  • Regeneration NI Creating 21St Century Town and City Centres
    Regeneration NI Creating 21st Century Town and City Centres NEW THINKING FRESH LEADERSHIP AMBITIOUS INITIATIVES 1 The wholesale change needed to revitalise our town centres and give them a fighting chance of survival will only come, however, when there is an acceptance that the old order of things is crumbling before our eyes. We still rely on old models that are not fit for the 21st century and this is holding back change.” Grimsey Review, 2018 2 3 INTRODUCTION For nearly twenty years, Retail NI and its membership have been champions for our town centres and high streets, bringing forward new ideas and policy solutions to decision-makers at all levels of government. Our members are entrepreneurs who provide an important service to their local communities and believe in real and genuine partnerships with their local Councils. They champion strong, vibrant and diverse town centres, which are in themselves, centres of both retail and hospitality excellence. We have already successfully lobbied for the introduction of the Small Business Rate Relief Scheme, the Town Centre First Planning Policy, legislation for Business Improvement schemes, five hours for £1 off-street car parking discount and much more. The theme of this report is regeneration and how to create 21st century town and city centres. With the Local Government Elections in 2019, we believe it is time to update our policy priorities and introduce some new ideas. I look forward to engaging with members, stakeholders and political representatives across Northern Ireland in the months ahead, asking for their support to initiate the process of regenerating our high streets, regenerating our workforce, regenerating our infrastructure and regenerating our political structures.

They are a focal point for our culture, communities and everyday economies. They support the most sustainable models of living and working, including active travel and shorter commutes. And they are where new ideas, new ways of living, new businesses and new experiences are made. Our high streets and town centres face many challenges, but our research shows how much Londoners value them as places to meet, socialise, access services, shop, work and live.

  • Re-Imagining the High Street Escape from Clone Town Britain
    Re-imagining the high street Escape from Clone Town Britain The 2010 Clone Town Report nef is an independent think-and-do tank that inspires and demonstrates real economic well-being. We aim to improve quality of life by promoting innovative solutions that challenge mainstream thinking on economic, environmental and social issues. We work in partnership and put people and the planet first. A report from the Connected Economies Team nef (the new economics foundation) is a registered charity founded in 1986 by the leaders of The Other Economic Summit (TOES), which forced issues such as international debt onto the agenda of the G8 summit meetings. It has taken a lead in helping establish new coalitions and organisations such as the Jubilee 2000 debt campaign; the Ethical Trading Initiative; the UK Social Investment Forum; and new ways to measure social and economic well-being. Contents Foreword 2 Executive summary 3 Part 1: High street collapse? 6 Part 2: The clone town parade 2009 13 Part 3: Communities fighting back 27 Part 4: Re-imagining your local high street to support a low carbon, high well-being future 34 Recommendations 43 Appendix: Clone Town Survey 44 Endnotes 46 Foreword Why does it matter that our town centres increasingly all look the same? Is the spread of clone towns and the creeping homogenisation of the high street anything more than an aesthetic blight? We think so. Yes, distinctiveness and a sense of place matter to people. Without character in our urban centres, living history and visible proof that we can in some way shape and influence our living environment we become alienated in the very places that we should feel at home.

  • Scotland's Most Beautiful High Street
    Scotland’s Most Beautiful High Street 1. ALLOA Alloa’s High Street has been transformed over the past nine years, this has been driven by the Alloa Town Centre Business Improvement District, Clackmannanshire Council and funding from the Scottish Government. Part of the improvement was our Performance area, situated within our High Street. This area provides a fantastic central point for events and activities which are delivered on a regular basis by ATCBID. Our Town may be small, but our High Street is packed with an array of heritage, art and a wide variety of traders. In 2009, thanks to funding from Imagine Alloa, ATCBID organized the repairs on the High Street clock, which had lay non-functioning for numerous years. Unveiled in 1912, the handsome clock was part of the original Co-operative building in the town, and is seen by many as a marker of the town’s affluent past. The chimes from the clock were once again heard in 2009. Sculpture Andy Scott, whose work is found as far afield as Melbourne, Spain and Belfast also has sculptures in Alloa High Street, the Mirror Men. The Mirror men stand proudly at the top of our High Street, and are a great visible and talked about asset. The traders take a huge pride in the High Street, making sure their shops are welcoming to everyone who visits. Traders have also “adopted” the flower barrels supplied by ATCBID and attend to their daily watering. The hanging baskets and barrels are a welcoming floral enhancement to the Town by ATCBID, which the traders and public welcome.

(2014) Youth on Streets and Bob-a-Job Week: Urban geographies of masculinity, risk and constructions of home in post-war Britain, Environment and Planning A 46 (1): 112- 128. After World War Two, youth in Britain was constructed as unruly, troublesome and deviant, particularly in public urban space and streets. However, not all children and young people were discouraged from entering these environments or engaging with the general public. Drawing from literature published by the Boy Scout Association and a case study of Bob-a- Job Week in Britain launched in 1949, I examine the institutional geographies of responsibility, risk and reward embedded in this youth activity, orchestrated by the most popular youth organisation in Britain. This fundraising scheme involved Boy Scouts completing domestic tasks for householders and encouraged uniformed youth to be visible, proficient and useful. Significantly, this also took place in largely urban areas – complicating our understanding of scouting as an idealised ‘rural’ practice with camping as its central activity.

  • Papers the UK High Street: Current Issues and Their Implications
    Papers The UK high street: Current issues and their implications Received (in revised form): 14 October 2005 Dominic Allport is an associate at Gerald Eve, an independent firm of chartered surveyors and property consultants. He is head of retail and leisure research, and has considerable experience in strategic research analysis and consultancy. Abstract This paper assesses how and to what extent ten key issues currently affecting the UK high street constitute a threat or risk to its ongoing viability as a trading location. The implications of these factors for retail businesses are also drawn out and discussed. Keywords: high street, town centres, key issues, key costs THE CHANGING LANDSCAPE OF UK RETAILING The continuing The UK retail landscape has undergone fundamental change over importance of the the course of the last 30 years. Not only has there been a high street considerable shift in the balance of power between retailer and manufacturer, but, just as critically, a much more complex and increasingly polarised set of trading locations and formats have evolved.1 Both have been brought about by ongoing changes in consumer demand as well as retailers’ continuing drive for improved economies of scale and scope, resulting in a strong degree of industry consolidation and a widening gap between the few retailers currently enjoying strong growth and the remainder. This divergence between the best and the rest is also seen in terms of retail locations, with successful retail centres pulling away from their weaker, more secondary rivals. The proliferation of trading locations and formats has meant that the UK high street has seen some of its historic importance erode away, with other distribution channels gaining in significance, be they out-of-town retail space or virtual retail space (such as the internet).
