No strategy in document as to how town centres should evolve. Words could mean anything. Conflict between development of town centres and conservation to maintain the centres. Conservation should be reserved for buildings/areas which are good examples of their kind and need refurbishment to keep them economically viable. Problem in Leamington and Warwick of mixing traffic with shops, arising from the town layout designed before the invention of motor vehicles. Bold strategy needed to change. Strategy required or nothing will happen.
Has need for4,500 or so jobs been identified? Could only work if adequate roads for workers/customers created to attract businesses.
