Recommendation
We recommend that place partnerships and, where possible, businesses, should continually review whether store opening hours are meeting people’s needs and generating maximum custom as consumers settle into life after the pandemic. We recommend that places that cannot invest in footfall counting technology make use of the High Streets Task Force manual footfall counting programme to help assess opening hours.

We agree that places without access to footfall data would benefit from the High Streets Task Force’s manual footfall counting programme. Places can request a footfall dashboard on the Task Force’s website, which gives them access to estimated footfall data that can be calibrated with manual counts. This can be accessed at https://www.highstreetstaskforce.org.uk/support-directory/ footfall-dashboards/ This is part of the Task Force’s wider online offer open to all places, which also includes webinars, training modules and a resource library.
