An expert group established to look at how Scotland’s towns and town centres can be made stronger has released its recommendations.
The Town Centre Action Plan Review Group has set out its findings in the report A New Future for Scotland’s Town Centres.
You can read the full report, its recommendations and evidence at www.futuretowns.scot.
Chaired by respected retail academic Professor Leigh Sparks, the panel was commissioned by Scotland’s Communities Secretary, Aileen Campbell MSP, to consider how the nation’s towns can be made greener, healthier, more equitable and inclusive places.
The report highlights the importance of Scotland’s towns and strengthening them while acknowledging progress made by the Scottish Government to support communities and town centres.
