Cars on a wet road
Last week saw the highest number of hits ever in a 24-hour period to our news website, Sheffield Newsroom, with over 80,000 visits to the information relating to flooding.
John Mothersole, Chief Executive of Sheffield City Council, said: “Over recent years, we have been providing more news content directly to the public than ever before, through the Newsroom site and associated digital channels. This work really came into its own on Thursday and Friday, with record numbers visiting the site for information about the flooding in Sheffield.”
Thank you to everyone who visited and shared links to the site to help people get the most up to date information during the period.
