A local scout and cub group was victim to wood thieves last weekend.
Timber pallets were delivered to Stephen Hill Scout Group last Friday afternoon in preparation for their fundraising bonfire on Sunday night in Calver Field, off Hagg Lane.
But between Friday and Sunday the wood went missing, forcing organisers to go ahead with fireworks but no bonfire.
The annual event raises valuable funds for the group.
Over the past seven or eight years, Crosspool Forum has planted some thirty thousand spring bulbs in and around Crosspool.
A big thank you to the dozen or so volunteers of all ages and abilities who kindly gave up an hour of their time on a bright sunny Saturday morning last weekend to plant 4,000 crocus and daffodils bulbs on Stephen Hill, Manchester Road and on the Dransfield Road/Watt Lane triangle.
The community of Crosspool can be assured of an even better show of colour next spring.
You are invited to Crosspool Forum’s Open Meeting and eighth AGM on Thursday 27 October at St Columba’s Church. It starts at 7pm.

Benty lane /Stephen Hill junction with Manchester Road
Thanks for all your ideas for where to plant our spring bulbs. The three locations earmarked to receive this year’s allocation are the top of Stephen Hill, the triangle at the junction of Watt lane and Dransfield Road and on Manchester Road, possibly between the two churches.
Can you spare an hour on Saturday 15 October to help Crosspool Forum plant them on grass verges near to where you live? We’ll be meeting at 10am on the verge in front of the Crosspool Tavern.
If you fancy popping along then telephone 0114 335 1674, email crosspoolforum@fsmail.net or just turn up. You don’t need to bring anything, but if you do have a small spade then please bring it along.
A pop-up gallery opened yesterday in the upstairs room at Artisan restaurant in Crosspool.
