Christmas
New Hopper Bus on track for local community
The Stocksbridge Town Deal Board has selected its preferred bidder to deliver a brand new hopper bus service for local communities across Stocksbridge and Deepcar.
South Pennine Community Transport has been chosen as the preferred delivery partner for the project – enabling the Town Deal Board to work up the details of the service’s route for this to be registered so the buses can be on the road in the next few months.
The expressions of interest to run the service were received earlier in May, and following the evaluation process South Pennine Community Transport was selected as the preferred partner.
The proposal outlines establishing two new circular services, one covering Deepcar and Bolsterstone and the other covering Stocksbridge, these would interchange with the number 26 which currently operates along with other existing services.
The plan is for the buses to run every twenty minutes from Monday through to Saturday, they will be low-floor accessible and demand-responsive, meaning they have the ability to divert off their route to drop off or collect passengers.
The local hopper bus service is a key project in the £24.1m investment for Stocksbridge and will hugely improve
access for residents to services, shops and facilities in the town as well as linking with the wider transport network.
The Board has consulted widely with local residents about routes they would like to see covered and that information will help to shape the new service. It is hoped it will be operating by the end of the summer into early autumn.
Co-chair of the Stocksbridge Town Deal Board and Project Champion for the Hopper Bus Project, Miriam Cates MP, said: “This is a really important project for the local community and we are delighted to have a fantastic partner to deliver the Board’s vision for what a good local service can provide for our communities.
“Residents will be able to use their bus passes and benefit from the concessionary fares scheme, and we’ll have a service which is accessible and demand-responsive. We can’t wait to see these buses on the road making a real difference to improving connectivity in the Stocksbridge and Deepcar area.
“
The Town Deal team will be working with South Pennine Community Transport on the timetable and timescales for the new service and further details will be announced in the coming weeks.
GRANTS FOR LEISURE CENTRES TO BE MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT
Local leisure facilities are set to become more energy efficient, with Government funding secured to help them reduce energy consumption and carbon output.
Sheffield City Council has been successful in obtaining more than £300,000 to support King Edwards Swimming Pool, Stocksbridge Community Leisure Centre and Zest. The money will be used to install capital inventions, which will improve energy efficiencies.
Stocksbridge Community Leisure Centre has reportedly received £220,424 to help the pool remain open in the face of rising costs.
Councillor Kurtis Crossland, Chair of the Communities, Parks and Leisure Committee at Sheffield City Council, said:
“I am delighted we have been successful in securing this funding, which will be of great benefit to these local facilities and the communities that use them.
“Swimming is a valuable life skill for people of all ages, which make facilities like this one essential for our local community. They also help to keep people fit and healthy, and that is why I’m so glad to see this of additional funding.
“Not only will this money help to keep costs down in these facilities, but it will also support our ambition to transition to a greener Sheffield.”
Police appeal after mass brawl in Sheffield Street
APPEAL: Appeal for witnesses and information following disorder in Sheffield
Officers investigating reports of disorder among a large group of people in Sheffield are appealing for witnesses and information.
At 2.25pm on Saturday (25 May) Police responded to reports of disorder among a large group of people at Woodbourn Road in Sheffield.
It is reported that a large group of people were fighting in the street. Twentytwo people suffered injuries which are not believed to be life-threatening and remain in hospital at this time.
Officers are now appealing for witnesses and anyone

Chief Superintendent Simon Wanless said: “Officers have been working through the night at the scene at Woodbourn Road and carrying out extensive enquiries including CCTV trawls.

“You will see a heightened police presence in the area today and over the next few days. If anyone has any concerns or questions
please do stop and speak to officers, they are there to help you.”
Twenty-five people have been arrested on suspicion of multiple violent disorder offences and are being questioned by police.
Of the twenty-two people injured during the disorder, ten suffered serious injuries and remain in a stable condition in hospital.
Anyone who was in the area at the time of the incident and has any information can contact police online or via 101. Please quote incident number 364 of 25 May 2024 when you get in touch.

