HIGH STREET TRANSFORMATION An ambitious plan to transform Stockbridge’s High Street has been unveiled and work is underway to secure the funds to make this vision a reality.
The town’s traditional retail area of Manchester Road has suffered in recent years from poor building designs, a lack of investment, and inactive, often absent, landlords. In order to return the street to its former glories Labour councillors are putting their weight behind an ambitious bid to government for millions of pounds now available from the Future High Streets programme.

and shop fronts, new parking bays and green spaces as well as high quality flats above the premises.
Dransfield Properties, the company behind the successful Fox Valley development has worked with the council on the bid, with the company having a track record of partnership working in other parts of the country to deliver town centre transformation. Amanda Holmes of Dransfield Properties, , said: “We are delighted to be working with local members and Sheffield City Council’s officers on a bid to transform Manchester Road in Stocksbridge.”
Mayor of Stocksbridge Julie Grocutt has worked alongside Sheffield’s Labour councillors in bidding for the multi-million pound investment deal and commented: “As a local resident for many years I can remember when our High Street had so much more going for it... I am proud of the fact that Stockbridge has a strong local identity. However, the heart of the town is in urgent need of investment to reshape it, to create new uses and activity for a sustainable future.”
