A love-hate relationship
Article Abstract:
Manchester's 600 million pounds sterling Trafford Centre has been blamed for the poor performance of retailers in the adjacent city centre, but David Royle of Lambert Smith Hampton believes that the poor figures are the result of the IRA bombing in 1996. However, Carl Speight of the Association of Town Centre Managers is worried about the viability of future development in other regional centres and says that the Trafford Centre is discouraging developers from regenrating town centres.

Minimal upset from Bluewter's wake
Article Abstract:
Local shopping centres which took decisive action against the possible threat posed by the building of a massive new shopping experience in Kent, England have shown little economic disruption during the first year of Bluewater's operation. The worst hit retail outlets are those closest to Bluewater, although centres located further away have altered their public image to try to attract a different cliental from the 25 million visits expected at Bluewater during its first year.
