Of course that's not what happened is it?

I have to laugh at the National Centre of Popular Music. It says it all. It wasn't created by people who knew much about Pop Music and especially the people in Sheffield who created the pop music the city was known for.

Instead the regeneration was taken over by the University, but only to create for their needs.

It should have said "The University's Plan to fill Sheffield with the weirdest hairstyles and colours you can imagine". For that's what you see at the "university" tram stop! 

Last time I was Meadowhall (before covid) it was looking pretty ruff. In need of refurbishment.

Imagine all the money spent on meetings and reports and studies into putting back the rail link through Woodhead. All for NOTHING.

Lord Kerslake seems to be talking a lot but saying nowt . Seems to have done OK though .In early 2015, he was made a life peer, taking the title Baron Kerslake, of Endcliffe in the City of Sheffield
