Which means I do have better local authorities. However, I am in Sheffield a lot for work, family and social reasons.

Sheffield Council have not been good for many years. They were bad when David Blunkett was running the council in the 1980's. However, the issue with PFI goes beyond one council and affects a greats deal of public sector investment. PFI is great for the contractors and terrible for everyone else.
