00:00What do you think about what Sheffield Council's doing with the city centre at the moment?
00:03I'm really sad about it because I worked at Cancer Research for 20 years and they shut us down
00:08and made us into another hotel, so I'm really quite sad about it all.
00:13But it may look better, but walking up the moor, we've been tooting away, it's just a mess.
00:19Keeping cars out of the city centre, it's just ridiculous, they're killing it.
00:23It's not good to get in to Sheffield at the minute, there's a lot of older people, they've just cut this bit out for the bus routes.
00:32And this is the centre of Sheffield, shops in that direction, shops in that direction.
00:36And if you are disabled or if you're older and would need to have the bus, the only option is to drive in and then walk a further area.
00:48So actually, it's probably turning people away more than anything.
00:53I'm not sure of the plans right now, but I walk on foot, so it doesn't really affect me, but I can imagine it's going to affect quite a lot of people.
01:01With them going no cars and bikes and that.
01:06On Business Street, it's a good idea to have an old pedestrian line, get all the fumes out of the city centre.
01:14But as I said, a lot of work they're doing, it seems to be taking them far too long.
01:20But they are employing the local people, definitely.
01:24I think it's a pretty good idea, obviously a lot of what they're going around is helping with just not having as much in the city centre.
01:33Sorting out this with the walking pedestrians and stuff.
01:38It's a pretty nice project.
