Will summer sun spark sizzling sales at H&M?
H&M will later this week reveal whether the heatwave has boosted Britain's struggling High Street.
Dismal figures last week showed retail sales tumbled 2.7 per cent in May in the biggest drop in 18 months – much steeper than the 0.5 per cent dip forecast by economists.
But there are hopes the recent hot weather will have encouraged shoppers to splash the cash.
The Swedish fashion group is expected to report a rise in sales for the three months to the end of May in an update on Thursday.
But H&M reported weaker-than-expected sales for the first quarter of its financial year in its previous update in March.
Sales rose 2 per cent to £4.2billion in the three months to February 28, slowing to 1 per cent in March.

Brexit rules spark ‘clear demand' for more motorhome parking, lobby group says
Boosting provision for these vehicles would generate more revenue for local businesses and increase the number of visitors to tourist destinations outside the peak summer season, the Campaign for Real Aires (Campra) said. Aires is a French word used to describe designated stopping places for motorcaravans – the collective term for motorhomes and campervans – which are much more common in continental Europe than the UK. Motorhomes by the sea in Italy (Alamy/PA) Post-Brexit rules mean UK passport holders are prohibited from being in the Schengen area – which covers most of the European Union and some other European nations – for more than 90 days within a 180-day period. That means many UK-based motorcaravan users are seeking domestic destinations for overnight trips. But a survey of 6,731 users suggested 88% are dissatisfied with the UK's availability of overnight parking in desirable locations. The poll also indicated that motorcaravaners spend an average of £51 per day in local businesses and £23 per night on overnight parking or campsite fees. Many respondents commented on the UK's lack of infrastructure and welcoming attitude compared with continental Europe, Campra said. Towns and cities could benefit hugely by embracing motorcaravans Steve Haywood, Campra Last month, Hampshire County Council approved plans to ban campervans and motorhomes from staying overnight at the south coast beauty spot of Keyhaven, near Lymington. It claimed the move would 'bring order' to the area. Campra managing director Steve Haywood said welcoming motorcaravans to an area 'can be a hugely positive move'. He went on: 'There is a clear demand – emphasised by post-Brexit travel restrictions – for more overnight stay options in UK towns and cities, and those towns and cities could benefit hugely by embracing motorcaravans. 'More councils are seeing the benefits of providing facilities, instead of suffering the cost of enforcement and bans, not to mention the loss of potential revenue to businesses. 'In Fleetwood, Lancashire, for example, the introduction of overnight parking in the seafront car park for £5 per night has seen a huge boost in revenue for local shops, and has been so successful that additional facilities are now being planned for motorcaravanners. 'Every council that has operated a 12-month trial aire has been successful and made the overnight parking permanent.' Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency figures show more than 416,000 motorcaravans are registered in the UK. A spokesperson for the Local Government Association said: 'Policies around overnight motorcaravan parking and the provision of facilities are a matter for local councils.'

