Description.
Newbury comprises an attractive and
vibrant shopping environment which was
further enhanced by the opening of Parkway
Shopping Centre in 2011. The development is
accessed via Northbrook Street which provides
approximately 300,000 sq ft of retail and leisure
accommodation, including Next, M&S, Fat Face,
Hotel Chocolat, H&M and Waterstones.
Newbury has undergone significant investment
and regeneration and is the principal commercial
and retail hub of West Berkshire. As of February
2022, the Newbury Masterplan to future-proof
the town was given full approval. The Masterplan
looks to broadening the leisure, community
and cultural offerings of the town. The two key
areas set to benefit from the Masterplan is
the Wharf with the creation of new waterfront
leisure, events and social space. The other being
the town centre which will see environmental
improvements and better access routes for both
pedestrians and cyclists making Newbury a more
desirable place to live, work and visit.
