The government is starting a pilot to allow local councils to force the rental of High Street shops vacant for more than a year, for the lowest rent achievable.
Some 80% of vacant shops in the UK have been empty for more than two years, while over one in five has stood vacant for longer than four years.
Of course, landlords aren't happy as they keep them empty to maintain artificially high valuations. Sad.
