Retail and Town Centre Study 2020
A joint Retail, Town Centre and Leisure Study was carried out for Allerdale and Copeland Borough Councils. The Study assesses the current position and need in terms of additional retail and leisure provision until the end of the Local Plan Period (2029) and considers the vitality and viability of the Principal Centre in Allerdale (Workington) and its Key Service Centres (Aspatria, Cockermouth, Maryport, Silloth and Wigton). It should be noted that the data collection and subsequent assessment was undertaken before Covid-19 and prior to the country being put on ‘lockdown’.
