Heart of the City is taking the creation of new public spaces to a whole new level.

"I know how understand ably concerned our com munities will be about this matter," Supt Waring said. "I'd like to give my full assurance to the public that reports of this nature against one of our officers are treated incredibly seri ously by the force. "Any officers who are found not to reflect the values and high standards of our organisation will be dealt with as swiftly and robustly as possible."
In order to best understand the scale of the problem, Councillor Fox has called for an urgent meeting with the city’s schools and Academies, and for the council to consider what extra steps they can be taking to support families.

A police officer charged with two counts of rape is to appear in court. Former police constable Rowan Horrocks, 26, is due to appear at Leeds Magis trates' Court on Tuesday accused of raping a woman in South Yorkshire. South Yorkshire Police said the charges relate to a report that a woman was raped in South Yorkshire on 28 No vember 2021. Mr Horrocks was based in the response team and was not on duty at the time of the alleged offences. He has been suspended from duties and internal misconduct proceedings are under way alongside the criminal justice process.
Supt Delphine Waring, head of the force's Professional Standards Department, said the case is being taken "incredibly seriously".
As part of the council’s response this is sue is to be looked at in greater detail next week by the cross-party Cost-ofliving committee (Chaired by Cllr Fox) Labour councillors have also called for government to enact a maximum pric ing for each uniformed item.

Although he initially showed no interest in Arctic Monkeys, he now considers them one of his favourite bands. In conversation with Metal Hammer, Sykes named Favourite Worst Nightmare as one of his all-time favourites. “I wasn’t a big fan at the start,” he explained. “I went to school with them, and then I saw them on our local news, saying that they’d sold out Brixton Academy! I was a bit jealous, actually, (laughs)! I’m not really an indie fan, but they’re one of my favourite bands now.” They both took different routes to get where they are today as two of the world’s biggest rock bands, but spookily, both Bring Me The Horizon, and Arctic Monkeys began their journey to Reading & Leeds at Stocksbridge High.
nacle of British music. Even more astonish ingly, Bring Me The Horizon frontman Oli Sykes was in the same school year – at Stock bridge High School – as all four members of the Arctic Monkeys. “I saw him at a festival two years ago, which was weird,” Sykes told Australian radio station Triple J. “He recogn ised me and was really excited. I couldn’t even believe he remembered who I were at all so was quite stoked on that.”
He added: “I went to school and college with him, and at that point, Arctic Monkeys were just kicking off. At that point, I (was) full on death-metal so I wasn’t interested whatsoev er…he came up to me to give him one of their demos, and I threw it in the bin.”
By Joe Taysom, Faroutmagazine.co.uk Arctic Monkeys and Bring Me The Horizon are two of the chosen head liners for the 2022 edition of Read ing & Leeds Festival, and the two bands share an unlikely history that traces back to their teenage years. Both groups have been on different paths to their destination as headline acts, with Arctic Monkeys racing out of the traps as teenag ers and becoming the biggest band in Brit ain overnight. Their 2005 performance at the aforementioned festival was a moment in which the Sheffield natives realised they had really ‘made it’, and the following year, they returned with a billing behind the headline act. This year will be their third time topping the line-up Reading & Leeds, following slots in 2009 and 2014. Meanwhile, Bring Me The Horizon’s road to festival success has been long and winding. They made their main stage debut in 2008 as the first band to perform at the festival in the morning, and very few were attendance. In contrast, everybody who attended Read ing & Leeds in 2005 desperately attempted to clammer inside a tiny tent to witness Arctic Monkeys’ debut. When Arctic’s first headlined the bash in 2009, Bring Me The Horizon were on the same stage that their fellow Yorkshiremen de buted four years earlier. Some 13 years later, they are finally at the top of the bill, and their name is sitting side by side with Alex Turner’s It’smob.remarkable that both bands born out of Sheffield have managed to climb to the pin

