\"Context<\/a>The \u2018Heritage at risk\u2019 officer\u2019s role, as reviewed by Dan Longman in the IHBC member journal Context<\/em> issue 150, on Conservation and Urbanism, has been featured on email updates from our partner service Designing Buildings Wiki (DBW), the construction industry knowledge base.<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Dan Longman writes of the role (with links to DBW articles):<\/p>\n

.. Parts of the job will be familiar to most\u00a0local authorities<\/a>. Working with colleagues in the preparation of\u00a0conservation area<\/a>\u00a0appraisals and management plans has been particularly important. Appraisals allow the council to judge\u00a0planning applications<\/a>\u00a0in the light of the significance of\u00a0heritage assets<\/a>\u00a0highlighted in our reports. Due to past pressures, it is only now with the support of this role that much of this analysis is finally being carried out. Councils up and down the country are facing increasing workloads with fewer resources, so it is vital that temporary posts such as this help plug the gap until a long-term solution can be found.<\/p>\n

Other major elements of the work of a heritage-at-risk<\/a>\u00a0officer are publicity, promotion and even inspiration. Earlier this year we collaborated with several community groups to produce a trio of heritage trails aimed at showcasing the\u00a0history<\/a>\u00a0of Lord Street, Southport\u2019s parks and\u00a0gardens<\/a>, and the Regency town of Waterloo. The Titanic\u2019s Captain Smith once lived just a few yards up the\u00a0road<\/a>\u00a0from the childhood home of Joseph Bruce Ismay, the managing director of the White Star Line. Everton FC\u2019s ground owes much of its past to Waterloo-based\u00a0engineer<\/a>\u00a0George Goodison.<\/p>\n

Back in the office I regularly update fellow employees across the whole council using our internal media network, raising the profile of the\u00a0conservation<\/a>\u00a0team and publicising the efforts we make to enhance the\u00a0historic environment<\/a>. We hope these actions are inspiring people to pay more attention to their local heritage and instilling a lost sense of civic pride\u2026.\u2019<\/p>\n
