New figures have shown that the recovery in UK retail footfall slowed last week when the RMT Union held its rail strikes.
The figures from the British Retail Consortium reveal that footfall was down 3.9% compared with the average of the previous four weeks.
Thursday was found to be the worst performing day, with a 13.7% drop, followed by Tuesday at -9.4%. Looking at the different destinations, high streets put in the weakest performance with a 3.3% decline.
Meanwhile footfall in London fell by 1.4% across the week as whole, but dropped by 7.4% on Tuesday when people were impacted by both both rail and tube strikes.
