5 Health and Wellbeing

Issue 5 recognises that people need to relax and have the opportunity to access leisure facilities but for continuity we suggest that the title of the background paper is used here to delete the word 'cinema' and insert leisure, recreation, arts, cultural and community events.. Using one word as an example of a particular group does not provide, in our opinion, adequate explanation of a strategy which incorporates many other components.

We don't see Issue 5 reflected here and suggest another bullet point is added to ensure that existing leisure, arts, cultural facilities and tourist attractions (which would include Warwick Castle and Packwood House) will be protected and enhanced as the foundations for any further developments. We are concerned that your tourism attractions are not receiving any specific attention in the issues and objectives.

Objectives

Suggests that tourism should be included alongside retail and leisure as facilities which need continuing improvement in the three towns.

There is an overlap between Objectives 3 and 15 as the word 'leisure' is used in both these statements. We suggest Objective 3 focuses on town centre vitality through shops so that Objective 15 deals only with leisure and culture matters.

We suggest that Objective 11 should use the term 'community facilities' for clarity with a description such as, the provision of retail, social, health and educational needs of the community.
