It's a sign that, after what has felt like an endless winter, things are coming back to life.Netherthorpe newsSo let's start with Netherthorpe, what's been going on in Netherthorpe.So one thing is that South Yorkshire Police have warned people about being targeted in robberies when you arrange to sell something through Facebook Marketplace.And apparently there have been five incidents in Netherthorpe where people have met up with a buyer to sell a laptop, a camera, a car, and they have been basically ambushed and assaulted and threatened and had their items stolen.So it's worth being aware, if you're selling something on Facebook Marketplace or any kind of app of safety, if it's of any value. So things like taking someone with you if you can, checking the rest of their social media profile if somebody gets in touch. If you get any kind of weird vibes about it, just cancel, that kind of thing.It's difficult to balance being cautious versus not living a normal life, but it's worth being aware that this has been happening.Another bit of Netherthorpe news is that up in Walkley, residents have voted to introduce a 20 mile an hour speed limit in parts of Walkley.This is relevant in Netherthorpe because Netherthorpe is one of the areas that could also become part of this 20 mile an hour scheme, depending on what happens in a consultation.In the Walkley consultation, 135 people voted in favour of these 20 mile an hour zones, 27 people voted against. So I would imagine there will be a similar vote in Netherthorpe, if it is agreed that this is one of the areas that should happen next.Councillor Ben Miskell told Sheffield Star that it helps to make communities safer and healthier environments.So keep an eye out, Netherthorpe residents, for a consultation on this topic.And the final bit of Netherthorpe news is that you may well remember that in March 2024, a young man was murdered in the Ponderosa Park.Sacad Ali was stabbed to death. It was obviously horrible. And a short documentary has been made about this.It's only 12 minutes long and Sarah Marshall from the Sheffield Star talks through the facts of the case and what happened at the trials and a bit about the different people involved.I watched it with a bit of wariness because a lot of the reporting on this case at time felt quite lurid. I think due to the circumstances involving competing drug dealers and Sacad being lured to his killers by a sex worker.But actually, it's just tragic all round. And this mini documentary is less full of the scandal and more just factual and contextual about the case.It is available to watch on a website called ...
