Alternative #highstreet uses…?

There’s much conversation when we get to the 3rd – ‘encourage’ – phase of our approach to tackling empty shops issues, about the different types of businesses and organisations we might try attract as a place to fill vacant units.

My summary list typically features: arts & crafts, culture, creative, community, leisure, education, health & wellbeing to go alongside the more traditional #retail, #hospitality & services. Yours may add others…?

So thought it’d be interesting to focus my just-visiting out & about in Bicester and Banbury on some examples.

It’d be great to hear others from #property and #placemaking colleagues…!
