It's something they started doing during lockdown so there wasn't any contact. RM said it was just for the period of lockdown but haven't recinded it. Technically it's fraud. The service the sender paid for is that the recipient signs for the delivery to verify reciept. That service isn't being fulfilled.

Sheffield Taxi Drivers Protest Over Pay Terms

Those that perform better get paid more. Isn't that how the world of work generally operates? -
Sheffield Taxi Drivers Protest Over Pay Terms

I remember when lockdown was announced and support for the self-employed was going to be based on previous tax returns. The most vocal outrage was taxis. -
Sheffield Taxi Drivers Protest Over Pay Terms
Resident replied to SheffieldForum's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
I just find it funny tbh. They're all free to leave Veezu and work for any other firm in the area. Same with the previous protests by the JustEat/Deliveroo crowd. In this instance there appears to be enough of them to quit and start their own firm -
No. Because there never was 'Bedroom Tax' It was a change to how housing benefit is paid. It's based on need not want, as it should be.

Where Should The Tram Extend To?
Resident replied to SheffieldForum's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Trams would be constantly stuck because of all the "park where I please" delivery drivers if it went up Ecclesall Road. -

The 60 mile thing was something I was told by a member of the station staff. There are 2 witness accounts that state that 2 buses left the interchange, one saying they'd seen them side by side on the parkway and another stating that they'd seen 2 of them near Crystal Peaks. I have a feeling that the incident is being downplayed by SYMCA/SPCT. IMO the most bizarre part of the story is that the theives alledgedly took the vehicles back to the bus station. Who in their right mind would cause such significant damage to a vehicle 10 miles away from where it was nicked then risk driving it back given the risk of being seen by plod and stopped. That bit of the story doesn't smell right to me.

Damaged one wasn't there around 9pm last night, though the others were. Haven't been to the bus station tonight so I can't say, There have been instances where buses have been left in bus stations/on the road till late at night but these are ones that usually require being towed back to the depot because they won't move under their own power.

Sheffield Roads Nearly As Bad As In 2011
Resident replied to Delbow's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
It's the same with pretty much all resurfaced roads lately. A case of scrape up the old top layer then stick down a fresh layer without dealing with the issues that caused the surface to deteriorate. -
I'm not 100% that they are being stored there but they were all there last week at 0330, plugged up to the chargers As for the tracking. Of the 52 services operated by South Pennine Community Transport, 13 operated in South Yorkshire, ZERO have live tracking data supplied to BODS, which has been a requirement since 31/12/2020

Images I've posted are from this morning (with the exception of the 3rd one from Streetview) The buses themselves appear to be left in the bus station overnight so the vehicles themselves are very easily accessed. I would hope that they have the usual battery cut out and "ignition" security of normal buses but if you're in the know, easy to start one up. Modern ADLs usually use a "key combination" to start them. I won't divulge further, for security reasons. As for replacement, I would assume one of the derv vans will come back. Interestingly there's no public tracking data available for these electric buses, which is a violation of The Public Service Vehicles (Open Data) (England) Regulations 2020.
