Lead Officer Name: Job Title: Andrew Marwood Senior Engineer - Strategic Traffic and Infrastructure, City Growth Department Date: 22/06/2021 Page 2 of 21 1.0 PROPOSAL 1.1 The multi-functional Grey to Green Phase 2 scheme around Castlegate, Exchange St/ Blonk St and Snig Hill was completed in September 2020. It links a pedestrianised Castlegate to the ‘hidden jewel’ of Victoria Quays and has transformed the almost redundant former Inner Ring Road into a green corridor with sustainable drainage, floral meadows, segregated cycle lanes and public art. 1.2 As part of the completed improvements to Snig Hill, an additional segregated cycle lane has been provided, which has enhanced the approach to Angel St. Angel St has a number of important buildings, such as Castle House (an important Listed Building in the area which now houses popular food hall Kommune and tech workspace Kollider), the National Video Games Museum and other shops, hotels, offices and residential areas leading to Commercial St, Fitzalan Square and High St. 1.3 Additional funding has now been secured from the European Regional Development Fund, Sheffield City Council and Yorkshire Water to extend the Grey to Green 2 improvements to Angel St, which remains a key link of the gateway into the City Centre. 1.4 The proposals shown as a concept design in appendix ‘A’ include: High quality new shrub and perennial flower planting as well as retention of existing trees. Improvements to the public open space outside Castle House, including additional seating, the replacement of the existing planted area with a new one at the junction of Angel St and Castle St, a new reconstructed wall and wider path. Better pedestrian connectivity between ‘Grey to Green’ phase one (West Bar), Snig Hill and the Future High Streets scheme proposed for High Street. Enhanced public spaces with perennial meadow planting, tree planting, quality materials and public art. Providing areas where water run-off can be collected and gradually released, resulting in reduced pressure on already overburdened waterways and therefore reducing the risk of future flooding. Segregated two-way cycle lane to connect Angel St to other riverside / local and national cycle routes with at least a 50mm level difference to the footway as agreed with the Access Liaison Group. Reduction of road width to a single carriageway to allow for the extended cycle lane and planting. Page 3 of 21 Wide and repaved footpaths in the same quality paving as Snig Hill. New Street furniture (cycle stands and bins). Two ‘bug hotels’ located within the planting (similar to those on Exchange Place). 1.5 Some of the road layout changes and traffic regulation measures that the scheme proposes can only be introduced following the making and implementation of a TRO. The key elements of the TRO plan for Angel Street as seen in appendix ‘B’ are: A proposed new location for the 24-hour taxi rank. Revised loading restrictions to compliment the new road layout. Revised taxi arrangements on a night so that after the last bus leaves the stops, taxis will be able to rank in the bus layby until the first bus in the morning at 5am. In addition, it is proposed that a new speed plateau (implemented via road humps) be introduced to compliment the recently introduced 20mph speed limit throughout the City Centre. 1.6 The main objectives of the scheme are to; Provide walkers and cyclists much easier and more enjoyable access to and from the city centre. Create the opportunity for outdoor events. Attract further investment into the area. Improve resilience to climate change. Increase the city centre’s biodiversity from the previously hard ‘grey’ environment. 2.0 How Does this Decision Contribute? 2.1 The project will contribute directly through its interventions to the overall strategic vision and objectives of Sheffield City Council and the Sheffield City Region. 2.2 The scheme contributes to the Sub Regional Vision which promotes the Sheffield City Region as a place to collaborate, to invest, to innovate and grow a business, live, work, play and study. It will be supported by an unrivalled skills base and quality of life. 2.3 The scheme supports the key actions set out in the City’s Transport Strategy, adopted by Cabinet in March 2019. Page 4 of 21 3.0 Has there been any consultation? 3.1 Consultation Strategy In January 2021, a ‘Concept Design’ drawing was finalised, illustrating the initial ideas and key elements of the scheme for consultation purposes See appendix ‘A’. A questionnaire was also designed. The consultation period ran from 18th January 2021 until 11th February 2021. As some of the road layout changes that the project is proposing could only be introduced following the making of a TRO, both the public/stakeholder and TRO consultations ran concurrently. 163 letters were posted to occupiers of the area within an agreed boundary relevant to the project (which included the TRO proposals). A copy of this letter is attached, see appendix ‘C’. Over 100 emails were sent to relevant groups/ stakeholders. Given the Covid 19 pandemic and the Government’s lockdown, face to face consultation events were not possible. Instead, the project team organised two on-line webinars (via zoom) on two different dates. These events were very well attended with attendants encouraged to submit their comments via the Citizenspace website (part of SCC) or by contacting the project client / consultation lead. The SCC website was also updated with the project information and consultation details. In addition to the above, an on-line questionnaire and all corresponding information was set up using the Council’s consultation platform, Citizenspace, seeking views on both the proposed improvements as well as on the statutory TRO by the deadline of 11th February 2021. A press release was issued to local newspapers. Statutory consultees for the TRO were notified of the proposals and consultation took place directly with the Access Liaison Group as well as the Cycle Forum. 3.2 Consultation Analysis 167 formal responses were received within the consultation period. The breakdown was as follows; 143 questionnaires were received online via the Citizenspace platform and 24 emails were also sent with comments to the client and consultation lead. From the questionnaires received (via Citizenspace), 143 in total, the breakdown is as follows (people may fall into more than one category); 82% were local residents 25% work locally Page 5 of 21 5% own or run a local business/ local property developer 11% were visitors to the area 6% other/ not answered In terms of the gender of those who completed questionnaires; 42.7% were female, 52.5 were male, 1.4% intersex/ other 3.4% did not answer In terms of disability, 84.6% considered themselves not to have a disability. 11.2% considered themselves to have a disability. 4.2% did not answer. The disabilities most prominent were; mobility or physical disability, long term illness, mental health and a hearing impairment.

