Hello, Following good news that Oxford city centre's footfall has increased and bucked national trends, challenges have been apparent on social media that 'it's only tourists' and 'no one local shops in Oxford'. I note that in your press release dated 11 December - link here https://www.oxford.gov.uk/news/article/1010/oxford-city-centre-continues-to-buck-national-footfall-trends-in-the-run-up-to-christmas the press release stated that almost half of visitors are from Oxfordshire postcodes, which indicates there might be data available that could help assess this claim. Accordingly, please could you provide any data you have on sources of footfall to the city centre. Ideally this would be monthly data for 2022 2023 and 2024 to date providing the % of shoppers from OX postcodes and those not from OX postcodes which would enable analysis of change over time (post covid), and also assessment of the current status quo charge that 'visitors are only tourists'. Many thanks in advance for your time on this.
