Animal Aid group’s home for abandoned animals faces closure after building is put up for sale

PLANS to build a new £45million police headquarters in Everton have taken a step closer after a planning application was given a green light by Liverpool City Council.

At a Planning Committee meeting on Tuesday, April 3, a proposal to construct a new HQ for Merseyside Police was approved by the local authority, paving the way for work to begin at the Scotland Road site.

The building will be four-storeys and big enough to house 850 officers, with hopes it can be opened in May 2020.

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

A CAT rescue charity based in Walton faces an uncertain future over concerns it could be kicked out of its home.

Volunteers from Animal Aid Charity, on County Road, were shocked to find out the owners of the building from where they operate, had put it up for sale, meaning they now face the prospect of being turfed out if they don't take it over themselves.

They have launched a fundraiser in the hope of finding £20,000 to help purchase the premises and become the owners of the building.

Animal Aid Charity say their mission is to provide all cats in Liverpool that have been abandoned or abused with a ‘warm and loving home’ through a cattery and or re-homing process.

The creator of the online fundraiser, Paula Towner, said: “Animal Aid Charity is a safe and secure place where so many cats and kittens are

Report by Tom Martin welcomed with compassion, love and care.

“Many are homeless, abandoned or abused but we offer them security, comfort and warmth, good food and the chance of finding new loving homes.

“We currently rent our building but unknown to us our premises was put up for auction.

“They will lose their home, their security that we offer to so many cats and kittens if we allow this to happen. We are now having to purchase the whole building so we can keep our safe place we cherish so much.

“Hundreds of needy cats and kittens come through our doors every year and we have to do

everything we can to protect that.

“We are now placed in a very difficult position and we are desperate to raise funds to help us buy our safe place so we can continue to keep on saving lives of homeless, abandoned or abused feline friends.

Hospital applies for permission to switch off Alfie’s life-support Report by Tom Martin

ALDER Hey Children's Hospital is applying to the High Court to confirm a date to switch off Alfie Evan's life support machine, despite a meeting with his parents which they say gave them “false hope.”

After parents Tom Evans and Kate James exhausted every legal avenue in challenging the hospital's decision to end the 22-month-old's treatment, staff met with the family last week to talk about the next steps.

Tom and Kate emerged from the meeting “feeling positive” and North West MEP Steven Woolfe, who Alfie Evans was also in attendance, said afterwards that the It led to mum Kate accusing the hospital of “going hospital agreed to look at “alternative options”, behind our backs” and giving them “false hope.” including taking Alfie to Italy for treatment.

Youngster, 7, hurt after being hit by car A SEVEN year old girl needed hospital treatment after she was hit by a car in Everton.

Emergency services were called out to Dacy Road at around 6.15pm on Wednesday, April 4 to reports that the child had been struck by a red Toyota Yaris vehicle.

The youngster was rushed to hospital for treatment to head injuries, with police describing her condition as critical.

The driver was uninjured and stopped at the scene.

Officers cordoned off the road to allow enquiries to be carried out and closures were in place on Dacy Road so the full circumstances of the incident could be established.

Anyone who witnessed the incident or saw anything suspicious that could help is asked to contact Merseyside Police.

A DRUG dealer from Seaforth has been jailed for three years after police raided a house in Skelmersdale and he was found to be hiding heroin and crack cocaine on his person.

Ian Fenney, 25, of Plum Grove, was arrested on Monday, March 12, after police officers from Operation Nemesis had forced entry to the house in The Winsters to execute a misuse of drugs warrant.

A large quantity of cash and two mobile phones were also recovered from the house.

Fenney was taken to Skelmersdale custody suite, where he was searched and a substantial quantity of heroin and crack cocaine were recovered.

He pleaded guilty to two counts of possession with intent to supply class A drugs at Preston Crown Court.

He was sentenced to three years in prison and an order was made for forfeiture of the drugs and cash.

PC Ben Barnes, of Lancashire Constabulary’s South Division, said: “This is an excellent result for the community of Skelmersdale and once again shows that the supply of controlled substances in the area will not be tolerated by the public or the police.

“Operation Nemesis officers will continue to target those committing organised crime in our area and will act on any information given to the police.”

Teen stabbed with kitchen knife Report by Tom Martin A TEENAGER was stabbed in the leg with a kitchen knife during a sickening street brawl in Walton Vale.

The 16-year-old victim was with two friends outside Subway, on Warbreck Road, at around 6pm on Thursday, April 5 when an altercation occurred with a group of males.

He was then stabbed in the leg, with the attackers fleeing the area on foot towards Orrell Park, and officers later arriving to find a kitchen knife.

The victim was taken to hospital for treatment to a puncture wound to his leg, but his condition was described as stable and his injury not life-threatening.

Forensic examination of the scene was carried out, witnesses are being spoken to and CCTV opportunities are being explored.

The attack came just 90 minutes after a 14-year-old boy was stabbed in Liverpool city centre.

In this attack, the youngster was also stabbed in the leg after a “fight broke out between a gang of youths” close to Queen Square bus station.

It’s not known if the two stabbings are linked.

Detective Inspector Terry Davies said: “I want to make it absolutely clear that Merseyside Police will not tolerate the use of knives as weapons on our streets and the force is determined to eradicate knife crime.

“Alongside our partners, we will continue to educate our young people,

and act on any information given to us to make the streets safer.

“The stabbing of two teenagers in separate incidents in Liverpool is a sad reminder of the devastating consequences knife crime can have both for the victim and their families, and we are committed to tackling the problem and identifying those involved so they can be put before the courts.

“I appeal to anyone who has any information in relation to this incident

to contact police so we can find those responsible and bring them to justice.”

Man charged after footballer ‘racially abused’ A MAN has been arrested and charged after a semi-professional international footballer was allegedly racially abused on a bus in north Liverpool.

The Champion reported last week how Pavel Vieira, 26, uploaded mobile phone footage to social media of a man appearing to racially abuse him on the 21 bus as it headed towards Walton.

Kevin Brophy, 51, from Halewood attended a police station and was questioned and charged and released on bail to appear in South Sefton Magistrates Court on Friday, April 27.

old male and a 27-year-old male, both from Liverpool, on suspicion of possession of drugs with intent to supply and money laundering.

The men were arrested following the recovery of drugs and cash during a warrant at a property in the Kensington area.

An investigation is currently ongoing.

The video, which has been viewed nearly 100,000 times, shows Mr Vieira asking the man: “Is there anything wrong with the black people?”

The bald headed man, wearing a beige jacket and holding a shopping bag, replies: “Yeah, you shouldn't even be here.”

Other passengers can then be heard supporting Mr Vieira, who has represented his country Guinea-Bissau, as the racial abuse continued.

The incident happened at around 9.40pm on Friday, March 30 and police are appealing for information.

Detective Inspector Mark Drew said: “We will not tolerate hate crimes being committed against members of our community and I would like to take this opportunity to reassure people that we have specially trained officers who investigate cases with a view to robust action being taken against offenders.

“Everyone has the right to live peacefully within their community and to go about their daily lives without harassment from others just because they are perceived to be different. We will take the strongest possible action against the offender.”

Report by Tom Martin LIVERPOOL City Council will consider new proposals to cut the amount of potentially harmful Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) being released into the atmosphere.

Fewer cars, more cycling and walking as well as cleaner fuel are just some of the measures which were looked at by the local authority at a Cabinet meeting on Friday, April 6.

