  • Ensuring a Thriving Retail Economy in Chiswick Report
    1 LONDON'S RETAIL SECTOR: KEEPING LONDON'S HIGH STREETS OPEN Comments made by speakers at the London Assembly's Economy Committee meeting on 14th January 2020 1 “They [high streets] are an ever-changing, ever-movable, resource that is incredibly important, can’t be overlooked, require constant work from local authorities and from the mayoral administration to make sure we are doing all that we can to support their function which is vitally important.…Localised strategies that are really responsive to as well defined areas as you can possibly get are the best way to address some of the local issues that these places are facing.” Patrick Dubeck Head of Regeneration. Greater London Authority (GLA) “What we are seeing, because of the rise of online, changing shopping habits, increased use of technology generally, is a reversion to a much more mixed use high street and I think that is actually the direction we do need to be going in in terms of a greater range of uses for things like leisure activities, public services being located there and also housing in increasing density on some high streets…Do we introduce policies or implement policies that support that or do we in my view carry on with policies that hinder that and actually exaggerate some of the problems we are seeing on the high street?” Dominic Curran British Retail Consortium “On the average high street, 95 per cent of businesses are going to be small businesses – micro-businesses, self- employed individuals – and they are very much a part of the local economy, they are the vibrancy, they provide the local jobs, they provide security to a lot of people within those areas and it brings that kind of community feel." Matthew Jaffa Federation of Small Businesses “What we have is an ecology on the high street and it’s grown up in a certain way which makes it work in some cases and not work in other cases.
