The Active Neighbourhood in Walkley

In Spring 2022, we put traffic filters, pedestrian crossings, and one-way systems in place to begin the trial of the Active Neighbourhood in Walkley. We put these measures in place on a trial basis. On Wednesday 20 September 2023, Sheffield City Council’s Transport, Regeneration and Climate Policy Committee reviewed the outcome of the trial of the Active Neighbourhood measures in Walkley and approved proposals to make the measures permanent.

Designing the permanent measures

As part of our design process, we're offering you the opportunity to share your thoughts on the appearance and design of the following permanent measures:

• The two one-way traffic filters on Greenhow Street
• The traffic filters on Matlock Road, Highton Street and Fir Street

Please note the crossing and one way filter at Heavygate Road is already agreed and is being built in advance of the measures listed above.

Drop-in sessions

We have arranged two drop-in sessions so you can share your thoughts. These sessions will focus on the appearance of the measures, not their function.

The drop-in sessions have not been arranged to review the Active Neighbourhood trial or to consider the removal or alteration of these measures.

If you would like to get involved, please come along at any time during the drop-in sessions to look at options and speak to a member of the team.

The drop-in sessions will take place

• Tuesday 26 November 9.30am to 11am

and
