Comment | That's interesting - I wonder what the long-term trend is like? (i.e. I'm wondering if the High Streets rallied after being laid particularly low during Covid)
I suppose I'm looking at my own experience more than anything. I used to visit Waterstones in Sauchiehall St quite regularly, it was usually possible to get parked a couple of streets away, and free on Sundays.
Now I end up at the Fort instead, mainly because of parking and traffic issues. I'm probably atypical in that I'm usually on-call and need to keep a large vehicle on-hand for that. Even when I'm not, limited time means I don't want to deal with the hassle of the town. When I'm there for non-work purposes it's usually a dedicated trip (i.e. an afternoon and evening out with a meal somewhere). Shorter shopping trips are all elsewhere unfortunately. |
