AndrewC Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 The installation of these crates has managed to encompass the entire reign of a British Prime Minister 😆 Though, you know, for once we can be fair to the Council and say that it wasn't much of a reign... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have any of you ever installed a shipping container in your back garden? No? Well until you have, you're in no position to tell SCC how it should be done! ( I just read something similar to that on here) Well, yes I've installed 3 shipping containers up to now. Not in my back garden but then again Fargate isn't exactly someone's back garden.

Newcastle and London and others have done this. You'd think they'd have a bit of foresight to speak to the councils or companies like STACK to ask what sort of issues and obstacles they'd have to overcome. I would imagine there will have been at least one "fact finding " visit somewhere (all expenses paid of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it started in the local "spoons" then went upmarket till they fell over then got an Uber home - but I could be wrong 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernboy Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 The Star are now suggesting that the containers could be dismantled in the new year. I wonder if it will actually open before it closes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taken down before being started apparently, Four Yorkshiremen sketch lives on 'A contractor working on the £15m revamp of Fargate said they had been told it would be taken down in the New Year, well before they started the project in March' Perhaps Keith Lard could help Edited October 21, 2022 by fools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHasRisen Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I thought it was common knowledge that they were only going to be operational for 12 months? It didnt say WHEN in the New Year.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
