Previous consultation and engagement
We already have a lot of information on what residents, service providers, businesses, developers and visitors want to see as part of an improved city centre.
This has included consultations on our City Mobility Plan, City Centre Transformation Plan, World Heritage Site Management Plan, which included online surveys, sessions with key stakeholders and drop in sessions.
