These Lancashire councils have been awarded £80,000 each for cultural high street projects
Two Lancashire councils have been awarded £80,000 each to help develop a cultural programme for their high streets.
Blackpool Council and West Lancashire Borough Council announced this week that they have each been awarded a grant from Historic England as part of the High Streets Heritage Action Zone (HSHAZ) and Community Cultural Programme.
The councils' HSHAZs are two of more than 60 high streets in the country to receive a share of £6million for their proposed community cultural programme which is aimed at delivering events to re-engage local communities within the high street.
