Description: 21,000 stores are predicted to disappear this year. If new support isn’t made available our streets will disappear. #SAVETHESTREET is a nationwide call to action.
1 in 3 British brands are predicted to disappear this year. This is a nationwide call to action. New support is needed to #SaveTheStreet. A call to action Our open letter to the UK Government. We didn’t know how much we relied on our high street – until we didn’t have one. Lockdowns made us realise how much we need our local high streets, independent stores and the people behind them. They are not just places to simply transact in but places to create community and feel human connection.
Now they need us.
Our streets are under threat. Repeated lockdowns, with limited support, have brought independent retailers to their knees. Behind these stores are entrepreneurs whose dreams are at stake, alongside the livelihoods that depend on them.
