PENISTONE TRANSPORT SCHEME PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT MEETINGS

This message is to inform residents of an upcoming period of public engagement for two important local transport schemes:

- the Trans Pennine Trail improvements between Pen*stone and
Wortley and;
- the Pen*stone Station footbridge and car park scheme

Whilst the schemes are separate and not interdependent, the public engagement is being combined for time and cost efficiencies. Residents and businesses near to the schemes will soon be receiving letters notifying them about this engagement period. The letters will include details of the scheme proposals, anticipated time frames, and clear information on how residents can share their feedback. Shown below are the dates, venues and times of the drop-in events, giving residents the opportunity to view and discuss proposals for both schemes with the project teams.

PUBLIC MEETINGS

Thursday 18 June - Cubley Room, St John’s Community Centre, Church Street, Pen*stone, S36 6AR 2pm-6pm

Tuesday 23 June - Wortley Wagyu Café, Cote Green Farm, Finkle St Ln, Wortley, Sheffield S35 7DH 10am-2pm

Councillor Mandy Lowe-Flello, a two-time Mayor of Pen*stone, was nominated by Pen*stone Town Council to attend this year’s Royal Garden Party on 12th May. Thankfully the weather kept fine and Councillor Mandy had a wonderful time talking to the Royal Beefeaters and even shook hands with Queen Camilla!

We're currently compiling a new history section on the PTC website which will be published in a few months' time to coincide with the completion of the Town Hall renovations.

The Millennium Patchwork is one of the items that will be featured in the galleries.

We have limited information about this other than the odd clipping in the Heritage Group Archives.

Can anyone help out? Perhaps you have photos of the work in progress; you're one of the members who worked on it (or a relative)?

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

please pop in to see the Clerk at the Resource Centre or alternatively email with any information pertaining to this matter to [email protected]

Have your say on South Yorkshire's buses – from Wednesday 25 March to Sunday 17 May

South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) has launched a survey which sets out some of the first improvements we’ll make when buses come under public control in South Yorkshire from September 2027.

The survey, which is open until midnight on Sunday 17 May, will give passengers, residents, businesses, and community groups the chance to share their experiences and priorities. The questions draw on what people have already told SYMCA about where the network falls short, focusing on improving links to key destinations, closing gaps in coverage and making services more reliable.

Working with local councils, we've used this feedback to help shape the first changes passengers will see in 2027, when buses in South Yorkshire begin moving back under public control for the first time in decades.

Potential priorities for the network include:

• More reliable buses that arrive when you expect them to
• Simple timetables that are easy to read and plan around
• Better evening and weekend services
• Making it easier to travel by bus to hospitals, workplaces, town centres, schools, colleges and the shops

We would like to hear as many views as possible about the proposals in the consultation to help shape a brighter future for public transport in South Yorkshire.

All the information and how to take part is available at southyorkshire-ca.gov.uk/improving-bus-services or by calling Traveline on 0800 952 0002 (weekdays between 07:00 and 19:00 and at weekends/Bank Holidays between 08:00 and 19:00) to request a paper copy.

Over the past year we’ve been listening to passengers, communities and local organisations to understand what matters most when it comes to bus journeys. You’ve told us buses need to turn up on time, reach more places, and be easier to plan and use.
