"Safety is paramount": Barriers in place on Sheffield party street with plans to remove parking bays in 2025

Temporary barriers have been placed outside bars on a Sheffield city centre party street to improve safety by preventing people on nights out walking out into the street, a senior councillor has said.

Parking bays outside venues like Molly Malones and Tiger Works on West Street, Sheffield, meant space outside for revellers on foot was at a premium, with party-goers spilling out into the street - which is often busy with taxis, private hire cars and trams.

Councillor Minesh Parekh, deputy chair of the Waste and Street Scene Policy committee at Sheffield City Council, said: “Safety is paramount and this is why barriers have been installed outside night-time venues at this location on West Street.

“To improve safety, discussions between city transport colleagues, South Yorkshire Police and the council’s licensing team have resulted in the police placing barriers on the roadside of the parking bays to create a wider space for people to congregate outside venues.”

Shouldn't get flaming drunk , then they wouldn't wander out . 🤣. Not that I have ever done that when I used to go up West street  😇

Quite. And I have never been so drunk  that I fell asleep in the middle of the roundabout at the bottom of Granville Road either. 

Must have been someone who looked like me because I'm a good boy.
