This theme focuses on tackling speeding and improving road safety. This includes parking and improving the way people can travel in order to better their lifestyles. The approach is to work with Transport & Highways, services, Police, voluntary, community and faith sectors and residents to identify which roads are unsafe and how we can promote safer and healthier travel in the community. The project will develop initiatives to tackle unsafe roads, poor parking, active travel and consult on transport links in and around the LAC area.

Our priorities for this theme:

  • To tackle speeding vehicles and improve roads to make them safer for all
  • To promote active travel, healthy lifestyles and improve cycling routes
  • To work with partners to improve public transport and connectivity links
  • To enforce and tackle poor and dangerous parking

Our current projects

Good, Bad Parking

The North-East LAC and Police Community Support Officers (PCSO) have started working in collaboration with schools to reduce dangerous and inconsiderate parking at peak times.

We have been into schools to promote a discussion with the children about what good parking looks like. The children then designed some Good Parking Tickets that they gave out themselves in the areas near their school’s grounds. Drivers were celebrated for their safe and considerate parking.

We are delighted to say that we will be continuing with this project.

Bike Event

On Saturday, 5th October 2025, at Cookson Park, the Northeast LAC organized a very successful Bike Fun Day. Families came to enjoy free BMX and scooter coaching, delivered by Onboard. Sheffield Stars provided bikes for trying out the speedway, and even our local Councillors joined in the fun! Halfords was on hand offering free bike repairs, and free chips and ice creams were available throughout the afternoon. At 3 pm, experienced riders from WallerBMX put on an exciting demonstration, where young people had the chance to participate and win prizes.

Over 50 young people tried out the Cycle Speedway for the first time.

At least 5 new members joined Sheffield Stars Speedway Club.

Halfords checked and repaired over 40 bikes.

3 new riders now attend British Cycling BMX Club following the Onboard BMX Jam.

180 ice creams were served from Cuneo’s Ice Cream Van and 127 portions of chips from Smith’s Fish and Chips.

By delivering events like these, we hope to promote healthy lifestyles and active travel by encouraging and helping people repair and trade bikes. Holding the events in different parks across the Northeast Sheffield should raise the profile of the parks and attract more users.
