Resident Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 1 hour ago, Litotes said: I also see that in the consultation, less than 0.5% of the population of Sheffield responded - probably because the consultation was only open for 3 weeks just before Christmas 2021 - yet another example of SCC trying to slip things in under the carpet by putting it out for that period of time at that time of year - this, I recollect is in breach of rules for consultation periods - I am checking. Also, the methodology of the consultation is suspect, and the fact that the documents available are incomplete (and have pathetic grammar, spelling and multiple typos) suggests that the implementation of the consultation might be able to be challenged.,.. Watch this space. I found the questions on the consultation vague or leading which will lead to them being misconstrude by SCC as approval.

HeHasRisen Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 2 hours ago, Litotes said: The stupidity of including the inner ring road in the CAZ is up to the usual standards of SCC. So say someone is coming in from the M1 Jn33 to go to Broomhill, rather than taking the most direct route, they would now go up through the Manor and wriggle their way round the city, cutting through residential areas and increasing thrir journey time by a massive factor rather than paying the tax to the money-rakers at the SCC. They should have put the CAZ on the inside of the inner ring road and then used technology to speed up the travel around it. Despite the protestations of Planner saying that the SCC can't enforce yellow grid boxes at junctions, they keep getting repainted, but just not put in the sensible places - yet another money-making scheme from the incompetents at the SCC. The sooner we get these pathetic individuals out of office the better. There is a clean air zone thread, this thread is about something totally different (that some people cant seem to get their heads around) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

top4718 Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 We need whatever force is required to stop this in it's tracks, Oxford are leading the way, hopefully other towns and cities will follow suit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that is the problem with the CAZ as has been pointed out before - charging for use of the Inner Ring Road - which will just encourage vans, lorries etc to use "rat runs" to avoid charges. But we're talking about real issues in Sheffield rather than imaginary ones in Oxford................................................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
