	Easter footfall drops year-on-year

	Retail Week reports that according to data from Springboard, footfall across the Easter weekend fell by double digits year on year. The data reveals an 11% fall in shoppers visiting the high street on Easter Sunday and more than an 8% decrease on Good Friday. The sharpest decline was across shopping centres where footfall slumped 11.3% on Good Friday and 10.4% on Sunday. However, Bank Holiday Monday (April 21) posted better results with high street visits up 10.2% and footfall at retail parks up nearly 23% year on year.

Footfall on Oxford Street, Bond Street and Regent Street had jumped 4% on last March against a national average of 1.8%
