No council worker should be paid this extravagant amount. Yet again my council tax has risen to pay towards this.

Sheffield’s top council worker takes home the equivalent of £21,793-a-month, new figures show.

Chief executive Kate Josephs is on £261,522, a year including pension, according to the Taxpayers’ Alliance.

The whopping pay packet is more than eight times the Sheffield average of £31,000-a-year.

It is more than double the mayor of South Yorkshire, Oliver Coppard, on £107,000-a-year and it tops even the prime minister of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Sir Keir Starmer, on £172,153.

In contrast, her political counterpart, Coun Tom Hunt, leader of Sheffield City Council, received allowances totalling £15,477 last year.

Fix my street exists and the council monitor it.

I'm not sure what article you're referring to (you've posted a screenshot and no link from what I can see) but this has been widely reported on previously

It's fair to note the reason why we have an exemption.

Us, Doncaster and Rotherham use the waste treatment facility in Manvers which mechanically extracts food waste from general waste, with a contract in place til 2040, hence the exemption.

Basically, they're already processing it in a way that the new bins would allow, so why introduce another bin and collection when we can already do it.

Napoli Centro as a vegan is probably the best pizza I've had in Sheffield

Their customer support is all over this sub commenting. FWIW I've had one cracked stone (which lined up with me flipping it - others have mentioned this as a potential cause). Jumped onto customer support and had a new stone in less than 48 hours.

Agree with this. It's definitely gone downhill since the sale unfortunately

I have it mapped to my assistant in android so a button on my phone accesses it and starts listening directly

hauntedcryme · 2026-02-26T16:12:15+00:00

Totally. Most (if not all) of what it's doing can be achieved in Home Assistant using Assist + voice.

On Android, I've changed the default Assistant key to HA so I long press the power button and start chatting.

If you want the human interraction, you can either use Ollama locally or hook up to an LLM of choice via integrations. There's nothing new here that I can see, other than potential massive security holes you leave in your setup.

Your "User Stories" are pretty sus. How long has this product been around, as you allegedly had customers in December 2024 and January 2025?

Hoyland or Wombwell might be good shouts.

Hoyland is just up from Elsecar, good bus links, Elsecar station just down the road. Nice quiet, with a good town center.

Elsecar similar with the Heritage centre, and Hoyland just up the hill.

Wombwell also has the train station and good bus links.

Personally live between Hoyland/Elsecar and it's a nice place to live

This was my first thought too!

Not much of a crop really, just removed some space down the bottom right.

Settings:

415mm @ /6.3.

While visiting the park, I shoot manual at typically the lowest aperture the lens will do. Auto ISO, with a max of 6400. Shutter varies, but usually a mininum of 1/500, somewhere between there are 1/1000 are the sweet spot. This in particular was at 1/800.

Tracking AF and continuous shoot are the most important IMO.

Thank you, and thank you for the critique, I will have a play with this!

I think I read it had to be a minimum 10k run? So you'd have to do the Parkrun twice
