Here's an interesting story of how to revive local #retail; a programme of two year rent-free shops for new businesses (wth added support & mentoring);

all it takes is a landlord with a clear(er) idea about long-term returns... and to be clear, as the story notes, they have already reaped significant wider rewards across their property holding nearby.

this might not work everywhere, but equally there are lessons for commercial landlords far from #Poole.
