Mecky   10 #49 Posted March 13, 2015 We've got corrupt, useless local government and an ineffective police force. I thought they loved that sort of thing???  :hihi::hihi:  What I'm saying is that I'd only invest with the minimum condition I'd get a return plus my stake i.e. take out more than I put in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Bloobell67   10 #50 Posted March 13, 2015 So why should Sheffield try and compete with other nearby cities? I couldn't give a toss what Manchester or Leeds do  Hear hear Mecky! I don't care either what they do, I wouldn't want to be living in Manchester or Leeds.  I love us Sheffielders and our access to beautiful countryside right on our doorstep - we're the lucky ones they should want to compete with :D:D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Leeds Loiner   10 #51 Posted March 13, 2015 Hear hear Mecky! I don't care either what they do, I wouldn't want to be living in Manchester or Leeds. I love us Sheffielders and our access to beautiful countryside right on our doorstep - we're the lucky ones they should want to compete with :D:D  And we don't care for you either, we have Otley Ilkley and the Dales, with the added advantage our beautiful countryside is in Gods Own County Yorkshire not Derbyshire !

Chris412   10 #54 Posted March 14, 2015 The centre of Leeds is a right pig to park in since they bulldozed the big car park by the markets. Not only was it easy to access, but it was cheap and IIRC was at one point free after 6ish. Now you pay through the nose for NCP.  ---------- Post added 11-03-2015 at 09:45 ----------   Depends on your view of corrupt??  Case in point the 'planning team' who last summer went to Cannes to a 'planning convention' on the premise of finding someone to sort out the mess the moor is.  The sum total they brought back was 'some good leads'. They're going back again this year :rolleyes:  Sorry, but thats simply not good enough.  You don't need to go on holiday, to find a contractor to take on a large building project like the moor - if the council got their **** in order all the big contractors would be beating their door down trying to get the job. If a contractor came along and wanted to build a mini shanghai or bejing it would be passed and built within 6wks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
