We will position the city centre as the major retail, visitor and leisure destination on the South West peninsula and a great place to live, work, play and study.

We will achieve this by working with our partners to create a more attractive and greener city centre, maximising the significant investment in our public spaces with more homes, extensive events programme and cultural activities to attract residents and visitors all year round and by day and night to help your businesses to grow.

A new vision for a new era

Our ambitious plans for the next five years will strengthen the city centre’s position as a major retail, visitor and leisure destination and attract more visitors and customers for your businesses.
