High Streets are declining. The reasons are many and complex not least the continued threat of online shopping. The is a bold scheme (used by other centres e.g. Wimbledon to name only one) which mirrors the investment in the Spires. We need both to be successful if we are to reverse the decline. TFL are funding so local services aren't impacted. Let's be brave instead of resisting change. the potential loss of 7 spaces is minimal and won't fundamentally change the current state of affairs - 7 charity shop out of 23 says it all. Embrace change not resist it.
