A press release 👇👇

#LLGgovernance. Welcome 2 Sheffield

Please prioritise citizen/community interests (those who councils are meant 2 serve) - not simply interests of politicians & council machinery. And improve standards, to halt damaging local governance failures.
3/3

[Ruth Hubbard @ItsOurCity1]

Two of the local campaigner ‘welcome committee’ for #LLGgovernance in Sheffield today, now👇👇

Being thanked by arriving delegates - council legal and governance officers from across England - for the leaflet.

We are delivering a message to the LLG Governance Conference…1/2

[Save GV Trees @GleadlessVTrees]

Sorry to hear this @tomhunt100 @katejosephs is this what you want? Crushing local groups who want to add value to their local area but spend time fighting the council to save their parks instead. @e_marianne @FOGPark1 @ItsOurCity1 @AnnEtte82016400 @HawksleyWendy @JuliaAArmstrong

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

An entire culture, history and people are disappearing under the rubble – buried by the moral cowardice of our political leaders.

Artists whose work we will never know.

Teachers whose lessons we will never learn.

Children whose laughter we will never hear.

We must keep raising our voice for an immediate ceasefire. For the universal application of international law. For our shared humanity.

For the only path to a just & lasting peace: an end to the occupation of Palestine.

[Paul Powlesland @paulpowlesland]

With official inquiry published & this apology, one of the last parts of the Sheffield Tree Scandal to investigate & unpack is the role of law & lawyers. In this thread I call for @SheffCouncil to waive privilege & release all legal advice & correspondence https://t.co/LiYoXYUtst

Our posters with @ascstammering about stammering made it all the way into the Barnsley Chronicle! Hoping we can spread the word about stammering a little further across the town.

[Action for Stammering Children @ascstammering]

This thread has been re-discovered today it seems. If the BBC is going to apologise for anything, I hope it’s for its total and abject failure to critically report on Nigel Farage

Informative calm discussion about the action needed to face the climate and ecological crisis. Thank you @ZoeatShine @GreenRupertRead @CMP_voice @JustStop_Oil @greens_can @tinalouiseUK @AnothervoiceWB @KayBurley

Rhodes is burning...What really matters is not that a Tourist playground burns, its the animals burned, wildlife lost and Nature destroyed...but out headlines talk of cancelled flights and holidays. If we think this is inconvenient..you wait to see the inconvenience of climate refugees, lack of food and water....floods, droughts and war....but lets just carry on leave that to our kids to deal with.

Oh dear! Better not come to Sheffield then. #saveshefftrees

[mightyatom @mightyatom2]

No apologies from, or consequences for, those responsible or complicit in dragging Sheffield's name in mud and wasting £millions of our money @LouHaigh @tomhunt100 @katejosephs @_OliviaBlake @PaulBlomfieldMP

[Alison Teal 🍃💚🍃 @alisonclareteal]

‘Sorry’ doesn’t cut it, say Sheffield Tree Massacre campaigners. Thank you @colin__drury for covering the story for years. Despite @tomhunt100's wishes to 'go forward' he'd be wise to better understand the past first. @StagNews2022 @SheffieldGreens https://t.co/aVVxbZjHDM

[mightyatom @mightyatom2]

Agree. Despite the fulsome apology a) those responsible or complicit have not apologised b) no real consequences for those responsible c) no acknowledgement let alone apology for over £2 million public money wasted d) no concrete signs of new " culture of engagement"

My reply to Sheffield Council’s meaningless apology for the street tree scandal https://t.co/iLgUOz1i5F @StagNews2022 @ItsOurCitySheff @GreenJennyJones @GeorgeMonbiot @JayMitchinson @raringtoread @LutheBlue @RobGMacfarlane @patrick_barkham @TreesforCities @AndyEgan4Trees

[mightyatom @mightyatom2]

It's not being unhelpfully backward looking to expect some consequences for those making or complicit with the harmful decisions. If we see no accountability now, how can we expect future accountability to be any better, however good the scrutiny plans?

[Kate Josephs @katejosephs]

Yesterday members of @SheffCouncil strategy and resources committee unanimously agreed council response to @SirMarkLowcock report into the street tree dispute, agreeing to 36 actions which directly address his recommendations and lessons 🔗 https://t.co/ub4KyD6RUC

[mightyatom @mightyatom2]

@katejosephs @SheffCouncil @SirMarkLowcock Glad to hear the fulsome apology to the people of Sheffield for harms done. One demo of new "openness and transparency" would be to acknowledge that at least £1.5 million of public money was spent on lawyers, Inquiry, ITP. Money which could have been used for social care etc.

[Sheffield Tree Protector News @STAG2025]

A thread of huge importance. #EnvironmentalEducation is a priority in the struggle to mitigate #ClimateChange and ensure healthier happier future communities. Vital that #LowcockReport recommendations are considered in context. @tomhunt100 @Graham21 @katejosephs #SaveSheffTrees

[mightyatom @mightyatom2]

@LouHaigh I know you're not in the Lords but please use your influence...

[mightyatom @mightyatom2]

@LouHaigh Please use your influence in Lab to keep as much of our right to protest as the Tories will leave us. Lab need to stop this authoritarian awfulness being thrust on the population.

[Jenny Jones @GreenJennyJones]

I wish that @UKLabour had tabled this Fatal Motion instead of me. Or ... That they will at least guarantee voting for it.

[mightyatom @mightyatom2]

@DouglasJSheff Of course Lab want complete control. Blunkett has been clear about that. SY mayoral authority trying to get Coppard as PCC as well. What more evidence is needed. But still Greens won't work with Lib Dems in Sheffield.
