Create a nationwide regeneration plan run by an independent "Regeneration Tsar"

For towns and cities, the High Street acts as the main hub for community, supporting not just employment and commerce, but social connectedness and wellbeing. Empty stores are unsightly, a burden on landlords, hurt surrounding businesses, and when increasing High Street vacancy becomes everyone’s local problem, it needs a national solution. We appreciate that some efforts in this regard have been made in 50 towns / cities, but it is important that a nationwide regeneration formulae is found.
