Sheffield’s city centre is in an exciting period of transformation. It is the economic centre of Sheffield and of South Yorkshire, with huge potential for growth. As more people live, work, and shop in our city centre, the demand for space into and around the centre will increase. To shape how our city centre public spaces and streets should look and feel in the future, we want to develop a City Centre Access and Movement Plan.
We want this plan to be bold and transformational. Our vision is for a cleaner, greener, thriving city centre, with more space for people. And we need to ensure everyone has access to reliable, sustainable and realistic transport options. Ultimately, we believe great cities should focus on moving people efficiently and sustainably, creating spaces that work for everyone. We’re already making changes to the city centre to support our ambitions through projects like the Connecting Sheffield: City Centre project, which will begin construction in February 2025 and link key developments like The Moor, Heart of the City and improvements on Fargate.
The Connecting Sheffield: City Centre project will:
Create open, attractive places and spaces in the city centre where people want to stop, relax and spend time.
Reduce bus journey times across the city centre and improve reliability, making the bus a more attractive choice for people.
Create direct, safe and attractive walking, wheeling and cycling routes through the city centre.
Enable more people to walk, wheel and cycle, creating a safer, more vibrant and less polluted environment for city living.
Link the improvement works on Fargate, developments at the Heart and The Moor, continuing the development of our thriving city centre.
Bring the Outdoor City into the city and encourage visitors, commuters and residents to enjoy the outdoor elements of the city centre by creating green streets with high-quality planting and landscaping. We'll also integrate sustainable urban drainage to slow the flow of water and reduce the risk of flooding.
The City Centre Access and Movement Plan survey closed on Tuesday 28 January. Thank you for your input.
We’re now working through the responses to understand what’s important to you when it comes to city centre spaces, streets and transport for the future.
Look out for updates on next steps on this page.
