New Burnham footfall figures show number of shoppers has risen back to 2019 levels
New footfall figures show the number of people visiting Burnham-On-Sea town centre has recovered to pre-pandemic levels for the first time.
The number of people visiting Burnham High Street plummeted when the pandemic started in March 2020 and since then the number of shoppers has dipped up and down as restrictions have changed. However, the latest data shows the number of visitors has risen to 2019 levels.
Data from the two footfall cameras in Burnham High Street here for the week of May 31st-June 6th shows 58,202 people visited during what was a sunny, half-term school holiday week. That compares to 46,027 people in the same week during 2019.