They have now published a report on Air Quality Improvement Measures as part of an ongoing campaign to improve the health of residents.

The biggest culprit for NO2 emissions in Liverpool is road transport – namely cars, buses, freight and public vehicles.

Last September it was revealed that Liverpool was not on the government’s list of areas with the worst emissions issues, but despite this, the council reaffirmed its commitment to improving air quality by setting up a multi-agency task force.

A report to Liverpool City Council’s Cabinet states: “The City Council’s strategic approach focusses on meaningful long term actions to improve air quality to protect the most vulnerable citizens living or working close to the sources of air pollution.”

Some of the proposals include creating more than 100 extra Electric Vehicle Charging Points and fining drivers who keep their engines running while they wait for someone – also known as vehicle idling.

There will also be a campaign launched to encourage more people to switch to greener alternatives like walking or cycling.

In terms of direct action being taken by the city council, the cabinet report states: “The City Council is proposing to radically change its own fleet to make the vehicles which service the city centre diesel free from 2019 and the wider city by 2024.”

powered ones and the council is phasing out diesel powered vehicles from its fleet.

Liverpool City Council’s cabinet member for Neighbourhoods, Cllr Steve Munby, said: “Improving the air quality in Liverpool is one of our key priorities. There is a clear link between pollution and ill health, so it is vital that we do all we can to ensure the wellbeing of future generations.”

“This report outlines a range of measures the council and its partners are considering but everyone has a part to play in reducing air pollution.”

“Whether it is turning your engine off when you are waiting for someone or leaving the car at home and walking or taking the bus, every little bit helps.

“Pollution is everyone’s problem, so we all need to be part of the solution.”

Farmers call for more prosecutions of flytippers

Farmers and landowners are calling for a campaign to educate the public against flytipping and for more prosecutions.

FARMERS and landowners fed up with dealing with the aftermath of flytipping are calling for a fresh crackdown.

They want a campaign to educate householders not to use illegal waste carriers to dump their rubbish and also for more prosecutions to act as a stronger deterrent.

Country Land and Business Association Limited (CLA) which represents landowners, farmers and rural businesses has responded to a government consultation on ways to tackle crime and duty of care in the waste sector.

The organisation says its members reported a 200% increase in flytipping on private land in just three years and is supporting the government proposal to introduce fixed

penalty notices for householders who do not dispose of their waste through proper legal channels.

CLA Legal Adviser Andrew Gillet said: “Flytipping is not a victimless crime. Almost two thirds of private rural landowners suffer from repeated flytipping incidents and are fed up with clearing away other people’s rubbish and paying for the privilege.

“Introducing a fixed penalty notice for householders who pass their waste on to unauthorised waste carriers would be a useful deterrent.

“However, to really tackle the crime, raising awareness of the risks of being caught and bringing forward more prosecutions are the right methods that will bring about a

real change in behaviour. Without better understanding from the public and the right legal deterrents in place, fly-tipping will continue to increase exponentially and further blight the countryside.”

The CLA also proposes that victims of flytipping on private land should be allowed to dispose of the illegal waste free of charge at local tips.

Mr Gillett said: “It is a complete injustice that private landowners who experience flytipping are then subject to becoming a criminal themselves if they do not clear up and pay for the mess to be disposed of. If they must clear it up themselves they should not be charged for disposing of it legally.”

Council gets £7m Call for more police patrols on streets after fund to support struggling families shots fired as young Report by Tom Martin LIVERPOOL City Council is to get early access to almost £7m of funding to support struggling families to turn their lives around.

The Liverpool Families Programme, funded by the government’s Troubled Families initiative, works with parents and children who are affected by unemployment, domestic abuse, health problems, school absence, children in need and crime.

To date, funding has been given on the basis of payment by results – with the city council only receiving cash for those cases where it can clearly demonstrate it has successfully helped families facing multiple difficulties.

The council’s success to date means it is one of eleven local authorities which has applied for what is known as “earned autonomy” status.

The city council will get the remaining £6.8m of funding upfront, enabling it to accelerate investment in services to support those who need it.

It is proposed that some of the money is used to support children affected by autism, domestic abuse and criminal exploitation/gangs.

There will also be investment in Early Help services including ‘kinship’ family support (where a child is looked after by a relative) and working with Public Health to deliver a model of support from 0-

19 years with a special focus on a child’s first 1,000 days of life, including through Children’s Centres.

The aim is to increase the number of families getting Early Help to tackle issues and problems which are affecting parenting, improving school readiness and attendance and reducing caseloads for social workers.

Gail Porter, director of the Families Programme, said: “Assisting families before they get into crisis is working, and has led to a reduction in the number of referrals to children’s social care and a drop in young people on child protection plans. But demand for our services is still far too high and we need to redouble our efforts to help problems spiralling out of control.

“We have made good strides, albeit from a very low base, in improving school readiness, and are also working very closely with schools and parents to get the message out that every lesson counts when it comes to attendance.

“We want to use this funding to extend this work.

“We also want to use some of the money to provide more services with our colleagues in health to give mums and dads the support they need so that babies and toddlers get the best start in life.”

It is estimated staff will work with 6,760 families by 2020, in addition to 2,105 previously supported in an earlier phase of the scheme.

Former north Liverpool pupil offers GCSE advice A FORMER north Liverpool pupil who now lives in China wants to offer advice to youngsters about to finish high school.

James Bromley, 22, who studied at North Liverpool Academy in 2011, chose a unique educational path which saw him go to college in a Welsh castle before landing scholarship to a university in Shanghai.

With children across Liverpool and Sefton currently revising for their GCSEs, James has offered some advice and urged them to “push boundaries.”

He said: “Back in 2011, I was a pupil at North Liverpool Academy. My mates and I were definitely feeling the nerves and anxiety around summer’s final exams, and the pressure was on to fill in form after form of sixth form and college applications.

“There were lots of options in Liverpool – step up to the sixth form at my school, go to a college, or go straight into work as many of my classmates did – but I wasn’t really interested.

“I wanted to travel, experience other cultures and countries, go on an adventure.

Everything changed when a teacher of mine introduced me to UWC Atlantic College.

“Set in a castle overlooking the Welsh coastline, hundreds of 16-19 year olds from around the world live and study the International Baccalaureate.

“After a challenging application process, I was offered a fully-paid place. It was a little strange, moving from a terraced house in Liverpool to a castle in Wales.

“I did miss my friends back

children played nearby RESIDENTS in Litherland have spoken of their shock after gun shots were fired in broad daylight at a street as young children were playing nearby.

Emergency services were called to Osborne Road, close to Cumpsty Road, at around 5pm on Thursday, April 5 to reports that a gunman had opened fire.

Fortunately no one was reported injured, but officers say “it's only through sheer good fortune” that no one was injured, with youngsters playing nearby.

Officers arrived to cordon off the street and are now appealing for information to help their investigation.

Locals are calling on the police to step up patrols in the area to deter crime.

One person who contacted the Champion said: “I don't think it's a problem with people who live here, it’s idiots who come from other areas causing trouble.

“If police showed more of a presence around here and we had a few officers walking around the streets then maybe it will put people off.”

Other residents were quick to express their opinion on social media.

One person posted on Facebook: “It's the same everywhere not just Litherland. It is getting worse across the country. Look at London this week. The lack of police on the streets is not helping.”

Another said: “I live not far from there and there were lots of police and sounds of a helicopter. I just hope everyone is okay.”

