The recent visitor to Sheffield (Stacy) has hit the nail on the head, its a thoroughly depressing state of affairs visiting the once busting city centre, its now a place for students and the days when families came into town are gone.

Sheffield Council are out of touch with the population, they want to tick boxes for clean air without considering what these measures mean to businesses and shoppers, the day is fast arriving when Sheffield will join places like Rotherham another town that’s had the heart ripped out of it and left to die.

I understand that shopping gaits have changed dramatically since the long ago days of the 70s and 80s but there are many towns and cities still in existence that welcome visitors with open arms and give them a good experience.

Sheffield and the dismal council are well on the way to creating a ghost town.
