Petition Requesting a Traffic
Island Barrier and Traffic Calming Opposite the Meditation Centre
on Ecclesall Road
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Council received an
electronic petition containing nine signatures requesting a traffic
island barrier and traffic calming opposite the Meditation Centre
on Ecclesall Road.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Representations on behalf of
the petitioners were made by Christopher Beck. Mr Beck stated he
was presenting the petition on behalf of a young girl who was
killed in a car accident in front of the Meditation Centre. He said
that this tragedy was avoidable, and said that this petition was in
the form of a resolution:
-
Add to the metal railing of Ecclesall Road crossing to feed people
onto the final eastern part of marked crossings to shops on two
outward leads, leading southwest to Hunters Bar
-
Employ traffic calming measures to rein in drivers competing for
first place as they move from two lanes to one on the approach to
the bus stop area, or if the bus stop is removed devise appropriate
traffic calming measure to create a sense of caution and awareness
of the crossing.
Mr Beck said that Paul Blomfield, MP, had
introduced him to the relevant Committee member and various area
councillors. Mr Beck listed some key decision makers within the
Council, as follows:-
Councillor Paul Wood (contacted by Paul
Blomfield, MP)
Councillor Julie Grocutt
Councillor Mazher Iqbal
Councillor Douglas Johnson
Councillor Barbara Masters
Councillor Roger Davison
Mr Beck stated that Councillor Masters had
provided helpful advice. He said that Councillor Davison was the
only Member to contact him and visit the location of the accident.
Mr Beck stated that he spoke for all concerned citizens of
Sheffield, particularly those who had young children. He said that
he had seen the accident and reiterated that this was an avoidable
tragedy.
Mr Beck stated that during Councillor
Davison’s visit, Councillor Davison had walked the crossing,
taken photographs and viewed the issues in person. Mr Beck said
that the absence of adequate road safety measures facilitated
reckless behaviour by pedestrians and motorists but stated that
opening a second lane might not reduce the competitive instincts of
some motorists. He instead suggested signage, camera installation
or similar traffic calming measures. Mr Beck said that those who
have attended the area, such ...

Notice of Motion Regarding "Increasing Rail Connectivity and Capacity for Sheffield" - Given By Councillor Shaffaq Mohammed And To Be Seconded By Councillor Tim Huggan
That this Council:-
(a) notes, with enormous
disappointment, the decision to cancel the high-speed rail link
from Sheffield to the Midlands as a huge setback for the city of
Sheffield;
(b) notes the huge capacity
constraints on the line between Sheffield and Leeds;
(c) notes that this constrains
the ability to put more goods on rail rather than road that will
hamper efforts to meet our carbon net zero goals;
(d) believes that the health
of many Sheffielders, particularly on
the east of the city, will continue to suffer from the harmful
effects of poor air quality as fewer goods movements will be able
to be moved from road to rail;
(e) believes that for all this
Government’s talk about ‘the Northern Powerhouse’
and ‘levelling up’ they are still making disgraceful
decisions like this one which will see Sheffield cut off from the
high-speed train network;
(f) believes this is
another example of the Government failing to support our
communities and our city, harming our city’s potential for
future economic prosperity and development compared to our
neighbouring cities of Leeds and Manchester;
(g) believes that Sheffield
not being a part of the High-Speed network will only encourage
people into their cars and cause environmental damage;
(h) believes that the
Government should reconsider and needs to support the full
implementation of High-Speed Rail and the so called ‘Northern
Powerhouse Rail’; this should be done with far tighter
financial controls and increased accountability than there has
previously been to ensure that these projects are value for
money;
(i) believes that both
the Government and this Council should address problems with
implementation to ensure that the complete HS2 network opens as
early as possible to meet our decarbonisation goals while
minimising the destruction of precious UK habitats and woodland;
(j) also notes, with
disappointment, the Government’s decision not to give funding
to restore the Sheaf Valley Line, a key route in our city that if
fully developed could take hundreds of vehicles off our roads
daily, helping us tackle the menace of both traffic and air
pollution that many of our local communities around the Sheaf
valley face;
(k) however, believes that
this Council needs to do more to promote railways and that the
Co-operative leadership have not adequately fought
Sheffield’s corner and made arguments central Government
could not ignore for Sheffield’s full inclusion in
HS2;
(l) believes this is
also a failure of the political leaders of South Yorkshire, who by
not working together to promote our region have contributed to this
decision being taken; and
(m) requires that the Chief
Executive write to the Transport
Minister expressing this Council’s disappointment and
desire to see the HS2 cancellation decision reconsidered.

