As we emerge from the pandemic, this event will focus on the future for Leicester, using latest research from Centre for Cities: Cities Outlook 2022. How can we as a city thrive in the future?

Join us from 12-2pm on Friday 25 February 2022 in-person at Nelsons for the latest LBV monthly event.

The Cities Outlook 2022 report looks in-depth at the state of UK high streets to get a sense of the short-term impact of the pandemic on Britain’s town and city centres and the long-term consequences and implications this has for the Government’s levelling up agenda.

Valentine Quinio, a Centre for Cities analyst, will present the report and a panel discussion will look at the outlook for Leicester and how the city can prosper in the future. Panel members include:

• David Beale, Development Manager at Leicester City Council
• Jo Tallack, General Manager at Highcross Leicester
• Verity Hancock, Principal and CEO at Leicester College
• Michael Weedon, Federation of Small Businesses, leading on High Streets, Retail, Growth and Localism

Spaces are limited (30 people maximum) for this event and priority will be given to LBV members. Tickets are FREE for members and £15 for non-members (plus Eventbrite booking fee). Hospitality is kindly provided by Nelsons.
