The strategy is intended to guide the development of the public spaces in the town centre and sets out a 20 year vision, priorities for investment and design solutions, this strategy will help make it possible for creation of unique , sustainable, high quality town centre environment of beautiful and safe public spaces for Barnsley.

Draft design briefs  for six 'priority' sites and seven 'gateway' sites in the town centre have been prepared. These briefs will provide the information necessary to prepare detailed designs.
