Dismal weather hits high streets

The dismal start to the summer took its toll on Britain's high streets as the number of shoppers fell by 2.3% in the three months to July, figures have showed.

Record wet weather led to the decline in so-called retail footfall across the UK, with London, Scotland and the east of England the hardest hit with declines of 8.9%, 8.2% and 7.3% respectively.
