Sheffield City Council has released a draft plan for the next four years, setting out the ways city goals can be achieved.

The draft Council Plan will be discussed at the Strategy and Resources Committee on Wednesday, 13 December.

Tom Hunt, Leader of Sheffield City Council, said: “It outlines a better, bolder vision for our city – creating great neighbourhoods, stronger economic growth, generating more jobs and investing in sustainable transport. Sheffield is a city on the up.”

The four year plan focuses on the ‘Together we get things done’ organisation, emphasising the importance of working together with all the city’s organisations and communities.

It is also linked to the Council’s four-year Medium-Term Financial Strategy (MTFS).

The Council’s main priorities for the next four years are:

  • To ensure young people feel like they belong and receive the support they need
  • To improve neighbourhoods by increasing the quality of housing, maintaining green spaces and working with communities.
  • To ensure people live in a caring and engaged community by ensuring people receive care and support 
  • To create a prosperous city full of culture, learning and innovation
  • To create a growing, connected and sustainable city

Mr Hunt said: “When we are making decisions, everything we do should involve the people of Sheffield and help them to achieve their potential, help to protect our planet for future generations, and make Sheffield a more prosperous city.”
