Further update, doctor sent form in. She wasn't impressed by council's stance, and is stating I should be in receipt of a pass with a carer. That'll teach them.

Maybe the question should be is it too cold for the park

I did ring and told them they had taken no account of my physical problems, and only assessed on my mental health issues, and very loosely. The bloke said I could appeal and someone would ring me. I was rang but didn't hear the phone, and was told on answerphone, that only a psychiatrist is allowed to fill my form in. Considering I had told them I wasn't on the CPA, this new person knew I had no psychiatrist, and is making it impossible for me to appeal, I have a good GP, who is willing to help. I may try the equality act, you mentioned. Thanks

Having tried to renew my mobility bus pass, I have been refused. I have done everything by the book, told them my illnesses, and disabilities. I have an option to appeal, but only if my psychiatrist fills the appeal form in. They have took no notice of my physical ailments, and told me a gp is not allowed to fill the appeal form in. In Rotherham, Barnsley, and Doncaster GP's are allowed to fill bus pass forms in. In Sheffield only CPN's, Psychartrists and physiotherapists are allowed to fill them in. So how does a person without any of the above go on? I have no psychiatrist, no physio, and no cpn, just a gp who understands my conditions, and is quite prepared to sign my appeal, but is not allowed. I'm sure many people have been treated unfairly like this. I am more concerned that Sheffield city council is setting their own parameters and making it impossible for disabled people to get a bus pass to save money.

Is every sex offender a foreigner? Thanks for informing me of this, didn't realise

First bus south Yorkshire, apparently sell a ticket on board any first bus that includes admission to the Yorkshire wildlife park, for £15. Just wondering if anyone has bought one yet and used it successfully. Just worried in case driver doesn't know what I'm on about. Ticket also gives you a First south Yorkshire dayrider ticket included in the price.

tesco use to give clubcard points for you to reuse bags, now they longer do. This would have given people more insentive. End of day though 5p isn't going to change my life, and the money goes to charity anyway.

we had an airport but no one used it! maybe if had better destinations it may have took off. Sheffield the only airport that struggled to take off lol

Thanks, never even thought of the lego shop silly me

If your daughter is working, you will probably end up being better off. If she is on any benefit though I believe her money will be affected. Best thing is to try the benefits calculator on the turn 2 us website

Hi, I got a sticker album for my son, it's LEGO ninjago masters of Spinjitzu. I have no idea where to get stickers from. Any know where I may buy some in Sheffield. Cheers

I had an interesting response from somebody at Tate's travel, who took a lot of time to explain how bad things were getting. He informed me that the original boss, was getting fed up of all the complaints, and he has come back to restore public confidence. They are planning to reduce the number of bus services they run, as they bidded for too many services, and don't have enough busses if one breaks down. He was very apoligetic and sincere, so I have to admire them for taking responsibility and taking time to explain their situation. They did recieve additional investment from some transport company, but instead of money promised they recieved a number of coaches, which as the bloke explained, coaches are of little use to a bus company. I was satisfied with the apoligy and explanation.

How long did you have to wait for the bus?

Surely it would have made more sense to clear it with the school first...At least it would have saved money on such a silly haircut...And people who hide behind human rights, should realise that they are meant to provide people some form of safety from nasty people...not an excuse for dodgy haircuts.

The 96 bus goes near to the sculpture park, and is a ten minute walk from the stop. Traffic may have played a factor, but we did wait an extra 20 minutes, just on the off chance. It doesn't go into the park itself. ---------- Post added 07-09-2015 at 15:45 ---------- I'd like them to know, as they have more clout than me obviously. Thanks
