A proactive cross-party approach to the Council’s financial sustainability will be taken to manage the challenging budget situation which Sheffield City Council, like many other local authorities, faces.
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’s city centre is undergoing an exciting transformation. With improvements on Fargate nearing completion, the Heart of the City thriving and progress on the new city centre park at Castlegate, there are lots of reasons to celebrate Sheffield.
Proactive steps are being taken to ensure the Council remains able to set out a balanced budget in the long-term, including transforming services to run in a more sustainable and efficient way.
A project aimed at providing more space for people, allowing businesses to expand and for people to shop, eat and spend more time in Sheffield City Centre has been given a major investment boost.
The ability to safely and securely store your bike no matter where you live in Sheffield is set to get even easier with more cycle hangars due to be rolled out in 2025.
Plans to transform how people get to and from the city centre from Attercliffe and Darnall has been given a funding boost following the allocation of £23.68m from South Yorkshire’s Mayor.
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.
