Terry Fox says he has requested meetings with both the Liberal Democrats and Greens after his party lost overall control of the council.

Mr Fox, who replaced Bob Johnson after he lost his seat, said: "I have requested a sit down meeting with both the Lib Dems and the Greens to discuss going forward.

“It’s incumbent on politicians to get an administration over the line so we can start serving the people of Sheffield and I will do everything I can to get that done by 19 May.”

She won 60.1% of the popular vote, after a run-off with the Conservative candidate when she failed to secure a majority in the first round of voting.

Ms Brabin, a former actor and television writer, entered the House of Commons in 2016 after being elected to replace murdered MP Jo Cox.

The newly-elected mayor said: "It is an honour I cannot put into words."

She went on to speak of growing up in a council flat in Birstall, in the constituency she would eventually represent, and said she hoped her election would send a message to other working class children.

If no candidate gets more than 50% of the first choice votes, all except the top two candidates are eliminated.
