What is Town Centre Management?

The town centre is the heart of any urban society. For some years a number of Northern Ireland's town centres have changed and not necessarily for the better.

The primary aim of Town Centre Management is to create active partnerships and broad networks to develop a healthy and sustainable town centre environment that involves and benefits all its stakeholders. This includes the public, private and voluntary sectors, as well as rate payers and visitors who use the town centre. It works to create an environment where social inclusion is the norm.
