Retailers put on thinking caps over Trafford
Article Abstract:
The retail industry in Manchester, England, will be affected by the setting up of a retail complex, the Trafford Centre, which has received approval from the House of Lords. The proposed scheme is opposed by local retailers and planners, but retailers may seek outlets in the new project. It is not clear what the impact on city center retailers will be. Supporters of the scheme argue that the center should improve its facilities as happened in Newcastle, where parking costs were reduced and litter was cleared to attract more shoppers.
