Stocksbridge Design Statement

Article posted: Thursday 12 March, 2009

If you are interested in the future of Stocksbridge you need to get involved in the Stocksbridge Design Statement. It is your chance to influence the economic, social and environmental development of the town.

A Design Statement is a document aimed at influencing the future of the area, particularly its physical regeneration and development.

The Stocksbridge design statement is still evolving and is addressing some fundamental questions:

What is distinctive about our town?
What do we want to see in the future?
What do we not want to see?
What do we want to preserve from the past?

When completed it will contain detailed information and suggestions which can be adopted by the Local Planning Authority as a ‘Supplementary Planning Document’. As such, it can effectively influence the decisions made by Planners and Developers so that they are in line with what the people who live here really want.

We need a wide cross section of people in the area to be involved in all aspects of this project.

The Don Valley Railway Project

Article posted: Sunday 1 February, 2009

Born in the Autumn of 2003 when a local man (David Goodison) brought together a like-minded group of people who wished to see the local branch railway line brought into full use to provide passenger services to and from Sheffield.

A “not for profit” company, limited by guarantee, and a registered charity, the Don Valley Railway Project will see:

  • The re-opening of passenger services on the branch line, under a Heritage rail scheme
  • The running of Steam traction, especially at weekends and during Public Holidays
  • The provision of park and ride facilities wherever possible along the line
  • The establishment, in conjunction with others, of a living museum
  • Engineering workshops at Deepcar providing training opportunities to young people
  • Stations/Halts at Stocksbridge, Deepcar, Wharncliffe Side, Oughtibridge and Wadsley Bridge with the possibility of news stations for the Ski Village and Sheffield

The project has clear definition and the support of local bodies & more importantly of Sheffield City Council, the South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive and Yorkshire Forward.
