Most of the UK’s high streets are failing the millions who use them every day by lacking even the most basic amenities for health such as spaces to socialise and shops selling nutritious food, according to a report.
Some 87% of people surveyed for the Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH) say their high street does not have enough of at least one of the essential amenities needed for healthy living, including green space to rest or exercise, socialising spaces such as cafes or pubs, infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists, good transport links or even safe and clean areas.
