The bend of Crookes Road next to The Grindstone pub has been identified as dangerous for cyclists by a campaign to make Sheffield’s roads safer. Space for Cycling named the pinch point created by road narrowing by the pub as the main issue in Crookes ward. Improvements for Fulwood ward were also highlighted. Organiser Cycle Sheffield is asking all local council election candidates to pledge to support specific cycle improvements in all 28 wards in Sheffield. A Space for Cycling ride on Saturday saw hundreds of people, including children and families ride through the streets of Sheffield to call for a more cycle-friendly city.

I am signed up to the princliples of Space for Cycling, as is Councillor Anne Murphy. We have agreed to look into the specific issue of the bend in Crookes Road by the Grindstone to see what is feasible.
