Town Centre Management

Loughborough Town Centre Management aims to create a partnership between all interests in the town centre, harnessing resources, ideas and commitment. It brings together public and private sectors to address the commercial, social, environmental and managerial aspects of what makes a town centre successful.

Check out the Loughborough Town Partnership website for useful information about the Town Centre and the Partnership.

Loughborough Town Centre has seen massive strides over recent years with the introduction of pedestrianisation, new secure parking, investment in the Town Hall, Charnwood Museum and parks. This has encouraged huge new investment including Regent Place Retail Park, The Rushes shopping and leisure development and many new residential schemes.

Loughborough Town Centre operational management comes under the Arts, Culture and Heritage service, along side Markets, the annual Street Fair, festive illuminations, Shopmobility, Crime Out of Loughborough and Street Trading legislation.

To keep members, town centre retailers and businesses up to date with the work of the Partnership,we produce a quaterly newsletter which is hand delivered to retailers.A copy is also attached in the related documents area above.

Loughborough Town Centre Benchmarking

Charnwood Borough Council, in partnership with Action for Market Towns and Leicestershire County Council, are currently conducting a Benchmarking exercise in Loughborough.  Benchmarking includes gathering data and information on key performance indicators within the town such as retail offering, footfall, car parking, business confidence, shopper origin and town centre user views.  The overall aim of Benchmarking is to measure town centre performance year on year to aid with regeneration initiatives.

By clicking on the link http://tiny.cc/loughborough both town centre users and non users are able to provide their ratings and views on various aspects of Loughborough town centre.

By asking both groups we hope to build up a detailed picture of Loughborough.

If you have any questions regarding the survey, please contact Mike King, Action for Market Towns, on 07818 068982 or mike.king@towns.org.uk
