Annual KPI |
Footfall is now measured using data from HUQ, which records unique visitors for the entire town centre area using mobile phone data. Reporting data from Q2 2022 onwards will look different as we have updated to the KPI to reflect this change.
Using the data from HUQ, the “Footfall in Town Centre” KPI achieved an outcome of 351,489 against a target of 468,658, missing its target by more than 10%. When comparing it to HUQ data from the last quarter, footfall has decreased by 17.9%. The drop in footfall from the previous quarter could be in part due to the extreme cold weather period in December and as people adapt their spending patterns to increases in the cost of living.
