bus man Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) Sheffield council are doing a consultation this week in the old post office in Fitzallen sq regarding the changes to this area. Unfortunatley I can't find any thing on the council website to link to. Changes are Bottom half of Gitzallen square pedestrian precinct Top half two way road for bus and I assume taxi. Demolition of two shops in Arundle gate to allow better pedestrian access to Esperanto Place Reshuffling of bus stops on flat street to allow a 9/10 vehicle taxi rank. The latter will replace the present facility on titzallen sq. Conversion of the current short term via have parking on Pond Hill nr penny black to a taxi rank. Intresting proposals what do others think Edited February 13, 2017 by bus man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horribleblob Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 We're becoming a city of taxi ranks. Better that than a city of rank taxis. Excellent news regarding Fitzalan Square in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEC176 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Fitzalan Square, do you think they will put up a memorial on the building that use to be The Marpels Hotel from the Blitz - 12th December 1940, it is now the cash shop, would be a nice gesture now we have the statue for the Women of Steel.

niallzi Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Fitzallen Square is a horrible place at the minute. Its, dark, dingy and there always seems to be a group of people in the corner next to the steps down to Ponds Forge drinking or doing drugs. Been threatened and semi-ambushed on there just trying to walk down to the interchange on numerous occasions. Needs something desperately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicDan&Oz Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Horrible part of time at the moment, I think anything that the Council do would be an improvement. It's always surrounded with drunks openly smoking drugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEC176 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Has the memorial gone there was one on the building iam sure Not to sure about that, the last time I was in Fitzalan Square passing the present owners of the shop I could not see one I always look at that building my Mother was on duty at the Fire Station on Division Street at the time of the Blitz and she said what a shock it was and it sticks in your mind for people born just after the war, may be it just needs a clean.

geared Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 It's an odd place, some of the buildings there are quite nice, but for some reason right next to them is an utter eyesore. The coral bookies looks like a skanky old shed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
