Mark Latham of Urban Splash at the public consultation in Cole Brothers, Sheffield

Transcript

00:00I'm Mark Latham, I'm Regeneration Director at Urban Splash. So what's

00:05happening today is that we're opening up Coal Brothers again for the first time

00:08in a number of years for the public to come in. We've got display boards and

00:13information about our plans, our thoughts, but it's also very much about allowing

00:18people to tell us what they think and what they feel about the future of Coal

00:23Brothers. And it's been, to be honest, it's been great. It's been very busy but it's

00:27been very moving as well. We've had literally people coming in and sort of

00:31almost in tears as they come through the doors again and I know that's because

00:35people really feel so strongly about Coal Brothers and have personal

00:39connections. So that's been brilliant and we've got a stack full of

00:44people's views written down and people can also go online and do it. And we've

00:50also had some commercial businesses come in and talk to us about, you know,

00:54potentially whether there's space for them and their businesses here. So all in

00:59all it's been great. We've got another day tomorrow and then the boards will be

01:03online for quite a bit longer. So it's the start of the conversation with the

01:06city really.
