Representation Summary:
Support site RY12: Revitalise town centre, support subject to retention of adequate parking
Full text:
I would strongly advocate early adoption of the retail development of this site. Provided adequate parking is retained, e.g. by addition of a multi-storey car park, then this development would provide a much needed boost to a tired town centre. The current town centre shops share the issue of poor delivery access and small units which put off major retailers. If the town hall site is developed with mid&large size units and good delivery access, major retailers will be persuaded to Royston, which will revitalise the town centre and attract Royston residents to shop locally.
