Me too - but on the upside (small one) at least the nearest stop will soon be Rotherham after Carillion finish ? the extension there from Meadowhall !

Not me. I voted for a wider Yorkshire devo deal.

So did I - stronger together. We've experienced joint experiences with Sheffield before when they benefited from free bus travel at our expense ! SYPTE was a particular example that tells me to stay well clear of that scruffy hole Sheffield.
Yorkshire , countywide Devo only  -then Sheffield and Leeds can battle it out for top dog !

When are/were the results of that vote announced? or has it already been decided it'll be a Sheffield city region?

[WheatleyRover]

Think its already been done, Donny and Barnsley both voted in favour of a Yorkshire wide deal

[WheatleyRover]

I think Doncater is way better and has a lot more to offer than both Sheffield and Leeds and is a much nicer place, the potential of this Town is huge

It was decided a few weeks back. There was a very big majority in both Barnsley and Donny (from very low turn outs I have to add) to go for the wider Yorkshire option. Results here

I suspect that our being "done down" by Sheffield in the past was weighing on the voters minds at least in Donny

Now we have an interesting Election coming up because if I understand correctly the Govt WONT put off the Mayoral Elections in South Yorkshire and so there are Candidates Dan Jarvis for one ( a Barnsley MP) who are standing for that Mayors job so they can try to change things to a Yorkshire wide Mayor "from the inside"

He has said he will continue as an MP and take his Pay but will not collect any of the Mayors pay that he would be entitled to. Someone will correct my crap if I have got it wrong !

We also paid for the world student games in Sheffiled and I believe are still paying for it all these years later as it won't be paid off until 2024 and part of this initiative was to build the Don Valley Stadium which has now been demolished.

Why self- righteous , over the years they have used us and our monies - explain yourself man . I'm Sheffieldist,  you're a nationalist - at least I'm not calling them P.I.G.S. or slagging off the French and Germans  lol
