  • Introducing the S20 Wildlife Corridor – Summary Paper an Alternative Proposal for Owlthorpe Fields: Towards a Heathier South East Sheffield
    Introducing the S20 Wildlife Corridor – Summary Paper An alternative proposal for Owlthorpe fields: Towards a heathier South East Sheffield Owlthorpe Fields Action Group & Dr Patrick Harrison (Department of Biological and Marine Sciences, University of Hull) Summary This document presents a summary of the vision for a wildlife corridor in South East Sheffield for the health and wellbeing of the communities in the Beighton, Mosborough and Birley wards by joining up local wildlife sites and, importantly, incorporating Owlthorpe Fields which has been rewilding for 20+ years. Aims and Outcomes The aim of the S20 wildlife corridor is to link up and enhance sites of ecological interest forming a 2-mile long wildlife corridor within the Beighton & Mosborough wards of South East Sheffield. We believe the incorporation of Owlthorpe Fields (including the existing Local Wildlife Sites) into the wildlife corridor and linking it to Westfield Plantation, Waterthorpe Park, Waterthorpe Meadows and Beighton Ponds (Fig. 1), is a far more positive vision than the destruction of this ecologically rich, rewilded location for housing, especially considering the area already has substantial housing with its associated congestion. By taking an interdisciplinary approach and linking ecology, community health and school attainment together, we believe we can have a positive impact on the lives of local people. The wildlife corridor has four aims: 1. To become a space for the benefit of the local community, on their doorstep, where people can engage with nature and which can provide relaxation and exercise to benefit both physical and mental health; 2. At the local level, enhance and link several wildlife habitats such as meadows and wetlands to increase the biodiversity of flora and fauna in the area; 3.

  • Sheffield Overview
    Clouds over Sheffield © Paul Richards Sheffield Overview “The setting of Sheffield in its ‘golden frame’, with its hills and valleys and the heritage of trees and parks, continues to be a major asset that is appreciated by residents and visitors alike. The natural environment with its variety of wildlife is valuable in its own right but can also contribute to the economic and social vitality of the city. The green spaces within the built- up areas make an important contribution to the life of the city. The challenge is to protect and enhance the city’s natural assets both to support the regeneration of the city and as features of value in their own right.” Challenge 13: A city that prizes its green environment Adopted Sheffield Local Plan/Sheffield Development Framework, Core Strategy Sheffield City Council, 2009 7 Sheffield in context: landscape and topography For the purpose of this report, the ‘Sheffield district’ is the whole Sheffield region, including areas of the Peak District National Park in Sheffield, and is shown below (Figure 1). Sheffield sits within the south-west corner of South Yorkshire with a third of its area falling within the Peak District National Park boundary (shaded area). The district is defined by the Unitary Authority boundary (Sheffield City Council; SCC) but is divided between two planning authorities: SCC and the Peak District National Park Authority (PDNPA) which covers the western area. Figure 1 (left): the Sheffield district as covered by the report. The green shaded area lies within the Dark Peak region of the Peak District National Park; map credit 3 - see Appendix for credit details Figure 2 (below): National Character Areas (NCAs) within which Sheffield lies.

  • Life in Christ Church Dore A
    Role Description Details of Post Role Title: Oversight Minister in the Abbeydale, Dore, Totley & Millhouses Mission Area and Priest in Charge of Christ Church Dore Name of Benefices: Christ Church Dore (Principal responsibility) All Saints Totley Abbeydale & Millhouses (St John Abbeydale and Holy Trinity Millhouses) Deanery: Ecclesall Archdeaconry: Sheffield and Rotherham Context The role of Oversight Minister is to work in partnership with the Bishop, fellow Clergy and Lay Leaders, and all the baptised members of the diocese of Sheffield, to help realise the Diocesan strategy to be a flourishing and generous Diocese of Sheffield by 2025: Renewed, Released and Rejuvenated! We seek to be a Diocese Renewed in the grace and power of God, by a constant reliance on the Holy Spirit. We seek to be a Diocese Released from the constraints which hold us back from mission, and released, as the whole people of God for the whole mission of God. We seek to be a Diocese Rejuvenated — partly through a dedicated and sustained programme of outreach to families, children and young people, and partly through the creation of 75 new congregations, including 25 in our church schools. The Parish of Dore is set within an active Mission Area which also includes the parishes of All Saints Totley and Abbeydale & Millhouses (St John the Evangelist & Holy Trinity). This mission area is served by two stipendiary clergy, who share in the oversight of the whole mission area with specific principal responsibilities. Whilst the previous incumbent of Dore was also Priest in Charge of All Saints Totley, the bishop is currently in advanced discussions that should lead to an additional stipendiary oversight minister appointment in the mission area with principal responsibility for Totley.
