"The head of fashion chain Next has blamed 'incompetent' local councils, who are resistant to change, for the grim state of some of the country's high streets, as he revealed 'quiet' trading since January.
"Lord Wolfson, a Conservative peer and government adviser, said:

Some high streets have been neglected for 20 or 30 years and those are the ones that will die."
