Marka Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Hello, I'm considering renting a house that is just accross Ponds Forge (over the bridge and tram way) but am a bit sceptical about the neighbourhood...I don't know Sheffield well and as I've only lived in the centre for a short time I have not a clue about other areas. People say that S2 is not as safe as other areas but I'm particularly concerned about crossing the bridge in and out of the centre in the dark winter evenings (female insecurities). Does anyone know if that area (Bard street, S2) is relatively safe? If not, can you suggest any areas, as close as possible to the centre, that are considered ok to live in? Thanks a lot!

nick2 Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 S2 is no more dangerous than any other area, common sense is the key to survival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatter Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 ^^ what he says really, but I'm not that keen crossing the tram bridge into town and have decided that I won't in the dark if I'm on my own-I'll get the bus instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claireabell6 Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I had some friends who owned a flat over there. They were very happy and only moved because it was too small for a family. They sold it very quickly for a good price also. xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kel83 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I'm staying in that area for a few weeks, it's OK as long as you keep your wits about you, use common sense (ie, not walking around on your own at night) and don't put yourself in danger.

zippydude Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 and that means to me keep away from s2! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 common sense is the key to survival. Some forummers would have been extinct years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kel83 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Well, before I lived in S2 I was in Walkley, and before that in the centre of town, and I took the same approach in all 3 places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbo Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 S2 is fine. Just keep your head down and you'll be fine. People over react about certain areas and this isn't no where near as bad as other parts of the city. I wouldn't worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
