This was a flagship green store for @marksandspencer when it opened on Ecclesall Road with this living wall a big part of that. What do you think of it now? And what does it say about the firm's commitment to sustainability?

I hear the traffic ban on Division St could be significantly expanded - from The Forum to Sainsbury's. One cafe in existing car free area has doubled takings, they tell me. What do you think?

@JimBell74265713 It is for safety reasons. There are still a small number of vehicles, those who live there and our own vehicles. With large numbers of cyclists we don't want an accident. Thanks.

I think the judge speaks as if this accident was unavoidable - only 4.28 seconds to react! - and his helmet comment is made without stating if Mr Lane died of a head injury (I'm told he didn't). It's a sadly car-centric view of life and death.

Hi @Veolia Sheffield, do you faithfully promise to restore the cobbles on Surrey Street after the latest works? It's one of our best but looking battered/vandalised due to other contractors apparently failing to carry out full restoration (3 pix).

Millhouses Park has two enormous car parks at either end. Could it spare a little land adjoining the side wall of a pub for 20 tables during a pandemic? Perhaps on a trial basis? Or could it be the thin end of the wedge of using parks for alternative uses?

It's not a multi-billion pound project like HS2, but this bike hub is significant in its own way. It's central to the hope more people will ride into the city centre because they know their bike will be safe. How long have we been waiting now?

Divsion Street can't decide what it is at the moment. Part peaceful and pedestrianised and part busy bus route. Is the bus thing temporary during HoC2? Surely it's time to traffic ban the whole street?
