There is no maintenance on the Grey to Green. It is specially chosen plants and shrubs that will survive with little or no maintenance and the idea is "Survive or die". A small group of volunteers does litter picking. 😮
Dutch roundabout, accidents waiting to happen. You crossing the road on the zebra crossing and that Tesla stops right on it says it all. The only decent looking building there is emergency service museum.
Town end street roundabout. Saw a taxi come through the give way and nearly get hit by a taxi coming up where there is no give way. Looks confusing as roundabouts go.
Like the party they represent they don't care and haven't a clue what day it is.The road for people who mainly don't exist.I used to cycle in Sheffield centre with my children.None of us now cycles on road in this country, especially not in Sheffield where it's suicidal.
18 million for a problem that wasn't there. Barnsley Council were also considering it, one of the busiest in town for once they decided against it.
They are as bad as Sheffield Council for making roundabouts worse by tampering. We have Stairfoot, Birdwell, Cundy Cross and Pogmoor gyratory, each one made worse by their tinkering, and usually well over budget and time.
There will no doubt be a review in a couple of years and some more traffic lights added if anything else.
It's a mess everywhere, isn't it? I hate that Dutch roundabout, and I am Dutch myself so cycling comes as part of my DNA. But this has made it more dangerous to everyone!
Miserable twat. Half of what you say is baseless assumptions, and the other half is just plain wrong. Lived in Sheffield all my life and the changes being made are a vast improvement. You must have a fetish for the past, your head is buried in nostalgia sand. I’m glad most Sheffielders aren’t miserable like you.
Get a life or a real hobby. Your anecdotal garbage does nothing for this city.
Interesting to see the changes thanks for the video. Bit of a different opinion, but i see the positives here. The busy two lane road has always previously been busy and difficult to cross. Everyone was always trying to get into one lane during rush hour so reducing it by one lane hasn't made a huge difference in my opinion. I like the grey to green as it makes the area easier to get around on foot. I know as I used to work in one of the buildings nearby, it was terrible then. I'm hopeful the changes will help encourage investment and help connect the area to the city centre better. It's come a long way from being pretty much the red light district around 20 years ago! Scotland Street used to be really grim!
If they want to be like Amsterdam, with a lots people on bikes, after visiting Amsterdam last month, cyclists just take pedestrians out! They feel they have priority over pedestrians. 😬

As a child I always felt sorry for Mary from Mary,Mungo and Midge. She lived in a towerblock, I lived in a house, I knew I had the better environment.
It’s completely changed since I left HSBC and not for the better!!

WHEN THEY LEGALISE ELECTRIC SCOOTERS THE ROADS WILL BE USED MORE
They're creating cycle lanes for the gig economy. The just eat riders. Take away delivery riders. You know.
Building materials, concrete have a massive environmental impact ,never mentioned
I’m still waiting to see lots of cyclists Tim. Too risky using the Dutch roundabout crossings so I cross the roads further away it’s safer.
I've just been round it Tim, i was nearly knocked off. Im a veteran of 35 years as well 😮

That white mini cab driver completely ignored you when you had to walk around the back of it on the crossing, typical taxi driver lol
How long has this been going on ?
I remember work going on in June 2023
So grey
At 6:00 you have to walk off the pavement and over the bike lane to get the zebra crossing
Is this being funded by council tax payers money or is this from central government (still our money)

What a shambolic mess Sheffield has become, it really is embarrassing!
Souless with Soviet style architecture
😢
Slums of the future. We have seen this in every city. Just look at Parkhouse.

My sister sold her house and officially moved out of Shitefield last week. I've got to wait 5yrs to move out 😢 hate living here now.

The give way roundabout is a fucking mess here. I live on that roundabout tim and its got kerbs on the road ad everything such a mess
Expecting cyclists to give way coming up that hill is the most stupid idea no cyclist would ever design this
You should do the Christmas market at night Tim.
Such a waste of money
