segasonic Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I suppose it's down to personal experience, I lived on the Valley for almost 10 years and have fond memories of the place, but after 4 years on Parson Cross I consider it the distended rectum of Sheffield. I'm sure there's plenty of people who would disagree based on their own experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaFan Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Possibly the only place that's as bad as it's made out to be is Iraq. Everywhere else is generally better than is assumed by everyone who has never been there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs gough Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 lived in the valley for 30 odd years, now live at top end. mum and dad still live there and have done for 40 odd years. is NOT that bad. made me livid to read the star today. yes there are some idiot scum that live there and things are not perfect but for gods sake its no worse than anywhere else. not all people are jobless. some families work and some kids are great. they took little incidents and blown them up. and herdings is not in the valley anyway. the landlady of the blackstock serves a lot of the idiots and then complains. the council have to take the blame for some of this for they put problem families and people on the valley and let them get away with everything, keep a diary they say if you complain, to what ends for they do nothing about it. they put the problems there. but gleadless valley is not as bad as is being portrayed. do not believe all of it. every area has these problems. :rant::rant: Got to agree about the landlady...I've often seen shop lifters go into the Blackstock pub with bags full of stolen goods, Their bags are allways empty when they come out so she must turn a blind eye to this? Also most of the dole bums and their youths sit in or out side the pub lining her pocket so she should be careful about biting the hand that feeds her.

sezemeseeds Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 apparently it is, why on earth would the police and council make figures up?? the police are busy enough without inventing crimes to investigate! do you live on the valley have you ever lived there. if you do then you blind. IT IS NOT THAT BAD. or is everything written in a newspaper true!!!! i did not say it was the perfect place on earth i said that yes it has its faults, but no different from any other area, with drugs and crime. but it is not that bloody bad. :rant: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puddinburner Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Gleadless Valley, I would rather live in a cardboard box under the arch's, I guess the police crime figures are from Moorland road and Gaunt road area's alone. Seriously it's not that bad, just depends where you live ont valley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemgems1 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 He does have a point about the bus stops tho, but then again why they replace it with new glass every week instead of plastic, i'll never know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Probably because for some bizarre reason, glass is cheaper than plastic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