Notice of Motion Regarding "HS2 Betrayal" - Given By Councillor Terry Fox And To Be Seconded By Councillor Julie Grocutt
That this Council:-
(a) notes that Sheffield City
Council, Sheffield City Region and the wider HS2 East was clear
that HS2 proposals were required in full, alongside improvements to
Sheffield Station to ensure electrification of the Midland
Mainline, to increase capacity with a specific focus on better
connections to Leeds (northern loop) and Manchester;
(b) believes that HS2 is a once in a
generation investment and it is outrageous that Government have
axed the eastern leg and reneged on promises to improve
connectivity and capacity for South Yorkshire rail;
(c) notes that the eastern leg of
HS2 will now stop in the East Midlands and will not continue to
South Yorkshire, and yet the Government have tried to
‘spin’ this as a positive development for the region,
but that improvements cited were either rehashes of previous
announcements or those which previous Conservative governments
promised years ago – such as the electrification of the
Midland Mainline and upgrades to the Hope Valley route;
(d) notes that in 2018-19,
£276 was spent per person in Yorkshire and the Humber on
transport, compared to £903 in London, but that we are
witnessing not just a north-south divide, but the emergence of an
east-west split, with forecasts showing spending at £412 per
head in the North West, around 50% higher than it is on the other
side of the Pennines;
(e) believes Sheffield has been
betrayed and that unlocking the potential of the North’s
great cities with a properly joined-up rail transport system now
feels very remote, and notes the following promises reneged on by
this Government:-
(i) the as promised High
Speed link between Sheffield and Leeds has been axed – as has
the whole of the Sheffield to Leeds improvements;
(ii) Sheffield –
Leeds connections formed a significant cornerstone of Transport for
the North’s Northern Powerhouse Rail (NPR) proposals that now
will not be delivered – damaging the whole of Yorkshire;
(iii) the Government proposals
say nothing on new stations at Rotherham and Dearne Valley Parkway,
and as these were dependant on the Sheffield – Leeds
connection, they seem highly unlikely to come to fruition;
(iv) improved links to
Manchester and Hull are also not included in plans, and it is
likely that no direct rail link to Manchester Airport is now
possible; and
(v) despite warm words from
Government, there is no mention of investment in local schemes for
Stocksbridge and Waverley Station;
(f) notes that this Government
says Sheffield will see benefits sooner under its Integrated Rail
Plan (IRP) than they would have done if HS2 and Northern Powerhouse
Rail had been given the go ahead, but believes this is outlandish
‘spin’ which does not hold up to scrutiny, due to the
following:-
(i) the original
rationale for HS2 was to improve not just journey times but also
rail capacity; the idea was that HS2 would benefit long distance
travellers and regional passengers by segregating them onto
separate lines, allowing the fast trains to move more

