IT’S A FAIR COP! First images of new police HQ in Everton revealed Report by Tom Martin THIS is how a new £45million police headquarters in Everton will look like after the first images were revealed.

The state-of-the-art facility will be the new home for Merseyside Police when it is built on a brownfield patch of land on Scotland Road, known as Estuary Business Park.

The building will be four-storeys high and big enough to house 850 officers.

It is hoped the new facility can be opened in May 2020 if the planing application is given the go-ahead by Liverpool City Council.

Images have now been published by Ryder Architecture which shows both the outside and inside of the modern headquarters.

A statement by the firm says: “A considerable number of jobs will be created during construction of this key site off Scotland Road on a key route which has been vacant for some time.

“The proposal has been architecturally designed to ensure the application site will be developed to enhance the area as a whole.

“Workplace transformation is at the heart of the design and the majority of the functions unless operationally sensitive will be located within open plan environments.

“Operational efficiency and movement flow has shaped the design with clarity of organisation a fundamental driver for both the site layout and building arrangement.”

The new headquarters will replace the current home of Merseyside Police, in the city centre's Canning Street.

MP backs campaign for government to rethink free school meals changes MORE than 5,000 children in Sefton could miss out on the benefits of a free school meal if new government proposals on universal credit are approved.

Bootle MP Peter Dowd has backed a campaign by The Children’s Society which is lobbying the government to rethink the plans.

On current benefits, families stop qualifying for free meals when they are working 16 hours a week and switch to working tax

credit. The government is now proposing households will stop being eligible for the meals when they are earning £7,400 a year (excluding benefits).

According to The Children’s Society, these proposals will mean one million children living in poverty will miss out on the benefits of a free school meal and locally this will mean 5,460 children in Sefton missing out.

MP Dowd said: “Labour have always stood up for the benefits

of free school meals on a child’s education and health and alleviating persistent child poverty levels in our society.

“That is why the proposals on the future of free school meals under Universal Credit are deeply concerning and show how this government is out of touch.

“These changes will affect many local families, especially the poorest in my constituency, and it is important the Government rethinks their approach.”

Councils set to face strict limits on buying commercial properties Report by Tom Martin COUNCILS are to be face strict limits on how much they can borrow to invest in commercial properties over concerns they are putting taxpayers’ money and local services at risk.

The Department for Communities & Local Government (DCLG) will bring in new rules to stop local authorities from borrowing money to fund the purchases unless they benefit local residents.

The Strand Shopping Centre, in Bootle Sefton Council’s purchase of the Strand Shopping Centre, in Bootle, came under scrutiny from some after it the public gets value for money from its taxes.

He added: “As a former member of parliament’s Public emerged they forked out £32million for the deal.

The local authority said at the time that the income gen- Accounts Committee, I have been urging them to look at erated by the Strand will “more than cover” the loan this area and the costs and risks to the public purse.

“My worry is that what looks a smart deal at the time to repayment costs and the centre’s running costs, meaning enough money left over to contribute to much needed a few councillors in a closed meeting will as the years roll on end up as a huge financial albatross around the neck of local services.

The new rules include the purchase of shopping all Sefton residents.”

Cllr Ian Maher, leader at Sefton Council, said: “The centres, retail parks and supermarkets.

“However, our fundamental purpose was to benefit our cial property prices.

New state-of-the-art police HQ in Everton moves a step closer From page 1 The move to Everton will help the force save £15.5m overall, compared to the cost of keeping Canning Place, which was built in 1977 and is in “urgent need of essential repairs.”

Included within the proposals are a number of social value targets, including 600 weeks’ work for apprentices and student workshops for nearly 700 people. The development site, largely owned by Liverpool City Council, is bound by Scotland Road, St Anne Street and the approach road to the Queensway tunnel.

Also included within the plans is a multi-storey car park with a total of 578 spaces to ensure there is no impact on the access or parking needs of nearby residents and businesses.

Woman, 18, charged for naming sexual assault victims on social media Accused is first person in Merseyside to face courts for posting such messages online Report by Tom Martin

Kevan Till

A WOMAN has become the first person in Merseyside to be charged with posting the names of sexual assault victims on social media.

Sophie Turner, 18 years, of Davidson Road, Old Swan, will appear at Liverpool Magistrates Court on March 7 after she was accused of posting social media messages on July 25, 2017.

It followed the sentencing of Jamie William Turner, 25, of Davidson Road, Old Swan and Myles Alexander Bell, 22, of Makin Street, Walton to 12 years in prison each for sexual activity with a child and inciting a child into sexual activity.

Sophie Turner has been charged with two counts of publishing the names of the victims of a sexual offence and two counts of harassment.

Turner and Bell were jailed for getting two young girls age between 14-17 drunk before abusing and filming them.

The men exploited them, often getting them

Tributes paid to dad who was murdered on New Year’s Day Schoolboy scrambler TRIBUTES have been paid to an Anfield dad who was murdered at a flat on New Year’s Day. On Monday, January 1 Kevan Till, 53, was attackedon Rocky Lane at around 2am and suffered a serious injury to his head.

The victim was pronounced dead later in hospital and a Home Office post mortem confirmed that he died of a blunt force head injury.

A family statement reads: “Although we hadn’t seen each other for a long time Kevan was a great dad.

“It’s lovely to hear that he had lots of friends, he was well respected and liked by everyone he met.

“He is now at peace and his family are looking forward to getting to know him again through his friends.”

A man has appeared in court on suspicion of murder following the attack. Dominic Steven Jones, 45, from Tuebrook, appeared at Liverpool Magistrates Court on Tuesday, January 2 and was remanded in custody. He is expected to enter a plea at a further hearing on February 2 before a trial set for June 18.

Myles Bell and Jamie Turner were each sentenced to 12 years jail for sexual activity with a child

intoxicated, before abusing them and sometimes filming sexual acts and threatening to release the footage if they did not agree to further commands.

Myles Bell was convicted of having sexual activity with a child on at least 15 occasions and inciting a

At Liverpool Crown Court on Tuesday, January 2, the 14-year-old from north Liverpool admitted causing death by dangerous driving and an additional count of dangerous driving.

He was released on bail ahead of the next hearing to be held on February 2.

Pupils meet Little Mix star!

YOUNGSTERS from an Anfield school were left star struck after they not only met the Liverpool FC squad but also Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards!

Children from Whitefield Primary School were invited to watch the Reds play Swansea in a recent Premier League match, and they greeted the players as they arrived at the stadium.

Once inside, they were given a VIP matchday experience, including a threecourse meal and a special visit from Little Mix star Perrie, who called in to meet the

youngsters prior to kick-off.

Also invited to the match were guests from local charities CHICS, Owen McVeigh Foundation and KIND, who all enjoyed the experience as the Reds ran out 5-0 winners.

The Reds' final game of 2017 against Leicester City was attended by members of Pinehurst Community Green, which is a local volunteering organisation who focus on food poverty and education in the community, as well as children from Anfield’s Pinehurst Primary School.

