Tara Misu   10 #1 Posted March 2, 2018 I thought that Sheffield Council plumbers would be busy because of the bad weather but there has been a council van parked down my road for hours everyday. Previous to the bad weather it was also parked up for many hours. I wondered if it was close to the workmans home. So if your are waiting for any council repairs, tell the council to check where there vehicles are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
onemanbucket   10 #2 Posted March 2, 2018 I work for the council and in the bad weather tradesmen are told to park up safely and wait for any emergency repairs that may arise. As you can imagine in this weather even councils can be short staffed! Is the purpose of this post to get someone into trouble who has actually made an effort to get into work in these conditions?

bassett one   452 #9 Posted March 4, 2018 I find for the most these guys work hard and always do there best ,now they are taken back by the council (in house) most with brand new vans as well,BUT I hope that if they underspend over the year,that they don't do what was done in the past and reduce there annual spend,which happened in the past,when it was done in house.
