Transcript

00:00there is no more high street all the shops are closing so where is the economy where is the

00:05growth growth where are my toenails definitely be good to have more um independent shops and

00:12things like that like especially in the trinity center i know there's a lot of kind of chain

00:16shops which is good but also i think having independent shops would be really good as well

00:21and i know there's a lot more in headingly and stuff i think if you put them in the city center

00:25where people go more often and things and make it easier for those people who are owning small

00:31businesses to afford the rent in the city center then i think that would be a really good move

00:35people can put their car while they will go to the shopping centers without any cost and or with

00:43less less price like one pound or less than one pound or two pounds i think the best shops are not

00:51just concerned about selling their goods but also creating an experience

00:54so maybe the whole thing will be a bit more experiential and customer focused in a few years time
