Where does Sheffield go now

[Nijinsky]

How does this great city move forward? Many complain we`ve been left behind by cities the same size. This is true to a certain extent.

 

Expansion is the answer, Rotherham is weak and lacks any direction at all.

Sheffield needs to get off its arris and move forward and conquer.

Is there the will? I think so.

My brother believes we have become a nation of sheep, scared to open our mouths, frightened of saying the wrong thing, even on these forums. he said people just sit back and accept everything.

Rotherham is in a depressed state, they need us. The older ones won`t agree but they come from an era when Rotherham stood tall, it`s now on its knees.

They will vote in Labour again while the whole country gasps in amazement.

"Where does Sheffield go now"?

After Sheerness and before Shenfield, I imagine.

Look at Sheffield City centre which is anti-car and full of cheap tacky shops. Rotherham is slightly better for cars but the same cheap tacky shops which attract cheap tacky customers. They usually walk along constantly spitting on the floor and speaking in a non English language. I, like many ordinary Sheffielders, go to Meadowhall and if I fancy a change I would go to Leeds, Barnsley, Doncaster in that order before Sheffield or Rotherham. I am sick to death of the ignorant people in the city centre spitting on the floor, dragging a gaggle of unruly kids which the tax payer is supporting and barge old people and other pedestrians out of the way. On top of this you have the street drinkers sleeping in doorways which stink of urine, aggressive beggers and don,t even get me started on the smack heads making their way to and from the clinics on Devonshire St, Rockingham, St and Fitzwilliam St. The cops and ambassadors just walk past due to the PC brigade they are scared of offending some tree hugger in case they challenge the people above. Remember Sheffield is the capitol of the Yorkshire Socialist republic, where other cities ( Leeds ) have moved on Sheffield is still stuck in the 70s. Sorry about the rant but you touched a nerve. No decent shop ( Harvey Nics went to Leeds ) will touch Sheffield because it is a dump, the nearest they will come is Meadowhall.

I welcome your views, unlike some who shall remain nameless.

 

Don`t apologise for a rant. That is why I ask the questions.

I don't believe Sheffield is 'stuck in the seventies' as the above member puts it.

 

There's ben lots of re-generation all over Sheffield and it's become modernised.

Leeds and Manchester also has its fair share of beggars, ignorant people, street drinkers. I lived in both!

Meadowhall is part of Sheffield. As I understand it, other cities of comparable size near here, like Leeds and Manchester deindustrialised earlier. Their economies were based on textiles which went way before steel. Consequently they've had much more time to reinvent themselves into financial service hubs. Consequently, much of their shops are based on this 'affluent' customer, who may have moved from London to work up there.

 

I always thought it was such a shame that Sheffield didn't get the northern centre of the BBC like Salford did. Greater Manchester is quite an affluent area, and Sheffield could've really done with the investment. Still what's done is done.
