Dragon's Tap at Stag in Rotherham

Don't bank on it. The one near me has gone from strength to strength. If they keep having good beers on people will use it.

It's not an extension, it's a new freestanding building next to the pet store.

Cycling On The Moor Pedestrian Areas
Foot replied to barry-333's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Signage is in place, or at least was. Pedestrianised Area - No Vehicles. -
I was quoting a post that referred to drivers doing 60 in a 40 zone, nobody mentioned 34 in a 30. In my opinion the heavily penalised offence isn't penalised heavily enough.

I see plenty of people using their mobile phones while driving every day............doesn't make it right.

He was reported to have been diagnosed with two brain tumours and lung cancer in recent months. Such a sad loss. He was a great performer. RIP rudeboy

Used to go to quite a few gigs in the early 80's but the majority seemed to be at other venues (Leadmill, Nelson Mandela , Octagon etc) Can remember seeing The Specials, The Jam and Fun Boy Three at Top Rank. I'm sure there must be others.

You can but don't hold your breath......it'll never happen. The high cost just couldn't be justified.

Is your 'expert' opinion on the need for crash barrier based on anything factual, or just an un educated opinion? A lighting column will give much better what? So directing a vehicle back into the traffic flow going in the same direction is worse than a head on conflict with traffic approaching in the opposite direct? Since when have lighting columns been designed to fold? This only applies to expensive passive safe units, which are anything but standard Would you be prepared to put your name to increasing the speed limit without putting into place the relevant safety requirements and be prepared to face the consequences of the first fatality as a result?
-
It would be a ridiculous waste of money more like.
-
Face facts, it's not going to happen. The costs prohibit an increased speed limit above 40mph on dual carriageways.
-
Your opinion is based on what exactly? Any facts or just that it's requirement makes the increased speed limit out of the question.
-
As I mentioned previously, I'm pretty sure increasing the speed limit up to 50 on a dual carriageway would require the installation of crash barrier along the central reservation. Also the street lighting might need upgrading to meet the requirements for a 50mph road as the lighting class for a 40 and 50 speed limit are different. So probably not quite as cheap as sticking up a few 50 roundels, eh?
-
Or the cost implications
-
I believe upping the speed limit would mean having to install crash barriers along the central reserve..........hardly a good use of scarce funds.

Best example of a Sheffield boundary sign
Foot replied to sharpend's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
The one on Bawtry Road, between Brinsworth and Tinsley, isn't bad. It also has a steel reference too. It's just before the Hallam University Sports park -
Beyond belief rotherham council!
Foot replied to helloitsonly's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Of course it would. Maybe less frequently, but it would still happen. -
If the ring road is the boundary then you only have a limited number of access points off the ring road to cover. If you extend the boundary you're introducing umpteen more access points that would need to be covered, and hence increasing the cost considerably. The ring road seems like a sensible option.

Why is the Town Hall not illuminated at night?
Foot replied to lil-minx92's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
You can't just retro-fit an LED lamp into a street lighting unit like you would a table lamp at home. It would mean replacing the whole unit, which wouldn't cost next to nothing. -
My wife and daughter have both had good experiences with Car People. Decent prices and not pushy Had a bad experience with a Fiat dealer at Brinsworth. We paid a £200 refundable deposit to have a car shipped from one of their other dealerships. We'd specified exactly what model, colour, number of doors etc and when it turned up it didn't meet that spec. They did everything possible to not refund our money, excuse after excuse. Then offered us a decent discount on one in our second choice colour but when we went to view it was disgusting inside, filthy and smelly with fag burns in the seats, on the dash and yellow paint on the headlining. In the end I had to go in at a weekend and cause a scene to get our refund, despite being previously been told that they couldn't refund at a weekend cos no financial staff worked weekends.

A public order offence that took place in private. It's the media that's made it public. It was clearly in very very bad taste, but I'm sure the police could be more productive with their time.
