Traders in Wiltshire need to make sure 'recovery is not thrown off track' A Wiltshire retail expert has said that traders are integral in making sure "recovery is not thrown off track." Shops across the region have opened their doors today leading to a buzz of activity on high streets. Already today, Retail analyst group Springboard has released figures on customer numbers up until 10am. Their data shows that footfall is 14.7% lower than this Monday two years ago, before any lockdowns. While many shoppers have been out enjoying the newly opened shops - some others in society are less confident about returning to busy spaces.
