The other issue is that because of Internet shopping, we have lost many high-street shops across the country. Our town centres do not have the mix we would like. We have many vape shops, betting shops and coffeeshops, which are great at bringing footfall, but we would like a better mix, with bakers, butchers, newsagents, and men's and women's clothes shops. I am referring to the shops we had years ago, which resulted in footfall in town centres. How does REI envisage the Government helping to bring the footfall back?
