With new developments taking shape amidst a backdrop of many empty stores, what do you think lies ahead for its future? Have you seen that Sheffield city council want to spend £100k on “wrapping the John Lewis “ building to make it look tidy ….what a waste of money !

Surely spending that money on attracting new tenants to these empty units would be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin C Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Not a chance in Hell sadly. I don't drive (and am fortunate enough to live close enough to the "centre" - despite the unfortunate shift to The Moor). Never happy to go there after around 10am though - at least before that time the "homeless" are still spaced/spiced/zonked/stoned out in their taxpayer funded freebie accommodation so haven't yet claimed their scrounging "pitches" to beg from those that work for a living. Yes, I totally agree that Sheffield is by no means unique in being infested/afflicted by these lowlife oxygen wasters but this is my city and I despair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Grey Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) Fargate is dead......They should close all the shops and turn the street into an area for bars, restaurants and cafes Its a fantastic pedestrianised space that could have outside seating and entertainment spaces which successfully incorporate Chapel Walk for smaller more niche bohemian venues 👍 Edited January 15, 2022 by Jack Grey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneck13 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Used to go into town a lot when I was younger, loved shopping, drinking eating in town, would still love to go but don't feel as safe anymore, knife crime, druggies and pick pockets. Every left right and center, all decent shops gone and busses are a joke, its gonna take a lot of doing up. To get folk going back in regular, Hope it does pick up though im Sheff born and bred and still proud to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wearysmith Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I loathe Sheffield city centre. The most ridiculous one-way/non-way traffic system ever devised. Complete joke. The way to get people in is to open it up to traffic, not exclude it. Parking prices are a joke too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
