About North LAC
The North Local Area Committee covers the wards of East Ecclesfield, Stannington, Stocksbridge & Upper Don and West Ecclesfield.
The North is a very large area, which includes many neighbourhoods (including Bradfield, Burncross, Chapeltown, Deepcar and Stocksbridge, Ecclesfield, Grenoside, High Green, Loxley, Oughtibridge, Parsons Cross, Stannington, Wharncliffe Side) as well as large areas of countryside including a number of smaller rural communities.
The North contains many historic communities, which played a major role in Sheffield’s industrial heritage. The area contains two Parish Councils (Bradfield and Ecclesfield) and a Town Council in Stocksbridge and has a large and diverse range of active community groups.
“I am proud, honoured and grateful to have been given the opportunity to serve my wider Sheffield City Council communities of High Green, Burncross and Grenoside and Sheffield as a City Councillor for over 9 years.
As a past chair of the North Area Panel and the North Area Community Assembly I am looking forward to the new challenges of devolved decision making. LACs give local councillors exciting and meaningful opportunities to engage with the neighbourhoods and will enable our communities in the North of Sheffield to have their say!
Outside of being a councillor, I am known locally as the “soup man” because of the Monday Café we run at Grenoside Reading Room. Besides that, grandparenting duties, crown green bowling, and supporting the Blades along with many other local activities ensure that I am kept busy outside office hours.”
Vice Chair: Councillor Vickie Priestly
“I was elected in 2000 for Walkley for 2 years, then re-elected for Stannington. I have served on many boards during my time as a Councillor. I also served as Lord Mayor in 2013/2014.
I currently serve on Licensing and Appeals, and Disputes. I am a substitute member of the Planning Committee.
I value community and look forward to helping the people in my Ward. Outside of work, I teach Sugar Craft part time and help my family and community.“
