Broomhill is
fortunate to have a local library that is an excellent source of
information on local activities, community groups, charitable and other
organisations working within the community. This page summarises those
that BANG works closely with.
The Broomhill Forum is an
umbrella
organisation in which the views of residents can be shared with those
representing local institutions and businesses. Forum meetings are
attended by representatives of local schools, churches, the University,
businesses, and the Council, as well as interested individuals and
community groups. Meetings take place quarterly at St. Mark's Church.
The Sheffield Central Community Assembly
is made up of the council members representing these local wards, and
holds regular open meetings to discuss issues of concern with the
community. The Area Panel produces an Three Year Area Plan that sets
out the priorities for the Panel and its objectives for the next three
years. Panel priorities are set by the Area Co-ordinator and
Members through consultation with members of the public and other
partners. The latest plan for the Broomhill, Central and Nether
Edge Panel can be downloaded from Sheffield City Council website by
following the link above.
Broomhill's local councillors take an active interest in community affairs and represent our interests in dealings with the council.
Broomhill's Member of Parliament is currently Paul Blomfield, Labour,
who was elected in 2005 for the Sheffield Central Constituence.
