Minutes:
(a) BBC Radio Sheffield
The Mayor made reference to the video that was on display in the Reception Room prior to the start of the Council meeting in which he took part celebrating the 50th anniversary of the start of Radio Sheffield. Radio Sheffield was the second BBC local radio station to go on air, behind BBC Radio Leicester which had commenced one week previously.
The Mayor commented that Radio Sheffield provided an invaluable service not only to the residents of Sheffield but also to those of Barnsley and the whole of South Yorkshire.

In closing the Meeting, the Mayor commented that this would be the last Council meeting of the year and he extended all Members and Officers his best wishes for a Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
