Bold updated Vision for ‘Life in Leamington’

The Leamington Transformation Board (LTB) has been working closely with a wide range of stakeholders through the summer of this year to produce an update to the previous 2018 Vision for Royal Leamington Spa town centre.

The Leamington Transformation Board brings together all three tiers of local government, to provide strategic direction for an ambitious programme of work to renew and regenerate the town centre.

The updated 2024-2034 Vision is the first piece of a series of commissions which intend to involve all who live, work and enjoy Leamington town centre in defining what the future of the place should look like and how, together, we will all achieve this.

Much has changed in the town centre since 2018, and this Vision update provides the high-level direction of travel against which all subsequent plans will be tested.

The LTB approved the document at it’s meeting on the 8th of October 2024 and the next step is for all three Councils, County, District and Town, to consider endorsing the Vision. WDC Cabinet are due to consider this on the 17th of October.

Mark Lee, Chair of the LTB commented: “Transforming Leamington is a key priority of all three local authorities and the extent of engagement on preparing this Vision has shown how passionate stakeholders are about the future of their town centre. This Vision articulates the headline themes of Healthy People, Healthy Place and Healthy Planet to restore Royal Leamington Spa as one of England’s finest town centres.”

The next piece of work commissioned by LTB is the Parade Masterplan which is now underway using the same consultant team as the Vision and specific engagement mirroring that on the Vision is being planned to be undertaken over the coming months.
