SHEFFIELD CITY COUNCIL Central Community Assembly Report SHEFFIELD CITY COUNCIL Central Community Assembly 8 Report Report of: Report of the Community Assembly Manager and the Director of Parks and Countryside ___________________________________________________________ Date: March 24 th 2011 ___________________________________________________________ Subject: Central Assembly Parks Report ___________________________________________________________ Author of Report: Mary Bagley. Director of Parks and Countryside David Aspinall – Community Assembly Manager Stuart Turner, Acting Parks Tasking Officer and Programme Manager, Parks and Countryside Service (0114 273 6956) __________________________________________________ Summary: This report provides further details on three areas of the Parks and Countryside service: 1. A brief outline of the potential budget implications for Parks and Countryside Services given the 16% budget cuts for 2011-12 and future service shape 2. An update on the devolution pilot project within the Central Community Assembly 3. An update on Parks and Countryside priorities and Voice and Choice within the Central Community Assembly _______________________________________________________ Reasons for Recommendations: • It is important that the Parks and Countryside Service and Community Assembly work closely together in order to maximise the benefits from the resources available by providing information and guidance on technical, operational and financial options and opportunities 1 • The provision, quality and maintenance of green spaces throughout the Central area can often be the basis of passionate support and/or complaints from local people. ‘A City of Opportunity’, Sheffield’s Corporate Plan 2010-13 identifies the main priorities for the City and its residents. “Improving Parks and Open spaces” is a key priority area within this Plan and the City has recently agreed a Green and Open Spaces Strategy 2010-2030 to move this agenda forward and raise the standard of green spaces throughout the City. This coordinated approach will help to target resources effectively and improve overall quality of green space.” • A review of the Parks and Countryside Devolution Pilot Project is due to take place in April 2011 and it is important that there is a contribution from all stakeholders in order to accurately assess successes and areas for improvement. Recommendations: • The Community Assembly agree the service priorities outlined in section 4.6 Next Steps and continue to consider further service priorities and work with the Parks Tasking Officer to deliver these priorities for local communities. • The Central Community Assembly continues to support quality uplift work in line with the Green and Open Spaces Strategy, Sheffield Standard. • The Central Community Assembly contributes to the Parks and Countryside Devolution Pilot Project review in April 2011. ___________________________________________________________ Background Papers: Devolution of Parks and Countryside Services, Interim Review, January 2011 Category of Report: OPEN 2 Statutory and Council Policy Checklist Financial Implications YES Cleared by: Legal Implications YES Equality of Opportunity Implications NO Tackling Health Inequalities Implications YES Human rights Implications NO Environmental and Sustainability implications YES Economic impact YES Community safety implications NO Human resources implications NO Property implications YES Area(s) affected Central Area Sheffield Relevant Cabinet Portfolio Leader Cllr Scriven Relevant Scrutiny Committee if d ecision called in Is the item a matter which is reserved for approval by the City Council?

