John Harvey, City Centre Manager, presented a draft City Centre Strategy for 2013-2022 to the Exeter Board. The strategy is in the early stages of development and will undergo widespread consultation. It aims to guide the City Centre Management Partnership in addressing challenges from reduced public funding, changing business relationships, and evolving consumer behavior and technology. The strategy framework covers the purpose, objectives, timelines, and partner responsibilities, while the consultation will gather input on residents' and visitors' priorities to shape the future vision for Exeter's city center.
