Blackbeard Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Anyone who votes this lot back in after the sevenstone farce and the NEXT refusal only has themselves to blame Who is to blame? The blame game goes back a while. 24 September 2010 "Mr Scriven said that the council was working on a new financial plan. "We are putting forward proposals to the Treasury to review the historic investments to the project and restructure finances to give Hammerson enough comfort to buy up the remaining land in the development site," he said." That was the very same Paul Scriven that ran the city in 2010 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-11407047 No matter who you vote for, the council always get in.

larven Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 That was 3 years ago. We have Paul Scriven to thank for getting the Moor going. If it was up to the Dore/Mothersole dream team that probably wouldn't have got off the ground either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too true, it had been going on since 2007 and no one seems to have driven it much further in that time. I remember that the coalition government withdrew 12 million from the project but have not followed the progress much, I may have missed things.

Many people on here and on the star comment boards have rightly hammered the council for the complete mess they have made of running the city , yet many of these people will still vote Labour at the next local elections and vote these muppets back in for more of the same comedy council. Until people start looking at alternative boxes to tick on the ballot paper these idiots will continue to occupy the town hall and have their hands on the purse strings.

Sadly you no longer have a vote in Sheffield so you can't help make the change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike208 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Not the end of the world but an all too frequent scenario. Council make a decision that its overturned when independently examined, costing council tax payers tens of thousands. Lets move on and waste some more money that the council obviously has in abundance. There are very few councils which don't have a planning decision overturned by the planning inspectorate in a calendar year - we are talking about a handful out of the approx 330 councils. It not an unusual event and of the number of overturned decisions SCC is nowhere near the top. Councils get decisions wrong from time to time. That's the whole reason the appeal process exists.
