HIGH STREET SALES TRACKER
After a reasonable start to the year, March saw sales slump dramatically across all categories. Only inOctober has year-on- year growth on the high street returned, although homewares demonstrated an earlier recovery and non-store sales have proved buoyant throughout. November will see another fall in store sales, as lockdown two restrictions kicked in and retailers will be hoping that COVID-19 cases have fallen sufficiently by December to allow them to re-open for this crucial period.
