About this Petition

Shopping was the historic soul of our city centres, with brands accounting for 90% of foot traffic. Today, they no longer hold that sway, and our city centres are dying because online shopping has a much better value proposition.

But as the world changes, opportunities are emerging to bring more recreational use cases into city centres, offering communities alternative and hybrid digital experiences.

The council should commission research into this and support businesses with such a mission.

Action Requested
