Dr. Philip Crowe:

Ms Ali Harvey from the Heritage Council has said for many years that we focus in this country on building by building. We do not have programmes for revitalisation at the scale of a town. The funding is not there. It is funding individual building by individual building and asking property owners to become developers. If we look at a country like France, they have multiple programmes for the town centre, for small villages and it is renewal at scale. We are just missing that.
