SHEFFIELD AWARDED MORE THAN £19M FOR LEVELLING UP PLANS Sheffield City Council’s exciting plans for Parkwood Springs have been awarded more than £19million as part of the latest round of investment from the Government’s Levelling Up Fund. The plans will see Parkwood Springs, which has been under utilised for more than a decade, transformed – further enhancing the Council’s ambition to create a Country Park in the city. The award from central Government will pave the way for a regional leisure destination and a valued amenity for
Sheffield residents – especially those living in communities close to Parkwood Springs. Cllr Ben Miskell said: “Sheffield is a city on the up and we’re looking forward to starting work on an exciting £19million transformative regeneration to create a Country Park at Parkwood Springs These plans will open up access to the site, an obstacle that previously prevented developers from bringing forward plans for the redevelopment of the former Ski Village. We recognised that Parkwood Springs
needed a new lease of life and have continued to push for the funding to support our ambition and to deliver for the city. Sheffield is the Outdoor City and our plans will turn Parkwood springs into a regional leisure destination that we can be proud of.” Now the funding has been awarded for the project it will mean a number of key areas will be able to be delivered including: Access to the site would be improved for all, with particular focus on increasing active travel and public transport. It will also see improved
approaches to the site with ‘Grey to Green’ type investment used elsewhere in the city. The area of the former ski slope would be prepared for future development as a regional leisure destination with all derelict remains from the previous ski slope removed. The new funding will be used to deliver new and upgraded existing walking paths and mountain bike trails. We will also be able to extend the area of the site which can be accessed and make the whole site more accessible to
people of all ages and abilities. A new visitor centre and bike hub along with information boards, event space and improved boundaries will allow Parkwood Springs to strengthen the appeal as a destination in its own right. Cllr Miskell added: “This project will be able to breathe new life into the landscape and return it to the people of Sheffield. There is still work to be done, but the people of Sheffield will be able to see the area come to life once again.”
