"I asked Croydon's chief executive, Jon
Rouse, on Wednesday if his council might compulsorily purchase land
from the squabbling owners of the Whitgift Centre. Why? Because they are
stalling the urban equivalent of a heart transplant by Westfield. The Aussie
developer wants to replace the clapped-out centre with a Stratford-sized mall.
"Westfield might even want to build a centre far larger than the Whitgift.
"Hammerson is looking to upgrade its 700,000-square-foot Centrale mall, just
to the west. If you compulsory purchase (CPO) both, Westfield could build a mall even bigger than
Stratford."
