We've got plenty of bars in Sheffield. I don't really think we need another,
00:04
but if it's all people want, fair enough.
00:08
What would you like to see?
00:10
I'd like to see real shops come back. John Lewis, department stores.
00:17
You know, the things that really brought shoppers to Sheffield.
00:21
What do you think of the city centre at the moment?
00:23
It's a mess. It's been a mess for a long time.
00:27
And to be honest, I don't think the council are doing it any favours.
00:33
There's work underway. Will it bounce back when it's finished?
00:36
No, there's nothing here. There's nothing to come to Sheffield City Centre for.
00:42
In fact, I went looking for an outfit a couple of weeks ago.
00:45
I had to go to Leeds to look at the shops there because there's just nothing here.
00:51
There's too many bars. They're trying to make the city centre too posh and trying to keep all
00:56
the poor people out. There's not enough shops and they've got too many offices and closing too
01:02
many shops down. What was I thinking? There's too many offices and too many flats and they're
01:09
trying to do up St. Helensbury now as well. With the B&M store?
01:14
Yeah, and they're just closing Wickstown as well, down the bottom of the moor.
01:19
So there's too many bars and restaurants, too many eating places to attract the posh people
01:24
and there's no shops. There's basically only Primark and that's all there is really
01:28
in the city centre. It used to be amazing in the 80s. You could get anything anywhere.
01:34
And they knocked the Castle Market down and you could get anything in there. It cost them more
01:39
to knock it down than to rebuild it and redo it. And the new market they've got is rubbish.
01:47
That says it all, I think.