Apart from a few dozen houses across the River Dun at Bridgehouses and in the Wicker, and a similar number at Parkhill, the whole of the built-up area was within a 600 yard radius centred on the Old Church.1 Within that brief radius the most northerly development was that at Bower Lane (Gibraltar), and only a limited incursion had been made hitherto into Colson Crofts (the fields between West Bar and the river). On the western and north-western edges there had been development along Hollis Croft and White Croft, and to a lesser degree along Pea Croft and Lambert Knoll (Scotland). To the south-west the building on the western side of Coalpit Lane was over the boundary in Ecclesall, but still a recognisable part of the town.2 To the south the gardens and any buildings were largely confined by the Park wall which kept Alsop Fields free of dwellings except for the ingress along the northern part of Pond Lane. The Rivers Dun and Sheaf formed a natural barrier on the east and north-east, and the low-lying Ponds area to the south-east was not ideal for house construction.

  • Outline Maps of Sheffield City Centre
    PERCEPTIONS OF IMPRECISE REGIONS IN RELATION TO GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION RETRIEVAL A study submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Information Management at THE UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD by LINDA MANSBRIDGE Abstract The Internet is an increasingly important source of information. Many Web searches are for geographical information or for other information within a geographical context. However, there is a disparity between the way in which geographical information is stored in information systems and the way in which most people think about geographical space. While in some cases this arises from problems with place names, much ‘everyday’ geography concerns imprecise or vague regions which have no single or officially-recognized boundary. The boundary of an imprecise region is, by definition, vague. The organization of geographical space into areas bounded, usually by lines, is a necessary component of having a sense of ‘place’. Research in the early days of GIS necessarily focused on the technology required for establishing effective systems for presenting geographical information. However, in more recent years, research has involved workers from a wide variety of disciplines looking at the ways in which humans perceive their geographical world. The field of psychology has been instrumental in investigations into how humans form cognitive maps, a mental representation of the world around them. Cognitive maps do not necessarily match the empirical reality of geography very closely; distortions in the perception of location and distance may arise from individual perceptions of a place. The aim of this study was to investigate how people perceive Sheffield City Centre, which is a ‘real’ place, known by that name, but having no single official boundary.

I’m dropping my t’s in an effort to fit in. I don’t think it’s working. Or that it suits me. I’m not sure anyone but me cares.

I am dazzled and overwhelmed But each day I am more in love. 6 Sheffield has produced an array of music stars, often known for their understated but witty character. The artists focussed on here are Pulp. Arctic Monkeys, The Everly Pregnant Brothers, Richard Hawley and then a select assortment from other writers and artists, including poets. To finish, two famous recent films, set in Sheffield, are introduced. What emerges from all is the sense of raw human existence and the peculiarities (and struggles) of everyday life.
