Elements Square, the extension to The Centre in Livingston, which opened in October 2008, helped attract more than 12 million shoppers during 2009.

Alison Niven, director at The Centre, said: "We expected the new extension to increase footfall, but attracting over 12 million shoppers was well ahead of expectations."

The Centre boasts 155 shops.
