EDITORS COMMENTS

This vintage print captures a significant moment in South Yorkshire's history, as it showcases the South Yorkshire County Council Christmas card from around 1986. The card itself serves as a political commentary on the Government's plans to abolish metropolitan county councils during that time. The image depicts two prominent figures of the era, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and Secretary of State for the Environment Michael Heseltine, engaged in an unusual task - carving up a local government pudding. This playful representation symbolizes their involvement in dividing and reshaping local governance structures. At its core, this photograph represents the tensions surrounding the proposed abolition of metropolitan county councils. It serves as a reminder of how political decisions can impact communities at a local level. The Christmas card not only reflects the sentiments within South Yorkshire but also highlights wider debates about decentralization and central government control. Preserved at Sheffield Libraries' archives (arc07244), this historical artifact offers valuable insights into both regional politics and festive traditions during that period. As we observe this image today, it prompts us to reflect on past events while appreciating how they have shaped our present understanding of local government systems and their significance in maintaining community cohesion.