Merseyside Police Chief Inspector Mike Bar-

Police cordoned off the scene

rett said: “I want to appeal to the community for any information to come forward.

“This incident happened in broad daylight on a busy road and people will have been passing on foot or in vehicles.

“It is only through sheer good fortune that no-one was injured.

“We are particularly keen to speak to anyone who saw anyone acting suspiciously in the area of Osborne Road around 4.45pm.

“To fire a weapon at any time of day is appalling, but it is even worse when you consider children were playing nearby.

“The criminal actions of those involved have put their own community at risk and we will act on all information provided to take positive action.”

The following day, on Friday, April 6, armed police swooped on two addresses in Maghull and Litherland in response to the shooting.

Anyone with information on the incident is urged to contact the gun crime hotline on 0800 230 0600, message @MerPolCC, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or online.

Sefton scrap high ropes plan

James Bromley in Shanghai

home, but at college I met people from all over the world, and shared a room with guys from Uruguay, Japan, and Norway.

“College helped me reach the next step: a move to Shanghai, China, and a full scholarship at New York University Shanghai.

I learnt to speak Mandarin, before moving to Washington in America where I worked as a consultant to the World Bank Group. I also interned at a Chinese logistics company in Lagos, Nigeria.

“Fast-forward to 2018, and

I’m still living in China. If I’m missing home, I’ll take a walk across the Bund – a beautiful riverside area of Shanghai. In a way, Shanghai is a home from home, and those connections with Liverpool can be quite comforting.

“Your final exams of compulsory education are always going to be a bit stressful, but they’re not the be all and end all. Think of them as a stepping stone to something bigger. Liverpool is a fantastic city, but it’s okay to look at options outside it.”

PLANS to build a High Ropes course next to Crosby Lakeside have been scrapped by Sefton Council.

The council revealed to the Champion on Monday, April 9 that they have taken a decision to halt their proposal to construct a 39ft activity course, due to their commitment to a new ‘Sefton Coast Plan.’

It comes only two months after the Champion reported how some locals believed the council were having second thoughts after they delayed submitting a new planning application.

A spokesperson for Sefton Council said: “We have recently adopted the Sefton Coast Plan and are exploring a range of opportunities which capitalise on the fantastic facilities at Crosby Lakeside and the wider Crosby Coastal Park area.

“There are no plans to take forward this project in isolation.

“If any future proposals emerge from the review of facilities at Crosby Lakeside, they will align with the priorities in the adopted Coastal Plan and be the subject of full consultation with any interested parties.”

The first planning application in 2016 for the High Ropes course was met with opposition from many residents, who claimed the structure would be a blot on the landscape and ruin the views of the coastal area.

One of the voices of objection was Royal Hotel owner, Gordon Tartt, who claimed it would affect his business as some of the bedrooms would overlook the High Ropes course.

The council then took the unusual step of withdrawing the plan so it could be amended, which included reducing it in height and moving the location slightly.

Last October they said the new proposal would go to a Planning Committee “in the coming months” but this never happened.

Residents are now claiming the council has wasted money on coming up with the two planning applications.

The high ropes course would have consisted of six distinct activity types.

Report by Danielle Thompson DOG walkers are being urged to be extra-careful with their pets on the beach after more dangerous palm oil washed up along the Sefton coastline.

The toxic substance, which is potentially deadly to dogs, has been spotted on beaches along the coastline including Crosby and Formby beaches.

Palm oil is found in chunks as large as boulders and is not fatal for humans but its high toxin levels have damaging effects and if animals lick it or eat it, this can lead to vomiting and diarrhoea and potentially death.

Palm oil debris is waxy with a pungent smell (which makes it attractive to dogs), and can appear yellowy (as in the inset picture) or paler The poisonous substance is thought to be leaking from the 1,800-ton Maltese ship, Kimya, which capsized en route to Birkenhead around 16 miles south west of Holyhead in 1991, killing 10 of its crew, after becoming caught in 50ft waves.

Rangers from Sefton Council’s Coast and Countryside team removed four bags of palm oil from Crosby beach on Wednesday, April 4 following inspections.

No traces of debris have yet been found in Ainsdale or Southport.

A spokesman for the Sefton Coast Landscape Partnership said: “Palm oil debris is harmless to humans, but it

More palm oil debris has been seen washed up on the Sefton coastline.

can be fatal to dogs if eaten.

“Unfortunately dogs are attracted to the smell of the stuff, so pet owners are advised to remain vigilant if walking your dog on the coast, especially around tidelines.

“Pet owners should keep their dogs under close control on the beach, especially along the tideline, although the material can appear elsewhere on the beach after a high tide.”

Warning signs are on display throughout the Sefton Coast and anyone who discovers palm oil is encouraged to call 0151 934 2967 and report it.

Rose backs campaign to keep pets on a lead after her guide dog was viciously attacked Report by Tom Martin A PARTIALLY sighted woman from Orrell Park who was traumatised when her guide dog was attacked by a bull terrier has backed a campaign urging owners to keep their pets on a lead.

Rose Hill’s guide dog, Ushi, was attacked last year by a terrier in the street near her former home in Norris Green.

Rose, 58, is supporting the 'Take the Lead' campaign launched by the Guide Dogs charity, calling for dog owners to put their pet on a lead when they walk past a guide dog.

Rose was on her first ever walk with the two-year-old Labrador/retriever cross when a Staffordshire bull terrier ran from a nearby house into the road and “shook Ushi like a rag doll.”

Nearby builders were able to separate the dogs and a woman later pleaded guilty to owning a dog which was dangerously out of control after a court hearing.

The dog was humanely destroyed but thankfully Ushi survived the ordeal.

The incident led to Rose deciding to leave Norris Green and move to Orrell Park, but she is still worried when walking in public.

She said: “It was the first day I was allowed out on my own. I had undergone all the training and was really looking forward to getting out the house again. It felt like I had my independence back.

However, it turned into a nightmare almost as soon as I stepped outside.

“I had only walked two Rose and guide dog Ushi streets away when a lady opened her front door and alone all over again.”

Rose has had glaucoma for 19 years, along with a dog pounced on Ushi. It went straight for her head and dragged her into the road. She was howl- multiple retinal tears to her eyes.

She says the ordeal had a psychological impact on ing and I started screaming.

“The lady whose dog it was shut her door and did her and now fears dogs that are not kept on leads.

She said: “I have a small amount of vision and so nothing. A lovely workman was nearby and managed to separate them and took the other dog away, when I see a dog off its lead I’m terrified.

“It’s affected me mentally. I even had to move out but Ushi lay in the gutter not moving. I thought she of the street I’d lived on all my life because I was dead.”

Thankfully, Ushi survived the attack, but it left a couldn’t bear to be near where the incident happened.” lasting impact on the both of them.

“Irresponsible dog owners just need to put their enough to take me out. Ushi was my first guide dog dogs on a lead. The destruction it can cause is and my lifeline.

“I’d also had two pet dogs, one of which had died unimaginable. What should have been a special day just before Ushi came and the other I had to give was ruined instantly by one horrible moment and I away. When I was left without Ushi, I felt like I was now fear it happening again.”

New plans to redevelop former tower blocks site will see 30 houses built A PLAN to redevelop land previously occupied by two high rise towers in Seaforth has changed – with a new proposal to build 30 houses.

The Champion reported last month how One Vision Housing (OVH) submitted a planning application to build 21 houses, a three storey block of nine flats, a car park and a 'public open space' at the brownfield site.