Rail passengers urged to plan their journey ahead of strike action

Appeal to find man after pub axe attack POLICE want to speak to a man following a sickening axe attack which happened last year in a Bootle pub in front of terrified locals.

The Champion reported how armed police were called to The Queens, on Knowsley Road, following the assault on Sunday, April 22.

It left a 52-year-old man with back injuries and police have been hunting the attacker, who fled the scene in a vehicle.

Officers now want to speak with Peter Hickey, who they believe has information about the incident.

He is described as being white, 6 ft. tall, of heavy build with dark brown hair and blue eyes. He is known to frequent the Bootle area of Merseyside.

Officers are asking Mr Hickey himself, or anyone who knows of his whereabouts or recognises him from the attached photograph and knows where he is, to call Merseyside Police on 0151 777 3841or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Alternatively, provide information to Crimestoppers online.

Report by Henry James PASSENGERS are being urged to plan their journeys and check before they travel ahead of industrial action by the RMT union on Merseyrail and Northern rail services today (Wednesday) and Friday, January 12.

Merseyrail services are planned to run every 30 minutes, with the exception of the New Brighton to Liverpool services which will be every hour, from around 6.30am to 7.30pm, with a break in service between around 11am and 1.30pm.

The union also held a strike on Monday, January 8.

Wirral services will start and terminate from James Street Station.

There will be no services on the following lines: Hunts Cross – Liverpool Central; Ellesmere Port – Hooton; Chester – Hooton, Kirkby – Liverpool Central and Ormskirk – Maghull.

Merseyrail tickets will be accepted on Arriva bus services, except between 7am-9am and 4-6pm. Passengers are strongly advised to check the Merseyrail website and Twitter@Merseyrail before travelling, as it is possible that timetables will change prior to, as well as during, strike action.

Northern Rail will operate a reduced service, with the majority of available trains operating between 7am and 7pm.

Services on some routes will finish earlier and some stations will have no service, for more information visit the Northern Rail website.

Andy Heath, managing director at Merseyrail said: “I am really disappointed with the strike action being taken by the RMT that will, after the previous strike days, yet again result in more disruption to your services.

“At the request of the Metro Mayor, we agreed to independent conciliation with the RMT union with

Peter Hickey.

The dispute is over the role of guards on the planned new trains

no pre-conditions, but to date, the RMT have refused to meet without pre-conditions.

“I am very keen to begin a meaningful dialogue and engage in a detailed negotiation to find a middle ground which will satisfy all parties.

“As always, we will ensure that we deliver as robust a timetable as we can that will best serve your travel needs.”

Sharon Keith, regional director at Northern said: “We are doing everything we can to keep our customers on the move during the three days of industrial action affecting our network.

“We ask our customers to plan carefully, allow extra time for travel and check the Northern website for the latest information.”

RMT general secretary Mick Cash said: “This dispute is about putting public safety before private profit and that is the message we will be sending out on the picket lines.”

Report by Tom Martin THE cost of Everton’s proposed new stadium at Bramley Moore Dock has ‘escalated significantly’ but the club still hopes to move in for the start of the 2022-23 season.

Everton released an update on the plans in which chief executive Robert Elstone revealed he hopes to finalise funding and get planning permission this year.

The cost of the new stadium was initially thought to be around £300million, but Mr Elstone said that the work required to transform the 19th century dock and inflation have all increased the cost of the project.

He said: “After careful consideration of several sites, over recent years, a clear winner emerged and whilst the cost and related preparatory works add a one-fifth premium to the cost of the Bramley Moore Dock site, we believe that the commercial returns from naming rights, sponsorship, higher attendances and greater use on non-matchdays will recoup that premium. We are incredibly excited about the opportunities for us at Bramley Moore Dock.

“From the outset, we have prioritised ‘an intimate and atmospheric home’ and ‘a fortress that opponents fear and respect’.

“The funding target has escalated significantly and has occupied much of our efforts of the past 12 months.

“The premium for the waterfront site, an ambitious capacity that we will test with more rigour, a design we can all be proud of and the simple but painful impact of inflation, have all contributed to an increased overall cost and a funding target which continues to grow.

“It’s a challenge that has always had the full support of Liverpool City Council and throughout 2017,

we have been totally committed to finding a funding arrangement that works for the club and the city. We have needed to be patient as we work together to ensure the ‘checks and balances’ that underpin such a deal are in place and whilst we ‘detoured’ temporarily pursuing the prize of hosting the Commonwealth Games, as we start the new year, both parties feel we are near to agreeing a framework that works.

“Once these funding arrangements are secure, we will be able to move forward with more conviction and optimism.

“Our new home will kick-start the regeneration of North Liverpool and we are proud to be the catalyst for significant numbers of new homes, jobs and infrastructure.

“The prize for the club and the city is substantial.

Bramley Moore Dock will bring £1bn of private sector investment into the city and introduce our world-famous waterfront to billions of Premier League fans every weekend.

“Again, following the sign-off of funding, the priority for the year ahead is to deliver the planning permission required to allow us to begin construction.

“Our hope, and our target, is the opening game of the 2022/23 season. Be assured that all our efforts during 2018 will be focused on meeting this challenging but achievable target.”

Energy firm moves on fracking plans Report by Kenny Parker AN energy company has begun the process of applying for permission to 'frack' for gas at a site which lies just a few miles outside of Lydiate.

Following analysis of a 3D geophysical survey, Aberdeen based company Aurora Energy Resources has submitted a scoping request to Lancashire County Council with a view to mining for gas in the Altcar Moss, north of Great Altcar. Residents in the surrounding areas, the nearest of which is 850metres from the proposed site, have received a letter from the company informing them that scoping is the first step in agreeing the extent and nature of environmental assessments required to inform any subsequent planning application.

The company states that it proposes “to drill and hydraulically

fracture both a vertical and a separate horizontal well at Altcar Moss to evaluate the potential to produce hydrocarbons from deeply-buried, carboniferous-age rocks”.

Managing director Ian Roche said: “The discovery of shale gas has opened a new chapter in the hydrocarbon story of north west England that stretches back to the discovery of the Formby oil field, almost 80 years ago.

“The UK will require gas for decades to come and the potential to develop a new source of indigenous supply will bring benefits, both nationally and locally, though the provision of tax revenues, skilled jobs and opportunities for local businesses in the supply chain.

“The UK has a long, exemplary record in the regulation of oil and gas activities onshore and offshore.

“Residents can be reassured that the proposed activities will be conducted safely and with minimal impact on people or the envirMap indicating proposed fracking site at Altcar Moss. onment.”

...meanwhile, protest group dispute claims process is safe THE Halsall Against Fracking group, dispute claims made by energy firm Aurora.

HAF chairwoman Maureen Mills said: “Their claims that ‘a new source of indigenous supply’ of gas will bring ‘benefits’ to this beautiful rural agricultural area are spurious when weighed against the environmental impacts.

