Meeting to discuss future of Broomhill library

Broomhill Forum is to hold a public meeting at 10.30am on Saturday 9 November at the Beacon Methodist Church, Fulwood Road, Broomhill, to discuss the future of Broomhill library and give people the chance to have their say.

The council have announced that 12 libraries across Sheffield are facing closure as part of planned budget cuts. Residents of Broomhill and Crosspool have also started an online petition to keep Broomhill library open.

Consultation on Broomhill Crookes Road junction changes

Local residents are being consulted on two options to make it easier to cross the road in Broomhill at the Crookes Road/Fulwood Road/Nile Street/Whitham Road junction.

One proposal would see vehicles banned from turning left from Fulwood Road into Crookes Road and an extra crossing inserted on Fulwood Road between the benches outside Cream coffee shop and Help the Aged:

The other option includes a slip road from Fulwood Road up to Crookes Road and would result in the loss of two parking spaces from the adjacent shopping parade.

Any changes will be of interest to readers of this website as they could indirectly affect the flow of traffic on both Lydgate Lane and also Manchester Road, two of the key routes up to Crosspool.

A Sheffield Star article says that members of Broomhill Forum have indicated a preference for the second option but final judgement is being reserved until more views are known.
