Sheffield Parkway re-opened as Police continue negotiations with allegedly armed man

Roads have reopened in Sheffield city centre as police continue negotiations with an allegedly armed man.

Police say The Parkway is open now in both directions today.

The South Yorkshire force say:

"The Sheffield Parkway has re-opened in both directions and public transport has resumed as normal.

"Our officers remain on scene at an incident in Broad Street in Sheffield, but we are now in a position to reduce the cordon to our work and re-open major roads.

"Displaced residents remain evacuated and are still unable to return to their properties.

"Although roads have re-opened, our work to negotiate with the man continues.

"Officers continue to work with residents to ensure that any pets within the building are cared for and reunited where possible.

"We continue to thank you for your on-going support and co-operation during this challenging time."
