New communities are developing across the region, particularly in three growth areas.The East of England Historic Environment Forum is working with a wide range of partners to reach new audiences and improve community understanding and participation in heritage issues.This is particularly important in the areas that are most affected by growth.The whole of the sector is committed to involving more people who can benefit from the historic environment in different ways.This report includes examples of successful projects that are doing just that. All across the East of England communities and heritage organisations are actively involved in conserving and finding new uses for the historic buildings and landscapes that add so much to the quality of life in the region.

It was the first Garden City in the world and was designed to create an alternative to the poverty and slum conditions that were prevalent at the time. Stevenage and Harlow New Towns were developed in the aftermath of the Second World War to provide new communities for people from London. Now three growth areas are in development that will affect the East of England:Thames Gateway, London- Stansted-Cambridge-Peterborough, and Milton Keynes- South Midlands.There is a strong focus on ensuring that these new communities will be sustainable by making ORSETT AGRICULTURAL SHOW: effective use of natural resources, protecting the environment, promoting social cohesion and strengthening PROMOTING THURROCK’S the economy.The historic environment can help to create RURAL HERITAGE an immediate sense of pride in an area, a shared sense of Thurrock is situated in South Essex and within the belonging, and assist people to identify with the place they Thames Gateway area.

  • Budget Submission – the East of England: an Engine for Growth
    Dear Rt Hon Rishi Sunak MP MP, Chancellor of the Exchequer Budget Submission – the East of England: An Engine for Growth We are writing to you as Co-chairs of the East of England APPG officers to request that you consider, when preparing your March Budget statement, the submission the APPG agreed in advance of the anticipated (and ultimately delayed) Spending Review - An Engine for the Nation’s Prosperity. We also trust you will have in mind Cambridge Econometrics’ report – An Economic Strategy for the East of England – about which the APPG was briefed when it held its inaugural meeting last week. Like the UK Innovation Corridor APPG’s report - Local Industrial Strategy Growth Prospectus – these documents are complementary, and we endorse their findings. In fact, the very well attended APPG meeting - including ten Parliamentarians, representatives of LEPs and local government as well as business and university leaders - demonstrated the high degree of consensus across the East of England regarding what all agree are the opportunities, challenges and priorities for Government support for this region’s cities, market and coastal towns, and villages and, of course, to support its private, public and third sectors. We would therefore wish to emphasise our emerging collective vision for the East of England, which is: • as a network of dynamic high growth corridors, linking key regional clusters and institutions, connecting Cambridge with significant coastal assets and global gateways to the east and CaMkOx to the west as well as via the innovation