new clay fayre council launches Street Tree archive
“So enough is enough, we have decided to take matters into our own hands and undertake a search for potential investors or op erators. We promised to explore all options to keep DSA open and that is what we are doing.”
In July, current owners Peel Group began a review into the air port, claiming it was no longer commercially viable.
Sheffield City Council has today published documents as part of the Street Tree Archive which will allow the public to access records and cor respondence relating to the council’s management of street trees between 2013 and 2018. The council’s archiving service has gathered documentation from across the council and a range of stakehold ers including Amey, South Yorkshire Police, the Police and Crime Com missioner, Forestry Commission, and the Local Government Ombuds man, to create a comprehensive and accessible collection, both online and offline, for anyone with an interest in the historic street tree debate to view all in one place. Due to the volume and scope of the documents, the archive team will re lease the documents in batches so as not to delay the publishing of those that are ready to view. The first batch of records are now available to view, with the rest of the documents to be published on a regular basis over the coming months as work preparing the records continues.
“Since then, our fears over their motives have seemingly been confirmed time and again. Peel have given us no clarity over their intentions while expecting us to come up with ideas for ways forward. A few weeks is far too short to develop meaning ful plans and Peel are wasting valuable time.

South Yorkshire’s Mayor Oliver Coppard said: “Since Peel an nounced the review into DSA our biggest fear has been that they are running down the clock while undermining confidence in the airport.

Since then, there has been no clarity from Peel as to their in tentions for the site; the MCA and local leaders are therefore exploring all market options.

he was organising the first Only Clay ceramics fair, in 2021 the overwhelming response was “Are you mad!” He freely admitted organising an event where people were to congregate during a pan demic would have its problems. However, always up for a challenge he set about finding the perfect venue and after taking one look at the upper gal lery at Kelham Island museum he knew he had found the ideal space and in Sheffield Museums he found a willing partner for the unique chal lenge ahead.

“With humour, skill and wit, Anna has produced hand built mixed media ceram ic sculptures with character and person ality beyond their usual representations. Bad hair days for Gorgon sisters, merry go round Centaurs and a powerful Mi notaur which looks particularly sensitive and a little depressed! Although there is certainly humour in the pieces the use of wire, nails, old jewellery and other found objects alongside the wonderfully formed ceramic bodies retains a certain dark or edgy undertone to the work. It is this play which makes the pieces so memorable, distinctive and full of character.” KS All work is for sale.

Our pharmacy opens at 9am by local staff, but today 25th August 2022 staff at this pharmacy could not give any prescriptions or tablets out until the pharmacist arrived?? This happens pretty regular but I waited 9.10am to 9.50 am until the pharmacist finally turned up for work. By this time a number of people got fed up and didn’t wait, some also had to go to work. When will the pharmacist arrive on time When our pharmacy was across the road and run by local staff we were well looked after and could get our tablets on time when it opened at 9am, but not any more now its moved across the road. Do you call this progress for our local sick and elderly.
It is unlikely that we will discover why, that until December 2018, SCC refused to release any information about progress on the development of a city-wide tree strategy, having held a two-month public consultation survey on a draft strategy - which ended on 16/12/2016. We might not even discover why that, until 27/1/2021 or later, SCC chose not to share the 2017 report by Treeconomics – the firm that SCC had hired “to assess the value of Sheffield’s trees and measure the effects and benefits that Sheffield’s trees Whatprovide”.oftheinvestigation report from Law firm Bevan Brittan? On 28/5/2021 it was reported that SCC had commissioned the firm to investigate whether or not SCC had acted deceitfully and unlawfully in its attempts to avoid providing information requested under the Freedom of Information Act, by wrongly marking e-mails ‘not subject to FoI’. By August 2021 the investigation had cost £15,000.
Both pupils and teachers have been through an extraordinary time over the last two years, which makes these results even more special. It was a delight to see the photographs of the pupils celebrating their success.
At the root of the problem seems to me to be greedy capitalism? How can we satisfy our shareholders whilst at the same time telling our customers to consume more? Socialism? Sharing for the good of Simpleall? caring for our neighbour? Why should we when they don’t contribute to the GDP? I exaggerate, but our Right wing capitalism in my opinion is encouraging a certain attitude. One totally fixated on the economy at the expense of almost everything else even our very existence as humans on the planet. There is a fundamental clash which not many are willing to become aware of I feel. The striking union members have it absolutely right. How can bonuses and dividends be justified when the service given is poor ( water companies) and the costs are astronomical (electric companies).
HOW was it possible for so many wrongs to occur?
Mission and Pastoral Measure 2011
Dear Editor, Last week (23/8/2022), Sheffield City Council (SCC) published documents as part of the Street Tree Archive which, to quote SCC, will: “allow the public to access records and correspondence relating to the council’s management of street trees between 2013 and 2018.” Conveniently, for the unscrupulous Labour Councillors and Officers that were most directly responsible, that does not include 2018 or subsequent years. So, there may be little/no information on which people were responsible for the decision not to honour the SCC policy commitment made in February 2016, to “being open and transparent with the Sheffield public ensuring all relevant information is available in the public domain”.
Mrs J Ward Well Done & Congratulations to High School
Maybe its time to give our local staff who open up at 9am a Pharmacy Certificate so we can collect our tablets on time before winter arrives. Give our Pharmacy back here.
The only answer I have is that those who cause the problems and who hold the power and money don’t see themselves as the problem. As in the past the poor are scapegoats for the rich, who are doing everything in their power to hold onto their wealth. Its time to wake up folks, the stress is becoming unbearable and the planet is dying. What does it profit us if we gain the whole world (wealth etc) and loose our souls (our peace, joy and love)?
On 26/3/2018, the Forestry Commission (FC) requested that SCC provide it with “any documentary evidence held to support the proposition of SCC that the felled trees had been assessed as causing the highway to fall into a state of disrepair and therefore that the exceptions to the felling licence regulations were being appropriately applied”. That day, The Star reported that felling had been paused. SCC failed to respond to the FC and so the FC began an Investigation, on 19/4/2018, with a request: that SCC & Amey “suspend all tree felling of street trees in Sheffield that SCC was responsible for until further notice”. Felling had been paused for months during 2016, while the High Court case of R (Dillner) v Sheffield CC and Amey Hallam Highways Ltd was being heard. It was paused again in January 2018. The Star (22/1/2018) reported that Louise Haigh - MP for Heeley & Shadow Policing Minister at the time - had called on Amey to halt felling and that she had described the situation as “completely unsustainable”.

