    Out of town retailing was always going to kill the high street shopping experience. Why a local data company, or any data company is required to tell us that is beyond me. It's so obviously the case.

    Saving town centres is a waste of time as they are no longer economically viable for most of the types of business frequenting them. High business rates are just one dagger in the back of the high street traders, as are a diminished foot-fall and online shopping.

    The towns that will survive this sea-change in the dynamics of retailing will be those that find an alternative use for their town centres/high streets. Migrating them to domestic accommodation and/or liesure outlets may be one way to achieve this.

    Hanging on to past glories will never be the answer.