Beloved kitchenware store that closed after 42 years to return on the high street
A POPULAR shop in Llandudno is making a big comeback – just months after it shut down. The Kitchen Range, a go-to kitchenware in the seaside town, closed in March after 42 years when owner Robin Whitehead decided to retire. Locals were gutted by the news, calling the closure a 'big loss' to the town. But now it's coming back – with a fresh new look and a new home just down the road. The revived store will open at 105 Mostyn Street – the old Sweet Emporium site – on July 2. It'll be run by Janet Gordon, who managed the original shop for years. She said: 'I cannot put into words how thrilled I am to be given the opportunity to manage the new Kitchen Range. "It was, and still is, a unique cook shop, providing our customers with an informative and friendly shopping experience." The shop was a go-to spot for locals and tourists looking for everything from pots and pans to hard-to-find kitchen gadgets. Janet added: 'Our customer base has always included locals, professionals and tourists, many of whom have shopped with us for many years." 'We're proud to continue those values, and we'll continue to offer a bespoke ordering service for customers seeking the perfect finishing touch or a hard-to-find kitchen item.' The original store closed on March 8, with Robin saying it was time to enjoy retirement after decades in the business. He first opened the shop back in 1983. Why are so many shops going bust? The new version of The Kitchen Range will keep its personal touch – but with some modern updates. It now has a website, social media accounts and email contact to help shoppers stay in the loop. Janet said: 'We're thrilled to be returning to Llandudno's central high street, surrounded by a vibrant mix of fantastic businesses of all kinds, many of whom we've proudly stood alongside for decades.' Suppliers are backing the relaunch – and say it's great news for the town. Michelle Colins, from national supplier Lifetime Brands, said: 'This beloved local business is set to once again become a hub for culinary enthusiasts and a vital part of the community.' 'As the only dedicated kitchenware shop in the area, its return is a fantastic boost for Llandudno, bringing back a space for quality products and trusted advice.' Locals won't have long to wait – the doors swing open on Tuesday, July 2. While The Kitchen Range is making a comeback, many other shops across the UK are being forced to call it a day. Retailers have been hammered by high costs, falling footfall and changing shopping habits. In Wales, Nibletts Mica in Builth Wells announced it will shut down once current stock runs out. The owners blamed "falling sales and greatly increased costs" driven by soaring rates and national insurance changes. Over in Yorkshire, All Types Electrical in Rotherham switched off the lights for the final time on Christmas Eve after more than 50 years in business. The Closet, a second-hand clothing store in Harker, also shut at the end of last year. Even bigger names aren't safe. Shoe Zone has closed more than 20 branches since last May, dropping from 320 shops to just 297. More closures are expected, with the boss blaming poor consumer confidence and unseasonal weather. Homebase is also shutting sites, launching closing-down sales at several locations across the UK. The Centre for Retail Research revealed that 13,479 shops shut down in 2024 alone – a staggering average of 37 closures a day. Over 11,000 of these were independent stores. With the cost of living still squeezing shoppers and business bills piling up, many high street traders say they're barely hanging on. RETAIL PAIN IN 2025 The British Retail Consortium predicted that the Treasury's hike to employer NICs will cost the retail sector £2.3billion. Research by the British Chambers of Commerce showed that more than half of companies planned to raise prices by early April. A survey of more than 4,800 firms also found that 55% expect prices to increase in the next three months, up from 39% in a similar poll conducted in the latter half of 2024. Three-quarters of companies cited the cost of employing people as their primary financial pressure. The Centre for Retail Research (CRR) has also warned that around 17,350 retail sites are expected to shut down this year. It comes on the back of a tough 2024 when 13,000 shops closed their doors for good, already a 28% increase on the previous year. Professor Joshua Bamfield, director of the CRR said: "The results for 2024 show that although the outcomes for store closures overall were not as poor as in either 2020 or 2022, they are still disconcerting, with worse set to come in 2025." Professor Bamfield has also warned of a bleak outlook for 2025, predicting that as many as 202,000 jobs could be lost in the sector. "By increasing both the costs of running stores and the costs on each consumer's household it is highly likely that we will see retail job losses eclipse the height of the pandemic in 2020. 2

UK loses top spot for foreign investment in renewable energy
The number of green energy and utility sector projects attracting inward investment into Britain fell by 57 per cent last year, according to a new analysis. The slump resulted in the UK losing its top spot to France as the leading European destination for foreign direct investment into utilities and energy supply, EY found. The professional services firm pointed to the contrast with a 'surge in inward investment in renewables in 2023', owing to the timing of auction rounds for renewables. However, the decline comes at a time that the government is seeking to step up investment to secure its decarbonisation goals and to reduce Britain's reliance on volatile international gas markets. Lee Downham, energy and resources lead at EY in Britain, said: 'The UK must continue to attract a strong pipeline of renewable investments if it's to achieve its energy security ambitions. 'While investors have traditionally viewed the UK as an appealing destination for clean energy, lengthy planning procedures and slow grid connectivity have been seen as drags on UK attractiveness, in addition to uncertainty over future pricing.' The government is still deciding whether to implement a radical overhaul of the UK's wholesale electricity market to introduce regional zones, a move that critics argue will deter investment. The EY analysis covers investment into the electricity, gas, water and waste utilities sectors. A spokesman said there was a particular focus on green energy and renewables, as well as some nuclear-focused investments. Investments ranged from the construction of new solar farms, energy storage and hydrogen facilities, to the establishment of new headquarters, manufacturing operations, maintenance hubs and research and development facilities. • £2bn green hydrogen project on Humberside pulled by US group There were 39 such projects that attracted foreign direct investment into the UK last year — creating 1,452 jobs — down from 93 projects the previous year, which created 4,819 jobs, according to EY's UK Attractiveness Survey. France had 74 such projects, up from 65 in 2023, Germany ranked third and Spain fourth. Across Europe there was a 21 per cent decline in foreign direct investments into the sector year on year.
