todays Sheffield Star are featuring Page Hall on the front cover - is the curfew thing still in place - looks like it needs bringing into an all day thing...

Sorry, are you wittering on about this article (http://www.sheffieldtoday.net/ViewArticle2.aspx?SectionID=58&ArticleID=831463) on the Sheffield Star website?

POLICE have obtained a curfew and dispersal order to try to bring peace to the troubled Kendray estate.

<snip>

The area of Kendray that will be covered by the curfew and dispersal order is: Calder Crescent, Ash Grove, Leslie Road, Neville Avenue, Laurel Avenue, Birk House Lane, Reginald Road, Raymond Road, Philip Road, Neville Crescent, Don Drive, Birch Road, Gilbert Grove and Ash Grove.

Where is the Kendray estate in relation to Page Hall?

I hope you're not talking out of your backside again, InternetOwl, like you did with the post about Page Hall and Darnall becoming no-go areas for whites :loopy:

I saw something about Page Hall on the front page of the star.

There are some pictures of young lads smashing and setting fire to a car.

I think you will find that the Kendray estate is under Barnsley control and has nothing to do with Page Hall in any way. A google search will give you the correct information.

And as Nightowl apparently lives near Longley as I do should know that this type of wrong news does the area no good .

Soggy.

If you look at the front page of the star there are pictures of young lads smashing up and setting fire to a car in PAGE HALL.

Well then, as much as I hate to do it, I'll have to buy tonight's Sheffield Star.

That'll be two pages of local news, three pages of council spin, and at least 40 pages of adverts.

I'll be interested to see if it really is Page Hall, or the Wensley Estate in Grimesthorpe, which I suppose is only classed as Page Hall if you live in Longley.

Abdul, my cynical friend, if you had tried reading The Star recently I think you will find you are wrong.
Feel free to stand corrected.

Now, Iamme, please don't think I'm assuming you to be a patronising so-and-so, after you labelled me as your friend after your first ever posting, but as you may have gathered, I do all I can to avoid reading the Sheffield Star :)

PS - welcome to the forum :thumbsup:

Thanks for the welcome. Was not trying to be patronising, just friendly.
Still can't understand why you hate The Star though. If you have a look at the forum the vast majority of topics on here are covered - in fact the paper sparks a lot of them, just like this one!
Maybe if you read it you would be in more of a position to complain, 'Don't knock it til you try it' and all that...

Thanks Iamme, I was joking too.

I don't like the Sheffield Star for many reasons - the consistently bad news stories on all parts of North-East Sheffield; balanced only by the consistently pro-City Council editorials.

And there still is too much chaff and not enough wheat.

I know that Sheffield is particularly slow news-wise, and that the Sheffield Star is there to sell papers, but I don't approve of its 'If it bleeds, it leads' outlook.

Tis the nature of the beast I am afraid - bad/shocking news sells papers good news doesn't - and that is down to society not editors!
One of the main problems local newspapers have is that people don't ring up when something good has happened, just bad things - crime, accidents, death, compo claims etc.
If you know of some good things in North East Sheffield - and I am sure there are many - give them a ring... you may be pleasantly surprised!
The column on bus strikes today is quite anti-council, so go grab a copy!

It is Page hall and that lot are scummy criminal chavs in the photo's.
Get them in the stocks and let's throw household rubbish at them during the daylight hours and them leave them overnight to the drunks and vigilantes out there.
Let's see if they'd do it again!

Apology accepted - what else can you expect..

YES IT IS PAGE HALL (RUSHBY/ROBBEY ST.)

N NOT THE WENSLEY ESTATE

LOLZ

Fellow Sheffielders

OK, I've had a read of the paper, and while it looked bad upon first glance, I came up with the following excuses- er, conclusions:

The youths in the pictures are not just bored youths wandering the streets causing trouble, when they should be at college, or work, but are in fact secret undercover traffic wardens; part of Sheffield City Council's plan to remove abandoned, untaxed cars from our streets. If we examine the photographs in order -

1) Undercover traffic wardens contact Police, DVLA and City Council to ensure they've got the right car. (You can imagine the uproar in the South West of the city if they accidentally torched a £40,000 sports car)

2) Youth isn't 'tampering with the bonnet' (Sheffield Star) but is in fact closely examining the number plate - once again checking it's the correct vehicle.

3) Said youth isn't 'jumping on the windscreen' (Sheffield Star again) but is checking whether vehicle has an up-to-date tax disc.

4) Sadly, the vehicle has an anti-tamper device, and starts releasing clouds of grey smoke.

5) The youths (undercover traffic wardens) are forced leave the area quickly, before they are questioned by irate / misinformed residents - remember they're supposed to be undercover agents.

6) Anti-tamper device of vehicle malfunctions, setting car alight.

7, 8 & 9) Aftermath of fire.

So you see, it wasn't a mindless act of vandalsim, but the new way of dealing with irresponsible car owners, and I for one support Sheffield City Council in employing gangs of youths to remove these obstacles from our streets.

And if we examine picures of the car before the attack, you will all see that the windscreen was already smashed, the bonnet and door dented, and the car was sitting on bricks with the wheels removed. It's not unfair to say that the car was probably untaxed and uninsured, and was most certainly a blight on the lives of the good, law-abiding, taxpaying residents of Robey Street.

After this intial success, I can only hope that this Derelict Vehicle Rapid Response program is pushed out citywide, and that all Sheffield residents will no longer have to suffer the terrors of abandoned vehicles on their doorstep.

Sheffield City Council - fighting the evils of abandoned, untaxed vehicles

I did check out Robey Street yesterday and saw no sign of the vehicle, or any other abandoned cars. Obviously, the Derelict Vehicle Rapid Response scheme is beginning to bear fruit!

The summer holidays are traditionally a very slow time for selling newspapers, so I did expect the Star to pad out the story as much as they could.

Other than the pictures, the entire story didn't even fill single column of the paper.

I did like the line '...less then two miles from Sheffield city centre'. Yeah - A pity they forget to add it's up a big mother of a hill.

And thanks for your charming PM by the way. It's good to know I can still get under your skin :)
