Whilst figures released in Springboard’s monthly report suggest that the High Street is making a slow comeback with footfall on the rise by 0.1% in February, Retail parks and shopping centres have been hit hard. Retail parks saw a year-on-year drop in footfall of 1.6%, signalling an even faster decline than the 0.4% drop in January. Shopping centres faced similar problems, with footfall down from 0.6% in February 2016, to 2.6% this year.
