All councils must ensure that sports grounds are safe. Spectator safety is paramount. In its role as the certifying authority responsible for issuing the general safety certificate for Hillsborough Stadium, Sheffield City Council has issued a prohibition notice in respect of the North Stand.
Councillors are being asked to approve the trial of a small specialised gritter, which will be used on the city’s footpaths and pedestrian areas this winter.
Sheffield City Council is making great strides to transform travel in the city, with a number of exciting projects underway creating high-quality, convenient and safer routes for cycling, walking and public transport.
The newly named fleet of Streets Ahead gritters have been working hard over the last four days making sure the roads of Sheffield were kept clear of ice and snow following the recent wintery weather.
People in Sheffield are being asked to help choose names for the city’s fleet of gritters but with a local twist, as preparations for the upcoming winter season get underway.
