£1bn Chinese investment in Sheffield


Recommended Posts

What's happening with this - construction seems to have stopped for a good while now?

 

I'm wondering if its some sort of scam. When I told the OH about Chinese investment in Sheffield and investment in Liverpool at the moment she said the same thing happened in her town of Preston a few years ago, then stalled.

Which construction are you referring to exactly?

 

The one next to Aldi with the slipform core about 30m up.

Are we talking about the enormous building that's leaping up next to St Mary's on the ring road? The last time I went past (which was a few weeks ago) it looked like it was well on the way to completion.

I disagree - some of the formwork visible from the road has been up for months.

 

Maybe wrong to say stopped but certainly slow.

You just said its stopped? have you been on site? Do you know what the schedule is?

Do you live round that end of town? I go past it once or twice a week and Ive just thought it was steady progress.

No - I've not been on site but there are indicators that progress isnt what it should be ordinarily.
