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.
