Introduction
Several media channels have recently proclaimed the ‘death’ of UK High Streets or have been reporting store closures with job losses and economic fallout making the headlines. There have also been a number of expert reports, policy documents and research projects highlighting lower footfall and decline of in-store sales in recent years as casting a shadow of doubt over the High Street’s vitality. For instance, the Springboard UK 2017 Footfall Review reports that footfall has decreased every year since 2013 and in the last 10 years has fallen by 17%.

A nation of shopkeepers has been replaced by a nation of closed shutters, rusted padlocks and To Let signs. She took us to Margate, and the grim reality where 40% of shops are now defunct. Portas laid the blame partly on the doorstep of out-of-town supermarkets: “They’ve displaced the high street – it’s the single biggest effect.” And it doesn’t end there. “The question isn’t ‘how can high streets be saved, but which ones should we save?’ was the grim conclusion by Justin Taylor of property consultants, Cushman & Wakefield. Despite such worrying reviews and predictions, there can be a positive outcome, for those authorities and organisations willing to take control. They need to consider why people use towns, …
