Call You and Yours: How well does your high street work for you?
You and YoursAvailable for over a year
The closure of Wilko has put the spotlight back on our town centres - and is leaving huge holes in lots of them. According to the boss of John Lewis, there are already too many boarded up shops, vaping stores and charity shops on Britain's high streets - and it's got to the stage where a Royal Commission needs to investigate. The health of high streets varies across the country and we want to hear about the picture where you live. What do you use your high street for, and how is this changing? Perhaps yours works better than it used to - what are the success stories? If you work in a shop, we'd love to hear from you too. How well does your high street work for you? Email us at [email protected] and leave us a phone number where we can call you back - or call us on 03700 100 444 after 11am on Tuesday.
