[edit] NPOV

Sorry to put that there, whoever started this article off has done a good job with it mainly (it needs referencing though).
The section I am concerned about is as follows:
Today Grenoside is a suburb of Sheffield and is mainly residential,a lot of development in the area has created an increase in population. ("recent development" would be better)
Grenoside contains many places to worship with three churches within the village, and one just outside. A period of change has taken place in Grenoside, with the Primary school, leaving the infant site and moving into a new building on the junior side of the road. The Junior building has been demolished. The community feel is in practice as most of the children that attend the school live in or just outside the village of Grenoside. (This sentence is awkward and possibly not very neutral)
The old council offices were demolished in 2006 to make way for a new build project. This was opposed by local residents but still got the go ahead. The car sales pitch on the same road as the old council offices have also applied to build more flats. It is anticipated that the old infant school buildings are likely to be converted into flats. This can only add to the population of what was once a quiet village. This section comes across as biased to me. I would change it to something like "to make way for a new build project, which was opposed by local residents. You don't need the "still got the go ahead", it smacks of sour grapes and is unnecessary. I'd remove the last sentence entirely and just add that further development in Grenoside will lead to population increase. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ohgodiva (talk • contribs) 12:04, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

I believe the original article is more than sufficient. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.39.232.194 (talk) 02:27, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
