• Climate – Improving standards for new development to help realise our 2030 net zero ambitions.

Which is code for making it more difficult for drivers of road worthy petrol and diesel cars to travel around. 

👍gotcha

MI5 have highlighted a spy in this saga  , no wonder they are trying to get it removed , sadly a bit too late now me thinks as there are now loads of YouTube videos about it.  I wonder if there are any spies in Sheffield  

As someone who hasn't got 15 grand for a heat pump or another few grand for an electric car and another headache about not having a drive to charge it on  , im delighted to hear this news. Im all for cleaner air in principle but not at the pace and price that  it costs at the moment , i along with many other normal working people just cant afford it, and before someone mentions walking cycling or catching a bus , i do all of that as well , but i like to drive , my car has taken me to many places in a short amount of time that no bus or cycle bike or walking could even do.    

What do people think about some of these proposals ?

https://sheffnews.com/news/new-routemaps-outline-council-s-plans-to-achieve-net-zero-by-2030

A friend of mine works for the council and while in the pub yesterday we were discussing the above link. 

She drives her petrol car to get to and back from work , 9 miles there and 9 miles back , she also uses it to do business driving for the council , she also has caring duties to her parents who frail and now in their 80s and her car is essential to do all of these. She is not a well paid council employee so buying an EV is out of the question for her.  

The thing she is worried about is a little section which is in rout map 1 ,     

• Provide training for Council employees and Councillors -, to ensure everyone is carbon literate and fully engaged on the journey to net zero.

She disagrees with this as she  needs her petrol car to live and to provide caring duties for her parents .

Would the SCC council go down a similar route like some banks have been doing  , and if you don't agree with what they believe , you will be cancelled . 

Or in her case , dismissed ?

My bold. 

 

When Josephs was interviewed on Calendar tonight by Laura Rostron, she was asked directly that given her salary of £190,000 per year & given the fact that she has been suspended on full pay for the last 6 months & that most are suffering economically at moment, "Was she going to hand back some of the salary that she has not actually worked for?" 

 

Josephs' response was to state she would make a voluntary donation to a number of charities but no mention of the actual sum. 

 

I must say watching her apologise, she did come across as less contrite & more caught out. 

I would like to know which charities and how much she has donated to them just to see if she is true to her word.

Some people, especially politicians are very quick to use the word sorry these days and they dont really mean it , its just a word for them to use to try and move on from some scandal , i only belive people are truly sorry when they cough up a decent financial contribution to a needed charity and proove to people that they have done so. Show us this proof Ms Josephs and dont even concider saying its not in the public interest because if you do then people will know exactly what you are and will not give your credibillity  a second chance. You are earning £190,000  a year , some people dont see that in their life time.  

“The decision was made based on the facts at hand and with very careful consideration. The committee acknowledges that Kate has apologised and believes that she feels genuine remorse."

Show us the remorse you feel Ms Josephs and donate the salary that you got while you were sat on your backside to a local Sheffield charity .

The people of Sheffield will then know you mean it and slowly move on but fail to do so and this scandal will follow you around for the rest of your career while you are in office here , and i and many other people Sheffield will keep reminding you of it.  

Even if she does come back and i must admit it now looks like she is , this info btw was from a green and lib dem councilor want her back when i asked them about it , labour objected apparantly , her credibility has now been totally shot down in flames and no one in Sheffield  is ever going to belive a single word she ever says again , this situation she got herself into will linger like a really bad smell for the rest of her career while she is still in post here . I will look to questioning her about it when she gets on her high horse about something us meer mortals should be doing  , i like to make hypocrite squirm especially one that sets rules for others and then breaks them and recieves a police fine for doing so . They dont like it up em Mr Manering ;) 

And still we wait and still she gets paid for doing naff all , how long before we get a decision Terry ? , Is she going to do the same as her tory boss and just ignore the fact she has comitted a criminal offence in pulic office , been fined for it , and just wants it all swept under the carpet and forgoten about  , Yeah , think again , some of us are totally discusted with her behaviour , she should just go now and let the city and the people move on because if she dosent then this bad smell is going to linger longer than a fart in a phone box.      

Have a glance through this , our lovley CEO Kate Josephs certainly hasnt . 

Honesty and integrity my backside.

Well it all seems to be top secret cloke and dagger stuff regarding Kate Josephs dosnt it. The police , the Council all keeping shushy shushy about it . Even an external investigator has been brought in whos name is also shushy shushy is to report back to a cross party comittee and a freedom of Information request to the council is being withheld, with the council arguing that keeping it secret is in the public interest. Oh really , how arrogant , ignorant and deluded these people are  if thats the answer we get form them , they forget time and time again they are there to serve the people of Sheffield in a open and honest manor and not to try and keep us in the dark.             

So 20 fines issued by the police for breaking the law regarding the party gate scandle , i wonder if Kate Joseph was one of the recipients of one of these fines and if so, will she stay or will she go ? . This will show her true integrity is she has recieved one wont it. 

Who the hell is going to trust this woman ever again , The good people of Sheffield certainly wont.  These people dont know what honour is , if they did they would walk straight away after being found out , they always say things like it is an honour to serve the people of Sheffield but that is complete garbage , they are in it for the big fat pay cheque they get, we know it and they know it , still , i know there are quite a few people looking forward to questioning her in public about it if she does keep her position , will make for some interesting youtube clips me thinks , i can see the titles now . how to make a CEO squirm :) .        

Why is it these muppets at the top always think that by saying sorry it will make everything all better again . WRONG . If i would have done this stunt in my job i would been sacked on the spot. Time to go for both Josephs and Boris , you need to follow the rules as well. Show us how sorry you both really are and go, us grass root Sheffielders will not forgive you for this. 

