Thorley, Health and Wellbeing Man ager at SYFR said: "We know that across the country, men are struggling with their mental health. Statistics show us that males are 3 times more likely to die from suicide than females and that is why we wholeheartedly support the Walk and Talk 999 initiative. It not only helps raise awareness of men’s mental health and boost the wellbeing of our staff but the walks also provide a safe space where people can be supported without judgement, whilst promot ing physical activity and taking advantage of fresh air and a change of scenery.”

Each session starts with a simple check-in circle where people share how they’re feeling on a scale of one to ten. They also share some thing positive that’s going on in their lives. Everything people say at the session is strictly confidential – and the group are asked not to interrupt or challenge when someone’s speak

TOP QUALIT Y MEMORIALS

My name is Florence and I am writing to you today about the withdrawal of the Supertram ‘Link’ Bus between Middlewood and Stocksbridge. (Link in inverted commas as the timetables of the SL1/a and the tram haven’t actually linked up for years)

Rather than putting out misleading articles, perhaps Labour Councillors should be doing what the people of Sheffield asked for; a committee system where all councillors are involved in the decisionmaking process in an open and transparent way.

I have today found out that stage coach are considering removing the SL tram link bus services. I am asking kindly you make your readers aware to sign the protest and together we can hopefully make a isolating-entire-communities?redirect=falsecutting-vital-rural-transport-services-and-https://www.change.org/p/stop-stagecoach-difference.

City Council pay freeze

He also states “Labour are proposing that the council should suspend any high-wage appointments whilst we stabilise the council finances” at the Finance Sub-Committee meeting held on the 6th September. Strange that it wasn’t on the agenda, and only Labour Councillors were aware of the proposal until it was brought up at the end of the meeting. Bearing in mind that Council Officers prepare savings initiatives, not Councillors, the proposal was quite rightly voted down, and written details requested.

A Councillor’s Support

Buses are for the people

Alan took my many phone calls and listened, giving me guidance and advice even after working hours which should have been his own personal time. He has attended meetings on my behalf and became a voice for me when I do not think I have always been taken seriously, when others have doubted my word and failed to understand.

Cllr Janet Ridler and Cllr Julie Grocutt

Goodbye Supertram link

Yours sincerely,

With reference to Labour Councillor and CoChair of the Finance Sub Committee, Brian Lodge’s article on the state of the council’s finances, he says “The council is hung…… making it even harder for Labour to take the strong action needed to get on top of the finances”. So, what happened last year when Labour were in coalition with the Green Party under the Cabinet system? Was strong action taken when £20M had to be taken out of reserves to deal with the budget overspend? Clearly not. And why another £15M taken out of reserves just to set a balanced budget for this year? Yet just three months into the year, there is a further deficit of £20M being covered again by reserves which are rapidly running out.

A Grateful Chapeltown Resident

Unacceptable Stagecoach bus proposals show they’re still in a cartel with the great white elephant that is Super(fluous)tram.

Councillor Mike Levery Liberal Democrat Member for West Ecclesfield Vice-Chair, Finance Sub-Committee

Petition to save Supertram link IHihope this finds you well

He has my vote!

Things got even more stupid during planned engineering works where rather than continue the tram link buses passengers to Hillsborough or the city wouldpassengerseitherhave to change buses at Middlewood if they were lucky or worse still walk half a mile or so to catch another bus to Hillsborough to catch either another bus or the tram to town if Supertram /PTE had decided not to provide a replacement bus at all. During one of these planned engineering works I did persuade Matt to run the tram link bus into town which provided a real service for customers but when I asked why this was not being repeated I was told that the PTE and Supertram were only wishing to tender out the missing tram part and not consider or countenance the obvious extension of the tram link buses. Even when Stagecoach won the tender to replace the trams they had to run them separately.

I have had to keep chasing authorities sending copious emails, making endless phone calls, attend meetings and diarise everything for months to keep track and at times considered giving up when I was struggling with the constant contradiction.

Although issues still need to be resolved I felt I needed to publicly acknowledge how truly grateful I am for Alan’s much needed support. I do not know how I would have coped without it.

Why is Stagecoach is cancelling this vital bus service? Because government policy allows them to do so – the same government policy that has already seen public services cut to the bone and has resulted in a fractured and dysfunctional local transport system run by operators who prioritise profit over people.

I am not sure if any residents would use the tram link service on a Sunday or late in the evening out of choice these days knowing the the only link is the ticket valid on both.

Sad to see it go. It was a brilliant concept and such a shame that it was so badly implemented especially when you consider that both the bus and the tram were part of the same organisation. Unfortunately the Supertram part have never had any understanding of customer service and have shown little willingness to make the concept work. Typically our MP only now is putting her head above the parapet when it is too late.

