The positive impact of ‘pulling together’ can benefit everyone – not just the traders themselves.  Often Landlords, Local Authorities or other ‘authorities’ would like to offer support or help, but where there is no central point of contact for the high street area or town centre, it can be hard to get off the first base.

What have we been doing?

Over the past 18 months or so we have worked in over 10 locations across England to connect with high street businesses and help facilitate the formation of a new Group, or re-launch one that has lapsed or needed an injection of support.  These projects have been backed by funding partners, who are committed to supporting their high streets.

Where?

Our Groups have been based in various locations, including:

• Ware, Baldock and Hemel Old Town in Hertfordshire
• Penistone, Hoyland, Goldthorpe, Cudworth and Royston in Yorkshire
• Coalville in Leicestershire.

We’ve also provided a longer term initiative for creating and launching a Town Centre Partnership in Dudley in the West Midlands.

What’s been achieved?

First and foremost we’ve kick started conversations between traders.  Although some areas are well-connected, there are examples of people running businesses in the same high street for 15 years or so, having never previously spoken to their fellow traders!  Building a database of local high street businesses, complete with contact details is part of our successful model.

We’ve then identified ‘hot topics’ and local issues with a view to moving towards a plan for improvements.  In many cases we’ve positively ‘unblocked’ the problems through direct intervention or negotiation.  

Once issues had been ‘aired’ we could then focus on specific activities to help generate more footfall and trade.  These have included window competitions, local events, high street ‘trails’ and the creation of new, seasonal markets.

Many Local Champions are also business owners, which means they often don’t get time to kick start a Group without facilitated support. Here’s what our newest Group had to say:

“We’ve been grateful for the help and guidance from Julie and the SaveTheHighStreet.org team in getting the Hoyland Traders Group up and running. Although numbers attending meetings have not been huge, we have made great progress and we’ve managed to access fantastic local, collaborative support including funding that we would otherwise not have been aware of or considered.
We’ve also built relationships with national brands and formed a partnership with Community Shop Group’s management team, which has resulted in access to free use of equipment, access to volunteers and donations including selection boxes for our Christmas event.
It has been hard work but a very positive experience.”
Peter Holmes (Barnsley Today Magazine) and Wayne Crawshaw (John Crawshaw Butchers)
Co-Chairs of Hoyland Traders Group

Julie Holden, Community Director at SaveTheHighStreet.org is close to many of these projects. “It is good to see that the recent recommendations from the House of Lords report into high streets includes support for ‘local communities’ and a focus on town centre management to help drive improvements.
Our Dudley Group was featured on Central ITV as the new report was announced, showcasing their activities as a great example of exactly the sort of positive initiative needed. Click here to watch the news report.
We have an army of Local Champions who are passionate about the success of their high streets and town centres! We are excited to be developing this area of our work in the year ahead.”

A few words from one of our Local Authority partners:

“North West Leicestershire District Council commissioned SaveTheHighStreet.org to undertake an ‘on the ground’ project to assess the appetite for creating a local traders’ group in Coalville town centre.

Through the direct input from the team at SaveTheHighStreet.org, the project has been a success. A core group of local businesses and high street champions have come together to form a new town team and have accessed a historic pot of funding which had been ring-fenced for town centre activities.

We now have an active and dedicated team of local businesses with a formal structure. This has enabled the council to work more closely with town centre businesses, and for the town team to coordinate new events and activities to encourage people to come and enjoy Coalville and its food, drink, leisure, heritage and retail offer.

I’m delighted with what has been achieved and am happy to recommend this partnership for other towns and local areas without a formal group or Business Improvement District.”

Barrie Walford, Economic Development Manager, North West Leicestershire District Council

A Proven Model for High Street Revitalisation

This initiative is part of a wider effort by SaveTheHighStreet.org to tackle rising vacancy rates and support local entrepreneurs. Earlier this year, in partnership with Redevco, we launched the UK’s first ‘end-to-end pop-up incubator’ at Guildford’s White Lion Walk Shopping Centre. This program offers startups rent-free retail space for three months, expert mentorship, and business support. The incubator has already helped businesses like Rita Botanicals, Silent Pool, and MyNewFave transition to long-term leases.

