Redirects are slighly different to how you create a new one, when compared with the other elements in the store.
Redirects require only a small amount of information therefor the create form is part of the listing page.
In order to create a new redirect first navigate to the redirect listing page. The new re-direct form is part of the listing page, being displayed between the search and the content.
