SCC is giving Sheffield people what Sheffield people want - way to go SCC.  that may be so, there are more living in the centre mainly students, SCC use planning to their own agenda.....loads of people wanted Hooters in Leopold square but that was refused.....in fact the old Hsbc would have been a good site for Hooters:o Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

WallBuilder   10 #11 Posted August 9, 2013 Wasn't Hooters turned down because so many people objected, I doubt that the council were in any way opposed to a successful business opening up but can you imagine the uproar if they'd just ignored the opponents who managed to bring it to the general publics attention Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
