In Summer 2021 Parks and Countryside consulted the local community about refurbishments to Rivelin Valley Playground. We asked firstly, how the two main play units should be replaced with the current funding, and secondly, what other improvements local people would like to see in the future when further funding becomes available.
Over 500 local people responded to the survey and told us how much they enjoy visiting Rivelin playground. You told us it needs uplifting and some of the equipment is old and tired. You would also like the playground to better cater for children with additional needs, both physical and sensory wise. Many famillies said they love the natural areas of the playground and asked that we make improvements for naturalistic play. We received many positive comments about the toddler unit and learned that families and carers visit Rivelin playground specifically for the under fives to use this equipment. We were asked if there was any way this unit could be upgraded kept.
We have listened to what respondents said about the toddler unit and have found a company that can re-paint the unit so it can be restored rather than replaced. The old and tired mid size junior unit will be replaced with a modern version offering older children opportunities to climb, swing and slide. https://www.sutcliffeplay.co.uk/equipment/the-four-towers/
We are adding equipment for children who are less mobile including a basket swing and inclusive swing seat. We are installing some better surfacing around the embankment slide and trim trail so that bad weather doesn't prevent use of the equipment. To future proof the playground, we are asking a Landscape Architect to design a vision of how the playground could look if additional funds become available. A big part of this will be to show how the natural elements of the playground could be enhanced and improved to achieve local people's ambitions for more naturalistic and free play. We will promote this vision/design when it's available in Summer 2022.
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 asked you what you thought about the proposals for new play facilities in Colley Park
25 people responded to the online survey with the majority supporting (voting very good or good) the proposals for the play equipment, mini bike and scooter track and parkour area. Seating and bins were important for respondents in all the areas proposed.
In the Parkour area, respondents favoured the steel and concrete parkour equipment. This was supported by consultation in secondary schools where pupils felt the steel and concrete equipment would be more robust and by consultation with the parkour community who felt the concrete and steel equipment was preferable when developing a parkour area.
We have finalised the plans following feedback from the online survey, consultation with local schools and the parkour community. The improvements will be:
The improvements are currently out to tender anticipated on site in October 2019. More information can be found in the Colley Park Play Facilities Consultation Feedback Report link
We asked for your feedback on our draft Equality Objectives for 2019-23. By law the Council is required to set at least one Equality Objective every 4 years and our current objectives ran until 2018. For 2019-23 we proposed that we set 4 objectives, each with a set of 3 more specific aims.
Over 180 people took part in the consultation and our equalities monitoring shows that we engaged with a diverse group of people. For example 18% of our respondents were from BAME groups (Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic), 9% described themselves as LGB+ and 20% were carers.
There was a lot of support for the 4 areas we have chosen to focus on, with 84% of people saying that the objectives focused on either “The Right Things” or “Most of the Right Things”.
We also received a wide range of feedback and comments and both the comments and our response are summarised in more detail in the full Consultation Report.
As a result of the consultation we have made some changes to our Equality Objectives 2019-23, including:
We will continue to reflect on your feedback as we deliver against our Equality Objectives and review our progress.
