The leader of Sheffield’s opposition has hit out at Sheffield Council’s decision to put aside £16.6 million for leisure without consultation.

Coun Shaffaq Mohammed, leader of Sheffield Liberal Democrats, said there was no opportunity to question if it was the best use of taxpayers’ money.

The decision was made by council leader Julie Dore under emergency Covid-19 powers.
