Reporting to police recent disturbance in retail park (8,6)
I believe the answer is:
shopping centre
'disturbance in retail park' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'reporting to police recent' is the wordplay.
'reporting to' becomes 'shopping' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'police' indicates anagramming the letters (police can mean to control or manage).
'recent' anagrammed gives 'centre'.
'shopping'+'centre'='SHOPPING CENTRE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for shopping centre that I've seen before include "mall" , "Place with many retail outlets" , "Marketing complex" , "Where there are many stores" .)
