also, council looking at a new live music venue after the council was unable to reach an agreement with the landowner, Rotherham United Football Club on a scheme to repurpose the former Guest & Chrimes foundry as an National / International music venue.

One of the options the council may consider, is redevelopment of Cutlers which they own

"The next heritage site to be looked at is the Cutlers Arms and Alma Tavern, which are now owned by Rotherham Council.

The Westgate / Sheffield Road area is key for the authority's aim of building more residential properties in the town centre as it acquired all land and properties in the location owned by Satnam Urban Regeneration Ltd. This includes the 200 space Westgate Car Park and the two pubs including the derelict Alma Tavern, which has been under the threat of demolition.

Simon Moss, Assistant Director for Planning, Regeneration and Transport at Rotherham Council, said: "The Cutlers is a listed building, with the Alma frontage having the same theme. There is still an option to work with both and pull together a similar scheme. This could be a pragmatic solution, bring the music inside and sound proof the venue, it is a scheme that is possible."

The reason none of those things are there anymore is they were weren't used enough. If they had been they'd still be there. Those days are gone and they aren't coming back.

Forge Island is coming on too, so will be good to have a few places to choose from without having to go across to Sheffield.
Lets be honest there aren't many decent restaurants in town, in fact there aren't many restaurants full stop.
