Catching a bus or tram is no good because you end up well away from where you need to be. I'm in the same boat Fred, even with a blue badge it's hard to get near to where you want to go. And while we're on the subject, I find all the new tech a nightmare as well. I'm not stupid, but apart from a few internet manouvers that I'm familiar with, I'm lost, and a lot of people I know are in the same position..

Lets face it Anna, you'll not get far in a boat, no moorings on the River Don. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could get a cab if you aren’t confident driving in the city centre and bus/tram doesn’t take you close enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cab might not be able to get close enough either with so many roads closed and much pedestrianised. Edited September 4, 2023 by Anna B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get pretty close to the pedestrianised bits by car, but Shopmobility on Eldon Street hire out mobility scooters and wheelchairs for those who find it difficult to get around on foot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffbag Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Well, just got a response to my FOI request about the comments made by Julie Grucott on Radio Sheffield in Feb as a follow up to my earlier FOI request about SCC appealing the mandate. Looks like someone was lying on air..................... 1. Has SCC ever asked the govt formally or informally to not remove the mandate. If so then when were these requests made and who by No. 2. Has the govt ever indicated to SCC formally or informally that they would run the scheme if SCC refused to. No, although a failure to implement the scheme would have resulted in a breach of a legal duty, giving rise to risk of judicial review proceedings, complaints of maladministration, and enforcement action by the Office for Environmental Protection.
