Sheffield Monks

My Mum likes Lidl, the nearest one to her is the one at the bottom of Prince of Wales Road which is too far for her to get to as she doesn't drive and there's no direct bus, however she will be able to get a bus directly into the city centre and back home and she's already said that the Lidl in town will be good for her.

He was driving around Hopefield Avenue and Hopedale Road about 5pm. It was the local PCSO. Perhaps they've had complaints about antisocial behaviour and the police thought a visable presence might deter it.

I've recently got a virgin credit card the app is absolutely useless. I have to keep deleting the app and logging back in. It works for a couple of times and then stops working. I only looked at the reviews on Google play store after I was experiencing problems because I thought it might be my phone but other people have had the same issues.

We've had problems contacting the Council since a family member moved recently and we needed to inform them of a separate matter regarding a change to their details. The only way we managed to get things changed was by contacting our local councillor who then arranged for someone from the council to contact us. It could be worth a try with your council tax issues.

There was one sat outside Mitchell's wine merchants when I went the other week.

I've been paying £103.00 a month for both Gas and Electric on a fixed deal with EDF. I got my bill in August and I was over £115 in credit. My deal was due to run out at the end of this month. EDF wanted £152 for a new fixed rate 2year deal. I had a look at other companies cheapest I could get was £136.00 with OVO this is based on my Gas and Electric usage for the past year. Bearing in mind that I worked from home between January and March this year so I'm hoping that now I'm back in the office full time I won't use as much and my payments may come down.

My comment was a joke! 🙄 Perhaps the location of tramlines does need looking at. Would Norfolk Park be a more suitable location? Is it big enough? It's more central to the city centre which means if people did need to walk into town after it's closer than Hillsborough Park, but also on the tram route and closer to the train station.

Ironically the festival is called Tramlines 😂

I have a book Around Hackenthorpe that he wrote. It's very interesting. He also lived near to my Mum's family home on East Glade at Hackenthorpe.

Although I remember the Falklands war, seeing the Iranian Embassy siege on television, it's difficult to know what I saw and understood then and what I have seen on programme's to mark the anniversary of these events. I do remember clearly though the Lockerbie air disaster, I was watching TV downstairs on my own and my Mum and Dad were decorating their bedroom. A breaking news bulletin came on BBC 1 and I knew it was extremely serious so I went upstairs to tell them what had happened.

There is a litter bin that I walk past everyday. It's a few hundred yards from a row of shops. It is very often full to the point of overflowing. This is because the Council don't empty it everyday, so people do put their rubbish in bins however if a bin is full some people won't take it home and will try to put it in an already full bin which inevitably may end up on the floor. I am always messaging the Council asking them to empty it.

One key issue with this would be the safeguarding of children and young people. When children and young people who attend school we know that they are safe and well. Currently in lockdown students who have social care, are classed as a child in need or have high intervention from Multi Agency Support are classed as vulnerable and are included in the students who need to attend school. Many circumstances in which a young person becomes known to safeguarding agencies is due to issues that become apparent are disclosed in schools.

It appears that the council have created a vicious circle. Older council house or maisonette residents would ideally be housed in these one bed flats when like my MIL the children leave home freeing up a two or three bedroom house for a young family to move into however because the council have put younger people some with and without addiction or single parents (who shouldn't be house in a one bedroom flat) older people don't want to move into areas which have become sink estates or areas where drug use and crime is common place.

My mother in law lives in a one bed flat, it's a block of 6 and when she moved in all the flats were occupied by people 60 or over. My mother in law gave up her 3 bed council house once all the children had left home so that another family could live there. Now she's the only over 60 who lives in the flats, she's nearly 80. The flats are all occupied by youngsters. Over the years she's a wide range of neighbours, most despite being druggies or alcoholics have never bothered her apart from one couple who used to keep her up half the night with noise. I do worry about her living there because you never know who is going to be moved in next and she is getting more vulnerable with every year that passes.

Both myself and my partner work in a school. We are having a quiet Christmas at home with our children this year. We can't risk putting the elderly members of our family at risk. Between us we come into contact with hundreds of children each day. Many our colleagues are doing the same.
