Transcript

00:00 Tell me if you think Sheffield's got too many roadworks at the moment?

00:03 I suppose there does seem to be a lot going on where I live at Mosborough.

00:06 They're constantly digging up the roads, retarmacking it, digging it up, retarmacking it again.

00:10 One week it's water, next week it's BT for broadband.

00:14 So yeah, they don't seem to coordinate works.

00:17 There's a lot of digging up, relaying, digging up, relaying.

00:20 Could you tell me if you think there are too many roadworks in Sheffield at the moment?

00:24 I would say there is quite more than I'd hope.

00:30 Even now that I'm driving as well, there seems to be more problems with getting space on time.

00:38 And obviously that doesn't help with pollution, you know, cars being stationary and that.

00:44 But yes, I would agree that there is too many going on at the moment right now.

00:48 Could you tell me please if you think there are too many roadworks in Sheffield at the moment?

00:51 Yes, definitely.

00:53 And what do you think the worst spot is?

00:55 The worst one I'd say was West Bar.

00:57 It's an absolute nightmare down there.

00:59 I lived in Sheffield all my life. I lived in town most of my life.

01:03 And I wouldn't know my way around down there.

01:06 I've got a car and I wouldn't go down there because I don't know which way to go.

01:11 No one's telling you where to go.

01:13 The council doesn't tell you. They shut the roads.

01:15 They shut the roads up the road, on Division Street.

01:19 No one tells you where you can go.

01:21 You know what I mean?

01:23 Traffic in town is an absolute nightmare.
