There are various elements, an abandoned railway station, a local artist group (Field art), a citywide cycle network, Sheffield city council, an idea about a linear nature reserve and a community that knows nothing about any of this. We have been asked to develop proposals for the building in order to support a funding application by the council. But outside this the live project could achieve more. The community is unaware of the cycle network that is on its doorstep. The building and the live project could begin to make this link. By working in three separate but interrelated teams (events, proposals and awareness) this link can be formed. The events team’s remit is to bring the community to the building and get the message out that Grange Lane actually exists. Proposals team will develop ideas about how the building could be used and will use the community events to gain feedback and ideas about what should be done with the site. The awareness team will concentrate on bringing the cycle network to the attention of the community. The diagram illustrates this way of working and shows the links each team is attempting to make. This is not set in stone and will change as the project goes on depending on how well each element works.
