The City Centre
Reading city centre is able to react to the demands of all its users as a result of the City Centre Strategy and Action Plan, which was adopted in January 2005 by the City Centre Management Company, Reading Borough Council and the Local Strategic Partnership. This five-year plan has five main themes:
- A thriving city centre
- City Centre accessibility
- A socially inclusive city centre
- A quality environment and a safe city centre
- Development and expansion
