A consultancy firm published a report today outlining various options for Sheffield’s John Lewis building.<\/p>\n

The Barker\u2019s Pool site has been closed ever since the retail giant abandoned it in July this year. Almost 300 jobs were lost, leaving a void in the centre of the city.<\/span><\/p>\n

Consultancy firm Fourth Street has offered up various options, such as changing the site into flats or even demolishing the building completely. <\/span><\/p>\n

Dan Anderson, the director at the forefront of the project, summarised their findings.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said: \u201cIn our professional judgement, the best option is to remove the building and introduce a civic building at the far end, to frame what could be a fantastic world class public space. <\/span><\/p>\n

“Whether it\u2019s a park, a piazza or plaza, whatever you want to call it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat is only our recommendation, it\u2019s not the council\u2019s decision yet as we now need to discuss this more widely with the public.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

This public consultation will begin early next year, with a number of options on the table. <\/span><\/p>\n

Coun Mazher Iqual, who is in charge of development and regeneration in the city, is excited with what is to come. <\/span><\/p>\n

He said: \u201cThe first starting point for me is, let\u2019s be bold and let\u2019s have a conversation across the city.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d like something iconic there, that says this is what Sheffield is all about.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
