the_rudeboy Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 So how am I "almost wrong?" That's exactly what I posted, apart from getting the dates out by a year.You didn't get the date wrong, SYCC was disbanded in 1986. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Shaw Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 You didn't get the date wrong, SYCC was disbanded in 1986. Well, South Yorkshire Residuary Body supplanted it from 1985- hence no SYCC election that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Shaw Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 The council doesn't exist. True. And therefore, technically, no South Yorkshire county - since counties only officially exist insofar as they have a council. Untrue. If the 1972 Act says that it exists as a Metropolitan county, it does! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugh jarse Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Barnsley is God's little acre where children skip and dance in the street, it's always sunny and the people are just wonderful and welcoming. Sheffield is shall we say, polar opposite, The last time i visited Sheffield the police pulled my car over, I was quizzed,...did I have any weapons? ME!....when I said "of course not!" the policeman said ...here have some..you'll need weapons around here!.... While Sheffielders would be proud to be part of Barnsley, Barnsley wouldn't want to be Sheffielders altough they paid for the student olympics and the trams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Sheffield Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Yup! 'The Leeds City Region Partnership brings together the eleven local authorities of Barnsley, Bradford, Calderdale, Craven, Harrogate, Kirklees, Leeds, Selby, Wakefield, York and North Yorkshire County Council to work with businesses and partners toward a common prosperous and sustainable city region in areas such as transport, skills, housing, spatial planning and innovation.' Leeds City Region: http://www.leedscityregion.gov.uk/ Barnsley is also part of the proposed Sheffield city region, but at the present time the Sheffield city region and the Leeds city region don't exist.

chambta Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Would Rotherham, Barnsley, Chesterfield and Doncaster actually want to become part of "Greater Sheffield" though? I'd think not personally, and even Barnsley is now included in the Leeds area, and is included as part of the Leeds City Region. Now wouldn't it be funny if Rotherham, our closest neighbour, did the same thing... Chesterfield absolutely not. 100% & resolutely Derbyshire.

chem1st Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Surely Mexborough should be the capital of the SY Republic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
