WITH just over two weeks until the grand opening, the official signs have been installed at the entranceway to the new Westgate Centre. 

The signs went up over the weekend as the finishing touches are put on the £440m shopping centre before it opens to the public on October, 24. 

Workers have been on site daily including at weekends to ensure the major new development is finished on time.

Kit-out has also begun in the John Lewis store, one of the biggest new attractions of the centre which will also feature 100 new shops and 25 new restaurants.

Other stores already announced include Ted Baker, Calvin Klein, H&M, Cath Kidston and Russell & Bromley.
