And then Food Court. Oh my god it's disgusting in there.

... that's just what it is like
I just use it as a cut through.

Very occassionally, near Xmas time usually, I might take a quick look in Woolworths, but there is nothing else in that precinct that I bother with.
Ok - Wilkinsons is ok for certain bits & pieces - household things or plant pots
I never look in any of those tacky shoe shops and clothes shops full of either tracksuits and trainers or teeny bopper tat
.. as for the market - it's just so depressing.
Clayton sq isn't much to write home about. There's nothing particularly nice about it.
St John's is pretty awful agreed but there is a place for shops of that sort.
It's good news that they are going to do it up.
The market needs a lot doing to it and the disused upper level should go. They could also do something with the roof and allow natural light in.
As for Clayton Square I remember when it opened in about 1988 and it was lovely. However, they revamped it when Virgin moved in and ruined it by putting a floor over the main mall area, thus blocking out the light.
The architect even complained about it.
To my mind it was never built to house a great deal of shops but was supposed to be an elegant arcade, however, they tried to squash too many shops into it and ruined it.
