I know that there are plans to improve/modify the Moor soon and try and bring it "up-market", but can anyone confirm if parts of it are to be demolished entirely, especially at the London Road end?

Don't expect it anytime soon TBH. There is a masterplan and various ideas being thrown around, but nothing firm.

As Tony says a lot of ideas are being considered but so far nothing has been confirmed or isnt likely to be for a couple of years.

As always with Sheffield Master Plans, expect them to happen 20 years after the first drawings.

This could be relevant: I heard a couple of the staff talking and apparently the lease on the Sharps vegetable shop is up this year, after 25 years. Could be handy for the council perhaps?

It is always handy to not have to throw people out, but a CPO would be used regardless for the Moor scheme.

Unforutnately, the length of time and lack of progress is largely down to a crap commercial property market in Sheffield.

My dads company is relocating due to the planned redevelopments of the areas surrounding the moor. The moor centre manager has told us the area behind the moor (earl way) is going to make way for a new shopping and markets district.
