School Initiative Tackles Dog Poo Issue
Y6 Students at Oughtibridge Primary School had grown increasingly concerned about the signi cant amount of dog waste littering the public footpaths surrounding their school.
e issue had become so prevalent that it was impacting their daily journeys to and from school.
Taking initiative, the children decided to pen a letter to She eld City Council, voicing their concerns and appealing for action to be taken. eir letter highlighted the negative impact the dog waste was having on their environment and overall wellbeing.
Councillor Julie Grocutt, representing Stocksbridge and the Upper Don Ward, responded promptly to
the children's letter. In her response, she acknowledged their concerns and informed them that the Council had taken their appeal seriously. As a result, the Council had approved the installation of signage in the a ected areas, urging dog owners to clean up a er their pets. e children were delighted to see the signs being erected around their school. In the weeks and months that followed, they noticed a marked improvement in the cleanliness of the footpaths. e reduced amount of dog waste made their walks to and from school signi cantly more pleasant, and they felt proud to have played a part in making a positive change in their community.

£2 million funding for four new flood defence schemes
Marie Tidball, MP for Penistone and Stocksbridge, has successfully secured a total of £2,190,000 of funding from Government to build four new flood schemes across the Penistone and Stocksbridge constituency.
Sheffield Upper Don, Clough Dike, Blackburn Brook Blockage and Whitley Brook flood reduction schemes have all received funding in the government’s latest announcement to boost Britain’s flood defences.
The Labour Government has announcement a record £2.65 billion of investment, to build or maintain 1,000 flood defence projects across the country. These will help protect 27,000 more homes and businesses over the next year.
This funding is part of the Government’s Plan
for Change, to protect homes and businesses, and creating local construction and infrastructure jobs.
Marie Tidball MP, Labour Member of Parliament for Penistone and Stocksbridge, welcomed the government’s announcement:
“Earlier this month in Parliament, I highlighted the vital need to properly fund our local flood alleviation schemes in our communities. Since being elected as your MP, I have also written to Ministers and met with the Environment Secretary Steve Reed to press the case for more investment in local flood prevention. Flooding has caused such heartache across our communities, leading to devastating impacts for people, homes, and businesses, and
costing our economy billions each year. With the frequency of extreme weather events only continuing to rise, decisive action to invest in adapting to climate change has never been more important.
I look forward to working with the Government, Sheffield City Council and the Environment Agency to ensure these schemes are delivered to meet the needs of our communities.”
Cllr Craig Gamble Pugh, Labour Councillor for East Ecclesfield ward, said:
“It's such good news that investment has been secured to reduce flooding in the Blackburn and Whitley brooks. Local residents in Ecclesfield and Chapeltown will be relieved.”

