Sheffield's carbon footprint

Greenhouse gases emitted within Sheffield's boundary came to 2,088 kilotonnes of CO2 equivalent in 2024, down 52% on 2005 (4,333 kt). That is 3.6 tonnes per person, against 4.7 for England as a whole. These are territorial figures: what is emitted here, by homes, workplaces, roads and land, not the carbon in what Sheffield buys from elsewhere.

Council tax is set each spring for the financial year from April. The headline figure is the Band D bill for a home in Sheffield outside the parished areas, made up of Sheffield City Council's charge plus the South Yorkshire police and fire precepts. Homes in Bradfield, Ecclesfield and Stocksbridge also pay a parish precept. Figures are what the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government records for Sheffield, not what any household pays after discounts or council tax support.

What each band pays in 2026-27

Only Band D is published. The other bands are derived here from the statutory ratios (Band A is six ninths of Band D, Band H twice it), before any parish precept, discount or premium, so a bill can differ by a few pence from rounding.

  • Band A £1,673.44 a year · derived, 6 ninths of Band D
  • Band B £1,952.35 a year · derived, 7 ninths of Band D
  • Band C £2,231.25 a year · derived, 8 ninths of Band D
  • Band D £2,510.16 a year · published figure
  • Band E £3,067.97 a year · derived, 11 ninths of Band D

  • Band G £4,183.60 a year · derived, 15 ninths of Band D
  • Band H £5,020.32 a year · derived, 18 ninths of Band D

The full Band D bill in Sheffield was £641.25 in 1993-94, the first year of council tax, and is £2,510.16 in 2026-27: 3.9 times as much in cash terms, before inflation, over 33 years.
