RonJeremy Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Just seen the news on Look North. The council in their amazing and farsighted wisdom have decided to spend a lot of taxpayers' money on regenerating the city centre. Turns out they want to further pedestrianise vast areas and make it more difficult for people to access shops and visit the city. Bright sparks as ever.

I don't know the details, is it Pinstone Street? That seemed to be what they were saying on the short extract I heard on radio Sheffield. If it is, I don't know what they will do with the buses. Toby hit the nail on the head, IMO, when he said that Sheffield is OK for car drivers, words to the effect of "I just park in the Q park and I'm in the city centre".

They killed the Moor when they built the vast red wall at the bottom closing of London Road as a main shopping artery into the centre. They have now decided to take this to the next step . Kill the Street life seems to be the only thing that these so called planners can come up with, Street life needs people and people need cars and buses to get into its centre. Perhaps they should make Sheffield into a vast City Park from the Wicker to the Moorfoot, from Brookhill to Parkhill that will do the trick won't it.

That was definitely the death knell of the city centre!.......the next was Meadowhall! The biggest planning crime ever in this City is the destruction of the historical Market Area. Although that trend has received a slap in the eye by Wilkinsons who are still drawing in customers by the thousands. Soon there will be a vast hole on Exchange Street [that street name eh:hihi:] so as the proper Sheffielders can view a pile of rubble. You could not make it up.

Wazzock Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I have Vegas1, and I know exactly what you mean. People seem to think Sheffield is it's own little bubble that doesn't have the same issues as everywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
