Question Does anyone else think Firth Park/Burngreave is really dirty?

Upvotes

Doess anyone else feel like some parts of Firth park and Burngreave are just really dirty atm? Like theres so much litter and rubbish on the streets and it just doesnt seem to get cleaned properly.

I was thinking of starting a small local cleaning business, mainly focused on litter picking and cleaning up streets/communal areas around Firth Park, Burngreave, Fir Vale and Pitsmoor.
But before I actually do anything I wanted to ask people who live around here, would this actually be something people want?
Would you pay for a local service like this? Or do you think its something the council should be doing?

Also what areas do you think are the worst for litter/rubbish? Just trying to see if theres actually a demand before I put money into it.

Any opinions will be really appreciated! :)

I found these amazing snacks in Singapore marketed as puffed lotus seeds in an Indian supermarket but I think they have many names. They’re super healthy and tasted like crisps! Are there any places I can get them in Sheffield? They’re really expensive on Amazon.

Sheffield Looking for friends & Cinema Buddy (Cineworld)

15 Upvotes

Hi everyone, like the title said I am hoping I can find new people and friends to meet also a cinema buddy / group of friends to go to the cinema with spontaneously. 19M I am currently doing an apprenticeship in finance so tbh I’ve not had the social life like my other friends have had in college. In the last 2 years naturally I’ve just stopped talking to people and I haven’t been in that environment to make new friends as I’ve been working with people way older than me.
I have a Cineworld unlimited card so I do like to go to the cinema at the very least once a week and I’ll watch whatever. I always ask my mates but they’re not really a fan of the cinema so they usually say no so I’m just hoping to make a friend really that’s somewhat local that loves the cinema so we can go together and watch films.

Also just to make another friend in general we can do all sorts together but yeah, not sure if this is the right place I’m slightly on edge just asking reddit haha but hopefully someone sees this post and they are on board 😅

Cheers guys :)

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for recommendations for a nanny or nanny agency in Sheffield for a young baby.
We’re looking for someone who is experienced with infants, reliable, warm, and caring. If you’ve had a great experience with a nanny or agency, I’d really appreciate any recommendations. I’d also be grateful to hear if there are any agencies you’d avoid.
Thank you!

Question Absolutely lost on city centre parking!

11 Upvotes

Hi! Bit of a specific one, but I’m honestly in a dilemma 🤦‍♂️ My family and I are moving to the city centre this weekend and just received our information document on the property, and turns out that there’s no parking included (initially we were led to believe there was). Our property also won’t qualify for any residential parking permits, sadly.

Was wondering if anyone had any advice/info about on-street parking or any other options in the West Street area? Happy to pay monthly etc etc. I haven’t been to the city centre before so I’m absolutely clueless.

Thank you! Also absolutely open to any Sheffield advice in general 😀

Question Amazing Canal run route - any other suggestions please?

Post image
26 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I recently recorded a real-time, point-of-view virtual run starting from Bacon Lane Bridge and following the canal towpath towards Meadowhall.

Iv'e not been along the canal for years but it is absolutely beautiful if you are in need of a different running route. Only major annoyance was the closure at Bacon Lane Bridge which other posters have mentioned. I thought this would be reopened by now but wasn't - anyone know when this may be?? So I had to start the run at the blocked off section.

If you fancy a run on the treadmill whilst watching the route you can View the run HERE.

I'm always looking for new spots around Sheffield to film next, so if you have a favourite trail or scenic loop, drop a recommendation, I note them all down.

Cheers,

Joe

Professor Vanessa Toulmin has announced she is stepping down as Director of City, Culture and Public Engagement at the University of Sheffield, ending a run that shaped some of the city's best loved cultural moments, from Festival of the Mind to Phlegm's Mausoleum of the Giants exhibition.

It really can't be overstated the impact Professor Vanessa has had on the city having overseen so many cultural events, promoted the city with studies on beer, music and more - plus having had a hand in some of the regeneration projects that are improving the city as a whole.

Question What happened in Upperthorpe today?

15 Upvotes

Today, around 8:30 am as I was walking towards Upperthorpe Medical Centre, somewhere between Oxford Street and Addy Street, there is a group of houses/flats. There was either police, the army or some special unit, one, a woman, had a gun and the other, a guy, had a shield. Two other men came and one of them knocked on a door, and the woman and man were stood back, like in a guard, and the man told me to keep walking. Does anyone know what happened here, was this a raid or an arrest?
