The first six months of 2017 produced a remarkable turnaround in some of the key indicators of the health of the UK's retail locations.

"Across the half year Retail and Leisure vacancy improved and more businesses opened on the high street than closed. In 2016 the net loss in numbers of units had been more than -1,600 but in H1 2017 it returned to growth." Introduction, 'Retail and Leisure Report: Turning Point (H1 2017)'
