April 29th - Bank Holiday buses.
A Sunday timetable operates on Bank Holiday Monday. So that's a combination of bus 24 (First) and 25 (Stagecoach) running from the Old Mother Redcap terminus into town, jointly every 15 minutes in the daytime, hourly in the evening.
A normal service will operate the rest of the weekend.
The timetables can be viewed here.
Tickets are valid on all buses and trams in Sheffield, regardless of operator: https://www.sytravelmaster.com/
April 18th - Catherine McDougall, the manager of Graves Park who also covers adjacent green spaces including the Bradway recreation ground, has arranged for part of the rec to be ploughed for wildflower planting. The field edges have been left unmowed. Y3 pupils from Bradway Primary School will be involved in the seed sowing. This will take place one afternoon, probably in the first week of the new term, and it will involve about 60 children.
An ecology survey will also be carried out on the whole rec, and trees suitable for wet areas will be planted.
The Council’s Public Rights of Way team are waiting for wood for the handrail which will be re-installed on the steps down to the rec. We expect this soon in this new financial year.
The BAG path-clearing team have identified some spare rocks on the Longshaw estate. We have been offered these to make up into stone benches at the far side of the rec, with views across Dore and the hills beyond. We just need to tie up a date with NT to transport them and then get SCC to open up the gate.
