What makes a great town?
Attractions
Attractions help to define a town’s identity and comprise the range and diversity of shopping and other activities which draw in customers and visitors.
Accessibility
Successful centres need to be easily accessible by the surrounding areas through road and public transport networks. Ease of access within a town between public transport stops, carparks, and key attractions is also essential.
Health & Wellbeing
A healthy town needs to be a pleasant place to spend time in. It should be attractive in terms of environmental quality and urban design, it should be safe and it should have a distinct identity or image.
Engagement
Actions and initiatives are needed to ensure the viability of the town centre including delivery of improvement projects, regular cleaning and maintenance and co-ordinated town centre management initiatives to promote the continued improvement of the centre.
