The IKEA in Sheffield thread

[Blackbeard]

Last year this was posted, the lady's husband works for IKEA she claims.

"Sadly, ikea Sheffield, has been put back to 2018 now."

The reason given was that IKEA wanted Greenwich built first but that is now on hold according to the government.

"Greenwich Ikea plans 'on hold' after government intervention"

Some great quotes in that story, including:

 

But the meeting was told customers were also expected to use tram, bus and train.

 

Yeah, good luck getting that double bed or Billy bookcase on the bus.

Billy bookcase on the bus.

I thought exactly the same thing

Objector Neil Parry said the plan would ‘exacerbate health inequalities’ in Tinsley because of its impact on air quality

 

Tinsley residents hit back saying: “Who needs jobs when you will die early?”

 

Director of Public Health Jeremy Wight said:

"Who cares what the residents of Tinsley think anyway?"

"We're going to flatten the place for HS2 soon enough, then they can all sod off.

 

Well it's good to see the council taking charge for once :D

[Blackbeard]

Thank God for that.

Many of their products you can't get in a car let alone on a bus, that's why they offer a delivery service.

Wonder how long it will be before it gets built and opens

Depends what threats that Tinsley Peoples Front carries out:

 

Residents pledged they would ‘fight and win’ against Ikea and called for an independent inquiry

 

Client Earth believed approval would be ‘unlawful’ because it would lead to a breach of EU and UK laws on air quality.

 

Objector Neil Parry said the plan would ‘exacerbate health inequalities’ in Tinsley because of its impact on air quality

 

He said the council would dismiss representations from Client Earth against Ikea ‘at its peril’.

 

I would have thought that the lack of steel works, factories and cooling towers in that area would have made pollution far less today than in the past.

The biggest pollutant in that area is the traffic on the M1, there have been many surveys on it and one idea was to make it a 50 mile an hour zone!

One protester said: ‘You will be hearing from us.”

 

 

But Tinsley residents hit back saying: “Who needs jobs when you will die early?”

 

So could we just kill everyone in Tinsely, knock down their homes and build the Ikea where their rotten corpses lie ?

 

He also said Ikea plan would ‘probably’ cause a small number of ‘additional premature deaths’.

 

Dear me...