Racing Star Lands Podium
Sheffield teenager, Rowan Campbell-Pilling, maintained his strong debut in F4 by clinching a spot on the official podium at Brands Hatch.
The Rokit British F4 certified by the FIA season continued at Brands Hatch in Kent last weekend.
Rowan, who drives for the Phinsys by Argenti team and is a Motorsport UK Academy Driver, claimed his first overall podium of the season in third, along with his first Rookie Cup win in Race 1.
The third-place overall podium for the rising star saw Rowan set a new record for British F4. He is the first rookie to be on the podium so early in the championship, from a qualifying race, in a new generation car. The cars
were introduced with the new halo technology at the start of 2022.
In Race 2, Rowan also clinched a spot on the rookie podium, meaning that he left the weekend with three trophies altogether. With five podium places from the first two weekends, and a Pirelli award – for most overtakes at Donington – the 17-year-old is already sitting inside the top 10 of the Championship standings. This is after only five races and with 25 to go.
Rowan said: “What an amazing weekend! To walk away with three trophies – and one coming from an official podium – is incredible. I couldn’t be happier. To be in only my second weekend of British F4, it’s a real achievement to get 3rd in qualifying and race 1.”

Fire ghters, National Park rangers, and moorland managers conducted a joint training exercise at Stanage Edge, Peak District, to prepare for a potential wild re emergency. e drill, organised by Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service (DFRS) and supported by the Fire Operations Group (FOG), tested the use of specialist equipment and coordinated response e orts.
Fire crews from Hathersage, Bakewell, Staveley, Buxton, Glossop, and Du eld participated, alongside land managers, farmers, and gamekeepers. e Peak District’s moorlands, including vital blanket bog and upland heath, face high wild re risks, exacerbated by activities like BBQs, camp res, and discarded cigarettes.
Ranger team manager Andy Farmer emphasised the importance of such exercises for e ec-
tive real-life response and joint decision-making, urging visitors to minimise re risks. DFRS Wild re Lead, Station Manager Mark King, highlighted the need for preparedness and public awareness to protect the landscape.
Preventing Wild res
Avoid BBQs in open countryside/moorland; they are banned in many Derbyshire areas.
Dispose of rubbish properly. Do not light camp res. Extinguish and discard cigarettes responsibly.
Reporting Fires
If you see an uncontrolled re or large smoke, call 999 with details. Report deliberate re-setting or illegal BBQs/camp res anonymously via Firestoppers at 0800 169 5558 or online at www. restoppersreport.co.uk.

Law Letter to dog owners
During the last few years I have noticed more and more dogs running free on the moors around Long Lane. This land is known as common land and hosts nesting birds during spring and summer months and livestock all year round.
The following is an extract from the Access Rights Law.
“The access rights that normally apply to open country and registered common land (known as ‘Open Access’ land) require dogs to be kept on a short lead between 1st of March and the 31st of July, to help protect ground nesting birds, and all year round near farm animals.”
As dog owners, whether you agree with the access rules or not, surely you would want to protect the ground nesting birds and livestock?
Please consider and act accordingly.
Thank You.

Sheila Gent aged 90.80th Anniversary of D-Day
To mark the 80th anniversary of the Normandy landings on the 6th of June, I wanted to take this opportunity to commemorate those who served in the Armed Forces in the lead-up, during and in the aftermath of D-Day.
The Allied landings were a turning point in world history. The RAF, along with their USAAF colleagues, had been preparing for the invasion for months, attacking German airfields, disrupting supply lines and their attacks on radar sites made large parts of the channel ‘invisible’. As the invasion fleet sailed under the protective fighter aircraft umbrella, the first Allied troops to land on D-Day were being carried in gliders towed by RAF tug aircraft. Over 8,000 RAF personnel took part with more than 5,000 aircraft involved, including the many squadrons who protected the invasion fleet from German submarine attack.
life was difficult for many, especially for those that
The RAF Benevolent Fund has provided support for thousands of Second World War RAF veterans and their families, from financial assistance to housing adaptations, including support to Aircraftswoman Rose Davies who was a radar operator supporting the landings. Rose, before her passing earlier this year aged 107, received regular assistance from us which helped her live with dignity and financial security.
From D-Day to today, the RAF Benevolent Fund remains by the side of the RAF providing life-changing support for those who serve, have served, and their families. Last year, we supported over 42,000 veterans of all ages, families and those in uniform who keep us safe day after day. We can only provide our lifechanging support with the help of our friends and partners, relying on vital donations from our supporters. Together we make a difference. For more information and to donate, visit rafbf.org/donate.
Yours sincerely

