    • People's Experience of the Brand
      • In migration of more affluent residents. Opening of businesses and leisure activities suited to larger incomes. Outpricing original residents.
      • Liverpool one - opposition against the removal of public rights of way and the effect it would have on other parts of the centre. Competition to independant stores.
