Bullet points from Crosspool Forum Open Meeting/AGM, 27 October 2016
Crosspool Hardware shop shuts it doors
At 2pm this afternoon Crosspool Hardware closed for good.
The shop’s stock had been on sale at a reduced rate over the last couple of weeks and trading finally ceased earlier today.
The owners of the business tried to sell it as a going concern but weren’t able to. They’re now moving away from the area.
The shop will undoubtedly be missed by local residents. Its closure leaves another empty unit in the precinct, with the former Aligarh restaurant still standing empty since it shut 12 months ago.
Flower Design evening preview event on Friday 25 November
On Friday 25 November Crosspool florist Flower Design is having a late night opening event.
Between 6 and 8pm you’ll be able to preview their Christmas wreaths and table decorations at their Sandygate Road shop.
Refreshments will be served and you’ll get 10% off everything off everything bought or ordered on the night.
Shopping bag found at precinct bus stop
A shopping bag containing various perishable fruit items has been left by accident at the precinct bus stop within the last couple of days.
The black bag is cotton carrier type with pink dogs printed on it.
The owner can reclaim their lost property from the Crosspool Pets.
Nest cafe acoustic night postponed
Sunday’s acoustic night at Nest cafe in Crosspool has had to be cancelled due to a council licensing issue.
The organisers hope to rearrange the event soon, so look out for a new date.
