SheffieldForum Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I’m not a fan of council-bashing for the sake of it, but this does seem like a mysterious and convenient set of recent circumstances (not to mention the historic failures of the area, including the last-minute consultation cancellation a few years ago, which still rankles😞 https://nowthenmagazine.com/articles/did-sheffield-council-mislead-campaigners-about-demolition-of-historic-city-centre-building-market-tavern-castlegate Great reporting by Sam Gregory from Now Then and excellent campaigning from Hallamshire Historic Buildings.

The point is that someone at SCC decided to continue with the demolition despite the council agreeing to suspend such action - very reminiscent of certain actions in the other 'mismanaged' topic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
