There have been some notable shop closures
A Nottingham economy expert says that 'difficult questions' are raised by new figures showing dramatic changes on its high streets. Analysis of Ordnance Survey data by the BBC has shown that whilst Nottingham's banks and fish and chip shops have decreased since before the pandemic, the number of beauty salons and tattoo studios has gone up.
"Cities are now becoming much more geared towards services that you actually have to be there in person to use. Those are things like beauty salons and tattoo studios and, in future, cities are going to become much more about the experience of going there."Traditional retail will still have some role to play, but the mix is really going to change. But this does raise some difficult questions for our politicians around how we are going to sustain our cities.
The Ordnance Survey data shows that, overall, there were 9,300 fewer retail outlets in March 2022 than March 2020. Across the country, department stores and clothes shops were among the most common premises to have closed.
