Sheffield Street Tree Strategy Development Group
Sheffield Street Tree Strategy Development Group i-Tree Eco Stratified Inventory Report November 2019 The Authors James Watson - Treeconomics Reviewed By: Danielle Hill - Treeconomics This assessment was carried out by Treeconomics 1 Executive Summary In this report, the street trees in Sheffield have been assessed based on the benefits that they provide to society. These trees, which form part of Sheffield’s natural capital, are generally recognised and appreciated for their amenity, presence and stature in the cityscape and surroundings. However, society is often unaware of the many other benefits (or ecosystem services) that trees provide to those living in our towns and cities. The trees in and around our urban areas (together with woodlands, shrubs, hedges, open grass, green space and wetland) are collectively known as the ‘urban forest’. This urban forest improves our air, protects watercourses, saves energy, and improves economic sustainability1. There are also many health and well-being benefits associated with being in close proximity to trees and there is a growing research base to support this2. Sheffield’s street trees are a crucial part of the city’s urban forest, rural areas and woodlands. Many of the benefits that Sheffield’s urban forest provides are offered through its street trees. Economic valuation of the benefits provided by our natural capital3 (including the urban forest) can help to mitigate for development impacts, inform land use changes and reduce any potential impact through planned intervention to avoid a net loss of natural capital. Such information can be used to help make better management decisions. Yet, as the benefits provided by such natural capital are often poorly understood, they are often undervalued in the decision making process.

Sharrow Kickz
Project Name: Sharrow Kickz Location: Sharrow Safer Neighbourhood Team, Sheffield Summary Sharrow Safer Neighbourhood Area is located adjacent to Sheffield City Centre and covers 4 sq kilometres, has a population of 29612 and, according to the most recent census data is arguably the most diverse community in Sheffield. Research identified many young people within the community were at risk of involvement in anti social behaviour and crime. In addition, the findings also found many members of the community personally witnessed youth related ASB and crime however were reluctant to formally report the incidents. This created the perception that Police and partners were not equipped to deal with the situation. Community surveys highlighted rubbish and litter, criminal damage and teenagers hanging around streets were the main factor on quality of life in Sharrow. Analysis was subsequently commissioned from South Yorkshire Police to assess figures relating to ASB/Crime in addition to identifying problematical locations and times. Partnership consultation provided qualitative data from the community. Common to both quantitative and qualitative data sets was the perception and reality of youth related ASB/Crime and lack of resources. Previous responses were disjointed and all stakeholders showed a willingness to deliver an effective sustainable solution to the concerns. In July 2007, the Sheffield United Kickz project was piloted in Sharrow to analyse if the proposed intervention would be effective. Partners joined to formulate a steering group to oversee strategic direction and delivery. Kickz, an avenue to provide young people with constructive and diversionary activities, was piloted on Wednesday nights. The project was based at Sheffield United Ground and involved members of the community to become coaches, mentors and conflict resolution point of contacts.

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.
