To start with, this week a number of new resources have come online including Property Week’s “Yorkshire News” page and former YP business editor David Parkin’s www.thebusinessdesk.com. Both of which promise to be usefull.

The major news seems to be south of the border. Sheffield has a new ring road, (for more on this, see our earlier post.) Henry Boot has bought a 16 acre site in Rotherham to develop a mixed use scheme. Property week has the full story here. And - Bank of Scotland is funding an £18 million JV between St James Securities and CTP is central Sheffield.

In Leeds, GVA Grimley has restructured with a £40 million investment from Lloyds TSB Development Capital. Yorkshire Post has the story, and the Yorkshire Evening Post has a story that GWC (George Wimpey City) has pulled the plug on the £100 million Green Bank hi rise flats development. 

Other than that, the stories posted throughout the week are all worth a read.

Have a good weekend.
