The Changing Nature of Our High Streets and Town Centres

The High Street Task Force found that the single most important factor in delivering and sustaining positive change in our towns and cities is partnership working.  Join A Better Way Members Ian Harvey and Jean Ball from the Institute of Place Management (IPM) in discussing the findings from the recently published High Street Task Force Report on what’s working to revive our high streets and town centres.

In 2019, led by the IPM, the High Streets Task Force (HSTF) was established to provide a coordinated voice for town centres, expert support, encourage the sharing and use of data in decision-making, and form and maintain local networks and partnerships. After more than five years of dedicated effort, the HSTF has concluded its programme, leaving a legacy of positive transformation across England. 

As part of A Better Way’s aims to facilitate greater relationships and support joining forces within and across sectors, we are hosting this joint meeting to share the key learnings from the work of the High Street Task Force and to discuss the recommendations of the report, exploring how A Better Way Principles and Behaviours can inform next steps. 

About the IPM - Based within Manchester Metropolitan University, The Institute of Place Management is a professional network that creates positive impact and transformation in places through place-based research, education and knowledge exchange with a trusted and respected community of academics, students, practitioners, policy makers and local and central government.
