Parliamentary Representation section
I wonder if it is a bit odd to single out Nick Clegg and his stint as MP for Hallam here with a fairly long statement. True he was a party leader and Deputy Prime Minister - though the importance of that office is debatable, and as such certainly one of Sheffield's more notable MPs. However I do think that there is a danger of giving undue focus to someone who was defeated two elections ago and who was not one of Sheffield's longer serving MPs (only 12 years). One way to address this could be to mention other prominent Sheffield MPs of the past such David Blunkett - who in recent history represented a Sheffield seat for 28 years and held senior office in the cabinet for over 7 years - or going further back the cabinet minister A. V. Alexander, 1st Earl Alexander of Hillsborough. Alternately might it be better to say something about the current MPs? Dunarc (talk) 22:51, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

The city and the city
There are two articles claiming to be about the city known as Sheffield — Sheffield and City of Sheffield. Which one is about the city and what is the other one about? — GhostInTheMachine talk to me 14:23, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
- The Sheffield article is about the settlement, the City of Sheffield is about the wider unitary authority that has Sheffield as its main settlement. Keith D (talk) 22:28, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
Questions about Park Hill Flats and Hyde Park Flats
I'm getting a bit confused trying to work out which neighbourhood the former Hyde Park Flats are in.
The Park Hill Flats (which is basically four buildings connected together) are in Park Hill, Sheffield correct?
The Hyde Park Flats which I'm pretty sure are now Harold Lambert Court and Castle Court with St Johns Park Church in the middle, are all in Hyde Park, Sheffield correct?
Or are the Hyde Park Flats also in the neighbourhood of Park Hill, Sheffield as that's what Google Maps seems to show?
Does the neighbourhood of Hyde Park, Sheffield even exist anymore? Danstarr69 (talk) 18:43, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
Libraries in 2023
I have just updated the information on libraries and have left the legacy information that SCC runs the Hospital Library Service at Weston Park Hospital but can't find any information to support this. Does anyone have any information and a citation? 86.160.250.34 (talk) 02:59, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
