Gosport - High Streets Heritage Action Zone

What is the High Streets Heritage Action Zone?

The High Streets Heritage Action Zone (HSHAZ) is a government funded scheme delivered by Historic England. Its aim is to secure lasting improvements and help breathe new life into our historic high streets for the communities and businesses that use them. 

Selected as one of 68 locations, Gosport Borough Council in partnership with Hampshire Cultural Trust (HCT) secured funding of £1.78 million to implement a four year multi-project programme across Gosport High Street and Stoke Road conservation areas.

Through these projects, Gosport's HSHAZ plans to transform disused or underused high street buildings and establish new creative, cultural, residential and commercial opportunities.

With Gosport's local heritage and character at its core, it is hoped the HSHAZ will become a catalyst for further investment and regeneration across borough. 

We have a new website!
