Will Consumers Return to the Town Centre? Insights from Castlepoint Retail in 2003

This analysis discusses the challenges faced by the Town Centre in Bournemouth, particularly after the closure of Castlepoint retail parks. With major retailers such as Marks & Spencer and Sainsbury's shutting their doors, the study examines the consumer shift away from traditional shopping areas. By exploring parking data, visitor counts, and sales metrics, it highlights the impact of expanding retail parks, the competition from nearby centres, and the potential future for urban shopping after significant closures.
