Sports Car Racing On Our Streets
Police pledged to put on extra patrols during Pakistani wedding celebrations after hired Ferraris, Bentleys and Porsches were used like rally cars around the streets of Tinsley. Inspector Fox's concern is that someone could suffer serious injuries as a result of the mindless nature of this driving.
Inspector Fox urged members of the community with any information about the cars and the drivers to contact crimestoppers on 0800 555111 or contact the Tinsley & Darnall Safer Neighbourhood team on 0114 252 3995.

Pensions Deal for Tinsley Bridge Workers
Shepcote Lane based Tinsley Bridge closed its pension fund 3 years ago. This caused a financial headache having to take consideration for any impact on the pension fund after any decision.
