    Covid-19 advice prompts dramatic footfall decline

    According to the latest figures from footfall analysts Springboard, UK footfall has fallen dramatically over the last week as Government advice calls for people to avoid people-dense locations such as pubs and restaurants.

    Footfall has now been in decline for eleven consecutive days both week-on-week and year-on-year, a trend which as likely to continues as many retailers, including Apple, Disney Store, and Urban Outfitters, and leisure operators, including Cineworld, Vue and Odeon, are closing down stores in line with Government health advice.

    Retail footfall dropped -14.8 per cent on Tuesday compared to the same day the previous week.
