Does this mean SCC wont be doing any promotion for the following in 2024?

The World Snooker Championships sponsored by Cazoo so would be promoting petrol diesel and hybrid cars which is against their new policy?

Tramlines as their promotional materials advertise Alcohol (Thatchers and Brewdog) which is against their new policy

Sheffield Grand Prix part sponsored by McClaren (Cars) and Brown Bar (Alcohol) which is against their new policy

Sheffield by the Seaside - Has stalls promoting unhealthy food which is against their new policy

 

Or putting the Helen Sharman artwork up . She’s got one hell of a carbon footprint

is this the same council that had a massive diesel generator running 24/7 for 3 months for the shipping containers just outside the town hall

Yep -  all because they failed to check there were facilities available.

20mph speed limits etc surely adds to the problem that scc is apparently trying to combat? 

urban 20 zones reduce fuel consumption - it's physics.

 

1 unit of fuel will accelerate a car to 20mph. another whole unit of fuel is required to accelerate from 20-30.

 

(KE = ½ MV^2)

 

when we consider aerodynamic drag, accelerating to 30 burns more than twice as much fuel vs 20.

 

given that we're talking about urban 20 zones, this extra fuel is completely wasted when the car decelerates/stops for the next junction/ lights/ queue.

Oh dear...

With all the problems Sheffield has, SCC want to ban burger signs and the likes?

Just jumping on the 'climate' bandwagon again. Pathetic!

   Not many people would recognise that there is such a thing as a traffic lights+burger signs+climate 'bandwagon'.

It's not the fact we have traffic lights that's the issue. It's the amount. 

and they're lit 24/7.

 

Some junctions need this as it can never be safe without, but there's an awful lot that have no need for lights at 3am in the morning and would be perfectly safe to operate like any other non-lit junction.

I think I'll recommend a similar move to our borough council, because I know I for one will immediately forget about the existence of fast food and other tasty, tasty lard items if I don't see them advertised around and about. Top job, SCC!

[Vrsaljko 207]

Yet more nanny state nonsense which doesn't do anything to solve the problem at hand. Meanwhile people still see these adverts anyway on TV and YouTube etc.

The problem with the lights is that they aren't sequenced in a sensible manner. 

 

Well the council have a team of people who work on that and a fancy traffic control centre where it’s all done from. Maybe it’s that they aren’t sequenced in the way you’d like, but perhaps there’s a good reason for it.

 

Ever asked them about it?
