City Centre Performance Report Pavement Cafes Promotions, other activities & Festive Opening Times

City Centre Management (CCM) helps to develop and maintain Nottingham City Centre as the prime East Midlands destination of choice for shopping and leisure within the UK. The focus for CCM is working with the private sector to attract new retail investment, improve the retail environment and to promote the shopping / leisure offer.  This joined-up activity results in improvements to the City Centre Experience for businesses and shoppers.

Our key messages for Nottingham in 2007 are:

* Retail - Nottingham continues to maintain its position as the top retail destination in the regions and is predicted to remain so despite heavy investment in Leicester and Derby.

* Leisure - Two new style casinos have opened this year broadening the City Centre's entertainment offer.

* Residential - The convenience and buzz of living in the City Centre proves popular for residents in new and converted apartments.

* Commercial - Rents rise in the office sector and take up has been healthy, breathing confidence into future developments.

* Public Realm and Events - Hockley gets a new pedestrianised look and feel to the area and the City is awarded more medals for Nottingham in Bloom.

* Night Time Economy - Businesses vote in favour of a Business Improvement District, designed to improve the night time visitor experience.
