Uttlesford s shops and visitor attractions are still suffering from low footfall despite lockdown easing, data suggests.
According to figures from Google, footfall at the district s retail and recreation destinations between Saturday, May 1 and last Friday (May 7) was down 29 percent compared to the pre-pandemic baseline between January 3 and February 6, 2020.
But this is a significant improvement from the first week of lockdown this year (January 4-10), when visitor numbers were 63 percent lower than the pre-pandemic baseline.
Rachel Clarke, from Great Dunmow Town Team, said this is likely an accurate picture of where retail stands in Uttlesford this year.
