Sheffield Consultation Hub

We initially consulted on BT’s proposal to remove one payphone at Rotherham Road/Station Road, Halfway from 20 August 2021 to 1 October 2021.  A further consultation was then undertaken from 6 October 2021 to 5 November 2021 on a ‘First Notification’ draft decision.

We received no comments on the initial consultation and no comments on the ‘First Notification’ draft decision.

We have now issued a ‘Final Notification’ which is our final decision on whether to object or agree to the removal of the payphone at Rotherham Road/Station Road, Halfway.

A copy of the Final Notification can be seen below.

We asked for your views on the Cultural hearings of the Race Equality Commission hearing report and what actions we should consider regarding Sheffield's streets names, monuments, and library, museums and art collections and how they might better reflect our modern city and its diverse communities.

You do not want to see changes to street names, monuments etc.

We acknowledge this strong feeling and are not currently intending to change any of the existing street names or remove any statues.  The report into statues and street names is only part of the Council's wider response to making the city and its places, spaces and institutions more representative of the diverse people and communities that make up the city.  The report of the Race Equality Commission will be published in 2022 and we will act on its recommendations.  The Council has also recently established Local Area Committees which will bring new ways of working with a much more local focus.

We initially consulted on BT’s proposal to remove 46 payphones in the Sheffield Area from 20 April 2021 to 31 May 2021.  A further consultation was then undertaken from 28 June 2021 to 27 July 2021 on a ‘First Notification’ draft decision.

We received one comment on the initial consultation and five comments on the ‘First Notification’ draft decision.

We have now issued a ‘Final Notification’ which is our final decision on whether to object or consent to the removal of the payphone equipment at the 46 proposed locations across the city.
