GRIMSEY REVIEW 2: How to fix the high street

The high street has never been in more desperate need of help. With almost 11 million sq ft of retail space lost this year due the closures of stores, and thousands of jobs lost so dfar this year – EG asks what exactly needs to be done.

EG Editor Damian Wild talks to Bill Grimsey, ex-CEO of Wickes and leader of the report, Jackie Sadek, COO of Regeneration UK Ltd, and James Child, Retail Analyst at EG about what the key takeaways from the review are, what local authorities should be doing to kick-start regeneration and what the future of the UK’s high streets will look like without the help they need.
