Just another layer of beurocracy to waste even more money.

Have you got a Nuns outfit 😂😂😂

Don't fall for it Pattricia . We know a joke like that, involving a Nun, a Punk-rocker and a homosexual bus conductor. Its HeHasRisen who messaged you pretending to be George Clooney. Although, there would be a few on here, who'd like for you to give him one (With the Cattle Prod 🤣 🤣 🤣 ). Keep safe out there .

Yes, George Clooney just messaged me saying “ Meet me in the bedroom at 10pm and bring the cattle prod ! “

"People perceive, people think, many people claim, decision makers nationally and locally" I wish I was gifted with your God-like powers to divine all this. People like your self with this mindset are the problem, too obsessed with their own self importance to know the difference between democracy and autocracy. Councils are elected to observe the will of the majority electorate, not to steer us, fit us into agendas or get us out of our cars. How about you give us a demonstration of wonderous benefits of these "agendas" by say, cycling up the length of Springvale Road in the teeth of a howling winter gale.

Nope that's not what I'm saying. That's what you're saying. Keep moaning about it though.....you never know it might make a difference

Are the 1,000s of cul-de-sacs that have existed for decades, 'closed'? Or are they perfectly accessible by car, it's just you have to drive out the same way you came in?

The problems that people perceive relate to through traffic using residential streets. People think that through traffic shouldn’t use these streets. They think that the traffic brings safety problems, causes noise and pollution, goes too fast etc, which all affects their enjoyment and use of their streets. Many people claim they don’t walk or cycle because it’s too difficult or dangerous due to the traffic. Many don’t let their children walk or cycle or play in the street for the same reasons. Through traffic is seen as a blight on residential areas and many folk want to see it reduced or eliminated as far as possible. Some people who live in the same streets will perceive that this is all part of modern life and isn’t any problem at all. The decision makers nationally and locally across the country are steering us towards getting more and more people out of their cars, to walk and cycle. It’s the thrust of a lot of government funding. It fits several agendas including carbon reduction, health, obesity etc. It’s been done successfully elsewhere, so there’s no real reason it shouldn’t happen here.

Back to school for you too Rudds. It should be they're.

That is completely untrue. They were asked to visit the internet site and share their views. 12% replied, are you suggesting that this 12% is some kind of majority support ? Why not a simple yes/no question in a returnable envelope or just knock on the door and ask? Crookes has a large elderly (and not internet savvy) population they are underrepresented. Also, how many students - who are short/part time residents were involved. The whole thing was fake. I have to say that the only people who seem to be taking an interest and have actually knocked on my door are the Lib Dems, distinct lack of interest from the other parties.

Crookes is probably the hilliest suburb in Sheffield, it also has virtually no transport links up and down the hills - you have to go via Malin Bridge or town. Additionally, it supports a large elderly (and largely silent/non internet savvy) population. Where then is the logic in choosing this area to implement this scheme, allegedly to encourage cycling and walking ??? Could it be that they realised that when conducting the fake survey, they would achieve their desired aim because the large part-time student population, coupled with the small, but vociferous minority of "incomers" (who think they live in a village) would be a natural fit for the support of it ? What of the residents of what will affectively become the ring roads - School Road, Crookesmoor Road, ect. They will have to cope with much additional traffic and increased pollution levels. What steps are being taken to prevent this ? What measures have been put in place to clear pavements and roads in winter to allow for the increase in walkers and cyclists ? Are extra defibrillators to be positioned on strategic hilltops ?

So you know and understand the problems ? Perhaps you would like to tell me, a long time resident, what the "problems" are and how this insane scheme will solve anything. Apart from idiotic and dangerous parking, a problem which mainly occurs during term time, I don't see any problems.

i don't want to leap straight into blaming Thatcher, but she did stop local councils from running buses. The Government just refused to reverse that. i'm inclined to agree... but parking schemes are another thorny issue...

Pay the price and enjoy. Or bring a cold water flask next time with G&T ice and lemon and enjoy. Yours will be better quality and no need to line up at the bar or argue with other staff. Easier and more peaceful looking for a solution than getting stressed or annoyed about it.

So you can have a go at rolling J for not living there and "understanding the problems" but that doesn't apply to you?

Not closing half of Crookes? How does some one reliant on motor transport travel from say townend street to st Vincents? By going a longer journey on more congested roads.

Is Padders really Ken Bruce .

I bet it'll be somewhere in the T&C's of the tickets you bought. Their venue, their rules. Small quarter of gin in the inside breast pocket and subtlelty next time. But, sorry, I do symathise.

All places I have been I have seen a form of social programming by government and media to brainwash people to believe all sorts of nonsense. UK is only place I have lived where bogus phoney referendums and surveys are used to kick through sickening changes. They should just close that road without hiding behind lies and fake research. Looking at a deeper level of what is happening here in politics even when just closing a road uses excuses like this survey and this is accepted as the standard and way of making decisions I see little difference in politics here vs places like russia where government rules.

Exactly this is a person who thinks rules don't apply to them, there is zero excuses, you are eithier someone who doesn't like rules, incompetent or a moron, Any of them isn't fit for her position.

Can’t wait to see the Link, Parkway, and Scottish Queen turn into gastropubs.
