Volunteers wanted for soup run

Could you lend at hand at a Crosspool-organised soup run that helps Sheffield’s homeless people?

For several years, volunteers from the community and local churches of Crosspool have been helping homeless people by making and distributing sandwiches, hot drinks and soup in designated city centre locations.

They do this every other Monday evening between September and May, arriving at 8pm and finishing before 9pm.

Organisers are looking for some more volunteers who would be willing to come down and help distribute the food and drinks. You can choose whether to help out one every four weeks, or every two weeks – most do a monthly rota.

If you are interested and would like to know more, then please email the organiser for Crosspool, Eddie.sherwood@btinternet.com.

The Plough pub consultation deadline extended to Friday 9 September

The consultation deadline to comment on proposals for changes to The Plough pub has been extended to Friday 9 September.

After the pub closed in April, Sainsbury’s announced plans to turn it into a convenience store.

The Save the Plough group has been coordinating the campaign to keep the building as a pub and save the sporting heritage of Sandygate. The group has raised several specific concerns over the proposals and is encouraging residents to give their views.

Some residents are also in support of the the idea of a convenience store opening in place of the pub.

If you have views either way then consider making them known to Sainsbury’s, Sheffield Planning Committee by commenting on the website, our local MP and councillors:

Adam Hanrahan, Liberal Democrats – Sandygate Sainsbury’s survey page
Anne Murphy, Labour – Crookes and Crosspool branch page
Craig Gamble Pugh, Labour – Crookes and Crosspool branch page

Last year The Plough was listed as an asset of community value.

Crosspool road safety online petition launched

Following last week’s Open Meeting, a local resident has launched an online petition to improve road safety in Crosspool.

View/sign the petition – Sheffield City Council website

The petition reads:

We the undersigned petition the council to:

Implement a reduction in the speed limit to 20mph for the shopping precinct area at Crosspool and the parts of the service roads of Selbourne Road, Watt Lane, Benty Lane, and Sandygate Road nearest to the precinct

Help to enforce this new limit with traffic calming measures including the ‘humping’ of the four existing Zebra Crossings.

Crosspool shopping precinct is a busy area used by large numbers of unaccompanied schoolchildren and with a high number of elderly residents. Recently an elderly resident was killed in a traffic accident on one of the crossings. Vehicles travel at high speed through the shopping precinct and it is inevitable that further accidents resulting in serious injury or death will occur unless preventative, safety measures are taken.
