Brincliffe Towers, Chelsea Park

Does anyone know why there are chickens and pigeons/doves hanging round at the moment? -
Think I know which plot this is, being used as a 'cider orchard'. I noticed someone had strimmed it when I was up earlier today.

OK, so replying to a years' old post here. Just got an address off the land registry. Very difficult to use their search facility as there's no postal address for the allotments. Now writing to two listed owners to ask about renting or buying.

Road resurfacing, Amey & Streets Ahead
hicksy3 replied to ivan edake's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Spookily, the link to Amey'as website where they apparently say it will be done in five years doesn't work. Yet the link saying it was never going to be done in five years does. I definitely remember it being five years from 2012 for all roads to be up to scratch. When facts change like this it's positively Orwellian. -
Shall we have a think what a successful business might do, and then think about what Royal Mail are doing? Because lots of people are getting parcels delivered, they perhaps need to alter their business model to fit what their customers want, rather than the poor service they currently provide. This isn't rocket science, just what successful businesses do. In Royal Mail's case this would be to staff their parcels pick up point so there isn't a 30 minute punishment wait for anyone daring not to fit in with their parcel delivery 'service'.

Could anyone PM me some details of absent owners please? How much do people typically pay rent for these? I've put my name down for a council one behind thethe care home, but it's a small site with all plots looking worked.

Dockless bike sharing scheme to launch in Sheffield
hicksy3 replied to WalkleyIan's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
They didn't operate like a normal company. It wouldn't have cost much at all to send all Sheffield users an e-mail or in app message that they were leaving. Instead we found out through third party news websites. No firm dates given, no nothing. Hardly any bikes left. -
Dockless bike sharing scheme to launch in Sheffield
hicksy3 replied to WalkleyIan's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Hope they keep going- it's handy. But I tried to use one Saturday night and two nearest to train station just weren't there so I gave up. They could be handy on a number of occasions, but when you need one they just aren't there. Nothing official yet to say they're pulling out of Sheffield, so that is definitely filed under rumour and speculation. ---------- Post added 21-06-2018 at 12:47 ---------- Just interested how you can tell that the lock has been disabled but left on; could it be that despite wearing tracksuit bottoms and hooded top they have actually paid for the use of the bike properly? -
I have reported Swinton Street on fixmystreet.com

Just used fixmystreet.com to report fly tipping on Swinton Street, between Chatham Street and Pitsmoor Road. I don't go that way very often. Could someone who does go that way let me know if Amey/Veolia/SCC do clean it up? Fixmystreet do ask if problems have been solved. Posted from Sheffieldforum.co.uk App for Android

The complete lack of support for BBC microcomputer is just incomprehensible..... Anyway, I got them to accept my credit card using a different device, so problem may lie with combination of my card, my phone and the app. Used for first time this morning. Dropped car off for repair on Rutland Road. Two bikes two minutes walk away according to map. Except there weren't. Walk to next bike. Not there either. Walk to next bike. Scan worked, except I didn't know where to enter the code. Lock was missing anyway so I just rode it. Reported it as damaged. When people ride round on ofo bikes without locks on, they aren't necessarily thieves, it's just that it's very difficult indeed to hire one legally and much easier to just grab one with the lock off! This is a great idea, just not sure if ofo are there with the execution of their business plan yet. Posted from Sheffieldforum.co.uk App for Android -
Where is the evidence that he IS qualified? Most reports have an 'about the author's section. Posted from Sheffieldforum.co.uk App for Android
