WINCHESTER City Centre s footfall over the last year has been relatively high when compared to the national picture. According to Springboard, the national data portal, the city retained 21 per cent more footfall than similar places. In December, it saw 6 per cent more footfall than the average. Cllr Paula Ferguson believes this is because the city council built on an already established brand . We delivered new marketing campaigns via our visitor and resident social media channels, visitwinchester.co.uk and christmasinwinchester.co.uk, to attract visitors and residents to our high streets, local shops and eateries. We also created a dedicated Rediscover Christmas in Winchester film which captured the key highlights from across the district and focused specifically on independent businesses and local gift ideas.
