We had a brilliant evening in #Malmesbury last night, with more than 30 business people and councillors coming along to "Unpacking Your Place: What Comes Next?", a follow-up to our September action planning workshop.

Local businesses are going to set up their own business network, with Town Council support.

The town already has a strong offer and loads happening, but until now has lacked a forum where all businesses can come together and support and learn from each other. As ever, collaboration is key to #highstreet success! 🔥

A fixture on British #highstreets for nearly 100 years, #Woolworths closed its last stores on 6 January 2009.

For 15 years, Graham Soult at CannyInsights.com has tracked what all of those locations have become. Through the lens of Woolworths, #Woolies15 is a snapshot of the changing high street.

I'm surprised it hasn't been more heralded - as it

I'm surprised it hasn't been more heralded - as it's really quite a big deal - but a sizable new Heals showroom has opened on the second floor of Fenwick in #Newcastle today. As far as I'm aware, it's the first time Heal's has ever traded in the North East.

As you'd expect, there are a few things you can take away on the day - such as lighting - but many of the furniture items are made to order. The spacious and elegant interior offers plenty of inspiration!

I love how the second-floor windows facing Northumberland Street have been uncovered for the first time in years as part of the Heal's fit-out - not just bringing light and views, but creating some cool warehouse-style roomset opportunities too.

Thanks to the friendly Heal's team for willingly letting me take some photos to share, and to Sue Hunt's (Resolve Retail) tweets for tipping me off about the opening. Hopefully word will soon get around, and Heal's in Newcastle will be a great and lasting success! Graham 👏👏👏

Great, as always, to chat to Clive Bull on LBC this morning (Saturday 13 February) about #Stockton's ambitious high-street plans - as featured in Olly Wainwright's Guardian piece this week - including what it means for Stockton, and what other places can learn.

Listen to the full discussion from 02:04:39 - the broadcast is available on Global Player for the next six days.

Time for a hearty lunch at Lou's at St Cuthbert's Walk in Chester-le-Street, which has had a fantastic post-lockdown refurb since we were last here. Superb customer service too, with a friendly greeter, efficient check-in process, and then full table service 👏 #ChesterleStreet #CLSIsOpen #cafe #lunch

Enjoying delicious homemade #dumplings at Miss Elephant in #ChesterleStreet 😍. This plate is a #veggie-friendly mix of the cabbage and cheese, and spinach and mushroom varieties - topped with onlon, but without the bacon option, obviously! #pierogi #food #instafood #lunch

With no-one else but us on the beach, it was too tempting not to turn it briefly into a #cannybeach. Don't worry - all trace was removed before leaving again, though the tide would have soon erased it anyway! #coll #isleofcoll #scotland

"#Retail will be increasingly about those independent, distinctive, local businesses that really are rooted in their communities and give something back to their communities." Thank you to Alex and Naomi from Artifact Media for filming me in Chester-le-Street this week. Through video, they will be telling the story of a town that is navigating and emerging from lockdown - showcasing local businesses, and providing lots of positive, shareable content 🎥
