I mean, there's a few different aspects, but probably, obviously out of town affects it.
00:07

00:11

00:16
encourages people to come into the city centre,
00:18
and then they go to the bars and restaurants after they've been shopping, so, yeah.
00:22
Well, I think there is an imperative to shop locally, or there won't be any local shops.
00:27
So we need to get the balance right.
00:31
And obviously, this is like carpet rice, we're in a tough world.
00:36
So, you know, if they can't compete, are you suggesting they should be in the city centre?
00:44

00:50
