We agree that Leamington Spa should be the focus for growth. However, opportunities will be constrained and therefore selective expansion should be brought forward.

The Core Strategy should recognise Leamington Spa town centre is underperforming, slipping down the sub-regional hierarchy and will continue to do so without major investment.

It should also recognise the need for a stronger foodstore anchor within or on the edge of the town centre.

It should also encourage the town to maximise its potential by seeking modern new retail attractions, particularly larger convenience and bulky comparison retail formats.