VE Day 80th Anniversary
This year sees the 80th anniversary of the end of World War 2 and to mark this occasion local charity The Valley at War Stocksbridge are organising a free living history celebration for all the family in Fox Valley on Saturday 10th May, from 10am until 3pm.
Local people from across our area played a huge role in the war effort, whether it be by serving in the armed forces, volunteering in Civil Defence, working in the steelworks, or playing their part on the Home Front. This VE Day celebration will feature stalls from local community organisations and provide a fascinating glimpse into how ordinary people played such an important role in the war effort, from ‘Digging for Victory’ and ‘Make Do and Mend’ to discovering ‘How the Guides Won the War!’
There will be living history displays of WW2 memorabilia, plus local history groups and Sheffield Archives who will help you to discover stories of what life was like for your ancestors in wartime. Military charities such as the Royal British Legion and Royal Naval Association will be present, and we look forward to welcoming the Mayor of Stocks-
bridge, Cllr Alan Law, our local MP Marie Tidball, and the Deputy Lieutenant of South Yorkshire to join in our celebrations on the day.
Music and entertainment played an important part in keeping up morale during wartime and so our VE Day celebrations will include live music from Sheffield University Big Band, playing hits of the era from Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington and Dizzy Gillespie, whilst 1940s-style vocalist Lady Lindy will serenade you to the tunes of Vera Lynn and the Andrews Sisters. Don’t forget your dancing shoes, and why not come along in 1940s dress and relive the national celebrations of May 1945?
There will also be a chance to get up close to vintage vehicles and chat about the Sheffield Blitz with the experts from the National Emergency Services Museum, and a modern fire engine, courtesy of South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue. Penistone Radio will be broadcasting live from the event on the day and will be looking to chat to visitors who have a story to tell.
The Valley at War Stocksbridge is a charitable association set
up last year to preserve and protect the Stocksbridge Clock Tower War Memorial and Gardens through researching the history of those commemorated and their families, and to create a heritage trail in the gardens. The VE Day event will see the launch of a new ‘People’s Poppy’ fundraiser to raise money towards the Memorial Trail through giving individuals, groups and businesses the opportunity to sponsor a poppy which will be displayed on lampposts across Stocksbridge, Deepcar, and Bolsterstone in late October/early Novem-
ber 2025, during the Remembrance period.
A People’s Poppy can be named either for someone who is commemorated on the Stocksbridge War Memorial, or for someone not on the memorial but who gave their life in conflict. All poppy sponsors will receive a certificate and be named on a virtual ‘wall of honour’ on our new Valley at War website to be launched later this year. Demand for a People’s Poppy is expected to be high, so visit the Valley at War stall on the day to
find out more and to be amongst the first to sponsor a People’s Poppy. Any local community groups who would like to enquire about having a free stall at the event please contact thevalleyatwarstocksbridge@gmail. com
The VE Day 80th Anniversary Living History event takes place on Saturday 10 May 10am – 12 noon at Fox Valley, free entry, dogs welcome.

magic of arcade gaming.
Packed with classic titles like PacMan, Donkey Kong and Sonic, as well as competitive favourites such as Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter, the van offers something for everyone.
A driving game with a full steering wheel and pedals provides immersive fun, while 2p pusher machines and a prize- lled claw grabber add to the excitement. For those who enjoy a challenge, shooting games test accuracy and re exes. Best of all, guests don’t need to worry about carrying cash—tokens are provided, and there’s even a chance to win prizes from the arcade’s cabinet,
plus a special birthday gi for the guest of honour.
As a family-run business, the focus is on delivering a ordable, hassle-free entertainment. Rather than expensive trips to crowded seaside arcades, they bring the fun directly to events—whether it’s a birthday party, village fête or community gathering.
e van is designed to spark nostalgia, friendly competition and shared laughter.
Chris said “We cater to birthday parties and weddings. We have also been asked to do a few charity events such as a Chester eld club vs Hollyoaks in July.”
What began as a career change for Chris

over a high score, the mobile amusement arcade is proving that sometimes, the best
way to spread happiness is on wheels.

APPEAL FOR SHEFFIELD BLITZ ARTEFACTS
e She eld Blitz Memorial Trust is calling on the public to help bring history to life by loaning treasured artefacts, family heirlooms, and memorabilia related to the She eld Blitz.
As part of the Blitz Kids Project — funded by a £91,280 grant from e National Lottery Heritage Fund — the permanent exhibition dedicated to the attacks at the National Emergency Services Museum is set to double in size in the coming months.
To ensure the expanded display tells the most powerful and personal story possible, the museum is asking the people of She eld if they have something they think might suit the exhibition.
Items previously displayed have included coins pulled from the wreckage of the Marples Hotel, which was attened during the Lu wa e attacks of December 1940. e coins had fused together from the extreme heat, serving as a poignant reminder of the tragic loss of life inside the building. ere’s also a bible – the only item that survived a direct hit on a She eld home. ese deeply personal objects help illustrate the devastating impact of the blitz, making the history tangible for future generations.
said: “We know there are treasured objects hidden away in drawers and attics that could help tell the story of She eld’s darkest hours. Whether it’s photographs, letters, medals, shrapnel, or household items that survived the bombing, the museum is particularly keen to nd new objects that tell a personal story.”
ousands of visitors a year already visit the She eld Blitz exhibition at the city’s National Emergency Services Museum.
A new book featuring the stories of 'blitz kids'— the last generation to have lived through the attacks – is presently in production. e funding is also supporting a series of educational and community engagement activities, including training for volunteers in interview recording, web design, and research.
If you have an item with a connection to the She eld Blitz and would consider loaning or donating, please get in touch with the She eld Emergency Services Museum on 0114 249 1999 or email info@visitnesm.org.uk

