Penistone999 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 If that is the case, why is the Ikea development recommended for approval? No-one has asked them to site this one in the city centre, so your point is? The council must be taking its eye off the ball as they usually try and force everyone onto the Staples site.

Planner1 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 The council must be taking its eye off the ball as they usually try and force everyone onto the Staples site. So, they suggested the location to Next. Who else have they tried to "force" onto there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Bynnol Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 .....It wasn't Mrs T that killed th steel industry in Sheffield, it was the large, cheap bulk-ore-carrier, and the bulk-steel carrying ships that made it much cheaper to make steel in a lowcost place like India - and land it here for way under half the price of British-procuded steel..... What is the link between the demise of steelmaking in Sheffield from 1979 and bulk ore carriers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmen. Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Oh! Martyn 1949. I am not interested in the least about what your point is, I didn't read further down from where you referred to people as scum. How unkind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narden Dee Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Since 2013 councils can keep a proportion of business rates as well as new rates collected! No they are given a proportion, to say they keep implies wrongly that they decide how much they get. yet again your anti council rant is mistaken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchemist Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 If that is the case, why is the Ikea development recommended for approval? Because even THIS council dont want to look stupid and corrupt a second time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawny1970 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 No they are given a proportion, to say they keep implies wrongly that they decide how much they get. yet again your anti council rant is mistaken And they can keep new business rates, given or keep, it still amounts to council getting a % of the rates, true or not? And its not scc bashing, im quoting facts, tho you dont seem to like that!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 The only reason I can see the council turning it down is a similar plan down south. Down there they're claiming that it will divert further custom from a town centre. If that is the case then they're missing the point - the custom to Sheffield Ikea won't be at the cost of Sheffield city centre, it will be at the cost of Ikea and surrounding businesses of Nottingham and Leeds.

This is the reason John Lewis used for their objection to Ikea then withdrew their objection . It was a pretty stupid objection in the first place.
