bobvob Posted November 5, 2006 Author Share Posted November 5, 2006 Would people be happy to pay congestion charge? this appears to be an idea that sometimes pops up. Apparently Surveys carried out seem to show public opinion is changing and is more in favour What di you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnomi Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 May i suggest sorting out the pothole situation? I spend a lot of my working day driving around the whole city,and my poor car simply cant cope with the abuse i subject it to! Other than weaving around the road like a drunk blind woman,there really isnt anyway of avoiding these buggering craters Re positives....... err.........

Haydn1971 Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 I will soon be starting with the council, as an employee, and one of my first jobs will be to look at the Road System. Welcome to the forum, where exactly are you going to be working Bob ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaFoot Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Enforcement of existing schemes (eg. tram gate hillsborough corner, people turning right at a left only etc.) should be a priority IMO - lets see how the city runs if people follow the structure that is in place.

Planner1 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Enforcement of existing schemes (eg. tram gate hillsborough corner, people turning right at a left only etc.) should be a priority IMO - lets see how the city runs if people follow the structure that is in place. Enforcement of the tram gates is on the way, but they have quite a number of issues to resolve, it's a fairly complex thing. Looking like Spring next year or thereabouts. The Council currently don't have powers to enforce moving traffic offences (like banned turns, no entries, box junctions) but the Government is looking to give them powers in the next year or two. The Government is consulting on it shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planner1 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Hello I will soon be starting with the council, as an employee, and one of my first jobs will be to look at the Road System. It would be really useful if you could let me know of any improvements that could be made, so I could put these ideas forward. Do you have any gripes, and if so, in what areas? Are you happy with the current situation? are you getting value for money? I'm looking at getting off on the right footing, Thanks Sheffield Bobvob What job will you be doing and in which section?

richt100 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Bob, please fix all the roads in and around Crookes/Broomhill and provide lots of free parking. When you have finished that you will be more than capable of sorting out the situation in the Middle East and world hunger in general! Seriously though some pothole attention would be much-appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking at getting off on the right footing, Thanks Sheffield Firstly mentioned loads by others pot holes and road surfaces are terrible on most routes second the routes that have been re surfaced are of poor quality wearing is apparent in places on some already drains / grates stuck up also the new surface is very slippy in dry and wet conditions god help us when snow and ice arrive thirdly speed humps on some roads to near edge of kerb so it`s either hit the kerb or go into middle of road to avoid the kerb also some seem way to high fourth Queens road needs looking into it doesnt run smoothly alot of time Lastly Good luck with it all can`t think of possitives dob`t think there are any!
