To create a detailed plan for the repurposing & regeneration of every town and city in England, made available for full public consultation and supervised by an independent "Regeneration Tsar”. This should revisit the outcomes of the 'Future High Street Fund' and promote a nationwide solution.

We appreciate that some efforts in this regard have been made in 50 towns / cities, but it is important that a nationwide regeneration formulae is found.
