Penistone999 Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 You seem obsessed with Next, Penistone Not obsessed with Next,but i take a keen interest in the council of my home city turning away multi million pound investment and hundreds of new jobs for no good reason other than their obsession with the city center. This council are no good for the future of sheffield , a city that desperately needs new jobs and investment when they turn away anyone who wants to invest and create jobs in an area of the city other than the city center. Sheffield is bigger than just the city center ,and the sooner this stupid council realize that the better . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No User Name Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 No doubt IKEA will be rejected and they will be offered a 2000sq foot unit on Fargate by the council instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why not? If Leeds Market is good enough for M&S I am sure the new Sheffield Market would be good enough for IKEA. http://www.leedsmarkets.co.uk/blog/ms-returns-its-roots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like only me, you and Dawny1970 seem to be bothered. The trouble with many Sheffielders is that they're happy in their rut. They'll all "meh" to the whole business of improving the city. But, dare to criticise Sheffield or compare it to other cities and they're soon out in force with "well why don't you live there then if its so great?"

Clown Shoes Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I have to say that in principle i do agree with what SCC have been trying to do by bringing business in the city centre. But those plans are unrealistic for businesses like an IKEA & a major Next store. Surely common sense has not prevailed and it looks like that the views of some Councillors for whatever reason have gotten in the way of that. High streets are dying all over the country; we should not be turning major businesses & huge business rates away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
