High Street Heritage Action Zone
About us
Reading is one of 68 areas of England to receive a share of a £95 million government fund having secured High Street Heritage Action Zone (HSHAZ) status for three conservation areas in the centre of the town. As a result Reading has received £806,500 for the implementation of a four-year programme with Historic England, match funded by Reading Borough Council.
The programme combines three complementary strands; Physical interventions, Community engagement and a Cultural Programme of activities and events celebrating the history of the high street and its importance to local communities over the generations.
