The purpose of the Narrative Report is to provide information on the authority, its main objectives and strategies and the principal risks that it faces. The Narrative Report therefore presents a summary of the City Council’s financial position and performance for the year and its prospects for future years. The Statement of Accounts contains all the financial statements and disclosure notes required by statute. These statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with the 2019/20 Code of Practice on Local Authority Accounting (the Code) together with guidance notes as published by the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA). A glossary can also be found towards the end of these accounts to help explain some of the accounting terms used. Page 177 2) SHEFFIELD AS A PLACE Sheffield is an ambitious city and is England’s fourth largest city in terms of population. Historically the centre of the world’s steel industry, Sheffield has now diversified as a major centre for advanced manufacturing and engineering, as well as being home to a thriving creative and digital sector and a cultural hub for the arts and for leisure activities. Sitting on the edge of the peak district, Sheffield is known as the outdoor city, something we take great pride in. In 2020 the city and its population, like the rest of the world, have had to respond to the Coronavirus pandemic. This pandemic has impacted on the lives of everyone worldwide, leading to unprecedented measures to control the spread and impact of the disease. For the City Council these measures have led to significant challenges in terms of maintaining services to the general population, and in particular to the most vulnerable in our society. For example the Council provides social care services to 7,700 older and vulnerable people, makes payments of Housing Benefit to 34,200 households, awards of Council Tax Support to 46,300 households, supports the education provision at every school in the city, and looks after 622 children in care, with 1,799 children assessed as in need. The critical elements of all these services have had to be delivered during the emergency. The Council has put in place robust plans to protect its citizens and critical services during the response to COVID-19, receiving, paying out or granting rate reliefs over £214m to businesses, ensuring continuing social care provision to vulnerable children, adults and the elderly, and continuing benefits payments to the needy. Other key Council services such as refuse collection also continued. The scale of COVID-19’s impact has necessitated a whole-city response, with partners from across the public, private and voluntary, community and faith sectors collaborating and working alongside Sheffield’s communities to respond to a rapidly changing emergency. These efforts still continue; the infection rate and deaths 3 Sheffield City Council Statement of Accounts 2019/20 thankfully dropped during the summer, but climbed again in the autumn and winter, necessitating a second lockdown. We are now all hopeful that the vaccination programme will offer a route out of the pandemic. Even without the effects of the pandemic, like many UK cities, Sheffield faces a wide variation in the levels of income within the city. However, unlike many cities, it has been successful

  • To the Down of The
    900 YEARS OF THE DON FISHERY fc n v ir o n m e to the down of the E n v ir o n m e n t A g e n c y The hand of man and the neglect of our . \i ancestors have deprived us of | a river which must have been a vision of glittering beauty (■ ERNEST PHILLIPS 1921 '1 The Don was once one of the country's finest salmon rivers. They have been absent from Salmon Pastures in Sheffield for more than two centuries. In fact for much of that time the river has been virtually fishless. Chris Firth's fascinating history of the river is timely. We now have a thriving coarse fishery again and the first salmon was found in Doncaster on 31 December 1995. Chris's study shows how man's exploitation of the Don devastated its ecology long before the pollution of the industrial revolution. Much has been achieved in recent years but much more remains to be done to protect and sustain the river. Os- JOHN FAWCETT CHAIRMAN 1 983 - 1 997 YORKSHIRE REGIONAL FISHERIES ADVISORY COMMITTEE Born and raised in the Don catchment, I have witnessed the river's misery throughout my childhood and into adult life. When in my professional life, the opportunity presented itself to begin the restoration of the Don I was eager to be involved. That is not to say that this document has been easy to produce. The collation of information from many varying sources has proved to be extremely challenging. The final product of many months of hard work is not a scientific record but a reflection borne of personal and professional experience.

We will hear about castles, graveyards, salmon, steel and even elephants, which are all connected in various ways to the Don. There will be lows, with the death of the Don, but ultimately it is a story of hope, with the ecological rebirth of the river.

  • Kelham Island Circular Walk
    Kelham Island Circular Walk ‘Industrial Sheffield’ Walk summary: A short pavement walk around this once heavily industrialised area with grand buildings Page | 1 from the 18th & 19th centuries. Distance: 1.6 miles / 2.6 kilometres Duration: approximately 1 hour not including stops Terrain: Flat, pavement walking Nearest Car Park: On road parking or RCP Parking Ltd, Corporation Street/Bridge Street, S3 8RG. Nearest Super Tram Stop: Shalesmoor 1. Kelham Island Museum Sheffield began to develop into an important industrial centre during the late 18th and early 19th century as a result of its specialisation in metal working. Harnessing water-power was key to the development of Kelham Island and the surrounding area for industry. The Kelham Island Conservation Area reflects the importance of this area and its development. Walk up Kelham Island with the mill race on your right Kelham Island isn’t really an island but a man-made spit of land resulting from the construction of the mill race in the 12th century. The mill race or ‘goit’ diverted water from the River Don to power a corn mill situated at Millsands near Lady’s Bridge that belonged to the Lord of the Manor. Apparently the island was named after the Town Armourer, Kellam Homer, who set up a grinding workshop in 1637. Some water still flows in to the goit and you can see the nine pillars or footings of the Britannia Corn Mill which sat astride the goit. The buildings were demolished in 1975. From here the goit is culverted running beneath Alma Street with the outfall on Nursery Street.
