Sheffield Street Force

In the last one week, Sheffield gritters have covered over 43,000 kilometres of highways, a distance equivalent to more than the circumference of the earth.

Sheffield Live! talks to Street Force director John Charlton about gritters, snow wardens and potholes.

Nick Clegg’s latest visit to Sheffield attracted the kind of attention politicians shy away from.

On September 3, trade unionists and campaigners gathered outside the Town Hall to protest public spending cuts and remind Clegg of the promises he had made before the general elections. The protest was organised to coincide with the launching ceremony of Opportunity Sheffield, where Nick Clegg was the guest speaker.

On his arrival at the Town Hall, Clegg was greeted with the chants of ‘Judas’, a reception quite different from the one he got at Barker’s Pool just a few months back.

Speaking to Sheffield Live! the Hallam MP answered questions about Forgemasters loan, his constituency home and the charge that he has betrayed Sheffield.

Natasha is a Restorative Justice Mentor for Sheffield YOS, the Youth Offending Service, and was one of the organisers of the three-week course. Jacob Whitehead, one of this year’s participants, talked to us about the workshops they attended, as well as what he had learnt and how he felt it would help him towards a future career in the music and arts industry.

As well as giving these young people something worthwhile to do over the summer, the project was also about giving them a focus and preparing them for a future career, encouraging them to rebuild their lives.

Workshops included drumming, street art, break dancing, music production, mixing and learning interview techniques at Sheffield Live! 93.2FM.

Communities Live was invited to take a look at the exhibition of their work where Emma Wass spoke with Project Coordinator Katie Ryan.
