The IKEA in Sheffield thread

[Clown Shoes 10]

See you and raise you.

Sadly community centers and other community activity's are at risk, as a cyclist and motorists I would appreciate more cycle paths.

You do have alot of cycle paths. They're called roads.

Tell that to penistone, the roads are for people that pay road tax.

So...is we getting an IKEA or what???

 

Coz I need to buy some stuffs.

It appears so, but the range will likely have changed in the 3 years that will elapse before it opens. Although they will likely still sell Billy bookcases after the next apocalypse.

Last year this was posted, the lady's husband works for IKEA she claims.

"Sadly, ikea Sheffield, has been put back to 2018 now."

The reason given was that IKEA wanted Greenwich built first but that is now on hold according to the government.

"Greenwich Ikea plans 'on hold' after government intervention"

Some great quotes in that story, including:

 

But the meeting was told customers were also expected to use tram, bus and train.

 

Yeah, good luck getting that double bed or Billy bookcase on the bus.

Objector Neil Parry said the plan would ‘exacerbate health inequalities’ in Tinsley because of its impact on air quality

 

Tinsley residents hit back saying: “Who needs jobs when you will die early?”

 

Director of Public Health Jeremy Wight said:

"Who cares what the residents of Tinsley think anyway?"

"We're going to flatten the place for HS2 soon enough, then they can all sod off.

 

Well it's good to see the council taking charge for once :D

[Blackbeard 10]

Thank God for that.

Many of their products you can't get in a car let alone on a bus, that's why they offer a delivery service.

Wonder how long it will be before it gets built and opens

[alchresearch 214]

Depends what threats that Tinsley Peoples Front carries out:

 

Residents pledged they would ‘fight and win’ against Ikea and called for an independent inquiry

 

Client Earth believed approval would be ‘unlawful’ because it would lead to a breach of EU and UK laws on air quality.

 

Objector Neil Parry said the plan would ‘exacerbate health inequalities’ in Tinsley because of its impact on air quality

 

He said the council would dismiss representations from Client Earth against Ikea ‘at its peril’.

 

I would have thought that the lack of steel works, factories and cooling towers in that area would have made pollution far less today than in the past.
