RecentNews.uk

Thinktank Create Streets argues removing street clutter and restricting cars can cheaply revive UK high centres.

The study highlights Altrincham as a success story where pedestrianisation reduced retail vacancies from 30% to 7%.

Researchers recommend removing pedestrian guardrails and planting trees directly into the ground rather than using plastic pots.
