Following the breakout session, one person from each group was asked to feedback their groups thoughts. A summary of all the feedback presented were as follows: -
• Mentioned they are already a lot of good resources in the city. • How can the community improve communication and confidence of residents. • What would it take to get more people involved in LAC activities. • Start a dialogue with residents on what the council were doing. • Have umbrella organisations to support volunteers. • How can we change residents attitudes – can we use the LAC funding to introduce different community groups to each other. • Needed to encourage parents to support their children in mixing with other social groups and celebrate other cultures. • Can we change applications or forms to other languages to improve engagement and accessibility. • Organisations having the time to go through council policies and whose there to support them. • Can the Council ensure that organisations were made aware of the commission and their role in this piece of work. • How can the Council challenge the private sector. • How can we address issues raised on social media platforms. • Needed to create spaces where people can have open and honest conversations. • Making use of green and open spaces in the city. • Sheffield was best when it celebrated together.

Ted Talbot explained that there was sustainable urban drainage project taking place on Manor Park at the end of the summer holidays. He asked for Members support in reassuring anyone who contacted the Council asking what was taking place that this drainage project was the cause for the disruption in the park. He mentioned that this work was to prevent houses from flooding and that once the project was complete it will restore to what is almost looked like now, although the work could last up to 4 years. |
