Baron99 Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 (edited) SCC have want your ideas & suggestions to formulate a blueprint for the city. https://www.thestar.co.uk/business/appeal-for-ideas-to-drive-sheffield-forward-met-with-calls-for-mass-resignations-in-town-hall-4124081 At the risk of stating the obvious, does this mean those highly paid officials, planning officers, etc, including our CEO Kate Josephs, haven't got a clue what to do next? Or is this just a paper, tick-box exercise, to try & convince the citizens of Sheffield, "We're listening to you. We've taken your ideas on board but....?" Personally, if you want an idea, (and I speak as an inveterate car driver who only uses public transport when necessary), I'd say restore the bus routes along Leopold St, past the Town Hall & down Pinstone St., through the so called 'Heart of the City.' Over to you lot as SCC don't seem to know what to do? Edited April 30, 2023 by Baron99 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollingJ Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Publicity stunt, conveniently just before the local elections, to be quietly forgotten come the day after. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECCOnoob Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Christ almighty. SCC can't win. Everyone whines that the council never listens to the public. Never gives them opportunity to have their say. Never allows them to contribute to things..... Now everyone is whining because the council is asking for feedback or input or suggestions whilst slagging them off for not being capable of making their own decisions and preemptively declaring they won't listen to it anyway. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rarely argue with you, but you must have seen the times when there have been 'surveys' by SCC which clearly pointeed in the opposite direction to which they went? And I'm sorry, I've been around long enough to know how councils act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you honestly believe the council will act on any feedback ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time, no they can't because the general consensus is that people have lost confidence in the council. Like Rotherham Council or a failing school, it should be placed into special measures and temporarily controlled by government experts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A consultation is not a ballot. They are very different things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
