Walking and Cycling

A substantial section of the Five Weirs Walk along the River Don has been closed since flooding in 2019, but the Council say they don’t yet have the money to fix it.

The Travelling Light project aims to boost the use of e-bikes and create a transport hub in the Peak District.

A consultation is now open on proposals to create a high-quality cycle route between Meersbrook and the city centre – with a potential extension to Totley in the future.

The Council is inviting citizens to shape plans for "cleaner, safer and quieter" neighbourhoods through walking and cycling improvements following a government grant.

New proposals could make walking and cycling easier, create more green space and speed up journey times for bus users.

The Sheaf and Porter Rivers Trust says a new planning application must extend public access to Porter Brook.
