Newport Road, North Cave, Council issues update on future of Riding of Yorkshire HU15 2NU SHEFFIELD Social Club DAMAGED AFTER FIRE East Tel: 01430 421188 It’s been more than a year since a fire devastated the former Manor Social Club on City Road, destroying the roof and leaving much of the building in an unsafe condition. Since then, Sheffield City Council officers have made numerous attempts to contact the owners of the building to discuss what happens next, but they have been unable engage with them. During this time, the Council has, at a considerable cost, maintained 24-hour security on site owing

to the risks associated with someone seeking to gain entry into the badly damaged and incredibly dangerous building. With the building in such a poor and unsafe state and the lack of communication from the owners, the Council has been left with no option but to begin demolition work on the former social club, starting in early January. “It’s sad to see the condition this once important building to the local community has been left in

following the awful fire earlier this year. Officers from the Council have tried for several months to engage with the owner of the building but without success. Since the fire, we have maintained 24-hour security to prevent people going into what is an incredibly dangerous site. Despite the numerous attempts to engage the owners, sadly, it has come to the point where the City Council needs to act, and demolition of the building is the appropriate option

given the ongoing risks.” - Cllr Ben Miskell, Chair of the Transport, Regeneration and Climate Policy Committee at Sheffield City Council The Council is urging the owners of the building to come forward and

engage with officers on the future of the building and the site as quickly as possible. The Council will also be looking to recover any associated costs in the future including providing the security and demolition of the former social club.
