Fox Valley shopping centre apologises for inconvenience caused by severe weather

13 March 2023

The recent heavy snow has caused widespread disruption across the South Yorkshire region and Fox Valley shopping centre in Stocksbridge has not been immune to this.

The centre team have worked tirelessly throughout last week keeping the car park and footpaths cleared and well-gritted.

However, there has been damage caused to the building above Snap leading to the team immediately cordoning off the area and preventing access to the building through the main entrances to ensure the safety of the teams and general public.

Contractors, Henry Boot, who built the centre in 2016 immediately attended site and checked the rest of the building for any potential hazards.

As a result the centre’s Independent Quarter, which includes The Works hairdressers, Foxy Nails, Sorelle, Redbrik, Raffina and Hummingbird Bridal was closed and a cordon put in place to protect the general public.

These businesses will remain closed until Friday but will then reopen in time for Mother’s Day weekend. 

The centre team apologises for any inconvenience with Centre Manager for Fox Valley, Claire Reynolds, commenting: “We apologise to our customers for the inconvenience this recent severe weather has caused.

“Our team have reacted as quickly as possible ensuring the safety of our tenants and shoppers and contractors are taking the necessary steps so that businesses can reopen as soon as possible.”

Businesses can be reached by phone or via their websites, whilst the physical stores remain closed:-

Redbrik – browse the market on their website www.redbrik.co.uk 

Raffina – ensure you pay them a visit this weekend 

Sorelle – shop the store online at www.sorellejewellery.co.uk

Hummingbird Bridal Studio – please message the Facebook page to rebook appointments

Foxy Nails - will be open for walk-ins from 9.30am on Friday

The centre is looking forward to a snow free Mother’s Day weekend and to welcoming shoppers as usual to the main part of the centre throughout the week with all businesses open as usual.
