 As the recession deepens, High Streets across the wider UK are under greatly increased pressure. Many are struggling to provide essential services, jobs and a vibrant heart to their local communities. The British Retail Consortium believe a bright, post-recession future can be secured for UK High Streets but they need to be actively planned, managed and nurtured if this is to be achieved.
Our new report, 21st Century High Streets: A new vision for our town centres, sets out a twenty-point plan for securing the long-term future of town centre retailing well beyond the end of this recession. These key recommendations are underpinned by examples of excellent practice from across the UK, where civic vision, leadership and investment, combined with effective partnerships, have delivered thriving High Streets.
