Heaven help the rest of the country if this is true!
Chesterfield is one of the top shopping hotspots in the country - according to a leading business magazine’s retail ranking. Property Week has revealed the top 100 retail locations in the UK with Chesterfield appearing at number 26 ahead of major cities such as Birmingham and Leeds and just behind Manchester at 25. This is the first year that Chesterfield has featured in the industry-significant report. The Hot 100 UK Retail Locations ranking was compiled by location experts CACI and focussed on areas that have potential for investors. Birmingham was listed at 27, Leeds came in at number 45 and Sheffield number 98. Peter Swallow, chair of Destination Chesterfield, said: “Already there is £1bn worth of investment happening in the borough and major projects such as Peak Resort, Chesterfield Waterside and Markham Vale. Chesterfield’s ranking as a top retail hot spot will bring the town further prominence and hopefully increase our retail offering to residents and visitors.” The research took into account factors including headroom for future investment, residential catchment size, population growth, competition and catchment demographic. The ranking also considered how population is projected to increase or fall over the next ten years.
