Campaigners calling for a referendum on the way Sheffield City Council is run have submitted a petition signed by more than 26,000 people.

The It's Our City group wants the authority's current leader model to be replaced with a committee system of decision making.

By law a petition signed by 5% of voters - 20,092 - will trigger a vote, external.

A council spokesman said if the petition is deemed valid a city-wide vote would take place by May 2020.

Sheffield City Council has 84 elected councillors across 28 wards, but under the current model it is the council leader and nine cabinet members who make decisions on "the most significant issues".

Co-chair of It's Our City Ruth Hubbard said the existing system "places power in the hands of too few".

"We want our city to work for all of us but at the moment it's failing," she said.

"In the current model 74 of 84 elected representatives are formally excluded from the decision-making structure of the council; they play no role in most of the decisions that are made in and about our city.

"That means the vast majority of voters in Sheffield have no voice."
