Community Initiative Award for leisure centre IN recognition of the outstanding achievement and the hard work of volunteers and staff, Stocksbridge Community Leisure Centre has been awarded the Duke of York Community Initiative Award. It was only six years ago that the centre was closed by the local authority and under community management has become a thriving hub of the community, offering a wide range of health and wellbeing activities for all ages and abilities. This award quickly follows the news that the leisure centre’s lease has been renewed for a 30-year period to help it achieve further investment for improvements.
Andy Clarke, CEO of 4SLC Trust who manage the facility, said: “This is fantastic news and recognises the tremendous effort of everyone involved. “Part of the assessment included interviews with our customers and their positive comments about the service provided and the great community feel of the centre made a strong impression on the assessors.” The award ceremony, where HRH The Duke of York will make the presentations and meet the successful applicants, will be held at Catterick Camp, North Yorkshire, on Wednesday April 3.
NEW WEIGHT RESTRICTIONS FOR ECCLESFIELD
NEW £200,000 environmental weight restrictions will be introduced across several busy streets in Sheffield after overwhelming support from local residents. One of them is The Wheel in Ecclesfield, which will now be restricted to 7.5tonne lorries this year. There will be an area-wide ban including streets where there is cur-
rently no problem so that any displacement of HGVs would be on to other more suitable roads. An outline business case was approved in August 2018 to complete the Detailed Design of all four EWR’s with provision for their implementation once works costs are submitted in the final business case.
The proposed Environmental Weight Restrictions (EWRs) EWRs will address concerns regarding the impact that HGVs are having on the lives and wellbeing of local residents. The restrictions will reduce the likelihood of danger caused by the HGVs to other traffic using the affected roads. They will also prevent
damage to the roads and buildings near the roads caused by the HGVs and help other vehicles and pedestrians to use the roads better. Councillor Lewis Dagnall, cabinet member for environment and street scene at Sheffield City Council, said: “There is no doubt that excessive use of these roads by HGVS has been having a negative effect on
the communities and residents that live nearby. We have listened – and taken action – to address this. “These restrictions will improve quality of life and the environment for people in our city and stop lorries powering through built-up residential areas. It will also help the council and the city to fulfil its green and clean air ambitions.”
