chem1st Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 You don't see people coming on SF to complain about their experiences on the Manor as often as you do Netheredge, yet the Manor has a bad rep, and many still give Netheredge a good one.

Lady Star Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 It may be that people expect more from an area where the houses are attractive, and not especially cheap, and where we have delis and whatnot... Trouble is there is a small minority of complete tossers who could probably do with culling... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natjack Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I go on the Manor/Manor Top/Parklands etc often and never had a problem walking round that area. Even though I've never yet had any real problem I've been wary of walking through Nether Edge for a couple of years, there's just a bad vibe round the area now.

icon76 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Lets all be honest, the area has attracted a certain sort of person and now it is reeping the rewards of "diversity". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's called unchecked racism - It needs taking in hand to be honest, but police seem concerned that in dealing with racists, they'll be accused of racism... In my onion they shouldn't be afraid and just get in there and get it sorted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul2412 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Hi, Was just wondering if anyone else has had problems with youths in nether edge. I was punched out the blue by a lad on sheldon rd on saturday night, he was only a kid but had a mate with him. The police dont seem to want to know because i said i had been the pub and had a drink, well they asked if i'd had a drink and i politey said i had. I was walking home with a pizza and bang, and i thought i lived in a decent area That is pretty unacceptable, the police are there to protect you from criminals. As far as I'm aware, being drunk isn't a criminal offence unless you're causing problems for other people. To just dismiss it because you'd had a drink is ridiculous. I'd take it further. Are the police now saying that after you've had a drink you deserve everything you get? No doubt if you turned round and hit the little Tom Tit you'd be arrested for assault.

Paddy Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Things are only going to get worse in this area unless the police get tough. I know that the police have used Section 30 Dispersal orders in several other areas of Sheffield so why not around Netheredge, Abbeydale Rd and London Road. Why is this? In my opinion it's because they don't want any political flak from being accused of racism when they stop and search the numerous groups of ethnic males that roam the area. Shaky99 - The police have let you down here. Go into your local station and make a complaint about how you were treated. Hope you are ok now. Also I know it doesn't matter but what origin where the males who attacked you? Here's some more threads about the downward spiral of the area: http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=505591&highlight=sheldon+road http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=602209&highlight=netheredge http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=588261&highlight=netheredge http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=545506&highlight=netheredge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That probably does have something to do with it. The police think nothing of waving their batons at football fans who are simply walking to a stadium but won't do anything about these kids randomly attacking normal people.
