Where are the highest points on each hill? Presumably Manor Top is the highest point on that hill. I reckon that the top of Lydgate Lane is the highest point on the "S10" hill (Crookes/ Walkley/ Lodge Moor/ Fulwood etc). What about the others?

Sheffield traffic the slowest moving in the country

Sheffield city council are out to get us. Look North are out to get us. Those trails in the clouds are out to get us. Nothing beats a Sheffield Forum conspiracy theory thread... -
Sheffield traffic the slowest moving in the country
tbtc replied to caparo's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
I was sure that they said "slowest in Yorkshire" on BBC Radio Sheffield this morning - which really isn't news - there are only really two big cities in Yorkshire, so the story is that traffic in Sheffield (with steep hills that stop new roads from being built in some areas) is slower than traffic in Leeds (with an inner city motorway and the M621 a lot closer to the city centre than the M1 is to central Sheffield). Obviously some people queue up to bash SCC at this news, but I think that this says more about them than it does about this non-story. -
There's thousands of multistorey car parking spaces in Sheffield city centre. There's plenty of cheap car parks round the ring road (Kelham Island, for example) offering a day's car parking for the price of a pint of ale. Open lots of free car parking spaces and (apart from being sued by NCP etc), you'll just get the commuters currently paying money each day to park for free - that doesn't attract extra shoppers as all of the free spaces will be occupied before 09:00. The amount of "motorists are victims" threads is just silly.

Have we seen the final death of the Sheffield Markets area.

I love these "class warrior" threads ---------- Post added 23-08-2013 at 23:34 ---------- :hihi: -
Presumably the lack of trams from Halfway to the City Centre has upset the buses (extra passengers etc). But carry on with your vendettas.

Just What Is Sheffield Council Trying To Hide ?
tbtc replied to Penistone999's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
The paranoia on here is always entertaining - will we find out that all of these 40p parking tickets are funding a moon base for SCC? -
...Sheffield City Council allow a small Tesco to open in the city centre... Methinks the council can't win with some moaners.

Well done everyone - you're really playing up to the "tight Yorkshire" stereotype, getting so wound up about paying forty pence What does forty pence buy you these days? Half a Mars Bar? The paranoia about the council on this Forum gets sillier and sillier If I had five kids under ten years old then the last thing I'd be worrying about is a forty pence parking charge - you must be rich if you've had that many kids. -
Judge rules Using parking for revenue is illegal
tbtc replied to Cuey's topic in General Discussions
The point is that if its shown that keeping the roads flowing isn't a "cash cow" for the council (and actually costs them more) then maybe some people will calm down a bit. At the moment there's a lot of guesswork and conspiracy. -

tbtc replied to Cuey's topic in General Discussions
Would the conspiracy theorists calm down a bit if it were shown that the cost of employing all of the staff/ resources/ administration required to keep the roads flowing (and stopping idiots from parking where they are not allowed etc) were greater than the revenue collected from "fines"? Probably not, they'd just find something else to mither about. -
Do people honestly believe that signing petition after petition actually changes anything? Its a waste of time- if they changed anything then we'd have Jeremy Clarkson as Prime Minister (to name one that got hundreds of thousands of signatures and made as little difference as another Jessops one)

Guaranteed there'll be a thousand people signing a petition to keep it running, then (once it gets "saved") they'll go back to their cars and the buses will run fairly empty again like happened with the bus service up Psalter Lane that huge numbers were apparently desperate to keep (but rarely has more than three passengers on it). Plus ca change... (and, yes, Pensioners fill seats but they bring in pennies rather than pounds, so they are no guide to how profitable a bus service is)
