An update from Amey, which came via our councillors, on flash flooding in Crosspool:
Further to concerns over Cardoness Road, Barholm Road and Dransfield Road from recent flash flooding we would like to confirm that our design engineers have been working hard to investigate and find a remedy for this issue.
Unfortunately this isnt a quick fix and we need to ensure that the correct resolution is found for this issue to avoid any recurrence in the future.
We are meeting with our contractor this week to discuss further and will keep you updated with our intentions moving forward.
Thanks to Crosspool Forum volunteers who helped put them up this morning.

A message from Gillian Drinkwater, Secretary and Trustee of Crosspool and District Youth Sports Trust (CDYST):
CDYST wishes to thank the Henry Boot Community First Endowment Fund for South Yorkshire for its generous grant in December 2015.
This has allowed the trustees to buy more orange barrier netting, new shepherd’s crook fencing pins and some keep off the grass signs. These are used every spring when we close the Coldwell Lane under 11s pitches for essential summer maintenance – the expensive hollow-tining, reseeding, weedkiller spraying and fertilizer spreading – and our old materials were getting very shabby.
The grant was obtained with the kind assistance of the South Yorkshire Community Foundation.
Residents can expect disruption for the next three weeks as the main roads in Crookes are resurfaced, starting from Monday.
Heavygate Road, Northfield Road, Crookes and Crookes Road will all be closed between 7pm and 7am.
There will be no on-street parking on these roads.
