Another major nail in the high street coffin. We need to sort out a fair balance between high street and internet taxes otherwise we will lose the Centres of our Cities.
Cardiff is already starting to struggle with the number of homeless people on its streets. Start shutting down stores on a large scale and it’ll be finished.
Really sad. Iconic building.
Remember having breakfast with santa there 35 years ago.
No David Morgan or howells
I worry about what is driving footfall into the City Centre now, with most retail activity moving online. It's a real concern for those of us who value the Centres of our Towns and Cities. For Cardiff I guess food and drink will remain a focus. I'm pleased I don't own a property in the Centre though as I can see things deteriorating rapidly over the next few years with all the uncertainty over Brexit and the state of the economy.
I agree - it had already changed - but Brexit is choking investment right now as no-one is sure what is going to happen. The next 5 years at least are going to be a real shit period for the UK I believe. I just hope we are not too damaged when the final outcome is known.
Since we are getting political, I would just like to congratulate George Osborne and austerity Britain on another fine result. The fella desrverves a knighthood for all his hard work. It was very astute of him to realise that taking money out of people's pockets would have a huge impact on retail.
Nothing to do with the internet and Amazon and online shopping at all then.
Osborne obviously fecked up the USA at the same time as well.
