Footfall Report |
|
Footfalls have seen a decline in the last few months, at times a 10-20% reduction over the previous year. However, sunshine has been helping, and May is trending in a better direction. A new addition to the Bulletin will be these weekly reports to help you gauge visitation to the village in this already tumultuous year.
Headlines The total number of footfalls YTD is up 13.1%, this is primarily due to an above average January. The peak hour for week 18 was Saturday May 3 at 14:00.
REMINDER: The numbers shown are not people but footfalls, i.e. the counting of the numbers of passersby, not individuals.
Week 18: Apr 28 to May 4, 2025 |
