Lincoln High Street has experienced a decline in the number of people visiting due to multiple shop closures, echoing a national trend seen across the UK. Nevertheless, the impact on Lincoln has not been as harsh as in other towns where high street businesses have been notably affected. To combat this, local businesses are rethinking their strategies, with a significant number turning their attention to strengthening online sales and community engagement in a bid to attract customers back.
Locals have presented a mixed reaction towards this change. Some residents are enjoying the quieter atmosphere, whereas others are troubled with the dwindling retail diversity. As Christmas draws near, local business owners remain hopeful that the season’s festive events could inject life back into the area by attracting more visitors.
