Concern Over the Future of Moor View Farm Summer 2012 The Official Newsletter of the Crosspool Forum Volume 9 Issue 2 Having a voice . Making a difference TM. 0ver 2700 copies delivered quarterly Crosspool News — crosspool.info Editor Ian Hague Concern over the future of Moor View Farm At a recent Open Meeting, concerns were raised by local residents, after those neighbouring Moor View Farm on Manchester Road had indicated that they were in receipt of a letter saying that demolition of the farm (known locally as Gosney’s farm) was due to take place on Monday 30th April 2012. Crookes Councillor Geoff Smith confirmed at the meeting that to his knowledge, no application to de- molish it or for planning permission has been received by the council. Those of you, who were up and about on Manchester Road around 8am on Monday 30th March, may have seen three men loitering near Moor View farm on Manchester Road. They were Ian and Steve from the Crosspool Forum, and Cllr. Geoff Smith. We were there just in case there was a demolition attempt. Fortunately we did not have to draw straws to decide which of us was going to dive in front of a bulldozer. There was no attempted demolition. The Building Regulations office has NOT given his permission to demolish the property and has sent a letter to the selling agent informing them that demolition cannot go ahead without a bat survey and a planning application being submitted for consideration. Cllr. Geoff Smith has been assured by the relevant Council officers that both the owners and the agent are fully aware that prior applications to the Planning Dept. and a bat survey have to be carried out before demoli- tion can take place. There is still some doubt as to the grounds on which the Planning Dept can insist that a full planning type application is made. But for the moment a prior application has not been made and a bat survey has not been completed. We will keep you informed. If, though, you see any activity around the farm that looks like dem- olition or preparations to demolish please let Cllr. Geoff Smith know, who can be contacted on 07581 214 783, or contact Ian on 0114 335 1674 [email protected] In This Issue Gosney’s Farm Forensic Marking The World’s Your Oyster Local councillors, the police & council officials will be Police Report on hand to listen to your concerns on local issues.

We met at the Sportsman’s pub and departed from there at 8.30 a.m. The journey went well until we met up with a learner driver who as it happens was going over the Snake Pass the same as we were. The speed limit over the pass is 50mph but we and lots more cars finished up doing nearer to 30mph all the way to Glossop where we lost this driver. We arrived at the centre around 10.00a.m. Three tours had been arranged, two groups of 20 and one group of 10, each one lasting about an hour and an half. The tour was led by a couple of nice and well informed young ladies. We started in one of the radio studios and were shown the equipment which the broadcasters use and how it was used. We then went to the building which covers and broadcasts sport, 24 hours a day. We did not go into the building only into the entrance foyer. From there we went into the T.V. area and paid a visit to the Blue Peter studio. We were told how things worked and shown a group of Blue Peter badges. There are six in all. From there we went into a mock-up of the Breakfast studio. Volunteers were asked to take the part of presenters and weather forecaster. Three of us volunteered. It was a bit of fun. In the same area was a set for Question of Sport. Three more people volunteered to be the panel. Following this the tour came to an end. It was well worth the visit. Whilst the other members of the party did the tour we went for a walk around the area. Close by is the War Museum which you can go round. Further down and across a bridge is the Lowry Outlet Centre and opposite this is the Lowry Theatre and Gallery. The gallery houses pictures painted by Lowry and there is also a short film about his life. When all the tours had finished we all got back on the coach and went to a hotel for a very nice meal. .We arrived back at around 8.30p.m without any learner driver in front of us! I would like to say a big thank you to Ian and Steve for arranging things and making this a great day out. Tony Day New Councillor for Crosspool I want to thank everyone in the Crookes ward who came out to support on the 3rd of May.

    Woodland & Trees Headlines • Using our standard methods, 14.8% or 5,454ha of Sheffield is classed as woodland. Data gathered during the recent iTree project suggest even greater coverage of 5,946ha or 16.2%, substantially higher than the national figure of 10%. Total tree cover for the Sheffield district, calculated by iTree, is 18.4%. • 23.5% of Sheffield’s lowland woodland is categorised as ancient semi-natural woodland (ASNW) or plantations on ancient woodland sites (PAWS). This covers 3.5% of the Sheffield district and is higher than the figure of 2.3% for the UK. • Sheffield’s woodlands are a valuable recreational resource. Ninety-four percent of people have access to a large woodland (20ha) within 4km of their residence and nearly half of Sheffield’s population has access to a 2ha woodland within 500m. • Over half of Sheffield’s woodlands are covered by designations such as Local Wildlife Sites (LWSs) and 63% of land with LWS designation is woodland. Most sites are improving; over 70% of woodland habitat within LWSs is in positive conservation management. Over 92% of ancient woodland is covered by a site designation. • Compared to UK trends, bird species considered in the UK Biodiversity Indicator ‘C5b: woodland birds’ are doing well, particularly woodland generalists, indicating the good health of Sheffield’s woodlands. • Threats to woodlands in Sheffield include habitat fragmentation, damage from recreation and spread of invasive species from gardens. Continued improvements in woodland management, including the input of local groups, can help tackle this.
