Connect 2 Scheme - Killamarsh

I had a letter from Legal Services notifying  that the Public Bridleway Creation Order has been referred to the Secretary of State for determination following an objection.Am awaiting advice as to whether there's anything members of the public in Sheffield can do to support the order.

Cycle Tracks Order - Bowden Housteads Woods

This one legally confirms the track between the Mosbrough Parkway/Sheffield Parkway and Handsworth Rd (ASDA) as a cycle track. This cuts off an unnecessary section of NCN Route 67, which takes you up to the next bridge before doubling back (& means that Sustrans Rangers can sign it) as well as providing a link between the TPT/NCN & Hansworth Rd so if you are a primarily on-road cyclist you can use the tarmac traffic-free sections of the Trans-Pennine Trail to avoid busy inner city roads and then take to Handsworth Rd, which as a former A-road that has now been bypassed by the Mosbrough Parkway, isn't all that busy. So it's perhaps of more use to CTC-type cyclists than people who would prefer to religiously take the Sustrans route. 


The track was upgraded some time ago but this Order if approved will legally confirm its status, and may help in tackling the problems of anti-social behaviour, fly-tipping etc that occur in this area.

Cycle Track Order - Gleadless

Got confirmation of a Cycle Track order - Gleadless Avenue to Hollinsend Rd. Not too sure why they're doing this  (part of the City Centre  - Gleadless Town End route perhaps?) but I don't have a problem with it anyway.

TRO's - Speed Reductions

A little birthday present for me  from the council  - proposed reduction of the speed limit on A57 Manchester Rd from Cutthroat Bridge to Rivelin and on A61Penistone Rd through Greno Wood. Rivelin Rd 30 mph section to be extended slightly.
