It said footfall last week was 21.8% lower than the same week in 2019, before the pandemic impacted traffic.
Springboard said the week-on-week decline in footfall was driven by a drop of 10.9% in high streets and 4.4% in shopping centres. It rose 2.9% in retail parks.
“With employees continuing to work from home the drop in footfall in Central London and in other city centres around the UK was far greater than in more local high streets,” said Springboard director Diane Wehrle.
