Will our high street become deceased?

Internet shopping is fast becoming to blame for the closing of high street shops. It is estimated that in 2008, the total number of shops on the high street will fall to 220,000, taking 316,000 jobs in a report by Professor Joshua Bamfield. 41% of UK towns could see a rapid decline of closing stores and less visitors. London and the South East are expected 10% of closures, less than the rest of the UK.
