Year-on-year (YoY) UK footfall fell by 65.4 per cent in November, with a 31.9 percentage point decline from October, according to the British Retail Consortium (BRC), which recently said this remains below the longer-term 12-month average decline of 38.5 per cent. Footfall declined by 63.9 per cent YoY on high streets and by 26.8 per cent YoY in retail parks.

Shopping centre footfall declined by 61.8 per cent YoY—just over a 24 percentage point decline compared to October and was below the 12-month average decline of 42.4 per cent, according to a BRC press release.

Northern Ireland saw the shallowest shopping centre footfall decline (21 per cent) of all regions for the sixth consecutive month, followed by Scotland (38.9 per cent). Wales saw a decline of 45.6 per cent.

In England, non-essential shops and other businesses were permitted to reopen on December 2 for the first time in four weeks. On this day, footfall increased by 150 per cent compared with the previous week, and decreased by 26 per cent on the previous year.
