Town Centre Boundaries for England and Wales
User instructions:
Each marker in the map frame to the left of the screen represents the location of a town centre or retail core boundary. Hover over a marker with the mouse, and the name of the boundary will appear as a tooltip. Click on a marker, and the boundary and statistics will appear in the map frame to the right of the screen, and the table to the bottom of the screen, respectively.
          Use the pan and zoom buttons in the top left hand corners of the map frames to navigate spatially. Depending on the area of the boundary they represent, markers will appear and disapear as you zoom in and out. Click 'Backwards' and 'Forwards' to navigate temporally through the time series data.
          To search for a boundary, enter a name in the text box at the bottom of the map frame on the left hand side of the screen and click 'Search', then select a name from the drop down list and click 'OK'.