As an example of a different bus service that I have used recently; I visited San Sebastian, Spain in the summer and camped around 10 miles from the city (similar distance from Stocksbridge to Sheffield) with the campsite on a long winding road that gradually rises (funnily enough, just like Manchester road between Stocksbridge and Sheffield). The buses where every 20mins, punctual, to the most direct route available (like the SL1/a) and it cost 1.80€ per person each way.

However, with the help and assistance I received from Alan Woodcock Liberal Democrat Councillor for Chapeltown this has given me a much needed life line to hang on to.

It really feels like Stagecoach and the Local Council in general are intent on cutting off Stocksbridge/ Deepcar from the rest of the world unless you are lucky enough to own a car. A bus link to Sheffield is vital to the community as otherwise it is an arduous walk and there is (still) no provision for cyclists, even with the increased take up of cycling during the pandemic and the record sales of electric bikes. I was led to believe that a new cycle route was in development between Stocksbridge and Hillsborough several years ago but it seems nothing has materialised. Can I please have an update on this.

I am concerned about the impacts of its withdrawal on myself, my family, as well as the local community as a whole, and I am struggling to find any definite information about what exactly is happening (The Stagecoach website and app are atrocious). Can you please let me know exactly when the SL1/a is going to be withdrawn and what other options are going to be implemented in its place. I have read in this weeks Look Local that they are planning on running the 57 half hourly (instead of hourly) but there is no mention of an evening service and the 57 stops running at around 8pm.

Much less than we us residents of Stocksbridge/ Deepcar have been paying for a service that has consistently underperformed over the last several years, and more recently just not turned up at all.

There is also the little mentioned bonus of the trams getting priority over traffic. This is invaluable during rush hours as the tram generally sails through as drivers are left waiting at the lights. There will be a massive increase in commuting time if the only option is the 57 Bus as there is no provision like that for busses. Not to mention that route goes round the houses to get into Hillsborough.

A bad situation changed my world and left me feeling trapped and unsafe in my own home. I was a wreck and in a very dark place.

This summer I can only describe as one of the worst of my life which has affected me mentally, emotionally and physiologically.

The fundamental problem is that neither the bus or the trams would communicate to ensure that wherever possible a late running tram or bus would connect and not leave arriving passengers WATCHING their bus or tram leaving. I know that a few years ago the then MD of the bus company Matt Davies tried his hardest to improve things but hit his head up a brick wall with the tram counterparts. Of course there would always have to be a limit on how long a connection could be held for no one disputes that. At one stage the bus people sent one of their guys,Jay, to try and improve communication and restore the link in Tramlink but he was reduced to looking down the road to see if the tram was visible and asking his driver to wait whereas even though the bus could be seen pulling into the P&R the tram would delight in closing the doors and heading off leaving passengers to wait for the next one sometimes even as they were disembarking off the bus.

Crazy bus changes

With all the new housing developments happening in the area (Deepcar, Hollins Busk, Oughtibridge) it seems short sighted to cut this service as it would connect all of these new residents to Hillsborough, Sheffield and beyond. And these aren’t small developments. There will be thousands of new customers for Stagecoach when they are completed. I also feel its short sighted of the council to let this happen. The amount of cars that will be using Manchester Road if there is no bus service will be incredible. You can already sit for 20mins during the morning rush hour between the Middlewood Ambulance Station and the junction onto Penistone road. This will only get worse with more people using the road in cars.

Save our bus services

With two senior vacancies in the council, one of which is in a department showing significant overspend, getting the right leadership in place at the earliest opportunity is needed to turn things round. And the likely savings generated by his proposal are only around 3% of the £20M in year deficit. Hardly getting on top of the finances!

The withdrawal of the SL1 and SL1a Supertram Bus Link service is the latest blow to our already crippled local public transport service and is happening as a direct result of Tory policy and years of neglect by the Tory government.

We are to have JUST TWO BUSES AN HOUR TO TOWN, and although cutting out the totally unsuitable narrow, parking-blocked route up the hill through Oughtibridge to Worrall, still will go down Dykes Hall Road, the road that is perhaps the most unsuitable route for buses in Sheffield. Or what is so currently. Get this: to rejoin the current ‘mountain goat’ round-the-houses insane route, the bus will go up Langsett Avenue! This is about 1 in 3, the steepest road in the district! Does Stagecoach actually try a new route before adopting it, or just have a glance at the Sheffield A-Z? Many of their buses won’t cope with that gradient. This madness is of course so that the tram is still fed. “Get on the tram”, Stagecoach is saying, “otherwise we’ll punish you with a pointless dogleg round Wadsley and Wisewood”. But they likewise punish you anyway, with a pointless dogleg on the tram (up to the Uniperversity and down West Street).

Stagecoach: you couldn’t make it up, but they always do. Roll on the train.

Florence M, Deepcar P.S. Buses are for the people and don’t necessarily have to be run for profit. Please remember this.

