Bassetlaw District Council (the Council) has been successful in securing funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) towards the development of a Stage 2 bid for a Townscape Heritage (TH) for part of Bridge Street in Worksop town centre and conservation area. The Townscape Heritage Initiative is the Heritage Lottery Fund's grant giving programme for the repair and regeneration of the historic environment in towns and cities throughout the UK. The TH offers funding for comprehensive and targeted programmes of repair, re-use and enhancement of historic urban areas. The main aim of the scheme is to make possible the continued viable use of the buildings which make up the special architectural character of historic urban areas, giving highest priority to the repair of historic buildings and to bringing derelict and underused historic buildings back into use. In addition to restoration of buildings a TH provides education to the community on many aspects of conservation, restoration and heritage through events, activities and media.
The Council is seeking the services of a Consultancy to take forward and develop the 2nd Stage bid for submission for funding through the HLF.
