Sheffield has many claims to fame, but perhaps one of the least well known is that the first-ever petition for women’s suffrage by a group of women came from the town in 1851. This was organised by the Women’s Rights Association (WRA). Thank you to @sheffhallamuni for inviting me to the exhibition and plaque unveiling. I’m pleased to say that Sheffield now has many women in leadership positions, some of whom are here today.

Lots of festive fun at the @ZestCentre annual Christmas Family Fun Day. Santa got a birthday cake and the choir had a great sing-along. It was great to see many families enjoy the face painting, games, and activities 🎅🎄

Our Transport Secretary announced £1billion for local bus services across the UK, a great benefit to Sheffield and a positive step towards tackling the climate crisis. Looking forward to seeing more from the biggest reform to England’s bus system in 40 years.

🚌 Today, South Yorkshire takes a big step forward in our plans for bus reform. For the next twelve weeks, we’re running a public consultation on our proposals to take back control of routes, fares and timetables in SY. It takes two minutes. Please, please do have you say! 🚌
🚌Have your say on taking back control of our buses 🚌 Today we’ve launched a 12-week public consultation to find out what you think about our proposals to introduce bus franchising in South Yorkshire to take control of the depots, bus fleet, routes and fares to make sure buses work better for the public.

This morning it was great to meet some of the residents of Northfield Court at their weekly coffee morning ☕🫖 We chatted about lots of different things including the city centre, buses, bins and Bole Hill Park. It was a lovely morning! 🙂🙂

Our buses are not good enough, lots of people in across our city cannot rely on them to get them to where they need to go. The consultation launches on 23 October for you to have your say on the future of our bus services. Please do take part!
This week we have taken a big step forward to improve public transport in Sheffield and across South Yorkshire. A public consultation about our plans to bring buses back under public control will begin later this month. Have your say from October 23rd.

September has been #CatchTheBusMonth 🚏🚍. Buses open up life-changing opportunities. In South Yorkshire, @olivercoppard is progressing bus franchising, and @LouHaigh's Better Buses Bill will give every community control of their services. Hop on board a bus today! 🚌

Sheffield again demonstrates today that we will not be divided by those who want to sow fear & hate. We take great pride in being a welcoming city and celebrating our diversity. Strong and proactive policing all day. Thank you to @syptweet for working hard to keep people safe.

Our diversity is our greatest strength, there is no place in our city for those who try to divide us. The violence we have seen across the country, and in South Yorkshire, since the devastating attack in Southport is not protest, but hate. 1/
