As well as shops town centres should provide range of realistic functions for leisure, recreation and cultural activities centred on restaurants, pubs, clubs, theatres, cinemas, libraries and museums. These elements play an active role in creating/maintaining vibrant town centres and contributing to stimulating night-time economy.

Use of word 'leisure' to describe functions of town centre is inadequate and document should address all elements of town centre uses as listed in PPS6. For clearer description of town centre uses, suggest - to provide a mix of uses for the retail, social, educational, spiritual, leisure and cultural needs of the community.
