Rain dampens high street recovery as footfall drops 4.1 per cent
Wind and rain persuaded shoppers to stay inside last week.
Footfall in UK retail destinations fell 4.1 per cent last week from the week before, as wind and rain persuaded shoppers to stay home for another week.
The number of high street shoppers fell 6.6 per cent last week, according to the latest data from retail insight company Springboard, while footfall in shopping centres and retail parks fell 1.5 and 1.3 per cent respectively.
The reduction in people out and about was widespread across the UK, spanning all areas but Northern Ireland, where footfall rose 21.1 per cent, reflecting the impact of the reopening of retail on Friday 30 April.
