Protect Our Place

Final Report

By Sarah Spurrier, Steve Graham, Ian Harvey

The Protect our Place project was designed by Civic Voice to show why community groups and volunteers protect and promote their local area in the way that they do, and to understand what lessons can be learned to support this in the future.

The project was supported by English Heritage in the context of the National Heritage Protection Plan (NHPP).
