Town Centres revived

town centres to be welcoming, pleasant, safe spaces where we can meet, greet, and treat ourselves and each other. Places that celebrate things that make us feel better, offer culture, street theatre, vibrant cafes. personal care and advice. Where you can get what you you cannot buy online. Strip away the do not signs, the ugly street furniture, the yellow lines and replace with flags and flowers and coloured paving and gentle ways to discourage vehicles. Encourage maintenance of shops and buildings, and if the provision of toilets is a drain on the council then reward businesses that offer that facility a tax incentive. Provide parking areas for bikes. By all means protect and value our green spaces but town centres can renew us too.
