Ryde Town Council, lead partner for the Ryde HAZ, is committed to ensuring that the High Streets Heritage Action Zone is a project shaped by the whole community of Ryde.
The plans and projects over the four year programme will help to fulfil the Town Council’s Vision for Ryde:
"To support and enhance the health, wellbeing and economy of Ryde to the benefit of residents, local businesses and visitors within a culture that makes the best use of our heritage and the beauty of Ryde".
Throughout the planning, delivery and legacy stages of Ryde HAZ, local stakeholders will be encouraged to take an active role in maximising the cultural potential of our high street.
Community groups and stakeholders are, therefore, integral partners in shaping, designing and delivering Ryde HAZ and will be invited to engage throughout the life of the programme and beyond to ensure that community needs and views are incorporated into the vision for Ryde and the HAZ into the future.
