Excellent news... a permanent asset at a fraction of the CEO's annual paypacket/bonus..  :)

Wish more councils would respond to waiting lists in such a positive way!

Well Done Sheffield.

I hope it gets a lot of publicity and other councils do the same.  We are fairly lucky in Birmingham but there is still a waiting list at most sites.

Sheffield is a very green city- lots of work done by the Uni with the council on green roofs etc. My daughter is at uni there and I've always thought it would be a nice place to live- here's another reason!
