Where Should The Tram Extend To?
Man in Crete replied to SheffieldForum's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
The point is this great suggestion could take a considerable amount of cars etc off the road which surely is the main point of the exercise? r Run properly the good folk of NE Derbyshire might be persuaded to use a park and ride scheme ? -
Correct! Shouldnât the man at the top take responsibility for good or bad outcomesâŠ.or will he point a finger at the minions who clearly failed in this respect ? Are these vehicles insured? If so with/by whom as surely they will have appropriate warranties which need to be complied with âŠ.or the cover is negated? If they are âself insured â maybe the good old rate/tax payer will pay complete b#### up once again by a group of amateurs?

My god the level of sarcasm on here would make Oscar Wilde turn in his grave! As per the usual know it alls miss the point! Of course itâs a criminal offence to complete 2 sets of papers⊠of course the papers hopefully are scannedâŠ.but you miss the point (again) that someone presumably at scc has sent out duplicates not just to me but according to our postie to dozens in the Manor castle ward thereby wasting everyoneâs time and ratepayers money As for telling Scc then first I have a jig saw to finish and second I am sure the council apologists on here will have done that already?

So⊠gert and I now have 2 sets of papers for local and mayors election. Is this another incompetent council officers(s) sending them out twice and what would happen if we filled each set in for a different candidate (s) and returned them ? I suspect many others in our area have the same problemâŠâŠ whatâs to do? No wonder folk complain about vote rigging!

Think you can forget hybrid airships etc! This firm in fact built one in 2016 âŠ.. it crashed on its debut before crashing again one year later and being scrapped. They have failed to build any since and given itâs top speed is 80 mph and a limited capacity then despite the eco thinking which go ahead customers are going to invest âŠ?

Completely agree! Despite unfounded claims above from other posters there is no commercial sense in proceeding currently. A few private jets and âa bit of passengerâ (ha ha)will not be sustainable and in any event those who use go in and out of Gamston . The fact is that due to historic mistakes the 3000 or so folk employed in connection with DSA were put out of work and coppards crew seem intent on ignoring the opportunities which commercial development of the site would bring . The fact Peel took our representatives apart is unfortunate but itâs time to put that down to experience and move on . I predict nothing will change for months / years .
-
How much longer are Coppard and his lackeys going to carry on wasting their time and taxpayers cash on what is a pure vanity project of no commercial sense whatsoever. Much as DSA would be marginally more convenient there remain 3 more realistic alternatives within 90 minutes max. the fact that Peel had the councilâs pants down from the start ( as with Sheffield City) only goes to prove that most councillorâs and a large proportion of their advisors here have little nous between them . Stop the ego trip and concentrate on matters of more relevance etc

Who the hell writes this rubbish that you keep posting? Do you work for the council?

Sheffield Homelessness At All-Time High
Man in Crete replied to SheffieldForum's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Interesting topic but what is not emphatically clear is whether these current âhomelessâ are there because they canât afford to buy/ rent or because there is a city wide shortage of social type housingâŠ.. it seems most are saying the latter? in which case please discuss the impact on availability by the 67000 ish students who now attend our 2 universities? There are around 10000 âforeignâ students and all require accommodation but not for a 12 months period ok some live in residences but a large part rent stock housing or so called apartments. This surely removes those from being available to the aforementioned homeless whatâs the answer ? Well maybe scc should stop had out planning approvals to yet more student housing and instead concentrate on the alleged 4000 homeless? in the words of mr Bassett discuss please! -

Getting To Trades And Labour Club.
Man in Crete replied to Ridgewalk's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
What time of day ? If you follow the instructions above during hours of darkness you will undoubtedly be confronted by the scumbags who inhabit the steel steps be they druggies or riff raff . Despite the cctv installation it can usually be a nightmare for anti social behaviour and one which local councillors have been trying for months to eradicate. Indeed a public meeting was recently convened by councillors at the trades and labour club to see what can be done and there are suggestions roads will be blocked . Personally I would give that route a miss and seek out a bus from the interchange which I believe go up Shrewsbury road and duke street âŠ..drop you at the door. Sorry youâll have to look the numbers up but do not walk after dark! Bad advice! -
Absolute nonsense of a claim fact is as others have said trades vehicleâs are by passing the zone hence for example the ring road is less busy (presumably scc can tell the numbers pre and post scheme) Try some of the alternative routes which are more busy once again scc and itâs officers are missing the phrase cash cow from their propaganda

Police Cctv In Loxley Bottom
Man in Crete replied to Cody's Granddad's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Not necessary on the evidence available to date and in any event the IPCC deals with climate change nowt to do with old bill Think you mean IOPC? so called police cameras do not operate as described and as pointed out earlier the chances are these are operated privately on private land by a security company -
Sheffield Roads Nearly As Bad As In 2011
Man in Crete replied to Delbow's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Indeed! could mr planner enlighten us and confirm there is a long term contract with Amey and that includes attention to so called pot holes? If so then what if anything has changed such they are not so doing ? Did the contract include for cost additions and how can we mere rate payers be sure the council are supervising this contract diligently? -
Winter Weather 2023/2024
Man in Crete replied to Pyrotequila's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Which reminds me ⊠the other day on a certain nether edge Facebook forum a local cafe ,where no doubt all the knitted jumper brigade indulge in kidney bean soup followed by spicy nettle tea ,â invitedâ their clientele to come along and make a SNOWPERSONâŠâŠ I mean wtf ⊠god knows how they decorated that! No wonder this country is in a mess. -
Just an honest opinion whilst they have a difficult job and much is down to opinion having watched football for over 70 years it seems clear to me that the standard of officiating has never been so low both Sheffield teams have suffered with horrendous decision making this season and last night Simon hooper was probably the worst of the lot aided and abetted by the var team. How on earth the tackle on bogle in the lead up to the second goal was not a foul is beyond understanding. After his horror show against Man City then he carried on the momentum. Inconsistent all night and sadly I am coming to the conclusion the premier league is not what it should be and officials are bent âŠâŠor are they all so poor. that said United were much improved and showed more âpassionâ than was evident for weeks ⊠oh for a modern Keith Hackett

Whilst many councillors have no grasp or experience of such matters they seem to rely upon the so called expertise of their council officers many of whom are evidentially unfit for purpose. Itâs high time they were brought to task and where necessary disposed of post haste. Will that happen well no cos weâve seen too many examples of waste and no one pays the price meanwhile the elusive Kate Josephâs is complaining yesterday that government is not subbing our council sufficiently. To coin a phrase what have the romans ( aka k Josephâs) ever done for us? Answer on a fag packet please

Correct me if Iâm wrong but at the outset of chancer buying into swfc wasnât it said more than once he was heading up a consortium? if that is so then aside from all the decisions made could it be that said consortium have said enough is enough and withdrawn finance? or was there no such arrangement and whatever the source money has dried up no one seems to be able to say where money comes from and suggestions he is in property and construction back home seem unproven where does his money come from anyone really know? Maybe mr Bassett knows! that said and rivalries aside I feel sorry for those fans who have a lifetime of support and are having to put up with the current scenario