An outline of the potential budget implications for Parks and Countryside Services given the 16% budget reduction faced for 2011-12 and future service shape 2. An update on the devolution pilot project within the Central Community Assembly 3. An update on Parks and Countryside priorities and Voice and Choice within the Central Community Assembly 2.0 WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR SHEFFIELD PEOPLE 2.1 By working closely with the Community Assemblies, the Tasking Officers and dedicated project officers for each Assembly will enable the local community to be more involved and help choose and prioritise future green space improvements. 3.0 OUTCOME AND SUSTAINABILITY 3.1 Improved open spaces contribute to a number of Sheffield City Council’s ‘City of Opportunity’ Corporate Plan priorities including: • Improving parks and open spaces • Increasing participation in sport and physical activity • Reducing anti social behaviour and crime • Improving children’s health 4.0 THE FULL PROPSAL 4.1 The Parks and Countryside budget for 2011/12 was agreed th at full Council on 4 March 2011. This information will be used by each Community Assembly working with the Parks and Countryside Tasking Officers to ensure the Parks and Countryside Business Plans reflect local people’s priorities and needs. 4 4.2 Parks and Countryside Budget Proposal The Parks and Countryside Service leads on the development and implementation of Sheffield’s Green & Open Space Strategy and is responsible for the management of the council’s parks, countryside, trees, woodlands and other green spaces. Increasingly, the service provided is being delivered more locally, aligned to the seven Community Assembly areas to serve local needs and priorities. This approach includes working with local communities and ‘Friends’ groups to develop both the landscape and its usage. It also involves attracting external funding to enhance or to match council funding and in enabling others to contribute towards the management, maintenance and development of our parks and green spaces. When combined together, this overall approach is contributing towards achieving our shared vision for there to be quality green and open spaces - in all areas of the city - for current and future generations to use and enjoy. Due to the significant reduction in the budget available, there is now a pressing need to remodel how the Parks and Countryside service will continue to be provided for the people of Sheffield. Essentially, the Service will need to remain affordable and operate within its available budget. Aligning our services to work even more closely with the Central Area Community Assembly will be key in ensuring that local priorities are considered and addressed. Summary details of the budget and the proposed future shape of the Parks and Countryside Service, which includes greater working alignment to the Community Assemblies, is attached as Appendix One 4.3 Devolution of Parks and Countryside Service – Pilot Project Progress In late October 2010, the Community Assemblies and the Parks and Countryside Service began a pilot project to devolve Parks and Countryside services to the individual Community Assemblies. Through Consultation with the Community Assembly teams, 5 objectives were identified: 1. To support the 7 Community Assemblies on current and future local service delivery decisions, by providing information and guidance on technical, operational and financial options and opportunities. 2. To develop and agree a tasking role between the Community Assembly and Parks and Countryside 5 service provision helping to integrate service delivery. 3. To support Community Assembly service requirements within the Parks and Countryside Business Plan helping to deliver responsive services to meet local needs and wants. 4. To support the Community Assemblies to develop a greater understanding of how green spaces are managed and maintained. 5. To enable Community Assemblies to direct future budgets and services for their local green spaces. To deliver these objectives, seven ‘Parks Tasking Officers’ were identified within Parks and Countryside, to align with the seven Community Assemblies. 4.4 Recent Achievements Since October 2010, the Parks Tasking Officer for the Central Community Assembly has facilitated the following: • Specific briefings on parks service and green space management issues • Closer working with the Assembly and local ward members • Discussions on prioritising Parks and Countryside services • Internal staff discussions regarding Parks and Countryside service delivery across the Community Assembly • Ensuring procurement of work and allocation of funding from the Community Assembly discretionary budgets to provide parks and open space improvements. All of which has been through consultation with the Community Assembly: o Niagara Weir, Middlewood – fish-pass landscaping works o Tree planting / community forestry initiatives o Sheffield Standard quality improvements at Walkley Bank Plantation o Master Planning and project planning at sites including: Lowfields, Ben Lane (Spider Park), Ponderosa/Crookes Valley/Philadelphia Gardens • A more coordinated approach to Parks and Countryside services, achieved through improved communication with the Community Assembly Team 6 4.5. In addition to the work undertaken by the Parks Tasking Officer, other Parks and Countryside officers continue to meet with ‘Friends of’ groups and local Communities to consult and support work throughout the Community Assembly A list of the key managed sites, quality assessments, specific features and an overview of the overall maintenance expenditure in the area is attached as Appendix Two. 4.6 Next Steps - Priorities for 2011-12 Through consultation with local communities, the Community Assembly and Parks and Countryside officers, the

  • The Economic Development of Sheffield and the Growth of the Town Cl740-Cl820
    The Economic Development of Sheffield and the Growth of the Town cl740-cl820 Neville Flavell PhD The Division of Adult Continuing Education University of Sheffield February 1996 Volume One THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF SHEFFIELD AND THE GROWTH OF THE TOWN cl740-c 1820 Neville Flavell February 1996 SUMMARY In the early eighteenth century Sheffield was a modest industrial town with an established reputation for cutlery and hardware. It was, however, far inland, off the main highway network and twenty miles from the nearest navigation. One might say that with those disadvantages its future looked distinctly unpromising. A century later, Sheffield was a maker of plated goods and silverware of international repute, was en route to world supremacy in steel, and had already become the world's greatest producer of cutlery and edge tools. How did it happen? Internal economies of scale vastly outweighed deficiencies. Skills, innovations and discoveries, entrepreneurs, investment, key local resources (water power, coal, wood and iron), and a rapidly growing labour force swelled largely by immigrants from the region were paramount. Each of these, together with external credit, improved transport and ever-widening markets, played a significant part in the town's metamorphosis. Economic and population growth were accompanied by a series of urban developments which first pushed outward the existing boundaries. Considerable infill of gardens and orchards followed, with further peripheral expansion overspilling into adjacent townships. New industrial, commercial and civic building, most of it within the central area, reinforced this second phase. A period of retrenchment coincided with the French and Napoleonic wars, before a renewed surge of construction restored the impetus.

