Customers have 'not returned' to revamped Victoria Street, traders say
Customers have "not returned" to shops on a Wolverhampton street after months of disruption caused by roadworks, traders have said.
Victoria Street was turned into a building site for 17 months due to a £15.7m council pedestrianisation scheme which resulted in some traders closing down.
Many of the businesses which have remained say they have suffered huge losses due to low footfall, forcing them to lay off staff and pushing them to the brink of closure.
And they claim customers have not returned to their stores since the work was completed in early May.
