Seven Sheffield councillors say they are being investigated after a row over the city's Local Plan.

Seven Sheffield Labour councillors suspended by the national party have said they were "extremely disappointed" by the move.

Councillors Tony Damns, Dianne Hurst, Denise Fox, Terry Fox, Julie Grocutt, Bryan Lodge and Garry Weatherall said they were told they had been suspended from the party in an email on Monday. In a statement, the group of seven councillors said they "could not in all conscience support proposals within the Local Plan that ignored the voice of the community"."highlighted the perceptions that the council entered into token consultations and ignored any contributions".

The councillors said as a result of their suspensions, they could not attend any meetings as representatives of the Labour group.
