Indoor shopping centres in small towns have struggled badly in recent years but few are as forlorn as this where all the units are boarded up apart from one which houses Peacehaven Library. The centre was originally opened in 1979 but plans for its demolition were approved in 2023, the intention being to replace it with a Morrisons supermarket, ten smaller retail units and a new library space. As of May 2026, however, no work has begun.
