'Local high streets are places where generations have shopped, socialised, and worked. Many of them are in decline, and to reverse this, they need to look beyond being simply a destination for shoppers.'
The report emphasises that local authorities, communities, and businesses must collaborate to create adaptable and resilient high streets that reflect local needs, avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach.
Implement a 'town centre first' policy to ensure that new public services like libraries and local government buildings are established on high streets to attract visitors.
Each local authority should appoint an active town centre manager to support high street development, share best practices and enhance accessibility through improved transport connectivity.
