SY RECORDS REDUCTIONS IN KEY CRIMES
South Yorkshire has seen notable reductions in key crime categories over the past year, according to the latest police recorded crime figures published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) for the year ending June 2025.
The data reveals a 38% decrease in firearms offences, with recorded incidents falling from 273 to 168.
This is a sharper decline than the regional average of 32% and the national average of 16%. The drop reflects ongoing
efforts by South Yorkshire Police to disrupt organised criminal networks and remove illegal weapons from circulation. The force’s armed crime team, which expanded its remit in late 2024, has played a pivotal role in investigating firearmrelated burglaries and discharges.
Residential burglary also saw a substantial reduction of 11%, aligning with national trends but outperforming the regional decrease of 5%. This improvement is attributed to
targeted policing and community engagement initiatives aimed at prevention and early intervention.
Knife crime, a persistent concern across the UK, decreased by 2% in South Yorkshire. While modest, this decline is part of a broader regional and national downward trend. South Yorkshire Police’s participation in Operation Sceptre, a bi-annual national week of action, led to the recovery of 245 knives and 87 arrests. The force also conducted
over 50 school visits and engaged with retailers to reinforce responsible sales practices in the second week of action last year.
Commenting on the figures, Deputy Mayor for South Yorkshire Kilvinder Vigurs said: “These reductions are a testament to the hard work and dedication of our officers and partners across South Yorkshire. Tackling serious violence and burglary remains a top priority and we are encouraged by the progress made. “However, we know
there is more to do, and we remain committed to building safer communities through proactive policing and strong local partnerships.”
While the overall crime rate (excluding fraud) in South Yorkshire fell by 3%, matching the regional average, the area also saw increases in sexual offences and drugrelated crimes. These rises are understood to reflect improved reporting and proactive enforcement, rather than a surge in offending.

FIvE kEEP ON MOvIN’ AND MAkE THEIR WAY TO SHEFFIELD
one of the most successful and iconic boy bands of all time, Five kicked off their longawaited Keep on Movin’ arena tour last week and visit the Utilita arena in Sheffield on Wednesday 19th November, proving that a quarter of a century later, they definitely still have the power to rock you! Reuniting for their first tour in 25 years, Abz Love, J Brown, Ritchie Neville, Scott Robinson and Sean Conlon exploded onto the stage in Cardiff last week with a showstopping performance and an
electrifying, hit-packed set that had fans on their feet from the moment the lights dimmed in the arena and the first notes of “Slam Dunk (Da Funk)” hit.
The 90-minute show spanned Five’s charttopping career from “If Ya Gettin’ Down”, “Everybody Get Up” and international smash “When The Lights Go Out” to No.1s “Keep On Movin’”, “We Will Rock You”, “Let’s Dance” and more, with a few surprises along the way. Backed by a full live band and a production that set the stage alight, it was a night
to remember, filled with the magic that defined a generation and a true celebration of timeless pop.
In an emotional moment on stage, J Brown said:
“Never in our wildest dreams could me and the guys have imagined we’d share a stage again. It really does show that at the end of the day love conquers everything. The love and the bond that these five dudes have, and everything we’ve been through together, has made this possible. It’s beautiful.”
Sean Conlon added: “Back in the 1990s when
we made this genre of pop, people did not expect for it to mean so much to so many people 25 years on. This is absolutely incredible.”
The Keep On Movin’ Arena Tour continues across the UK, with upcoming dates in Brighton, Bournemouth, Cardiff, Nottingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, London, Birmingham, Newcastle, Aberdeen, Glasgow, Sheffield, Belfast and Dublin.
With the initial 12 shows selling out in under three hours, limited tickets are available for some of the
5/11/1605 - The arrest of Guy Fawkes.
6/11/1935 - Parker Brothers acquires the patents for MONOPOLY.
7/11/1908 - Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid are killed.
8/11/1960 - John F. Kennedy becomes 35th President of the USA.
additional dates via www. itsfiveofficial.com. Formed in 1997, Five went on to sell more than 20 million records worldwide, charting in over 20 countries. They are the only UK act to hit the Top 10 with all of their 11 singles, including three No.1s. The boy band sensation’s first album, the double-platinum Five, debuted at No.1 on the Official Charts in 1998, with follow-up Invincible also certifying double platinum in 1999. Five embarked on a successful world tour, performing shows in the UK, US, Europe, South
America, Australia and Asia. Their Keep On Movin’ tour, which started on 29th October, will be the first time all five band members share the stage together in over 25 years. After initially going on sale with 12 shows, the tour now spans 25 arenas across the UK and Ireland. 2026 will be another exciting year as they continue the tour overseas in Australia and New Zealand, with further plans in the pipeline.

