Rotherham town centre should have had a modern mall similar to Alhambra in Barnsley or Frenchgate in Doncaster, big name shops would follow and thus bringing extra people. I’m afraid it’s all very late in the day for anything now !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3199919321583468611.post-671727687720880742017-11-13T11:51:54.203+00:002017-11-13T11:51:54.203+00:00Meanwhile,Just up road in Barnsley,at town.with a ...Meanwhile,Just up road in Barnsley,at town.with a smaller population,theyre already constructing new markets,eateries bars,shopping centre,bowling and 13 screen cinema(note even if Forge Island ever happens,theres only a 5 screen planned As usual Rotherham is light years behind everywhere else and even when planned we get small half measures.Rotherham is run.like a small country parish not the major town.of over 260000 it is.Pathetic!Mr mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07193109852713572536noreply@blogger.com
