Ymatebydd: Bishop's Tachbrook Parish Council

Bishop’s Tachbrook Parish Council supports Draft Policy Direction 20 and agrees that town centres need urgent revitalisation. Using Leamington Spa as an example, the Council highlights the impact of out-of-town retail and online shopping. It believes increasing residential development and hotel provision will boost demand for local retail, hospitality and specialist outlets. Converting some retail units into small office spaces could also enhance employment opportunities. The Council questions the town centre hierarchy, suggesting Warwick be demoted due to spatial constraints and congestion, while Stratford-upon-Avon and Kenilworth should be prioritised above Warwick for investment and development.
