Blueprint maps Salisbury's future

A vision for the future of Salisbury which aims to preserve the city's spirit is to be created in a blueprint spanning the next 20 years.

Salisbury District Council's project will concentrate on how the city will look and work.

"If we don't act now, all that will be left is great historic buildings in a lifeless place," said Council leader Councillor Kevin Wren.

Householders and businesses will be asked for their views on the proposals.

Funding is being supplied by the Regional Development Agency as well as the city's five economic partners: the chamber of commerce, South Wiltshire Economic Partnership, the Salisbury Tourism Partnership, City Centre Management and the Federation of Small Businesses.

Issues that will soon be affecting Salisbury include changes in car park demand, and the future use of the Guildhall and Market Square.
