The car park can be awkward at times. Also the entrance and exit could better as traffic gets congested... otherwise nice bright and modern.

Great space to go shopping with large M&S and Sainsburys. Numerous smaller chain stores like waterstone and Lush

Sad to see so many vacant units in this once very busy shopping mall. Badly in need of an attractive key retailer to replace Debenhams who can bring back the buzz.

Used to be very good,but very little quality left with the closure of some of the bigger stores (Debenhams, Sport Direct, Monsoon, Top Shop). New additions are often temp stores and not great.

Only used the Sainaburys but it looked inviting, bright. Nice to see a centre where there were no obvious closed down stores. The ticket collection point at the car park was so high I had to exit the car to reach. I dont think I have ever experienced that before and was odd. Equally I had my parking ticket validated but no one said you still have to put them into the parking paypoint machines before trying to leave. Ended up with a long queue behind me and having to call via the emergency button to be released.

The cinema is the only reason I go here, its a great cinema
Butthe centre is dead! Theres nothing here, most shops are gone. We just go to Buttercrane instead, theres nothing worth seeing here. I would like a cafe open later so there would be something to do after a movie ends. Really hope they revitalise this place or I can see more places closing down in it or moving elsewhere
