Hourly parking rates have gone up...parked on bank street a few weeks ago it cost £0.65p..I parked on bank street today it cost £1.

Well Clive Betts seems to be in favour of IKEA being built in Sheffield....or is he ?

It was beautiful when they moved in - I watched the female taking paint layers off! Clearly the grey isn't to her taste, and she preferred a map of Greenland on the wall..

 

They'll never get their deposit back now though

Thanks for sharing this, although I'm not quite sure that it's a map of greenland any more.

It looks rather rude.

I've just had a quick look at the core strategy link. According to this, the area of the Parkway near Catcliffe (where Woolworths used to be) is outside the strategy area. I didn't realise it was outside Sheffield. Is it Rotherham?

 

Does anyone know what space there is there? I'm surprised Ikea aren't looking around there.

From September I think there will be a large plot of land on Attercliffe common,perhaps that could be used?

I also have a weekly bin collection,although one week they collect a black bin, the next week its a blue bin.

As fas as I can see its still a weekly collection.

This is not about how much councillors get paid.This is about councillors having the courtesy and good manners to listen to what people have to say during a council meeting.

It would seem its an issue for all parties given the report in the Star.

Whether they get paid or not isn't the issue..plain good manners is.

Try Meadowhall...plenty of free parking spaces...you can practise your reverse parking too...all indoors so no need to wrap up either.

Unfortunately it's not a valid comparison as the facilities built for the WSG are still being used. It would be better to compare the WSG loan with a mortgage on a house, once you get a level of equity in your house you can then use that to borrow more for maintenance and extensions.

 

This is what has happened with the WSG loan, it's been used to fund further capital projects.

Julie Dores comparison...not mine

The comparison about paying off the debt to the world student games, and still paying off a loan for a car which has been written off was a good one.

In answer to the OP, I would say yes they are.

Don valley stadium...when will we finish paying for it ?

So to go back to the original post..has anyone actually seen anybody camping in any of the parks in the City.

I'm in Graves park walking the dog most days and haven't seen anybody camping.

Years ago when I had some hair to cut..this was where I went.

Good to see it opening again and good luck to them.

I remember It was also one the few barbers where they used to ask gentlemen if they needed anything for the weekend.

Leeds..its all fur coat and no knickers..that just about sums it up.

As kids we knew it as the 'Kestrels' pitch.

Ahh yes..my memory getting bad..that sign it could have said Kestrels FC.

Yes I remember it..IIRC it was down near the junction with Buntings Nook...I remember a sign nailed to a tree which said ( I think) " Throstles FC".

Not there any more, as housing was built on it. I don't know who owned the pitch.

Hope that helps

Is this a case of the council cutting their (Labour) nose off, to spite the (Tory) face of government.

Given Seb Coe is a well known Conservative its probabaly Labours way of giving a two fingered gesture to him..Olympic and sporting legacy ? Not in Sheffield at the Don Valley stadium.

Well, here's a male that my dad had in his garden. It's sitting about 4 feet from the house!

Wow thanks for the pic Becky...nice to see such a majestic bird close up.

They'll be burning the books next, let me think has that been done before?

Why not build a bonfire with them in the middle of the Don Valley stadium, apparently we can't afford that either.

Many moons ago I went to watch one of the first ever floodlit 20/20 cricket matches down there.

 

I think it was Yorkshire against the rest of the world and whilst they were expecting/hoping for 10,000 to turn up, the actual attendance from memory was closer to 17,000.

 

With 20/20 now being such a major player in the cricket world, is there any mileage in trying to get Yorkshire to play some of their games at DVS? I bet they rarely get 17,000 at Headingley and if 1 or 2 games were played at DVS I'm sure the local public would turn out in numbers to support the team.

I remember going as well, I seem to remember a young Sachin Tendulkar playing for the Rest of the World team.

Thanks for that, so lucky to see such a majestic bird close up like that.

I've had glimpses of a few in Graves park but not from so close a distance.

Ha Ha..confidence in this council ? thats a good one.

Am I the only one that's thinking HS2 won't be coming anywhere near Sheffield given the announcement about the electrification through to Sheffield of the Midland main line earlier this year.

They are hardly the "Ten Bob" sort.

They are proper multimillionaires.

 

Osborne £4.3m

Hunt £4.1m

Cameron £3.2m

Hammond £9m

Hague £2.2m

 

 

But, Hey! We're all in it together!

I agree although I don't have a problem with people being " rich ", its people being greedy that gets me.

Yes it does but as Jack Russell says never let the dream die, my kids are always ribbing me for going on about him, I STILL leave him a bun and glass of milk. (truth)

We always leave a glass of port at ours...and its always gone when we get up in the morning

Cheers mate
