The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) launched a consultation on proposed changes to how English Heritage delivers its services. It is proposed that a charitable arm will be established whose purpose will be the conservation and public enjoyment of the National Heritage Collection.  It will undertake an ambitious programme of conservation of the collection and make a series of investments to improve the experience of visitors and members. There will be no changes to English Heritage’s current duties and responsibilities for championing, advising on and helping to conserve England’s wider historic environment. These will be delivered under the new name of ‘Historic England’.  It will continue to provide impartial advice to central government, local authorities, other heritage organisations and private owners. It will continue to co-ordinate the National Heritage Protection Plan, to manage the Heritage at Risk register and to provide access to its expert research and extensive archives. Comments are requested by 7 February 2014.
