Councils would be given extra powers to help rid high streets of derelict shopfronts and restore"neighbourhood pride".The prime minister wants derelict shops to be a thing of the past on high streets. File picPlans to revive struggling town centres will form a key part of the Queen's Speech next week as the prime minister tries to move on after his party's poor local election performance.
Boris Johnson will say on Tuesday that he wants to rid high streets of derelict shopfronts and restore"neighbourhood pride", with councils given extra powers to make it happen. The Levelling Up And Regeneration Bill would give England's councils the power to hold compulsory rental auctions to make sure shops that have been vacant for more than a year are available to prospective tenants.
One in seven shops are vacant, according to figures from the British Retail Consortium, with as many as a fifth empty in the North East. Many have lost tenants due to high rental and business rates, as well as a fall in demand as shoppers move online.Councils will also have greater power to use compulsory purchase orders to deliver housing, regeneration schemes and infrastructure.
