It continues: “The regular approach of iden

Areas like mine don’t have a Westfield.

It is interesting, though. You say you are working with organisations like Citizens Advice and that confidence is improving. What did you say—an 82% customer satisfaction rate?

It will only be those who make the effort. Presumably, there is no way of knowing those who do not.
