Fury at death of famous UK high street as locals fume at 'dump with no class'

One of the most iconic high streets in a famous UK city has been slapped with a surprising label. Edinburgh ’s Princess Street has been slammed as "rundown" by locals as multiple high street retailers shutting up shop for good. In a scathing attack on the picturesque high street, it has been called a “dump with no class”.

The substance for these claims is the influx of gift shops that now pepper the shopfronts, with major brands not being replaced like-for-like. Fashion giants such as Next, Zara, Gap, and Debenhams have already left and several outlets have moved to the nearby St James Quarter causing the iconic street to look more deserted than it has done for years. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.
