Every Local Area Committee now has a community plan. Before Sheffield City Council put these plans together, thousands of residents gave us their views. So the plans show the priorities for improving the area, according to what local people have told us.
The plans were agreed in March 2022, after being discussed at public meetings. They're quite detailed, so we've put together simple summaries.
The Local Area Committee (LAC) community plans are available on the Sheffield Council website. We've created a short summary for each area or you can read the plans in full.
The Central Sheffield Local Area Committee (LAC) developed our community plan through consultations with residents, voluntary, community and faith sector (VCFS) groups and other stakeholders.
These consultations have helped us identify five key priorities within the area, which will inform what steps we plan to take on tackling the issues that matter most to residents.
The key priorities highlighted in the plan are:
transport and highways
environment
community safety and crime
community and neighbourhoods
business, employment and skills
Next steps
A number of actions are planned to address each of the priorities. You can read the proposed actions for each priority in more detail in the full version of the plan.
The Central LAC will continue to listen to you and work to deliver the projects and priorities outlined in the plan. Our commitments are:
we will work with you to listen to your concerns and incorporate your thoughts and comments into the plan
we will work with partners, including the voluntary, community and faith sector and local communities to deliver the priorities and projects outlined in our plan
we will continue to listen and connect with communities to understand their priorities
we will hold a minimum of four public meetings a year to hear the views and concerns of local people and to provide updates on the Community Plan
we will work to shape and influence council services as outlined in the plan, to help us respond to the needs of local people
we will aim to represent the interest of local people and organisations with external organisations, as appropriate, to achieve the objectives outlined in the plan
we will produce an annual report to update you on our progress
To support the delivery of the community plan, the LAC has a dedicated budget of £100,000 for 2022-23. The LAC also has access to around £57,000 for targeted work around fly tipping and graffiti hotspots.

The North Sheffield Local Area Committee (LAC) developed its draft community plan through consultations with the public. We identified key issues within the area and developed a series of priorities that would inform the direction of the LAC.
The key priorities highlighted in the plan are:
safe roads and effective transport links
clean and attractive environment
vibrant community life
Next Steps
A number of areas for further exploratory work have been identified. These include:
activities for young residents by developing a group to look at current provision and engaging young residents to hear their needs
digital infrastructure and digital exclusion
routes to share community/ service information
routes to develop and promote volunteering
work focussed on supporting those in greatest need
people's experience of local transport routes and other options such as community transport
options for road safety around schools, including 20mph zones
installation of vehicle-activated signs in each ward to flag excess speed
how to promote the integration of young residents who have been housed in council accommodation
how we can support local high streets
how we can support and develop local community groups and buildings
improving play facilities, parks and open spaces
work to tackle graffiti, litter and fly-tipping hotspots
This will lead to the development of options for projects and use of LAC budget. It is expected that proposals will be brought to the next LAC meeting in June/ July 2022.
Alongside this, an action plan will be developed to track the implementation of agreed work.
The North East Sheffield Local Area Committee (LAC) developed our community plan through consultations with residents, voluntary, community and faith sector (VCFS) groups and other stakeholders.
