priority areas for the Committee’s forward agenda in 2025/26,
ensuring alignment with the Council Plan and City Goals; and

Reasons for

Alternatives
Considered and Rejected

 

 

9.4.1

Alternative Option 1: Do nothing. Not set out
a forward agenda for 2025/26 – this was rejected because
having agreed a new Council Plan, this committee needs to set out
the things we want to achieve in the coming year for the residents
of Sheffield.
