specjo   10 #42 Posted December 1, 2010 I'm so jealous of you "townies". Us people out on the very edges of Sheffield don't get anything when the weather is bad. We haven't had a postal delivery in our village for 4 days. We also haven't had a single bus run through the village for 4 days and we haven't had the grit wagon/snow plough come down the main road of our village at all!!!  When our village flooded in the summer of 2007, lots of residents called the fire brigade many times to ask them to pump water out of our homes. You know what they said in response?? "Sorry, unless human life is in imminent danger we're too busy looking after the people in Sheffield city centre to bother with the small villages. You're on your own and will have to manage the best you can." We called the council many times to ask them for delivery of emergency sand-bags and they responded "Sorry, we had to use all the available sand-bags to protect the buildings in the city. You're on your own".  We pay the same levels of council tax as you "townies" but never get the same level of service !!! It's time people in rural areas paid less council tax if they don't get the same service. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Nataliie   10 #43 Posted December 1, 2010 Aww, I feel sorry for them if they're working today... It's not fair walking miles in this snow, with heavy bags... They shouldn't have to do it, and people should just get over it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
