Vision Survey

The Vision describes the context and future directions for the growth of Newcastle city centre. It sets a strategic framework for the city centre to grow into a more vibrant and attractive city.

The Vision is encapsulated in a number of statements. Through this website, you are able to voice your agreement or disagreement with the Vision through a simple rating and comments mechanism, i.e. a digital form attached to each statement.

To 'Have Your Say' on the Vision, review each of the statements, starting with "Growing the City Centre".
