But once the party had ended workers from council contractors AMEY’s street cleaning team faced a huge clean-up operation. 

Staff worked through the night to ensure it was business as usual for Sheffielders waking up and going about their business again on the Wednesday morning. 

In a letter to the team, Julie Dore commended those who had “worked relentlessly behind the scenes” and expressed her appreciation for the clean-up operation which enabled us “all to enjoy a clean and tidy city centre once again.”  

Coun Dore went on to say how these high standards of service demonstrate the city’s ability to continue hosting these important and memorable events.
