The Westfield Shopping Centre (extension) has the largest trading area, accounting for
33.4% of town centre floor space, dominating all other areas. The “Old Eagle Centre” area,
containing St Peters Mall, the original Eagle Centre and the Eagle Centre Market
accommodates 11.9% of floor space. This means that the joined-up covered mall area of
these two adjacent areas represent 45.3% of Derby’s total retail and service floor space.
The majority of the Normanton Road linear centre is also within the boundaries of
Arboretum. The centre is anchored by the Southgate Retail Park to the north of the centre
and Pak Foods supermarket to the south.
Part of the city centre area of Arboretum, approximately the area with the key evening and
night-time hotspots within the inner ring road, is covered by the Purple Flag Accreditation
Scheme. Benefits of the scheme include a raised profile and an improved public image,
increased visitors, increased expenditure and a more successful mixed-use economy.
