Is he definitely still there? Couldn't find the stall when I last ventured down there a few weeks ago. Has it moved, maybe?

The Millowners Arms in Kelham Island do.

The signage for the diversion coming from the Langsett Road direction really isn't great. The sign appears to point down a no entry road. Almost turned down there myself and have seen several others do the same.

Hi Hayley, I was wondering how you arranged this? We are looking for a poodle crossbreed and would certainly consider the rehomng option. However have not seen any up for rehoming through the standard routes (all seem to be Staffys and the like!). Any info would be gratefully received!

Agreed. I sometimes take this route and this particular manouevre is a nightmare when it's busy.

If it's a general metal bar you're after, rather than specifically a scaffolding bar, we used www.themetalstore.co.uk. Was surprisingly cheap.

It's very worrying times for the aquatics clubs that are reliant on the specialist facilities there and have nowhere else to train. Current word is it will remain closed until at least April, by which time it will be too late. Such a shame for the world class and up and coming athletes who train there as well as the coaches that support them.

Thank you

Think it was an old thread that was revived. Perhaps mods could change the title before the pub loses anymore custom?

No actual outdoor pools in Sheffield and most indoor pools still shut. Not a great surprise this is happening.

Lot's of complex factors at the moment that probably will impact numbers of Chinese students (international squabbling over 5G, Covid.....) but will be impossible to unravel them!

Sheffield not mentioned, but clearly this is a wider problem: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jul/15/english-councils-backpedal-on-cycling-schemes-after-tory-backlash I'm not sure politicising this is helpful. Just seems to be a general trend of councils rushing to spend the cash that government are throwing at then without considering the issues properly first.

So just the entertainment venues- no sports centres?

SIV have announced that it is to mothball some of its venues, with staff at risk of redundancy. https://www.thescarboroughnews.co.uk/business/company-runs-scarborough-spa-and-whitby-pavilion-consult-staff-redundancies-scarborough-council-talks-about-easing-their-pressures-2906085 This article is from the Scarborough News website (SIV run the Scarborough Spa and Whitby Pavilion) but the implications seem to be that venues in Sheffield will also be at risk. FlyDSA arena and Sheffield City Hall were certainly mentioned on social media yesterday. It's not clear if the risk extends to the more sports-based facilities, but if they remain closed for much longer then it's certainly possible.

Out of interest, who foots the bill for all this additional work - is it the university or the contractors?
