If you found a magic lamp in the pavement, rubbed it and a council genie popped out and offered you the opportunity to have 3 major changes to Sheffield, what would they be and why?

1) Clean the b***dy streets! - Coz they are filthy!
2) Repair the roads - Coz they've all got holes in!
3) Grit them in winter - Coz they don't!

Cynisism aside.......

1. Move my house closer to the Peak District.

2. Slap a Meadowhall exclusion order on my wife'

3. Street lights that come ON at night and OFF during the day would be nice.

1 - I agree
2 - Holes - or gaps between speed bumps....
3 - be fair, they do grit them! Well the main ones anyway... perhaps a bigger gritting fleet is required so they also get the lower priority roads done every time

Magically finish all the building work super quick so that we can see all these improvments now instead of having to wait until 2006. I would love to see the area around the station complete, the hotel and offices near the Peace Gardens finished and I can't wait to see what the Lepold Street Buildings will look like when they're done.

Extend some sort of light rail system along Ecclesall Road so that I can use it to get to work. Preferably a monorail.

Reduce council tax bills down to more sensible levels - like 500 quid a year for Band A.