Having considered the proposals you may make representations either in support or against the draft scheme by e-mail to closedchurches.reps@ churchofengland.org or by writing to Representations, Closed Churches Division, Church Commissioners, Church House, Great Smith Street, London SW1P 3AZ.
The Church Commissioners have prepared a draft pastoral (church buildings disposal) scheme providing for the closed church building of Stocksbridge St Matthias to be appropriated to use for worship, services and other religious, community and charitable activities in accordance with the rites and customs of the Church of England, or any other Christian body designated by the Bishop for the time being of Sheffield, and for purposes ancillary thereto.
On the 19/7/2019, in an e-mail to the SCC Assistant Director Of Legal Services People (Steve Eccleston) the SCC Head of Highway Maintenance (Philip Beecroft) wrote: “For me I would say: We are pleased that the Forestry Commission has confirmed that the felling was authorised by the duties imposed on the Council by the Highways Act 1980’ and as a result their investigation is closed.” Beecroft’s comment suggested that, at that time, cultural attitudes at SCC had not changed. To quote the FC ‘Sheffield Tree Felling Investigation Report’, dated 18/7/2019: “a statutory ‘power’ to do something is insufficient to engage section 9(4)(b). There must be an imperative to do something, not just the option to do it.”
On 14/3/2018, The Star reported that Ms Haigh had “called for an immediate stop to tree-felling works in the city”. On 20/4/2018, The Star reported that the policing of felling operations had cost South Yorkshire Police £47,000 in overtime in less than a month.
The Church Commissioners are a registered charity (number 1140097)

WE HAVE TO CHANGE OUR WAYS! In the middle of the most severe drought for 50 years Im struggling to cope with my feelings as I watch the neighbour Jet wash his very large patio down for almost six hours (over two days). Even if we still don’t believe in climate change, we must admit that we are burying our heads in the sand during times like these? It appears that, as when there is a slight chance of there being a food shortage we all run down to the shops panic buying thus causing a shortage!! We have a sniff of a hose pipe ban and we all rush out to wash our cars and water the gardens if we are lucky enough to have them before it is enforced. (Selfish?)
A copy of the draft Scheme may be inspected on the notice board outside the church. You may also access the draft Scheme on the Commissioners’ website from the link to draft schemes online at www.churchofengland.org/ consultation or obtain or inspect a copy during normal office hours at the Church Commissioners’ office by applying to Emma Cosgrif.
We were delighted to learn last week that the GCSE results were the best in the schools history. The school is growing from strength to strength with teachers, pupils and parents all playing an important role in ensuring the students in our area are well equipped, confident and capable as they start the next phase of their lives.
Clearly, the SCC archive needs to extend in to the 2021 period.
The results come after the recent Ofsted inspection which rated Stocksbridge High School as a good School. It is good to see that in these difficult times our young people are succeeding and our local High School is delivering a good education to our children.

