This morning it seems a child’s small pink bike was left outside Motor World in Crosspool.
We’re not sure if it was abandoned, stolen or simply forgotton about, but if you know the owner please can you get them to call Si on 0114 268 4479 so the bike and owner can be reunited.
The back brake is damaged, so this may be the reason it was left there.
The CDYST trustees have asked if anyone wants to claim these items of lost property before they’re donated to charity:
If you think one of the items is yours then please contact Gillian Drinkwater on g.m.drinkwater@btinternet.com.
Churchgoers at St Columba’s are inviting Crosspool residents to join them for prayers for peace in Gaza/Israel on Wednesdays throughout August at 8.30pm.
A Crosspool resident who had their handbag stolen from their house this week is warning people to be vigilant.
The person living on Tapton Crescent Road was in their garden with the back door open when the front doorbell rang. There was no-one there when they answered the door but on returning to the garden they saw their handbag had been stolen from inside their back door.
This theft follows reports from the local police at last night’s Open Meeting of washing from three different clothes lines being stolen on one day in the recent warm weather.
The resurfacing of Cairns Road for the Streets Ahead project has been delayed until the end of September so that some of the road’s trees can be removed.
It was due to take place the week commencing 14 July but inspections have revealed that a number of trees need to be removed because they are causing damage to the road.
This work has been rescheduled for the week commencing 29 September. Residents will be written to nearer the time to confirm dates.
Amey have confirmed that any trees removed from Cairns Road will be replaced.
Crosspool Forum’s next Open Meeting will take place on Thursday 31 July at St Columba’s church. It starts at 7pm.
Come along and give your concerns on local issues to local councillors, the police and officials.
Guest speakers this time include:

A Crosspool classic car owner is looking for other enthusiasts in the community to start a club.
Local resident Gavin Holliday, owner of a 1973 MG Midget, is keen to set up a very informal club to help owners can share knowledge, tips and get together for occasional runs and beer. He’d like like the club to reflect all classic marques or interesting vehicles.
If you’re interested then please email Gavin at thelandisbright@gmail.com.
