.....

The Planning Board are going to meet on Monday November 23rd at 2pm to make a decision regarding East Midlands Trains proposal to install barriers at the station and block our access to the bridge. We will be meeting outside the Town Hall at 1.15pm to lobby the councillors as they go in. Please bring banners and anything that will make a loud noise! There will be speeches outside from some of the different organisations that have objected. At 2pm we will be going inside to listen to the debate and support the people making our case.

The Station Situation

RASC ( http://www.rasc-sheffield.com ) are a pressure group uniting a wide range of groups, individuals, organisations and communities, in a campaign to stop East Midlands Trains installing barriers at Sheffield Station. Ticket barriers will prevent many people walking through the station to gain access to the city centre or the tram stop which is at the back of the station.
Why do we oppose it?

Sheffield is proud of the station and the region has spent £50 million on the award-winning refurbishment of the station and the immediate vicinity. The resulting refurbishment is described as a world class gateway to the city (In this
The footbridge links communities and organisations on both sides of the station. It is one of the few truly integrated transport networks in the area uniting as is does, the tram stop, the station and the Sheffield Interchange (explained on The bridge is particularly important for wheel chair and push chair users as the only alternative bridge is completely inaccessible, so a very large diversion would be required

“if life's journey be endless where is its goal? The answer is, it everywhere We are in a palace which has no end, but which we have reached, by exploring it and extending our relationship with it we are ever making it more and more our own”

Rabindranath Tagore 1861
