Heavy rainfall

In the last week, we've experienced some extreme weather conditions, from very high temperatures to heavy rain showers in the space of 24 hours.

Our teams worked throughout the night last night as rain continued to fall, resulting in some localised flooding and road closures.

After a busy night with 107 calls, three roads still remain closed whilst we or Yorkshire Water make the necessary repairs. These include Station Road , Springfield Road & Long Acre Way.

With light rain showers in the forecast for Sheffield tomorrow, people should take extra care if travelling around the city and follow any diversions which may be in place.

Follow us on Twitter for the latest updates on the roads.

Sheffield Street Tree Partnership welcomes new chair

Members of the Sheffield Street Tree Partnership

A new chair has been appointed to the Sheffield Street Tree Partnership and is already playing an active role in steering the invaluable work of the group.

Earlier this summer, Nathan Edwards, Director of Urban Wilderness, took over from Liz Ballard, CEO of Sheffield and Rotherham Wildlife Trust, who has played a pivotal part in progressing the delivery of the Sheffield Street Tree Strategy since 2019.

Gully cleaning

Streets Ahead operatives clearing a gully in Sheffield

Our gully cleaning programme takes place all year round and helps to minimise the impact of heavy rain on the highway.

As part of our routine schedule, we write to residents to let them know when we'll be clearing gullies on their street. Often we are unable to access the gullies due to parked cars which can severely impact our progress.

If we are due to clear the gullies on your road please remember to move your vehicle so that we have full access when carrying out these important works.
