What happened to that idea. It would be ideal, on the ring road, good access. Opposite Herdings Park Tram stop? but surely that would be a useful and sensible use of the land? and the chances of that are???

Perfect place for a hospital and they said years ago that we were going to get one for Sheffield south.

Fredderick 33 #16 Posted January 6, 2022 Owned by the council. They bought it off Homes England some years ago. It’s a future housing site Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

That was proposed back in the 70's when Sheffield had three district health authorities, each proposed to have their own DGH - north (NGH), central (Hallamshire) and south (Norton). Soon afterwards central and south were amalgamated and the plan was shelved - population of Sheffield (now 590k) not big enough to warrant three DGH's - eg Rotherham, Barnsley and Doncaster have one each to serve a population of between 250k (Barnsley) and 310k (Doncaster).

Anna B 1,365 #20 Posted January 10, 2022 Instead of a hospital, what about building a council/NHS run convalescent home to free up hospital beds. Badly needed apparently as many beds are tied up with people recovering but not well enough to go home. Keeping it in council/nhs control means they can access convalescent beds quickly and easily as need arises instead of having to wait for overworked social workers etc to do all the necessary hunting around for places in private care homes, find the funding and do all the paperwork which takes months. Also probably a lot cheaper with funding for care home places coming in at an average of £1,000 a week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
PRESLEY 1,201 #21 Posted January 11, 2022 Didn't this land used to be used by unaficial driving instructors ie family members/freinds giving first time driving lessons, getting them used to the feel of a car without using the public highways. Sure Ive heard Norton areodrome get a mention at some time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

There was a circuit of roads, a roundabout I think also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
