The four-year strategy was developed following a period of public consultation with residents, visitors, businesses and stakeholders to help direct the council on ways to revitalise and enhance the town centre, support the local economy, instil a sense of pride in heritage and place as well as bring the Borough’s diverse community together.
From this clear vision, an action plan based on the themes of Clean and Safe; Open for Business; Culture, Heritage and Events; and Transformation was developed.
The action plan has helped bring the council, its partners, community representatives and the voluntary sector even closer together to lead the programme of work set out in the strategy and action plan.
At the start of the first year, 73 actions were committed to, with an additional action later added on. By the end of the year, 24 actions were completed, 47 were on target and three required further attention.
The activities and initiatives in Year One included:
Cllr Dale Broughton, Deputy Leader and Portfolio Holder for the Town Centre, said: “This summary report captures the highlights of everything that has been achieved in the first year of this strategy and it is something the community can be very proud of.
“Events have brought thousands of residents and visitors to the town centre on a scale which has not been seen here for a long time. We are improving the appearance of the town centre, enhancing our historic market and working with our partners to tackle anti-social behaviour and crime.
“And this is just the beginning. Now in year two, we are building on those first successes and working hard to deliver even more improvements and opportunities for the whole community.
“Work is continuing on tackling enviro-crime and improving community safety by enhancing CCTV and the continued presence of Community Rangers.
“There will be further improvements to street cleaning, work has started on the Rosegarth Square regeneration scheme and we have another opportunity to bring people together with the 900th anniversary of the Boston May Fair and much more.
“There is a huge amount of good work happening in Boston and this strategy is making a positive difference for our residents and businesses.”
