Due to dangerous weather conditions, we have reluctantly had to cancel today’s Christmas tree recycling event in Crosspool, outside Direct Travel . The safety of our community is our top priority.
We have rescheduled the event for Sunday, 19th of January. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding. Thank you for your cooperation.
The festive season often leads to increased waste, particularly with discarded Christmas trees contributing to landfill issues. To address this, residents of Crosspool can participate in the Crosspool Forum’s annual Christmas tree recycling initiative, which provides an eco-friendly disposal solution. This program involves a tree-shredding service funded by small donations from residents. The initiative has successfully processed hundreds of trees in recent years, significantly reducing landfill waste.
Drag your Christmas tree down to the forecourt of Direct Travel on Sunday 5th January 2025, between 10am and 11.30am were Andrew Clayton, a local tree specialist, will be ready to recycle it for you. The shredded material will be used for mulching and composting purposes.
By opting for this recycling program instead of traditional disposal methods, residents help mitigate pollution and promote sustainability. Ultimately, the Crosspool Forum’s initiative not only facilitates responsible tree disposal but also supports local community projects, making it a beneficial choice for environmentally conscious residents looking for convenient, eco-friendly solutions following the festive season.
The Crosspool Forum is grateful to Direct Travel for their generous support and cooperation in this project. They hope to see many Crosspool residents participate and contribute to the community’s environmental aims.
Christmas is about sharing experiences, creating traditions, and expressing generosity, kindness, and compassion. Gratitude is central to the spirit of Christmas, reminding us to appreciate our blessings and give back to our community. By embracing these values throughout the year, we can keep the essence of Christmas alive in our hearts and communities, making every moment significant.
May the New Year bring you all the happiness, success, and prosperity you deserve, along with sense of hope and community throughout the year.

To bring joy and friendship to the Crosspool community, today the Crosspool Forum hosted their annual Children’s Christmas Party at St Columba’s Church. A magical festive afternoon of fun, music and refreshments for the children and their families.
The highlight of the party was the magical and entertaining performance by Barney Baloney and Henry the Cheeky Monkey. Barney Baloney, a talented magician and entertainer, had the children and their families captivated with his incredible magic tricks and illusions. The children were in awe as Barney performed his tricks, making objects disappear and reappear before their very eyes. Henry’s antics added an element of surprise and delight to the show, as he caused chaos and mayhem. Delighted by Henry’s antics, their laughter and smiles filled the room with joy and laughter. Thoroughly enjoying the entertainment and the chance to celebrate the Christmas season together, the parents and guardians were delighted to see their little ones having such a wonderful time.
The Crosspool Forum had worked tirelessly to organize the party, ensuring that every detail was taken care of to make the afternoon special for the children. From the entertainment, the amazing raffle prizes and Christmas gifts, to the delicious refreshments, every aspect of the event was designed for fun and laughter.
As the party drew to a close, the sense of community and friendship was palpable.
