00:00Can you tell me how you'd like to see Sheffield change in the future, please?
00:04I think to keep doing what they're doing, because they're coming up with brilliant ideas and it's a great city.
00:12It's a lovely city and we like it very much. We wouldn't move anywhere else.
00:16Which of those ideas do you like most that they're doing at the moment?
00:19Well, the buildings. Everything's shooting up. Fantastic homes.
00:27I like all the diversity in the city. Lots of nationalities, which is a good thing, I think.
00:34I'd like to bring back more opportunities for young people.
00:37Things like the Sure Start programme was excellent for others with young babies.
00:44And then youth clubs and various other things for young people.
00:48I need to do more on that side, youth clubs.
00:51Could you tell me how you'd like to see Sheffield change in the future?
00:55Probably issues like more funfairs more often.
01:02More funfairs? What about the people you've been helping today?
01:07I mean, more houses or something.
01:10More houses to help the young ones?
01:12Yeah.
01:16Could you tell me how you'd like to see Sheffield change in the future?
01:20Better bus routes, I think, would be a big one.
01:23But other than that, making it more green.
01:25We've got obviously the Peabish Street just round the corner.
01:28More plants and such like that in the town centre would be nice.
01:31And bus routes and bike routes as well, really.
01:36Tell me how you'd like to see Sheffield change in the future?
01:39Investments in areas that need it more.
01:41Down there where the old market is, it just looks a mess, doesn't it?
01:47Tell me how you'd like to see Sheffield change in the future, please.
01:50It would be nice to see Wednesday established in the Premier League, like they used to be.
01:56I always think it was a bit of a poor relation compared to some of the other cities up north.
02:02At the moment, it's still the biggest city in Europe without an airport.
02:06And I think no electrification on the railways and things.
02:10So I think it's lost out a bit compared to some of the big heavy neighbours around about.
02:15Would you like to see those put in place, then, the electrification of the airport?
02:18Well, I think it's not had the investment that some of the others have had.
02:22But I'll tell you what, we've got some decent countryside round here
02:26that a lot of these other places haven't got.
