Mecky Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 some nice smooth roads. More like a city with a better road layout which can get you to places you want to go without a 5 mile detour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Full employment ,so bring back manufacturing inc steel works and engineering this is what made Sheffield World famous not office blocks and call centres also get rid of Hallam University, one uni is enough for Sheffield the ever expanding hordes of students who are changing the traditional working class terrace areas of our city into unrecognizable ghetto,s needs a rethink. This is not a anti student rant it is plain for all to see that industry means apprenticeships and so half of all students would be learning a trade and not wasting 3 or 4 years at uni so as they can get a job on the bins or somewhere. Hear Hear. Bang on. It would be nice if the city council supported industry instead of clobbering it with penal taxation. At one time business rates were a minor consideration. Now they're a major factor in a company deciding to move overseas. Then when they've gone the council throws millions at halfbaked projects like the unpopular centre for music. Look at the business and employment Brown Baileys generated. Now the site is Don Valley Stadium. Empty and doing nothing most of the time. It's munufacturing industry that creates wealth, all the council projects are for spending money once it's been created. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crookesey Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 How about a few software or telecoms companies or something equally high-tech and modern, it's not like Sheffield is full of luddites who can't work anything more complex than a hammer, it used to be a cutting edge (no pun) city. All for it mate, but the council would never stand for it, they along with the usual, say no to everything brigade, have blocked an Ikea that would have provided hundreds of jobs. Sheffield's agenda must be thousands of folk on benefits, all being dependent on the council to provide housing for them. However their would be lots of jobs for the boys and girls who are there to look after them, or perhaps not if David Campbell is to be believed.

Rupert_Baehr Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 1. turn medowhall into a prison and anybody caught with knives ext can go straight to prison 2. more shops in city centre 3. prisoners to fix roads 24/7 4.build anouther hospital so theres no waiting and more nhs jobs 5. alot more tram routes 6. 24 hour buss sevice 7. a football team that wants to win lol but none of these will happen in our life time to much red tape everywhere (1) So somebody caught with a knife goes straight to prison and then (3) is sent out to repair the roads. How long do you think that person would stay on the job? Where would you get the prison guards (would one per prisoner be enough?) to stop them from 'doing a runner'? (4) Which part of the NHS would you take the money from to build this new hospital? - Or are you saying that you would like to pay far more in taxes (ring-fenced for the NHS) to pay for the expanded and improved service? People in this country pay 9.5% of their income for medical care. - The money goes into a state-run insurance scheme which pays hospital and doctors' bills. (The hospitals and doctors can only charge what the state allows them to as well.) In the UK you pay what - 13%(?) of your income in NIC and that's supposed to pay for the NHS, pay for benefits, pay for pensions and pay for care in old age. (6) Who pays for that? The bus drivers won't work for nothing, diesel costs money and how many passengers would there be on those buses running around during the night? If you really want to travel around the city at 2 or 3 am, why not call a taxi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
