Plans for the much-anticipated Attercliffe Waterside scheme in Sheffield are set to forge ahead as we have exchanged contracts on a development agreement for the site with sustainable developer, Citu.
The urban regeneration scheme will transform 23-acres of brownfield land into one of the largest zero carbon communities in the UK.
Trees in blossom on a Sheffield street
In consultation with the Sheffield Street Tree Partnership, we have committed to working with Trees for Streets, the National Street Tree Sponsorship Scheme.
Trees for Streets aims to support towns and cities across the UK plant more street trees by making it easier for residents, community groups and local businesses to donate towards the cost of planting and maintenance.
The scheme offers both sponsorship of individual trees, but also crowdfunding where residents can club together to fund several trees.
Local exemptions
Local exemptions that delayed charging for Light Goods Vehicles (LGV) and Hackney Carriage Taxi vehicles are ending soon.
Charges will apply to enter the Clean Air Zone (CAZ) from Monday 5 June, unless the vehicle is compliant or has an alternative exemption.
Vehicle owners of older non-compliant vehicles based in Sheffield and Rotherham can still apply for financial support to upgrade or replace a vehicle to meet CAZ standards.
Pay a CAZ charge securely on the government's Clean Air Zone website.
Retrospective scheme
Our retrospective financial support scheme is now open. If you have already upgraded your vehicle to meet CAZ standards, you may be eligible to apply for a grant to contribute towards the costs you have incurred.
The retrospective scheme will be open for a period of eight weeks and will close on Thursday 29 June at 11.59pm.
Find out if you're eligible and apply using the button below.
We need your views on Sheffield’s community based domestic abuse service. Recommissioning of the service is starting as the current contract ends in March 2024.
Your views will help to make sure we commission a service that is fit for purpose in providing support for victims/ survivors of domestic abuse.
The survey only takes 10-15 minutes and is open until Sunday 4 June 2023. You can also translate it into different languages.
