  1. Well the cordons have been lifted. Allegedly a 65 year old man was found with seriuos injouries. The police turned up 12 hours later to seal the area off.
  2. I work in burngreave and the amount of undisirables up on scott road had gotten worse over the past 2 years. Some of the careers dont like walking around there at night.
  3. I don't know whats happened but the bottom tower block of Martin Street and the road that goes up the side of the ponder rosa have been corded off since about 8pm last night. theres 2 squad cars not letting anyone in. my car is inside the corden so i cant get to it. what ever has happened it must be bad.
  4. Why am I trolling? I was told something by a Council rep and I wanted to know if what this person said is TRUE. By the way some of the Tenants have made a complaint about us giving them Christmas cards. I came on here to find out if what we are doing is wrong and I just get slagged off for it. Typical SF.
  5. I have dyslexia and what has that to do with being on a TARA? We get a copy of a tenants levy this tells who pays there Levey and where they live. I send invites to our meetings and I have personally delivered these cards to their flats so I know what ethnicity they are. They are a Patch Officer who typically think they know more than anyone else. Yes we have a Muslim representative he speaks several languages and also translates for us.
  6. I have been part of a Tennent's Association for 10 years and every year we give our Tennent's Christmas cards. Most of our Tennent's are Muslims and I have raised concerns to our Chair about giving these cards to Muslims. Some one on the Council said that it is Illegal to give Christmas cards to Muslim's and I am just wondering if this is true. I can't really find anything online that proves this. Can some one please tell me if this is true. Thanks Kal el
  7. I work at a nursing home in Burnegreave. whilst walking up the road to work I noticed that the road wasn't gritted/cleared but the one nearest to it was. I know its a side street. when I arrived at work I saw an ambulance struggling to drive up the road. Myself and 4 of my colleagues pushed the ambulance to the top of the road and then we gritted the entire street so other ambulances could gain access. The SCC know that there is a nursing home on this road so why wasn't it gritted/cleared. This is putting people at risk. what really upset us was the fact that the locals were stood in their windows watching us grit this road in freezing conditions.
  8. The cladding on my Tower Block has been tested and deemed fit for purpose. so the SCC say.
  9. Did I read that Cllr Dore said that SCC can't afford to replace all cladding and that the original cladding cost £300,000 less. The cladding on our blocks are 23 years old. How do we know if they were up to spec all that time ago. Janet Sharpe told us that the cladding has some sort of fire wall behind it but yet we haven't had any proof of this. She also said that we are to have a sprinkler put into our kitchens. That's all good until some one who is doped up or drunk decides to set it off. ( most of the tenants on our blocks are either doped up or drunk ).
  10. I had a booklet delivered to my flat last week by scc saying that all tower blocks in Sheffield are safe. I think its time someone at the SCC should get the sack the council obliviously has lied and tried to cover this up imo.
  11. I had my tenants meeting last Tuesday. I asked the council rep when these safety checks were done and by whom. I was told that they are done by professional fire safety people, we had the fire service on the blocks testing the risers but nothing else. I also asked the rep why we don't have a proper pact test ie. testing all appliances rather than just the plug sockets and lights. I was told that it would take too long to test everything. after arguing for 5 minutes I was told to shut up and move on to the next issue. we have had our kitchens and bathrooms refurbished and a new electrical system put in. Due to the new system people are finding that they have faulty cookers, fridges. if the council had done proper pact tests we would have known about all these faulty appliances.
  12. They took out the sprinklers to save money, how is that not putting money before people?
  13. The cladding was put up in 1994/5 we have had assurances from SCC saying that the cladding is safe. I have a Tara meeting next week so I will see what the SCC come up with.
  14. I live in a tower block and we have no sprinkler system. we have fire hydrants on every 2nd floor. Today SCC have announced that they will be putting in sprinklers in all SCC flats, they also say that the flats are checked every day this is technically true we have block cleaners who check the stairs and the landings. The Council also say that the flats have regular safety checkups. The last time the fire dept came and did checks was a couple of years ago, the same with the electrical checks. Granted that we have two stairwells. We also have smoke detectors and heat detectors. I sit on my local Tara group committee and have meetings with the council every couple of months. I don't remember any one from the council in any meeting that I have been to in the past 5 years mention anything about any safety checks. Are the council putting profit before people?
  15. They are if you live near the main stage. I will be getting some.
  16. I am the secretary for my local Tara group. I have been having noise problems with my neighbor for the past 2 years. I am keeping a diary and reporting to 101. I'm also being told by 101 that they don't come out unless its serious. I have had interviews with the ASB team and councilors, my neighbor has been issued a notice on numerous occasions. There are also other tenant's reporting the same guy and the EPA have put decibel indicators in tenant's flats above and below. The problem is when the offender calms down the case gets closed until it starts up again. I'm fed up of going to work shattered. its about time the council grew a spine and enforced the section 21 act as they have followed every one of their rules.
  17. This explains why I couldn't get in touch with the police when I tried to report someone kicking my door in the early hours.
  18. What about compansation for the people that live around there. There are a couple of tenants who work nights and will have to put up with this. I myself will be working so I don't have to watch the drunken idiots urinating at the side of the flats as usual.
  19. Sorry if this is in the wrong place. Pexton Grange are having a Summer Fete on the 25.07.15 1-5 pm. raffle bric a brac drinks cake stand tombola books come and have a look. ---------- Post added 21-07-2015 at 18:01 ---------- This has been cancelled until the 15th of August.
  20. a councilor wanted to have a meeting with the tenants but there meeting room is unavailable. I heard there wasa protest at the town hall last week.
  21. I have just been informed that Tramlines wants to come to the Ponderosa Park in Upperthorpe. Why do we have to put up with the Ponda being used for big events every year, surely there are bigger parks to hold these events. For the past 3 years I have had to put up with people using the tower blocks as toilets because of the **** in the Park event that is held there. Now we have to put up with loud music if Tramlines comes. Its not fair to the tenant's who live in the tower blocks and surrounding area. The only people who will profit from this are the council and Tesco.
  22. I was in town on Friday with a couple of friends. We started in the bankers Draft and did most of the pubs from there up to the Swim Inn. We had a brill time in town and there wasn't any trouble. We decided to go back to our local pubs starting with the Star and Garter. After being there for a couple of hours and enjoying some pool some d..ck head decided that he didn't want us there anymore and started a fight, so he got one don't know what happened to the guy who started it be we left unscathed. I wouldn't have minded but this guy opened the pool table for us to play on.
  23. If people don't pay their rent then what are the council supposed to do? This will start to happen more frequently when the universal credit comes in.
  24. I heard two explosions about 5.20, looked out of my window and I can see the fire.
