That meant that the year on year increase last week of 3.2% was more modest than the +4.8% year on year increase in the week before last.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the gap from 2019 of -13.2% last week was wider than in the week before last when it stood at -11.1%.<\/p>\n<p>Diane Wehrle, Insights Director at Springboard, commented: \u201cThe school half term last week delivered a welcome boost to UK retail destinations, with the largest increase in footfall from the week before since the Easter week in April 2022.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<strong>Customer activity increased in all three key destination types, however, high streets and shopping centres performed better than retail parks,<\/strong> both of which benefited from twice the uplift in retail parks.\u00a0Performance ramped up as the week progressed, with footfall peaking on Thursday and Friday.\u00a0By Saturday, trips had tailed off, and footfall fell marginally below the week before.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll parts of the UK benefited, although the South West and Northern Ireland were the star performers, both recording a double-digit rise in footfall. The most modest increase occurred in Scotland, where the half term took place a week earlier.<\/p>\n<p>Footfall rose across all types of town, but the largest rises occurred in coastal and historic towns and in large city centres across the UK which are attractive destinations for days out during the school holiday.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39,"featured_media":211886,"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":[10585,20825,20824,6,10494],"tags":[12159,9982,9981],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
