1. Sheffield City Centre
Residents’ Action Group - SCCRAG
• What SCCRAG might do as it develops:
• Areas to consider?
• Four categories?
– Appearance;
– Health & Lifestyle;
– Safety & Crime;
– Amenities;

2. 1. ‘Appearance’: Smart Sheffield ….

3. Or Shabby Sheffield …?

4. City Centre: Many Delightful Areas

5. But the heavily used areas
are shabby round the edges

6. The ‘Shabby Sheffield’ problem
is all around us

7. Litter Bins get removed and not replaced
Glossop Road: When road re-
alignment took place for the
Tram Gate, litter bins were
removed … and never replaced

8. But street Junk doesn’t get removed!

9. Some areas become dumping grounds

10. Bins are left on the pavement

11. Some bins are left open
for the wind to blow everywhere

12. Some Bins need more
TLC

13. And then there’s Graffiti -

14. Could we green our open spaces?

15. ‘Smart Sheffield’ - it can be done….

16. Do you think we have a Scruffy City Centre?
• Do you think it should be improved?
• Or do you think it’s all we can expect?

17. Can we Clean Up?
• Gold Route good, so how do we hit that
standard everywhere?
• Clean, tidy, litter free, no overflowing
bins, smart appearance & paintwork?
• Retailers clean up outside their premises?
• Fast Food outlets to clean their pavements?
• Pubs keep cigarette ends from their frontages?
• Steam clean the worst areas of pavement &
round litter bins?

18. How will we Clean Up?
• Remove graffiti as soon as possible?
• Paint street furniture that looks shabby?
• Commercial rubbish bins not left out with tops
open, or on pavement?
• Can we get all of these people to take pride in our
city?
• What can we do to achieve this? How do we set the
scene?
• Do they assume it’s the City Council’s responsibility?
• How do we deal with that?
• IS THIS SOMETHING SCCRAG SHOULD BE
ENCOURAGING?