Well I have just been told by a freind of mine it looks like we are going to have a two tier society and im totally disgusted.

 He has told me that councils in England  are not interested in helping people who live on council estates in this matter as it is going to be to expencive for them and they want to reduce the amount of traffic on the roads and by not instaling a reasonable amount of charging points on estates is a perfect way of going about it as they are pushing for more people to walk , cycle or use the bus. So if this is true , then peoples choice of wanting to use an electric car who would like to charge it at home but cant will be scupperd. So is this a crafty devious stealth way that councils are going to do this  Hmmmm ?  

 I would like to ask the good people of Sheffield the following question.

I would like to buy an electric car but sadly i do not have a driveway on my council bought house so i cannot charge it on my property. 

I dont think i will be allowed to trail a cable over a public walkway because that would be a trip hazzard.

I  rent a council garage though and i was wondering if the council will be fitting them in the garages  that they rent to people or grant permission for one to be fitted.

Also will the council be providing charge points in council estate parking areas or again grant permission for them to be put there.

I ask these questions as it is not going to be long now before we say goodbuy to petrol and diesel vehicles and im sure there are a lot of people in Sheffield who prefer driving a vehicle instead of walking , cycling and catching a bus.  And without creating a two tier society with the people who have driveways and the ones who dont.

I know there will be some people who will say it will keep you fit to walk cycle ect , but i keep fit by running weight lifting and boxing. I just do not want the choice being taken away from me not to be able to drive a electric car just because i dont have my own driveway to charge it on.  

Thanks for reading :)

I'd  go and get a proper bit of legal advice if I were you, ideally from someone who specialises in this sort of thing. I'll see if I can dig out who mother used but it was a few years back.

Thank you.

Anyone who is carer should register with https://sheffieldcarers.org.uk/  as they are a mine of information and help.  They are nothing to do with the Council, social workers or the government. I registered with them years ago when I had caring responsibilities - I still do have them - and they really can offer good advice.  

I would also think about Power of Attorney if you have not already dealt with this so long as your mother in law is capable of making her own decisions.  Anyone approaching a certain age should make one.  If it is straightforward you do not need a solicitor unless it is complicated.  

https://www.gov.uk/power-of-attorney  I made my own which is not in practice yet but anytime I feel it needs to be I can had over responsibility for my financial affairs and Health and Care to my appointed attorneys.    

Thank you.

 My guess is assets  are assets were ever they are ; You can always phone and ask before any one comes tell them its a general inquiry they will tell you

 

Thank you for your reply . Who do i need to ask regarding the property in the Republic Of Ireland ?

Before she leaves hospital ask for a Continuing Health Care Assessment. This is for people who have primary health needs. If she meets the criteria she would be funded by the health authority. If her needs are classed as social then she would be placed in a residential home and this is means tested. She might be entitled to up to six weeks free care following discharge to a care facility - link. 
 

If she wants to go home you could ask about community services. They can’t provide 24 hour care but it might be possible  with private carers and family support. 
 

There is more information on the AgeUK and CarersUK websites, among others. 

Thank you for your reply and the link. 

We have been told by the OT team at the NGH that my Mother in law will sadly now have to go into 24hr care , as she is now unable to look after herself.

 She has a home in England and another home in the Republic of Ireland.

Will her home in the Republic Of Ireland be classed as assets to go towards paying for her care fees or is it exempt as it is not in the British Isles ?

Any info would greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your replys of help everybody , it is much appreciated.

I have bought some rat poison today and we shall seen what happens in a few weeks after i set the bait .

I have also heard that bleach is very good as the rats dont like it.

We shall also be contacting the police as the neighbours pile of wood rubbish is pushing over my mother in laws privit and this needs to stop before the weight of them completely pushes over her hedge.

We have also drafted up some leaflets to let all of her other neighbours know about this problem and have asked if they also contact enviromental heath and there local councelor regarding this.

We have been told that a couple of cats that live in the area have had bite marks on them . Is it possible that Rats will attack cats ?  

She owns the property and has lived there for over 50 years hassle free. He has been very stubborn , ignorant and selfish since we asked if he could tidy up his garden , i offered to do this myself for him but he prefers a natural looking wild garden , problem is it is the food he throws around for the pigeons and squirils that is a real problem along with all of his privit and tree cutting that he has just thrown up against my mother in laws property from his side , he does not care what problems he is causing in his back garden. 

Sadly i dont , i will try and find out who the local councilor is for her area . In what way are they lax in their duty tinfoilhat ? are they suposed to deal with problem ? i remember them saying there was nothing they could do it the gentleman wont engage with them , was this just an excuse ?

Her neighbour has not talked with her and us for 3 years now since we asked enviromental health to have a word with him after we exhausted all our avenues of comunication with him. My freind has a pellet gun and has already offered his rat culling services if needed but thank you for the offer. I just need to make sure what we can do is legal as the last thing i want is to be reported by him to the police even though it is him that is causing all the problems.

I would say environmental health would be the best place to start.

 

As the neighbour is elderly as well then maybe adult social services,

you could also try putting traps/poison down in your mothers garden

They have been to see him but he refuses to engage with them. Traps and poison maybe the way forward , i have a freind who owns a pellet gun , would he be allowed to shoot them ?

Tell her to sell up and move.

It really isnt worth all the hassle.

She dosent want to , she wants to live in her home as she has for a good 50 years hassle free.  Is there no legal way we could sort this problem out ?
