"Safety is paramount": Barriers in place on Sheffield party street with plans to remove parking bays

Party Street  😂😂😂

[Stannington Lad]

Since when have been people on a night out been called partygoers?

It's not exactly Sunset Strip is it ?   😂

Fair enough it stops people falling into the road but are they protected from the Deliverooy / UberEats cyclists riding on the pavement?

I think the majority of us have at some point had wobbly rubber legs  ........ it's all part of growing up.   🤣

Installing barriers I think is a good idea if it helps keep people safer.   Drunk or not when there are a few people walking and talking they often do not look where they're going.

I've also heard that certain pubs are installing soft leather padding around their bar counter and snug areas to keep the punters from accidentally hitting their arms...

I know one forum member who walked off the edge of a newly built tram stop onto the road (West Street) and landed on his chin.  He had a bag of chips in his hand at the time and didn't drop one chip! 🤣

It's a bit 'Nanny State' isn't it. I mean isn't University partly about learning to be independent and responsible?

Having said that, if I was a parent of a Fresher, I think 'd be grateful for any safety measures the authorities could impose...

Having walked down that stretch of road on a weekend evening, it does seem a sensible option.

 

There's lots of spilling out onto the road from the pavement, especially when smoking areas are erected, etc.

Same as ‘revellers’.
Not part of anybody’s spoken language and only ever seen in newspapers.