General Election
Dear Editor
On opening last week’s Look Local I was once again subjected to Peter Morton’s rants and bigoted views in his letter to the paper. However, I think Rishi has now given him an ideal opportunity by announcing a General Election. If he can now muster the required number of backers he could PUT UP as a candidate at the election or if he doesn’t think he could make a fist of it he could at least save us from his continuous moans and SHUT UP.
I for one have been impressed by Miriam’s support and help for local schemes and causes and her ability to attract financial investment for this area.
Yours sincerely Andrew Bailey, Chapeltown
Bolsterstone Beacon:
A Night to Remember
Thursday, 6th June 2024, will be a landmark evening for the village of Bolsterstone, as the community gathers for a special event at the village field.
At 9:15 pm, the Bolsterstone Community Group, at the invitation of King Charles’ pageant master, will light the beacon, joining hundreds of similar beacons across Great Britain to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day.
The lighting of the beacon will be a significant moment, attended by members of the Stocksbridge and Deepcar branch of the Royal British Legion. This event marks King Charles’ special request to postpone beacon lighting from his coronation last year to honour this pivotal anniversary. It serves as a poignant reminder of 1944, a year that turned the tide in Britain’s fight for freedom and will also act as a “Beacon for Peace,” symbolising a brighter, more peaceful future.
The evening’s festivities will begin at 6:30 pm with the peals of St Mary’s Church bells, echoing the sound of bells from churches nationwide. At 8:50 pm, the Bolsterstone Male Voice Choir will perform on the field.
Prior to their main performance, attendees are invited to listen to the choir's rehearsal at the village hall from 7:30 pm as they prepare for the prestigious Llangollen Eisteddfod music competition.
As the beacon lighting approaches, the local branch of the Royal British Legion will ceremoniously lower the flag to the sound of the Last Post. Adding to the atmosphere, local folk singers will perform around the beacon lighting time, and the Castle Inn will offer “Beacon Burgers” for purchase, allowing everyone to enjoy a bite while partaking in the festivities.
The village field can be accessed through a small gate opposite the Church. This free event promises to be an evening filled with music, singing, and poignant memories, as well as hopes for the future. The BBC has also expressed interest in televising part of the event, adding to the occasion's significance.
Everyone is warmly invited to join this memorable evening, a celebration of history, community, and peace.

Richard Borysiewicz of Valley Hill Runners was a winner for the team on Wednesday night at the South Yorkshire road league. Four races over several weeks nishing in terrible weather conditions at Ingbirchworth. Richard was 3rd in the vet 70 category sadly he couldn't stay to collect his prize a erwards as he wanted to get home and dry o as the conditions on the night were challenging, to say the least.
Captain Chris Grayson said “we are all in awe of Richards running. He's in his 70s and he certainly gives younger runners a run for their money.”
Valley hill runners had a runner at the Manchester 10k on Sunday their very own Beth Morley. A newbie runner with VHR a er having a baby then joining, week in week out she's out and turning into a fantastic runner. She had a running mate this week, her husband Joe, he decided to join in the fun too and they pushed each other round.
Wendy Duggan was the only entry brave enough to tackle the Winn hill fell race in the peaks. A run that included 1001 of climb on the bank holiday. Wendy managed to stay upright and nished in the glorious sunshine and very pleased to have tackled the beast.

