Re: Death Of The High Street?
I believe that High Street shopping as we knew it is over. Not just because of this awful plague but because of the very foolish pedestrianisation that is being imposed in so many places, parking impossibilities and ridiculous fees, necessary high prices because of now huge overheads that shops have and the ready access to business parks where parking is a cinch and prices are lower because of reduced shop overheads.Re: Death Of The High Street?
Too many selling identical goods. No choice, no large shops now that Debenham's store has closed. Stores that remain mostly cater for younger shoppers, nail bars, vape shop, tattooist, computer games, takeaways and wine bars.Re: Death Of The High Street?

There are more and more empty shops here too, Shroppy.Re: Death Of The High Street?
It started here when all the banks pulled out. Some shops really make the effort whereas others have gone to the wall and will eventually be turned into accommodation. We hardly ever shop in Exeter these days because of the ridiculous parking fees. Councils seem hell bent on pricing everyone out and converting them to online shopping. Some car parks charge £3.30 for one hour.Re: Death Of The High Street?
How awful Mups. It must be absolutely heartbreaking to be swindled out of one's hard-earned money when scammed. We all have to be so careful and savvy when online. HWMO and I don't even have an online Bank Account as we just don't trust the security. Probably an age thing. I am also sick to death of the constant telephone calls on the landline (we ignore them all but always look up the number online at ''WHO CALLED ME'', they will tell you whether it was a dangerous, harrassment, call etc.Re: Death Of The High Street?
