They have a hatred of cars and will make you pay dearly for choosing to come in the car (I dont mean the lack of parking facilities, I mean every time they 'improve' the roads its to make life harder for cars). Look at Canal Street, and Castle Boulevard which are now just jokes for traffic.
Interestingly Intu have now bugged out and sold both Victoria Centre and Broad Marsh, which will raise concerns over whether any Broadmarsh long overdue refurbishment will ever happen.
I agree with Andres though on the good bits
