Good Growth Town, Rural and Coastal High Street Development and Skills Programme
High streets across the country are facing enormous challenges and, at local level, our high streets and rural and coastal retail areas once dominated by retail shops, are changing fast in response to changing shopping habits, new lifestyles and working patterns. The exit of large retail stores and anchor institutions is also having a significant impact on footfall. Underlying economic conditions, geographical remoteness and the seasonality of tourism all help to exacerbate the challenges in Cornwall and Isles of Scilly and this is leading to an increase in the number of empty shops and reduced foot fall in most of our towns, especially in those that are not in tourism “hot spots”.