News, Information and Advice
is your teen using drugs?
Would you notice if your teen changed? Not something big – just the little things. They’re in their room more, and the conversations that used to flow now fall flat.
According to Perry Clayman, managing director and founder of Rehab Today, parents often feel the change before they actually see any signs. “Teens won’t usually admit they’re trying drugs, and at their age, curiosity and experimentation are natural. If it’s just that –experimentation – you’ll probably never even know it,” he says. “The issue is when it turns into a habit or a coping mechanism – that’s when you’ll start to notice something’s off.” Clayman has spent decades helping families through addiction and shares the early signs that parents should keep an eye out for:
1. They’re not themselves lately Every teenager has their moods. But sometimes the shift feels sharper – different. They’re suddenly defensive, or quieter than usual.
“When a laid-back teen starts snapping, or one who’s usually chatty goes silent, listen to that gut feeling,” Clayman says. It can be easy to brush off changes as ‘just teenage stuff’. But if that new mood lingers for weeks and you can’t quite place why, that’s when it’s time to ask – gently – what’s really going on.
2. Schoolwork starts slipping – and they don’t seem to care
A missed deadline isn’t unusual. But when late homework turns into skipped classes or constant tiredness, it’s time to start asking questions. Sometimes you’ll hear excuses, sometimes just a shrug. Either way, a drop in effort, alongside changes in mood or sleep, shouldn’t be ignored.
3. Small physical changes start to add up Red eyes. A loss of appetite. Sleeping at odd hours. Each one on its own might mean nothing – but together, they start to tell a story. Of course, these signs alone don’t prove anything. But when they appear alongside emotional or social changes, that’s when parents should look closer.
4. Money suddenly goes missing Teenagers need money –that’s nothing new. But if
cash starts going missing, or they’re suddenly asking for more than usual without being able to explain why, that’s worth a closer look.
“Drug use costs money, and sudden spending changes can be one of the first red flags,” says Clayman. And while it’s tempting to react in frustration, Clayman says calm questions get better answers. “Anger shuts teens down. Curiosity opens them up.”
5. New friends, new habits, new rules Friend groups naturally change, but when it happens overnight – and your teen suddenly won’t say who they’re with – that’s worth paying attention to. “If your teen stops seeing old friends suddenly or becomes secretive about new ones, that can be a sign of something deeper,” says Clayman. It’s not always a bad crowd – sometimes it’s just new influences.
But sudden secrecy about plans or names can signal they’re looking for people who won’t question new behaviours.
6. Language and habits that shift overnight You might hear slang or phrases you don’t recognise, or see your teen hide their phone faster than usual. “When language changes suddenly, or they become protective of their messages, it can sometimes point to experimentation,” Clayman says. Still, the best approach isn’t confrontation. Ask what something means, even if you feel out of touch. Showing interest rather than suspicion keeps the conversation alive – and that’s what matters most. Talk early – before it’s serious Clayman says the best time to talk about drugs is before there’s a reason to worry. “Use what’s around you,” he suggests.
“If it comes up in a show or on social media, that’s your cue. Keep it casual, not heavy. It helps normalise the topic.”
And if you do find out they’ve tried something?
“Stay calm,” he says.
“Experimentation doesn’t mean addiction – and it doesn’t mean you’ve failed as a parent. What matters is how you respond.”
Patience goes a long way. With the right support, most young people move past it and learn from the experience. Early action and calm conversations make all the difference.
bike barns a hit in schools
The installation of several brand-new Bike Barns at schools across Sheffield have proved to be a massive hit both with pupils and the local communities, encouraging more and more students to cycle or scoot to and from school every day and help the city to tackle congestion.
The facilities have been placed within the school grounds and offer storage for children’s bikes and scooters allowing them to adopt a more active lifestyle in the way they get to and from the classroom, but the barns do more than that.
As part of the design of the units, they’ve been built using sustainably source timber and feature innovative green roofs helping to clean up the air and promote biodiversity.
The Bike Barns have been built by the team at DoingRBit with the funding being provided as part of Sheffield’s Clean Air Plan with money generated from the Clean Air Zone. In all, 10 Primary Schools have had a Bike Barn installed across Sheffield.
Cllr Ben Miskell of the Council said: “I’m delighted to see that our new Bike Barns have become so popular both with pupils and parents at the schools they’ve been installed in so far. Adopting an active travel lifestyle to and from school has so many benefits for the children, from improving their health to improving the air they breathe around their local communities.
Hearing that the Bike Barns are encouraging more and more children to cycle or scoot to and from school daily is fantastic and long may it continue. It also helps us as a city to tackle congestion on the school run. The evidence shows that the Bike Barns are supporting more and more children to cycle or scoot to and from school daily, which is fantastic and long may it continue.”
