Hmmm... Just to make this perfectly clear, Mr Risen... ... no-one on here is blaming any of the businesses involved for this shambles! On the contrary, they have most people's sympathy for how they've been messed around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On their last FB post over 80 people have piled in to have a moan about various things, including bus cuts. Its all a bit odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What in hells name have the bus 'cuts' got to do with the container park - the intelligence of some people leaves a great deal to be desired. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly enough just looked again and the entire post has now been deleted 😳 Maybe they are the ones who have pulled out then 😳 Well if its the irrelevant mass negativity thats made them do it then thats ridiculous.

Martin C Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Richard Eyre, Director of Streetscene and Regulations, has issued a statement after learning that the Fargate containers will not be opening on Monday, October 17, as expected. He said: “I’m extremely disappointed to announce the container park on Fargate will not be opening on Monday as hoped. Unfortunately, our building control teams are awaiting technical information from the operator. Until the outstanding information is received the container park cannot open. This information is national legislation needed for any building and the operator is legally required to provide it before the attraction can be opened to the public. "I know many people have been looking forward to heading down, trying out the food and browsing the independent shops. We are equally as disappointed as many others will be. The structure is built and ready to go and we are really looking forward to welcoming people through the doors. There are some fantastic local independent traders lined up to showcase their businesses and I am certain once open the container park will be one of Sheffield’s top spots.” For info • The Building Control team awaits technical information from the operator. • This is national legislation. • Once this information is received the container park can open. • Sheffield City Council has no control over the operator providing the documents but has been assisting the operator wherever possible. • All the businesses affected have been informed. Sheffield City Council is doing all it can to help the operator get ready to open the doors and showcase some of the amazing local independent traders inside. Once the documents are received an opening date will be agreed. An update will be provided as soon as possible 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've already been informed by one of our 'Forum Experts' that: Quote What has happened in this project is totally commonplace and I really don't see what major 'incompetence' the council has done as others seem to be portraying. Said before and I'll say again, all just seems like a simplistic excuse to do a bit of council bashing. So if everyone could just leave off blaming the council now please and turn their attention to blaming the operator as SCC would clearly like us to. SCC have said it's nowt to do wi them and we should all believe 'em! Let's just allow everyone to continue doing such an excellent job to the best of their abilities... Thank you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
