    FACT Check

    This is not RMBC wasting ratepayers money.

    The money is from the Government's Transforming Cities Fund, part of which was allocated to Sheffield City Region. If Rotherham had turned it down it would have gone to Sheffield, Doncaster or Barnsley.

    I have been as critical of RMBS as anyone over the years but on this issue if you think it is a waste of money blame the government not the council

    This wasn’t intended to be a political post or I’d have put it in the other group.

    It is just some information I came across. There’s plenty of negativity towards the town centre. Spending some money on it can only be a positive thing.

    The third paragraph tells you where the money is coming from.

    This is a good news story. But never fear Scum the usual suspects will spin it.

    Millions being spent on the town centre can only be positive.

    I’m not a cyclist myself but anything to regenerate the town has to be a good thing.

    I don’t enjoy going to the cinema, I’d much rather watch films at home. I don’t enjoy vegan restaurants, trendy coffee shops or musical theatre.

    But if they built or created these things for others rather than more barbers, charity shops and empty buildings then I’m all for it.

    Not all improvements can be bespoke to every individual.
