Month on month town centre footfall in Cheshire towns
The performance and purpose of high streets and town centres, is now more than ever under the spotlight. The Council is committed to supporting the vitality and viability of town centres and high streets within its boundaries. To enable informed decision making, the Council has commissioned the collection of data on footfall and movement in 11 town centres. The data allows better understanding of how individual town centres are changing in turn enabling better decisions to be made on policies and initiatives impacting on town centres.
The data collected is entirely anonymised using real-time, geo-located datasets, to build a digital representation of human movement and behavioural patterns over time, without the need for physical infrastructure.