Scaling for Future Success

The success of this incubator model is a breakthrough for high street regeneration. We’re expanding this initiative to other locations, across the UK to create flexible, community-driven spaces that quickly repopulate vacant units and nurture local talent.

“We believe this model can play a key role in revitalising town centres across the UK,” said Clare Yeadon from Redevco.

As we celebrate the winners in Southend, we’re excited about the future of these incubator projects, which are breathing new life into town centres and supporting sustainable retail destinations across the UK.

The UK government has launched a new initiative, High Street Rental Auctions (HSRAs), which has gone live, effective 2nd December 2024. It is designed to tackle the growing issue of long-term vacant shops on high streets. Minister Alex Norris announced the initiative at a National Showcase event in Wolverhampton on 21st November, which included local authorities, landlords, and key stakeholders.

UPDATE: Click here for detailed guidance on High Street Rental Auctions

The new legislation allows councils to step in when landlords leave commercial properties vacant for over a year. Local authorities will have the power to auction leases for vacant units, offering them to small businesses, start-ups, and community groups in need of affordable space. These short-term, flexible leases (ranging from one to five years) are intended to breathe new life into town centres by fostering innovation, creating jobs, and driving local economic growth.

The Government’s Commitment to High Street Revival

With one in seven high street units reportedly vacant, the government is committed to rejuvenating town centres. Over £1 million in funding will support the HSRA process, while new policies to freeze business rates, lower taxes for retail, hospitality, and leisure properties, and increase the Employment Allowance will provide much-needed relief for small businesses.
“High streets are the beating heart of our communities, but too many have been neglected,” said Minister Norris. “HSRAs give local councils the tools to take control and re-energise town centres.”

SaveTheHighStreet.org’s Role in Supporting Local Regeneration

At the event, Julie Holden, our Community Director, commented on the new initiative: “Although the process is fairly complex and it relies on certain criteria, it will be a useful ‘tool’ for getting the ball rolling in the right direction. I’m sure enforcement will be a last resort in most instances, and there will be funding to help at various points. We look forward to continuing to work with Local Authorities and landlords to help facilitate projects that can repopulate vacant units with growing brands, start-ups, and the next generation of high street entrepreneurs—with or without the HSRA powers being used.”

SaveTheHighStreet.org is committed to supporting this transition by offering Vacancy Partnership opportunities. Our platform connects stakeholders to help facilitate projects that bring businesses and services back to vacant properties, whether or not HSRA powers are used. We believe in empowering local communities and businesses to shape their high streets, and we are eager to collaborate to make this vision a reality.

What’s Next?

The full documentation for the ‘right to rent’ scheme has been published on 2nd December and can be viewed in the link above, with funding guidelines available from 15th January 2025. Local authorities will be able to act as early adopters, working closely with the Ministry of Housing, Communities, and Local Government (MHCLG) to provide strategic guidance and best practices.

For those interested in partnering with us, visit SaveTheHighStreet.org/end-vacancy to register your interest and get involved in the regeneration of high streets across the UK.

This initiative marks a crucial step toward breathing new life into high streets, boosting local businesses, and creating a vibrant, sustainable economy. With government support and collaboration across sectors, we’re excited to see the positive change ahead.

The post Flintshire Town Centre Support Programme: Latest Updates first appeared on Savethehighstreet.org.

Back in March this year, SaveTheHighStreet.org and Redevco, owner of the White Lion Walk shopping centre in Guildford, joined forces to launch a unique competition for up-and-coming high-street brands to win rent-free space to boost occupancy. 

Hundreds of businesses entered but only three could win and in this article, we’re excited to bring you up to speed with the project and what’s happened so far.

What was on offer

Each of our winners received: 

• 8 weeks of completely rent-free space at White Lion Walk, one of Guildford’s prime retail hotspots.
• A place on our JO Accelerator Programme, giving them access to a team of high street experts, 1-to-1 support and a whole host of done-for-you solutions to launch their new stores with success.  
• Help with securing a permanent lease at White Lion Walk and access to ongoing support to grow their businesses. 

