Do you think Sheffield has too many roadworks at the moment and where are the worst ones?
00:05
I do think they have too many roadworks and most of them are in the city centre.
00:08
Is there a particular street or...
00:10
As you're coming in, literally as you're coming into the city centre, down by the museum, down by there, around there, the transport museum.
00:21
Right, yeah, I know what you mean, West Bar.
00:23
Yeah, down there.
00:27
In the city centre I think. It's everywhere. Everywhere is all bad.
00:32
Do you think the roadworks are worse at the moment than they are usually in the city?
00:38
Yeah. Yeah, because they're changing all the roads.
00:41
I know they're doing everything to all the roadworks but the roads never seem to be any better.
00:46
All the potholes are still right, they're having everything. It's never really been sorted.
00:51
It's not working to get rid of that.
00:55
Do you think Sheffield has got too many roadworks at the moment and where are the worst ones?
00:59
It's very difficult to tell because it's difficult to get into Sheffield in general.
01:03
So, round about the old Grosvenor Hotel has always been a nightmare for some time.
01:11
They seem to be shutting off roads more and more, discouraging motorists coming in there.
01:16
So, I tend to park on the perimeter and walk in.
01:19
Yeah, it's definitely got too many. It's always had too many.
01:23
Westbars, going down past the old fire museum and onto the dual carriageway down there.
01:29
A lot going on down there at the moment.
01:30
Does it feel like we've got more than usual at the moment?
01:32
Yeah, definitely. Especially with the road closures still in place from Covid and bus gates being added.
01:39
It makes it very difficult driving around.
01:41
Could you tell me please if you think Sheffield's got too many roadworks at the moment and where the worst ones are in your opinion?
01:47
There seems to be roadworks everywhere but where I live round Greenhill, Bocking Lane, Meadowhead, it's just horrific there.
01:55
Does it seem like more than usual at the moment?
01:58
It does seem like more than usual. They seem to pop up overnight for no apparent reason.
02:03
Well, it's just the whole congestion, isn't it? From Ettlesall Road to Aberdale Road, all the traffic lights.
02:11
In the evenings and in the morning, it's just chock-a-block.
02:14
Is that down to the roadworks?
02:16
Well, it's a bit of everything. Waterworks, gas main, everything.
02:21
I don't think the council's got it right to be honest.
02:25
Do you think there seems to be more roadworks at the moment than there usually are?
02:30
Yeah, but even got to look round at the state of things.
02:35
Look at Farrar Gate there. It's a disgrace.
02:40
Oh
