The Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government has announced that a new forward-thinking High Streets Task Force supporting local leaders to revitalise high streets and town centres has been launched.
High Streets Minister Jake Berry said that the High Streets Task Force will be comprised of experts who will provide tailored guidance and advice to local authorities seeking to breathe new life into their local high streets and town centres as they battle against changing consumer habits.
The Task Force, which will be run by the Institute of Place Management, has been created in response to the recommendations of the High Streets Expert Panel chaired by the hugely successful entrepreneur Sir John Timpson, who argues that successful change is created by local communities who have a vision for their high streets and town centres.
Berry said: “High streets and the way we use them are changing, and this government is committed to helping communities to adapt. We want to see vibrant town centres where people live, shop, use services and spend their leisure time. But in order to evolve successfully, high streets must meet the needs of their local community and the key to this is strong local leadership. This is why we are providing additional support through a High Streets Task Force, drawing on the best expert advice, training and data that’s available.”
The news follows a funding boost of over £100,000 for four local communities and the Transforming Places Through Heritage fund opening, focusing on reinvigorating England’s high streets and town centres.
