Streetfarce

Saw a white Transit this evening, two guys inside, one got out with a Black Helmet on, trying to steal a bike parked on the street, White Transit,<removed> Got pics and video of it, police informed and said " nothing much we can do " Seriosuly ?? I saw the whole thing, what foiled them apart from the number of people who came out, was the disk lok, they could not roll the bike into the Van. So chain up your bikes people

Theres a good tyre place on Attercliffe Road, Auto Technics, the first place i've ever been where they use a Torque Wrench to do up the bolts, full set of new tyres for a Mondeo was £240. Very nice guys and I'd reccomend all day long

Its a Renault Clio 1.1 first used in 1995, so by any standards its doing very well to still be in regular use.

Im sorry but I saw plenty of poo on Sunday when I was there, plenty. It became impossible to avoid it, so we had to abandon a game of football as the mess was all over the place. Why would anyone make up something so awful and so potentially serious, think of the health risks for young children.

I think the problem is caused by "cry wolf syndrome" The first day the signs went up eveyone shifted their car. Same on day 2, and then when they realised NO work was getting done and they'd moved the cars for nothing, they leave them where they are. So its a classic case of waiting for the evidence, ie the arrival of men, machines and material, before moving it.

Yes that would be great, but dogs are actually banned from a part of the park, where the swings etc are, so that area should in theory be safe for Children to play.

In other words..... Once the council gets involved, there will be manifold ****-ups so basically don't expect to get a decent job done or reasonable accurate information about when and where it will be done. Because it "inevitable" that we cannot expect anything decent from this useless shower !

Yes they should certainly do somethign about it, the owners are absolutely disgusting, most people clear up the mess but obviously a hard core of irresponsible scum don't and they need targeting. there are very real health hazards to anyone coming into contact with the vile mess. The lawmakers and the council try to get people out and getting excercise, but at the same time slap parking charges onto users, and then allow the place to become a giant filthy cess pit. Same applies for Graves park by the sound of it.

M reg renault - probably been abandoned - surprised it still goes

Correct about the tour de France. But the worst road I can think of is at nether Edge, Nether edge road just after the traffic lights at the junction with Machin Bank. This is in absolutely appaling condition but no signs of anything being done. Round here they have stuck ups signs saying they will be resurfacing the troad but they haven't been anywhere near. Think they have bitten off more than they can chew with this job.

Says it all really, was down there at the weekend and there is dog mess everwhere its disgusting. as though the whole end near the cricket pitch is just a huge dog toilet. So please take care with your children down there, and dog owners - you are filthy.......

As andrejuan says above, they can fit these lights with a kind of reflector, so that the light only shines onto the street and not into the windows behind, I have seen a few fitted with these, maybe this is all that you need.

Who ordered them to do it ? I think it was the council

These are a bunch of clowns. Signs up all over the place- no parking, cars will be towed away, for 4 days from 28th November. So far Not one single thing has been done, no sign of any equipment, no men, no materials, nothing. Is there anything this council could organise ??

These are small side roads with little or no through traffic. Should be great to have the cobbles back restored.

In Woodseats I have noticed that they have started to plane off the surface of some of the side roads off Abbey lane, This has revealed almost perfect cobbles below. The question, why can't these cobbles just be restored, its obviously a lot more hard wearing than the tarmac, and more pleasing to the eye. If needed prisoners doing community service could clean them up with wire brushes.

Yes Try Primark, i got one for about 3 or 4 quid, also that Next Clearance place at Meeresbrook, I got one in there as well for not a lot, but the Primark one has done me well for a few years

Dear Sir I am replying to your Freedom of Information Request below How much revenue has been generated from the pay and display machines in each park, in the 12 months since the charges were implemented ? (income figures shown are net after removal of VAT and internal collection charges from the council’s Parking Services) •Graves Park £46,541 •Millhouses Park £32,443 •Hillsborough Park £33,593 How much has it cost to originally implement the system in each Park ? (figures shown include the cost of supplying and fitting ticket machines and signage) •Graves Park £10,850 •Millhouses Park £13,050 •Hillsborough Park £13,580 How many Penalty charge notices have been issued in each park, since the system began operating ? •Graves Park 444 •Millhouses Park 449 •Hillsborough Park 323 Do the sums ...

No they are not, they attend twice a day for the few minutes it takes to walk around the car park. The fines go towards cover parking services costs, which are substantial. If they don't enforce, people will not pay, it's human nature. The pay and display income goes direct to the parks Thats great, what times do they attend twice ??

Nobody gives a monkeys about paying 40p an hour to park, its not like its a fortune. What we do object very strongly to, is that the fine for overstaying by just one minute is £50.00 This could make a big difference to many families. The council wardens are down there all the time, enforcing these fines. The money from fines does not benefit the park, it goes into the council coffers. The council sets up a scheme, that does not benefit the park.

If this is correct then the council have acted illegally. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2382178/500m-tax-drivers-greedy-town-halls-Parking-charges-soar-councils-flout-law.html We need to find out exactly how much the park has benefitted. I haven't seen any changes made since they brought in this awful scheme.

I will take your advice and now, one year in the council "should" have some information. Watch this space.

I think You're exactly Right. And it breeds resentmeant and a severe lack of trust for anything that Planner1 says, which usually turns out to be utter balderdash . . .

Do you think that I know all this information and can churn it out a the drop of a hat? I don't. Only when it suits you eh ?? Please come back with concrete facts, you are always ready to jump into the debate to defend this awful decision. You are "apparently" paid by the council, so we look to you to come back and defend your position with facts and Figures. The figure I came up with was published by the Lib Dems about the appaling waste of money.

Absolute Rubbish ! This council is an expert when it comes to Absolute Rubbish. Can you provide any FACTS whatsoever to back up this assertion ? We were told at the beginning, that the cost of implementing this awful scheme, was £141 K Can you provide a breakdown of the income associated with each park ? The amount of revenue that has been allocated to each park ? And the revenue that has come from Fines in the same period ? I shall not Hold my breath. Wait for the pathetic excuses from Planner 1
