Bold new vision for the Valley
Our Vision for the Valley sets out ambitious joint approach to regeneration
A bold new vision for the regeneration of Gleadless Valley has been developed in partnership with the community that will benefit from the work.
The Gleadless Valley Regeneration Board – set up by Sheffield City Council – is proud to share Our Vision for the Valley.
It promises to deliver lasting benefits for residents and the wider city. This visionary programme, developed in partnership with local community organisations, sets out 12 major projects to be delivered over the next decade, aiming to make Gleadless Valley a thriving, welcoming neighbourhood once again.
The board still has work to do to secure the final funding for some of the projects. But, the Vision is for:
- Around 1,100 new homes and upgrades to hundreds more, including energy-efficient improvements
- Three new or improved community centres and vibrant local hubs for shopping, work, and socialising
- Four new or improved parks, making the most of the Valley’s famously unique and stunning landscape
- Thousands of residents supported into jobs, apprenticeships, and training, with a focus on local enterprise and skills
- Cleaner, safer streets through innovative place management and environmental stewardship
- Improved public transport and walking/cycling routes, connecting people to opportunities across Sheffield
This Vision will directly improve the quality of life for Gleadless Valley residents. Families will enjoy better homes, safer streets, and more green spaces. The new community centres will offer places to meet, learn, and access vital services. It prioritises local jobs, training, and business opportunities, helping residents build brighter futures. Enhanced transport and walking routes will make it easier for everyone to get around, while environmental projects will protect and celebrate the Valley’s unique natural heritage.
The vision will be going to Strategy and Resources Policy Committee on 10 December 2025, if you want to read the draft document please click this link.
