Councillor Tony Newman, leader of the council, said:
“The merger between Westfield and Unibail-Rodamco is extremely positive news for Croydon and will only have a positive impact on the development planned for our borough.
“The presentation on the merger given to the international market today (see here) features Westfield’s Croydon development as one of the major UK projects for the new group, alongside the extension of Westfield London and the building of new Westfield shopping centres in California and Milan, putting our town alongside some of the best shopping destinations in the world.”