It used to be the home of Montgomery House and Churchill House before they were demolished in 2016, in an event which hit the national news after a botched explosion meant Montgomery House took ten days to gradually come down.

The new plan is to instead build 30 houses, which would consist of 16 three-bedroom houses, three two-bedroom houses and 11 bungalows.

The Seaforth patch of land is known as Kings Park, and not only used to house Montgomery House and Churchill House, but also the existing Alexander House.

The two demolished blocks of flats were built in the 1960s, but Alexander House is a more modern building, and OVH want it to remain as part of the new-look site.

OVH, based on Dunningsbridge Road, in Bootle, is part of the Sovini Group who want to regenerate the area.

Council could replace car park destroyed in fire Report by Tom Martin THE multi-storey car park next to the Echo Arena which was destroyed in a fire could be replaced by Liverpool City Council.

The local authority is inviting residents to have their say over plans for a new parking facility following the devastating blaze on New Year’s Eve 2017 when around 1,400 vehicles were burnt out.

It is believed the fire could cost insurers more than £20m.

In the aftermath of the fire, the council created a 600 space open car park as a temporary replacement. Now, plans have been drawn up for a number of proposals for a permanent replacement at Monarch’s Quay, King’s Dock.

Other options include the rebuilding of the car park on the existing site.

The decision on the permanent replacement car park will be subject to discussions with

the insurance company.

A consultation event took place at the Liverpool Arena Exhibition Centre on Wednesday, March 21. The event considered the principle of a new park and more detailed proposals will follow.

However, the council will use the opportunity to take on board any recommendations to come from Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service’s report into the fire on New Year’s Eve. The council will look to implement any proposed safety improvements as part of any new car park construction.

Mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson, said: “We are considering a new multi-storey car park on the site and the proposals relate to the size and scale of the building, the number of storeys and capacity.

“The views of the people of Liverpool are really important, so we will look at what residents told us at the consultation The new temporary car park at King’s Dock event.”

Health commissioners hold medicine safety meeting HEALTH commissioners have been discussing their vital work around improving medicine safety with members of a local community group.

Susanne Lynch, head of medicines management and Geraldine O’Carroll, senior manager commissioning and redesign from Sefton’s two clinical commissioning groups (CCGs), were invited to a meeting of People First Merseyside’s Get Involved Group at Bootle Town Hall.

People First Merseyside is an organisation for people with learning disabilities, managed by people with learning disabilities, that has been supporting adults in Merseyside since 1988.

After hearing an update from the CCG team, members of the Get Involved Group had the chance to ask questions about the CCGs’ Repeat Prescription Ordering Scheme (RPOS) as well as other medicine queries they had.

Speaking after the event, Susanne Lynch said: “These events are a really important part of our work as they allow us to hear from the people who use the services and flag up if we need to do things a little differently in future. RPOS was designed to improve patient safety by reducing the amount of unsupervised medicine people have in their homes and from the feedback we have had so far, it appears to be doing exactly that.”

The initiative links in with the local authority ’s 2018 Year of the Volunteer campaign which was unveiled in January.

This campaign, following on from the huge success of last year’s Year of the Coast activities, is designed to celebrate the tireless work of the thousands of volunteers in Sefton, and raise awareness of how much they contribute to life in the borough.

From later in the year, Sefton groups will be able to apply for Volunteering 4 Good grants to help them develop new projects involving volunteers.

The grant pot has already been given a significant kickstart thanks to a contribution of £7,000 from Sefton 4 Good funds and £5,000 from Sefton Council’s Trans- Mayor of Sefton Cllr Dave Robinson with Sefton CVS chief executive Angela White (left) and Sefton Council ition Fund.

Council need to look at bigger Rimrose road should include new picture to solve traffic problems link to alleviate Moor Lane traffic Re: Letter stating that the Edgemoor Drive closure has made Moor Lane one big car park at rush hour.

In reply to the letter on behalf of Crosby commuters I would say the following.

I have worked in Bootle for years and travelled by bus and car at around that time 7-8am each day and Moor lane is NOT a ‘car park’ at that time.

The traffic is not at a standstill.

In fact I think traffic going towards Crosby generally is flowing more freely and we have had lots of comments saying journey times are in fact less or not that much longer.

The road is busy and the Brooms Cross roundabout has made this worse and it would seem to be more of a problem accessing the roundabout towards Southport causing tail backs.

The residents of Edgemoor, Thornfield and Ron-

aldsway are also commuters and have to suffer the same traffic conditions as everyone else but Moor Lane and Edge Lane are main roads, ours are residential.

Would you like to have a ‘car park’ outside your front door during rush hour everyday? Damaged cars, children unable to cross the road etc?

That is what it was like for at least 18 months.

We have tried to take into account comments from everyone, not just the residents of the roads affected to find a solution.

Traffic calming may help but would not be the best solution and I agree that the planners and council should be looking at the bigger picture of traffic problems.

Resident of Thornfield Road and Crosby Commuter, By email

Re: Your article on the plan to build homes on the site of the former Rushton’s Garden Centre in Thornton being rejected by Sefton Council.

This action appears to have resulted after a blocking order was made by Highways England due to their concerns about the site entrance impinging on the proposed Rimrose Valley road.

Sefton Council have been granted a judicial review on the decision to build a road by Highways England on the basis that the building of a tunnel road was not considered as an alternative.

A figure of £225million is the reported cost of the proposed road.

The cost of the completed Brooms Cross Road - 2.6miles - was around £20million.

The question has to be asked why is this road to be so expensive in comparison.

PICTURE of the week

Perhaps the building of a tunnel would cost £200-250million - that is ten times the amount of building a normal highway.

If that is so I think that cost alone will decide the issue in favour of Highways England proposal.

If the road gets the go-ahead Sefton Council should ensure locals do benefit.

It should be agreed that all are able to use this road as a normal route.

The council should also request that a goodwill offering be made by Highways England to build a link from this road to say Chesterfield Road - this would then give a route to midCrosby and Waterloo areas and so alleviate Moor Lane traffic.

Charity helps military families This year, SSAFA the Armed Forces charity will mark 100 years since the end of First World War. The charity, of which I am a proud Ambassador, was there for our Armed Forces family then and they ’re still here for them now.

For over 130 years and through a number of conflicts, SSAFA has shown its commitment to our service men and women, veterans and their families; relieving need, suffering and distress through its network of local branches.

At the outbreak of the First World War, the Government called on SSAFA to take care of the families of soldiers in Lancashire who were going to the front and the charity has been helping military families in the local area ever since.

Throughout 2018, SSAFA will be commemorating all those who served during the Great War and encouraging the public to remember those relatives who fought, while also acknowledging those soldiers and veterans who served in more recent conflicts and need our help today.

To find out more about how you can fundraise, volunteer or support SSAFA in this centenary year, please visit ssafa.org.uk/world-war-100.

Don’t forget the classic car show

Bollard poser

A recent letter writer remarked that little or nothing happened in Lydiate.

For the last ten years the Lydiate Classic Car and Bike Show (raising funds for North West Cancer Research) has been held at Lydiate Parish Hall with exhibitors coming from all over the North West.

There are charity stalls and refreshments in the hall, and outside, as well as the cars and bikes on show.

There are remote control cars for the younger visitors.

Perhaps the letter writer would come along this year on July 1.

There have been letters about the origin of various bollards in Sefton.

This bollard is on Moss Lane in Bootle.

It is on the boundary of Bootle and Walton.

