THOUSANDS OF AFFORDABLE HOMES TO BE BUILT ACROSS SY

Thousands of new affordable homes will be available in South Yorkshire after funding was confirmed to clear sites, revamp estates and build new homes, offering more people the chance to have a high quality home in the region.

The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) has launched its 10 year Social and Affordable Homes Programme which includes South Yorkshire’s plan to deliver 9000 new affordable homes in South Yorkshire over the next five years.

For the first time, South Yorkshire’s Mayor Oliver Coppard, working with Homes England, will shape the course of

action for new affordable housing money in our region, setting out ambitious plans for the types of homes that get built and sites prioritised for construction and how many suitable bids for grant funding could come forward in each area.

The programme means homes are built in South Yorkshire where they’re needed most, designed around local priorities, and shaped by people who know their communities best.

The Social and Affordable Homes Programme (SAHP) will play a key role in the delivery of the 9,000 homes across Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield over the next five years, with an indicative fund

allocation from MHCLG of £700 million for South Yorkshire.

In addition, £12.3 million has also been confirmed for South Yorkshire in 2025/26 from the Government’s Brownfield Housing Fund. The Fund helps to overcome barriers to creating new housing developments on Brownfield sites.

South Yorkshire’s Mayor, Oliver Coppard, said: “This money from Government is game-changing for us; giving us the opportunity to clear hundreds of derelict sites and build thousands of homes.

“£700m will allow us to focus on helping to build social and affordable housing meaning we can offer everyone in our community a high-quality

home in South Yorkshire, so they can stay near and go far.”

Through the Social and Affordable Homes Programme, SYMCA will continue to work jointly with Homes England, the four local authorities, and the South Yorkshire Housing Partnership via its Strategic Place Partnership, to identify projects that can be supported by funding from the Programme –with the aim of helping tackle the need across South Yorkshire for more affordable housing. The Programme also aims to ensure 10% of the homes will be for supported or specialist housing to ensure vulnerable households, particularly those with

complex needs, can live independently.

SYMCA will encourage partners to bring forward proposals that help to regenerate existing estates, as well as assist the development of local construction and green skills, including apprenticeships.

SYMCA’s Brownfield Housing Fund has received a total of £65.3m since 2020, including the announcement of £12.3m, and is already on track to enable over 3800 new homes across South Yorkshire.

The funding has predominantly supported early infrastructure, site clearance, decontamination and installation of necessary utilities.

News, Information and Advice

new ev chargers installed

Sheffield residents without the ability to install an Electric Vehicle charge point on their property in several locations across the city now have the chance to do so within easy walking distance of their home.

Nine locations, at least one in each of the Local Committee areas, have been selected to have a brand-new EV charger installed to help make the switch to electric vehicles easier. Funded by Sheffield City Council, with support from the Government’s Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV), eleven new EV chargers have been installed across nine locations. This brings the council’s network to 90 charge points across the city for residents and visitors, complementing the hundreds of commercial chargers already available, for those making the switch to cleaner, zero-emission vehicles.

The new chargers make it easier for people in Sheffield to be able to own electric vehicles even if they don’t live in a property with a driveway or garage, leaving them unable to install a charger of their own at the moment.

The new chargers have been installed at the following locations: Bishopsholme Rd., Fir Vale Slate St., Lowfield / Heeley Balmoral Rd, Woodhouse Louth Rd., Greystones Flodden St., Crookes Upwood Rd., Hillsborough

Five additional chargers have also been installed in the following three car parks: Station Rd., Darnall Hope St., Stocksbridge Freedom Rd., Walkley

The new EV charge points have slotted into the wider network of rapid and fast chargers across the city and will go

a long way to increasing the ability for people in residential areas to charge their vehicles while they are out and about. Cllr Ben Miskell of Sheffield City Council said: “We have all seen the rise and rise in the appeal of owning and driving an electric vehicle in the past few years. The cars are getting more attractive to people in terms of their look but also price and range of driving they give you on one charge. However, for some, the lack of being able to have their own charge points has left them without the opportunity to do their bit to help the climate. We are determined to ensure electric vehicles are accessible to everyone. With these new on-street chargers, another barrier has been removed.

