Minutes:

The Project Delivery Manager presented an update report on the Revitalising the Heart of Chesterfield scheme and sought approval to commence consultation on the draft Vision Master Plan.

 

Like many town centres, footfall in Chesterfield had been declining due to a number of issues and challenges. In response, Chesterfield Borough Council was supporting action to attract people back into the town centre. A copy of the draft Vision Master Plan was attached at Appendix A of the officer’s report.