Does anyone know what this one could be?

Trend of saying ‘so’ is beyond annoying I have to agree with One Man & His Dog, (Champion March 28) in regards to the annoying trend of the use of the word ‘So’ being used at the beginning of almost every sentence.

It really grinds my teeth!

There is no good reason to use the word ‘so’ to begin every reply.

If used in context, the word is very appropriate.

However, it seems that almost every sentence voiced on TV these days begins with that word and I do seem to find myself shouting at the TV that the word is unnecessary.

It is becoming unnecessary beyond annoying.

It is time to highlight and stop the overuse of this word!

Well done to OMAHD for highlighting this issue.

Mortgage now out of reach for ‘average’ Sefton resident A NEW report has revealed that the average worker in Sefton needs a 68% pay rise to be able to afford a mortgage.

The National Housing Federation's Home Truths 2017/18 Report, which has broken down figures for areas across the country, has revealed that the average home in Sefton now costs around £183,345, which is seven times the local typical salary, making home ownership impossible for many.

The report also reveals that in Sefton: l The cost of renting privately has added pressure on people’s income. Average monthly rents now stand at £553 swallowing up around 27% of private renters’ income. l Around 13% of Housing Benefit recipients in Sefton are in work, yet are still unable to afford their rent. l The reason for the growing crisis is down to a large shortfall of new housing. Between 2012 and

2016, around 1,640 too few homes were built in Sefton.

Ciaran Tully from the National Housing Federation, said: “The housing market has seen a relentless rise in the gap between house prices and people’s salaries - and Sefton is no exception.

“Attaining a mortgage is increasingly unrealistic and private sector rents make saving up that bit more difficult.

“As this year’s Home Truths report shows, it is more important than ever for the sector to be able to deliver homes that are truly affordable.

“If we want to get serious about ending the housing crisis, we need to start looking at unlocking more land so we can build homes faster.”

The National Housing Federation represents the work of housing associations and campaigns for better housing. For more information, visit housing.org.uk

Health campaign aims to kick junk food into touch

NOW DISPLAYING THE NEW MICHAEL MILLER COLLECTION

Director one of 58 experts to support new scheme Report by Tom Martin

SEFTON’S Director for Public Health has backed a campaign to kick high sugar drinks and junk food into touch.

Matthew Ashton, director of public health for Knowsley and Sefton Councils, is one of 58 health experts who has supported a campaign to protect children from food and drinks that are high in fat, sugar and salt, promoted through football across the UK. The campaign is led by Healthy Stadia and Sugar Smart and aims to tackle the issue of childhood obesity as well as tooth decay.

Many football associations, leagues and some football clubs partner with companies known for products containing high fat, sugar and salt, so health experts have now joined forces to help address this important issue.

Other supporters to the campaign include representatives working in sports development, dental health, sustainability, social housing and the media.

All 58 experts signed a letter which was sent last week to English football clubs, UK National Football Associations, UK league operators and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.

While a response is awaited, further work will continue around raising awareness of the health harms such products cause on children and young people’s health.

Daughter’s death led man to use cannabis By our Court Reporter A MAN from Seaforth prosecuted for growing his own cannabis has told a court that he was using drugs to deal with the death of his 12year-old daughter.

As Steven Strickland, 39, of Sandy Road, appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court it was heard that police attended his home in relation to another matter, when they came across seven cannabis plants behind a locked door in his bedroom.

After pleading guilty to production of cannabis, Strickland was interviewed by probation worker Jackie Dawber who told the court said that he’d had a break down after tragically losing his daughter to cancer in 2013, following which he resorted to heavy drinking and smoking cannabis. “He does not have much recollection of those few years when his daughter first passed away,� she said. “He always held down a full time job, he was a warehouse manager, but has not been the same since this happened. “As a result he could see his life spiralling out of control which was not good for his wife and children.�

Ms Dawber added that he was now no longer using alcohol and was receiving help from his GP and drug addiction treatment centre Ambition Sefton to stop using cannabis, which she said he has used to keep calm. “It has had a major impact on his life, losing his little girl,� she said.

The court heard that Strickland has a separate address from his wife and six children.

Solicitor Vicky Balenski said: “Clearly what has happened to the family is devastating. “Any family would struggle to get through that and his wife says all the family were affected by it. “And speaking to Steven he feels that he has let his family down. But it is fair to say that he has come a long way from where he was. “His wife, his partner of 21 years, has stood by him and the parents are very supportive of the family as well.�

The magistrates sentenced him to 12-month community order, with 15 days of rehabilitative activity, and a six week 7pm-7am curfew. “It’s very good news to us that you clearly have the support of your family and parents,� they said, “Though this is a sentence it can also provide support.�

Speeding driver had ketamine in his blood A MAN from Blundellsands seen undertaking at speed and driving at 60mph in a 40mph zone was found to be driving with an illegal quantity of a drug used in anaesthetics in his blood.

John Mercer, 25, of Burbo Bank Road, drew the attention of police driving in an unmarked police car as he undertook cars at excessive speed along Crosby Road North on January 28.

As he appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court on April 4, prosecutor Daryl Pollard said the officer followed him and as he went on to Rimrose Road, he reached speeds at 60mph – when the speed limit is 40mph.

After being pulled over Mercer failed a road-side drug test for cocaine, Miss Pollard said. Subsequent blood tests showed he was under the limit for cocaine and diazepam, but with respect to ketamine, results showed he had 24 micrograms of the drug per litre of blood – the legal limit is 20mcg/l.

Ketamine is used in pain relief and as an anaesthetic. It also used in operations on humans and animals.

Miss Pollard said that Mercer had no previous convictions but did have cautions for class B drugs from 2009 and 2010 and for class A drugs in 2011.

Solicitor Tony Murphy said the Government had set a very low level for the amount of ketamine allowed in blood, much lower than the 200mcg/l recommended at the time the law was drawn up. “He had taken the drugs three days before being stopped,� Mr Murphy said, “He had not driven during that period. He thought all the drugs would be out of his system having got through Saturday. He genuinely believed there would be no possibility of there being illicit drugs in his body. “He is a taxi driver by trade. He has lost his job.�

The magistrates fined him ÂŁ100 with ÂŁ115 costs, and banned him from driving for 12 months.

Bosses fined for huge waste rubbish site Report by Tom Martin TWO former directors of a waste site in Bootle have been fined a combined £17,700 after they illegally dumped more than 200 tonnes of rubbish at their yard.

Father and son David and Dean Tiplady were found guilty of breaching Environmental Permits when they ran Spotmix on Hawthorne Road, off Acorn Way. Each defendant pleaded guilty to six charges for their involvement in the now liquidated company, with Dean receiving a fine of £13,800 and David getting £3,900.

Dean was also ordered to pay £120 victim surcharge and David a £65 victim surcharge, as well as being told to pay £5,000 each towards the Environment Agency’s investigation costs.

The Champion reported in August last year how a huge blaze erupted at the site after Spotmix had left. Even though the company had gone bust at this point, in mitigation a court heard that the pair should take on some of the responsibility.

The fire was so bad that it lasted five days, roads had to be closed, nearby businesses were affected and locals complained that they could smell fumes as far as Switch Island and Seaforth.

The Environment Agency’s lengthy investigation identified that stored waste on site had exceeded the permitted limit of 230 tonnes, waste was also outside the transfer building which meant it was open to the weather, producing odour and allowing litter to escape the sites.

