Coronation Park, Oughtibridge
A message from Graeme Whittaker, the Chairman of the Land and Premises committee
As you may have seen the Park was badly damaged in the floods in June. Volunteers have been working very hard for the past three Saturdays decontaminating the area. The damaged pavilion has been fenced off and will be demolished once planning permission for a new pavilion has been granted. The application process for a new pavilion has already been started. The lost or damaged equipment will be replaced through the insurance. The park is now opened although there is still some work to be done.

Stannington apartments (Wraggs site)
The flats are now occupied with just some work on the car park surface and the landscaping to be finished. The request for the Planning Gain money for this site was for it to be spent on improving the Village Green and the Park. Sheffield City Council has received the money and is holding it until an agreement is made on how the money should be spent.

Bradfield Village Hall
The new hall was officially opened and is in full use. Please contact www.bradfieldvillagehall.org.uk for further details.

Village Appraisals
As a result of the village appraisal project a Rural Youth bid was submitted and proved successful and is already providing some youth services within the parish with other groups in the process of being created. The Parish Council is working in partnership with other agencies to manage this project. We await further news. Youth provision is ongoing at Wharncliffe Side and Stannington, with a new group starting at Zion in Oughtibridge. A glitch at Bradfield is trying to be sorted and it is hoped that the group will be back up and running very soon.

Sensicall Park
The Parish Council has commissioned the Steel Valley Project to implement the Management Plan to improve the area.
