NicDan&Oz   10 #1 Posted February 10, 2017 So a few tents have appeared on the edge of Park Square Roundabout today - does anyone know anything about them? Two larger ones and a couple of small ones. Thought it could be someone homeless at first but they are brand new and all matching which seems a little bit odd???  I know there was some sort of camp going off in Parkhill a while back.  I'm intrigued....

smiggs   10 #2 Posted February 10, 2017 The occupants of Tent City 2: Electric Boogaloo, at Park Hill were evicted just over a week ago, I would not be surprised if this is Tent City 3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
NicDan&Oz   10 #3 Posted February 10, 2017 Ahh. Nothing and nobody in them at the moment. They are wide open to elements. Be surprised if they are still there when it gets darker! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

ey up   10 #9 Posted February 10, 2017 its the same people from park hill, the organiser (i think) has posted about it on facebook, think its in the star aswell but cant find link.  Went past earlier and there were a couple of guys just taking loads of bags inside one of the tents, so definately people staying there  ---------- Post added 10-02-2017 at 21:39 ----------  found the link to the story  http://www.thestar.co.uk/our-towns-and-cities/sheffield/sheffield-s-tent-city-reappears-on-new-roundabout-site-after-evictions-1-8383373 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Bodie   11 #10 Posted February 10, 2017 Mr Cunnigham said the new site had been chosen because it was well lit and covered with CCTV cameras, making it a safe location for occupants and visitors alike. On the edge of an often very busy roundabout is an ideal place is it?  Looking at the pics though............ (hopefully someone will be along with a pic when it's looking busy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

(hopefully someone will be along with a pic when it's looking busy  I too thought it was an odd place to set up camp given their other spaces dotted about.
