South Local Area Committee

The South Local Area Committee comprises councillors for Beauchief & Greenhill, Graves Park, Gleadless Valley, and Nether Edge & Sharrow wards. It aims to empower communities by giving them more control over local decision-making and the delivery of council services. The committee oversees the creation of an annual Area Committee Plan, influenced by resident priorities, and works with local partners to ensure services meet community needs. It monitors the delivery of these plans and is empowered to set priorities and direct resources within its geographical area. Public questions and petitions can be submitted to the committee, though certain matters, such as individual planning applications or judicial issues, are excluded.
