The point is made down the thread that the dominance of retail is relatively recent in terms of the history of our high streets. Of course we need successful retail, but concentrating on a mode of transport that only allows on average most two customers at a time (the average shop frontage divided by the parking length of a car) literally cannot deliver on this score. More entertainment, community space combined and a less polluted and safer environment from more active transport are going to drive positive change. And that’s precisely what created our high streets in the first place. |
