Dear Messenger
I read with interest Ahmir Hussain’s comments about the area in the last Messenger and would like to take this opportunity to endorse everything he says.
Having lived in this area since 1985, myself and my neighbours have watched with dismay its rapid descent from a pleasant, clean neighbourhood.
There is no quality of life here, no real community spirit, all our attempts to improve the area are thwarted by anti-social yobbos. The powers that be show scant interest in addressing these problems.
There are no real facilities, and many elderly folk live in fear and isolation in their own homes, afraid of what’s going on outside. So, Sheffield Council, tell us the answer to the question we’re all asking: Why is Page Hall/Firvale being treated in this shoddy and disgraceful way?
Yours sincerely,
Ian Wallis
