and live on Freeview channel 276
An active neighbourhood is where changes are made to streets with the aim of creating a safer, cleaner and quieter environment for local residents and businesses to encourage more walking, cycling and spending time outdoors.
Six month trials are currently in action in Nether Edge and Crookes so below we take a look at all the affected streets.

Hide AdCouncillor Douglas Johnson, who until recently was the executive member of transport, said some of these have already been implemented and others will come later.
The council said after the six months there will be a review and decisions made on which elements will stay and which will be removed or changed.
Feedback on the scheme can be given to the council by emailing [email protected] or calling 0808 196 5105.
