The loss of Peter Sheffield has been a real blow to the people of Portsmouth, and now they have lost their trust with the city council, as Peters contribution to important issues and dedication to the public was inspiring to all. Local Road sweeper Jack Roberts tell us his opinion on this event. "It's such a shame to lose a great bloke like Peter, he made us all feel like the council cared about all of our needs. Now they aren't supporting child care as much as they should and Peter has left, I can see the council reputation going down hill and the public not getting involved as they used too". Figures show us that since Peter became chairman childcare and rehabilitation institutions were having increased support and funding by 5 - 10%, Peter still said this wasn't enough. After two years of being chairman Peter Sheffield noticed the amount of funding to support childcare dropped by 25%, He then went on to conferences in London to increase the support to health institutions and NHS, but this still wasn't enough to change the current crisis in Portsmouth. Years of hard work and determination has not shown to provide great success. But, the reputation, self belief and morality of Peter Sheffield is still intact. And is probably more respected than ever.

Chairman of Portsmouth City Council, Peter Sheffield, has resigned after an ongoing dispute on the amount of help local childcare institutions are getting. Since 2004 The funding and support for childcare has dropped by 25%, this means local nurseries and social workers have been shut down or workers have lost their jobs. Peter Sheffield has been campaigning in the fight for funding child care in Portsmouth for years, with local events and sponsorships to help keep the funding for childcare at its highest. But this wasn't enough, the funding of recycling schemes and roadworks has been seen to be more of an issue. Peter Sheffield tells us that "this is a disgrace! both to the councils reputation and the governments. It should be human rights to put care before money making schemes like road works and recycling!".
