Start of the decline of the British high street.

[@rob-123]

Before Covid the government spent a fortune doing an independent review of why high street fail. After a massive review over the whole country which was very costly. It was stated Councils relentless use to restrict good road networks around town area's and inforce tight parking with high charges has lead to new generations to just not even attemp to ever use their local high streets. Basicly over the years your Councils greedy ways has done it.