Sarah Bins, headteacher of Stannington Infants School said: “We had our Bike Barn installed in July 2025, and it was an immediate hit with the children. Our previous bike storage was rather old and tired and certainly didn’t draw the children’s attention anymore. The sustainable aspect of the Bike Barn was important to us as
fireworks advice for pets
an Eco School and our school bees have enjoyed the living roof throughout the summer. Almost immediately more children began cycling to school and parents feel their bikes are stored securely throughout the school day.”
And this was echoed by Hannan Mohammed, Headteacher at Carfield Primary School: “Our bike sheds have quickly become one of the most appreciated additions to our school grounds. They’ve made cycling and scooting to school safer, easier, and more appealing for pupils and families alike. With secure, weatherprotected storage, children feel confident leaving their bikes and scooters during the day—and parents love the peace of mind that comes with it. Beyond practicality, the bike sheds have helped promote active travel and healthier lifestyles. We’ve seen a noticeable increase in pupils choosing to ride instead of drive, which means fewer cars at drop-off and a calmer, cleaner school environment. It’s a small change that’s made a big impact—and we couldn’t be happier to see our bike sheds full each morning.” Meanwhile the transformation of a massive part of Sheffield city centre has been shortlisted for a global award, alongside the city’s recent brand development work, pitting Sheffield against an impressive list of other places from around the world.
The area around Pounds Park has been shortlisted for the Best Placemaking Initiative at the City Nation Place Global Awards alongside Sheffield Inspires, developed in conjunction with Manasian&Co, which has been nominated for highest accolade of all, Place Brand of the Year, while the launch of the brand has been shortlisted for the Best Use of Design category with the Council working alongside a trio of Sheffield creatives: Rob Lee, 96 Back and Andy Robinson.
Springfield Veterinary Group - Hackenthorpe in Sheffield Road has launched a campaign to help pet owners protect animals from stress caused by seasonal fireworks displays. Clients are being contacted directly with advice and those with particular concerns about their dog’s anxiety are welcome to speak to the friendly reception team and book an appointment. The initiative aims to raise awareness of the impact fireworks can have on pets and provide practical guidance to help navigate the season safely. Studies show that nearly half of all dogs exhibit signs of fear when exposed to fireworks. For most pets, simple changes at home are enough to settle their nerves. However, some pets may experience more severe fear or noise phobia. This can be harder to manage, but treatment is possible. The team at Springfield Veterinary GroupHackenthorpe shares the following advice:
• Create a comfortable space at home that your pet can retreat to You can use blankets, toys, and familiar scents, and their water should be moved nearby. For smaller pets, bring their cage or hutch away from windows and don’t be tempted to take them out to handle, as they are more likely to nip or jump and be injured. Closing windows and curtains
and playing relaxing music or white noise can also help create a calm environment.
• Keep pets inside from dusk until dawn
Safety is most important, even if it means missing a few walks. If you have a cat that usually toilets outside, try introducing a litter tray early so they are used to this option.
Sudden loud noises can cause pets to panic, increasing the number of traffic accidents and escaped pets, so remember to check microchip details are up to date for cats and dogs.
• Model calm behaviour for your pet
Pets take cues from their owners, so remaining calm and offering gentle reassurance can ease their anxiety. Never punish your pet for showing signs of fear, such as destructive behaviour or toileting in the house. It’s important you are seen as a safe space, and a person they can trust.
Shula Berg, Clinical Director at Springfield Veterinary GroupHackenthorpe said: “With fireworks season just around the corner, our clients often ask how they can help keep their pets safe and calm. Our campaign is all about giving owners simple, effective tools to make this season more comfortable for their pets.”
reservoir levels update
Rainfall across the region has seen Yorkshire’s reservoir levels rise for the seventh consecutive week, with stocks now at 57.1%.
Whilst levels increased, they remain well below the 74.2% average for this time of year. Dave Kaye, director of water services at Yorkshire Water, said: “Our reservoirs, groundwater sources, and rivers, are in recovery following the extremely dry weather we experienced in the spring and summer. However, stocks are still much lower than they should be for this time of year, and we need significant increases over the autumn and winter so that we are in a strong position heading into spring 2026. ” To enable reservoirs to recover as much as possible over the next few months, Yorkshire Water has hired an additional 10 task teams to focus on finding and fixing leaks across the region. Dave added; “We’ve repaired over 11,000 leaks since the beginning of April this year, and we’ve been repairing those leaks an average of 36% faster than usual – leakage has reduced by 34

