An uphill struggle
Article Abstract:
Bournemouth, England, is an important tourist destination, but still does not have any shopping malls. The prime pitch stretches only 91 mt, as the main street goes sharply uphill, and there are few key locations. Space is therefore in very short supply, and there is strong pent-up demand following a long period during which no lettings have been made in the prime pitch. Local agents are considering ways of making more retail space available.

The Mersey beat
Article Abstract:
The city of Liverpool, England, has many good points, but outsiders are not always prepared to acknowledge this, according to Chris Farrow, chief executive of Merseyside Development Corp. Businesses tend to view the city rather negatively, and it can be hard to market it. However, its image has improved under the influence of high-profile schemes, and it is seen very positively in the international arena.
