This public realm framework has challenged a small town to embrace a vision that confronts its complacency, embraces its past and establishes an authentic aspiration. It creates a vision for persistent incremental improvement broken down into five key areas. It defines the shared vision as one that has a central focus around the Rutland Square market, that reduces the current emphasis on the car and that capitalises on heritage and environmental assets. This is a well-presented and thorough appraisal of public realm function, purpose and practical use. It is a community-based plan with realistic priorities for delivery.