POLICE GIVEN MORE POWERS IN CITY CENTRE
A Public Spaces Protection Order will come into force in Sheffield city centre later this month.
Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs) are used by local authorities to help tackle antisocial behaviour in a particular area. eir purpose is to make public spaces safer and improve the quality of life for the local community.
ey work by setting out conditions and prohibiting certain activities, such as drinking alcohol, within a de ned area, that apply to everyone.
Breaking the conditions of a PSPO is a criminal o ence and can be enforced by local authorities and police.
In She eld, the decision to introduce a PSPO in the city centre was agreed at a Communities, Parks and Leisure Committee meeting on December 9 2024. is decision followed extensive consultation and feedback from the public.
Councillor Kurtis Crossland, Chair of Communities, Parks and Leisure Committee at She eld City Council, said:
“Everyone wants a safe and inviting city centre to live in or visit. We are working hard to ensure this, and that the area is the very best that it can be with residents and visitors having an enjoyable and positive experience when they visit.
“She eld is one of the safest cities in the country and a PSPO would work towards keeping it that way. It’s about protecting people and stopping anti-social behaviour that might make anyone feel unsafe or insecure.”
THE BED SHOP SHEFFIELD
Superintendent Paul Ferguson, of South Yorkshire Police, added: "We recognise there have been some issues in the city centre which existing legislation does not allow police or local authority o cers to challenge as robustly as we would like.
" e prohibitions which our PSPO will introduce have been shaped through public feedback and our own colleagues' recognition of the problems we come across. Its introduction will help o cers shi standards of behaviour in the city centre through taking early action to prevent the types of anti-social behaviour that a ect residents, visitors, and businesses in our city centre.
"Our teams are trained in how to implement the new powers introduced by the PSPO and they will be used proportionately and progressively with the aim of preventing harm to individuals and the wider community."
From Monday 7 April 2025, the She eld City Council City Centre Public Spaces Protection Order 2024 will come into e ect. e order outlines a number of things that will be prohibited within the city centre boundary, including:

SHEFFIELD DRUG DEALER JAILED
A She eld drug dealer who was involved in a £200,000 county lines network trading in heroin and cocaine has been jailed.
Kareem Derhim, 28, of Oxspring Bank, appeared at She eld Crown Court on Monday (10 March), where he pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply heroin, crack cocaine and cocaine, as well as possession of cannabis, and acquiring ammunition for a rearm without a certi cate.
On 6 December 2023, a warrant was executed at Derhim’s home, during which o cers discovered quantities of heroin, crack cocaine, cocaine, and cannabis. In addition, live ammunition was recovered from a safe at the address.
e drugs recovered in the warrant were estimated to have a street value of £5,500 to £7,800, and the drugs line with which Derhim was involved had an estimated value of £224,000.
She eld Fortify Sergeant, Paul Ganecki, said: “I am glad to see Derhim receive a lengthy sentence for his involvement in the trade of destructive drugs. “I am glad to see Derhim receive a lengthy sentence for his involvement in the trade of destructive drugs. e county lines operation, which Derhim was a part of, traded quantities of Class A drugs valued at hundreds of thousands of pounds, but the true cost is far more than nancial.

