    Abstract

    This report outlines the main findings of the research on the contribution of bookshops to the vitality and viability of high streets in the UK and Ireland. The initial sections of the report summarise some of the main current structural changes facing high streets within towns and cities and explore how the recent pandemic has brought new and additional challenges for our centres. The report also investigates how far a specific retail sub-sector, booksellers, contributes to the top 25 priorities based on IPM’s extensive research and engagement in relation to the vitality and viability of high streets and central places and then analyses the results from both the surveys and detailed interviews.
