Metro Mayor marks first year in office

STATION MEMORIAL UNVEILED TO TRACK TRAGEDY YOUNGSTER Report by Tom Martin A NEW MEMORIAL has been unveiled at Bootle Oriel Road train station to a local youngster who died when he stepped on a live rail track.

The memorial is a replacement statue after the previous one was wrecked by vandals last November.

Stephen Nesbitt, who lived in Bootle, was just eight years old when he tragically stood on the railway line and lost his life in August 2003.

On what would have been Stephen's 23rd birthday, the memorial statue was revealed at the station in front of his mum, Elaine, and Merseyrail’s managing director, Andy Heath along with pupils from Everton Free School who donated a bench to go alongside the memorial.

It is hoped the memorial will act as a stark reminder for other children of the dangers of the railway lines.

Elaine, who was left devastated when the previous memorial was wrecked, wanted to get a replacement and Merseyrail were able to redesign the memorial out of granite for greater durability.

It features the original design of a little boy holding a ball, inspired by Stephen’s love of football and Everton FC.

Stephen’s mum, Elaine, and Andy Heath, Merseyrail's managing director, at the statue

Elaine said: “I was absolutely heartbroken when Stephen’s memorial was destroyed. It had been there for 14 years and was so well respected and cared for by everyone in our local community who knew and loved Stephen dearly.

“People would often leave flowers there and nearby schools would take pupils along to it and give them lessons on rail safety. It was hugely important, not just to my family, but to everyone

“I'm so happy that a new memorial statue has been placed at the station because it was always a popular feature there and a lot of people knew about it.

“I asked for the unveiling to happen on what would have been Stephen's 23rd birthday so it was good that Merseyrail were able to arrange this. Continued inside

Animal Aid Charity, on County Road

Walton cat charity hits fundraising target to secure future of shop A CAT rescue charity based in Walton has taken a huge step in securing its future after they raised £20,000 to make their current base a permanent home.

The Champion reported last month how volunteers from Animal Aid Charity, on County Road, were told by the building owner that the property had been placed on the market.

It meant the charity faced an uncertain future unless they raised around £20,000 to help purchase the premises and become the new owners of the building.

They have been busy fundraising and managed to raise nearly £17,000, and on Thursday, May 3 revealed they had hit their target following a generous £3,000 donation from a mystery person.

A spokesperson for the charity said: “I've had a wonderful and long conversation with a gentleman, outside of Liverpool who was very interested in our appeal and the work we do. He asked us how much we needed to raise for the full deposit and then deposited £3,000 into our bank, ten minutes after our phone call.

“He wants to remain anonymous so I'm obliged to honour that wish but even though he's not on social media we are so thankful for his help and kindness. We are now ready to pay our full deposit and the building is ours.”

Prolific burglar who would dress like a workman is jailed By our Court Reporter A PROLIFIC burglar who broke into homes in Crosby and Southport has been jailed.

Gerard Sanders, of no fixed address, pleaded guilty to the eight burglaries in Sefton and Wirral between January 5 and February 6 this year.

Liverpool Crown Court heard how he hurled a garden gnome through a patio door to enter one property in the Wirral and stole jewellery but as he was then spotted running away and discarded the bag of loot.

Sanders, 34, would dress like a workman wearing a hi-vis jacket and beanie hat.

Liverpool Crown Court heard that it was the third time he has appeared for sentence as a “third strike burglar” and jailing him for four years four months a judge warned him that unless he stops such offending he will receive longer and longer sentences.

Jewellery was taken by him in all but one of the break-ins and Judge Gary Woodhall said much of it had great sentimental value for the victims and they had all been left upset by the intrusion and ransacking of their homes.

“You say it is killing your mother but it has not dissuaded you from committing these

Gerard Sanders

offences,” he added.

Iain Criddle, prosecuting, said that the stolen property ran into more than £15,000 and he also caused considerable damage during the raids, including smashing a Victorian cabinet which had great sentimental value.

He first struck at a property in Southport on January 5 and made off with jewellery and a mobile phone. He then hopped onto a train and went to a home in Merrilocks Road, Blundellsands where he stole £3,000 worth of jewellery, cash and a bicycle.

