Sheffield City Council (SCC) has held a consultation to gather comments on plans to enhance an area of green space in the heart of the South Yorkshire city.

Residents in the St Vincent's quarter were asked to give views on efforts to increase the size of the space between Edward Street and Upper Allen Street. Plans include the remodelling of the existing ball games area as a multi-purpose arena with sitting walls and terraces; the creation of a new artificial grass surface and new public art.

Electrical supplies to help support community entertainment and events is also being mooted as part of the scheme, which is expected to get underway in 2010-11.
