What does Sheffield mean to you?
Sheffield means lots of hills, delicious water, friendly people and gigantic takeaway serving portions (which I love).
What's your favourite place in Sheffield?
I’ve only just moved up to Sheffield so I don’t know what my favourite place is yet! I will say I keep frequenting the Birdhouse Tea Bar and Coles Corner. I also enjoy a stomp around Graves Park.
What would you do to improve the city?
To improve the city I would work to make spaces more accessible and for the folks working on this to think beyond ramps and braille signs. The disabled lived experience is vast and access needs to be in every bit of a city and a culture.
