High Streets and Town Centres Working Group

This working group is producing a consultation paper for Autumn Conference 2025 and the final paper will be ready for Spring Conference 2026.

The remit of this group is to review the party’s policies on high streets and town centres, and make updated proposals which communicate our values of liberty, equality, democracy, community, internationalism and environmentalism in a way which helps secure the election of as many Liberal Democrats as possible, at local, regional and national level, in order to promote our vision of society.

The group's remit is set out here.