Notice of Motion Regarding "Protecting Patients and Staff after NHS Changes" - Given By Councillor Ruth Milsom And To Be Seconded By Councillor George Lindars-Hammond
That this Council:-
(a) recognises that the Health
and Care Bill seeks to remove barriers to integrating services to
improve health outcomes and reduce health inequalities;
(b) broadly supports the
Bill’s focus on improving the health and wellbeing of the
population and the duty of bodies to have regard to this in making
decisions;
(c) supports the emphasis of the
Bill on the duty to engage with patients, carers and representatives;
(d) supports the requirement
for NHS Integrated Care Boards and local authorities to establish a
Health and Care Partnership with responsibility for producing an
integrated care strategy;
(e) welcomes the Bill’s
recognition of the key role of Health and Wellbeing Boards and the
health and wellbeing strategies and Joint Strategic Needs
Assessment they produce;
(f) welcomes the
flexibility afforded to each Integrated Care System in making its
own arrangements for joining up services and setting local
strategies for improving population health;
(g) notes with dismay that
despite the Conservative Party’s 2010 pre-election promise
that there would be “no top-down reorganisation of the
NHS”, successive Conservative-led governments have been
enacting root-and-branch reorganisation of the NHS in England,
starting with the 2012 Health and Social Care Act, and continuing
with Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships (STPs) which
paved the way to the creation of 42 regional Integrated Care
Systems (ICSs);
(h) believes that this decade of
system change has placed health and care services, and those who
are responsible for commissioning, delivering, and monitoring them
at local level, under enormous sustained pressure;
(i) is troubled that the
Health and Care Bill gives the Secretary of State the power to call
in NHS reconfiguration proposals, and believes that the role of
local health overview and scrutiny committees in these matters
should not be undermined;
(j) believes with great
concern that this proposal does nothing to assist social care
whilst this Government has continually cut support for local
councils and vulnerable people;
(k) is concerned that local
authority influence over local health and wellbeing could be
side-lined if Integrated Care Boards are not correctly constituted;
(l) is concerned that
the Secretary of State will be empowered by the Health and Care
Bill to deregulate unspecified NHS roles currently safeguarded by
professional regulation, which in turn could threaten patient
safety and staff development and training;
(m) notes with alarm that the Health
and Care Bill allows private companies to sit on ICS Boards and
Partnerships, and that NHS England has accredited over 200
corporations and businesses – many US-owned – to help
develop ICSs;
(n) is concerned that
allocation of ICS wide budgets, if not accompanied by strong
place-based delegation, could result in commissioning decisions
that are based more on detached area-wide targets than on localised
need;
(o) is concerned that when the
South Yorkshire ICS takes on statutory powers, Clinical
Commissioning Group staff across the footprint will become a single
SY NHS workforce and that staff may find themselves redeployed
between places across the county;

Notice of Motion Regarding "Better Buses for Sheffield" - Given By Councillor Ian Auckland And To Be Seconded By Councillor Penny Baker
That this Council:-
(a) welcomes the £200m,
including £100m to improve Supertram and £35m for buses promised to
Sheffield in the recent Budget to support public transport;
(b) however, notes the
regional imbalances for bus funding whereby buses in London get the
funding equivalent of £76 per head, and yet in Sheffield it
is only £5, and believes this is simply unacceptable;
(c) also believes that
Sheffield has been left with often poor bus services, with services
frequently being late, cramped, unreliable, expensive and in poor
condition;
(d) believes that the Mayor of
South Yorkshire must exercise powers to bring bus services back
under local control (franchising), at the earliest practicable
date, and central government must do more to provide significant
funding to revitalise local transport;
(e) believes that once again
the Mayor of South Yorkshire has “missed the bus”
regarding improving bus services in Sheffield and South Yorkshire
with the alternative “Enhanced Partnership”
arrangements brought in this summer;
(f) supports Clive Betts
MP’s call for the roll-out of Bus Franchising to be speeded
up and fully endorses the consistent commitment, over very many
years, of the major opposition party to introduce bus franchising
in Sheffield;
(g) believes that a good
public transport system should run where people need it, when
people need it and at a price that is affordable; and

public transport, and people friendly neighbourhoods are key to
reducing pollution, congestion, improving health, and contributing
to our zero carbon by 2030 pledge.

Whereupon, it was
formally moved by Councillor Richard Shaw,
and formally seconded by Councillor Mike
Levery, as an amendment, that the Motion now submitted be
amended by the addition of new paragraphs
(i) to (p) as follows:-
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(i) notes with concern
the ongoing reduction in bus services given the importance of
frequency and reliability to passengers, fears that at least some
service reductions will become permanent, and states that this is a
self-defeating action, and calls upon the Administration to lobby
against such proposals;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(j)
furthermore notes, with disappointment, the recent news that the
Sheffield Supertram has announced it is
reducing the frequency of its services by up to 50% due to a
temporary shortage of drivers;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(k) believes
that in many industries across the country, driver shortages are
having an impact on our services and public transport and that this
is in part due to the negative effects of Brexit on our
economy;

|
|

calls upon public transport operators to ‘pull out all the
stops’ to get new drivers recruited and trained to make sure
this disruption to services is short;

(m) believes that
Sheffield Trams could also benefit from more local control and
