Welsh retail footfall saw an uplift thanks to summer holiday shoppers but was still well below pre-pandemic levels. That was according to new research from the Welsh Retail Consortium.
Figures from last month show that Welsh footfall decreased by 13.1%, compared to a year-on-three-year (Yo3Y) comparison of August 2019. This was 2.7 percentage points better than July but worse that the UK average decline of 12.4% Yo3Y.
Of the nations and regions of the UK, the decline was only greater in North East England, which recorded a decline of minus 13.3%, and Scotland, recording a decrease in footfall of minus 14.8%.
