Issue - meetings

The Board considered the Improvement Plan Exception report for January 2009. Following a request at the last meeting of the Board, The Executive Director – Partnerships and Projects and the Portfolio Holder for the Town Centre were in attendance and updated the Board on issues relating to the redevelopment of the Town Centre.

The issues discussed included the Market Hall site and relocation of the Market to the High Street, the refurbishment of the Toilet Block, the new Medical Centre, the Sainsbury’s proposal, the Parkside Site, the Dolphin Centre and the Area Action Plan for the Town Centre. It was noted that the project plan for the Town Centre was being updated and modified as a result of the changes in circumstances which had occurred particularly in relation to the Parkside site.
