Local list of heritage assets
The Regeneration Team are creating a Local List of heritage assets. The borough has many buildings that have heritage interest but these buildings are not on the national list and they are at threat of being altered unsympathetically or demolished, they can be viewed on the local list. The Government encourages Local Authorities to create a local list and Fylde Council started with Lytham St Annes and then Kirkham Wesham, Singleton, Freckleton, and will roll out to the remainder of the borough.
The project is an Action in the Heritage Strategy and the background can be read in the Protocol document.
