megsonstheman Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 All this new development would make no difference to me, still wouldn't want to visit the place. Car parking charges prohibitive, policed by over zealous wardens. Beggars, homeless people on almost every street corner. City centre still fails to attract top end retailers, charity shops/betting shops still prevail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And trees for @room0035 Do you know where the Steel for the barrier came from. Which do you think a) a city built on tradition of producing Steel OR b) Norway.

And this is what I am trying to say we need to invest in the city not just tart up the building and build lots of apartment blocks. Sheffield currently offers nothing for business to come here and this is what will make or break the city, the infrastructure is a complete joke. For anyone working in Sheffield in rush hour one accident cripples the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People shop online. City Centres will be for living in moving forward. Living in apartments, with streets like Fargate for bars, restaurants, cafe's Forget shops/retailers. That's not what city centres are for anymore. It's not the 1970's Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not unique to Sheffield nor should homeless people be used as something to mock. I spend a lot of time with Sheffield's homeless people and they're humans that need help not mockery.

Are you walking around the city at the moment can you tell me what is producing more smog the cars or the out of date public transport network. Invest in a new electric bus fleet, making public transport zero carbon, this will bring jobs to local people as well as regenerating the city in a positive way. The £millions it would cost would probably be the same as the new building for the HSBC cost at the top of the moor. We have a city built on water so why don't we use it to generate our electric. No instead we have other peoples waste sent to the incinerator to burn creating more polutions. We could be the first big city to be carbon neutral using our water ways to produce all the electric we need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
