Maia Salman-Lord was first elected to City Ward in May 2026, replacing Cllr Martin Phipps who retired.
She serves on the Finance Committee.
I’m Maia! I live in City Ward, in Highfield. I worked for St Mary’s Community Centre for 8½ years, have been on the local Tenants’ and Residents’ committee for 14 years and brought my children up here. In that time, I’ve run lots of projects aimed at making people’s lives better in the local community.
Working hard all year round
- I wrote the successful funding bid for new play equipment and landscaping of the Duchess Road pocket park.
- I’ve worked on poverty, mental health awareness and youth unemployment and campaigned against disability benefit restrictions. I’ve developed and managed projects in communities across Sheffield to build community, engage volunteers and reduce food poverty.
- I have joined your elected Green councillors, Douglas Johnson and Ruth Mersereau. We work year-round in community groups, speak to local businesses, knock on people’s doors for a chat, and try to make everyone feel included and heard.
Bringing back hope into politics
Across the country, the Green Party is growing, bringing hope back into politics. Hope means moving towards a politics rooted in integrity, compassion, and action, like we’ve done in Sheffield for over 20 years now.
