Not all local centres have recovered equally. Although commentators have suggested local high streets would receive a WFH boost, the data for Greater Manchester does not back up this claim." title="https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="3⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 3" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 3"> Not all local centres have recovered equally.

So, does this mean a brighter future for local #highstreets? Not necessarily.
Though all these local centres have recovered faster than the centre of Manchester, only Wigan has fully recovered its pre-lockdown levels. Altrincham and Stockport are not yet close.

It is important to remember we& #39;re seeing recovery relative to pre-lockdown levels. While rapid return in Wigan is good news, it had 20% of high street units vacant pre-lockdown.
