"The market leader 'Property Week' is asking shopping centre owners to open their doors to 'Big Issue'.

A debate has started on whether shopping centres across the UK should open their doors to our Big Issue vendors. Right now, vendors up and down the country are restricted from sell the magazine in the dry and warm surroundings of shopping centres – but that could soon be a thing of the past.

"Property Week has asked five of the UK’s largest shopping centre owners – British Land, Hammerson, Intu Properties, Land Securities and Westfield — about welcoming Big Issue sellers to trade on their under-cover shopping streets. This is something that The Big Issue has explored for years, only to be met with a general resistance."
