The centre of Tuxford was designated a conservation area in 1980.  Over recent years buildings have become empty and needing repair with many losing their historic architectural features.  In 2009 English Heritage categorised Tuxford as a ‘Conservation Area at Risk’, as the area was losing its historic significance.

In order to stem the decline and enable building owners and businesses to restore the historic centre of Tuxford and contribute to its rejuvenation Bassetlaw District Council, working in partnership with Nottinghamshire County  Council and English Heritage have launched a grant scheme. 

The grant scheme shall allow for repair and restoration of building as well as the reinstatement of the historic features where there is evidence they once existed.  The grant scheme is conservation lead, therefore traditional methods and building materials should be used throughout.  Depending on the extent and nature of works grants may be offered up to 80% of the total cost.
