Much has been made of the death of the high street, but some places are staging a comeback.

The government has announced this Spring a 拢1.6bn Stronger Towns Fund to help less well-off areas. Six hundred million pounds of that will be shared out to towns which can come up with credible plans to help their high street adapt to the rapidly changing retail environment.
