1. Coun. Duff opened the meeting and welcomed everyone present.
2 . |---------- ( introduced the council officers present and explained the
two-fold purpose of the meeting.a) to make local people aware of the help available through the Task
Team.b) to discuss issues of local concern and a possible residents assoc.
3 # ~~| gave a brief explanation of the Task Team role and encouraged
any questions.
4. The ensuing discussion covered collective concerns about the late date of the meeting, the fact that so few people had turned up and lack of
councillors present.Main points of concern expressed were:-
Issues had been raised with the club since 1966 to no avail, and
this had made local people apathetic.
Fear of large crowds - suggestion not to use Leppings Lane entrance at all and better crowd control needed in general.
Urinating in gardens and passages - could the club provide portaloos
at Penistone Road and Catch Bar Lane.
Alcohol should be provided at the ground to avoid late arrival of
fans from pubs further away.
People should come before commercial intrests of the club.
5. It was agreed to organise another meeting in late September and invite the club, police, health and safety people and possibly Football Supporters Association members to this meeting.
It was also agreed that the officers and these reps, from the residents would meet to plan the September meeting in the near future.

| (opened the meeting by welcoming everyone and explainingche background to the meeting. The council officers then introduced them
selves.
The purpose of the meeting was:
1. For local residents to meet each other and the Hillsboraugh Task Team in an informal way.
2. To try and establish whether there were common problems and issues experienced by residents oi the Leppings Lane Triangle because of the fact they live so close to the
football ground.
To b e ^ to make plans for a public meeting in September/ October* to vmlch the club, polioe, health ahd saiety people etc., would be invited to acaress some d the laentulea
issues.
A lively discussion followed but eventually a number ot points were agreed
upon to be raised at the public meeting.
3. T
These points were: ,1. Away fans should not be cnanelled through the narrow streets
surrounding the ground, but should enter from Penistone Road and then round the outside of the ground and into the West Stand.
2. Semi-Finals should no longer be held at Sheffield Wednesday ground.
3. Both football clubs (Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United) move out of built up areas altogether and share a ground.
A. When matches do take place the barriers should bein place sooner, to prevent extra parking and fans walking through the side streets.
5t Residents should be provided with stickers for their cars., to enable free unhindered access in and out of their street/ residents only parking areas in the side streets.
Notes from Coffee-Evening 6.9*89 cont.
6. Stewards might man barriers in the street earlier in the dayand then be manned by the Police
7. Rubbish - thought by residents to be a major problem and "a number 0fsolutions were offered.
a) The club might sponsor large metal litter bins around the outside of the ground and surrounding streets.This may be extended to .sponsorship by pubs and shops.
b) The club should employ people to clear up immediately after the game.
c) Extra road sweepers should be brought'in by the Council after the match.
8. Toilets - again a significant problem. Residents queried the possibility of temporary toilets being brought in,although it was noted that there are no public toilets available for local residents anyway.
9. Parking - some suggestions have been mentioned (points 4 & 5) others were -
a) that more car parKing spaces are provided by the club,e.g. by purchasing the piece of ground in the trianglebetween Herries Rd. and Penistone Rd.
b) that fans are encouraged’to park on the outskirts, and then’be bussed in. (As for Christmas shopping).
c) Supertrain- residents were concerned that tne combined effect of the Supertram and extra people attending a match would have serious consequences on the Leppings Lane triangle.
It was agreed that the Council Officers would extend invitations on behalf of the residents to the police, including the community police the club, local councillors, and M.P., Health and Safety dept.Recreation dept, and Clive Betts/Howard Knight to attend the public meeting and to address residents concerns and suggestions. It was also agreed that the venue for the meeting should be Hillsborough School, Parkside Rd. This would be'booKed by council officers on benalf of residents.
[offered to help draw up a leaflet/poster advertising tne meeting. These leaflets/posters ana-Dien to be given to every resident of tne triangle and also placed in some local shops, post offices etc.
The date and time of the public meeting to be end Sept/ beginning October.

Apologies: • None
Councillor Jackson opened the meeting by welcoming those in attendance.She expressly thanked the people of Sheffield and those of the Hillsborougharea for the way they had responded on the 15th of April.
1.1 Councillor Jackson then introduced the Platform group and asked forupdates on the start of the football season from the Police,Sheffield Wednesday F.C. and the Local Authority.
1.2 Superintendent Sleath explained that letters have gone to all local residents from the Police. These letters thank people for their assistance and explained the plans that have been put into effect by them following the publication of Lord Justice Taylor's Interim Report. The Police are still determining strategies for dealing with large numbers of fails without tickets. They have also seDarated home and away fans for the first few matches and so home fans have been diverted away from LepDings Lane. SuDerintendent Sleath reported to the meeting that notices had gone out to all Police officers, instructing them not to park in streets near to the ground. Alternative parking was made available on South Yorkshire Passenger Transport land nearby. Stewards had also been offeredthis facility.
1.3 Mr Mackrell then thanked the residents for their support during wnat was an especially difficult time for the club. He told the meeting that the Sheffield Wednesday F.C. was very conscious of their part in tne community. In relation to parking, Sheffield Wednesday F.C. were making available space at Middlewood Road for use by stewards. The terraces at Leppings Lane are unlikely to be

