Friday evening 10 February 2023 a set of Car Keys was found in the middle of the road at the junction of Coldwell Lane & Moorbank Road.
As there are other keys attached to the keyring we’re sure the owner would like them back.

Minesh Parekh, Councillor for Crookes and Crosspool, has been shortlisted for the best ‘Locally Elected Leader Award’ in the national Green Heart Hero Awards.
The Green Heart Hero Awards are organised by The Climate Coalition, the UK’s largest climate organisation. The Climate Coalition is a group of over 140 organisations—including the National Trust, Women’s Institute, Oxfam and RSPB—who together represent over 22 million people across the UK.
These prestigious awards are an opportunity for constituents to shine a spotlight on the extraordinary actions individuals, communities and organisations are taking to create a cleaner, greener world.
Cllr Parekh was one of four Councillors to be shortlisted for the award, alongside Liberal Democrat Councillor Pippa Heylings of South Cambridgeshire, Edinburgh Scottish National Party Councillor Adam McVey; and Donna Stimson, Conservative Councillor in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead. Parekh was the only Labour Councillor to make the shortlist for the national award.
He was shortlisted for his work on Sheffield City Council, including successfully proposing a Community Wealth Building Charter for the city, proposing amendments to unpick procurement barriers faced by co-operative and community energy providers, and in taking an international approach to climate justice, writing for the Ecologist about the need for climate reparations to be paid to Pakistan.
Parekh said:
“It’s an honour to have been nominated for a Green Heart Hero Award, let alone shortlisted. I stood for election as a climate activist, committed to Labour’s Green New Deal, wanting to do everything possible I can to tackle the climate crisis. To me that means recognising that climate justice is inseparable from social and economic justice; the only solutions are those that also end inequality.
“I’m particularly proud in my work alongside Sheffield’s Labour Councillors in delivering Community Wealth Building policies—redirecting wealth back into Sheffield’s economy, and giving priority to local and sustainable businesses—has been championed by the residents that nominated me, as I think this is the best weapon local authorities have in our arsenal to build a greener, fairer future.”
Cllr Terry Fox, Leader of Sheffield City Council, added:
“Minesh has made a flying start as a Councillor since being elected last May.
“He has worked hard to put Sheffield Labour’s Local Election Manifesto into action – with the climate crisis at the top of the political agenda, and in a way that centres workers’ voices and focuses on tackling inequality, and it’s great to see this being recognised through the Green Heart Hero Awards.”
Elected to be the voice of the people, hold the Chief Constable and the Force to account, and make the police answerable to the communities they serve, The Police and Crime Commissioner has launched a new public feedback initiative and is keen for people to send in questions to him or the Chief Constable at his Public Accountability Board Meetings.

Householders who own unregistered appliances could be putting themselves and their loved ones at risk of serious injury and death, warns leading accident prevention charity, the Royal Society of Accident Prevention and the Association of Manufacturers of Domestic Appliances.
The alert comes during Register My Appliance Week which runs from the 23rd to the 27th of January. By registering a domestic appliance with the manufacturer, people can be informed of any recalls or safety issues as quickly as possible and reduce the risk of tragic incidents like fires and explosions.
To register your device, visit www.registermyappliance.org.uk.
Ashleigh Martin, Public Health Advisor at the Royal Society of the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA):
“With such busy lives, it’s only natural not to have domestic safety at the top of our to-do lists. But a simple action like registering your appliance as soon as you’ve purchased it can help prevent against unnecessary tragedies. By registering your appliances in a timely manner, you can be among the first to hear when there is a potentially life-saving product recall.”
AMDEA CEO Paul Hide, said: “We urge anyone with unregistered appliances – whether brand-new, a pre-used buy or installed a while ago – to register all their appliances so they can be contacted in case of any safety notifications, repairs or recalls. Most manufacturers accept registrations of machines up to 12 years old, and there’s no need for proof of purchase. It’s completely free and easy to do – it’s a win-win for keeping your home safe and possibly increasing the life span of your machine.”
Royal Mail is looking to permanently close its long-established Tapton Hill Road enquiry office from February 2023.
If implemented, customers will no longer have the convenience of picking up undelivered post and parcels locally.
