  2. Up to half of the city's libraries could close unless community groups come forward to run them. It's part of £50m of budget cuts the council are having to make. http://postcodegazette.com/news/9002907026/library-closures-loom-as-council-appeals-for-volunteers-AT-sheffield-sheffield-town-hall/

  6. Sheffield Council’s Cabinet yesterday voted to scrap free bus passes for up to 1,000 children attending church schools in the city. But the city’s councillors still have their own free bus passes, city centre parking permits and have their other travel costs picked up by the council. http://postcodegazette.com/news/9002805310/councillors-scrap-bus-passes-for-church-schools---but-keep-their-own-AT-sheffield-sheffield-town-hall/

All 36 children’s centres in the city are being declassified as Ofsted-registered centres and instead reorganised into 17 children’s centre ‘areas’ as part of council efforts to save £3.5million.