THE ‘STEEL PLAN’ PUBLIC MEETING THAT WASN’T
Last Thursday’s public meeting with our MP that I’d signed up for, on the day turned out nothing of the kind. We were put into pre-determined handfuls around one of a number of tables, to discuss prepared questions about the steel industry. No questions or comments, however brief, were allowed to Marie Tidball MP. How is this an exercise in democracy?
This session came the day after Gingye, the Chinese owners of British Steel, refused the Government’s offer to massively subsidise closing our last remaining blast furnaces – the two at Scunthorpe – and their replacement by electric arc jobs. This same company recently has built several huge blast furnaces back in China, which might be not a small part of why they complain they aren’t viable in Britain.
The only way to use electric arc furnaces to replace the primary steel-making of blast furnaces turns out to be unfeasible. Argus (the leading independent provider of energy and commodity market intelligence) this year calculated that the requisite DRI (direct reduced iron) process is twice as costly, but that’s just the start. Factoring in all of the capital investment, S&P Global (the leader in commodities analytics) citing Platts, reckons it could work out as much as $4,000 per tonne: approaching an order of magnitude greater. Yet never mind the price differential, the DRI route does not stand scaling up, given the increasing problem with volume of ‘ferrobergs’ –lacunae where there is no melting – rendering the product useless.
Simply recycling scrap would nowhere near meet the country’s needs, and a high proportion of it -as the metallurgists in our little coterie outlined –is not sufficiently sorted to exclude various other metals that would render unwanted changes to the properties of the steel.
Of course none of the prepared questions we were asked to collaborate in answering invited challenge to the scientifically and economically illiterate bases of the Government’s ‘steel plan’. In particular there was no scope to tackle the absurdity of the ‘carbon leakage’ of producing overall actually more CO2 by in effect exporting steel-making by blast furnace to China. Nor that every facet of ‘net zero’ is a nonsense and that the CO2 hypothesis of climate change is fully counter-evidenced. Still, I / we did make these points, and the general point that ‘net zero’ was obstacle, not opportunity, was
Local Opinion
noted by our facilitator; but that was it.
Notwithstanding all the value-added activity, energy price was raised as a big headache here at the Stocksbridge site (a surprise to me); albeit not as big a one as regarding the precursor scrap melting at Rotherham. This was firmly put to our facilitator.
The separate mini debates actually were fruitful. The participants I met were either current or retired Fox’s employees. Our small group comprised three expert metallurgists plus (or minus) highly non-expert me. At the end, our MP did come to sit with us and there was a good discussion concerning what to do to boost wider interest in apprenticeship places and to retain trainees upon completion.
I took my chance to raise with Marie the central issue for the Stocksbridge operation of Sanjeev Gupta, whose GFG Alliance has enormous debts shackling its Liberty Steel subsidiary. Is our MP looking into and pressing for a new owner? Not in the slightest, judging by her response: merely that this is not the first time she has heard that this is required. That was all she had to say. No noises as to the possibility of a strategic need warranting nationalisation: to join with Forgemasters? With Liberty Steel so dysfunctional through indebtedness, this is a situation right for government to bang heads together so as to move forward with the plant under a different set-up. So why is this not at the top of Marie Tidball’s agenda? Why isn’t she lobbying the Minister responsible for steel? Well that would be Sarah Jones, Minister of State at the Department for Business and Trade … and at the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. Ah.