“If this industry ever went into full production it would bring industrialisation on a scale that would totally desecrate the countryside.

“As for the UK having ‘a long and exemplary record in the regulation of oil and gas activities’, residents should be aware that only one well has been fracked in England by Cuadrilla at Preese Hall and that induced seismic events which resulted in the industry being effectively closed down in 2011 “No onshore high volume hydraulic fracturing has taken place before or since then.

“There is simply no evidence to support their

claim that ‘residents can be reassured that the proposed activities will be conducted safely and with minimal impact on people and on the environment.”

Flooded road is a ‘danger’ for drivers Report by Tom Martin A MOTORIST says a road in Bootle which was submerged with water for more than a week was a danger for drivers and should have been drained sooner.

Alex Boulton believes Sefton Council should have acted quicker to the problem, on Brown’s Lane, because it had become a hazard for vehicle users who were forced to stop and turn around in the road. He also claimed that the warning signs kept falling over and couldn’t be seen properly.

The area of Brown's Lane is near a canal bridge and usually suffers from a build-up water whenever there is heavy rain.

Sefton Council say that work to drain the water was delayed was due to the ‘Christmas shutdown period’.

Alex told the Champion: “It was like that for well

more than a week and caused a build up of cars, who had to stop and then reverse or do a U-turn to find another way around it.

“The signage was like something out of a third world country. It was way too small and kept blowing over so people couldn’t see it. It was especially dangerous at night when it was less visible.

“There were supermarket trolleys and cones floating in the water at one point. I thought at one point I was going to see a canoe!

“The council really needs to look at this road because it happens every year.”

A spokesperson for Sefton Council said: “This matter was reported to us during the Christmas shutdown period and the road was temporarily closed on January 2 with the relevant signage erected.

“The water has since been drawn away and the road re-opened on January 4.

“We are currently investigating the cause of the flooding to stop this from happening again.”

Teenager jailed for ‘disgusting’ attack on pregnant woman

NEW CROSBY CENTRE

Report by Tom Martin A MAN from Seaforth has been jailed after he assaulted a pregnant dog walker before taking her pet and dumping it in a nearby garden.

Ethan Taylor, 18, from Claremont Road, was sentenced to four years at Liverpool Crown Court on Wednesday, January 3 for the shocking incident.

Police have described the attack as “disgusting� and in a statement, the female victim said it has left her “scared, sick, and nervous.�

She was with her partner and dog at the time of the attack, which happened on Seaforth Road at around 11pm on Friday, July 7.

They were approached by Taylor and two other unknown males who demanded that she hand over her iPhone, but she refused, which led to both of them being assaulted and their dog snatched and left in a garden.

Following enquiries, Taylor was identified as the ringleader and was arrested and charged with the offence.

In her Victim Impact Statement, the female victim said: “This whole incident has made me feel scared, sick, and nervous. “I have experienced a lot of unpleasant incidents in my life and this has raised so many emotions. “This time I am not a victim, I am a survivor.�

Detective Constable Danny Pimbley, from the investigation team, said: “It is pleasing to see Taylor removed from the streets for the foreseeable future, and I want to express our enormous praise to both victims, who fully and bravely supported our investigation throughout. “Thankfully there were no lasting injuries, but to set upon a couple, and particularly a pregnant

Jamie Carragher drops off some clothes at the shelter.

LIVERPOOL legend Jamie Carragher took time out from his football punditry to make a surprise visit to a homeless shelter in Liverpool.

The former Reds defender made the impromptu visit to the shelter at Kingsway House in the city centre, after his friend - the former Liverpool captain and Mark Wright - had also visited the facility earlier in the week.

The Kingsway House shelter is being operated by Signature Living and Mark’s wife Sue, is part of the Signature Living management team.

Carragher donated several bags of his own clothes and made a cash donation to the shelter and spent several hours chatting to the homeless guests and volunteers who have given their time to help out.

Carragher said: “I am truly humbled by what I have seen and what is happening on the streets of Liverpool which is part of a national epidemic of

homelessness. By opening this shelter they have somewhere safe and warm with something to eat and drink, the basic things that we all take for granted every day. Talking to these guys and girls they all have their own stories to tell of how they ended up homeless and sleeping rough on the streets.

“By being in a shelter like this with support, it’s the first step to helping get them back on their feet and off the streets.”

Carragher also confirmed that both he and Mark Wright will host a charity football match in January with former Liverpool and Everton footballers along with a charity dinner in the city to raise funds for the Signature Shelter at Kingsway House.

Mark Wright said: “Jamie and I will be putting together some current and former Liverpool and Everton players for a charity football match and a fundraising dinner.

“We would like all fans from Liverpool and Everton to show their support for this really important cause that is helping the homeless in our city.”

People have no stake in the port

Docks will serve interests of company not local area

Highways England has never mentioned A5036 plans before

Peel Ports will take no notice of the residents on this one.

Peel are a Manchester company with no interest in Bootle or Litherland.

They are only interested in making money and the new docks complex is owned by Peel Ports.

We have no stake in it whatsoever.

My blood really boiled after reading the article about the proposed road through Rimrose Valley Country Park.

To have it argued that a project that will serve the requirements of a company accused of not paying its fair share of tax, registered offshore and headed up by a tax exile, will somehow lead to greater local economic prosperity would make me laugh were it not so ridiculous.

Essentially the other points from Highways England seemed to be that other options to alleviate

I was astonished to read the slant in your report on how Highways England say a tunnel conecting the docks and Switch Island is not a viable option.

I have read all of Highways England’s publications and not once have they said that Church Road/Dunnings Bridge Road (A5036) would be transformed into the lush green area depicted in the image.

My understanding is that the road will remain exactly as it is.

Alex Radnor, Boulton

traffic getting to the docks are expensive so we should all just give up and let them get to work on the cheapest option.

It’s an utter disgrace.

Cleaving in half the borough’s last open, green, wooded, wildlife-rich space with another new road is a proposition that should have been completely dismissed by any person or organisation that serves the public interest.

Gary, Crosby

PICTURE of the week

Indeed, I have spoken with Highways England staff at public meetings and they admit that it will remain a congested road.

I was told that even if the new road goes ahead, there still may be a need to widen the A5036 in about 10 years time!

It will still be heavily used by cars and HGVs. Concerned Rimrose resident, By email

Station is needed to promote clean and quick mode of travel Maghull North station is needed because there is a new housing development of more than 350 houses and probably more to follow, and is promoting a clean environmentally friendly and quick mode of travel.

The fact that the original Maghull Station car park is full every single day proves there is this demand for the service that Merseyrail provide.

Dave Gore Aintree

Mayor has worked hard to make the town hall accessible I would like to say thank you to the Mayor of Sefton Councillor Dave Robinson.

He has worked so hard to make Bootle Town Hall accessible to public groups who might never have seen the inside of the hall, and his pride and enjoyment in his role shows in his enthusiasm in every function he undertakes.