On January 24 he returned broke into a house in Dowhills Road in Blundellsands by smashing the patio door and stole a £7000 Breitling watch and then got back on the train and went to Formby.

Mr Criddle said that he used a concrete planter to smash his way into a house where he again stole jewellery of great sentimental value and left a muddy trail across the carpet.

As in the other burglaries he made an “untidy search” of the premises during which he “smashed to pieces” a Victorian cabinet.

He returned to Blundellsands on February 6 and raided a home in Warren Road where he stole an iPhone, an iPad and jewellery.

Mr Criddle said Sanders had also raided three homes on the Wirral in those two months and made off with jewellery from each property.

When arrested Sanders, who has committed 90 previous offences, made no comment.

Some of the stolen property has been recovered including a necklace that his girlfriend was found to be wearing.

David Woods, defending, said Sanders had been released from prison last August and went to live with his mum in Utting Avenue, Liverpool, but she had to move in with her mother and there was no room for him.

He became homeless and developed a heroin addiction and returned to committing burglary offences.

He was now motivated to keep out of trouble because he knows it is upsetting his mum.

Council appoints its first female Head of Planning

Samantha Campbell

LIVERPOOL City Council has appointed Samantha Campbell as its first female Head of Planning.

Samantha has worked at the city council since Autumn 1999 and has risen through the ranks of the Planning Department to hold various posts such as Principal Planning Officer, Deputy Team Leader of Urban Design and Heritage Team and City Centre Co-ordinator.

Her 19 year career at the council has led Samantha to take a lead planning role in a number of major regeneration schemes from Kings Dock to Liverpool FC's stadium expansion.

As Head of Planning her brief will be to also oversee the development of emerging growth

zones in the city such as north Liverpool's Ten Streets development and the new Beatles Quarter.

Talking of her historic appointment, Samantha said: “I’m delighted to be Liverpool’s new Head of Planning and it’s a real honour to be the first female officer in this role.

Hopefully the first of many more to come!

“Liverpool is undergoing phenomenal change and although this presents a great many challenges in terms of which areas need developing and how, it also provides huge opportunities to make the city a better place to live, work and visit.

“Liverpool’s World Heritage status is a fascinating issue to be involved and I’m lucky to be at the heart of many exciting projects that

will shape the city for generations to come.

“I’ve learnt a great deal over the years and I’m looking forward to using all that experience to continue to build on existing relationships to promote a positive, engaging and customer focused planning department.”

Mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson said: “I wish Samantha every success in her new role.

She has a great track record working on some of the biggest schemes the city has seen and her expertise will be invaluable to the city council.

“Liverpool is undergoing unprecedented growth and with our ambition to create thousands of homes and develop areas like Ten Streets, the Head of Planning will play a key role in ensuring that growth is sustained.”

Labour tightens grip on seats in local elections Balloons were released into the air in Stephen's memory

New memorial unveiled to tragic youngster after vandal attack on old one From page 1 “The statue is a reminder for other children of the dangers of the railway line so hopefully this will help prevent anything like this from ever happening again.”

The memorial has been given a new location at the station and is now in the garden at the station’s forecourt so it is more visible for rail users.

Youngsters from Everton Free School have also donated a bench they have designed for Stephen, which has been placed next to his memorial at the station.

Elaine added: “I’m incredibly grateful to Merseyrail for replacing Stephen’s memorial and for all they have done for my family over the years.

“I’m also deeply touched that the children from Everton Free School have designed a bench for Stephen- he

‘The statue is a reminder for other children of the dangers of the railway line’ would have loved it as it is so special.

“I hope the new memorial will serve as a lasting legacy to Stephen and be a message to children to never play on the railway as I would never want another family to experience the pain we have been through.”

Andy Heath, managing director of Merseyrail, said: “I’ve been working at Merseyrail for 20 years now and

Stephen’s death is a day I’ll never forget.

“I was horrified to hear about the mindless vandalism of his memorial which is why our team worked hard to replace it with another fitting tribute, that not only honours his life but serves as a stark reminder to other children about the importance of rail safety.

