The Mall To The Rescue of Itself
To all those who have already or threaten to boycott The Mall because of recent events and discussions, there is some alternative news here.
All five escalators are now operating which means that the "going up" only ground to first floor moving staircase is now full of movement at full speed.
The Mall does have free parking afterall for 120 minutes as The Mall's own extremely convenient outside (the main entrance) parking area is freely available.
Spoke to a couple of retailers within The Mall who seemed unperturbed and say there is plenty of free parking close by for customers to park their vehicles.
