Labour-led Sheffield City Council has warned against a forced return to the ‘autocratic, top-down decision-making cabinet system'.

Sheffield voted 65% to 35% in a 2021 referendum to change to a committee system after its strong leader cabinet model was criticised for its role in a scandal in which 17,500 street trees were chopped down.
