Mayor's Vision Zero Plan for Safer Streets | Sheffield News

South Yorkshire’s mayor, Oliver Coppard, is launching a bold “Vision Zero” campaign to make the region the safest place in the UK for kids to walk, bike, or scooter — targeting zero road deaths or serious injuries. Facing challenges like rural roads and insufficient speed enforcement, his team is rolling out neighborhood-focused safety measures, including more zebra crossings near schools. He’s also tackling rising shoplifting with a renewed police push, citing a pharmacy theft as a troubling example of law-breaking without consequence. Public transport is getting a boost too: a two-dollar bus fare cap is being considered for trams, and electric buses will roll out next September. Finally, Coppard is addressing anti-social behavior in Hillsborough Park, pledging stronger police action while showing empathy for those affected.
