HSHAZ Community Engagement will involve events and activities related to the HSHAZ, heritage, history and culture as part of Dunstable Town Council’s events programme. All of the Community Services Team at Dunstable Town Council are involved with HSHAZ related community engagement until the programme ends at the end of March 2024.
What events and activities would you like to see? We would love to hear your ideas and suggestions!
If you have any queries or suggestions please do get in touch with Becky Wisbey (Head of Community Services) and Michelle Collings (High Street Heritage Action Zone Programme Manager) via info@Dunstable.gov.uk
