Wanted: your spring bulb planting ideas

Each autumn, members of Crosspool Forum and local residents plant spring bulbs in some of our public spaces and verges in order to brighten up the community with flowers in the spring.

We’ve ordered some more bulbs and want your suggestions for places in Crosspool where we could consider planting them. So if you know a bit of land or area that would benefit from a splash of colour then let us know by filling in the form below. We need your ideas by the end of September.

If you’re interested in lending an hour or two of your time to help plant the bulbs in October then look out for details on here.

Lydgate Green clean up: your help is required!

The Friends of Lydgate Green are organising a day to work on the flower beds.

They’re inviting anyone interested in helping to come along from 10am. It’s a family affair, the more the merrier – bring your forks, spades, barrows & buckets!

There are gaps to be filled so any spare perennials for donation are also very welcome.

Lydgate Lane to close for a month

Lydgate Lane is to close between Crookes Road and Ryegate Crescent from Monday 9 May for essential water mains work.

The road is due to reopen on 7 June 2011. If you have queries then the helpline for contractors Balfour Beatty is 0800 121 4444.

The bottom section of Lydgate Lane, around the Grindstone is already closed, with a diversion running via Nairn Street and Bute Street.

Last summer, Manchester Road and Glossop Road closed for the replacement of gas mains, but they reopened nearly a month early as the work took less time than originally anticipated.

Crosspool Spring clean: thanks for your help!

Enthusiastic young people join in Crosspool's Spring Clean

Crosspool folk sprang into action last Saturday to clean up our neighbourhood.

As part of Sheffield’s third Annual Spring Clean, a dozen or so local residents, both young and old met at 10am on Saturday outside Direct Travel on Sandygate Road.

After brief introductions, the group dispersed in small teams to various locations where there was litter to clear up.

Despite the wind and the rain, and having to deal with obstacles including parts of a discarded piano, everyone enjoyed the camaraderie of the morning and the satisfaction of what was achieved.

We hope to arrange another group clean up for some date in the future so keep your eye on this website and the Crosspool Clarion for details.

Crosspool Spring clean: get involved

As part of Sheffield’s third annual spring clean, Crosspool Forum is arranging for local residents to join together to help to keep where we live clean.

Weather permitting, we initially plan to meet up on the area in front of Direct Travel on Sandygate Road this coming Saturday 2 April at 10am, before moving off to spend a couple of hours cleaning up the neighbourhood.

You don’t need any specialist cleaning skills, just a bit of enthusiasm!

Cleaning materials will be provided. So that we can ensure we have enough materials, please can you let Ian Hague know if you wish to be part of the group: telephone 0114 335 1674 or email crosspoolforum@fs.mail.net.

Wooden bollards installed on Stephen Hill

Following last month’s installation of grass verge protection, a further set of wooden bollards have now been built on Stephen Hill.

The bollards prevent vehicles from mounting the grass verge areas between the pavement and the road.

The area around the bollards has been replanted with grass seed.

Grass verge protection measures installed in Crosspool

Two sets of wooden bollards have been installed in response to concerns over damage to grass verges by vehicles.

A set of four of the bollards are located on Marsh Lane at its junction with Lydgate Lane, and a further four are adjacent to 42/46 Tapton Hill Road. They are funded by the South West Community Assembly.

The bollards prevent vehicles from mounting the grass verge areas between the pavement and the road. Their arrival follows requests from local residents worried about erosion.

Cars are now prevented from parking on grass verges