As your local city councillors, we will continue to work with South Yorkshire Mayor Oliver Coppard to put pressure on the government to speed up the process allowing us to franchise our local bus services, taking them under local control. Franchising is the only way to deliver the journeys that local people want, by putting people before profit and giving our mayoral authority decisionmaking powers over bus routes, timetables and fares and allowing them to coordinate buses with the rest of the network like trams and rail.

If Miriam Cates really wants to save our local bus service, we urge her to call upon the government to speed up the franchising process as this is the only way that we can deliver the public transport service which local people want and deserve, and the only solution that will work to fix our broken buses.

AlistairSheffieldNicoll6

Our MP and the Mayor should be fighting for a properly coordinated service which might then become viable- indeed they should have been doing so since assuming office.

A single line from Sheffield to Deepcar to Stocksbridge is still open, such that the business of heavy haulage can take place.

Other diversifications followed but with the disadvantage of ever-increasing prob lems with the weight of products. All raw materials inward and finished products outward had to be transported by horse and cart, which by the late 1860s was a serious problem.

‘Drive-off’ thefts at petrol stations have dou bled over the last two years amid soaring pric es, an investigation has revealed.

not connected with the Stocks bridge Railway Co., a line was constructed to run from Wharncliffe Wood sidings to Ewden valley and included an overhead railway bridge at More Hall. This under taking was in connection with the build ing of the Ewden valley reservoir which commenced in 1913/14; it was then in terrupted by World War 1 and eventually completed in 1929.

South Yorkshire Police recorded a 101 per cent increase in petrol and diesel thefts be tween June 2020 and June 2022.

STOCKSBRIDGERAILWAY history

It became evident that a rail link between the works and the main railway line at Deepcar station was essential. An in tended route was surveyed in 1872 and the necessary enabling Act of Parliament was passed on 30th June 1874.

It comes as motorists face spiralling prices at the pumps, with critics slamming the Govern ment over its lack of action on the cost of liv ing crisis.

Hours will include 8.00 am starts and 6.30pm nishes.

The Stocksbridge Railway Co. opened on 14th April 1877 and additionally ran a passenger service from the low yard (i.e. at the west end of the Fox Valley shop ping centre) to a bay platform at Deepcar station. The passenger service was with drawn in 1931 as regular bus services to Sheffield and Penistone were then avail Stocksbridgeable.

In 1842 Samuel Fox came to Stocks bridge and initially started up in the business of wire drawing. In 1847 he then embarked on another venture, that being the manufacture of umbrella frames. By 1854, he saw another busi ness opportunity by making cold rolled strips for ladies’ fashionable crinoline frames.

Railway Co. generally oper ated with just one locomotive but this was supplemented with other locos from the

works fleet. It is on record that in 1954 the total tonnage handled was 90,912.

There are lots of railway maps and plans in the Valley Museum in Stocksbridge Town Hall on Manchester Road, which is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 am to 12.30 and 1 to 3.30 pm – do come in and have a look at them and share any stories you have. There are many other fascinating things on display in the Mu seum, and the volunteers from Stocks bridge and District History Society will be happy to show you around and answer your questions.

CHURCH SMASH N GRAB

A bit of a downer at the end of the game was when a so called Winterton fan threw a pint of beer over our eighteen year old keeper Harry Am bler, he’s reacted because he doesn’t know if it was a glass or a plastic pot, he’s thrown the ball at him and he’s ended up getting a red card which is a little bit harsh. If someone is throwing something from the crowd you have to pro tect yourself and this was his instinctive reaction as he had the ball in his hand. So hope fully we can officially appeal against that decision.”

Match report by Adam Allcroft.

The first half was not the sort of football you’d show to someone you were trying to get into non-league football. Neither side was able to create many chances as they cancelled each other out with strong defences. Marine were close to breaking through when Djavan Pedro got space in the box. Instead of shooting, he chose to try and find Lucas Weir, but Langton was there to block the pass and clear the ball away.

At the other end, Stocksbridge looked to set pieces to try and cause problems for Marine. A Tomas Poole corner almost did that. The corner would eventually fall to Luke Rawson who needed to turn be fore finishing. He was able to turn, but an important block stopped him from scor ing two goals in two. Marine would have been aggrieved had it gone in though as captain Josh Wardle was down injured at the time of the shot.

The controversial moment was a point when Stocksbridge may well be irritated they didn’t get the goal. After the ball was initially cleared by Marine, Jordan Lemon latched onto the ball and launched a fan tastic cross-field ball looking for Poole. He found him as well, and Poole raced into the box and volleyed the bouncing ball into the back of the net. The lines man had his flag up to disallow the goal though, cutting any celebrations off. Ian Richards wasn’t happy with the decision though and he’d have to carry his annoy ance into half-time.

Steels took the lead through a header from Ross Goodwin. They were only ahead for a few minutes though as Jack Dunn equalised through a smart finish. In the last minute though, Mitch Langton hit a sweet volley to put Stocksbridge into the next round of the FA Cup.
