At its core, the CAV has been designed to tackle poor social mobility and deprivation by providing a much needed and complimentary range of services to the local community. The CAV has been designed by partnership working to respond to local conditions that are hindering social mobility and the ability for residents to make a full contribution to Newark’s local economy. Significant engagement has been undertaken to capture the views of residents, education partners, corporates and other stakeholders and shape this initiative. The range of community focused provision will include:
Better learning and employment opportunities for all in Newark.
Enhance the experience and ease for residents, visitors and employees.
A vibrant Town Centre where people visit, experience, shop, work and live.
To promote significant residential redevelopment in the town.
