English Heritage have found that one in seven conservation areas are at risk. Some of the the issues that could put a conservation area – like Wanstead High Street, Spratt Hall Road or the Grove Estate – under threat are:
- unsightly satellite dishes
- uPVC replacement windows and doors
- street clutter
- poorly maintained roads and pavements
- ugly shop fronts
- dilapidation
This excellent interactive tool shows what can be achieved when these issues are tackled. Try it and be amazed.
