Pop up shops
Start a scheme where empty shops can be leased on a short-term basis, for cheap, to local residents. Also support in place to support those businesses.
Benefits
1) Shops can make money quickly to expand business
2) Local residents can enjoy different shops on their local high street
3) Can be seen as a trial run for both the business and the community. If the pop up shop works well, then they can make the move permanent.
4) Give communities a chance to use the space, before developers turn them into flats.
