Goes to show how many non-shoppers were using parking spaces before. As for fewer shoppers - how many were genuine shoppers before?

Or were there a lot of loiterers? I'm sure the new fees have had some impact on those who shop there - but were they the types of customers that City Centre has targeted?  In other words, is City Centre looking at getting as many people in as possible, no matter what they might (or might not) spend?  Or are they trying to make it easier for those who want to spend and are willing to spend $x?  All part of the marketing mix - and it will be interesting to see how it all rolls out.
