This is how Sheffield City Council looked like prior to the local elections in April.

No overall control since 2021 - and the expectation is it stays that way.

Key questions:

*Can Labour extend their lead?
**Can the LibDems gain Crookes and Crosspool and/or Mosborough?

I'm at the English Institute of Sport in Sheffield to cover the count for the local democracy reporting service today.

Let's do this! 🫡
