and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
Sheffield City Council wants to spend £1.425m to ‘improve’ a 3.5 mile stretch between Champs bar near Waitrose and Whirlowdale Road.


It says the A625 has been identified by the Road Safety Foundation as one of the 27 worst urban roads in the country for collisions.

Now, two public consultation sessions are being held, 2pm - 5.30pm on Wednesday, October 16 at Ecclesall Library and 4pm - 7.30pm on Thursday, October 24 at the Jubilee Centre at City Church, Wilson Road, Broomhall.


The cash is from the Safer Roads Fund, from the Department for Transport.
