We're super excited to be launching heritage grants schemes in Louth and Wragby and continuing our work in Horncastle!

Keep an eye out on our socials and website for updates including how local businesses can express interest in the schemes!

A new funding scheme which aims to transform the historic environment and boost the local economy through investment in Louth, Wragby and Horncastle’s historic shopping areas is now open to applications.

Funded through the East Lindsey Investment Fund (ELIF), the Heritage Grant Scheme will be administered by Heritage Lincolnshire and will offer medium and small grants to retail businesses in the market towns for the repair and reinstatement of their historic buildings.

Eligible works include exterior works to shopfronts, signage, improvement of the appearance of upper floors and the reinstatement of historic features. There is also funding to improve public areas and funding to explore future investment and development options for vacant or neglected sites in these areas.

All three towns are designated as Conservation Areas and are currently included in the National Heritage At Risk Register, but it is hoped that with targeted investment and improvements they can be removed 🤞