  • 2012-2016 Complete Appendix
    APPENDIX 1 Detailed Compartment Descriptions Wood 2 24.6 ha in total Sub-Compartment 114a - 15.3 ha This extensive and varied area is typified by an open canopy of frequent to occasional mature Scots Pine and European Larch intermixed with mature well- crowned Oak. Other mature broadleaves are rare but include Sweet Chestnut and Beech. This overlays a sub-canopy of 25-40 year old, pole-stage Silver Birch (Oak, Yew, Rowan and Sweet Chestnut), which in places with few mature trees, is dominant. This has developed following extensive storm damage in the early 1960s. The shrub layer is sparse, but includes Holly, and occasional Hazel. The field layer is characterised by Bramble, (and Bracken), over locally abundant Bluebell, Soft Creeping-grass, and Broad Buckler Fern, with occasional Wood Anemone. Flush lines along streams and drainage channels support Alder, and Hazel, over a more diverse field layer. The south-eastern third of this sub-compartment was thinned in 2001. Sub-Compartment 114b - 6.4 ha Dominated by well-spaced, large-crowned mature Beech trees with a concentration of over-mature (150 years+) trees near Whirlowdale Road. These are intermixed with occasional mature European Larch, Oak and Sweet Chestnut. Pole-stage, 25-40 year old Silver Birch dominated natural regeneration (with Beech, Rowan and Oak) occurs here and there as a sub-canopy, where the Beech stand is more open. Throughout much of the stand, bare ground is dominant because of the closed canopy above, although young advanced Beech regeneration is locally frequent, though suppressed. Holly forms the dominant species of a poorly-developed shrub layer.

  • Smithy Wood History & Significance
    Smithy Wood History & Significance SMITHY WOOD: A brief history and an appraisal of the significance of the site Melvyn Jones THE SIGNIFICANCE OF ITS NAME The name Smithy Wood immediately tells us of the antiquity of woodland on this site (Smith,1961). It has long been believed that the name Smithy Wood relates to the utilisation of the ironstone seam (Clayband Ironstone) that lies beneath it and for the charcoal from the trees growing on the site (they would have been coppiced to ensure a sustainable supply) by the monks of Kirkstead Abbey in Lincolnshire. The monastery was granted a large site on nearby Thorpe Common (about a mile to the east) in which to establish a grange (an outlying economic unit) by Richard de Busli the Norman lord of the manor in 1161 on which to establish two furnaces and two forges. About the same date they were also granted several hundred acres in the adjoining parish of Ecclesfield by the lord of the manor of Hallamshire, Richard de Lovetot. Significantly, the ancient name for what is now Kirkstead Abbey Grange is the Monks’ Smithy Houses (Hall, 1937). Stained glass window in the chapter house, Sheffield cathedral depicting the Kirkstead Abbey monks manufacturing iron at their grange on Thorpe Common MJ / Sept 13 1 Smithy Wood History & Significance No doubt throughout the rest of the medieval period after the departure of the monks (the Thorpe Common site became part of the lord of the manor’s deer park in the second half of the thirteenth century) Smithy Wood would have been used successively as wood pasture and a coppice wood.
