In just over a week, stars of world cycling will return to South Yorkshire, as the third stage of Britain’s biggest professional cycle race is set to kick off in Sheffield on Thursday 5 September.
The Chief Executive of Sheffield City Council has described the £1.5 billion being awarded to South Yorkshire as part of the Government’s £15 billion for transport projects as “game changing”.
Cyclists coming into the Heart of the City will now be able to leave their bike in a safe and secure storage area while they go to work, shop and enjoy everything the city centre has to offer.
Work has started on site for a brand-new café, with attached public WC, at Sheffield’s Whirlow Brook Park, a popular beauty spot for walkers, local people and families.
The installation of solar panels on thousands of buildings across Sheffield and creating new larger scale wind and solar opportunities are being considered as part of a decarbonisation route map.
Even though Santa might be a bit busy up at the North Pole, beginning to check his list, making sure the Reindeer are in pre-Christmas training and the elves are ramping up toy production, he has taken time out to deliver an early festive treat.
