Why your views matter

We are keen to hear your views on the emerging vision for Leamington town centre - we want to know your ambitions for Leamington town centre and how you think it should develop in the future.

Why is a vision needed?

• Town centres and high streets everywhere in the UK have gone through a period of  large change;
• We're seeing a lot of big problems like the effects of climate change, online shopping becoming more popular, more people working from home, not enough homes for everyone, everything getting more expensive, and loss of nature;
• A vision was drawn up in 2018 and we need to look at it again in the light of a rapidly changing world. Click here to read the 2018 vision;
• A vision is needed to guide change in the town over the next decade or more.

Who’s prepared it?

• It has been prepared by LDA Design who specialise in town centre regeneration and urban design.
• It has been prepared on behalf of Leamington Transformation Board (Warwickshire County Council, Warwick District Council and Royal Leamington Spa Town Council);
• It has been prepared through engagement with an advisory group including the Leamington Transformation Board, local businesses and young people.