Traders Association, Sheffield Wednesday F.C. and the Local Authority combine to provide more litter bins and street cleaning services.
2.5 Arrangements for the Match on,. 29th November
Mr Mackrell acknowledged this would be an emotional match for everyone concerned. 4,000 tickets have been allocated to the Liverpool fans. There will be publicity encouraging people to be there as early as possible and explaining to them the plans for that day. This publicity would be done in conjunction with Liverpool F.C. , the Police and Sheffield Wednesday F.C.
3. Any Other Business
3.1 Noise
A resident from Vere Road complained about the level of noise of records and music coming from the gynmasium. Mr Mackrell agreed to have this matter investigated and will discuss this with his sports hall Manager. He was aware that there were also technical problems with the P.A. system. >
3.2 Councillors' Surgery
Councillor George Matthews offered to re-start his councillor's surgery at Eskdale Community Centre as an ongoing way of addressing some of the community's concerns.
3.3 Future Meetings
It was unanimously agreed that the meeting had been of great value and that similar meetings should be held in the future. Mr Mackrell offered the residents the use of the Riverside Suite at Sheffield Wednesday F.C. as the venue for their next meeting early in the New Year. Mr Mackrell, Councillor Jackson, and Superintendent Sleath all agreed to attend. Superintendent Sleath reported that he would like residents to contact him at any time if they have complaints about policing in the area.
Councillor Jackson closed the meeting at Q.00 p.m., thanked all those present for attending and the Hillsborough Task Team for assisting residents
to arrange this meeting.

re-opened this season and this matter is being actively discussed with the Police and other interested parties.
1.4 David Blunkett, M.P., and Frances Woodhead then commented that theywere mainly in attendance to listen to local people's views andcomments.
Discussion-then centred around Agenda items.
2.1 Barriers/Access
A variety of points were raised from the floor. The feeling of the meeting was that the barriers were wanted by residents and that they should be put in place earlier than at present. In response to this, Superintendent Sleath stated that the barriers would be in place from midday onwards. They would be policed by Special Constables from 12 until the regular police came on duty. The barriers would continue to be policed while the match was on and until the end of the game.
2.2 Portable Toilets
There were a number of comments from the floor on the extent and nature of the problem which has led them to request more toilet facilities for spectators. Mr Mackrell stated that he would take this matter up with the Local Authority. It was agreed that the siting of such temporary porta-loos or permanent brick toilets would be a matter for further discussion and needed to be taken up with Health and Consumer Services. Councillor George Matthews suggested that the cost of'these facilities should be met by the Sheffield Wednesday F.C.
2.3 Street Access
Residents highlighted various difficulties and problems experienced by them when gaining access to their homes once the barriers were in place. Various suggestions to remedy the matter were put forward, such as residents parking and/or stickers. The Police response was that these solutions may be inappropriate as enforcement of such measures could be a problem. It was agreed that Police and residents would monitor the situation further now that the barriers were to be in place earlier. Superintendent Sleath stated that any residents who had particular problems about access to their street or felt they had been dealt with in an unsympathetic way by Police officers, should take the officer's number and contact him at Hammerton Road Police Station. He would then ensure that the matter was investigated and dealt with.
2.4 Litter
The feeling of the meeting was that litter was a great problem andthat it should be the responsibility of Sheffield Wednesday F.C. and the Local Authority to deal with this matter. Mr Mackrell made the point that other local businesses, as well as the Sheffield Wednesday F.C. benefittedfrom the influx of supporters and that litter was often generated from items purchased in these snops or from take-awavs. The suggestion was then put forward that the Local

