Unsurprisingly, the compulsory closure of hospitality outlets at 10pm from Thursday onward led a huge drop in footfall in high streets after 11pm.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite the impact on footfall of the increased government restrictions from Thursday, there was little impact on the annual result, as footfall actually rose marginally over the three days from Sunday to Tuesday, possibly due to<strong> consumers making trips in advance of further restrictions,<\/strong> which helped to offset the drops later in the week.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39,"featured_media":140317,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16042,10585,6,10494],"tags":[12159,9982,9981],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
