Highways

In January the Councillors agreed that the remaining Highways funding for the financial year 2011/12 would be allocated to two projects, one in the Firth Park Ward and the other in the Burngreave ward involving further consultation into a possible road closure at Earl Marshall Road. In March Councillors agreed that they would meet with the Yorkshire Muslim Academy on Petre Street to discuss ways of reducing speeding. They will look into costings for school signs and ask the Council's Travel Advisors to advise the Academy.

Removal of benches at Wade Street

Local Councillors have responded to residents who felt that the benches on Wade Street were contributing to anti social behaviour in the area. The benches have now been removed and will be placed in the Wensley area where people gathering will be less of a problem
