BigAl1   142 #1 Posted May 17, 2019 I see that to add to the tales of woe that the PTE have just built a bus shelter on Tickhill Road in Rotherham a street with no buses. Even when buses ran there were I am told only 2 a day  which one would have thought would have not met any basic cost benefit analysis were the PTE  to adopt such methodology to guide its investment.  still no problem the bill will just inflate our council tax bills  and no one will be disciplined for such waste Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

RollingJ Â Â 1,908 #3 Posted May 17, 2019 Total stupidity - but what else do you expect from the load of idiots that run the PTE? Â Have you pointed out their stupidity to them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
vwkittie   10 #4 Posted May 17, 2019 (edited) They're already aware and hoping to move it elsewhere. Apparently they didn't spell a road name correctly on it as well!  Sounds like it was earmarked for upgrade before the service was taken from the road, and the work wasn't cancelled as it should have been.

Phili Buster   10 #7 Posted May 17, 2019 This is not new, they also built a bus pull-in on Greenland Road (just before Senior Road) which no busses have every used but hey-ho, it's not their money is it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

BigAl1   142 #10 Posted May 19, 2019 I do and this was picked up by The Times but complaining to them is a waste of time  With regards to the dot matrix I was on local radio and even the Star ran an articl.   our counillors and MPs do nothing just forward the complaints Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
RollingJ Â Â 1,908 #11 Posted May 19, 2019 I totally agree, @amnicoll - rather like complaining to First, but at least there I have a couple of efficient and useful contacts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
BigAl1   142 #12 Posted May 19, 2019 The Executive director of SYPTE refuses to engage in debate with me after my numerous complaints preferring to bury his head in the sand  many organisations have customer service departments that are a waste of space but some in fairness do respond in a proper manner. I usually now complain direct to the top person as it tends to generate not just a quick response but also a positive one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
