A vision for the next 10 years

Politicians and city leaders are meeting tomorrow to debate Sheffield’s future:

The Sheffield First Partnership Leadership Summit will take place on 3rd September at the city centre St Paul’s Mercure Hotel, and will be attended by a coalition government minister, Council Leader Paul Scriven and Chief Executive of Sheffield City Council, John Mothersole, and the Rt Hon David Blunkett MP.

A broad reaching public consultation undertaken earlier this year revealed how the people of Sheffield viewed their city and will directly inform the debate to determine the 2010-20 city strategy.

Early research into the findings suggests that improving public transport, the positive cultural diversity, maintaining the ‘green city’ reputation and continuing the ongoing regeneration are among the recurring topics and these will be the among the issues that will be discussed.

Does anyone remember taking part in the consultation?

It’ll be interesting to see what they’ve got in store for Sheffield and find out what the priorities are for improving the city over the next decade.
