He begins by explaining the UK's regional income disparities. As you can see, London leads the rest of the UK. Image

New data added to our #GreaterManchester Recovery Tracker reveals tighter #COVID19 restrictions didn't lead to large falls in footfall in September 👣

centreforcities.org/blog/how-are-l…
By the end of September, #Manchester city centre still lagged behind other local centres🐝

It had recovered only 51% of its pre-lockdown levels of activity, which corresponds to a two-percentage point increase compared to last month 🛍️🍽️
Looking at other town centres in Greater Manchester, #Wigan ranks first, having recovered 103% of footfall, followed by #AshtonunderLyne (79%) and #Bury (79%). Image

Less than a fifth of workers are back in offices 🚉💼🏙️

@ValentineQuinio analysed the latest worker footfall data 👣 added to our #HighStreets Recovery Tracker last week.

Here are the key takeaways 👇

Averaged across all 63 largest city and town centres in the UK, by the end of September worker footfall was at 1⃣9⃣% of pre-lockdown levels, which only represents a 2⃣-percentage point increase compared to a month ago.

But this hides significant geographic differences across the country, with large cities like #London, #Manchester and #Birmingham once again lagging behind smaller places like #Basildon or #Mansfield. Image
