Re: High streets dying?
Definitely. The only shops round my town are pound shops, bookies, fast food mainly indisn takeaway shops, a newsagent, one freezer food shop, couple Sandwich shops and that's it. No clothes or shoe shops, many shops boarded up. Marks and Spencer closing down lots of shops not too far from me and i.m gutted, I live their food albeit a bit expensive. Have to go into big city Leeds if I want a good shopping spree but I rarely goRe: High streets dying?

I was a trader for half a century and have seen the decline over the years...there are many reasons.Re: High streets dying?
I think many things have killed our high streets, here many of us stopped going window shopping in the town because we refuse to pay so much to park our cars. The council started the rot. They also charge like wounded bulls for rent and business taxes, making the shops have to charge more than internet companies with out of town warehouses.Re: High streets dying?
