Impact of Covid-19
It is acknowledged that the current pandemic will likely impact on the delivery of this scheme, in particular, the ability in delivering grant eligible work. The National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) have confirmed that funding for the Bridlington Quay Townscape Heritage scheme is still in place and remains uneffected. They have also confirmed they will be as flexible as possible in terms of funding and timescales in delivery grant-aided work. Please see the NLHF website here for further details.
Aims of the scheme
The Bridlington Quay Townscape Heritage (TH) scheme aims to improve part of Bridlington Quay conservation area, focussing on its heritage and the history of the area. The scheme consists of a number of elements:
- Grants to repair buildings
- Improving public areas and streets
- Activities to discover the heritage of the Bridlington Quay area
- Better management of the conservation area
Background
In early 2015 East Riding of the Yorkshire Council (ERYC) was awarded a Round One grant offer by Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF). Since that time we’ve been developing more detailed plans for the scheme. In July 2016 we secured a Round Two grant to put our exciting plans into action. The next four years will see almost £3 million spent on improving this part of the conservation area.
Why are we doing this?
Unlike many towns, Bridlington’s current town centre has developed relatively recently. Its current form was created when the coming of the railway line linked up the original (now ‘old’) town and the harbour. In 2010 Bridlington Quay was designated a conservation area in recognition of its special historic and architectural character. However, the conservation area is also classed as being ‘at risk’ by Historic England, identifying areas of concern including:
- Neglected buildings
- Poor advertising signage
- Unwelcoming spaces
- Lack of co-ordination in the public realm
The TH scheme will address some of these issues.
