Public Meeting, 10th June

Great news! John Bann, the Sheffield City Council Head of Transport and Highways will be attending an open meeting on Wednesday 10th June. This is a key opportunity to highlight local transport issues and to press for action on speeding, inconsiderate driving and measures to enhance pedestrian and cyclist well-being. All are very welcome.

The meeting starts at 8pm and will be hosted by the Nether Edge Bowling Club. Please do your best to attend and represent local opinion.

Many thanks go to Nether Edge Neighbourhood Group for setting this meeting up.
