Name: Cllr Paul Scriven
Years as councillor: 11 Term Ends: May 2012
Bio: Paul was born in Huddersfield and left school at 16 with no qualifications. He returned to college at 18 and then took a degree at Manchester. Paul then worked for the NHS, before setting up his own business in Sheffield. He was first elected for Broomhill ward in 2000 and became a popular local councillor with a reputation for standing up for local people and getting things done. In 2002, he was elected leader of the Lib Dem Group in Sheffield and in May 2008, became Leader of the Council. As Council Leader, Paul was quick to make his mark, known for injecting a bit of Yorkshire straight-talking into any situation. Under Paul’s leadership, Sheffield saw its lowest ever council tax rise two years in a row, and senior managers in Town Hall cut by 10%. He has also shown that he’s not afraid to get his hands dirty, joining gritting teams battling to keep roads, picking up litter in parks as part of Spring Clean events and going out with graffiti teams cleaning up local neighbourhoods. Paul is also a patron of Roundabout, a Sheffield-based charity for the homeless.
