What is Sheffield missing??


Recommended Posts

Fopp !!!!!

 

I don't like Fopp damn it!! I'm a Dapper Dan man.

 

Seriously, I didn't get time to explore Sheffield as much as I'd have liked, but it's got loads going for it if you compare it to somewhere like Sunderland, to much to list in fact. I would say that Sheffield could maybe do with cheaper city centre parking.

One single tourist attraction that brings people in from all over the UK (and don't say the Peak District).

 

Better public transport. An expanded tram system that really serves the region, better link between the rail and bus stations and more buses rerouted into it, a fast rail link to the airport which bears Sheffield's name.

 

A massive iconic pedestrian/cycle bridge from the new park above the station/Park Hill flats right over to Arundel Gate, with steps down to the train platforms, bus station, links to shopping areas below etc.

 

The return of Fopp Records.

 

More decent restaurants in the city centre (and I don't mean on London Road I mean the centre proper) - rather than them all congregating on Ecclesall Road which most visitors never see and which isn't convenient for all Sheffielders to access.

 

More good quality Euro-style public spaces with cafes etc (a la Leopold Sq). Paradise Sq would be lovely for this if we shift all the solicitors and cars out of it.

 

A vibrant ex-industrial bit of town where leftfield/cultural stuff happens at all hours of the day. This should be in the CIQ area (around the Red Lion) if it ever takes off, but Kelham Island too.

 

Some decent city centre shops in big shiny new buildings.

 

A beautiful brand new modern art gallery that would genuinely be worth someone visiting from another city (eg of standard of the Hepworth in Wakefield) rather than the embarrassing ones we have at present.

 

Premier League football.

More public Toilets in the City Centre, and not ones in shops where you're obliged to buy something to use them (I specifically refer to TJ Hughes and the old Co Op).

 

And while I'm at it, there also needs to be more, and cleaner public conveniences in Hillsborough, since they closed the one in the Co Op (cos it kept getting vandalised by the local chav scum) there's no loos in the whole of Hillsborough now, short of walking all the way up to Morrisons or the grotty, horrible Council ones near the Park.

 

What is it with you and public toilets?
