Sheffield city centre has been reaccredited with a Purple Flag award for the way it manages the city centre's night-time economy.
Purple flag status is awarded by the Association of Town and Centre Management (ATCM) to towns and city centres that meet or surpass standards of excellence in managing the evening and night time economy.
In 2012, Sheffield was the first city in Yorkshire to apply for accreditation. Purple flag is an internationally recognised accreditation for the management of a city centre and Sheffield has had this accreditation now for 13 years.
Sheffield’s partners in the Purple Flag process includes Sheffield City Council, South Yorkshire Police, Sheffield BID, Changing Sheff, Friends of Sheffield City Centre and UNIGHT.
