Fitzalan square regeneration

Recommended Posts

Sheffield council are doing a consultation this week in the old post office in Fitzallen sq regarding the changes to this area. Unfortunatley I can't find any thing on the council website to link to.

 

Changes are

 

Bottom half of Gitzallen square pedestrian precinct

 

Top half two way road for bus and I assume taxi.

 

 

Demolition of two shops in Arundle gate to allow better pedestrian access to Esperanto Place

 

Reshuffling of bus stops on flat street to allow a 9/10 vehicle taxi rank. The latter will replace the present facility on titzallen sq.

 

Conversion of the current short term via have parking on Pond Hill nr penny black to a taxi rank.

 

Intresting proposals what do others think

We're becoming a city of taxi ranks.

Fitzalan Square, do you think they will put up a memorial on the building that use to be The Marpels Hotel from the Blitz - 12th December 1940, it is now the cash shop, would be a nice gesture now we have the statue for the Women of Steel.

Fitzallen Square is a horrible place at the minute.

 

Its, dark, dingy and there always seems to be a group of people in the corner next to the steps down to Ponds Forge drinking or doing drugs. Been threatened and semi-ambushed on there just trying to walk down to the interchange on numerous occasions.

 

Needs something desperately.

Horrible part of time at the moment, I think anything that the Council do would be an improvement.

 

It's always surrounded with drunks openly smoking drugs

Not to sure about that, the last time I was in Fitzalan Square passing the present owners of the shop I could not see one I always look at that building my Mother was on duty at the Fire Station on Division Street at the time of the Blitz and she said what a shock it was and it sticks in your mind for people born just after the war, may be it just needs a clean. :(

It's an odd place, some of the buildings there are quite nice, but for some reason right next to them is an utter eyesore.

 

The coral bookies looks like a skanky old shed.

All for it but 'Pedestrianise' means more seats for the layabouts and dregs of society to lollop on !

I hope they include adequate benches for the druggies and alcoholics to drink and sleep on. Or at least a memorial to their memory.

Well SCC need to do something to pretty it up. The nearby Primark building is to become a hotel and that end of town is swiftly becoming the backside of hell with its empty buildings waiting for demolition. A great show to visitors who can take a tram to nowhere.
