tzijlstra Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Can't win if they do nor if they don't. At least they are finally trying to move things on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eater Sundae Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Why do Sheffield council keep getting taken to the cleaners why are paying once again to compulsory purchase property properties that we provided developers the funds to buy a few years ago. There was some council bloke on Radio Sheffield, yesterday morning, claiming that if SCC and the old developers cannot agree a price for the land, then there will be some independent adjudicator who will set it. Due to the turndown in property prices, he expected such a price to be lower than the developer paid for it. Whether it will work out that way, I don't know. It was just his take on it.

Anna Glypta Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Why do Sheffield council keep getting taken to the cleaners why are paying once again to compulsory purchase property properties that we provided developers the funds to buy a few years ago. Is it because they are idiots and only employ incompetents who happen to share their political idiocy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L00b Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 <...>This is where the council have now come unstuck - Hammerson evidently have a contract to build that SCC are trying to break but Hammerson are still exercising their rights under the contract, even though there is very little evidence of expenditure on Hammerson's part.<...>Let me have an (fairly well-) educated guess: the Council did not put in get-out clauses for failure by Hammerson to deliver at milestones? "Public sector and contract negotiations"...Oh, the stories I could tell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 When did you last use the DVS, ormester? They could have been a Rotherham United fan and used it often between 2008-2012?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) There should be some sort of council equivalent to the Recall Bill that has just been brought in for MP's, only to be invoked for the most extreme cases of face-palm-incompetence such as this Sevenstone farce. Its actually gone beyond face palm, we're in bridge pinch territory now http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqwh56v2ua1qzr3qyo1_400.jpg Edited June 11, 2014 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drummer54as Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 8. Can't wait to see the demolition of those listed buildings like the Bethel Chapel. People say Sheffield has no interesting old buildings, that's because there's a regular cycle of knocking them down before they get to be properly old. Fully agree with you here, alot of the buildings they plan to knock down have beautiful character, they just need restoring/revamping. For example the old salvation army citadel, The buildings oposite which create the sort of triangle shape on that corner, and the buildings where henrys bar currently is. Why not incorporate them into the design and get rid of ugly buildings in that area like john lewis and the hotel block above casbah? SCC have an obsesion of clearing away sheffields history. look on 'picturesheffield.org. to see what architecture has been removed and what has replaced it and you will be disgusted.

Blackbeard Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Sevenstones does come with a bit of history. "Biggest step forward’ for Sheffield’s £600m Sevenstone retail site, says Scriven" "The long-delayed Sevenstone scheme was put on hold in 2008 but action needs to be taken before the purchase orders expire in July. Last year Sheffield Council drew up plans for a £20m fund to secure the site, which stretches from Barker’s Pool to Pinstone Street and The Moor, but the Government’s £10m contribution was suspended because of spending cuts. Now Hammerson has agreed to contribute £10m to buy up the land, and will pay the interest on a further £10 that will be funded by council borrowing."