Thank you Councillor Robinson.

Mary Williams, Bootle

It was Merseytravel who ordered People are confused about trains that can run without guards what items you can recycle So the Merseyrail train guards dispute rumbles on with no sign of a resolution.

At face value it’s the RMT union against Merseyrail, the private sector franchise operator of trains on Merseyside.

But that's far too simplistic an assessment of the dispute.

Because the genesis of the dispute is firmly within the hands of Merseytravel the public sector transport committee of the Liverpool City Region.

It was Merseytravel who agreed to

purchase new trains that can run without train guards, not Merseyrail.

This simple fact seems to have been lost for reasons I can’t quite get my head around.

Merseyrail have to do what Merseytravel tells them to do so they are pursuing the dispute in effect on behalf of Merseytravel.

That being the case, why is it not Merseytravel under pressure?

Tony Robertson, Member of Lydiate Parish Council

You often publish readers’ letters about Sefton’s recycling service.

Most of the people I've spoken to about it have some confusion concerning the brown bins.

For example: Should you remove the labels attached to type 1 plastic bottles such as milk containers?

Some cans have a plastic lining. Can they be put in the brown bin?

Fresh fruit trays (e.g. Strawberries) are made from type 1 plastic. Can they be recycled in the brown bins?

Can shredded paper be put in the brown bin?

Does it make any difference if it has been through a cross-cut shredder?

Is it better to leave the tops on plastic bottles and glass jars? Does it depend on what they are made of?

Can all the plastic that cannot go in the brown bin be put in the skip for plastic at the local tip?

What proportion of what we think gets recycled ends up in landfill because we have not separated things out properly?

Fan who set off a smoke flare during Merseyside derby gets three year ban A FOOTBALL fan from Litherland has been banned for three years after setting off a smoke canister during December’s Merseyside derby at Anfield.

Patrick Devlin, 28, of Moss Lane, was in the away section of the stadium when he ignited the flare during the Premier League match on Sunday, December 10.

He appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court on Tuesday, January 2 and was given a three-year Football Banning Order, fined £300 plus costs and now has a criminal record.

Superintendent Simon Irving, Match Commander, said: “This was a dangerous incident which could have had serious consequences at an otherwise Patrick Devlin. trouble-free event. by lighting such items inside a staDevlin now will have a criminal dium, and we will always work record and the consequences of this in the future could be signific- with clubs to identify those people and put them before the courts, as ant.

Drink driver swerved across the road and nearly hit other cars A COURT has heard how a Crosby drink driver was swerving from left to right and drove on the wrong side of the road, twice nearly colliding with other vehicles.

Michael Jones, 57, of Longfield Avenue, appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court on January 3 where he pleaded guilty to driving with 47 micrograms of alcohol in 100ml of breath.

Lynn Clark, prosecuting, said a witness had been travelling in his car along South Road, going towards Crosby, at 2.35pm on December 10 when he was overtaken by a Vauxhall Corsa driven

by Jones.

“The car has overtaken him and then swerved back in front of his vehicle,” Miss Clark said, “The defendant nearly crashed into a parked vehicle. The witness continued to drive behind him and saw him swerving along the road and at that point he contacted police for assistance.

“The defendant’s driving was described as erratic at best; clearly veering from left to right, clearly a danger to other road

users.”

Miss Clark added that as the witness followed Jones he was seen to go on to the wrong side of the road at a roundabout and that he nearly collided with a bollard.

The court heard that Jones had lost his driving licence in 2009 for drink driving. The new drink driving offence being within 10 years of the last one meant that he was liable to a mandatory 10 year driving disqualification.

Solicitor Rachel Chandler said Jones was under a lot of pressure due to having gone through a relationship breakdown while bearing the full-time responsibility of looking after his elderly parents and caring for his son.

“But he does not say that this is an excuse,” she said, “He said his actions were very irresponsible.

He was glad that no one was hurt and he is very remorseful.

“He had been out for a few drinks with a friend. He did not realise that he would be over the limit at the time.”

The magistrates fined him £100, with £115 costs and banned from driving for three years.

School toasts pupils’ success at ceremony

Mike Kennedy pictured at prize day with guest speaker Tom Delamere, Head Girl Sophie James and Head Boy Elliot Amadi

ST Mary’s College in Crosby paid tribute to the achievements of its pupils over the past year at its annual prize day ceremony.

Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral was the setting for the event, which saw the school welcoming its youngestever VIP guest speaker, former

head boy Tom Delamere.

Tom, who left St Mary’s in 2007, is now Programme Officer for Bangladesh for Catholic international development charity, CAFOD. In a speech, Principal Mike Kennedy paid tribute to one of the school’s longest-serving

teachers, head of sixth form Carole Killen, who retired in the summer after 28 years’ service.

Mr Kennedy said: “Prize day is a great opportunity to recognise the successes of our pupils who continue to maintain the highachieving traditions of the school, academically and in

many other fields.

“This is particularly true of our guest speaker Tom Delamere who each day, in the spirit of the founders of the school, places his many skills, attributes and commitment at the service of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.”

New heads set to take over at school later this year TWO new headteachers have been announced to take the reins at Merchant Taylors’ Boys’ and Girls’ Schools.

Claire Tao, who is currently Deputy Head at the City of London School for Girls, will take over as Headmistress from Louise Robinson when she leaves at Easter 2018.

David Wickes, who is currently the Deputy Headmaster at Warwick School, will join Merchant Taylors’ Boys’ School as Headmaster in September 2018.

Claire Tao said: “I am delighted to be joining Merchant Taylors’ Girls’ School at this exciting time in their development. I have been hugely impressed by members of the school community who I have encountered on my visits to the school.

“I am looking forward to joining after Easter and the prospect of working collaboratively with the staff and the other Heads to ensure the girls’ learning experience is positive, fun and rewarding for them.”

David Wickes said: “I am honoured to have been appointed Head of Merchant Taylors’ Boys’ School, one of the most prestigious schools in the north of England. It has a strong tradition and wonderful values and I am thrilled to be taking over at such an exciting time in its history.

“From the moment I visited the school, I was struck by the warmth of

CHILDREN from Aintree's Holy Rosary Catholic Primary School helped to feed the homeless of Liverpool while taking part in a Christmas Jumper Day. Children were asked to provide food items for Angi and Nic's Homeless Support, when given an opportunity to don their colourful festive pullovers.

Angi and Nic Homeless Support is a charity run

by Maghull women Angela Hamlett and Nic Gill who visit Liverpool City Centre weekly to provide warm clothing (including socks and underwear), a hot meal, a hot drink and packed lunches to the homeless people of Liverpool.

The women, both working mothers, say they want “to put something back for people less fortunate than ourselves”.

Moya Middlehurst, Holy Rosary’s office manager, said: “We were all absolutely thrilled with the amount of items that were donated. Members of our parent group The Friends of Holy Rosary delivered the food items to Angi and Nic on Friday afternoon.

