zootle Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Fort William is already branded as the Outdoor Capital of the UK (http://www.outdoorcapital.co.uk) so I don't see how Sheffield could claim to be the first Outdoor City... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detetcive Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Whilst chopping all it's feckin trees down!! You couldn't make this **** up! Really? All the trees? ---------- Post added 16-10-2015 at 09:48 ---------- It will be interesting to see how this translates into actual things, rather than talk. Indeed, although it does sound like a worthy effort to promote the city and to increase visitors and presumably improve life quality for residents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spilldig Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Are they going to re-instate all the nice healthy lidos they couldn't wait to close down. I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutch Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) None of our family or friends live outdoor, really wonder who and what they are referring to? The new market is indoor. Its main garden in city centre is indoor. A relative small amount of outdoor cyclists for its size. Are they referring to the few people who live outdoor? edit: Maybe it is a call for the homeless to come live in Sheffield.

Cyclone Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Did you read the article? Why would you think it's about people living outdoors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny5 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 sheffield forum logic the council arent doing enough to promote the city highly paid people sitting on their backsides in town hall the council are promoting the city done by a load of highly paid people sitting in the town hall using buzzwords It's easy for council employees to come up with these ideas. The difficult bit is getting them established. Do any of these initiatives have any impact on anyone outside of the townhall and a few dozen folks who read about them on here and in the Star? Therein lies the problem that folks have with this ideas. Incidentally when 90% of a persons posts are white-knighting the council it makes their motivations somewhat suspicious.

Mr Bloke Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Whilst chopping all it's feckin trees down!! You couldn't make this **** up! If Sheffield is to be the world's first outdoor city then we're going to need to create a bit more space outdoors. Cutting down all the pavement trees is the first phase of the council's masterplan to creating a new network of 'hover' highways, where the less law-abiding Sheffielders will be encouraged to make their daily trips to the dole office on their new electrically motorised skateboards completely unhindered by generations of nature. This will obviously make for a much more pleasant journey for those less technologically advanced commuters who will continue to use one of the remaining 'refined' bus services, safe in the knowledge that they will no longer be sharing their journey with the city's chav underbellies.

stifflersmom Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I don't know how the success of this venture will be measured, but the website looks good and gives plenty of ideas for activities. I can't see how it is anything other than positive. http://www.theoutdoorcity.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
