Next phase of work beginning - December 2025

We started work on the Connecting Sheffield: City Centre project in February 2025. We’ve been replacing kerbing on Pinstone Street near the Town Hall and replacing footways and creating beds for planting towards the bottom of Pinstone Street near The Moor. We’ve also replaced footways and changed lines and signage on Charles Street, and we’re working on Surrey Street to create more room for outdoor seating for cafes and restaurants, and replacing kerbs and the road surface to make walking, wheeling and cycling easier and safer.

We’re starting the next phase of works in December 2025.

Where will the works be?

Pinstone Street

We’ll complete the footway replacement, areas for planting and carriageway surfacing at the bottom of Pinstone Street near The Moor.

Near the Town Hall, we’ll complete the kerb and footway replacement outside the Radisson Blu Hotel, and begin work on the Peace Gardens side of the street to bring it up to the same standard.

We’ll also start work to replace the footways on the section of Pinstone Street between Cross Burgess Street and Charles Street.

This will bring all the footways along Pinstone Street up to the same standard which will make walking and wheeling easier. And we’ll create a more attractive place for people to spend time.

As we work through this phase, and move around the area, we’ll need to make changes to traffic routes to allow our teams to work safely. We’ll keep you updated nearer the time the changes are needed.

Surrey Street

We’ll continue work on Surrey Street to replace kerbs, road surface and footways to make walking, wheeling and cycling easier. During this phase, we expect to complete the section we’re currently working on, and move further along Surrey Street to work further towards the junction with Norfolk Street.

Charles Street

We’ll begin work to allow some future changes on Charles Street near the Q-Park entrance to improve the cycle route in this area. We’ll also replace the footways on the opposite side of the road outside the Roebuck Tavern, and up around Howden House to make walking and wheeling easier.

Arundel Gate

We’ll replace footways either side of the Novotel entrance on Arundel Gate to make walking and wheeling easier. We’ll also remove an island on the Surrey Street side of the Novotel entrance to make it easier for traffic other than buses or taxis to avoid the bus gate.

We expect this phase of work to be finished in April 2026, and that the rest of the project will be complete in autumn 2027.

All businesses will be open as usual during the works, and we’ll make sure you can access them all.

There are still 9,000 parking spaces available in the city centre, and you can find out more about city centre car parking on the Sheffield City Council website. There’s also information about where you can park if you have a Blue Badge.

The City Centre Cycle Hub is open too, with secure cycle storage in the city centre if you’re heading in by cycle. There’s space for adapted cycles and cargo bikes too, and you can access the city centre and Meadowhall hubs with one subscription. Find out more on the City Centre Cycle Hub webpage.

We’ll keep you up to date here as the works progress.
