Who are High Streets Task Force Experts?

This expertise provided by our Register of Experts, Mentors and Facilitators was a recommendation of the High Street 2030 Review, which called for additional capacity to support local authorities in transforming their high streets. Experts, Mentors and Facilitators will support high streets directly by providing a range of support services that form part of the wider Task Force programme.

To ensure the highest standards and broadest range of expertise in high street transformation, the Task Force has recruited Experts in partnership with Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI), Landscape Institute, Design Council, and Institute of Place Management. The Task Force worked with these national bodies to identify 42 areas of specialism which help ensure high streets are advised by those best placed to do so.

Experts were selected through an open two-stage recruitment process of application and panel selection, with a requirement that they demonstrate relevant educational and professional qualifications and at least 5 years’ experience in their respective specialism
