MPs in the course of evidence given to the Culture Media and Sport (CMS) Select Committee on protecting built heritage were told that time-limited grants and skills gaps in heritage crafts and trades are among challenges facing the sector, reports the Arts Professional.
The Arts Professional writes:
Heritage properties are at risk because of time restrictions placed on grants, leading to a ‘boom and bust’ funding landscape with a lack of stability and continuity…
… Camilla Finlay, director at Clews Architects, said working in the sector has become less stable over the past decade due to a lack of money compared with the number of historic buildings and communities that need support.
