Our Victorian buildings are disappearing at an alarming rate, so why are more student flats being built in the city centre?

Build them further out and keep whatever old buildings we have left.

Shops are needed, I have to admit, but if Meadowhall hadn’t been built our city centre would have been thriving.

We lost the Rag ’n’ Tag market for what, firstly a temporary car park and now a permanent one.

People who care about our old buildings will have the same worries I’m sure, so please look before you leap, Julie Dore – a vote is a strong weapon.
