Money raised from last summer’s Crosspool Festival has helped provide new community facilities at Crosspool & District Youth Sports Trust (CDYST).
A new basket swing with safety flooring can be found in the Coldwell Lane playground and is available for all under 10s to use.
Money from festival events, along with a Sheffield City Council grant, paid for the new equipment.
Several Crosspool roads will be gritted this winter following the results of a public consultation into winter road maintenance.
Council chiefs have changed their mind on the gritting of 141 roads. Local streets including Hagg Hill, Coldwell Lane, Stephen Hill, Watt Lane, Back Lane and Bole Hill Road will now be included on gritting routes.

If you think one of the items is yours then please contact Gillian Drinkwater on g.m.drinkwater@btinternet.com.

Several roads in Crosspool are included in a list of streets that will no longer be gritted if new proposals come into force in October.
The Sheffield City Council winter road maintenance proposals affect 100 miles of road in the city and have come about due to cuts in funding from central government.
Affected local streets include Hagg Hill, Coldwell Lane, Stephen Hill, Watt Lane and Back Lane. You can see these streets highlighted on the council’s interactive online map.
For the full list of roads, download this PDF (660KB) and see the roads at the bottom marked ‘remove all’.
Residents are being invited to give their views on the proposals. You have until Friday 25 July 2014 to comment.

Dog walkers have been asked to clear up after their dogs when using the Coldwell Lane CDYST pitch and surrounding ground.
The trustees of Crosspool & District Youth Sports Trust (CDYST) and Crosspool Juniors Football Club report an increase in the amount of dog mess not being collected, bagged and taken home.
Trust secretary Mrs Gillian Drinkwater explained: “This is a serious issue of great concern to everyone in the local community, especially in view of the number of children who use the area. The trustees would like to point out this is private ground and we might have to consider closing the site to dog walkers if the problem continues.”
Crosspool Juniors is looking for a new goalkeeper to join the U9s team for the season 2013-14.
From September they will play most Sunday mornings through until March/April 2014. Our home ground is at Coldwell Lane. Away fixtures can be as far away as Rotherham.
If you think that your son would be interested in joining the team then please drop jrwales@gmail.com an email with name, school and any experience they may already have.
They should currently be in Y3, moving up to Y4 in September and should not be linked to any other club.
Plans for the fourth Crosspool Festival are progressing well. Make sure you have the dates in your diary: Friday 28 June–Sunday 7 July. The full programme and ticket details will be available in May, but in the meantime the first details from Frances Eccleston and the Festival Committee about some events are below.
Lots of other events are in the pipeline too, so look out for the programme in May, and we’ll also keep you posted through this website.
The organising committee is looking for someone to help design posters and fliers for the festival. This would suit someone with computer skills and a bit of artistic flair, and who could spare a few hours in early May.
For more information contact Frances Eccleston on f.m.eccleston@gmail.com or 0114 267 0006.
