Pothole repairs and cleaner streets promised as Sheffield Council sets out new priorities
Sheffield city council has revealed their new two-year plan
Fixing potholes, creating cleaner neighbourhoods and making it easier for people to access council services are at the heart of Sheffield City Council's new plan for the next two years.
The council has published its new Strategic Business Plan, which sets out the work it wants to prioritise between now and 2028.
The document acts as a roadmap for the council, outlining where it plans to spend its time and resources and what it wants to achieve for residents.
The plan, which will be considered by councillors today (Thursday, July 16), has been updated following feedback from residents about the issues that matter most to them.
The plan includes a new Neighbourhood Guarantee, which will set clear expectations for the standard of local services residents should receive, including cleaner streets, repaired potholes and other everyday services.
Investment in housing and local centres, supporting children and young people and tackling poverty are also key areas the plan focuses on.
Another key focus is transport - with plans to upgrade roads and tackle potholes, alongside improving public transport.
The council also says it will continue working to create jobs, attract investment into Sheffield and modernise the way it delivers services.
The Strategic Business Plan also reviews what has been achieved since the council's wider Council Plan was agreed in 2024.
It highlights improvements in children's social care, investment in parks and leisure facilities, fewer families living in bed and breakfast accommodation, support for local businesses and regeneration projects across the city.
Councillor Fran Belbin, leader of Sheffield City Council, said: "We've achieved a great deal over the last two years, but we know there's still much more to do.
"Wherever we've spoken to residents, people have been clear about what matters most. They want cleaner neighbourhoods, better roads, stronger local communities, support when they need it and more opportunities for themselves and their families.
"We've listened carefully, and this Strategic Business Plan turns what we've heard into action."
If approved by the Strategy and Resources Policy Committee today, the plan will guide the council's work and priorities for the next two years.
