Justification

The Council supports a range of town centre management initiatives including events and festivals, Christmas lights and street markets, leaflets and publicity material including the Visit Richmond website, which have encouraged local people and visitors to the centre. There have also been inward investment initiatives including a Borough pack and a Twickenham Town centre pack to encourage new retailers and other businesses to locate in the centre.The Council is committed to the promotion of tourism and in Twickenham will continue to encourage use of the river and its environs by supporting the use of the towpath, the adjoining parks and open spaces and preserving and enhancing the historic and working waterfront, together with better co-ordination and marketing of the historic houses along and in proximity to the River Thames.These initiatives will be complemented through the environmental and transport proposals of the Plan.