An improved EV charging network, as we are providing, also means fewer of the more polluting vehicles will be using our road network, that will also help to drive down the harmful pollution in our atmosphere and make Sheffield a cleaner, greener and more enjoyable place for people to work, live and enjoy. While we have made massive progress within the network and making it as easy as possible for everyone who needs them to use them, we’re not stopping there. We will be announcing the next round of EV chargers to be installed in the coming months as we drive to make Sheffield one of the most appealing places for people with electric vehicles to live and work in.”

“together we can” - nhs

The NHS is encouraging people to stay well this winter to look after themselves, their loved ones, and busy NHS services.

With colder weather comes increased health risks like nasty winter bugs and respiratory illnesses such as flu, RSV and COVID19. Loneliness also increases during winter, particularly in vulnerable communities such as older people or those with disabilities. They are asking everyone in the region to consider how they can make a difference this year, as it relaunches it’s together we can campaign. There are 5 key things the NHS is asking people in South Yorkshire to do this winter: keep warm, wash your hands, check in on each other, get vaccinated and choose the right service.

1. Get vaccinated It’s important to get your flu, COVID-19 and RSV vaccinations if you’re eligible. Getting vaccinated every year will top up your protection and reduce your risk of getting severe symptoms. Find out if you’re eligible and how to book your vaccinations on the NHS.uk website.

2. Choose the right service when you need help Choosing the right services for your ailment or illness helps to ensure emergency services are prioritised for those who need them most. If you’re unsure, NHS 111 online can help with urgent, non-emergency issues, including help with your dental care, mental health, and existing medical conditions. If you don’t have internet access, you can call 111. For most mild winter illnesses and ailments, you should get better at home using over the counter remedies such as cold and flu tablets, lots of fluids and plenty of rest. Pharmacists can also give advice without the need for an appointment if you have a minor illness or ailment.

3. Wash your hands Practicing good hand hygiene can also help to reduce the spread of viruses and prevent you and your loved ones from becoming unwell. Wash your hands regularly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

4. Keep warm Keeping warm over the winter months can help to prevent colds, flu and

more serious health problems. Your home should be heated to at least 18°C in the rooms you use regularly, such as your living room and bedroom. There are grants, benefits and advice available to make your home more energy efficient, improve your heating or help with bills. Find out more about ways to save energy in your home from GOV.UK, or call the government helpline on 0800 444 202. You can also find out more from GOV.

UK about benefits and financial support if you’re on a low income or get support if you need help with your energy bills.

5. Check in on each other Remember that other people, such as older neighbours, friends and family members, may need some extra help over the winter. There’s a lot you can do to help people who need support. Icy pavements and roads can be very slippery, and cold weather can stop people from going out. Keep in touch with your friends, neighbours and family and ask if they need any practical help, or if they’re feeling unwell. Make sure they’re stocked up with enough food supplies for a few days; in case they cannot go out. If they do need to go out in the cold, encourage them to wear shoes with a good grip and a scarf around the mouth to protect them from cold air, and to reduce their risk of chest infections.

By sticking to these 5 simple things, together we can protect each other and our NHS. Dr James Thomas, Medical Director said: “It’s really important that people look after themselves and anyone who is vulnerable during the winter months. Our aim throughout winter is to keep as many people as possible well at home and out of hospital. It’s the simple steps that really do make a difference in looking after our communities and our services over winter.”

golfers help support dogs

Golfers got to meet their club’s labrador-able namesake after raising thousands of pounds for the training of specialist assistance dogs. Abbeydale Golf Club raised more than £20,000 after hosting a number of fundraising events for Sheffield-based national charity, Support Dogs, which trains and provides assistance dogs to support autistic children, as well as adults affected by epilepsy or physical disability. The events included a hog roast, golf competition, raffle, auctions, social evenings featuring gin-tasting and a big “Am-Am” amateuramateur tournament with 25 teams. The club, which was founded in 1895 and has 550 members in the men’s section, 110 women and 60 child golfers, was rewarded for its epic fundraising efforts by having a trainee support dog – yellow Lab Abbey – named in its honour.

