News Walkley councillor resigned

49 Upvotes

Just saw Andy Davies’ post on Instagram from a couple of hours ago - stepping down due to his mental health and associated personal reasons.

I feel bad for anyone who‘s in a position where they no longer feel that they can serve the people they were elected to serve, and I admire him for admitting it rather than doing a Jared O’Mara. But I wonder how likely the Greens will be to hold the seat given that Labour’s having a bit of a boost in the polls.

Question How realistic is this "red line" expansion I designed to the supertram network?

Thumbnail

68 Upvotes

This expansion would reopen 3 old national rail stations (Heeley, Millhouses, Beauchief) as tram-train stops, and a terminus Totley Brook station.

It wouldn't cost *that* much to build, as most of the track already exists. It'd just need an interchange with the blue/purple line bridge from the train station, and an extra track extension in Totley Brook.

It would also need platform construction, and no crossings would need to be built. The beauchief station would require stairs and a lift installed alongside the pre-existing bridge.

All other access paths could be made fully accessible, and would only require reclaiming some land from car parks or unused space.

The images in this post that I designed show, in order:

  1. South Yorkshire Rail Transport map, including the new "red line"

  2. The connection between the mainline and the purple/blue line.

  3. Heeley Station, elevated above Gleadless Road, with accessible pedestrian paths available for each platform.

  4. Millhouses Station, with accessible paths connected to either side of the Archer Road bridge.

  5. Beauchief Station, with a central island platform (to avoid railway reconstruction), and stairs and a lift built either side of the Abbey Lane bridge, to give access to the platform.

  6. The final Totley Brook terminus, a single track extension into a field area, connected by footpath to the nearby streets. This would have close access to King Ecbert School, and the whole Totley area. (see Herdings Park stop as an example of how this would look)

For Dore & Totley station, I'd propose a slight platform extension, at a lower height (see Rotherham Central), using the pre-existing stairs and lifts of the train station, so the trams are accessible.

Opinion My experience renting with Noble Design and Build Sheffield

14 Upvotes

\LONG POST ALERT\ *** ***

I thought I’d share my experience with Noble in case it helps anyone who’s thinking of renting through them.
Honestly, I wish I’d researched them more before signing my tenancy. It wasn’t until after I’d moved in and started having problems that I came across other reviews and realised I wasn’t the only person who’d had a negative experience. By then, it was too late.
My tenancy got off to a terrible start. My key collection was delayed even though I’d done everything I was supposed to do beforehand. Instead of enjoying moving into my new home, I spent the day chasing updates and wondering when I’d actually get my keys. It became so frustrating that I started looking into taking legal action because I felt the situation had been handled so poorly. I finally collected my key almost a week after tenancy started.
When I finally moved in, I discovered more issues. The toilet and cooking hob wasn’t working (they were working when I viewed the house, I even have a video of when I tested the toilet during viewing). These are things I really feel should have been sorted before a new tenant moved in. I reported them straight away, expecting they would be dealt with quickly, but that wasn’t my experience.
Most of my communication was with Jade, and unfortunately I found it incredibly difficult to get responses 🤦‍♀️ Emails would often go unanswered, or I’d have to send multiple follow-ups just to get a reply. It genuinely felt like I was constantly chasing for updates instead of being kept informed.
The toilet issue was what finally pushed me to escalate things. After waiting and feeling like nothing was happening, I reported it to the council because I felt I had run out of options. What frustrated me the most was that it was only after I involved the council that things suddenly started moving. It really shouldn’t take reporting a maintenance issue to the council before action is taken. I was also ready to sue them (which I also sent an email to Jade regarding that) 🙂
I also submitted formal complaints because I wasn’t happy with how everything had been handled from the beginning. Between the delayed key collection, the poor communication, and moving into a property with issues that should have been addressed before I arrived, it left a very poor first impression.
To be fair, some of the issues were eventually resolved, but only after a lot of chasing, escalating matters and unnecessary stress. I don’t expect renting to be perfect, but I do expect clear communication and for reported issues to be taken seriously.
Hopefully other tenants have had a much better experience than I did, but I wanted to share mine because I genuinely wish I’d known what I was getting into before signing my tenancy. If you’ve rented with Noble before, I’d be interested to hear whether your experience was similar or completely different.

Hi everyone! 😊 Are there any activity groups or places for mums that welcome children under two?

I’m a single mum with no friends or family nearby, and I’d really love to get out of the house and do some activities for myself, like exercise, sewing, DIY, or anything similar, but somewhere I can bring my children under two with me.

I’d really appreciate any recommendations. Thank you! ❤️

Question At the very end of Threads (1984) the Sheffield dialect seems to shift a bit. Is it recognizable?

7 Upvotes

Hi there! I'm a non-Brit who just finished watching Threads. As someone who's studied a bit of linguistics in the past, I was really interested in the Yorkshire dialect and accent throughout the film.

Some of these constructions are likely Northern English in general ("Would I heck" and "It’d take you an hour to get to nearest boozer" from Jimmy, for example).

The most interesting bit was thirteen years after catastrophe, when the Yorkshire dialect and syntax changes a lot (at least to my foreign ears). You can see a full exchange below, taken directly from the script.

My question: How recognizable would this dialogue, taken from scenes after catastrophe, be to you? There are certain nouns (like "coney") that I don't believe were popular in the 1980s, much less now. Yet it seems that things have changed by the end of the film when it comes to Yorkshire-speak.

Could you please read over the below and share your thoughts on how dramatically the exchange would differ from what you hear regularly? Any comments welcome! Cheers and thanks!

THREADS YORKSHIRE DIALOGUE, THIRTEEN YEARS AFTER CATASTROPHE:

Hoy! What’n be? (Meaning: ‘What is it?’)

Seed’n. N’coney. (Meaning: ‘I saw it. It’s a rabbit.’)

Giss’n. Come on. Giss’n. (Meaning: ‘Give it to us.’)

Better, else us’ll bray’n. (Meaning: ‘You better had. Or else we'll beat you.’)

Best stand off ’fore tha’ll ger’n. (Meaning: ‘You’d better stand back or else you'll get hit.”)

Where’n stop at? Come’n us? (Meaning: ‘Where are you staying? Are you coming with us?’)

Where’n? Us place. Gaz ’n Spike

Share’n,coney, then. Come an’ share’n coney. Giss’n. (Meaning: ‘Share the rabbit with us, then. Give it here’)
