I think we need to realise that town centres are changing, retail is over provisioned and online shopping isn't going away. We need to be able to reuse existing town centre buildings for new, potentially non-retail uses. For example there are shops in Stratford that have laid empty for many years (Paperway, BHS, Debenhams) that could be repurposed as housing or community spaces. Imaginative uses like this should be encouraged by the SWLP rather than setting town centres in aspic.
