There is always another that will come along and take up the space Gusto1. Next were interested in Debenhams last time around and there is always Mike Ashley looking to add to his High Street Empire and you always have the prospects of large supermarkets opening within as well.
The bit I think you fail to acknowledge though is that Debenhams can now be replaced with new retail tenants who can pay the rent bills.
The main thing though to focus on right now is the rolling out the vaccine, getting the infection rate, hospitalisation rate, death rate and R-rates down further for it is these that hold the key to unlocking the present lockdown restrictions and reopening shops.
Things were looking on track last night and the Government just announced the opening of a further 32 Mass Testing Centres as of yesterday, making 52 in total now. The aim was 50 of these by the end of January. They have surpassed it.
Next reopening, unlike the last time, will be backed by vaccines and immunity.
