    On what? Just look at the failure of the Mary Portas spending (£1.2m of taxpayers' cash seeing an increase in empty shopping outlets https://www.theguardian.com/business/2013/may/29/high-streets-shrink-mary-portas).

    I can't think of one successful High Street in the country which is successful 'because' of council spending, they are usually successful with a mixture of demographics, urban environment, physical geography, zeitgeist and pure damn luck.

    'Shopping' and the experience of going shopping is a lot more than merely 'shops'.

    Oh I don't know. How about spending some money fixing the pavements and street lighting, enforcement officers stopping drunk and disordely behaviour rather than worring about the odd cigarette being dropped. How about free car parking, how about doing something about rents or stopping landlords converting retail into illegal dwellings, stopping fly tipping?
