A Guide to Maintenance and Repair for Owners and Tenants
Leominster is a town steeped in history. Its historic streets and buildings are an important part of its development and we should ensure these are preserved, to celebrate the unique character of the town, and to pass on these special buildings for future generations to enjoy.
Keeping historic buildings in good condition isn't always easy, and it can be difficult to know where to start. The good news is there is a wealth of information available. We have compiled this resource to help you get the information you need to care for your building.
This guide is aimed at anyone who lives in, works in, or owns an historic property in Leominster.
