Riots will ‘leave a scar’ on High Streets, trade body warns
ShareShareShareShareShare

Previous research by Goldsmiths university, external suggested that more than 2,000 mostly small, independent businesses were affected by the London riots in 2011, which led to five deaths and saw properties and shops across England destroyed.

It estimated that the four days of violence cost the UK between £200m and £500m in damages, lost trade and policing.

It will likely be some time before the full extent of the damage caused by the most recent violence is known.

The prime minister said those engaging in “far right thuggery” will face the “full force of the law”. He condemned the “wanton violence” and “racist rhetoric”.

Owners of franchises and branches of bigger brands have also spoken out after their stores were targeted.

Retailer Lush, best known for its cosmetics and fragrant beauty products, saw its shop in Hull damaged and looters were pictured leaving the store with handfuls of bags and boxes.

The company said it was “devastated” about what has happened to its “beautiful shop” in Hull, as well as other nearby retailers.

Its head of retail for UK & Ireland, Kasey Swithenbank, said that it is proud to be part of a “multi-racial Britain” and that its shop manager and workers had “worked tirelessly” to get the shop ready to start trading again.

On-site, contractors helped repair windows and doors while cleaners worked through the night, she said.

In Sunderland, one travel consultant at the Hays Travel Vine Place branch said that two young protestors had thown bricks through their windows during the weekend.

She questioned why the firm was targeted as a Sunderland-based business that tries to do good and said that the protestors did not represent the city.

On Monday, the boss of the British Retail Consortium said that many would have been heading to work fearing that their safety could be compromised by the vandalism that has taken grip in some parts of the country.

Helen Dickinson said some retail workers were spending their day cleaning up damage and in some instances may not be able to visit their local stores.
