If the centres are to thrive then Hempstead Valley, like other out of town shopping outlets, should not be expanded. Hempstead Valley is rarely visited by people who do not live in the area. The upstairs community hall is no longer in use which could have been used for more community based activities. There has been a high turnover in tenants of Hempstead Valley over the years and recently charity shops are making inroads. There is nothing wrong in this but this is what happened in the town centres before they died.
