Tell us: how could the high street be saved?

Another weekend of shopping has passed with another high profile chain announcing store closures.

Poundworld, which has entered administration, joins House of Fraser and Marks and Spencer in making announcements that have put jobs at risk and changed the face of many town and city retail centres.

We would like to find out what impact changes are having where you are – and what you think should be done about it. One writer recently said in the Guardian it isn’t just new shops we need but new ideas, including shared spaces that provoke community interaction. Do you have an idea that you think could work? Have you witnessed failing high street or community-led rejuvenation in your area?

Tell us your ideas and experiences

If you have an innovative potential solution, or have seen an idea work in a community near you, we’d like to hear about it. Share your views in our encrypted form, below, and we’ll publish a selection of the most interesting in the coming weeks.
