Through this programme, we are setting out to connect the people of Burnley with our civic history by focusing on the built and social heritage within Burnley's Civic Core. This is an area of central Burnley which encompasses some remarkable buildings and spaces which are used every day by local people. However, this is an area under threat, as some of the buildings are in decline and it is felt the heritage is not well known about or understood, which we want to change. To achieve this, we have identified our 'high-five' objectives - 1) make physical improvements to the area by addressing the threats to heritage through building repair and restoration works, while; 2) making our heritage assets sustainable and manageable; 3) engage the community with the intriguing historic events, people and stories that have shaped our town; 4) public realm works to improve visitor experience, and the setting of listed buildings, and; 5) enhancement of public squares. Ultimately, we want to protect our heritage, make it sustainable for the future, connect with our community and make Burnley a more attractive and vibrant place to live, work and visit.
