Beacon Award: Better Public Places
 |
Sheffield was awarded beacon council status for its better public places during round 9 of the Beacon Scheme.
What is the Beacon Scheme?
The Beacon Scheme is a prestigious award scheme that recognises excellence in local government. You can find out more about this on the Beacon Scheme Website.
How did we gain beacon status?
We gained beacon status for its use of high quality and bold design in the public realm, the high level of maintenance within the city centre, and the focus on areas of higher deprivation demonstrates the transformation of public space in the town centre and beyond.
Our distinct approach to place management stems from:
- our physical identity as England’s greenest city
- our commitment to people and communities
- our ongoing commitment to innovation
Sheffield’s particular strengths include:
