Footfall drops to 73.5% in February
Helen Dickson, chief executive of the BRC said that shopping centres “continued to suffer the most due to their high proportion of ‘non-essential” retailing’, whereas retail parks ‘benefited from the presence of large essential retailers such as supermarkets and health stores’
The UK witnessed the second-largest drop in retail footfall since May 2020 last month, with figures falling 73.5%.
