_v 15 December 2003 (3)
520 _aThe continuing closure of high street businesses across the UK is threatening local economies according to a recent study by the New Economics Foundation updating its 2002 'ghost town' campaign. It details the loss of banks, wholesalers to local trade, pubs and specialist food stores. It reports on the positive role of ethnic minorities in the retail sector, the community ownership of retail assets and concludes that a communities' sustainability bill is vital for safeguarding neighbourhoods. "Ghost town Britain II: death on the high street" is available at http://www.neweconomics.org/gen/z_sys_publicationd etail.aspx?pid=168. http://www.neweconomics.org/gen/news_GTBII.aspx
