I grew up in Sheffield and lived through the 90’s ‘regeneration’. period when millions were spent in a relatively short period. Supertram, student games, park hill and Hyde park flats, don valley stadium, ponds forge, Meadowhall etc. it’s all now falling to bits and the town centre is a shadow of how I remember it as a kid. Shame because the council really tried. I moved away in 2000 and never looked back. Good if you can find a nice house in Dore near to the Peak District away from the city squalor.

Went to University of Sheffield 1998-2001, have visited about once a year since. On my last visit a couple of weeks ago, I was honestly shocked at how the place has nosedived over about a year. It was just so....grubby.... Happening all over, though. Nottingham- Holy s**t...

Depressing isn't it. You are lucky you got out of here. I am still here.

Grow up, they’re investing millions into regenerating the city centre. Yes the change is slow but it’s happening. Nottinghams been a shit hole for years with no change.
