    Good Evening,

    I’m Samuel, a local student from the University of Sheffield School of Architecture and I am very intererested in transparency within local council information and how the public of Sheffield relate to this. I have attatched a survey that I carried out with a panel of 20 locals in the Central Community Assembly with regards to the Community Assembly Action plan that has been recently released. I’d be pleased if you would let me know what you think,

    Kind Regards

    Dear all,

    I am currently writing an article about the mayoral elections in May and I recently came over this site. What is your view on having a directly elected mayor? Do you think having a directly elected mayor will change Sheffield in any way? If yes/no, how?

    I am looking forward to hearing from you.

    Best Regards
    Anna Burdal

      Hello Anna,

      Thank you for contacting us. ‘Sheffield for Democracy’ has decided to remain a neutral party in the debate over whether Sheffield or other cities should have an elected mayor and that we should act as a neutral platform for discussion. We invite contributions in the form of comments or guest blog posts on the subject and have blog posts with links to those Yes or No campaign websites that we are currently aware of.

      I have circulated your question to our steering group members for their thoughts and may be in touch again if they have anything further to add.

      Regards,

      Richard Shaw,
      Webmaster, Sheffield for Democracy
