The project will carry out a longitudinal analysis of the qualitative impact of the Sunderland Historic High Streets Heritage Action Zone (HAZ) on local residents in and around the HAZ area. The project will take place in the residents own community spaces and focus on the richness of individual case stories and on sense of place through belonging and identity and the relationship of the HAZ to its development or change (or otherwise). Selected or self-selected participants will maintain feedback over the remaining HAZ period (2022)in order to assess any long term changes to local attitudes towards their sense of place.

The project aims to produce robust evidence of the effects of changes made to local historic environment services since the advent of austerity, on owners and managers of historic assets, as customers of local authority services, and the projects they sought to undertake.
