Kathy Marwick is now preparing for the next Friendship Lunch at the Crosspool Tavern on Monday 13th November at 12 noon.
These events are the result of Kathy’s dedication and enthusiasm for reaching out to those who feel isolated or alone. She believes that everyone deserves to have meaningful social interactions and opportunities to participate in activities that enrich their lives. Kathy has worked hard to create a welcoming and supportive environment for all the attendees, and she hopes that you will come and enjoy these events as much as she does.
These events are fun and welcoming, and they provide a great opportunity for those living on their own to socialise and enjoy themselves.
Kathy understands how hard and stressful it can be for families and carers who look after their loved ones. This is an opportunity for them to also have a break from their daily routine and find some solace.
Some of the guests may not recall the event later, but they will surely have had a good time while they are there, and that matters a lot.
The UK will switch from BST to GMT tomorrow Sunday 29th October at 2am. This means that the clocks will be adjusted backward by one hour, from 2am to 1am. GMT is the standard time zone for the UK during the winter months.
A planning application has been submitted for a new detached house with a basement garage and the provision of a public footpath to an adjacent site.
The proposed development on Land at the corner of Moorbank Drive & Coldwell Lane Crosspool, Sheffield S10 5TH, involves the removal of three mature trees that are currently under a Tree Preservation Order. (Tree Preservation Order No. 808/296) The trees are of high amenity value and contribute to the character and appearance of the area. Felling the trees would result in a significant loss of biodiversity and green infrastructure, and would be contrary to the local and national planning policies that seek to protect and enhance the natural environment.
The deadline for public comments is 8th November 2023. You can view the details and submit your feedback online Sheffield City Council Planning Apps 23/01906/FUL.
