    We need to move away from the ‘high street full of shops’ mentality. Those days are long over. We need high streets to be community-driven spaces, with housing intermixed with social support spaces, playgrounds, libraries and community gathering places for arts and such.

    My high street has gone to complete shite.. I think it’s a direct result of not being able to make decent money from running a small business anymore… So instead the only shops opening are cash in hand businesses with little to no footfall.. Basically all fast food, vape shops and barbers…

    It’s difficult to regenerate the high street as it has sort of become a hangout for degenerates and antisocial behaviour… Also people have less disposable income… Inflation has made the cost of everything so high.

    People are also lazy, and can get everything delivered to the door now… Which has not helped

    Money will get spaffed up a wall. A few contractors will get rich because the people in charge of spending the money have no clue what they are doing. In 5 years no one will see any benefit from this so-called investment.

    People are surrounded by people they have nothing in common with. That is why local communities are dying. Throwing money around will not change it.

    We need to scrap all of these little schemes, extra funding statements.
    Have a year of radically going back to basics. Like if you were in serious debt, you’d cut right back and then slowly rebuild.

    typical Government, investing public money in spaces people are not. Simply because that place is some rose tinted hit of nostalgia, and a picture of a Britian that they understand and think will work in 2026 simply becuase it used to 50 years ago.

    No good is oil is almost $200 per barrel and business rates are sky high. A waste of money.

    I geniunely don’t think there’s a stronger disconnect between this site and wider public than when it comes to local high-streets.

    The utter incomprehension why anyone would venture into the high-street when you could order things online, no doubt saving you a couple hours for gaming or streaming I’ll be told, reeks of the terminally online.
