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 emergence of an organised fire service in the 19th-century has resulted in a proud legacy of civic structures across London, often combining architectural elegance with functional efficiency. Instantly recognisable and highly cherished by the communities they serve, their historical and architectural interest has been recognised by many of them being designated as listed buildings. Although a number are no longer in original use, a good proportion still serve.
