L&G's £2bn retirement homes plan could 'revive UK's high streets'Project is first major push to bring purpose-built retirement villages to city centres The high street will never return to how it use to be. Pointless going to a high street when you can go to a shopping outlet with more shops and free parking 🤷‍♂️ Good idea. I don't want to live in a village with no facilities.
