Shopping centres across the UK have been declining in recent years, as a vicious cycle of store closures and internet shopping have changed consumer habits for good.

With this in mind we would like to hear how your local shopping centre and how you use it have changed over the years.

As well as shopping, shopping centres have long been places to socialise. We would also like to hear about your memories. Do you spend a lot of time there in your childhood? Did you go on a memorable date?

We’d also like to know how you use it now and what facilities there are as well as shops.
