Exciting new plans have been drawn up to change the look of Rotherham High Street with the demolition of the former Primark building.
The Council has purchased the site using funding from the Towns Fund Accelerator programme and plans could see the building demolished and replaced, in the short term, with a pocket park and a high-quality public space.
Subject to necessary planning consents, longer term plans include developing the site for new high quality residential.

Residents and businesses are invited to view and comment on plans to transform the look of Frederick Street via an online information event this week.
The open spaces on Frederick Street will be redeveloped as part of the Town Centre Masterplan and follow on from the works currently underway on Bridgegate.
The improvement works will include the introduction of a cycle lane as well as new paving, lighting and street furniture. Works are due to commence early 2021.
You can view and comment on the plans online here by 12pm on Sunday 22nd November.
