The creation of more people-friendly, prosperous streets in Sheffield city centre is due to get underway, helping to bring in a more open, attractive and spacious area for people to relax, enjoy and spend time in.
Since March this year (2024), Sheffield City Council has been working alongside the largest council landlords in England to develop recommendations that can ‘secure the future of England’s council housing’.
Sheffield could play host to more major events and events that have a greater impact on the city and its residents, if plans are approved to develop a new city-wide events strategy.
Economic growth, attracting international investment and boosting Sheffield’s visitor economy are all to be prioritised in new plans for international engagement.
Simple, affordable fares, reliable bus journeys, easy and safe routes to walk or wheel to schools, shops, and local facilities, and tackling congestion are just some of items that form Sheffield’s Transport Vision for the next two decades.
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 Council’s new administration has been formally announced today, with a collaboration between Labour, the Liberal Democrats and the Green Party.
