Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.JJB Sports submitted a final draft of its restructuring plan to its lender, Bank of Scotland, yesterday.
The struggling sportswear retailer needs creditors, including landlords, to back its second company voluntary agreement (CVA) in as many years or it is likely go into administration.
The company said it had spoken to landlords accounting for 47 per cent of its annual rent payment but did not say if any had backed the plan.
"With the continued support of all the company's stakeholders, we remain confident we can deliver a successful turnaround," JJB Chairman Mike McTighe said in a statement.
Capital Shopping Centres, the UK's largest shopping centre owner, has said it intends to vote against JJB's restructuring plan.