“Angi and Nic were speechless and totally overwhelmed with the amount of donations. They said that the children, families and staff of Holy Rosary should be very proud of themselves. They thanked everyone for such a lovely act of kindness.”

Volunteers needed to check on people being held in police custody A CAMPAIGN has been launched to find volunteers to check on the welfare of people detained in police custody.

Merseyside’s Deputy Police Commissioner Cllr Emily Spurrell is inviting anyone looking for a new challenge for 2018 to consider becoming an independent custody visitor.

At least Paddington made my TV viewing bearable I SUPPOSE I owe the television companies some kind of apology - though I’m still afraid I'll now have to wait until Christmas this year to be able to re-record The Grinch or The Polar Express, both of which were sadly lacking from the Yuletide schedules this time around for the first time in for years.

Still, at least two programmes screened early in this new year actually made up for those two shocking omissions.

First up - and I very nearly didn’t bother with it because I assumed it would be a Disney-style cartoon version of Paddington Bear - was indeed Film 4’s excellent production of Paddington on Boxing Day and again on New Year’s Day. It featured Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins and Nichole Kidman, plus the voice of Ben Wishaw as the admittedly ‘cartoon’ small bear. But this was not a Disney bear at all. It looked and moved like a real bear and I at least found it very easy actually to believe it WAS a real bear.

Except, perhaps, for one thing - and that not a bad thing at all.

Because this Paddington reminded me very strongly of my adopted collie, Cinders.

If you were lucky enough to see this production you will have a good impression not only of the way little Cinders looks and behaves, but also in her sometimes gross eating habits!

As far as marmalade sandwiches go, I don’t think Cinders has ever had to opportunity to try them - I am pretty certain though that if she ever does she will share Paddington’s enthusiasm for this particular delicacy.

And yes, I know Cinders is now a full-grown Rough Collie, but I still often call her ‘little one’ if only to distinguish her from my ‘Big Tina.’

Truthfully I was very near to tears when Paddington was apparently about to be stuffed and mounted only of course to be rescued at the last minute.

If you have seen this excellent film I hope you share my enthusiasm for it.

The other film, A Christmas Carol on BBC 4 on New Year ’s Day, I have seen before but was more than happy to watch again.

In my opinion, this adaptation of Charles Dickens' Christmas ghost story by Clive Donner is quite the best, sticking most nearly to the original plot. And George C Scott’s portrayal of Ebanezer Scrooge is masterful - though Alistair Sim’s Scrooge in the classic 1951 film does take some beating.

Why we had to wait until a week after Christmas for it I really don’t know - but it was worth waiting for.

On another old tack though, not everything in my world has got off to a good start in 2018.

You may remember some time ago I related my woes brought on by my GP asking me to go for a blood test.

Well, just before Christmas a mixup in my prescription lead to my GP asking for a further blood test which had to be booked by me at the Westway Health Centre in Maghull.

I won’t bore you with the ins and outs of what occurred this time - but the fact of the matter is that in an hour ’s time or so I will be setting out, again, for my local chemist, hopefully this time to pick up my prescription.

This will mean that what started out as a simple picking up of a repeat prescription from my local chemist, will have involved me in six one and a half mile walks, two in freezing cold, and one in lashing rain.

I suppose all this could be said to prove that whatever medicines I have been prescribed are working, since I managed all this without incident (apart from being cold, wet and fed up). But I am still committed to yet another walk to the surgery where the practice nurse wants to check up on how I am faring.

My mind boggles.

Pupils enjoy breakfast - with a Disney theme YOUNGSTERS from a Bootle school enjoyed breakfast with a difference as they were joined by some of their favourite Disney characters!

Children at Thomas Gray Primary School enjoyed their morning meal with the likes of Minnie and Mickey Mouse, Olaf the Snowman as well as a visit from Father Christmas.

The event was held thanks to local firm Cargill, also based in Bootle, which partnered with children's charity YKids to provide healthy cereals and a dose of fun for the pupils.

Cargill’s contribution to Ykids this year was around helping improve lives and opportunities for children with a focus on schemes around cooking skills and quality food and snacks for schools and youth clubs.

Firefighters issue warning over e-cigarettes FIREFIGHTERS have issued a warning about the fire risk from using and charging ecigarettes.

This follows a sharp increase in the number of fire incidents in the region attended by Merseyside Fire and Rescue crews involving e-cigarettes and chargers.

This includes 18 incidents in Merseyside since 2016, many involving e-cigarette batteries catching fire while on charge.

Often this has been caused by e-cigarettes being overcharged, physical damage to

the charger or battery, the use of cheap or poor quality chargers or cigarette batteries, plus the use of incompatible devices.

Tony Harland, Incident Investigator for Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service, said: “People who use e-cigarette chargers may not realise just how dangerous they can be if they are not used properly or are cheaply made.

“Several incidents we have attended have significant fires breaking out because either the battery itself is faulty or the

battery charger is poorly made or incompatible. The risks are considerable and could present a serious threat to life.

“In addition to making sure both the cigarette battery and charger are safe, smokers should take further precautions when using them.

“People should be particularly careful that chargers are not left on too long. We would also encourage people to use fire retardant charging bags for e-cigarettes which can be bought cheaply from local retailers.”

E-cigarette users are also advised to use the correct charger and follow the manufacturer’s instructions and never charge a battery that has signs of damage, that has been dropped, or has been subjected to impact.

Also never plug a charger into a non-approved mains power transformer, never leave a battery on charge unattended and don't over tighten the atomiser or when connecting to charger.

For fire safety advice call Merseyside and Rescue Service on 0800 731 5958.

Charity volunteers picked up their award from Ricky Tomlinson.

‘Bootle Belles’ win award for charity which gives support to older people Report by Tom Martin A CHARITY in Bootle and its volunteers have been awarded for their hard work in supporting the older community by The Royle Family star Ricky Tomlinson.

Sefton Older Person's Enabling Resource and Action (OPERA) and their volunteers, called the Bootle Belles, were named the winners of a Smile award at the Liverpool Mutual Homes Older Persons Award Evening, held at The Devonshire Hotel.

To present the award, they called upon the services of actor Ricky Tomlinson, who was delighted to present the hard-working volunteers with their deserved award.

Ann Mardell from the Bootle Belles said: “We are so honoured to have won the Smile Award, it is great to recognise the valuable work volunteers do to support local older people in their community. We just love having fun

and making lots of people smile.”

Sefton OPERA, which was formed in Bootle in 1999 to support older people in the community, also came third in the Outstanding Older Persons Initiative Award.

Vikki Martlow the Organisational Manager at Sefton OPERA, said: “We thank One Vision Housing for their nomination.

“To be acknowledged within these awards is fantastic and this is a testament to the dedication and commitment of all our volunteers who go out week in week out, rain, hail or shine to support the many older people who live in Sefton.”