The company had also allowed mud from the site to be tracked from vehicles onto the public highway, creating a nuisance and a potential risk to road safety.

Simon Hurst, the Environment Agency’s area environment manager, said: “This case along with others this year demonstrates that we are clamping down on illegal activity. When operators fail to keep within the limits of their environmental permit, as

The fire at the waste site in Bootle last year

the Tiplady’s have, we take robust enforcement action against offenders to protect communities and the environment from their activities.

“We know illegal waste sites can cause severe damage to the environment and misery for local residents. We are determined to make life hard for criminals. If you have any suspicions that waste is being deposited on your land please contact the Environment Agency or the police as soon as possible.”

In mitigation the court heard how Spotmix Ltd had been a long term family business and the breaches were caused by the failure of a piece of machinery the company had installed with a view to reducing the quantity of waste it was sending to landfill.

The machinery failure had led to a stockpile of waste which the company were unable to deal with.

When financiers eventually pulled their backing the defendants were forced to close down the company.

The court acknowledged that the directors of the company had made efforts to engage with the Environment Agency but ultimately they failed to heed the Environment Agency’s warnings.

The Champion reported in January how new owners of the site, Mees Group, are in the process of removing the huge piles of waste from the site.

If you see waste crime, it can be reported by calling 0800 80 70 60 or anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Movie for Matt raises £1,200 Report by Tom Martin

Sean Jones

Man wanted on recall for intent to cause fear of violence could have a firearm POLICE are hunting a man from Seaforth who is wanted on recall to prison on suspicion of possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence.

Sean Jones, 22, who is described as white, 5ft 9in tall, of proportional build, with brown hair and brown eyes, is potentially dangerous and police are warning members of the public not to approach him.

Also wanted is Craig Ford, 25, from Liverpool, who is described as white, 5ft 5in tall, of slim build, with fair hair and brown eyes.

Extensive efforts have been made by the police to find them but they remain missing and officers are requesting information from the public to find them.

Anyone who has seen Jones or Ford or has any information about their whereabouts is asked to contact us via Twitter @MerPolCC quoting reference 18200066320.

You can also call 101 or the independent charity @CrimestoppersUK anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

A SPECIAL screening at the Plaza Cinema has helped raise more than £1,200 for Litherland dad Matt Henderson.

As reported in the Champion, Matt was diagnosed with advanced oesophageal cancer and told by doctors that his only hope is to raise around £200,000 to fly over to America for specialist treatment.

So far, his family and friends have helped raise an incredible £170,000 and the latest charity event was held at Waterloo's Plaza Cinema when they showed 1985 hit film The Goonies. Matt attended the event personally and spoke before the film to thank the 200-strong audience

for attending. Organisers Robbie and Lindsay Boardman said: “We had 200 people there and watched The Goonies and the Plaza were amazing and put up a good luck sign to Matt on the front of the cinema!

“We dealt with Martin Fol the Plaza manager all the way through and nothing was too much trouble, he was great. Matt is getting very close to his target of £200,000 so any more donations would be greatly appreciated.”

On Saturday, April 28, a special 'homeware attic sale' will be held on St Helen's Church, in Crosby, from 1pm for Matt’s cause.

A CROSBY man who did not know he had been banned from driving because he had failed to update his driving licence with a new address and so wasn't informed of a court hearing, has ended up being prosecuted for driving while disqualified.

Mark Stoll, 27, of Valley Close, appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court on April 4, where he pleaded guilty to driving while disqualified and driving without insurance.

The court heard that he was pulled over by police on the Northern Road, Crosby, on March 20. He had been banned from driving for six months in January of this year at a court hearing that was held in his absence.

The reason for the disqualification was not said in court.

Prosecutor Jane Stacey said: “He did not know about it. He did not attend the court case and was not aware of the disqualification. He had failed to tell the DVLA and authorities that he had moved.”

Ms Stacey added that Stoll had “traffic related” matters on record but nothing recent.

Saying that it was a technical offence that does not arise very often, solicitor David Kilty said: “Mr Stoll has not kept his paperwork up to date but no one can say that he done this on purpose. He was not trying to evade detection, because he is the person who is going to be punished.”

The magistrates fined him £250, ordered that he pay costs and victim surcharge of £115 and banned him from driving for six months.

You don’t need a badge to let people know who you are I SPOTTED a story a couple of weeks ago that at first amused me.

Brighton and Hove Council have apparently given all their staff so-called Gender ID badges with the intention of showing anyone who wishes to talk to them whether they prefer to be called ‘he’, ‘she’ or ‘their ’ - and no, I haven’t the foggiest what ‘their' is supposed to represent either.

Worry not though - if you don't fancy being a ‘their ’ , where the badges say ‘My Pronouns Are...’ you can fill in one which better describes what or who you are.

Apparently these ‘right on’ councillors thought this such a wizard idea that they have decided that this appalling idea should be extended to the local populace generally.

If you live in Brighton you too can join in as part of the Council's #MyPronounsAre campaign.

You might be forgiven for thinking that any local authority, plagued as they are by savage budget cuts, might rather keep its parks, libraries or children's services up and running than to introduce crack-pot schemes designed to conquer problems that would not exist if we hadn't been told that they do - but no.

One Tessa Marshall (whether he, she, their or ‘other ’ I don't know) the University of Brighton's ‘Equalities Engagement Adviser’ (Brighton University too seems awash with spare cash) is quoted as saying: “Not making assumptions and taking the opportunity to find out how someone should be addressed benefits us all and is integral to supporting and respecting our students, colleagues and visitors.”

I don't know about you, but when I meet someone I do not usually worry about whether they are a ‘she’ or a ‘their ’ - but I am reasonably that I have rarely, if ever, given offence by asking a woman if she prefers her first name, Miss, Mrs or Ms to be used - Indeed, surely this indicates a willingness to respect her wishes than to wear at a badge (after I have found my specs).

But I'm afraid at least one Brighton councillor would probably have me hung, drawn and quartered for such an act of disrespect.

Councillor Emma Daniel (again she doesn't appear to have filled in the three boxes) reckons we all define our own gender and should respect other folks' identities and rights.

And yes, I'd go along with that - until she continues: “Who a person is may not be defined easily. If someone's pronouns differ from what you assume , it’s for you to adapt and it's OK to ask, Read the badge, respect people, it's that easy.”

What my pronouns are is my business - and as long as you stick to society’s norms I’ll be quite happy.

Certainly more so than Brighton and Hove's gobbledegook - and even more so than the system apparently adopted by the HSBC bank.

They've gone one better and introduced ten 'gender neutral' titles for trans and non-binary customers (how do they know?), allowing them to choose between Mx. Ind, M, Mre, Msr, Myr, Pr, Sai, Ser or Misc.

I’d choose alright. I’d choose to move my account to the Bank of Toytown.

What gender any person chooses or for that matter is forced to be is entirely their business and I respect their wishes.

But does it really matter if the totally made-up titles such as Mre, Pr or Ser are used? I honestly don’t know how to pronounce most of them, let alone have any conception as to their meaning.

Until a very few years ago we all got along reasonably well with Mr, Miss or Mrs - and Ms was a reasonable addition to the fold. It defeats me why anyone should want to point out their differences.

Just as I can honestly say that two of the best friends I have had in my life were gay, they did not, for instance, wander into a strange pub and announce to the world at large their sexual preferences.

Not because they were ashamed, but because they simply fitted into society by being who they were.

