The Government-funded High Streets Heritage Action Zones programme ran from 2019-2024, operating in England only. It was administered by Historic England. Since 2019, there have been £90,948,829 in grants awarded through the fund.

The programme has funded the transformation and restoration of over 60 high streets, creating economic growth and improving quality of life in these areas.

Two grants were awarded in Kent, in Ramsgate and Chatham. In total, the two schemes were awarded £2,241,797 over the course of the programme.

The High Streets Heritage Action Zone programme came to an end in March 2024.