Andy Daykin, 20232024 men’s captain, Nikki Bishop, 2023-2024 ladies’ captain and Steve Silverwood from club sponsors ECA Business Energy met the pup and also had an exclusive tour of Support Dogs’ new headquarters at Elsworth House, on Herries Road South in Hillsborough. Andy said: “Abbeydale is a thriving and progressive golf club. Nikki and I are both delighted that we were able to raise sufficient funds during our Captaincy to sponsor a support dog, with much of the thanks going to the help of our members.

We were delighted to meet Abbey and will follow her progress as an assistance dog with interest.” He added: “We are really impressed with Support Dogs’ new centre – it’s going to be amazing. Support Dogs is one of the charities that is under-supported and we are delighted to have been able to help. If other golf clubs followed suit, it would really help the charity to thrive.”

Nikki said: “We were thrilled to meet Abbey – she’s beautiful. The new centre is going to be absolutely breath-taking. It’s only been since our captaincy that I’ve come to discover more about what this fantastic charity does to help people affected by autism, epilepsy and disability. The new centre opens up such potential to expand.”

Tess Thompson, community fundraising manager at Support Dogs, thanked Abbeydale Golf Club members for their generosity. She said: “We can’t thank the golfers enough for their efforts and we are delighted that Abbey serves as a testament to their hard work. Our charity receives no government funding and the support of golf clubs like Abbeydale is crucial to our success in helping vulnerable people to live more independently. We would welcome any other golf clubs to get in touch.”

supertram works complete

South Yorkshire’s Mayor Oliver Coppard has hailed the completion of a major programme of works which has seen £12.8m invested in the Supertram system over the past year. Rail replacement works over October half-term marked the final phase of a programme of investment delivered this year as part of South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority’s (SYMCA) commitment to invest over £110m by 2027. This includes upgrades to trams, track, control systems and power supplies alongside the construction of a new Tram Train station at Magna. A key part of this investment was essential rail replacement works, delivered by VolkerRail, which took place in phases between 29 March and 31 October to improve reliability, future-proof the system for years to come and extend the lifespan of our tram network. This year’s programme saw over 3.8km of rail replaced across the network, helping to ensure a safer, smoother and more reliable service for passengers.

Substantial progress has also been made on the construction of the Magna tram train station in Rotherham, which is due to open early next year. Oliver Coppard said: “I want a public transport system that works for us in South Yorkshire. One that connects our communities, powers our economy, and helps us build a greener, fairer future. Our investment in Supertram this year is a big step in that direction. By bringing Supertram under public control and by upgrading the network, we’re making sure our trams are reliable, safe, and fit for the future, so we can all get to where we need to be, when we want to be there. There’s still more to do, and we’re not stopping here. But every metre of track we replace, every improvement we make, brings us closer to creating the world class public transport network our region deserves.”

but found goalkeeper Ben Hamer in inspired form.

Reflecting, the boss commented: “I’m a bit frustrated because we’ve done enough, more than enough. We needed a clean sheet after the goals and the manner of them we’ve conceded, but I’ve said it before, the players are giving everything and the supporters recognised that.

“There is always going to be a bit of moaning and groaning, but the majority of the fans have seen us have a right go, we are lacking a bit of belief and confidence and that is what our position in the table equates too, it isn’t free flowing or smooth in the final third.

“They are a dangerous team with the pace at the top of the pitch, especially if you over commit, so we had to get the balance right and we went for the win, the stats back that up and if we don’t win, we can’t get beat.”

