From Sheffield City Council news release:

Sheffield’s new administration has been formally announced today, with a co-operative administration of Labour and Green Party members.

At Sheffield City Council's Annual General Meeting at Ponds Forge today, Councillor Terry Fox was named Leader of the Council, and named a co-operative administration of seven Labour members and three Green members.

Councillor Terry Fox said: 'It's the people of Sheffield who make our city so brilliant, and I am determined this co-operative administration will deliver for our communities. Everything we do will have Sheffielders at the very heart, I can promise you that. Local Area Committees will be at the core of our plans - listening to and empowering our diverse communities will be an absolute priority for us all'.

'There will be plenty that we need to get our heads around as a new administration, but we have all committed to working in an open, inclusive and democratic way for Sheffield. This city is the best place in the world, and there are exciting times ahead. I’m thrilled to be leading this work'.

Cllr Douglas Johnson said: 'This is a time for hope and optimism and as leaders we must all work together to do the right thing for the city. I am immensely proud of the cross-Party commitments we are making from day one – to connect with our communities, invest in our young people and to focus on our city's green ambitions, taking meaningful action to tackle the climate crisis.

The global pandemic means that the last year has been unlike any other, but we have an opportunity now to help Sheffield come back better than ever before. We are ready to represent the people of Sheffield, and we will deliver.'
