Town Centre - suggest a more cohesive, and perhaps radical approach to redevelopment. Need to encourage a vibrant modern town, tastefully linked to the Edwardian seafront; may lift Conservation restrictions, pedestrianise Western Road, relocate station entrance to Devonshire Square and link redevelopment of the Sainsburys site across the railway. Retailing should be focussed as "Devonshire Mall", Sainsburys site and up to Sea Road and Sackville Road but not up London Road. Town Hall Square redevelopment must include Sainsburys and an associated car park to maintain the balance of Town Centre convenience with Ravenside out-of-town retail park facility.