TIGERS PERFECT TEN
BELLE VUE 25 - 35 SHEFFIELD TIGERS
Sheffield made their starting dominance count to claim the bragging rights against Belle Vue in a curtailed Bank Holiday head-to-head in Manchester.
The clash was, eventually, knocked on the head with ten races gone - and it was the Tru7 Group Tigers who were in control at that point and earned a 35-25 victory.
Heavy rain was forecast from the off and it barely let up from the moment the riders arrived at the National Speedway Stadium.
With a heavy racing surface, gating was going to be of high importance and that was proven throughout the ten completed races.
Following two 3-3s and a 4-2 apiece in the opening four races, the two sides couldn’t be separated.
But a longer than usual track grading break worked in the Tigers’ favour who came out flying following the restart.
Jack Holder and Kyle Howarth moved Sheffield back in front with a 5-1 in Heat Five before Tai Woffinden and Jason Edwards took a 4-2 in the sixth.
Chris Holder and guest Tom Brennan then landed a 5-1 as the Tigers opened up a ten-point lead.
Dan Gilkes and Howarth followed Belle Vue’s Norick Blodorn home in a Heat Eight 3-3 before the hosts hit back with their first 5-1 in the ninth.
Many thought that latest downpour would without doubt be the end of the action - but the home promotion remained adamant the situation could be salvaged and that 15 heats could be completed.
One hour and 25 minutes after Heat Ten had finished though, it was finally announced that a result had been declared following yet another consultation between riders, management, paramedics and SCB Referee Dave Watters.
The Tigers are back on home shale this Thursday (May 30, 7.30pm) when they host Birmingham who are on a high having beat league leaders Ipswich on Monday.
BELLE VUE 25: Ben Cook 7, Jaimon Lidsey 6+1, Norick Blodorn 6, Connor Mountain 4, Dan Bewley 2+1, Connor Bailey 0, Brady Kurtz R/R.
SHEFFIELD 35: Chris Holder 7+1, Tai Woffinden 7, Tom Brennan 5+1, Jack Holder 5, Kyle Howarth 4+3, Jason Edwards 4, Dan Gilkes 3.
Abandoned after Heat 10 (Rain) - Result stands.
Patched-up Tigers return to winning ways:
BOSS Simon Stead says he was proud of his patched-up Sheffield team as they returned to winning ways at home to Leicester last Thursday.
The Tru7 Group Tigers moved up to third in the ROWE Motor Oil Premiership standings following their 50-40 victory over the Lions - despite being without three members of their regular line-up.
SHEFFIELD 50: Chris Holder 14, Tai Woffinden 11, Kyle Howarth 9+1, Rory Schlein 8+3, Jake Mulford 5+1, Jason Edwards 3, Jack Holder R/R.
LEICESTER 40: Ryan Douglas 10+1, Richard Lawson 9+1, Luke Becker 6+1, Sam Masters 6, Sam Hagon 4+1, Max Fricke 3, Drew Kemp 2+1.
Sheffield win aggregate bonus point 96-84.
DOUBLE DEFEAT
By
Rockingham 135-8 (A Hibbert 2-29, J Tevendale 2-19)
Stocksbridge 110 all out (J Vickers 24, J Murfin 19*, C Thwaites 16)
The 1st XI lost in a narrow defeat to table-topping Rockingham. The 1sts restricted Rockingham to just 135 from their 46 overs, due to a fantastic effort in the field. Wickets were shared with 2 wickets for Andy Hibbert and James Tevendale, 2 run outs and a wicket each for Jake Vickers and Chris Thwaites.
Unfortunately, the 1sts fell short with the run chase, being bowled out for 110. floundering at 62-7 before captain Vickers and vice Thwaites forged a 45run partnership to take the game close. Vickers top scored with 24, Jack Murfin battled through serious injury to finish 19 not out and Chris Thwaites added a useful 16.
Another game with lots of positives but ultimately coming up short again
Stocksbridge 2nd XI 112-8 (S Perry 28)
Barnsley Woolley Miners 114-6 (P Hargreaves 3-23)
Sadly it was double defeat for our adult sides this week, with the 2nd XI losing at home to Barnsley.
The visitors won the toss and put Stocksbridge in to bat. All of Stocksbridge's top 4 got into double figures and got good starts. However, none could kick on, with Steve Perry continuing his good start to the season, top scoring with 28. The 2nds struggled to form a meaningful partnership, with wickets falling at regular intervals.
The response with the ball got off to an excellent start, with the visitors collapsing to 37-4, thanks to wickets from Paul Hargreaves and Les Harris. Following another wicket from Hargreaves and a wicket for Ant Barnes, Barnsley were now 64-6, with the game evenly poised. Unfortunately, veteran Steve Dixon and captain Adrianna Darlow forged a great partnership to see home the victory for Barnsley.
The 2nds were also due to be in cup action on Sunday vs Doncaster Town, however the tie was cancelled due to the weather. The good news is the 2nds progressed through to the next round thanks to a coin toss.

But Chris Holder and Brennan responded instantly in Heat Ten to restore that ten-point lead with the rain coming down heavier.
