Opinion: Britain needs an alfresco dining revolution to bring life into its cold city centres

We had it during covid and then pretended it never happened so we can park 1mm away from the door of the restaurant while complaining lack of parking is killing the high-street.

Clue is in the title lol

Er ... it's too frigging cold and when it's warm it stinks due to the streets and paths not being cleared of the pavement pizzas of the previous evening.

Our towns and cities centres are dying because there's no realistic way for most businesses to bring in enough to make the numbers add up when factoring in premises. The costs are insane. Trying to get enough trade to cover that and wages is a non-starter for most businesses. Commercial premises have essentially priced themselves out of the market.
