Highlights
For the fifth consecutive year, town centre will be the weakest performing retail channel, with sales falling by 1.4% in 2012 as the economy remains weak, and online and out-of-town continues to takes sales.
Big ticket discretionary sectors, such as DIY, electricals and furniture & floorcoverings, continue to struggle on the high street as customers remain cautious and spend migrates to out-of-town and online. The larger out of town stores can offer deeper ranges while online offers greater convenience.
The role of the town centre is set to evolve into more of a community hub. A greater proportion of vacant units will be converted into leisure space and for community use with secondary locations being used more for residential properties. The town centre will support the e-retail channel more with click and collect points and drop boxes.