Ann Owens from One Vision Housing who nominated Sefton OPERA and the Bootle Belles added: “The work both these groups do to support our older tenants is amazing, they help to improve the quality of life for lots of older people in Sefton and we as a local social landlord wanted to thank them for their support by making these nominations.

Search on to find child to play role in touring musical THE search has started to find boys or girls to play the role of Tam in Cameron Mackintosh’s new production of Boublil and Schönberg’s musical Miss Saigon when the show runs at Manchester Palace Theatre, March 21 – May 12.

‘Tam’, say the theatre, is small, cute, confident and South East Asian looking. He is not younger than four and not older than six .To apply, children must live within a commutable distance of Manchester.

This new production of Miss Saigon opened in London in May 2014 to record-breaking advance sales and critical acclaim. Dominic Cavendish in The Daily Telegraph wrote: “This thrilling new production spills out beyond the theatre and speaks directly to the times we live in.”

The show swept the board at the 2015 Whatsonstage.com awards winning a record breaking nine awards, the most awards ever won by a single show in the 15-year history of the event including: Best West End Show and Best Revival of a Musical.

Miss Saigon tells the story of a young bar girl named Kim, orphaned by war, who falls in love with Chris, an American GI - but their lives are torn apart by the fall of Saigon.

Miss Saigon has music by Claude-Michel Schönberg with lyrics by Richard Maltby Jr. and Alain Boublil, adapted from original French lyrics by Alain Boublil, with additional lyrics by Michael Mahler.

Since its London premiere in 1989, the show has become one of the most successful musicals in history.

The original Broadway production opened on April 11, 1991 with what was the largest advance sale in Broadway history ($37 million). It went on

to play for nearly ten years and 4,063 performances and was seen by more than 5.9 million people.

The show has been performed in 28 countries, over 300 cities in 15 different languages, has won over 40 awards including two Olivier Awards, three Tony Awards, and four Drama Desk Awards and has been seen by over 35 million people worldwide.

Almost 1,000 residents sign up to flagship diabetes scheme

Visit us @ www.ChampNews.com ● 33

Officer appointed to support ‘sex workers’ Report by Tom Martin POLICE have revealed a ‘unique plan’ to support ‘sex workers’ by appointing a dedicated officer to help them avoid violence and exploitation.

In December Project Red Umbrella was launched which saw the appointment of a Police Sex Worker liaison officer for the first time in the Force’s history.

Following a successful bid for funding of £650,000 from the Home Office, Project Red Umbrella will aim to protect street sex workers from sexual violence, exploitation

and trafficking.

The project, which will run until March 2020, will put in place victimfocused processes to better support sex workers who are already victims and those who are at risk, both on the streets and online.

The funding will enable the police to increase and improve the support they can offer to street sex workers in light of a recent increase of migrant sex workers and a shift which has seen more people take up the work online.

The project will also be able to improve the gathering of intelligence on those who inflict violence on mainly women, and also transgender workers and men, while

encouraging more victims to report the offences committed against them, in order to bring more offenders to justice and prevent further offences from taking place.

Merseyside’s Police Commissioner Jane Kennedy said: “Many of these women are extremely vulnerable and enter this work because of difficult life circumstances.

“This project will better support these women to ensure they get the help they need, ideally so they can get off the streets but, for those who remain, to ensure they are better protected and are able to work free from violence, abuse and exploitation.

“Merseyside Police has led the way

GOODYEAR FURNITURE CENTRE

for many years in prosecuting and securing convictions against those who commit crimes against sex workers, in large part by being the first force in the country to recognise these offences as hate crime.

“In January 2018 Merseyside will also have a dedicated Independent Sexual Violence Advocate for sex workers.”

The project is working in partnership with Changing Lives, a national registered charity that provides specialist support services for 21,000 vulnerable people and their families every year, and will also be working with existing services on Merseyside such as the Armistead street project.

The scheme aims to help those at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes to avoid this

Report by Danielle Thompson ALMOST 1,000 Sefton residents have signed up to the flagship NHS diabetes prevention scheme in the last year.

A new report, co-authored by experts from NHS England, Public Heath England and the charity Diabetes UK, charts the positive impact made by the Healthier You: Diabetes Prevention Programme during the early phase of its roll-out in just over 12 months.

In Sefton alone, the estimated number of people diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes is 13,954.

The programme is the world’s first nationwide Type 2 diabetes prevention scheme. Every year, Type 2 diabetes costs the NHS £8.8 billion, almost 9% of its budget, and causes 22,000 early deaths per year. There are currently five million people in England at high risk of developing Type 2 diabetes and, if current trends persist, one in three people will be obese by 2034 and one in ten will develop Type 2 diabetes. It is closely linked to obesity, with strong evidence to suggest it is preventable.

A lack of exercise, poor diet and being overweight are all risk factors for developing the disease over time. Patients referred on to the programme get tailored, face-to-face help, including: education on lifestyle choices, advice on how to reduce weight through healthier eating and bespoke physical activity programmes, which together have been proven to reduce the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. The latest information shows that around 73% of Sefton residents joined the programme once referred.

The programme was commissioned by NHS England, in partnership with Public Health England and Diabetes UK. Currently managed by NHS South Sefton Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and NHS Southport and Formby CCG, the programme is delivered locally by Living Well Taking Control.

Dr Nigel Taylor, diabetes lead at NHS South Sefton CCG said: “We are delighted with the local success of the programme and the difference it makes to people’s risk of developing diabetes.

Patients have been so keen to join the programme that the CCGs will be offering more places over the coming months and we will be working with local GPs to identify and invite those patients most at risk of developing the condition. The way it works is that people will be contacted and offered a place on the programme if a recent blood test tells us that they might be at risk.”

People urged to take extra care on canal towpaths THE Canal & River Trust is calling on people to enjoy the waterways safely this winter by taking extra care on towpaths.

Given the potential for low temperatures and wet and windy conditions, it’s important to take extra care - wrap up warm and check the weather before heading for a walk or run along a towpath.

Tony Stammers, head of Safety at the Canal & River Trust, said: “As the temperature drops, our waterways look beautiful in the frost and snow and the towpath is a perfect place to

head for a wintery walk.

“However, with the cold temperatures and the dark afternoons and nights, it’s even more important to take care and stay safe when out and about.

“Look out for icy conditions. Towpaths, bridges and lock-sides can become slippery at this time of year and snow can conceal boat mooring rings and ropes.

“And whilst frozen canals look beautiful, obviously no-one should ever attempt to walk on or test the thickness of the ice.”

Mobility Solutions From the experts...

Top tips: - Whether running or walking, be safe and tell someone where you are heading – take your mobile phone.

- The towpath can be slippery when wet and icy so wear sturdy footwear and be careful where you tread.

- Daylight draws in fast during the winter months so keep an eye on the time.

- Ice will not support your weight. Do not step on the ice and never follow a pet onto the ice.

Kathy Burslem who has ran the Burscough Slimming World group for over 11 years says “With our generous and flexible eating plan and the invaluable help and encouragement of our group in 2017 has been our most successful year to date in Burscough helping a record breaking amount of members every single week.

