other, stronger centres - Town’s attractiveness is
weakened by vacancy

Organisation Offer
- 13% of footfall lost through lack of organisational
control- Lack of reliable footfall
profile. Is Holmfirth providing an appropriate
offer? (Comparison, Convenience or
Speciality?)

MacroAverage monthly footfall in 2020Economy Internet
shopping
Smaller, comparison shopping towns more at risk. Retail parks and Internet taking more footfall.
Why measure footfall? Represents how important
you are to your catchment – not just retail
Tells you what type of town
you are
Tells you if initiatives are
working Helps town and stakeholders
adapt to changing conditions
What type of town are you?
1. Comparison Shopping Town
A strong retail offer.
Comparison Shopping towns Wide range of retail choice Strong retail anchor(s) Large catchment area Accessible by choice of
means of transport Organise themselves to
compete with other comparison towns and channels
What type of town are you?
2. Speciality town
A unique offer, including retail, events, heritage, etc.
Speciality towns Offer something unique and
special Anchor(s) not retail Attract visitors but serve
local population Have longer dwell time Organise themselves to
protect and promote identity and positioning
What type of town are you?
3. Convenience/Community town
A convenient location for a mix of retail, services and other benefits.
Convenience/community town Focused on local community
– offer, opening times, events etc
Convenience anchor – work, public transport, food shopping, markets
Offers convenient mix of goods and services
Accessible and locally connected
Convenience/community town Organise themselves to
manage accessibility, concentration, reliability, and customer service…… and identify additions to augment offer (click & collect etc)
and Holmfirth? A Speciality town?
More reliable footfall profile needed to confirm
Questions
1. What makes Holmfirth special?
2. How will Holmfirth address the 25 HSUK2020 priorities?
