The city centre has seen significant investment in recent years, delivering new housing, retail, and leisure opportunities, reflecting the changing needs of residents and visitors, and adapting the dynamic of the city centre, to support vibrant, award-winning day and night-time economies.
The long-term vision, currently being shaped through the draft Local Plan, is to create a progressive and liveable city centre in line with other cities across the country. One that is safe and well connected to attract more tourists. The additional green spaces and better travel options for all will build a sense of community amongst users, whether that’s families enjoying quality time outdoors or commuters finding cheaper ways to get to work.
Our ambitious transport plans will create a more vibrant and welcoming environment for everyone living, working, studying, and spending time in the city. The package of government funded schemes will create a family-focussed city centre that improves community, economic and cultural life through enhancing public spaces within the city.
