## Summary

Sheffield’s Labour and Green groups have moved from appearing ready to end their five-year governing partnership to preparing to renew it, a sharp reversal after public claims that trust between them had collapsed. The change leaves open whether they can continue to govern together after days of acrimonious exchanges.

Labour leader Fran Belbin had said the party would govern alone, while Green leader Angela Argenzio said relations had already been strained. Their dispute intensified over events in the Middle East, against a background of leadership changes and opposition to the local plan. Community activist Nicole Jewitt had publicly appealed for the parties to find a way forward; the supplied article text does not explain what prompted the reversal or what was agreed.
