tzijlstra Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Because we lack the required infrastructure, this includes a fast road to Manchester, own local airport that is accessible, a city environment that can attract global talent and offer them something extra (over the Wetherspoons and pub-meals). We also suffer from a very outdated offering in office space, particular in this medium/large range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommo68 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Leeds is better placed and has far more to offer it would seem. Over the years sheffield has been allowed to and some say it has been encouraged to, it appears, have become increasingly a badly managed run-down wasteland. . .

Blackbeard Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Clarence Dock Leeds is now called Leeds Dock, the original idea was for a retail shopping and Leisure development which was launched in 2008. Unfortunately that idea was a failure now Leeds Dock and the SKY development is the new reincarnation of that site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vague_Boy Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Because our canal basin is an empty hulk? Looking at pictures of the two sites on Google Images it's easy to see why Leeds Basin won out. Just based on purely aesthetic considerations the Leeds site is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
