Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused many English town and parish councils to consider how they might help revitalise their already-declining town and village centres and high streets. Some places have been lucky enough to benefit from UK Government funding, others are needing to find other ways to make a difference. A number of key steps are emerging: 1) involving local residents and businesses from the outset; 2) establishing a regeneration partnership with other organisations; 3) working with all the above to create a shared regeneration strategy; 4) finding the funds to make a difference over time. This paper shares the experience of a number of places as they gather the partners and techniques to bring a regeneration programme to life, and also seek to ensure that local projects are sustainable enough to deliver the desired local outcomes.
