Strategy for Leamington town centre needs to be clearer on its approach to dealing with the underperformance and should set out the options more clearly for sites for retail development. The under use of shops in Leamington and Warwick may well arise from the introduction of internet shopping as well as impediments to customers from poor parking arrangements and charges.
Before any ambitious plans are embarked on, customer satisfaction studies need to establish whether any new developments can be sustained even from a larger catchment population, if it happens.