And that might be the trick. Know exactly who you are - and without badges or loud hailers, get on with life.

Tree planted to celebrate growth of town’s WI group IT was not so much Jam and Jerusalem as Cakes and Maghull as the town’s Woman’s Institute celebrated its fifth birthday recently.

The flourishing WI celebrated with the planting of a Silver Birch tree in the gardens of KGV park followed by afternoon tea with home-made cakes in the Town Hall.

Maghull WI president Jean Kelly said they had decided on a tree as a living and growing symbol of the group’s aim of bringing women of all ages together in friendship.

Around 60 members attend monthly meetings at ‘The Venue’ in Maghull Town Hall on the first Monday of every month, at 7.30pm.

WI secretary Eve Craig said: “We don’t make jam - but we do make cakes!

“We have a variety of speakers and various groups for different interests, from walking to diving, as well as visits to places of interest.”

Maghull Mayor Councillor June Burns with WI president Jean Kelly and members.

ENTERTAINMENT

Guitar legends celebrated Rebecca looking forward to coming back to region with touring production Interview by Henry James REBECCA Mendoza, who is playing Tracy Turnblad in the touring production of the musical Hairspray, is looking forward to performing at the Liverpool Empire – the nearest theatre to her hometown of Hoylake.

The 24-year-old is making her professional debut in the show which began touring the UK and Ireland from August 2017.

She said: “I have had an absolute ball in this show – it has been an incredible time. Almost every Sunday we have been packing up and moving to a new place. The tour has taken us to Dublin, Inverness and to places such as Southampton and Plymouth. We have been to some cool places and the show has been here, there and everywhere.

“I am from Hoylake in the Wirral, so apart from the Floral Pavilion in New Brighton, I would consider the Liverpool Empire my home theatre.

“I can’t wait to appear at the Empire. Eight years ago I went to see Hairspray at the Empire with my sister. Afterwards I wrote on Facebook that I would love to be part of this show one day and coincidentally it was on the same day eight years later that I first appeared in the touring production.

“When I was younger I appeared in the Empire youth productions of West Side Story and Bugsy Malone. When we

THE Story of Guitar Heroes is due to be performed at Southport Theatre on Thursday, April 26 at 7.30pm.

Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Hank Marvin, Brian May and Slash are just some of the outstanding guitar heroes people will have a chance to experience in one show.

This live concert style 'rockumentry' is performed by a talented musician Phil Walker, and his band.

With over 20 guitars used on stage, the show accurately recreates the sound and ambiance of each guitar hero starting from the 1950s to the present day.

The production offers the very latest in video screen technology to create a larger than life event.

come to the Empire there must be about 300 tickets booked in my name. It is going to be a noisy one.”

Rebecca is playing the female lead, Tracy Turnblad, in Hairspray which has music by Marc Shaiman and lyrics by Scott Wittman. She commented: “Tracy is the protagonist of the story. She is a larger than life girl with huge hair and a big personality and is desperate to dance on her favourite TV show.

“She tackles so many obstacles along the way with people saying she does not look right.

“She petitions for black and white people to dance together

on TV, and she is a hugely strong independent young girl that fights for what is right.”

Norman Pace is also appearing in the show, which has received both Tony and Olivier awards and has the tune You Can’t Stop The Beat among its soundtrack.

Rebecca commented: “Hairspray includes a fun-filled bubble gum story that includes incredible music that you can’t stop toe tapping to. It also includes important problems such as segregation and racism. It has something for all ages.”

Hairspray will be on at the Liverpool Empire from Monday, April 16 until Saturday, April 21.

Stars reveal hopes ahead of launch of Romeo and Juliet nterview by Danielle Thompson THE stars of a new production of Romeo and Juliet have spoken to the Champion ahead of the show’s opening tonight (Wednesday, April 11).

Daniel Taylor Productions are holding alternating matinee and evening performances of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet (R&J) and A Midsummer’s Night’s Dream (AMND) at The Epstein Theatre in Liverpool from tonight until Saturday, April 21.

The adaptation of Romeo and Juliet is quirkily re-imagined in 1880s strife torn Protestant and Catholic Liverpool, exploring the destructive impact of religious sectarianism close to home.

The star-crossed lovers are caught between their feuding noble families, the Catholic Montagues and Protestant Capulets, resulting in tragic consequences. Passionate young love and the destructive impact of divided communities are prominent themes in this fresh adaptation of what is widely regarded as the greatest love story of all time.

James Ledsham, 28 and Faye Griffiths, 19, shared how excited they both are to star in the alternating performances of the plays, which they hope will be ‘an exciting extra challenge for them both.

Performing as Juliet will be the first lead role for Faye, who will also play Peaseblossom in AMND. She said: “We are all so determined to get it right and the cast, who are so supportive and work really well together, are so excited. It will be so different performing it on stage rather than rehearsing in the studio, so I just ca’'t wait to perform it live.”

James, who will also play Fairy in AMND, added: “We really believe that moving R&J from Verona to 19th Century Liverpool will make it more accessible to a wider audience and make it feel more relevant. It’s such an exciting project, with a lot of sensory elements as well as visual. There’s a lot going on behind the scenes for us to surprise the audience with!”

Tickets cost between £16 for a weekday matinee to £21 for a weekend evening performance and can be bought from The Epstein online at epsteinliverpool.co.uk or by calling 08448884411.

I IMAGINE there are quite a lot of entries under ‘K’ on the waiting list for RollsRoyce’s next model; Kanye, Kim, Khloe and Kourtney for starters.

When you name your new model after the world’s biggest diamond it’s inevitable that it’s going to end up with rather bling connotations, even before it’s launched. But then that’s the Rolls-Royce Cullinan all over – it’s a Range Rover for people who consider the Range Rover a bit too common. It’s an offroader with a whisper-quiet V12 where the establishment makes do with ‘just’ a supercharged V8. A toff-roader, if you will.

It is a completely pointless, jacked-up Phantom that in reality will never venture any further than a slightly damp stretch of field immediately outside Aintree Racecourse or the Royal Birkdale – in fact, you’re more likely to see one appearing on MTV Base alongside someone whose name begins with K. But that doesn’t stop me liking it. Bentley and Jaguar doing posh mud-pluggers just doesn’t sit right with their carefully honed collective heritage as custodians of wellheeled driving fun, but a Rolls-Royce offroader is so delightfully silly that it might just work. It’s Kingsman in automotive form; still refined enough to insist that you call its offerings motor cars, but in the background it’s teaming up with The Who’s Roger Daltry for its charity ventures, letting grime artist Skepta spec up the speakers on its one-offs and allowing its older cars to take part in marvellously OTT displays at the Goodwood Revival.

So the idea of taking your Cullinan to the Arctic Circle and lording it over everyone slumming it in Toyota pick-ups – and RollsRoyce has been testing the new car there, just to make sure it’ll cope – fits in perfectly with the manufacturer’s softly spoken sense of fun.

If it can haul itself up the same mucky hill as a Range Rover, but in a much more needlessly expensive way, then so be it. The one per cent have been doing pointless things with RollsRoyces for generations, and the Cullinan fits in perfectly.

And if any pub bores do wander over (and it’ll be a very upmarket pub, presumably) and start piping up about how Rolls-Royce shouldn’t be doing off-roaders, then you can point out that it was taking on remote places and winning long before Jeeps and Land Rovers were even conceived. In the 1920s farmers used to travel around the Australian Outback in Silver Ghosts because they were the toughest things on the market. So the Cullinan does have off-roading pedigree.

