Acting today for tomorrow
You are warmly invited to join us for Festive Green Drinks at The Boat Inn, Chepstow at 19:30 on Tuesday 3rd December 2024. It will be an opportunity to meet up and catch up on what has happened over the past year, and make some plans for the coming year.
This report from Living Streets could be very helpful for our High Street in Chepstow.
There are some interesting and unexpected findings in it which could be valuable for Chepstow High Street traders, Councillors and citizens.
‘Pedestrians spend more money than people arriving by car, and pedestrianised town centres have higher sales.’
‘When high streets are walkable and vibrant, they benefit from increased footfall, increased time spent, and increased money exchanged.’
‘Weekend pedestrianisation of town centre streets in Shrewsbury led to 25% more sales.’
You can see the whole report and a summary here:
