Footfall improved by a third in Oswestry in December
Oswestry town centre’s footfall increased by over 30 per cent in December compared with the previous month.
The Oswestry Business Improvement District used the latest data from their Oswestry Footfall System to discover the increase in visitors to the town.
"It’s really heartening to see such an increase on the high street," Adele Nightingale, BID Manager, said.
"In what has been another challenging year for businesses in handling changing Covid guidance, it’s an indication of the strength and resilience of Oswestry town centre, the quality of our businesses and the importance of events too."
"It’s also a great tribute to the amazing support shown by residents in shopping local – it is clearly making a huge difference."
Events in the town in December included Music Live, the Lights Switch On, Christmas Parade, Christmas Ice Rink, Christmas markets and shopping events too. There were also free car parking and bus travel.
