Norwich shoppers have not hit the high street with as much gusto as their counterparts in more deprived areas, new data has revealed.
The Centre for Cities has published its latest figures on spending and footfall across towns and cities in the UK, with Norwich posting a spending index of 95.
This is down from an initial boost in mid-April when Norwich posted index readings of 103 - around the same levels seen during Eat Out to Help Out last summer - before beginning to drop off.

Plans for a multi-million pound, 91-bed landmark hotel in Norwich city centre have been submitted.
The planning application for the hotel, in Chamberlain House in Guildhall Hill - above and behind Tesco Metro - has been formally lodged with Norwich City Council.
If councillors grant approval, then the plans for the Victorian building would see empty offices above Tesco turned into hotel rooms, with an extension where the superstore s loading yard is.
The Tesco store would remain, as would shops in neighbouring Dove Street, while new retail units would be created at the back.
