A quick guide to local democracy in Sheffield

There are so many ways you can get involved with your local council. This video explains how decisions are made and the various ways you can take part.
As Council Leader Cllr Terry Fox said: “We want to make it as easy as possible for Sheffielders to get involved in local democracy - something we should never take for granted.
“We want to be as open and up-front as possible, to encourage everyone to think about how they can be involved with the Council - whether that’s coming to meetings, talking with your councillors, asking us questions, holding us to account - or even finding out about standing in an election yourself."
“It’s your council, it’s here for all of us, and we want everyone in Sheffield to feel they can get involved in helping make the city we love an even better place to live, work, study and do business.”