PW, RMcS, AR
HISTORY
1st Public Meeting
Eskdale Community Centre, 2.8.89. Chairperson Peter Duff. Poorly attended, all notices not given out.
2nd Public Meeting
Eskdale Community Centre, 10.10.80. Very well attended 80+ people approximately. Local M.P., Councillors, Police, Sheffield Council and Sheffield Wednesday F.C. present.
3rd Public Meeting
Proposed 23rd January, 1990 to be held at the Riverside Suite, Sheffield Wednesday ground.
BACKGROUND
The organisation of the meetings and the involvement of local, known community minded residents was prompted by F & CS Community work Principal and the Hillsborough Task Team.
ISSUES
Detailed in the minutes of the meeting 10.10.89 (attached).
INVOLVEMENT OF THE LOCAL COMMUNITY
Five local community residents involved directly in undertaking tasks, between ten and twelve residents at various times have come to meetings to help formulate tasks and make decisions. The residents did not wish to form themselves into a residents' association and their focus has been on the setting up of the public meetings and pursuing the issues that were raised at them.
Informally, much support has been given to the various participants in helping them overcome difficulties that they experienced as a result of being involved in the events of the 15th. Task Team members have no undue worries regarding the longer term mental health of these residents as a result of their experiences on the 15th. The group, in tackling the issues raised at the public meetings, do lack confidence and see the support of the Task Team as being essential in unlocking various doors and gettings things done. A large amount of effort has gone into supporting this group generally and as individuals. Attempts have been made already and will continue to help the group identify its own strengths, take on tasks itself and formulate a plan for its own future.
2
CONCLUSION
The group has been given support by the Task Team and has known this support would be limited by the "life" of the Task Team. The residents have not yet completed the tasks that were taken on following the meeting of the 10.10.89, and have not formulated a plan for their future or discovered other sources of support. These three tasks remain the specific ones required to either bring the group to a conslusion or secure the group other support, with a longer plan for its future.It must be accepted that as the effects of the Hillsborough disaster recede the Task Team still has a role in attempting to bring the activities of this group to a satisfactory conclusion.

Introduction
Thank you for volunteering your services for the evening and coming to this briefing meeting. This hand-out is intended to serve as a general guide for the arrangements and work that may take place on the 29th.
Background
A large crowd is expected to attend the game and there will be a substantial number of S.Y'. Police, ground staff and stewards employed. There will also be ambulance staff. A crowd of approximately 25,000 is expected. Of these, 4,000 will be Liverpool supporters. This is the number of tickets that have been issued to Liverpool. Contingency plans exist should more than th^s number arrive at the ground. Sheffield Wednesday supporters will enter{ the ground from the Penistone Road turnstiles. Liverpool fans will be brought down Leppings Lane, either on foot or in coaches; these will deposit the fans in the road-space opposite the Leppings Lane gates. The coaches will then drive off to park on Halifax Road., At the end of the match, the Liverpool fans will be escorted back to the waiting coaches.
Within the Ground
Sheffield Wednesday fans will occupy the Kop, South and North Stands.Liverpool fans will occupy the West Stand, above the Leppings Lane terraces. This seated area is reached by stairs at either end of the West Stand - see plan of the ground.
Tasks
For many reasons, it is difficult to predict with real certainty the amount of work that will need to be done or give real definition to the tasks that social workers might be required to perform. However, the evocative and emotional nature of the event, because of the various reminders, will cause some people distress which they may not be able to manage unassisted. Staff involved will have to make a judgement about when it is appropriate to intervene when they themselves are observing a group or individual. A request for assistance may come from other sources; the Police or a steward may have seen or have had contact with someone who needs help. Situations such as these will be passed to the social workers who are available.
Flowers and Wreaths
The present Safety Certificate for the ground does not cover the Leppings Lane terraces. People who wish to lay flowers on the terrace on the evening will not be allowed to do so. Arrangements are being made for trestle tables to be laid at the rear of the West Stand on which flowers can be laid. These flowers will be placed on the terrace at the end of the match and later taken to the memorial at the junction of Wadsley Lane and Middlewood Road. A small hand-out has been prepared, to be given to anyone who brings flowers, explaining what will happen to any flowers that are left. Social workers will be situated at the trestle tables and will need to explain to supporters what the situation is and assist anyone who is seriously distressed. It is anticipated that in this role and situation
social workers may be most needed.
2
Further Referral
When social workers have contact with a distressed supporter it may be appropriate to ask if the person would give their name and address so
they can be offered help in the area in which they live.
Eskdale Community Centre
Eskdale Community Centre is available as a base for workers who are being held in reserve and as a place where distressed people can be taken if they So noJ wish to remain in the ground or leave with friends. If spectators do leave the ground, they will need to have retained their tickets in order to be able to return. The transfer of distressed spectators to Eskdale nerhaps should only be considered as a last resort as it may detach P ^ P 1® from the group ?hej came to the ground with. Refreshments will be available
at the Centre.
Access to the Centre will be through a barrier on Leppings Lane which will be opened by a Police Officer who has been briefed to allow escorted fans
through.
Co-ordination
Named officers from the Police and F & CS will act as co-ordinators of the evening's services. The Police and ground staff will be briefed as to the role of social workers. The Police do not see it as part of their role comfort anyone seriously distressed and will therefore request assistance
should this occur.
Security of Staff
Thi«? area has been given consideration and it is not part of our role to be involved in crowd control or be at risk should such a situation be identified. As the evening progresses, the reaction of the crowd wil monitored and if it appears that staff are at risk then services will have
to be withdrawn.
