  • Rejuvenation Strategy for the Pantiles Royal Tunbridge Wells
    A REJUVENATION STRATEGY FOR THE PANTILES ROYAL TUNBRIDGE WELLS FOREWORD Targetfollow, a leading commercial property investment and development company specialising in town and city centre sites, acquired the Upper Pantiles in January 2008 in order to extend and complement its existing ownership of the Lower Pantiles. The purchase included Tunbridge Wells and Rusthall Commons. Targetfollow’s interest now extends over a significant area at the southern end of the town centre. It is the first time in 100 years that the majority of The Pantiles has been under one ownership. This provides an opportunity for a more holistic approach to the regeneration and future management of The Pantiles. Evidence of Targetfollow’s long-term commitment to The Pantiles, and to Royal Tunbridge Wells is provided by its: 1. substantial investment to date in the Lower Pantiles; 2. recent acquisition of the Upper Pantiles; 3. work to deliver an independent cinema within The Pantiles; 4. engagement with the Council and other stakeholders to prepare a coordinated strategy for the effective long term management and enhancement of the area. The Upper Pantiles area has suffered over recent years, in part through lack of investment and active management. It is currently failing to meet its full potential as a destination for tourism, leisure and retail and as a place to live. Single ownership of the majority of The Pantiles provides certainty for this historic area, enabling a more cohesive and focussed approach to its long term management and the proposed rejuvenation. Targetfollow’s goals of enhancing the area and promoting rejuvenation by sensitive, positive management are shared by Royal Tunbridge Wells Borough Council.
