Chair: Councillor Garry Weatherall
“I have served on the Council now for twenty years and have plenty of experience to share. I’m passionate about the things I do and a desire to help and work with others and I care about the people I serve. I look forward to working with local people and groups to decide how services can be provided to meet their needs.
My parents (particularly my mother) were both community activists and I was exposed to local issues, tensions, and benefits from a very early age. With such a strong grounding, I developed my own interest, passion and enthusiasm for both community and politics. Outside of being a councillor I serve as trustee on a local ‘church based’ charity within the area as well as a trustee on the Sheffield Church Burgesses Educational Charity.”
