The leader of Sheffield City Council has apologised that he gave an incorrect response to a street tree campaigner’s complaint about protesters who were subjected to “illegitimate pressure “over a court threat.

Russell Johnson spoke at the March 6 meeting to accuse Sheffield City Council of taking three years to tackle the issue of protesters who had been arrested being subject to pressure to sign a legal undertaking in order to avoid the council pursuing court action against them and claiming legal costs.

If you wish to pursue your outstanding complaint to SCC , or lodge a new one, you should approach them in the normal way. “The inquiry does not replace any of those processes and does not affect the right to complain, so you are free to pursue the complaint as you see fit.
