Mecky Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 The news says a private company will be given £2bn to make Sheffield's roads the best in the country. I don't know about other people but I'm very sceptical about this. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XPrincessX Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Hard to believe. Hopefully they'll do it without increasing Tax again...But it would be nice to be able to drive without getting whiplash from pot holes! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scozzie Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Sheffield DO have the best roads in the UK - well, between the potholes it is pretty good, anyway. BUT - the road are relatively free of congestion, so thats a good thing. ....and a lot of them are quite wide. whoop, I'm on a rol___l. <------I hit a pothole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

six45ive Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Personally I'd like to see a little more detail about how the work is going to be managed and the quality of the refurb which, apparently, will include new pavements, street furniture and trees (or maintenance of) and lighting/traffic signals. Time will tell I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muttley_the_ Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 it won't go as far as people are hoping. to be fair about the wicker costing £200m well remember it was virtually impassible after the floods and they made a good job of it in my opinion, just a shame all the building and shops down there need some tlc and a clearout otherwise would look great.

monkey69 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 reduce the lanes for cars and put in cycle lanes throughout, that would encourage more cyclists, less cars, less emissions, reduced injuries, less costs for the NHS, less fat people, less road rage, generally its a bloody good idea!!

You're right about the money not going as far as people might think. Not sure were the figure of £200m for Wicker has come from, but it was done on the back of the Inner Relief Road and that whole project was less than £60m iiirc.