million litres per day since the start of April.
We’re making sure we’re prepared by bringing additional colleagues into the business to find and fix leaks quicker. We’re also progressing with our £406m mains replacement scheme at pace. We’ve replaced 100km of water mains across the region so far” With more wet weather predicted, Yorkshire Water is encouraging customers to support reservoir recovery efforts by continuing to conserve water resources where they can, using water butts to capture rainwater, and checking their homes for leaks. Since April, smart meter data has enabled Yorkshire Water to reach out to 2,800 households to advise that they may have a leak in their property – with repairs reducing leakage by 2.24 million litres a day. Dave said: “Once again we’d like to thank customers for their efforts during the spring and summer, and for taking further steps to save water where they can.”
The hosepipe restrictions remain in place and will be lifted as soon as reservoirs have sufficiently recovered.

Visionary’s pageantry reinvention brings empowerment icons to Sheffield
A Sheffield-born entrepreneur who built a global career in photography and became the first woman of colour to lead Europe’s picture agency trade body (CEPIC) brought Miss South Yorkshire firmly into the 21st century with a sell-out grand final at the Royal Victoria Crowne Plaza Heritage Hotel.
Christina Vaughan – founder and CEO of Cultura Creative and recipient of the Queen’s Award for Enterprise – has spent decades challenging stereotypes and championing inclusivity through her work in the global media industry.
Her overhaul of Miss South Yorkshire saw her apply the same ethos to pageantry, creating a platform that celebrates confidence, creativity and purpose. The event drew civic leaders, business figures and major names from the beauty and fashion world, earning widespread praise for setting “a new benchmark for pageantry with purpose”.
Twelve finalists from Sheffield, Barnsley, Rotherham and Doncaster shared their personal stories and community projects before a judging panel including supermodel Heather Stewart-Whyte, entrepreneur Chantal Epp, international model David Donald, former Miss UK Alison Singleton, Doncaster-born celebrity make-up artist Gary Cockerill and Georgia Meacham – the model/ actress who was born deaf in both ears.
Second-year Sheffield Hallam University student Whitney Dsane took the coveted Miss South Yorkshire title. A content creator studying Journalism and Media with Public Relations, she will now represent South Yorkshire at next month’s Miss England Grand Final.
“Whitney embodies everything this new era competition stands for – resilience, creativity and self-belief,” said Christina Vaughan. “South Yorkshire has shown that beauty with purpose isn’t a slogan – it’s a movement.”
The evening included a Red Carpet reception, a three-course meal, entertainment and the competition itself.
Whitney Dsane said: “I’ve faced my own challenges with confidence growing up, but they’ve made me stronger. I want to use this platform to remind young women that self-love isn’t arrogance — it’s power.”
Christina, who previously ran the award-winning Image Source agency, is no stranger to shaking up an industry. Cultura Creative has redefined the global stock image market by replacing narrow, stereotype-driven visuals with authentic, diverse and bias-free imagery. Through partnerships with Fujifilm, Adobe Stock and Alamy, it has challenged beauty stereotypes at scale and redefined how people and communities are represented worldwide.
The Miss England final takes place on 20–21 November at the Grand Station in Wolverhampton. More information: www. misssouthyorkshire.com
Whitney Dsane was crowned Miss South Yorkshire.

Following Sunday’s event, the Mayor of Rotherham will lead a two-minute silence in All Saints Square on Tuesday, 11 November for Armistice Day which marks the end of the First World War at 11am on 11 November 1918.
Mayor of Rotherham, Cllr Rukhsana Ismail said: “The Remembrance Parade and the Armistice Day ceremony will provide an important reminder of the ultimate sacrifice made by those who have served.

Rotherham heroes, past and present.”

