Next year is looking bleaker than ever, Norwich s independent retailers have warned, with the final Saturday before Christmas not bringing in the sales many hoped for.
Although the city was busy with shoppers, small and family-run businesses said they saw little of the footfall - particularly in areas of the city already struggling to attract customers.
With the big day just around the corner Mark Hedge, manager of Cookes Band Instruments in St Benedicts Street, said sales have never been more difficult to come by.
