The high street will never be the same again.  A wave of retail failures has left the high streets decimated which has affected landlords who are struggling to collect rent from their tenants.  What is the answer?  The face of the high streets will change and adapt to our new way of life in the form of new restaurants, outdoor eating, more residential and new retail concepts.  There will be more high street retail failures and more landlords who will suffer and who will need to sell their high street retail shops but in time, although no one knows when, things will change.
