Information about Sheffield’s new Local Area Committees (LACs) is being sent to every household in the city this week.

Following the impact of Covid-19 on essential services, we are preparing now for a very challenging budget position in 2022/23.  

The Local Area Committees have launched a citywide survey to discover more about what residents think and feel locally.

The Council will be hearing from local communities over the coming months to shape how the LACs will work and there will be a range of opportunities for people to share their views, recognising that people want to get involved in different ways.

A call for expressions of interest has been made to run an arts-led project with the aim to enhance Sheffield City Archive’s collection of black history content, with a focus on the collection of Windrush Generation memories
