From a study by Marketing Sheffield: <br />"Sheffield City Centre's retail position is also below that of the other eight English Core Cities, ranked 20th in the CACI Retail Footprint and substantially below Meadowhall which is ranked 14th."<br />So perhaps Stocksbridge Zap needs to head for Meadowhall, rather than the city?
