Just Four More Days left to enjoy the experience of traveling on the inexpensive and convenient X57 bus route over the picturesque Snake Pass to Manchester.
The SnakeX57 service, operated by Hulleys of Baslow, provided a useful link from Sheffield – Crosspool – Ladybower – Derwent – Glossop – Hyde and on to Manchester.
Sadly this socially friendly and efficient service will no longer run after this Saturday 8th January 2022
Crosspool Forum loves shredding real Christmas trees and encourages you, for a small donation, to recycle your discarded Christmas tree.
Andrew Clayton, a Local tree specialist, will provide Christmas tree recycling for the Community of Crosspool between 10am & 11.30am on Sunday 10th January 2021.
The Crosspool forum would like to take this opportunity to give a big thank you to ”Direct Travel”, for allowing us to use the space in front of their premises.
Please observe social distancing when dropping off your tree and suggested donation.
2022 Crosspool Calendars are still available.
Whilst shopping in Crosspool, don’t miss the opportunity, to pop along to GT News, Charisma, Enhance, or the Pet Shop for your 2022 Crosspool Calendar. Many of the photos in the calendar were taken by local residents.
Monies raised from calendar sales go to help the Crosspool Forum fund local events, improve and promote the well-being of the community.
A reminder that the X57bus service to Manchester is due to stop running after the last day of operation on Saturday 8 January 2022
The X57 Snake route, operated by Hulleys of Baslow, has for the past 18 months, provided a useful link from Sheffield over the Snake Pass through Glossop and onto Manchester.
Sadly, despite the service receiving a positive reception at its launch, the lack of passenger numbers has prompted a decision for the service to be withdrawn.
Hulleys Managing Director; “For a small operator such as ourselves launching such a high-profile service connecting two cities over a tortuous road was always going to be challenging, but we gave it our very best day after day, in spite of the weather, road closures, temporary traffic lights and so on.” “If buses could run on goodwill then who knows; a huge thank you to those who supported it, either on-board or just cheering from the roadside.
The Crosspool Forum wishes you, your family, friends, and neighbours
a Christmas filled with Warmth, Peace and Joy!
Stay safe and take care for a New Year full of hope for better times ahead!!

Tomorrow Saturday 18th December, 11.00am to 12noon.
With a gentle breeze and very little chance of rain, just wrap up warm, bring your neighbours & friends, grab a takeaway drink from a local Crosspool café and enjoy Christmas Carolling with a Brass Quartet playing in the Crosspool Precinct.
The Musicians all play in different brass bands and love getting together at Christmas for carolling. They will have a collection bucket and voluntary donations are very much appreciated which will go towards the running costs of their bands.
Thank you so much!
You have until Wednesday 22nd December to comment on the proposal to erect a 20 m EE mast at the CDYST, Coldwell Lane.

It was always anticipated that the spread of the Covid virus would intensify in the colder winter weather.
In response to the rising infection rates, following the arrival of the Omicron Variant in the UK, you now must wear a face-covering in most indoor public places, at large venues and events, and on public transport.
In the week up to November 26th, there were twenty- eight new cases in Sandygate and Crosspool; an infection rate of 444.2 per 100,000 people.
Please take care when visiting friends, relatives, and the vulnerable.
We must do what we can to protect everyone & our NHS:-
Face – Space – Vaccinate
Last year the Plough Inn on Sandygate Road escaped demolition after plans to turn the site into eight new three-bedroom townhouses were refused by Sheffield Council.
Following an appeal this decision has now been overturned by the planning inspector, allowing the developers’ plans to go ahead. See full report in the “Sheffield Star”.