So I like Rolls’ toff-roader because it’s a completely needless car that I’ll never be able to afford. Unless I change my name to one with beginning with K, of course…

Purples made to battle for thrilling home victory City Of Liverpool 3 Burscough 2

CITY battled hard for this win with the visitors equalising twice before the Purples got the winner ten minutes from time in front of a crowd of 431.

The Purples soon put the pressure on Burscough, with goalkeeper Josh Samberg swiftly diving to his right to keep out an Anthony Brown header.

COL struck in the fifth minute with an excellent strike low into the bottom corner of the net after tidy build-up with Luke Denson at its heart put the ball to David Forbes feet on the eighteen yard line, and the centre-forward netted with his left foot.

Burscough equalised when Chad Whyte pounced on hesitancy in the home defence in the 14th minute, Terry Cummings ran into space and sent a cross into the 18 yard box, Whyte went after it and as one defender left it for the other, Whyte lifted the ball over goalkeeper Ben Ascroft.

Within in a minute COL almost scored but Samberg left his line to pull off a tremendous save.

The hosts dominated possession and one minute into added time Forbes held the ball up well and it was released to the highly mobile Jack Hazelhurst, who switched feet and fired low into the goal.

Burscough bounced out after the restart and within a minute Whyte headed fractionally over the angle of bar and post from a corner.

In the 48th minute Burscough were awarded a free-kick and Jamie Clark lined it up, but instead of his usual power strike he delicately floated the ball over the home defence, Whyte ran onto it and headed home the second Linnets equaliser.

Livewire Hazelhurst had a shot cleared off the line then Burscough went on the attack and Prince Ekpolo ran past two men and shrugged off another as he ran into the penalty area, the next challenge on him was late, but instead of falling over he staggered on and shot over the crossbar.

In the 70th minute Samberg made a double save from Francis Smith, then in the 76th minute appeals for a Linnets penalty were turned away by the referee when Cummings was tackled from behind.

The ball went straight up the end and Burscough captain Danny Brady cleared off the line. It was thrilling stuff.

In the 79th minute COL keeper Ascroft kept out Josh Dunroe with a full length dive.

Two minutes later COL won a corner, the ball went to the far post, Luke Denson ran in unmarked and had a simple task of putting them 3-2 in front.

The Purples held out for the win despite some late pressure from the Linnets.

City are due to visit Abbey Hey tonight (Wednesday) and visit Barnoldswick Town on Saturday.

Remyca stay top after another win Litherland Remyca 2 Abbey Hulton 0 LITHERLAND Remyca’s impressive run continued as they clocked up their seventh win in a row to stay top of the table.

Two second half goals from Foy and Murphy ensured Remyca pick up another three points, keeping them ahead of Silsden by one point, although they have a game in hand.

Remyca now have six games to try and clinch the league title, with their next opponent coming in the form of Bacup Borough away tomorrow evening (Thursday, April 12).

They are then away at St Helen’s Town on Saturday.

Washout for Bucks BOOTLE’S match at Padiham on Saturday was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

The Bucks were due to host Burscough last night (Tuesday) and are due to travel to Irlam on Saturday.

First away victory since December for Mariners

Shaw Lane 1 Marine 3 MARINE won their first away game since December to give them a muchneeded three points in their battle for survival.

The victory is even more impressive considering Shaw Lane are vying for a play-off place and previously beat the Mariners 2-1 in the reverse fixture in January.

The win means Marine move up to 19th place in the table and onto 45 points, which is ten points fewer than last season's 55 point tally when they finished 18th.

Marine were clear underdogs going into the match, with the Crosby side's last away win in the league coming before Christmas, when on December 21 they beat Rushall Olympic 2-0.

Shaw Lane started the brighter of the two sides and took the lead in the 15th minute from a Kelvin Lugsden corner which was met at the near post by Paul Clayton who finished well.

Marine responded emphatically and seven minutes later they were level. A free-kick was floated into the box, res-

Marine put pressure on Shaw Lane with a free-kick close to goal. Picture by Richard Cross.

ulting in a volleyed goal by Adam Hughes. On 32 minutes Marine had the lead. Again it was through a free-kick, this time a Thomas Field effort which was deflected into the net.

The Mariners managed to hold on until half time, meaning the sides went into the break with the away side leading 2-1. Midway through the second half and Marine scored their third goal and put the match out of reach from Shaw Lane.

Liam Tongue got on the scoresheet with a header at the back post which

flew into the back of the net, giving the home goalkeeper no chance of saving it.

Marine were put under some late pressure by play-off chasing Shaw Lane, but managed to hold on for a comfortable away victory, much to the delight of manager Tommy Lawson.

Next up for Marine is an away game this Saturday against Coalville Town.

It could prove to be a crucial game in the relegation scrap, with Coalville Town only two points behind Marine in the table, having played a game more.

Marine have climbed up to 19th place in the table

Last minute penalty from Booth seals victory for Waterloo at Manchester Manchester 22 Firwood Waterloo 25 GAMES between these two sides have always been well contested affairs and Saturday’s encounter was little different.

With Manchester close to the relegation zone this was a game they could not afford to lose.

Firwood Waterloo have no such problems and could have been forgiven for easing off the pedal save they are still smarting over nine points deducted due to the debacle of St Benedicts.

Yet rugby is unforgiving and the visitors showed enough grit and determination to leave the home

side still unsure of their league status next term despite gleaning two bonus points.

Firwood Waterloo had made a number of changes to their normal starting line up with some unfamiliar names on the team sheet.

Manchester as expected began well with two tries and a conversion to take a 12-0 lead, Firwood Waterloo replied with a try from Tenev, the back row up in support of a break by Luke Nelson and taking advantage of quick recycled ball. Tom Booth added the conversion and with a later penalty the visitors went in trailing 12-10.

Manchester went over for a try after the restart but a try from

Jonny Roberts, the scrum half going fifty metres, picking up from the second ruck following a line out, Booth's conversion levelling matters at 17-17.

Manchester were not finished and regained the lead with a fourth try to secure the try bonus point.

Yet again Firwood Waterloo came back with a try on the back of another break by Nelson, this time Scott Robinson coming up in support on the inside to level the scores for a second time.

With time running out a last minute penalty from Booth sealed the win for the visitors with the home side taking a second bonus

for losing within seven.

Head coach Stu Turner said: “We could have sat back but the players really got stuck in and came away with a well deserved victory.

“We thought it a good opportunity to give some of our up and coming youngsters a chance and brought in a new centre combination of Tom Perrin and Ross Green with Bulgarian international Alex Tenev and Josh Jenkins in the back row with an eye on next season.

“It was really ‘nip and tuck’, but we came away with what we wanted.”

This Saturday Firwood Waterloo are at home to Carlisle, the final home game of the season.

Bootle and Northern bolstered by new recruits for coming season THE 2018 Liverpool & District Cricket Competition gets underway a week on Saturday on April 21.

Several clubs have been busy over the winter months recruiting new players.

Last season’s Premier Division runners up Bootle have also been busy with skipper Craig Prince managing to secure the services of prolific batsman Will Hale from Sheffield Hallam, left arm spinner Bharat Tripathi from Burnley and top order batsman Sam Kershaw from Rainhill.

Southport & Birkdale skipper Chris Firth may have lost the services of Chris Brownlow to Northern but has signed the vastly experienced Gary Keedy from Formby as player/coach.
