Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Westfield has been beaten by Bluewater to the top spot in a property expert's table of UK shopping centres. Westfield's latest offering – the 1.9m sq ft Stratford City shopping centre that opened in London in September – has been placed third while Gateshead's Metro Centre came second. Westfield London, in Shepherd's Bush, is now fourth.
The index, by retail property expert Trevor Wood Associates, scores the top 500 centres in the UK on attractiveness to shoppers, retailers and investors, analysing everything from tenant turnover to the number of shop vacancies.
Of the top 10, six are out-of-town shopping centres – highlighting the extent that shoppers are being lured away from traditional high streets.
