The Moor: redevelopment/regeneration and new Market

[Mr Sheffield 10]

Well the new plans for the market have been given approval, but the work won`t start for a while yet!so I reckon just over a year maybe a year and a half.

Sheffield is in decline. It is on a downward spiral.

Do you get out much? Because compared with most places I visit, Sheffield is looking pretty good. Some shops have gone because of the recession, but most seem to be holding up OK.

 

The Moor is looking a bit poor because of the on-off Sevenstones development, but give it a few years and...

 

Could be worse though - have you seen the enormous hole in the middle of Bradford. And don't even get me started on Rotherham:rant:

[CorkerSWFC 10]

Sheffield City centres looking good??????????????

Where have u been visiting lately beiruit?

[SHANE-D-PAIN 10]

I live in the Centre and, to be honest, it's looking better than ever.

Sure, the Moor has pretty much half shut down due to redevelopment but it was horrendous down there before anyway, almost as bad as the Castle Market area of Town.

 

The rest of Town (Fargate, Orchard Square, Division Street etc.) are looking pretty good lately and sell almost everything you could need to buy, for Christmas anyway.

[CorkerSWFC 10]

Fargate is small in my opinion for a City this size and aint that good, its full of all and sundry because theres hardley anywhere else for people to go to sell or trade.

West street and division street is student based so theres nowt there for me, orchard square is crap and has about 12 shops.

[Satyr 10]

To be honest with you, the Moor was full of crap before they knocked it down anyway, all they did was get rid of a few pound shops. Plenty of other shops elsewhere...

 

But Sheffield city centre is nowhere near as good as other city centres of similar size. We have Meadowhall though

[Darth Vader 10]

According to forecast....

 

[Vague_Boy 10]

have you seen the enormous hole in the middle of Bradford.

 

I thought that WAS Bradford.

 

Fargate is small in my opinion for a City this size and aint that good

 

Take away the phone shops and there's not much left.
