It is very concerning that this year’s local elections have been dominated by lies and misinformation from the two main parties. Behaviour like this can only undermine the public trust in our politicians and is very dangerous for democracy. Following the Lowcock Report, where the Labour Council were found to have misled the courts, andContinue reading “Sheffield Local Elections, trees, lies and mis-information”

A guest blog by By Joan Miller from South Yorkshire Climate Alliance Four years ago Sheffield City Council declared a Climate Emergency but since then progress to zero carbon has been far too slow. It is certainly not what the massive gathering of protesters was calling for back in 2019. So this week South YorkshireContinue reading “South Yorkshire Climate Alliance call for cross-party solutions to Climate Emergency.”
Climate Review of the Year
I hope 2022 will go down as the year the world woke up to the climate emergency. Extreme weather events have hit every part of the globe, including Sheffield. So far the planet has heated 1.2C.

Sheffield- Where democracy goes to die.
At last, Sheffield City Council has been forced to apologise to the people of the city over its handling of the destruction of thousands of street trees. Forced apologies never seem sincere, especially when the first attempt doesn’t include the word “sorry”.
