If that means development agency`s with friends in high places getting the nod so be it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As opposed to the current system of the developer giving all the higher-ups a sizeable back-hander to get things moving. Things wouldn't be in this state if we didn't have an honest, efficient leadership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still , look on the bright side ,sheffield can now look forward to more poundlands , cash converters and Greggs to fill all those empty shops that were set aside for Tombstone.

Jim Hardie Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Whatever the ins and outs of this case, one thing seems self-evident. The delays are slowly killing the city centre. While other places (such as Leeds) march forwards, we lose more ground. It's now going to be at least 4 years until anything opens. When this projected was mooted I was 30 - in 4 years' time I'll be 47. You'll be able to use your bus pass to get to the grand opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andygardener Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Because they haven't got a developer to build the building. That's what Hammerson were going to do. Shops like John Lewis often don't own the store they occupy, they lease it. It's been clear to us "plebs" that Hammerson had no intention of doing anything of the sort for some years. Only the self serving mendacious council (elected and employed) have continued to pretend this farce was anything other than an embarrassing failure of leadership and commercial negotiation by councilors and the so called "officers" of the council who should now be doing the honorable thing with the mess Webley if they had an iota of decency.

AndrewC Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 well thats it, youve swayed me . labour it is for me lets have more of the same I'm not defending labour. I'm no consistent Labour voter. I'm saying blindly voting for the parties who 'aren't Labour' is as dangerous as just voting for them because 'that's who my dad voted for' - an attitude I wholeheartedly agree is stupid.

SheffBloke Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 You and a minority maybe. Its not the minority, you'd be surprised at the number that do this, I know of quite a few that shop in Nottingham, Leeds, Manchester and York rather than in Sheffield and have been for years.

How very dare you Sir! I'll have you know SCC are NEVER wrong. NEVER I tells ya. Well, I say "never" but actually... As for the mess Webley, lets be honest, even with it held to their temple, they're so inept that they'd miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
