truman Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Your confusing the councillors with the highly paid civil servants who work for the council. Genuine question..who makes the decisions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) Which decisions? Certainly none of the posts listed previously are involved in planning decisions. And ultimately planning decisions rest with a group of councillors, although they have recommendations and reports from staff working for them. ---------- Post added 09-03-2015 at 10:31 ---------- This was the list of staff JOHN MOTHERSOLE Chief Executive £216,000 JEREMY WIGHT Director of Public Health £98,453 SHARON SQUIRES Director Sheffield First Partnership £81,645 JAMES HENDERSON Director of Policy & Performance £81,645 JAYNE LUDLAM Executive Director of CYPF £141,516 LARAINE MANLEY Executive Director of Communities £141,516 WILLIAM GREEN Executive Director of Place £141,516 EUGENE WALKER Executive Director of Resources £141,516 SUSAN HIRD Consultant in Public Health £81,618 CHRISTOPHER SHAW Director of Health Improvement £76,922 LOUISE BREWINS Head of Public Health Intelligence £67,805 E.

Turning down IKea for the best part of ten years, and all the jobs that went with it. Leaving Sheffield without a decent market for years, then when they finally get round to building one, build it in the wrong place, and charge too much. Building a new fire station then knocking it down again, and planning to do the same with the main bus station. The fiasco that is the sevenside retail development, and the money wasted on it. Knocking down the relatively new Jessica Ennis stadium, and planning to replace it with - a stadium. Trying to break the legally binding Graves park covernant, and wasting money on unnecessary legal battles. And if you want to go further back.... The airport debacle that ended in its closure and the dodgy dealing that ended with them selling it for £1. Still awaiting the enquiry that 'Lord' Scrivens promised on that one... The world student games. Edited March 9, 2015 by Cyclone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederick1 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 . Different sides of the political spectrum ultimately have different strategies. It was a rhetorical question though, and the answer was none. Strategy? What "strategy"? It's pretty obvious there isn't one, and it doesn't matter which party, or the hierarchy or councillors!:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny5 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Or we could simply look at post 84 by Green, and use our own experience of the monumental **** ups this highly paid bunch of top ('we have to pay top dollar to get the best,') executives have presided over...

Having a consultation about removing trees at Heeley City farm when the decision had already been made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truman Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Which decisions? Sorry if I wasn't clear..are the council's decisions made by the elected councillors or the civil servants..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 ALL of the councils decisions? That's a question too broad to answer. Ultimately the responsibility rests with the councillors, but many decisions will be delegated to employee's. But not the decisions that Anna listed.

Vegas1 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Building a new fire station then knocking it down again, and planning to do the same with the main bus station. Knocking down the relatively new Jessica Ennis stadium, and planning to replace it with - a stadium. Apart from issuing the planning permission, what has the new fire station got to do with the council? And where is this stadium, do you mean Don Valley?

Vegas1 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Filling in the "hole in the road" was hardly a balls up. The place was like the Black Hole of Calcutta towards the end and filling it in allowed a new tram system to be completed. Rose tinted spectatles aplenty on this thread. I was just bemused that Anna thought the stadium had that name, given it was a stadium she never competed in at an international level as far as I am aware.

Detetcive Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Sorry if I wasn't clear..are the council's decisions made by the elected councillors or the civil servants..? Just to be pedantic, civil servants work in governmental departments and the like - not for the council. Politicians (councillors) are the employers and they set the broad agenda but council officers are the ones who interpret what the politicians want (and what central government dictates). Major decisions are made or endorsed by councillors - those that cost over a certain amount to implement or affect more than two wards. ---------- Post added 09-03-2015 at 12:24 ---------- Your confusing the councillors with the highly paid civil servants who work for the council. see above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
