So at least try and be fair . Probably, but these things were put in place post war by Labour councils up until the end of the 70's when Sheffield was thriving. It's been on a downhill trajectory ever since Thatcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a good idea to bring back Park keepers, and sports huts with changing facilities etc as well, but it's never going to happen. Local libraries should be reinstated with full time staff too, and youth clubs and youth workers and...in fact all the things we have lost over the past 13 years... The time will come when all these things are completely forgotten by new generations who never knew they existed. I agree, all of those things should be brought back but it wouldn't cost that much to have the parks & countryside manager liaise with cafe owners/managers on a bi weekly basis and set out standards in the tenancy agreement. Customers will easily complain/report to the council if the agreement is broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the 1990s, there were public toilets in Crosspool, closed around 2001 and now a private house that bears no benefit to the community. There used to be a mobile library that parked near The Mason Arms in Crookes, not seen that in atleast 15 years. Then we had the closure of Sure Start children's centres around 2009.
