Alan Yearsley
Green Party candidate for Birley
I have lived in Frecheville since 2003. I work as a news and features writer for a railway magazine publisher in Sheffield. I‘m concerned about noise and pollution from traffic, cuts to bus services, lack of adequate facilities for cyclists, lack of affordable housing and Sheffield’s poor record on recycling compared to many other councils. I want better use of community assets such as Birley Spa Bath House and the recently closed St Cyprian's church.
