Welsh retail sees low footfall in run up to Christmas as WRC calls for business rates freeze

Worrying retail footfall figures in Wales have prompted further calls for the Welsh Government to prioritise the sector in the upcoming Welsh budget.

According to the Welsh Retail Consortium, retail footfall failed to pick up in November following a huge drop in numbers on previous months.

Figures from last month show that Welsh footfall decreased by 16.2% in November, compared to a year-on-three-year comparison of November 2019. This was 0.1 percentage points worse than October and worse than the UK average decline of 13.3% Yo3Y.
