Sheffield has scooped two prestigious national awards for its public spaces.
The Gold Route, which begins at Sheffield Station, was awarded both a Civic Trust Award as well as an additional Special Award for Streetscape for the city centre’s amazing collection of public spaces.
The Civic Trust Awards are regarded as the most prestigious awards for architecture and design. The aim of the awards, now in their 49th year, is to promote the quality and appearance of local environments.
Sheffield’s Gold Route won the ‘Streets Award’, one of only nine special awards given out at the ceremony.

South Yorkshire police officers will be starring alongside cartoon characters in a spine tingling film aimed at promoting Internet safety. The film is part of a package designed for schoolchildren and has been commissioned by the South Yorkshire Police Community Safety Department. Research shows that over 41% of eight to 11-year-olds regularly use the Internet and seven per cent of ten-year-olds have their own web cameras. The campaign is intended to raise youngsters' awareness of the dangers lurking on the Internet. During the first phase PCSOs will distribute leaflets to every Year-6 child in South Yorkshire. Under the Adopt a School scheme, all PCSOs have links to a local junior school.
