  • Sheaf Valley Cycle Route made permanent

    On Wednesday 20 September, Sheffield City Council’s Transport, Regeneration and Climate Policy Committee considered proposals to introduce the Sheaf Valley Cycle Route on a permanent basis.

    The changes include:

    • Changes to vehicle access between Shoreham Street and Cherry Street
    • Changes to parking on Saxon Road
    • Changes to vehicle access on Little London Road and Rydal Road, and
    • Changes to vehicle access from Scarsdale Road to Hackthorne Road, replaced with a one-way / no entry junction

    The Committee decided to approve the proposals which create a safer, low-traffic, active travel route between Sheffield City Centre and Norton Hammer.

    You can view the report that the Committee considered online, and there is more information in our news release.

    We’ll publish more information here soon about the permanent scheme and our programme of works.

  • Langdale Road and Rydal Crescent

    During the week commencing 8 August 2022, the current one way point on Rydal Road will be moved North to a new location between Langdale Road and Rydal Crescent. This change means that traffic will now only be able to turn right out of Langdale Road. Since the closure of Little London Road to motor traffic, there have been numerous reports of drivers routinely abusing the one way restriction by using it in the opposite direction. This is causing risk to all road users in the area which needs to be addressed. The plan below shows the planned change.

  • Changes that will be made through an Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO)

    There are a number of changes that will be trialed through an Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO). This means that the changes will be implemented as a trial and the opportunity to comment and provide feedback will remain open throughout the six-month period of consultation.

    During the trial, changes may be considered to improve the effectiveness of the scheme for those living and working in the area.
