muddycoffee   10 #4 Posted February 3, 2017 moans from people saying that there are far too many hotel rooms in Sheffield without providing any basis for this in fact, and how that part of Sheffield should go back to how it was before....  Probably wants Sheffield City Centre to go back to the 1980s with all the boarded up shops and the stinking subways.

abbeyedges   82 #11 Posted February 3, 2017 For all those complaining about too many hotel bedrooms just remember that at this moment of time 100+ bedroom hotel is being demolished on Charter square.  From the town layout point of view it really does appear as though the council want to keep all retail activity from the bottom of Fargate up to the new Moor market with an obvious spur toward Devonshire Green and the new retail quarter.  This is quite a change for those of us of a certain age who recall the long linear shopping street from the Moor to the Castle Market.  With an Easy hotel and the new Sheffield Hallam University complex in the old GPO I hope that the 'square' of Fitzalan has money allocated to it. So many 'squares' have been tidied and yet that one remains the poor relation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Ghozer   112 #12 Posted February 3, 2017 Good news this. Will also have some new retail space and a gym apparently.