And with their commitment to coming to group a staggering 560stone was lost last year.”

Paula Skalycz who has recently re launched the Old Skelmersdale groups says “I’m feeling so excited about welcoming all our members - new and existing, to our lovely new venue.

We’ve celebrated some amazing achievments in the Old Skelmersdale groups including our fabulous Sarah Southern who’s dropped 4 dress sizes and lost 5st in just 12 months and I literally can not wait to share that success with other slimmers who want to lose weight in the easiest way ever”.

PUBLIC NOTICES

NOTICE OF CONFIRMATION (OTHER THAN BY AN ACQUIRING AUTHORITY) OF A COMPULSORY PURCHASE ORDER THE SEFTON METROPOLITAN BOROUGH COUNCIL (A565 HIGHWAYS IMPROVEMENTS) COMPULSORY PURCHASE ORDER The Highways Act 1980 and the Acquisition of Land Act 1981 1. Notice is hereby given that the Secretary of State for Transport, in exercise of his powers under the above Acts, on 12 December 2017 confirmed with modifications the Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council (A565 Highway Improvements) Compulsory Purchase Order 2016 submitted by the Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council.

2. The order as confirmed provides for the purchase for the purposes of the improvement of the existing highway known as the A565 Derby Road (â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Highwayâ&#x20AC;?); the improvement or development of frontages to the Highway or of land adjacent to the Highway; the carrying out of drainage works in connection with the construction or improvement of the Highway; the use of the land by Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council in connection with the construction and improvement of the Highway or other highways within its vicinity; and mitigating any adverse effects which may arise associated with the construction or improvement of the Highway by Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council of the land and the new rights described in Schedule 1 hereto.

3. A copy of the order as confirmed by the Secretary of State for Transport and of the map referred to therein have been deposited at Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council, Magdalen House, 30 Trinity Road, Bootle L20 3NJ and may be seen at all reasonable hours.

4. The order as confirmed becomes operative on the date on which this notice is first published. A person aggrieved by the order may, by application to the High Court within 6 weeks from that date, challenge its validity under section 23 of the Acquisition of Land Act 1981. The grounds for challenge can be that the authorisation granted by the order is not empowered to be granted or that there has been a failure to comply with any relevant statutory requirement relating to the order.

5. Once the order has become operative, the Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council may require any of the land described in Schedule 1 below by executing a general vesting declaration under section 4 of the Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981. A statement on the effect of Parts 2 and 3 of that Act is set out in Schedule 2 below.

6. Every person who, if a general vesting declaration were executed under section 4 of that Act in respect of the land comprised in the order (other than land in respect of which notice to treat has been given), would be entitled to claim compensation in respect of any such land, is invited to give information to the Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council at Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council, Magdalen House, 30 Trinity Road, Bootle L20 3NJ about the personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name, address and interest in land, using a prescribed form. The relevant prescribed form is set out in Schedule 3 below.

SCHEDULE 1 LAND AND THE NEW RIGHTS COMPRISED IN THE ORDER AS CONFIRMED Land and all interests in approximately 0.2021 hectares of land running alongside the east side of the A565 Derby Road from Bedford Place running northwards to its junction with Millers Bridge and including a plot of land on the south side of Princes Street, and as shown on the map.

The right of entry for the purposes of carrying out works connected to the improvement of the existing highway with or without vehicles and with such plant, machinery, equipment and materials as may be necessary over approximately 0.0648 hectares of land running alongside the east side of the A565 Derby Road from Bedford Place running northwards to its junction with Millers Bridge and including a plot of land on the south side of Princes Street, and as shown on the map.

SCHEDULE 2 STATEMENT OF EFFECT OF PARTS 2 AND 3 OF THE COMPULSORY PURCHASE (VESTING DECLARATIONS) ACT 1981

2. As soon as may be after the Council execute a general vesting declaration, they must serve notice of it on every occupier of any of the land specified in the declaration (except land where there is one of the tenancies described in paragraph 4) and on every person who gives them information relating to the land in pursuance of the invitation contained in the confirmation notice of the order. When the service of notices of the general vesting declaration is completed, a period specified in the declaration, of not less than three months, will begin to run. On the first day after the end of this period the land described in the declaration will, subject to what is said in paragraphs 3 and 5, vest in the Council together with the right to enter on the land and take possession of it. Every person on whom the Council could have served a notice to treat in respect of his interest in the land (other than a tenant under one of the tenancies described in paragraph 4) will be entitled to claim compensation for the acquisition of his interest in the land, with interest on the compensation from the vesting date.

3. The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;vesting dateâ&#x20AC;? for any land specified in a declaration will be the first day after the end of the period mentioned in paragraph 2 above, unless a counter-notice is served under Schedule A1 to the Act within that period. In such circumstances, the vesting date for the land which is the subject of the counter-notice will be determined in accordance with Schedule A1.

Modifications with respect to certain tenancies 4. In the case of certain tenancies, the position stated above is subject to modifications. The modifications apply where the tenancy is either a â&#x20AC;&#x153;minor tenancyâ&#x20AC;?, i.e. a tenancy for a year or a yearly tenancy or a lesser interest, or â&#x20AC;&#x153;a long tenancy which is about to expireâ&#x20AC;?. The latter expression means a tenancy granted for an interest greater than a minor tenancy but having on the vesting date a period still to run which is not more than the period specified in the declaration for this purpose (which must be more than a year). In calculating how long a tenancy has still to run, where any option to renew or to terminate it is available to either party, it shall be assumed that the landlord will take every opportunity open to him to terminate the tenancy while the tenant will use every opportunity to retain or renew his interest.

5. The modifications are that the Council may not exercise the right of entry referred to in paragraph 2 in respect of land subject to a tenancy described in paragraph 4 unless they first serve notice to treat in respect of the tenancy and then serve every occupier of the land with a notice of their intention to enter and take possession after the period (not less than three months from the service of the notice) specified in the notice The right of entry will be exercisable at the end of that period. The vesting of the land will be subject to the tenancy until the end of that period or until the tenancy comes to an end, whichever happens first.

UNLESS you were fed oversteer with your alphabetti spaghetti from an early age it’s very hard to make it as a professional racing driver.

There are exceptions to the rule but generally to make the grade in top flight motor sport you need to have a sizeable amount of raw talent, a proven track record of working your way up through increasingly scary singleseaters, total fearlessness about losing it on a slippery right-hander and a considerable amount of cash – and even then you might get a politely worded letter of rejection from Sauber.

But it’s going to be even harder with the latest racing series that’s being launched, because it’s so tech-savvy that it dispenses with those pesky human drivers entirely.

I suppose Roborace was inevitable in an age where you can do your shopping by drone and Donald Trump is forever contemplating ordering a nuclear launch from one of his golf courses. The series has a very cool name and vehicles that can crack 200mph but there won’t be any split-second decisions on whether to take the racing line through chicanes. It’s not even a remote control affair; all the racing will be done on engineers’ laptops beforehand, programming the cars to strut their stuff autonomously.

