Should Meadowhall be in the chargeable Clean Air Zone?

Transcript

00:00No, because it would stop people shopping at Meadowhall.

00:02Like my brother, he's a tradesman, he has a family car that his wife uses,

00:07he drives a tradesman van, so he can't come into Sheffield Town Centre.

00:12If he's working in Sheffield Town Centre, the other side of Sheffield, and wants to come

00:17to my mother in North Sheffield, he can't come through the town centre straight from work,

00:22so he has to do a massive detour to go and see his 88-year-old mum and take some shopping.

00:28So, although I agree with what they're doing, trying to keep the area cleaner,

00:33it's not terribly convenient, so don't make it go into other areas where it will stop

00:39the movement of people and the flow of traffic as well.

00:44Health to people, you know, and apart from that, you've got the trains nearby, diesel,

00:51so there's fumes coming off the trains as well, constantly, so yeah, it should be,

00:57you know, I'm a big fan that they're supposed to be doing this, creating an electric rail system,

01:05it needs to be done quick now, I think. And such as Meadowhall, where trains come in and out

01:11all the time, an electrical rail system would be, you know, it really needs to be done.

01:17You've got railways already, haven't you?

01:17Yeah, yeah, yeah, we used to work on the railways, but yeah, it should be extended, I think.
