It's Our City launched the Sheffield People's Petition at the end of last year in order to change how Sheffield Council works. The campaign group have now amassed over 21,500 signatures.

The Petition calls for Sheffield Council to move from the Strong Leader Model currently in place to a modern committee system, where all 84 councillors would have input into the decision making process.

When the full Petition is submitted a referendum will be statutorily required.
