Shoppers concerned for high street with many empty units

Shoppers say the situation is 'worrying'

Shoppers in Arnold have called empty units on the high street “worrying” - and predicted further store closures in the area. Residents are concerned more businesses will no longer be able to cope as the cost of living crisis drags on.

Tina Graham, 57, a sales assistant from Arnold, said: “It’s not a good time, not just for independent businesses but businesses in general.“I was gutted when I heard about the Blue Circle fish and chip shop that has been there for years, and for older people, the banks closing aren't ideal.

Lillian Anderson, 71, is from Arnold. Now retired, she said: “High streets everywhere are dying. It doesn’t matter what area it is, people aren’t coping with the cost of living and rents which is understandable.
