Darnall is filthy and we're sick of it. ACORN members from across Darnall are demanding the Council take action on the out-of-control litter and fly-tipping issue. We need: -> More skips -> More bins -> More street cleaning and we won't stop until we've won what we deserve.

Any response to this from Sheffield City Council or Douglas Johnson? Or do they plan to let rough sleeping continue to rise while council-owned homes sit empty? thestar.co.uk/news/politics/…

This is obviously fake, but you know he was still devastated when it took him two kicks to get through that fake front door. The fact that people like this are allowed to rent houses to tenants is an absolute disgrace.

Last year TSB made a £237million profit, paying a £120million dividend to parent company Banco Sabadell Group. They're profiting from the stress & misery of renters! RT to tell TSB: drop your 12 month limit on tenancy contracts & guarantee security & stability for renters!
