Reasonably priced parking at Atkinsons.

Also possible to park elsewhere in the city centre for 5 quid all day

So incompetence by the council and an accusation of misleading the public regarding costs. 

 

Even though it's unverified I'm still very much in the belief that it's true.

Looked busy enough when I walked past today, the food outlets doing a roaring trade but the shops opposite looked shut. On Xmas Eve afternoon.

Let's be honest the whole thing has been a total **** up

An article in today"s Star is worth reading about the fiasco.

Is it this one from the 24th rehashed in the print version, or is it actually a new one?

In short then..

 

Ben Brailsford, lead on the container development at Sheffield City Council, said ........ 

“With this scheme we have come up against a lot of complications and misunderstandings that have caused delays, extra costs and scaling down of the original concept. Of course, this is not what we had planned for, expected or wanted to happen, but we’ve learned an awful lot, and we can take that and use it to make sure this scheme thrives going forward.

 

Well, I'm sure we're all filled with confidence and enthusiasm after that eh?    I wonder what these BLUNDERS have actually cost the people of Sheffield?

In even shorter - We did not look into it properly and are trying to divert blame away from those that caused this embarrassment to the area.
