Footfall across UK high streets and shopping destinations has sagged despite the latest easing of lockdown restrictions.
Early figures from research specialists Springboard have shown that high street footfall fell by 1.6% by 5pm on Monday, against the same period a week ago, as poor weather kept many people at home.
Hospitality venues have reopened indoor areas for the first time in almost five months, while cinemas, museums and other leisure venues have also welcomed customers in again.
The latest figures showed that total footfall across all retail hotspots, including retail parks and shopping centres, was down 3%.
