Report informing members about the submission of a first-round application to the Heritage Lottery Fund to seek funding for the establishment of a Townscape Heritage Scheme within Hinckley town centre conservation area.

Members were informed about the submission of a first-round application to the Heritage Lotter Fund to seek funding for the establishment of a Townscape Heritage scheme within Hinckley town centre conservation area.

There was some discussion on the plans to reconfigure Church Walk car park, the inclusion of heritage lighting on the site of the planned Aldi supermarket adjacent to Baptists Walk, and claw back arrangements for unused funding.

Members suggested the scope of the scheme should be widened (or included as part of a separate scheme) to take in the former police station and cinema and even Ashby Road. It was agreed that this would be fed back to officers.
