Results
The Report is the first in a series of annual reports to be published on the ‘health’ of Poole Town Centre and the smaller centres within the Borough of Poole. The purpose of the ‘healthcheck’ is to review the vitality, viability and attractiveness of Poole Town Centre and the smaller centres within the Borough, as a place in which to shop, do business, work, live and spend leisure time. The report is based on the analysis of quantitative and qualitative information derived from the Retail Monitoring Survey undertaken in December 2006 and the 2006 Poole Opinion Panel Survey. The healthcheck provides a valuable insight into the diversity of land use in Poole Town Centre coupled with public perception of the services and facilities provided in the centre. The report also examines a number of components ranging from land use in the smaller centres within the Borough, transport and access to Poole Town Centre, Pedestrian flows in the town centre and developments and investments within Poole.
