Local Authority World Heritage Forum (LAWHF)
Bath is
a member of the Local Authority World Heritage Forum (LAWHF), a
group for those UK Local Authorities responsible for a World
Heritage Site in their area or or a site seeking World Heritage
status. The Forum aims to represent the interests of local
authorities in relation to World Heritage and raise awareness of
World Heritage Site issues.
It talks to Government about the needs of local
authorities caring for World Heritage Sites, provides a forum
for discussion and information exchange, and publishes experience
of managing World Heritage Sites in the United Kingdom. The Forum
works with a range of organisations, including ICOMOS, ICCROM,
English Heritage, Cadw and Historic Scotland.
LAWHF was formed in 1995 and is co-ordinated by Telford &
Wrekin Borough Council. As of June 2003, the Forum has 22
members.
