Title:	Rates lobby outside the Town Hall, Pinstone Street
Location:	Sheffield_City_Centre
Date:	1985/05/07
Date Period:	1980-1999
Copyright::	Sheffield Newspapers Ltd
Notes:	The Rates Act of 1984 allowed the Secretary of State to determine (or cap) a local authority's expenditure. There was widespread opposition to this in Sheffield as the City Council was forced to curtail its expenditure to ensure its spending did not breach the cap. A 'Sheffield Cares' campaign was launched to raise awareness of the effect of the rate-capping legislation.
