Quotes

She added: "I fear for the future. I think we will see a real polarisation, with some town centres that have got councils who will fight to develop new ideas showing some improvement. But at the other end of the scale, in larger centres that are already quite devastated we will begin to see real decay."
"When I arrived at Ryman the first store we shut down was Canary Wharf" he told The Wharf when he launched the new store last week
Nick Hood of Company Watch, the corporate health specialists, said: "If you’re looking at the majors, my prediction would be 60 for the year as a whole, which would make this the worst year just in terms of numbers of companies since the start of the recession."
..."In thriving towns such as Stratford-upon-Avon, where a Jessops closes, a trendy new perfume shop opens," he says. "I see this as a catalyst of growth for some high streets not all but you need to think carefully what shops stand a chance of survival."
