Heritage Champions
Every local authority deserves the benefits that a Heritage Champion can bring. Champions across the country are using the historic environment as an asset to help achieve their local authority’s strategic goals and bring a better quality of life to their community.
Are you interested in becoming a Heritage Champion?
If you are, why not discuss the matter with the Leader of your authority and your fellow councillors. Many authorities have asked Cabinet Members with a related portfolio (such as Environment, Design, Regeneration or Community Development) to take on the role, while others have appointed a non-executive Member through the Committee system.
If your authority appoints a Champion, please let us know so we can keep you informed of relevant publications, training opportunities and other developments.

What's New?
- The date and location of the next national Heritage Champion conference has now been confirmed. It will take place on 15 November at the Foundling Museum in central London.
- Communities Secretary Eric Pickles and Transport Secretary Philip Hammond are concerned that the character of the country's urban spaces is being damaged and have urged local authorities to reduce the number of signs and other 'street clutter'. English Heritage shares this concern. We have produced detailed regional guidance and a series of practical case studies help promote the restoration of the character of our streets.
