Growth and Investment
The Southampton City Vision consultation has now closed. We will share results in the coming weeks and there will be further opportunity to give us your views later in the year.
In your responses to our previous stage of consultation you told us that growth and investment is a high priority. You value local high streets and recognise the importance of supporting local independent businesses meaning that you don’t want to see all investment happening exclusively in the city centre. You also told us that the city needs some investment to improve public spaces and make Southampton a pleasant space that people are proud of and enjoy spending time in.
Southampton has a thriving night-time economy i.e. facilities which are allowed to be stay open past 1am. It is not appropriate for these facilities to be located in all areas of the city and we'd like your help to identify where is suitable for our late-night economy. You can let us know using the interactive map below.
The night-time economy
Southampton has a thriving night-time economy i.e. facilities which are allowed to be stay open past 1am. However, we know that it's not appropriate for these facilities to be located in all areas of the city and we'd like your help to identify suitable locations. The existing zones for night-time economy are highlighted on this map as follows:
| - the city centre boundary |
| - evening zones where where facilities are allowed to stay open either until midnight or 1am |
| - late night hubs where facilities can stay open until 3am |
We'd like you to drop pins on the map to indicate any areas where you think it would be appropriate for venues to stay open beyond 1am.
