I'm not sure what edge of centre development means. I'd like to therefore state categorically that I object to any further retails development outside of the town centre (s) such as around what is known as Queensway or 'leamington Retail Park. At the same time, ways must be found to 'level' the playing field between these out of town sites and the historic centres. Levies must be placed on the former and subsidies on business rates / parking on the latter. If large cities such as Paris can do just this then why not Leamington / Warwick? Fine words but without tangible support will lead to their rapid decay. They are important points of distinction that separate the two towns from 'High Street Britain' or 'Any Retail Park, UK'. A referendum should be held on such important matters including future town centre development. Other towns manage this and we should follow.
