Tommo68 Â Â 10 #13 Posted August 24, 2014 Let's hope they do something about the horrific stench of poo before all the visitors and cyclists are expected to flock to the site.

LumoColor   10 #15 Posted September 20, 2017 Don't think they thought about this one.  I wonder how many accidents will be caused by drivers distracted looking at the "artwork" next to the busy meadow hell junction's at either end of the viaduct.  What next, disco lights on a large poo shaped plastic cover for the Blackburn Meadows treatment works?

dutch   68 #16 Posted September 20, 2017 It sends the wrong picture, message. Makes it look like Sheffield is cracked broken and tied up. Maybe it is and perhaps someone will pass, look and get some incentive to do something about it. It sure represents the state of many of Sheffield's roads.

Extra money has been pledged by Meadowhall's owners and Ikea. Landowners Yorkshire Water and the Canal and River Trust are also backing the scheme together with the city's Cultural Consortium and the Industrial Museums Trust."
