Relaxed attitudes
Article Abstract:
The towns within South Staffordshire, England, are experiencing increasing demand for office space, retail outlets and industrial development land. In Cannock the newly erected shopping centre, which opened in 1996, is proving a popular site but the town suffers from a lack of land suitable for industrial development. The Guildhall Centre in Stafford has faced difficulty in finding retail occupiers since its opening in 1990 and still has a few units left to rent. An area east of Stafford comprising of 18 acres has been made available for industrial development.

Pillar of the North
Article Abstract:
There are a number of ways in which the new 120,770 sq mt Trafford Centre in Manchester, England, is a reflection of the personality of Peel Holdings Chmn John Whittaker, its developer. Indeed, those who know Whittaker believe that the development is designed to be a permanent monument to him. He was born locally into a modest family, but has now become the 78th-richest person in the UK. He has proved himself to be a great visionary, and has shown strong commitment to the region.