At the time of the announcement, Alex Schlagman, Founder of SaveTheHighStreet.org said: 

“We are thrilled to offer this unique opportunity to Guildford’s entrepreneurial community. The White Lion Walk Incubator is more than just free space; it’s a chance to gain invaluable experience and establish a successful business in a prime location.”

Whilst, Claire Yeadon of Redevco said:

“We’re thrilled to announce our partnership with Save the High Street, aligning perfectly with Redevco’s mission to help towns and cities be more sustainable and liveable. This collaborative effort allows us to provide local businesses with a unique opportunity to establish a shop and receive comprehensive support and guidance, ensuring their new ventures thrive.”

Introducing our winners

After much deliberation, Redevco and SaveTheHighStreet.org selected the following three businesses as our lucky winners…

Silent Pool Distillers  

Drawn by a common passion for craft distilling, in 2013 a group of friends came together to create a new kind of distillery, producing handcrafted, artisan spirits with uncompromising quality. In an extraordinary location on the Duke of Northumberland’s Albury Estate, a group of dilapidated farm buildings on the banks of the legendary & mystical Silent Pool has been transformed to become the home of the Silent Pool Distillers. 

Silent Pool is now selling from a prime unit in White Lion Walk. 

Find out more about the brand here. 

My New Fave Collective

My New Fave Collective by Kelly Attfield brings together a diverse range of handmade and originally-designed products from local creators, including clothing, jewellery, homeware, skincare and so much more. The store aims to become the go-to destination for high-quality, handmade gifts with a personal touch in Guildford. 

Kelly first launched the brand online as a jewellery business but, thanks to our competition, has now been able to operate offline for the first time by teaming up with other like-minded local creatives. 

Check out My New Fave on Instagram to find out more.

Rita Botanicals 

Rita Botanicals by Nadia Margherita Jbilou is Guildford’s very first houseplants store, offering a diverse selection of high-quality plants, plant care products and plant-inspired gifts, along with educational workshops and community events.  

Nadia’s journey began at Portobello Road Market in London, where she ran a successful market stall. Winning a spot on the incubator program has now allowed her to scale up her business and realise her lifelong dream of launching her very own store. 

The shop is named after Nadia’s beloved Italian grandmother, Nonna Rita, who instilled in her a deep love for plants and nature. 

Find out more here. 

What’s happening now 

Each of the three businesses are now open in White Lion Walk and attracting local shoppers from across Guildford. The three winning owners are also receiving support from JO, which is helping them succeed and prepare for longer tenancies in the centre. 

We’re helping our winners with their marketing, store design, branding, market research, press outreach and much more, all through our unique business support platform and a team of high street experts.

Following our “Open Your Shop” competition, hosted in partnership with Ankorstart, we’re excited to introduce you to one of our winners who we’re helping to launch on the high street.

Meet Aimee and Lily Barrett, the duo sisters behind Candid Studios

Candid Studios is a unique, South Korean-inspired self-portrait studio where you’re in charge. 

Soon stepping up to their new flagship studio off Portobello Road — which we’re supporting them with — Aimee and Lily are on a mission to flip the script on filtered-to-perfection photos that have come to dominate our social feeds. 

The concept is simple: visit Candid Studios, and capture your true self. At your freest and most fun. They invite you to take control of your story… however you’d like to. 

Say bye to feeling camera shy. No judgement, no photographer, no pressure.

Just you — and whoever you want to bring along for the ride — a studio set-up, some fun props (enter disco ball and a cowboy hat) and a 90s-inspired bedroom vibe.

From capturing the raw beauty of scars and stories of resilience to chronicling love and life’s milestones, the studio seeks to unleash the power of the self-portrait. 

Here’s what Aimee and Lily had to say about their journey so far when we caught up with them!

Why did you start Candid Studios?

“Candid was founded out of our own struggle with self-doubt and self-love. The stories that take place within studio make us so emotional. We want to share the impact Candid has with the world, helping others to step out of their comfort zones and remove self-limiting beliefs. Candid is empowering people to love themselves for who they are and we’re so proud of that!””

