Tramlines Festival: The wider benefits

An outdoor event’s relationship with its local authority ranks high among the elements crucial to success. Following on from Timm Cleasby, director of operations at Tramlines, this episode is about Sheffield City Councillor Richard Williams’ take on the festival.   Focused on the city’s green spaces, Richard talks host James Dickson through Sheffield’s new long-term agreement with Tramlines’ organisers, which is set to keep the event in its Hillsborough Park home long-term.   Richard discusses planning, the spoils of the festival for local businesses and the local community.   Reaction, weather, safety, transport and the greater Tramlines’ picture - it’s all here.     To keep up to date with all the news, subscribe for free here.
