Your views wanted on the future of our Community Assemblies – deadline Monday

The council is consulting on the future of Community Assemblies. Four main proposals are on the table in response to cuts in government funding and a reduction in services.

Crosspool is part of South West Community Assembly. Community Assemblies currently help decide how services in Sheffield are delivered. The idea is that many decisions that were made in the town hall – including how to spend a Community Assembly budget – are now made within communities via assemblies.

The deadline for responding to the proposals with your comments is tomorrow, Monday 28 January 2013.

Read more about the proposals and fill in the online feedback form.

You can also telephone 0114 273 5299 to give your opinion, or complete a questionnaire over the phone with a member of staff.

Two new floral tubs confirmed for Manchester Road

The space outside Crosspool Tavern where two new planters will be located
The space outside Crosspool Tavern where two new planters will be located

Two new planters will be installed at the former entrance to Crosspool Tavern on Manchester Road.

The location will allow for continued pedestrian access to the pelican crossing, the pub entrance and the pavement in front of the pub.

The tubs will be delivered with soil and planting already prepared and Crosspool Forum will take on their future maintenance. An exact date for their arrival has not yet been confirmed.

This former entrance to the Tavern’s car park was earmarked for landscaping as part of the S10 corridor scheme in 2005, although this has not yet happened. The two new floral tubs are expected to make access to the pelican crossing safer.

In 2010 and 2011 Crosspool received Sheffield in Bloom awards for the quality of our floral displays in the precinct.

20mph speed limit area consultation

Information from the South West Community Assembly about the proposed 20mph scheme. Consultation meetings run by the South West Community Assembly are taking place locally in Crookes and Fulwood the week commencing 23 January – see below.

We may get some feedback to report at Crosspool Forum’s Open Meeting on the 26 January.

20mph zone public information and Q&A session

Later this year Sheffield councillors will be looking at the potential for 20mph zones in Sheffield.

So that members of the public are better placed to feed into this process the South West Community Assembly is holding a number of Information Sessions in the local area.

Highways and Road Safety Officers will present information on 20mph Zones and be on hand to answer your questions at these sessions. We will also ask you about the areas that you feel should be a priority.

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.
