Planner1 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 He lives in Barnsley so he's quite happy for us to pay for it. Funding for large roads projets tends to be allocated on a regional or national basis and it's all taxpayers money anyway, so he would be paying for it.

WeX Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) Sheffield is one of the only cities I have been too where derelict buildings stand in and around the centre. They are a disgrace and any inwould investment should be snapped up with gusto, not sneared at the way SCC seem to do for anything that is not Yorkshire bred.

mrplodge Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I really hope scc dont mess this up, how they can even contemplate turning this down beggars belief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the council could dip into their massive reserves to give this project a helping hand ,and smooth the way for massive inward investment into the city ,not to mention hundreds of new , badly needed jobs.

Clown Shoes Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 They dont seem to struggle to give planning permission when it comes to betting shops, cash convertors & payday loan shops. They are everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algy Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 They dont seem to struggle to give planning permission when it comes to betting shops, cash convertors & payday loan shops. They are everywhere. They don't have any control. Premises are divided into a number of categories for planning regs. Each covers a number of types of premises. You can change use within a category and not need planning permission. So unless you wanted to open one of the above in premises of another category, the Council don't have a say.

They have control over that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deerobe Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 If this goes on much longer I will be too old to go shopping in IKEA or anywhere else for that matter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SportsTrophy Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I very much like the idea of the clones being out of town which leaves the city centre free for small specialist private run businesses. This could make Sheffield city centre a focal point as every European city is basically the same. The main thing that puts people off setting up shop is the cost. Market stalls have been given free to start ups in the past for trial periods. Turning TJ Hughes into a small shop incubation centre could lead to better things.

The clones are out of town in Meadowhall. Its where all the sheep go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
