So, recent threads got me thinking.
Why do we place so much emphasis on the high street as an indicator of a towns success?
Is it even important in the modern age of shopping?
Moving forward, as more and more shopping is done online .... why even bother with town centers?
Should a towns measure of success be something more like employment levels - people contributing to tax, etc ?
I mean, I get there is a lot of sentimentality towards the heyday of the high street, but rather than trying to recapture the past, should we not be looking towards the future?
Food for thought.
