Planner1 Â Â 438 #3385 Posted September 8, 2018 The only gripe I have with the council, is that in their conquest to kill the proper end of town, they have failed to extend the tram and improve the bus network to accommodate the move from Castlegate to Moorfoot. It's also sad to see the state of Castlegate at the moment - so depressing and needs some serious TLC. The Council don't control the tram or bus network. Both are the responsibility of SYPTE.

Both are the responsibility of SYPTE.  That is a bit disingenuous.  SYPTE is responsible to the Combined Authority Transport Committee which is made up of elected Councillors.

Guest makapaka   #3387 Posted September 8, 2018 That is a bit disingenuous. SYPTE is responsible to the Combined Authority Transport Committee which is made up of elected Councillors.  It’s not disingenuous at all - the insinuation is that sheffield city council run the SYPTE which they don’t.  So planner1 is right and you for someone reason are trying to deflect blame on SCC - why are you doing that?

That is rubbish. The Council appoints elected members to the Combined Authority Transport Committee (along with Councillors from other member South Yorkshire authorities) to whom SYPTE are responsible.

The Council appoints elected members to the Combined Authority Transport Committee (along with Councillors from other member South Yorkshire authorities) to whom SYPTE are responsible.  Along with all the other elected councillors in South Yorkshire.  The sheffield councillors might be involved but to suggest they are in control is disingenuous.  the UK has elected members of the European Parliament - it doesn’t mean we control the European Union.

Planner1   438 #3393 Posted September 9, 2018 Read again what I posted and stop being disingenuous. You implied that the transport network has nothing to do with the Council. That is rubbish. The Council appoints elected members to the Combined Authority Transport Committee (along with Councillors from other member South Yorkshire authorities) to whom SYPTE are responsible.  Nope. I said they don't control the public transport network and that is absolutely correct.  SYPTE are responsible for the public transport network.  As has already been pointed out, the Council are represented on governance committees but they do not control them.

bendix   10 #3396 Posted November 13, 2018 No. Sorry. It is a truly laughable market and in no way qualifies to be considered anywhere near the top 30 markets in the UK, let alone the best of all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
