Some places are very green and the hills provide some wonderful views. Sadly the city centre is awful & scruffy. It really isn't Watch the video at the start of this thread Take a look at the photos I"m showing in this thread It really really is not.

What in our city centre is better than the other City's of similar size to our in the North. I'm getting the perception that you hate our city, hate our city centre, dont' agree with any change, moan about every change, don't understand any of it, haven't read anything about what is actually getting built (buildings that I'm showing you photos of that have been built and area being built), and yet you keep posting instead of educating yourself on the actual facts Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 Safe, clean open spaces with new trees planted Anyone walking round Fitzalan Square over the last 20 years should go and walk round it now. Totally totally different vibe altogether. Before it was sketchy and run down and dark. Now look at it. Bright. Open. Safe. Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Mort AMB Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 19 minutes ago, @owlstalk said: This was taken on Thursday. As we sit reading this thread people are building Sheffield. This is down in the Castle Market area looking down towards The Wicker New roads, green walkways being built as we sit reading this thread. People are building it. Today. Right now. Notice the trees too @room0035 This bit is the Grey to Green scheme. It started around West Bar a few years ago and has been extended to link West Bar to Castlegate and Victoria Quays. If/when the plans around the train station happen, it'll be extended down to link to Sheaf Street and over to South Street park, the Cholera Monument. Hopefully they'll go the other way too and link through to Kelham Island. Is that where the old Alexander pub was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're contradicting yourself over and over and over and over No look at what I have said what makes Sheffield unique is the people, the history, the city as it was. Yes redevelopment is needed but to improve the area, bring business to the region, improve the infrastructure to attract manufacturing to the area and create jobs for the people. What is Sheffield famous for.

Look at the work they are doing on derek Dooley way taking out all of the tree in the central reservation replacing them with a third lane than then narrows back to two (causing a bottle neck) near the Tesco, they have actually make the road worse and removed all the trees that were helping to reduce polution They have chopped the tree on Fargate, the moor, near Debenhams, Snig Hill, The hole in the road was filled in for the tram, the peace gardens is now concrete and fountains But not just that in the surrounding areas of the city, wherever they can tarmac has replaced greener. And gasp shock horror get rid of all the mature trees and pollution increases. I am not a tree hugger but I acknowledge the benefit they bring people to their health and they also look a lot nice that street after street of tarmac Plenty of space for a nice patio and some decking. Could chuck in a BBQ in as well. Loads of scope when you think about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New and modern are not words I would describe it. Take a little walk from this to Nursery street two the river Don with yes greenery but the Smell when it rains tell the story of where money should be being spent to Clean up the River than runs through the heart of the city.
