Oxfordshire s empty high streets to be filled with pop up shops

Cornmarket Street during lockdown.23/01/2021.. POP up shops might be used to fill vacant buildings on high streets across Oxfordshire thanks to a £1.875 million grant from a group that backs businesses in the county. The project could see as many as 100 shops in town centres or the middle of Oxford brought into temporary use with start-up restaurants and retailers taking over them, under what is known as ‘meanwhile’ use. The project, dubbed ‘Meanwhile in Oxfordshire’ because of the aim to get businesses into empty shops while a more long-term solution is worked out, is part of a wider £8.4m being spent by the Oxfordshire Local Enterprise Partnership aimed at reviving the economy after Covid.
