I visited Leeds' bustling shopping centre and can't understand why some think the city will become a 'ghost town'

The Trinity Shopping centre, now a staple of Leeds city centre boasting a host of shops, often busy and often crowded is a great place to do your weekend errands.

That's what people used to think until recent weeks and months with some shoppers worrying it will soon be a "ghost town" after a number of businesses upped sticks and moved out. I visited the shopping centre - as I often do even just to pass through in the city. Let's not worry, it's not going to be on UK's Most Abandoned just yet.

I had a look around to see how many shops were closed and I counted them all on one hand. I also spoke to a couple of shoppers to see what they think about the idea it may soon be deserted.
