"A drab December which saw fewer shoppers in all locations capped a disappointing year for UK retail footfall. Shopping habits have been changing fast and customers are increasingly looking for more experiential shopping, as well as a variety of cafes, services and things to do."
"Unfortunately, investment in town centres and high streets is held back by our outdated business rates system, which penalises town and city centres. The Government's proposals to reform business rates may ease the burden for some retailers, but it is vital that, ultimately, no shop ends up paying more in rates than before."
