  1. It will take a significant length of time to get this building ready, no matter what company takes on the task. I think the plan is for the lower floors to be ready some time in 2027. But at least something is being done, and progress is being made.
  2. I’m surprised that any WH Smith branches outside stations and airports make any money to be honest, not sure why they keep them open.
  3. She’ll be sadly missed… shame she’s not going for about 18 months, but I expect their new-ish chief executive will be making most of the decisions in the meantime.
  4. The Monki logo means they are destined to always be called MONKL, a bit like the old Gwhat Shop - remember them? I think they were behind Debenhams roughly where the Light cinema is?
  5. Urban Splash then. Hope they make a success of it. https://sheffnews.com/news/cole-brothers-urban-splash-named-as-preferred-bidders-with-plans-to-create-exciting-mixed-use-space/
  6. This page hasn’t been updated since last September, but it does seem to show reliability getting worse each year https://travelsouthyorkshire.com/en-gb/newsupdates/bus-punctuality#Sheffield
  7. I bet someone still stood up and shut the window!
  8. The shelter at that location was demolished when a car crashed into it. I was hoping the pole was a temporary replacement until a new shelter could be installed, but it’s looking more like it will be permanent.
  9. That’s £2.50 until November 2024 by the way, not just for one month
  10. There is one in Nottingham, but I really don’t think we’ll be getting one on Woodseats, partly due to the large Waitrose (one of their biggest stores in the country), and partly due to how badly they are doing financially. Plus, the “Little Waitrose” prices are even higher than the main stores!
  11. I was thinking earlier about the plan to provide free Wi-Fi throughout the city centre. There’s still a website about this but it doesn’t seem to have been updated since 2019. I know they started to install the access points and there was a limited service in a very small area, does anyone know if it’s still going?
  12. The original costs of this project (ÂŁ300,000 later increased to ÂŁ446,000) were met from central government funding via the "Get Britain Building" fund. Has it been stated whether the latest costs will also be met by central government or will the council have to make up the difference? (I know it all comes out of our taxes in one way or another, but local council funds seem to be particularly squeezed at the moment.)
  13. Here's the latest version from The Star : https://www.thestar.co.uk/business/container-park-sheffield-dismantling-costs-shoot-up-to-ps95000-due-to-time-pressures-4030530?fbclid=IwAR0a9Diin3_cfLfWwRg_NmAYcUW3R5nk4LJwOYZ72CLRhsRDHfqprhbxlBw The original operator and the council have "fallen out"! I bet the "secure brownfield site" where the council plan to store them ends up being the old Norton Nurseries, which should technically be part of Graves Park but is used as a general dumping ground instead.
  14. Can anyone confirm whether B road is open or closed? So far we’ve got one for for definitely open and one for definitely closed. I phoned the Hallamshire reception number and they didn’t know (?!) My mum’s got to go there on Friday, she’s getting on a bit and it would help her to know in advance.