Chris Wilder says he and his players know the importance of cutting out individual errors if the Blades are to enjoy a consistent climb up the Championship table.
Reflecting on the disappointment of the weekend, the boss remarked: “We’ve reviewed and talk about things; we’re not taking a wrecking ball to it and we’ve done a lot of work in a short space of time. But we aren’t a ridiculously poor side who have collapsed, we need to stop one mistake becoming two and making it easy for the opposition.
“We don’t get those moments that we have given others, we don’t get the decisions that have gone against us, and we can’t accept it easily, lightly or cheaply.
“I build on culture, people know that, talent obviously too, but this is an unforgiving league, as it was against Preston and Derby, but the players have to step up and perhaps replace those
who have departed who did lead from the front.”
The boss then praised the reaction of Sydie Peck, despite his individual error that led to Derby extending their in the opening minute of the second half.
Wilder added: “We are in a profession that is scanned and magnified and if you make a mistake, people come after you, but players will survive, he didn’t go
under, and he stuck up his hand and acknowledged his error.
“We’ve haven’t been battered by anyone, and he hasn’t been exposed as he was in that department in the first six games, but he has to fight his way through it and stand-up be counted.
It is a testing time for me at 57, so it is going to be for him in his second full season at this level.”

Owls Manager Henrik
Pedersen said he felt his side were ‘online’ for the full 95 minutes this afternoon in the goalless draw with West Brom at The Hawthorns.
The Owls left the Midlands with a welldeserved share of the spoils after a solid performance against the Baggies.
Defensively, Wednesday were strong throughout and the clean sheet was thoroughly merited as Pedersen explained:
“You need to have a high level for 95 minutes to get something from these games,” he said post-match.
“I really think from the first moment today we were where we needed to be, we had a difficult beginning, but how the players worked into the game was fantastic.
“It’s a difficult place to play against a difficult opponent but we played a strong first half.
“It is the first time I had the feeling that we
were online, especially defensively, over the full 95 minutes.
“I think Sean was fantastic today how he always won his duels, he was always calm.
Harry was back in the game, he had a really strong beginning and big respect to him.
“Then the front three, Ugbo how hard he worked today defensively, Svante and Jamal – how good they were defensively, there were no passes behind
them so we were very compact.
“This is the best defensive game Jamal has played, a good player will always play a good defensive game and he played a top defensive game today.
“Barry and Yan in the midfield were fantastic and then most important, our back five because when we press high, from medium to high press, they had so much courage with their front foot defending.

Then Ethan was calm and strong and played a really good game too.”
It’s a positive end to a big week at the club as attention now turns to Wednesday night’s home fixture with Norwich, which is heading towards an S6 sell-out.
Pedersen concluded:
“We worked so hard on our build-up and breaking the first line and I think slowly we are growing and we’ll keep on going on this way, of course.”
‘It’s around tHe corner’ - Mccann
Grant McCann felt the performance from Rovers in the win at Crewe Alexandra was another step forward for his team.
While not entirely satisfied with the manner of the showing at the Mornflake Stadium, McCann said he recognised further improvement in his side’s play.
And he believes they are close to hitting their stride once again.
“I know it’s coming,” McCann said. “I know it’s around the corner.
a precise low shot that slid into the bottom corner. Rotherham took the lead early on in the fifth minute when Sam Nombe dribbled through the Swindon defense and calmly finished past Connor Ripley.
Swindon responded strongly, with Cameron Dawson making a stunning full-length save to deny Gavin Kilkenny’s shot. Nombe had a chance to double Rotherham’s lead after a clever pass from Gore, but he fired just wide.
He also headed against the crossbar from Joe Powell’s perfect cross. As half-time approached, Swindon nearly equalized, but Paul Glatzel’s close-range effort was kept out by Dawson at the near post.
In the second half, the hosts continued to threaten, with Drinan and Ollie Palmer both narrowly missing with headers.
Swindon finally equalized in the 73rd minute when Drinan unselfishly played a cutback across goal, allowing Palmer to bundle the ball home.
Princewill Ehibhatiomhan came close to securing victory in normal time, but his header struck the crossbar.
As the extra time approached its conclusion, it seemed destined for a penalty shootout. However, it was Swindon who secured the crucial winning goal with just four minutes of added time remaining. Rotherham struggled to clear their lines, with Holmes and others failing to get the ball away from danger.
Oldaker capitalized on the mistake, bringing the ball under control before unleashing a smooth, low leftfooted shot that beat Dawson’s desperate full-length dive.
“We showed signs of it at Reading last week, when we created lots of opportunities.
And we showed signs again today when we’ve created a lot of opportunities.
“We need to go and believe in ourselves at the top end of the pitch.
“We just want to continue the momentum and continue to build on what we’ve showed over the last couple of games and take it into the next one.
“We’ve got a really good game next week - a
Yorkshire derby against Barnsley - so we’ll make sure we get the players prepared.”
Rovers will play a behind-closed-doors game during the week to ensure those that have not featured in recent weeks gain match minutes.
“We’ll have a bounce game in the week for the lads that need some minutes,” he said.
“After that we start into Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday again so it’s important we keep everyone ready.”
