Shopping Queen Mary Portas was challenged by the Prime Minister to come up with a solution to resolve the decline and slow death of the High Street. Her solution? Treat them like small businesses and incentivise them accordingly.Did you take a look at Brixton Market Mary? It has already happened here. A mixture of pop-up stores, small cafes, artisan boutiques, take a look if you haven't been there for awhile you will be pleasantly surprised.

Looks a great place to shop. Mary P could learn a lot.
Here's a tip for Mary: make it beneficial to retain businesses and to rent space to small businesses. The chains have all but taken over many High Streets. They may be good for profit in the short run, but their homogenisation will eventually kill the High Street concept. Once they're all the same they lose any appeal.
It doesn't look very busy!
