How to Help Footfall in Town?

A business on Strand Street has asked what can be done to help footfall in the island’s capital.

Terry’s Tato’s has reached out to the public after a “dramatically decreased” footfall in Douglas over the last six months.

It says that the footfall reduction has resulted in businesses in town “really struggling, with some even closing their doors”.

The business wants to know what it can do to encourage people to come and visit the high street.

It says: “We need to understand as much as we can is there something else we can do?”
