The Director of Culture and Environment submitted a report to seek authority to refer the City of Sheffield (footpath SHE/346) Public Path Closure Order 2018 to the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs for confirmation in the light of an objection received.

Following a comment made by a speaker at the meeting with regards to Don Valley Railway having potential plans to use the footpath in connection with a possible reopening of Wadsley Bridge station, Officers confirmed that they were not aware of such plans for the reopening of the Station at Wadsley Bridge.

RESOLVED: That the proposed closure of public footpath SHE/346 at Wadsley Bridge, Sheffield 6, be deferred pending more investigation into the potential use of the footpath in connection with any reopening of the station.
