City Core Definition and Protection
The City Core is the primary retail centre with major shopping centres, restaurants, and leisure facilities. It must be protected and strengthened as a community hub to build resilience against changing consumer demands and new technology.
City Core: It is the primary retail core, which has an excellent range and choice of shopping facilities represented by a mix of multi-national companies and independent retailers. Castle Court and Victoria Square are the two main shopping centres within the retail core. It also has a range of restaurants, cafes and leisure opportunities that attracts visitors and tourist. The city core needs to be protected and strengthened as a community hub to build resilience to changing consumer demands and new technology.
