Local elections 2022: all the wards with a new councillor and how to contact them

Sheffield Council was left in no overall control for a second consecutive year following a long results night at the English Institute of Sport Sheffield which saw several seats change hands but no winner taking it all.

Politicians are now in the process of deciding who will team up to take the reins for the year and have until the council’s annual general meeting on Wednesday, May 18 to make a decision.

But things will be different this year regardless of leadership as the council changes to a modern committee system for the first time.

This aims to give all councillors more power in decision making by delegating authority to committees that will be politically proportionate to the make up of the council.
