Vision

A successful future Exeter City Centre will be a safe and welcoming place for residents, shoppers, students, visitors and businesses; and be resilient to changes in the climate.  A place that is…: 

‘…successful and inclusive, with streets and spaces that are safe, full of life, well-trodden and green. Education, community buildings, healthcare and jobs are all close at hand and connected with public transport and cycleways. The strong culture of the city spills out into our streets which are busy, with cafes, shops and play spaces that support a strong sense of community cohesion. People feel they belong and businesses are keen to invest. Our City Centre is the kind of place everyone deserves.’
