 We were delighted to become the Forum's newest Partner in January this year. As a retailer with a strong focus on town centres, we fully support the objectives of the Forum in seeking to revitalise urban centres, contribute to regeneration and preserve the built heritage. Good, appropriate design and investment in the public realm are priorities in all our development plans, as vital elements of creating good 'places' which help to bolster community cohesion and raise civic pride. We look forward to working other Partners and members of the Forum.
