On Thursday 20th March there will be a linked site visit to Bowden Housteads Wood and Sheffield’s Manor Estate, to look firsthand at Sustainable Urban Drainage Schemes in practice and indeed at the consequences of failure.

  • Strategy Development Process
    Move More Strategy Development Process Over 100 individuals from many different organisations have had the opportunity to contribute to the development of the Move More Strategy 2016-2021. This strategy was always intended to build upon the first Move More strategy and has been pitched as a ‘refresh’ rather than a ‘big bang’ change. This document outlines the strategy development process. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the process has been largely undertaken online. We have been mindful that many people were extremely busy and had limited capacity to contribute. Every effort was made to create opportunities for meaningful interactions with stakeholders in a range of ways that were not burdensome to individuals or organisations. A small team comprising Dr Anna Lowe (National Centre for Sport & Exercise Medicine-Sheffield), Tom Hughes (Yorkshire Sport Foundation), Dr Helen Quirk (University of Sheffield) and Dr Cath Homer (Sheffield Hallam University) led the strategy consultation process; they continue to work collaboratively with a range of key stakeholders, partners and critical friends. 1. The strategy development process 1.1 Preparatory work Strategy planning began in June 2020, desk-based research was undertaken in the form of auditing and reviewing. Audit of the first strategy The Move More Strategy 2021-2026 is intended to be a refresh of the first strategy, building upon these solid foundations and doing more of ‘what works’ in our city. The original Move More Strategy was reviewed, and actions audited against the progress made. We recognised that huge progress and achievements had been made outside of the actions outlined in the strategy, highlighting the need to be flexible in our ongoing approach.

  • April 2015 Forecast
    weatherwithouttechnology.co.uk APRIL 2015 Preamble. Tree of the month up to 14th is the alder, (see previous month), thereafter the willow, above. Welcome to the April website. Winter is now behind us - for the greater part - having said that there is still the outside chance of the odd snowfall here and there. Easter is with us, some of the national press tell us it will be a 'heat wave Easter,' the methodology here suggests otherwise, the cold soil and conditions from March are still with us and the first moon of April is not good either, therefore the prediction remains cold and damp. Warmth will not be with us until the last two weeks in April. Then again I may be completely wrong! If cold enough, snow is a distinct possibility too. For the cycling enthusiasts the Yorkshire cycle event 1st -3rd May, I think will be fine and dry for you, and the first real visible 'spin-off' from the magnificent 2014 Tour de France event. An apology - to those who had hoped to hear me on BBC Radio4 Sunday 1st March on Broadcasting House - the script went to the editor and a format agreed. However as I find with some broadcasters, the presenter runs the show, and unless he reads his brief before he starts he has no knowledge (or maybe no interest) in the lesser subjects, therefore the running time gets squeezed and what had the makings of a really interesting short succinct item just got eclipsed - a hatchet job? Maybe yes. A waste of space and my time as far as I was concerned - no wonder the BBC loses money! However when the presenter and editor work as a team it all runs smoothly and coherently, as it does with The Paul Hudson Weather Show on BBC Radio York on Sunday mornings - an example of good broadcasting, with excellent content and interest, it makes good radio.
