by | Sep 6, 2018 | News

We are delighted to announce that footfall in the town centre was 26% up on the year before over the Air Festival, with the Saturday of the Air Festival the second busiest day of the year so far (the busiest was Bourne Free).

This comes at the end of a lovely long, hot summer, which has seen footfall up overall in the town centre by 17%, despite some challenges for Commercial Road since the closure of Marks and Spencer.

We’ve had mixed reports of trade – some businesses are telling us they’ve had a bumper summer, with others feeling it has been less busy than previous years. We’d love to hear how you have got on – get in touch for a chat on 01202 296343 or drop us a line on info@towncentrebid.co.uk.
