sheff1johnny Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I have to say the addition of all the new restaurants around the Peace gardens has really added some much needed life to the area. Went to Smoke Barbecue on Sat night and it was superb. I agree the area near the peace gardens is the most improved area in Sheffield, but as a shopping destination Sheffield city centre would be low down in a list of city centres in UK. In terms of restaurants we do probably hold our own in that respect. The council has to look at lowering business rates for the empty shops.

go4it Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Are you seriously suggesting that significant numbers of people will drive four miles to Meadowhall to avoid having to say "no thanks" to a charity collector? Yes. Wow, I think we've discovered the Council's lack of understanding to retail in the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sibon Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Yes. Wow, I think we've discovered the Council's lack of understanding to retail in the city. What? A bloke on an internet forum who isn't bothered about chuggers? There are loads of those around. You do know that Planner1 isn't anything to do with SCC, don't you? Or is this another "Leeds council is Tory" moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had nothing to do with SCC for years. You need to do a bit more research before making yourself look silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parvo Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 am sure this sort of council plan adds to the bland pondshop feel to Sheffield when independent shops are bulldozed http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/the-northerner/2014/oct/23/sheffield-devonshire-quarter-petition-development I've signed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewC Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 What if that building really is in need of replacing, from a structural point of view, as seems to be the suggestion by the experts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scabbydog Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) Are you seriously suggesting that significant numbers of people will drive four miles to Meadowhall to avoid having to say "no thanks" to a charity collector? If the rumours of the parking problems at Crystal Peaks and Meadowhall are to be believed it would seem significant numbers of people avoid the city centre for a whole host of reasons. Perhaps it would be a good idea for our captains of the city to do something about these trends rather than making excuses. Of course if you live in Rotherham or Darnal you have to drive four miles to avoid Meadowhall to get to the City, and if you live in Mosborough you have to drive 4 miles beyond Crystal Peaks to get to the city. Perhaps the planners missed that. Edited March 24, 2015 by Scabbydog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the planners missed that. And what exactly do you think should be done then? Meadowhall and Crystal Peaks are well established out of town shopping centres. People find them convenient and want to shop there. What exactly do you think the " captains of the city " can do about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