Wilder added: “I was looking towards the Kop for 90% of the second half, their goalkeeper has made a great save, we’ve hit the post and got into

so many good positions by playing decent football. We just need to be less frantic in those crucial moments.

“The period after half time has been problematic and we cut out the individual mistakes. There is something to work with and we left everything out there, the stats and my eyes will back that up.”

ResT, RegRouP and go again - PedeRsen

Henrik Pedersen says the coming days are vital for the players in terms of resting the legs as we approach a hectic spell in the calendar.

With a fixture-free weekend coming up and international action taking centre stage, the Owls squad will be using the break wisely.

A Monday training session will take place after which the squad will have some muchneeded respite before returning to Middlewood

Road to prepare for the Steel City derby.

After a busy threegame week that saw Wednesday draw with West Brom and Norwich before Saturday’s defeat at Southampton, Pedersen said:

“The important thing now for the players over the next days is rest.

“We have Monday training, Tuesday evening is the Under-21 game with Huddersfield and we will bring all the players who have not

played so much.

“There will be some resting days and we will have a good week when we come back and prepare for the United game.”

Full of praise for his squad, the gaffer continued:

“I think the mentality, fitness, commitment and togetherness is top.

“The boys never give up, they play with courage and even at 3-1 down on Saturday, there could have been another type

of reaction to what we had and it shows we have boys in this squad who are proud to play for our club.

“We have boys who will do anything for this club and there is a great togetherness with our fans.

“It’s tough but they have a great mentality, the Southampton game was our third in a week with more or less the same players and for them to play a second half like they did on Saturday,

big, big respect to them. “I have big respect for their fitness but we can only use their fitness if the mentality is top and it is for our boys.”

MCCann CaLLs FoR RoVeRs To BeCoMe MoRe sTReeTWise

Grant McCann insists Rovers need to become more streetwise in order to thrive in Sky Bet League One.

McCann felt Barnsley’s two goals, particularly Davis Keillor-Dunn’s match winner, could have been prevented at the start of the attacks, even if it meant committing fouls and taking bookings.

And he pointed to the fact that Barnsley themselves showed that ruthless edge during their 2-1 triumph at the Eco-Power Stadium.

“Their winner is so

James, Ar’Jany Martha, and Denzel Hall secured a comfortable win against the Imps.

Early on, Hall had a shot over the bar after George Wickens rushed out of his goal to challenge Shaun McWilliams.

James opened the scoring for Rotherham in the 10th minute, finding space 25 yards out and beating Wickens to his near post.

frustrating for us,”

McCann said. “The boys know Patrick Kelly because he was on loan with us last season. They know he’ll try to toe things around you, nutmeg you and get away in the middle of the park.

“He did that and we should just take the foul.

“It took us 94 minutes to get a yellow card. I don’t want the players to get booked but it was a Yorkshire derby and they had three or four booked when we’re breaking.

“These are things that we have to get better at.

“We make a bad decision where we should just take a foul in our half which would have stopped Kelly breaking, which then stops Keillor-Dunn getting to a position to shoot. He got 20 goals last season and he’s on ten already for this and we’ve just given him way too much time to get it onto his right foot and shoot.

“It shouldn’t get to that point. We should stop that at source.”

Despite his frustrations with the goals conceded, McCann felt Rovers should have taken

something from the game.

He said: “If we can continue that sort of play

and how we’re creating opportunities then we’ll have no issues climbing up this league.”

Rotherham’s

3-0

The home team doubled their lead in style in the 31st minute when Martha controlled Joe Powell’s corner on the edge of the box and fired into the top corner. Lincoln’s Rob Street looked to pull a goal back before halftime, but Cameron Dawson was there to save his effort.

Hall sealed the victory in the 59th minute, finishing from close range after the ball fell to him at the back post and slotting into the bottom corner.

In stoppage time, Martin Sherif nearly made it four, but his lobed attempt bounced just wide of the goal.
