Good Growth Town, Rural and Coastal High Street Development and Skills Programme
High streets across the country are facing enormous challenges and, at local level, our high streets and rural and coastal retail areas once dominated by retail shops, are changing fast in response to changing shopping habits, new lifestyles and working patterns. The exit of large retail stores and anchor institutions is also having a significant impact on footfall. Underlying economic conditions, geographical remoteness and the seasonality of tourism all help to exacerbate the challenges in Cornwall and Isles of Scilly and this is leading to an increase in the number of empty shops and reduced foot fall in most of our towns, especially in those that are not in tourism “hot spots”.

Heritage Protection Commissions Programme
The Heritage Protection Commissions provides funding for strategic research and to build skills and capacity in our historic environment. The research funding from this scheme helps us to know what our historic environment comprises, which aspects of it are the most significant, how people value and interact with it, and what innovations in science and approach will help us to look after it for the future. The capacity building is targeted towards helping to reduce or avoid risk to the historic environment by building the capacity and commitment of local communities to champion the conservation and enhancement of their own local historic environment.
