     A day of action to clean up graffiti at Sheffield Station Supertram stop is taking place today .

     The graffiti isn't just unsightly, it's a source of danger too according to Network Rail:

    It attracts people to the railway and that's a massive safety concern for us. If they see a piece of wall, whether that's under a bridge or next to a station, and they think that's an attractive place to hang out and spray graffiti it can be really dangerous. There are trains running right through the day and through the night and we obviously don't want people to get hurt so it's really important that people don't grafitti especially near the railway

  6. 'Garish' Union Flag shop front: Your views

    The shop owner says the design on the front of his cake shop opposite Devonshire Green in Sheffield is an "act of national pride" but the Council's ordering him to take it down.

    Shop front

    You can't just paint a grade 2 listed building and it's totally irrelevant what you paint on it that isn't the point! "

    Paul Scott

    I remember the barber opposite my house painting his shop bright orange, it looked monstrous and we had to look at it all day, every day. More decorum please. I'm guessing he wants his cake shop to stand out from the crowd and to get people talking. He's certainly got lots of free publicity out of this 😃"

    Alison Wells

    I remember when they did this and I was just baffled, it's so garish. This isn't America, we don't need our flag shoved in our face everywhere."

    Michael Short

    If you cant paint new things like that how come on Abbeydale Road we have a insurance claims shop with flashing leds and a gold covered taxi on top!!

    Building work has halted on Mexborough's Shimmer estate where building has been halted due to uncertainty caused by HS2.

    Builders pallets piled up outside newly built homes

    Those living here on the Shimmer estate had a letter through the door from the developers Strata.

    The company explain that they've had two meetings with the Department for Transport and HS2. Strata say as discussions are ongoing they've taken the decision to temporarily halt all work on the site. 

    It means more uncertainty for residents like Aime Webster:

    this time six weeks ago it was loud and people were everywhere, now it's like there's been an apocalypse."

  11. Nazi bomb threat at Rotherham mosque

    Andy Kershaw
    BBC Radio Sheffield News

    South Yorkshire police are investigating a bomb threat that has been sent to a Rotherham Mosque.

    The letter to Jamia Mosque on Russell Street, in Eastwood, was addressed to "Muslim scum" and was signed off using a well known neo-nazi code.   

    The threat raises race-hatred to new levels in Rotherham

    It's quite frightening because there are mosques that have been nail bombed and received a number of threats and there are far right organisations that have been tresspassing and terrorising at some mosques.
