Local Democracy Reporting Service

A total of six Labour councillors have resigned from senior positions in Sheffield over the bank holiday weekend in a row over how the authority is run.

A petition has called for a switch to a committee system of decision-making which could prompt a city-wide vote.

Councillors Moya O’Rourke and Adam Hurst have both resigned as cabinet assistants.

They are the latest to quit after the 26,000-name It’s Our City petition was handed into the Town Hall on Friday.

Hours after the petition, Councillor Olivia Blake quit as Deputy Leader.

On Sunday, her husband Councillor Lewis Dagnall resigned as cabinet member for environment, streetscene and climate change.

He was joined by councillors Sophie Wilson and Fran Johnson, who both quit their cabinet advisor roles.

Councillor O’Rourke, who was the youngest ever member of Sheffield Council when she was elected in 2016, said in a Facebook post: “It’s clear many people in Sheffield want to see more democracy in this city.

"So, like Olivia, Fran, Lewis and Sophie, I signed the It’s Our City petition.

"It’s time to be brave and follow my colleagues in taking a stand for democracy."

The resignations have sparked speculation there could be a vote of no confidence in leader Julie Dore.

Meanwhile, a flood relief fund set up after last month's downpours has raised almost £150,000.
