philyyy Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 How often do you go into town? A) To buy things B) To the pub/bar/club C) Theatre/Cinema/Gig etc It seems that many city centres are much busier than ours in an evening, so just wondered. What would encourage you to venture into town more ofte? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jemson Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Not as often as I`d like to. Personally, cheaper car parking and / or cheaper bus fares would encourage me. We used to go in on Sundays because car parking was free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philyyy Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 To be honest some of these car park prices aren't anywhere near as high as i thought they might be. I live close enough to walk in, thankfully though. https://www.sheffield.gov.uk/roads/travel/driving/parking/city-centre.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DnAuK Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I work in town so am here most weekdays! But if you mean socially then I come in roughly every other weekend as, let's face it, Barnsley can only support one night out a week! The other weekend I tend to do Leeds or Huddersfield. Leeds is actually TOO busy at the weekend tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herbalharry Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Non of those. Town doesn't offer anything you can't get elsewhere & there's nowhere to park. The suburbs is where the party is happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never had a night out in Huddersfield as the train times aren't great, maybe one day. ---------- Post added 01-03-2016 at 12:34 ---------- Non of those.

I think that is simple. Leeds is a far more compact town centre with a massive pedestrian precinct which starts directly outside the train station. So people from all the towns around descend on it for a night out. Sheffield's geography and poor planning mean this is not the case. If you are from out of town and you get off a train or a bus at the interchange you are faced with practically nothing. You need to know where to go in advance. And sadly many don't.

Do we just need to sign post people to the right spots? We have about 4 main areas which offer different things for different people. West St, Division St, Kelham Island and The Rest.
