Supporting the high street
We are proud to support the vibrancy and resilience of Thornbury high street through a range of investments and community grants.
Recent initiatives include the installation of wayfinding signs to help residents and visitors navigate the local area and funding for planters in the high street.

The high street has also benefitted from funding to support local businesses and community groups to move into empty shops and post-Covid 19 funding to encourage people back to the area.
These initiatives, funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and administered by the West of England Mayoral Combined Authority, will help make sure Thornbury high street remains a lively and inclusive destination.
