HEALTHY HIGH STREET?
Healthy High Street? A healthcheck for high streets and town centres was published by the BIS Retail Unit in November 2010.
The guide is a simple to use healthcheck to alert retailers and others to early signs of potential decline in their High Street – and to do so in good time for them to take preventative action. It then offers some useful first steps, including advice on working together with others to rejuvenate the area.
