We are a membership and user led organisation, run and controlled by disabled people. We promote independent living for disabled people in Sheffield. By independent living we mean that disabled people have the same freedom and rights to exercise choice and control over their own lives as any other person.
The new bus service will connect major transport stops and some of the locations cut off from public transport since the closure of Pinstone Street to traffic. We are hopeful that more disabled and other members of the public will be able to access the city centre. If you do have any issues or feedback then please do get in touch with us so we can share feedback with partner groups and the council.
