Sheffield Public Notice Round-up: Road closures for Percy Pud 10k and flood defence work
Public notices have been published listing two roads that are set to close over the next few weeks.
Clyde Road has been closed for six months due to the ‘likelihood of danger to the public’.
It connects Broadfield Road to Saxon Road, off Abbeydale Road, and is the scene of flood defence work on the River Sheaf.
It has been closed since October 2024 after the River Sheaf breached a defence wall below The Emporium antiques shop.
The shop and a footbridge carrying Sheaf Walk were forced to close. A 5ft sandbag flood barrier was erected around the building.
Now, workers are on site preparing to demolish the shop. In October, the Environment Agency said they hoped to reopen Clyde Road by Christmas.
Meanwhile preparations are underway for this year’s Percy Pud 10K race.
Sheffield City Council has announced that on December 7, Loxley Road from Rodney Hill to New Road and New Road from Loxley Road to Mill Lee Road will be closed.
Some 3,000 people ran Sheffield’s most famous 10k last year on its 30th anniversary.
As usual there were people in cumbersome fancy dress, some seriously fast types and hundreds more in between.
