New Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ research shows that the way we're using the High Street is changing. Even before the pandemic, big chain stores were leaving town, more people were shopping online and new shops were popping up offering people an experience rather than just a thing to buy.
There are now 9,300 fewer retail shops in Britain than before the start of the pandemic in March 2020. That's a drop of three percent in two years. But services like hair and beauty, tattoo and piercing studios, places to eat and drink, fast food and takeaway shops have all seen a rise.
So what's changed where you live? Or how should it change? Tell us about your experience of shopping on your local high street.
Call us on 03700 100 44. Lines open at 11 am on Tuesday December 6th.
Or you can email youandyours@bbc.co.uk and don't forget to send us a phone number so we can call you back.
