In a first person piece, Sheffield City Council Leader Cllr Tom Hunt speaks about the Council signing up to be part of the International Mayors Council on Homelessness, and the benefits this will bring Sheffield.
Over the past 13 years, Sheffield, along with many other local authorities, has seen significant reductions in funding from central government. Alongside this, demand for services is rising.
Sheffield residents looking for home improvement services online should be vigilant and check the credibility of businesses before handing over any money, so they don’t become victims of rogue traders.
To support people with increasing living costs, the council set up a package of support last year to help anyone in the city who is facing financial hardship.
Sheffield City Council will provide an update on its financial position and reaffirm its commitment to ensure a stable and sustainable authority that delivers for the city and its residents, in a report being presented to the Strategy and Resources Committee on 10 July 2025.
Many more privately owned or privately rented Sheffield households can benefit from a warm home that can be cheaper to run, following a change to eligibility rules for the Home Upgrade Grant.
