Notice Description

Sheffield City Council seeks applicants for the role of Independent Chair for a non-statutory local Inquiry into what has become known as the Sheffield Street Tree Dispute. This work will fulfil a commitment made by the Council's Co-Operative Executive following the outcome of the local elections in May 2021, seeking to develop a shared understanding of events and to allow the city to move forward together. The Council is committed to an entirely Independent Inquiry. The successful candidate will need to embody this quality and be able to demonstrate it to all stakeholders.
