mapleboy Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 So no announcement then? Allow me to express my surprise, nay astonishment. No... Wait... Well, you can't rush these things, can you? I guess it takes time to think up some sort of meaningless gobbledy-gook to try to confuse the issue. Not that SCC would ever do that. No... Wait... On the plus side, planner1 will be along shortly to tell me I'm wrong, so it's not all doom and gloom for SCC's flawless plan for the city centre, eh?.

ECCOnoob Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 My my what bitter cyncical people we have on here. The Council has better things to deal with than coming rushing on here to tell all you curtain twitchers what they said. God sake. The deadline was today. Usually its close of business anyway. That was just under 6 hours ago. 6 hours. that's all. Whatever or not has happened did you really expect them to come dashing to the Star or on here to tell everyone. Whatever or not has happened there could be tens, dozens, hundreds of actions that need to be taken. Whatever or not has happened a statement (whenever it comes out) will need to be formally drafted, checked, signed off, approved, sent to the media and published. That takes time. Some people on here need to grow up. Find something else to do with your lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't need any great statement- just a simple confirmation of whether they have held firm and axed Hammerson, or the completion date. Simples! ---------- Post added 04-06-2013 at 09:18 ---------- This weeks Estate Gazette features the Yorkshire Focus, there is an article on Sheffield retail and the Sevenstone and Next saga. It's titled "Home-made Sheffield Pickle". The main points are: The problems Sheffield faces aren't all down to Meadowhall, and the council need to "look in the mirror. "Although Hammerson are shy of saying it, Sheffield city centre rents no longer look high enough to justify ambitious development. In Nov 12 Colliers International estimated their would be a 10% fall in the 12 months following-one of the worst performers in the UK". If a deal is reached between Hammerson and the council construction may start as late at 2017 (18 to 24 months after any new planning application)- this from Hammersons's Peter Cole (coincidentally just after Hammersons Leeds development is completed). Peter Cole also added- 'we are hoping for a conclusion to discussions later this year'. Without an anchor there will be no development. On a positive note Savills say that both the Moor and Sevenstones will happen, "The success of Land Securites' 1m sqft Trinity Leeds has to encourage Hammerson in Sheffield." The 80,000 pre-let mooted for The Moor is Primark. Edited June 4, 2013 by lil-minx92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "curtain twitchers" as you put it can perhaps be a touch vociferous and unrelenting in their criticism of the council (but I think many of their points are not unreasonable). However, surely, surely you don't really think that it's acceptable for a public body to give a date when a statement will be released and then say nothing at all. Not even a statement saying "negotiations are taking longer than expected blah blah" I wouldn't even do that in my own humble work - or at least if I did, I would expect to take flak. When a publicly listed company provides a date on which it will make an announcement, if it doesn't do that the share price of that company will plunge because investors will lose confidence (e.g. APR Energy). Needless to say, it doesn't happen very often So no it's not OK for SCC to give a date and not stick to it. I'd feel that way about anyone I work with - individuals, companies I invest in, and government bodies. Step away from your political bias and perhaps you'll concede they have a point. Expect more from your elected officials! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
