CDYST trustees ask visitors to be vigilant
Trustees at Crosspool & District Youth Sports Trust (CDYST) have noticed that twice in the last month someone has tried to gain access to the mower storage shed around the back by pulling off the door handle and trying to wedge something in to break open the lock.
They’re asking anyone passing to keep an eye on the Coldwell Lane property – especially round the back – and report anything suspicious by calling 101 or contacting the trustees.
Disruption to 51 bus service next week
Update 6 August: Looks like the shuttle bus may be in use now.
Update 3 August: After all the fuss, it seems the 51 is going via Manchester Road/Coldwell Lane after all.
31 July, 9am update: First Bus have announced that they will provide a free shuttle bus between Crosspool and Brook Hill. This will operate every 30 minutes between approximately 7.30am and 6.30pm. No fares will be charged – this is to feed into the main 51 bus.
The 51 bus service will not run along part of Sandygate Road next week during the day due to road improvement works for the Streets Ahead project.
From Monday 3 to Friday 7 August, from 7am-7pm each day, 51 buses will run between Broomhill and Sandygate along Fulwood Road, Gladstone Road, Ivy Park Road, Carsick Hill Road and re-join the normal route on Sandygate Road to and form Lodge Moor.
Buses on services 273, 274 and 275 are not affected and will still run along Manchester Road and along Benty Lane and Sandygate Road travelling towards the city centre through Crosspool as normal.
At the Crosspool Forum Open Meeting last night concerns were raised in particular about families not being able to easily access Ryegate Children’s Centre on Manchester Road.

CDYST cycle track plans halted
They explain:
For numerous reasons and after careful consideration of all the issues involved, the CDTST trustees have decided that unfortunately it is not feasible for the proposed cycle track to go ahead.
The research that we have done and the negotiations that we have had has lead us to believe that the work is untenable.
We thank everyone who took the time to respond with their comments about the intended project.
51 bus changes consultation
The Sheffield Bus Partnership is asking residents to give their views on proposed changes to local bus routes:
- The 51 bus would take a revised route via East Bank Road instead of Eastern Avenue
- Journeys on the 120 route that currently terminate at Hallamshire hospital would be extended to Ranmoor
- No changes are proposed to the 52 service
You have until Friday 31 July to give your feedback.
