Local rag with column inches to fill trying to be contraversial. Nothing else.

I am debunking it as an insane idea from a (now) nobody. It's done exactly what the paper wanted though, getting people frothing at the mouth. Well done.

Maybe. It's pie in the sky. I could write in with my ladder to the moon idea, it's as meaningless and as likely to happen as this idea.

You certainly could, and it's because of your childish ideas and comments, that I don't usually respond to you.

Just thought I'd have a day off

It would actually be a good idea ( only for the council )  if it happened.  They spent their money and then started spending somebody else's.

Fortunately,  British Land have got more sense.

Don't bother thanking me   -   I'm not the bloke who writes the Star.

Nice that another of my fans wants to engage with me 😍

Ha Ha    -    you are making yourself look silly again.

I told you that you didn't know how to debate, but just make silly schoolboy comments instead.  So you decide to prove me right.

Back to the thread for me.  You do what you like.

I walked past that beach thing earlier. Considering the amount of space it takes up (most of The Peace Gardens), there is not much for adults, apart from a few deck chairs. I've no objection to them providing things for children, but as a childless, adult woman, I feel I have been over looked. No hard drinks stalls, no music for adults. I pay my council tax, why am I not considered? I was going to sit in the gardens but it seems cramped and unpleasant with what is essentially a children's funfair that has taken over. It's not as though they haven't just opened a new play park at the back end of Division Street.

Why should people from outside of sheffield visiting meadowhall such as the many people from Barnsley and Rotherham pay to improve sheffields city centre?

 

Our money wasting council don't seem to understand that kind of logic at all.

They think the whole world's one big money tree for them.

Story in The Star.  Former director of city centre development,    at Sheffield City Council until 2021,   Mr Nalin Seneviratne   says that -

Shoppers should pay £3 to park at Meadowhall to fund cultural events in Sheffield city centre, 

Nalin Seneviratne believes fees from some of the 24m people who visit the megamall every year could pay to create cultural jobs and boost footfall in the city centre. 

The scheme would create a “true partnership” between co-owner - British Land - and the city council and help them market Sheffield as one.

 

So here's the guy who helped ruin Sheffield  City centre and now want's  Meadowhall to raise the money to help put right all his mistakes,

Not content with ruining the city centre,  he seems to want to ruin Meadowhall as well.

Whatever makes him think that anyone would want a "true partnership" with the gang who have managed to ruin the city.

Meadowhall doesn't need "marketing".  It's already well known and trading successfully,  holding onto retail businesses which the city centre has failed to do.

The council has had a long term policy of discouraging cars into the city centre , which has driven many to Meadowhall.  Now, they think those same motorists should pay a charge to help the city centre which didn't want them.

The owners of Meadowhall say there are no plans to charge for parking.

 

A better idea would just be to either charge a smaller amount - 50p would still generate a lot of revenue.

 

or just increase Meadowhalls rates slightly to generate a bit more revenue for the city.