Why did you enter the “Open Your Shop” competition?

We wanted to challenge ourselves! We hadn’t ever pitched our business before, and wanted to use this as a learning curve. We had no idea we’d actually get as far as we did and we feel so lucky!

How did you feel when you won the competition? 

SO excited, empowered and grateful!

How have you found the support since you won?

The JO team and SaveTheHighStreet.org are playing a really important role as we grow and scale our business. We feel really lifted every time we connect with the team!

What does the future for Candid Studios look like now?

We can’t believe what the future is looking like with just being founders for 10 months. We have a new studio opening in the summer, more incredible pop-ups planned and we’re also introducing lots of new streams into Candid like more booths and retail. We’re so excited.

Give Candid a follow on Instagram to stay up to date with their journey!

Last year, we launched our exciting “Open Your Shop” competition, in partnership with Ankorstart, to find three worthy winners of expert support to open on the high street for the very first time. 

Over 600 entered, but only three could win. 

And today we’re excited to introduce you to one of our winners…

Meet Selina Kerley, owner of Tied Florist in Swanage

Tied opened its doors for the first time on February 13th this year, just in time for Valentine’s Day! This marked the launch of the first florist in Swanage in almost a decade, bringing stunning, locally-sourced floral designs and a unique selection of artisan gifts to the local seaside town in Purbeck, Dorset. 

After years of working in luxury floral design, including for prestigious events like Wimbledon and the Evening Standard Theatre Awards, we’re proud to have helped Selina achieve her next dream of opening her own florist shop on the high street.

Since its opening, Tied has received overwhelming support from the local community, earning 100% 5-star reviews on Google, with customers praising the exceptional customer service, quality of flower arrangements and the shop’s inviting atmosphere. 

We caught up with Selina to find out about her journey so far!

Why did you enter the “Open Your Shop” competition?

I saw it as an opportunity to receive professional support at a crucial time — just a month before launching on the high street. Venturing into my own business for the first time was both exciting and daunting. The prospect of guidance from professionals who truly understand the dynamics of the British High Street was incredibly appealing.  

How did you feel once you won the competition?

I was genuinely surprised and honoured. Knowing the competition attracted numerous talented and innovative businesses, getting the call announcing my win left me feeling totally elated. It was a real morale boost, especially as it came at a critical juncture!

How has business been since you opened?

Business has been going well since our opening, surpassing expectations. Despite a damp and chilly start to the year, both Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day were huge successes. The support of the local community has been incredibly heartwarming, reaffirming the need for a florist shop in town.

What do you like most about running a high street business?

The creativity, a sense of pride in your work, and connecting with people from all walks of life are what I enjoy the most. As a florist, you have the privilege of contributing to significant moments in people’s lives, from celebrations to heartfelt goodbyes, and it’s really special to be a part of that.

What are your plans for the future of Tied?

I’m on the cusp of launching nationwide deliveries. Being nestled in Purbeck, I’m excited for our customers to be able to handpick fresh flowers at Tied and have them delivered anywhere across the UK within 24 hours. I’m also planning our new subscription service, The Tied Flower Club, for weekly or fortnightly fresh flower deliveries across Purbeck. This is by popular demand; many people have asked about subscription flowers, and I can’t wait to start curating new and interesting floral bunches for people to receive, discover, and learn more about flowers every week. I also have a jam-packed wedding season ahead, so plenty to keep me busy!

And finally, how have you found the support you’ve received since winning the “Open Your Shop” competition?

The support from SaveTheHighStreet.org has been incredible. It feels like having a whole team of experts behind you, supporting you all the way. At the moment, having just opened my first business, it feels like I’m spinning a lot of plates, so I’m even more grateful to have ongoing support that’s also completely tailored to my needs. Each department is so knowledgeable and skilled at what they do. I’m incredibly thankful for the immense experience and expertise I’m benefiting from at such a crucial time in my new business venture.

Show Tied and Selina some love by following the business on Instagram and Facebook. You can also visit Tied’s website here.
