The weather was warm and sunny for the Lydgate Green clean up morning!
Although having to observe social distancing and as a result work individually with their own fork & spade, all were pleased to have had the opportunity to help keep this valuable facility ship shape for the community to enjoy.
With the onset of autumn the “Friends of Lydgate Green” are hopeful that the weather and the regulations remain favourable for their final tidy up hour, planned for 10am Saturday 24th October.
The “Friends of Lydgate Green” are organising a green clean up day for this Saturday!
Friends of Lydgate Green, a small group of local residents who have made themselves responsible for the upkeep of Lydgate green at the corner of Lydgate Lane /Lydgate Hall Crescent in Crosspool, are organising a day to work on the flower beds at the Green.
This Saturday 19th September, for a couple of hours from 10am, volunteers will be weeding, moving plants, litter picking and generally tidying up the area.
It’s a family affair, anyone interested in helping are invited to come along.
Ever mindful of the current pandemic and social distancing, please bring your own gloves, forks, spades & buckets!
There are gaps to be filled, so any spare perennials for donation are also very welcome.

The calendar photographs have been selected from the forums collection of photographs submitted by local residents.
Any money raised from the sale of the Calendars will go to help promote local events and improve neighbourhood amenities.
This Saturday’s (12 Sept) car boot sale at the Crosspool Tavern has been cancelled.
Due to circumstances beyond our control, and last night’s government announcement, reluctantly the Crosspool Forum has had to “Cancel” this Saturdays Crosspool Tavern Car Boot Sale
Looking forward to hosting this event, we empathise with everyone for any inconvenience caused.
Hopefully, if guidelines allow, our next car boot sale will be early June next year.
Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.
Stay safe

Broomhill parking bay closure.
As a result of the temporary closure of the parking bays in the Broomhill shopping precinct and the potential devastating effect the new pedestrian arrangements and loss of short stay parking will have on local trade, Williamson Hardware has posted a petition on change.org requesting that the Sheffield City Council remove these temporary changes as soon as possible.
To give pedestrians more space for social distancing, The Sheffield City Council has temporarily closed the angled parking bays in the Broomhill shopping precinct, on Fulwood Road.
The footways on Glossop Road, between Fulwood Road and Peel Street and between Peel Street and the end of the pavement opposite Westbourne Road, have also been temporarily extended by 1.5metres, to give additional footway space
As these measures are only intended to be a temporary social distancing measure, the Sheffield City Council would welcome your feedback on them.
If they work well, and local businesses and residents are happy with the changes, the council have suggested that they may possibly consider, if they work well for everyone and after a full consultation process with local businesses and residents, look at making these changes permanent.
