You complain about the council because they don't listen to the voters then when they do listen you still complain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

When has climate change been a big influencer on local elections in Sheffield ? People in Sheffield are more concerned about the running of the City , climate change would be way down the list of concerns to local people . Still , you carry on voting for amateur politicians . Honestly don't you see the irony in this latest policy ? Edited May 7, 2019 by hackey lad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Environmentalists have always said that concern for the environment should be prioritised above all issues and this idea has been gaining more and more support in recent years so yes, the voters of Sheffield are interested. This is also something that the Council can actually do something about on a local level. It can't stop global warming but it can improve the health of Sheffield's children by controlling emissions in town either by moving over to greener council vehicles or reducing traffic levels and banning certain vehicles from the town centre. It can also encourage cycling by creating and improving cycle lanes and secure parking as well as reducing car use by encouraging public transport. Good on 'em! 👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Cyclone 10 #5 Posted May 8, 2019 It certainly would be a shift to be concerned about the public health after their ill thought out tree removal project wouldn't it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

If so then this is clearly an example of listening to the people. If it was a Tory council then it would be "yet another Tory U-turn".

What would you prefer them to do with it.. Landfill or send it to Malaysia so some children can sort it instead of Veolia? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

If we all stop making it, I’m sure they will stop burning it. That’s you as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
