Lydgate Green Memorial unveiling ceremony, 2.30pm, Saturday 23rd November
The community of Crosspool is warmly invited to attend the unveiling ceremony of a memorial stone in honour of the late councillor Anne Marie Murphy. Her unwavering dedication and service to the community as both Councillor and Lord Mayor from 2017 to 2018, has left an indelible mark in the hearts and minds of those she served.
This memorial will stand as a testament to a commitment to public service and the positive impact she made on our community.
The ceremony, which will take place in Lydgate Green at 2.30pm on Saturday 23rd November, will be a moment to reflect on her legacy and celebrate the values she championed.
We hope to see many of you there to pay tribute to a remarkable lady who made a difference in Crosspool.

The Mayor’s Free Trees for Communities Scheme is once again taking orders. The scheme gives packs of trees to communities across South Yorkshire to support help us plant more trees, and to make the region cleaner, greener and better off.
Trees are not just a great way to take carbon out of our atmosphere and fight climate change, they also help to protect against flooding, promote biodiversity, and improve wellbeing.
The South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority is a partnership of four local authorities led by Mayor Oliver Coppard, working together to create a stronger, greener, fairer South Yorkshire.
Don’t forget to put your clocks back by one hour, from 2am to 1am, this Sunday, 27th October.
The transition from British Summer Time (BST) to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is an annual adjustment that marks the end of daylight-saving time in the UK. This shift not only signifies a change in timekeeping but also symbolizes the transition into the winter season, with shorter days and longer nights. It’s a reminder for residents to enjoy an extra hour of sleep and to prepare for the colder months ahead.
The South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) has initiated a major consultation on the future of bus services in the region.
This 12-week public consultation is a critical opportunity for residents and stakeholders to express their views on the proposed bus franchising scheme, which could see SYMCA taking control of bus operations, including routes, timetables, and fares.
The aim is to improve the reliability and efficiency of the bus network for the public benefit. Everyone is encouraged to participate and contribute to shaping the future of South Yorkshire’s public transport.
