Heritage At Risk

EDM number 1748 in 2008-09, proposed by Keith Vaz on 25/06/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Cultural heritage.

That this House is extremely concerned by the recent findings of English Heritage that one in seven conservation areas, one in 30 listed buildings and one in five scheduled monuments are at risk of being destroyed by disrepair, neglect and the introduction of modern fixtures and fittings; believes that the protection and preservation of the character and history of the areas in which people live and work is paramount; acknowledges that city centre high streets will undoubtedly change over time and that they need to remain practical for modern usage; welcomes the £19 million investment that Leicester City Council has directed to the regeneration of Leicester's High Street; and calls on the Government to ensure that all local councils act towards conserving the characteristics that make the UK's towns and cities unique.

This motion has been signed by a total of 24 MPs.
