A new advisory board established by the Department for Communities and Local Government is to look at how digital technology can help create sustainable high streets, while the board has held its inaugural meeting.
The Chief Executive of Home Retail Group, John Walden, who has been named as the chairman of the board, said: ‘There are a number of digital-related high street initiatives, both in the public sector and private sector, but there is often little, if any, linkage between them.
‘This board will take information from successful pilots and examples of good practice, and seek to apply it to a broader national strategy.’
