Traders in Cardiff city centre have reacted to a "devastating" time for retail, as the capital misses out on nearly a year's worth of sales due to the pandemic.
A new study has found that Cardiff is in the top ten cities to have lost the most potential sales from city and town centre businesses since covid forced them to close.
The study, by Cities Outlook 2022 – Centre for Cities’ annual economic assessment of the UK’s largest urban areas - found that Covid-19 has cost businesses in city and large town centres more than a third (35%) of their potential takings and shut down thousands since March 2020.
