Footfall to non-food retail stores picked up in March with a rise of 1.4% being much better than the fall of 6% a year ago. But this year’s rise didn’t come anywhere close to making up for the previous year’s decline. And given that March 2018 had been dented by heavy snow that kept shoppers at home, while recent weeks have seen milder weather, the March 2019 performance wasn’t very encouraging.Specialist tracking firm Springboard said the three-month average is for a decline of 0.3%, a bit better than the six-month and 12-month average drops of 1.4%.

Once again though, shopping centres were the weakest location. Springboard said that high street footfall actually managed to rise 2.5% (again though, not making up for March 2018’s 8.6% drop)คำพูดจาก