It was a welcome return to com petitive action after a gruelling pre-season, & sets the tone & standards required for a success ful league campaign. The hosts overcame Wortley by 3 tries to nil in the first game, Liam Dyson with a brace on his welcome return to Stocksbridge colours & Dan Burt crossing the whitewash, despite a yellow card for stand in skipper slammin’ Sam Whittaker. To retain the trophy Stocksbridge needed to defeat Sheffield Oaks, which they did in some style, running in 5 tries by Callum ‘whippet’ Green, Andy ‘clock tower’ Beal, James Neil, veteran Ricky Christopherson & the re turning Pat O’Leary to earn a 27pts to nil victory.

A club squad featuring past & present players had a tough assignment against an expe rienced & predominantly 1st XV from visitors Hemsworth RuFc, as the Globe Travel sponsored Stocksbridge Rugby held a memorial game for the late club legend Mark Jenkins. The game was largely incidental to the event as the visitors had the best of territory & possession racking up 3 tries during the 1st Evergreenhalf. outside half Ricky Christopherson was joined by debutant son James, & veteran Cy Kippax managed a full 80minutes on the field. The club are grateful to all who donated as the MIND Charity benefitted from the fund raising efforts, the 2nd stanza didn’t get any better for the tiring home side as Hemsworth continued to dominate & run in further tries, their cause wasn’t helped with yellow cards & sin-binnings for the ‘big rig’ Liam Roebuck (back chat) & Greg Colbridge (high Fulltackle).back

Stocksbridge Park Steels had an eventful week with three games played, ending with mixed results. First they overcame a stubborn Prestwich in extra-time of the FA cup, then fell to a late defeat at home on Saturday to the league leaders and then scored late on Bank holi day Monday to secure a point away at Sheffield FC. Steels suffered their first loss of the season after a last minute winner from Stockton Town, on Saturday. The Steels took the lead when El liot Murray headed in. Stockton got a quick equaliser as Mikey Roberts scored from close range. Stockton then won the game in the last min ute from a Roberts header. Late drama went the way of Steeels on Monday with Jordan Lemon equalising to earn a point against Sheffield FC. Sheffield FC took the lead in the sec ond half through a volley from Marc Newsham. The Steels equalised in the last few moments with an im pressive strike from Jordan Lemon.

The Oldest Club got off to the bet ter start but they did struggle to cre ate clear cut opportunities in a first half that lacked much action. Sev eral Sheffield corners early on in the game came to nothing and Nathan Modest also had an effort but that one would be comfortably saved by Harrison Davison-Hale.
It was a game that seriously lacked in much goalmouth action with very little to test either goalkeeper. But just before the end of the first half, Stocksbridge came very close to get ting the lead. The ball fell well to Lemon who smashed it goalwards but Jordan Pierrepont palmed it onto the bar to ensure the game stayed scoreless at the Likebreak.inthe first half, Sheffield started off brightly and had a great chance to take the lead. Stephen Brogan whipped in the free kick and both Modest and former Steel Steven Mc Donnell went in for the ball. They ended up defending each other from scoring the goal, meaning Stocks bridge did get a bit of a let off.
Unfortunately, Sheffield were able to get their goal with one of their sub stitutes changing the game. After a sustained piece of pressure, a mis kicked cross actually ended up work ing better for Sheffield than what was intended. Substitute Newsham was able to hook his foot around the ball and divert it into the top corner to give the Oldest club the lead.
Steels looked to change the game, with Ian Richards deciding to go for it with Lewis Macaskill coming on for Elliot Murray. And the choice to bring Macaskill on would work again for the Steels as he was the one who switched the ball to find Lemon in space. He took a few touches be fore a lofted shot which despite get ting a hand onto it, Pierrepont could not stop going in. Steels are back in FA Cup action again this weekend at HOME: FA CUP 1st Qualifying round vs Ather ton Collieries, 3pm KO at Bracken Moor. LATE DRAMA : Steels grabbed a late equaliser.
