Blackbeard Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 There are discount stores, Pawn shops, betting shops, fast food outlets in Meadowhall. And in Leeds. Maybe companies are not interested in Sheffield cause its too much ball ache dealing with this council. A council more interested in cycle paths & community centres than job creation. See you and raise you. Sadly community centers and other community activity's are at risk, as a cyclist and motorists I would appreciate more cycle paths. http://www.thestar.co.uk/news/community-centre-on-brink-of-closure-1-6163298 http://www.theguardian.com/society/2013/mar/25/drime-focus-youth-services-cuts http://www.thestar.co.uk/news/sheffield-leisure-centre-closure-threat-1-5298399 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penistone999 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Tell us more orm. Who says we have a bad reputation? Is it just you. How will building a big, blue, furniture warehouse improve our reputation? SCC made a complete ass of themselves over the NEXT home and garden store , and they know it . Their stupidity in rejecting the Next planning application , then further arrogance in wasting thousands of pounds of council tax payers money fighting the appeal tells you all you need to know about this council . Do you think the attempt to block next from opening their new store went un-noticed in other parts of the country. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sibon Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Do you think the attempt to block next from opening their new store went un-noticed in other parts of the country. ? Pretty much, yes. I do believe that a couple of truculent individuals in Barnsley noticed, but their web campaign didn't really gain any ground. Why do you think that IKEA kept on coming back with new proposals?

Vulcan B2 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 So has the new store actually been given the go a head by planners, or just reccommended for approval? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penistone999 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 So has the new store actually been given the go a head by planners, or just reccommended for approval? Recommended for approval ,so there is still every chance the numpties in the town hall will block it forcing IKEA to take it to appeal , the council to squander thousands of pounds of tax payers money trying to defend their stupidity and Ikea to win .

Why do you think that IKEA kept on coming back with new proposals? i think youll find it was noticed and companys know the sheffield council will try and block anything that they dont want . but try and get planning permisson for a school that will cause more traffic than anything .

sgtkate Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 It appears so, but the range will likely have changed in the 3 years that will elapse before it opens. Although they will likely still sell Billy bookcases after the next apocalypse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
