Two new planters will be installed at the former entrance to Crosspool Tavern on Manchester Road.
The location will allow for continued pedestrian access to the pelican crossing, the pub entrance and the pavement in front of the pub.
The tubs will be delivered with soil and planting already prepared and Crosspool Forum will take on their future maintenance. An exact date for their arrival has not yet been confirmed.
This former entrance to the Tavern’s car park was earmarked for landscaping as part of the S10 corridor scheme in 2005, although this has not yet happened. The two new floral tubs are expected to make access to the pelican crossing safer.
In 2010 and 2011 Crosspool received Sheffield in Bloom awards for the quality of our floral displays in the precinct.
Thanks for all your ideas for where to plant our spring bulbs. The three locations earmarked to receive this year’s allocation are the top of Stephen Hill, the triangle at the junction of Watt lane and Dransfield Road and on Manchester Road, possibly between the two churches.
Can you spare an hour on Saturday 15 October to help Crosspool Forum plant them on grass verges near to where you live? We’ll be meeting at 10am on the verge in front of the Crosspool Tavern.
If you fancy popping along then telephone 0114 335 1674, email crosspoolforum@fsmail.net or just turn up. You don’t need to bring anything, but if you do have a small spade then please bring it along.
