MNI BRIEF: UK Jun Retail Footfall Broadly Unchanged From May

LONDON (MNI)

UK retail footfall ticked up only marginally in June as covid-rules were little changed on the previous, the BRC said Friday, with the BRC-Shoppertrak footfall monitor falling by 27.6% in June compared to June 2020 (Y/2Y), but up just 0.1pp from May. However, "footfall is down on pre-pandemic levels, as the public are making more purposeful shopping trips, with less browsing and more buying," said Helen Dickinson OBE, Chief-Executive of BRC.

"Retailers are hopeful that footfall will recover further with the move to the final stage of the roadmap, particularly as office workers begin to return to work in larger cities," Dickinson added. London saw the largest decline in footfall in June, falling by 38.5%, as commuter business remained subdued during the pandemic.
