Retail analysts Springboard identified that Lockdown 3 (6 January-12 April) had a “dramatic effect” on footfall across all destination types overall

Footfall across all UK retail destinations was –31.1% lower than in 2019, but up from -39.1% in 2020, with retail parks continuing to display a “notable resilience” than either high streets or shopping centres in retaining footfall, according to Springboard’s 2021 report.
