00:00 Okay, I think Chapel Walk is obviously a historically important street and I know
00:05 it was known as the Carnaby Street of Sheffield back in the day but it's been
00:10 a bit sad and tired. I think the things that really need to happen are better
00:14 lighting, better signage, there's a lot of empty shops so which is a real shame
00:20 because it's right on the main shopping street so I think encouraging
00:23 people to take up the tenancies there, reduced rents would be an
00:28 amazing boon. Yeah and I think like just pointing people this way, having a lot of
00:33 independent businesses down here would be really nice.
00:38 I should add a fresh paint job and new lights.
00:42 How do you feel when you walk down here?
00:46 It's just a bit dead. It needs new life bringing to it.
00:52 Are you going to any of the shops right now?
00:55 No I'm not.
00:56 You're just using it to?
00:58 Just a shortcut.
00:59 Just get somewhere else.
01:00 Yeah, get to you innit.
01:01 Is there any particular shop you'd like to see?
01:04 Erm...
01:07 No, I don't think so.
01:09 It's got a nice little bakery and that's all it needs.
01:11 You might stop there, yeah.
