Drawing on what you have learned from the Making Social Lives DVD and Learning Companion 1, outline how some benefit and some lose on a street that you know.

Because of this shopping centre opening up I think that Whitefriargate has a whole street its self loses out because of another shopping centre. St Stephens is at the other side of the town centre to Whitefriargate and is next to the bus and train station. Because of its location and ease of access it has drawn business away from shops down Whitefriargate because people will shop where it is easiest and most convenient for them.
