Our centres are changing and the need to adapt to these changes should be planned as part of a broader conversation with those that use the centres, those that work there and those that represent surrounding communities.
To this end we have arranged an interactive evening workshop for up to 40 people on Wednesday 6 December, from 6pm to 8pm in the Ground Floor Committee Room at Loxley House (please arrive at 5.45pm to enable a prompt start at 6pm). The purpose of the workshop will be to consider how Nottingham’s City Centre and other centres are changing over time and think together about how our centres can meet future needs.
The workshop will be facilitated by Ben Stephenson, who is an experienced consultant working with towns and cities across the country, including as an expert with the High Streets Task Force, a government programme which provides help to town centres to plan for change. Ben is also a Senior Fellow of the Institute of Place Management and Chief Executive of the Angel Islington Business Improvement District.
Refreshments will be provided. Please let us know whether you will be able to attend by registering in the link below or by messaging us.