Contributions to the meeting, which took place at The Venue in Stocksbridge, will be submitted to the government’s public consultation into the steel strategy - which will shape the government’s direction for the steel industry.
Marie introduced the evening by championing the importance of the local steelworks in Stocksbridge. She highlighted some of the actions the Labour Government have already taken to secure the future of steel, including setting up the Steel Council to bring together industry leaders and experts, and committing £2.5 billion to green steel.
Participants were split into small groups where they worked through five themes from the Government’s consultation on their steel strategy. The themes covered demand for locally made steel and investment opportunities for steelmaking in the constituency; strengthening procurement in the public and private sectors; trade and impact of overcapacity in global markets on local steelmaking; green steel, energy prices, and reusing raw materials; and workforce, skills, research, and development.
To conclude the evening, Marie gave some closing remarks reflecting on what she had discussed with constituents throughout the evening. She highlighted the importance of championing British-made, green steel as an advantage for the UK’s steel sector, as well as the opportunity to close the skills gaps in the workforce by connecting local schools with industry based educational opportunities such as apprenticeships at local steel and advanced manufacturing businesses in the area.
Marie Tidball MP, Member of Parliament for Penistone and Stocksbridge, said,
“What a privilege to listen to the wealth of experience at my ‘Steel Strategy’ constituency meeting in Stocksbridge.
“There were so many ideas and so much innovation on what we need to do to increase demand, supply, and the success of British-made steel from local experts. From steelworkers, engineers, and metallurgists with decades of experience, to local business owners and residents in Stocksbridge who have seen the steelworks develop over the years, I thoroughly appreciate all the insight they contributed.
“I will be collating and submitting the feedback to the Government’s steel strategy consultation, and I will use the information to secure the future of our proud local steel industry.
“I’ve been backing local steel in our patch since day one, and I will continue to champion our specialist steelworks in Stocksbridge and advanced manufacturing businesses across our communities.”
Welcoming Places for Breast Feeding
A new trail around Sheffield is being launched to help make the city even more welcoming for breastfeeding families.
The Milk Trail, which is being organised by Sheffield City Council’s Family Hubs, is open to everyone, whether they are breastfeeding or just want to show their support, to get out and explore the city while highlighting breastfeeding-friendly venues.
The new trail was launched at a Infant Feeding Event hosted in the Winter Garden on Thursday 20 March.
While there are many breastfeeding-friendly locations across the city, the trail highlights eight places where anyone breastfeeding their baby can find a comfortable spot and a supportive atmosphere.
The specially created Milk Trail map, which can be downloaded or picked up from a family hub, focuses on eight venues across the city, who have signed up to Breastfeeding in Sheffield’s Breastfeeding Friendly award.
The Milk Trail also includes a fun quiz about mammals and their milk and the answers to each question can be found at each of the eight venues.
Once the quiz is completed it can be returned to one of the Family Hubs, where it will be entered into a prize draw.
Breastfeeding is proven to be the healthiest form of nutrition for babies in their early weeks, months and beyond as it helps with brain development as well as supporting their immune system while providing a range of health benefits for the mother too.
Sheffield’s breastfeeding rates are above the national average, with 58% of babies receiving some form of breast milk at six weeks old.
Councillor Dawn Dale, Chair of the Education, Children and Families Committee, said:
"We know that Sheffield has higher than average rates of breastfeeding thanks to the work that has continued through our family hubs, and the milk trail aims to help build on this.

GOLD FOR BARNSLEY COLLEGE GYMNAST
Barnsley College Learning for Living and Work student, Ellie Hardy, and her new gymnastics partner, Jessica Wilson, have achieved a Gold medal at the 2025 Leeds Acro Open. The national open competition held at John Smeaton Leisure Centre, saw both girls excel in acrobatic gymnastics. Ellie and Jessica competed in the Grade Four disability category where they executed a routine involving a mix of dance and balances along with individual skills and tumbles.
Ellie said: “I’m very proud of myself and happy that I achieved a Gold medal. The prepa-
ration was hard because I had to train really hard every session and do extra conditioning.
“I am now preparing for the national preliminaries by training hard four times a week and upgrading my balances so that they are worth a higher tariff.”
This achievement adds to Ellie’s previous accolades. In 2024, Ellie was crowned Yorkshire Champion for Grade Four Disability Acrobatic Gymnastics with a former gymnastics partner for the second consecutive year.
Ellie’s mum, Pippa, added: “I am extremely proud of Ellie. There have been a lot of changes since her last competition - new routine, partner, coaches and a new venue for the competition but she took it all in her stride and worked through the anxiety that the changes caused.
“She shows such determination to go out and do her best every single time she goes out on the competition floor despite the difficulties she has to overcome to get there.”
Nicola Thomson-Dewey, Head of the Learning for Living and Work Department at the College, commends Ellie:
“Her resilience is just phenomenal. She overcame changes and anxiety to accomplish this feat. What a super star Ellie is.”
