    We can have all the vision in the world, but no council cannot force retailers to make the choice to come to their area.

    Retailers choose an area based on a huge range of metrics, including demographics, predominate socio-economic groupings, existing footfall, existing retail options, accessibility etc.

    What councils can do is make their town centres attractive by improving the street scene, making it accessible (travel & parking), facilitate attractions/events to pull people in etc. which DDC/DTC are slowly doing. What they cannot do is alter the wider move to on-line shopping, the desire to have a wide range of food choices delivered to your door etc.
