UK's high street 're-emerging'

The UK high street is “re-emerging” after four years of store culling on the back of a boost in consumer confidence and cheaper fuel costs, according to a report.

Of the 13 major high street retailers placed into administration last year, 42% of stores survived – up from 35% in 2013 but down from 66% in 2011, restructuring and advisory firm FRP Advisory said.
