The new leader of Sheffield City Council has called on colleagues to “talk Sheffield up” as he celebrated a list of new developments taking place in the city.
Coun Tom Hunt made the call at a meeting of Sheffield City Council where he spoke about “hugely positive developments” such as the plan for the Cole Brothers store which will “breathe new life back into the much-loved building on Barkers Pool, the Heart of the City developments including the opening of Pounds Park, the significant progress at West Bar and plans for Castlegate”.
He said that developers want to be part of the city. Other schemes he listed included the £100m investment in leisure and entertainment venues across the city at a time when they are closing elsewhere, a new low-carbon neighbourhood to be built at Attercliffe Waterside, Family Hubs that are one-stop shops to support children and young people and the city’s inclusion in Prince William’s Homewards project to reduce homelessness.
