Report written by Sheffield runner
We met a couple of wonderful Sustrans volunteers who work tirelessly to keep the national network accessible and pleasant for walking, wheeling and cycling. They brought us the tools and the plan.
We were working on a particularly grotty underpass which is part of the 627 route. It is a short section that goes under the Parkway and links Broad Street near Park Square to Victoria Quays. It was such a mess.
Quite a few walkers, runners and cyclists were using it despite the litter and vegetation lining the route. And evidently people use the area for parking in the day.
We got to work sweeping, litter picking and cutting back some vegetation to make it clear. Very satisfying! We could really see the difference.
A journalist from ITV met us to cover the story for the telly. See the story on ITV on 26th February at 6pm. or catch it on ITV catchup for 24 hours after that.
Back to the Showroom for drinks and snacks.
Thanks everyone for coming and for Sustrans who made this happen and joined us on a relatively chilly Monday night.
Walk Wheel Cycle Trust is the new name for Sustrans, and they've been making it possible for everyone to walk, wheel and cycle since 1977. Uniting under a new name and a renewed mission to deliver more joy per journey, more peace per pedal, more smiles per mile.
