Wellington Square Shopping Centre — Attraction in Great Britain

I suppose it's ok. I guess I long for days passed. The Stockton high street of my youth was worlds away from what it is now. The main high street is a ghost town, most of the shops are gone and only charity stores remain, there is nothing wrong with charity shops, I love them but it's just a shame that there is nothing else around them. Most of the buildings have been or will be knocked down to allow for just empty space from the former high street to the river. I suppose it might look nice but that is not a high street or anything close to what it used to be.

Excellent infrastructure but needs more brands and businesses to support it as many shops are closed or in poor state. Has a lot of different supermarkets but very few restaurants. Beautiful arrangements and enough parking space makes it ideal shopping destination. Also has water fountains on one end which has buses running just of the road opposite to the mall. Needs some advertising events to be carried out to give it more life. Overall I was pleased due to the hospitality of the staff working at the shopping centre. Parking was totally free throughout the day due to Easter but still didn't have much exciting events at the site which could have boosted the business, it was dull and gloomy. Has enough scope of...
