Due to COVID 19, this event will be held online, using Zoom virtual meeting platforms.

Over the last few months, we’ve been talking to Sheffielders to find out what you think of your local area, and what you would like to see improved or changed.

Your feedback, along with information from partner organisations and community groups will shape a community plan.

We'll be presenting the key findings from what we've learned so far, and an outline of how we're developing the draft Community Plan. We would then like to break up into discussion groups to talk about the themes that have emerged from the responses and ask for your views and feedback.

The 8 themes are listed below. Please select your preferred choice on the next page.

Due to the way the event is set up, we're unable to take live comments during the presentation. Please send any comments, or questions to our team.
