Local elections: full list of candidates in every Sheffield ward

It promises to be another interesting race in Sheffield following big changes at the last locals which saw the Labour leader unseated and the council pushed to no overall control.

This past year saw the first Labour and Green coalition and from May the council will operate under a modern committee system which aims to give all councillors more say in decisions.

Labour, Green, Liberal Democrat and Conservative parties have representatives in all of the 28 wards.

Other parties putting candidates forward include the Northern Independence Party, Women’s Equality Party, Yorkshire Party, Communist Party of Britain, UKIP and Reform UK.

City leaders are among those up for re-election such as Terry Fox, leader of the council (Labour); Gail Smith, current Lord Mayor (Liberal Democrats); Shaffaq Mohammed, leader of Sheffield Liberal Democrats; Paul Wood, executive member for housing, roads and waste management (Labour); and Jayne Dunn, executive member for education, children and families (Labour).

The city will say goodbye to several well-known councillors who are not running for re-election.

Those standing down this year are: Cate McDonald, executive member for finance and resources (Labour), Chris Rosling-Josephs (Labour), Moya O’Rourke (Labour), Francyne Johnson, (Labour), Neale Gibson (Labour), Jack Scott (Labour), Alison Teal, executive member for sustainable neighbourhoods, wellbeing, parks and leisure (Green Party) and Kaltum Rivers (Green Party).

Alongside the council elections there is a South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority election to replace Dan Jarvis.

Candidates running in that election are: David Bettney (Social Democratic Party), Simon Biltcliffe (Yorkshire Party), Oliver Coppard (Labour), Joe Otten (Liberal Democrats), Clive Watkinson (Conservative) and Bex Whyman (Green Party).

Polling day is Thursday, May 5.