The tech itself is a smart move. Back in the 1950s Jaguar made a big deal about its Le Mans-proven disc brakes filtering down to its XK150s and Mk2s and it’s the same story here; if the future of driving really is autonomous, then surely having it honed in the white heat of motor sport is a good idea? I know the Government’s very keen on self-driving cars, but there are still all sorts of logistical headaches to clear up, and sorting it on a race track is safer (and more fun) than doing it on the M57. But what I’d like to see isn’t a load of autonomous cars racing each other; it’s man versus machine, which is surely what all motor sport is about in the first place. Who wants to see a load of glorified laptops dancing around one another when they can watch one robo-racer set a time around a circuit or up a hillclimb, and then see if any of their human-operated counterparts can beat it?

I bet most kids in a Honda Type-R reckon they could kick a robot’s arse at a track day – and in doing so, they’ll be helping to improve the future of driving for the rest of us. Bring it on.

SPORT

Reds grind out a hard earned point against Squires Gate AFC Liverpool 0 Squires Gate 0 AFC Liverpool were able to grind out a point in their first fixture since the departure of Chris Stammers as manager.

With assistant manager Stuart Keir and Reserves manager Ben Williams taking control in the interim, the Reds began the game in lively fashion with some early attacking play.

Blackpool’s Squires Gate soon settled into the match and had more midfield possesion than the Reds, without really threatening Jack Cookson's goal.

As the half progressed, the home side carved out the better chances on the break. Joe Whittington should have opened the scoring but he was millimetres away from making contact with his header from Chris Anderson’s cross.

Whittington then turned provider for Danny Boden but once again the final header was lacking.

As the first half drew to a

close, the Squires Gate keeper Ben Fletcher pulled off an excellent reflex save, just as Lee McConchie thought his shot to the top corner had broken the deadlock, and it remained 0-0 at the break.

The second half saw a better performance from the visitors, who once again took control of the midfield battle.

The Reds were guilty of giving the ball away too often, but they held firm at the back with a solid defensive performance.

McConchie was the standout performer, with some vital interceptions to deny Gate forward Tarren Moxen.

A wayward shot from Kevin Edgar was all the Reds could muster in response, but they stayed solid at the back and worked hard to deserve their point.

It may have been the first goalless game in over 70 competitive matches for AFC, but there will have to be more clean sheets like this one if the Reds are to climb away from the lower end of the table.

Marine face daunting Dover trip in Trophy MARINE fans are set to embark on one of their longest ever away trips as they face a 600 mile round trip to Dover this Saturday to watch their side in the second round of the FA Trophy.

The Mariners will go into the match as clear underdogs, with Dover sat in fifth place in the Vanarama National League Table, one point ahead of l Tranmere Rovers.

Theie top scorer is Ryan Bird who has been on target 12 times in the league this season, the third highest in the division.

But Tommy Lawson’s men will be confident after already pulling off a surprise victory in the previous round when travelled to Chorley and beat them 3-1.

Goals from Adam Hughes, James Murray and Danny Mitchley gave the Mariners an unlikely win and saw them comfortably reach the second round of the competition.

Dover warmed up for this Saturday's encounter with a 2-1 loss at home to Aldershot Town in a league fixture, but prior to this they had enjoyed a rich vein of form.

Marine meanwhile haven't won in four games, with their most recent

Ryan Bird in action for Dover.

match being a 3-0 loss away at Ashton United last Saturday.

Marine's cup success had left them facing the prospect of a fixture pile-up due to a Liverpool Senior Cup semifinal against Widnes pencilled in for

two days after the Dover match.

However, Widnes agreed to bring it forward to Monday, January 8, before it was called off due to a frozen pitch. A new date for the semi-final has yet to be announced.

Purples score six in home win City of Liverpool 6 West Didsbury & Chorlton 1 CITY of Liverpool scored five second half goals to run away as clear winners after a close first 45 minutes.

The Purples were frustrated in the opening half, and after Thomas Peterson opened the scoring they were pegged back by the away side who equilised through Tom Bailey.

Peterson had tapped in a rebound inside the six-yard box, but the away side immediately struck back to go in level when a low cross was

tapped in by the lurking Bailey.

The second half continued as a closely contested match, but the Purples regained the lead on 63 minutes when Connolly headed a long freekick into the corner of the net.

The Purples didn’t have to wait long to extend their lead as Dean Shacklock finished a counter-attack.

The visitors fell apart at this point and the Purples scored three more goals through Peterson, Shacklock and Connolly.

Maghull match frozen off ONCE again Maghull’s Carlsberg West Cheshire League fixtures fell foul of the adverse weather conditions last Saturday.

Both the first team’s home fixture against South Liverpool and the reserve team’s reverse match at South Liverpool Reserves were called off with the pitches being declared unfit.

The club hopes to return to action next Saturday after a four week layoff when Redgate Rovers are the visitors to Old Hall Field in a First Division encounter whilst the Reserves travel to the Wirral for a Second Division contest at West Kirby Reserves. Both matches kick off at 2pm.

Ashton score their first goal of the game. Picture by ‘Ashton Snapper’

Away run comes to abrupt end Ashton United 3 Marine 0 MARINE’S impressive away form which has seen them unbeaten on the road in seven games came to an abrupt end at Ashton last Saturday.

In spite of a difficult run of fixtures, the Mariners had won five and drawn two of their previous away games.

The reverse fixture in September had ended with the Robins winning 4-3 after having beaten Marine in the cup earlier that same month.

The stage seemed for a blistering encounter but the match failed to ignite until Nic Evangelinos scored a quickfire brace for the home side.

On 20 minutes the ball was driven into

Clare House, 166 Lord Street, Southport PR9 0QA

01704 392 392

the Marine box and the Ashton striker was there to slot the ball home from close range.

The Mariners went on the attack straight from the restart – Peter Wylie curled in a beautiful cross from the right and Mitchley ’s effort agonisingly hit the post.

Ashton then doubled their tally as Evangelinos bagged his second goal blasting the ball into the net from close range.

The Mariners pushed forward looking for a way back into the game, with their best effort coming from Mitchley but his shot was deflected wide.

Max Hazeldine was introduced to add some extra firepower and just before the hour Marine’s best chance of the game was blasted wide by Phil Baker from Liam Tongue's precise free kick.

www.champnews.com

The Mariner’s piled forward in waves.

Da Silva hooked an effort wide; Grogan had a strong effort blocked.

With five minutes remaining Billy Smart made a great interception in the middle of the park and strode forward but Ashton put in a last-ditch tackle before the midfielder had a chance to shoot.

Very much against the run of play Ashton then added a third through Tomsett on the break to end the contest at 30.

It was a tough afternoon for the Mariners who now look forward to travelling to Dover Athletic this Saturday in the FA Trophy.