“We hope this will give Elaine and Stephen’s family some comfort in the knowledge that he will never be forgotten.

“We are also grateful to the children at Everton Free School who have shown such wonderful community spirit and compassion for his family by donating the bench which will allow them to sit and reflect by his memorial.” tom.martin@champnews.com

LABOUR held all its seats in north Liverpool in last Thursday’s local elections.

As expected, candidates representing the Labour Party triumphed in the wards of Anfield, County, Everton and Kirkdale after voters took the polls on May 3.

In total across Liverpool City Council, there were 30 wards seats up for grabs, with elected councillors tasked with representing their constituents.

Although Labour held the majority of their seats, they didn’t have much to celebrate overall as they lost three seats to the Liberal Democrats.

The results for north Liverpool are as follows: Anfield Billy Marrat (Lab) 1,772 Christopher Smith (Con) 140 Wiebke Ruterjans (Lib Dems) 134

Fire erupted at site of waste company A WASTE company which stores flammable materials was at the centre of the huge fire that broke out last week in Kirkdale – and firefighters have ruled out arson.

The Champion reported last week how the blaze, on Monday, April 30, on Redfern Street, saw

huge flames erupt from the site, which is next to the railway line.

It has now emerged that the factory is owned by Greenway Environmental, and that Merseyside Fire and Rescue believe it was not started deliberately.

Fire officials also revealed they received more than 100

calls from concerned residents who spotted the fire.

The blaze brought trains to a halt, nearby streets including Stanley Road and Ball Hall Road were closed off and officials advised locals to keep their windows and doors shut as a safety precaution.

Liverpool Central named one of most popular train stations in country LIVERPOOL Central train station has been named one of the most popular in the UK. Independent watchdog Transport Focus took the views of more than 28,000 people at 56 stations for its ranking.

Of those surveyed at Liverpool Central station, 91% said they were satisfied which placed it sixth highest in Britain.

By comparison, the most popular was London King's Cross with 96%

satisfaction, and at the other end of the scale Glasgow Queen Street was the most unpopular with 58%.

Transport Focus said the top priorities for passengers were arrival time information, waiting rooms and the overall look of the station when it carried out the survey between September and November last year.

Merseyrail say that Liverpool Central is one of the busiest stations outside London.

Drug driver wasn’t wearing seat belt A DRUG-DRIVER was caught when police pulled him over for not wearing a seat belt.

When Marc Brown, 32, of Fernhill Road, Bootle, appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court, prosecutor Andrew Page said that police were on patrol on Linacre Lane when they saw Mr Brown driving in the opposite direction without his seat belt.

After stopping him to speak about the matter, a routine road-side drugs test was also carried out which tested positive for cocaine.

Subsequent blood tests at Wirral Police Station showed that he was driving with 763 micrograms of benzoylecgonine per litre of blood, the legal limit being 50mcg/l. Benzoylecgonine is formed in the liver by the metabolism of cocaine.

Mr Page told the court that Brown had previously been in court for failing to provide a specimen for analysis when he was disqualified from driving for 18 months.

Magistrates fined him £500, ordered that he pay costs and victim surcharge of £135, and banned him from driving for 18 months, concurrent to his previous ban.

Disqualified motorist was caught driving a car that was only insured for a woman A NETHERTON man was caught driving while disqualified after police detected that he was driving a car that was only insured to be driven by a woman.

Henry Williams, 70, of Joseph Lister Close, pleaded guilty to driving while disqualified and also to driving without insurance when he appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court on May 2.

Andrew Page, prosecuting, said he was stopped in his partner’s car on Glovers Lane, Netherton, on the afternoon of April 14. He had been banned from driving for five years in 2006 with a requirement that he take an extended driving test before being allowed to recover his licence, Mr Page said.

Solicitor John Brown said that court powers to order a retest are discretionary and that through the “mists of time Mr Williams had not appreciated that to be the case”.

Emphasising that he had not driven during the long period since the disqualification, Mr Brown added that Williams thought he was a named driver on his partner’s insurance policy. He said police had treated him fairly and gave him advice about to how to recover his licence.

“The matter came up because he was driving a female only insured vehicle,” he said.

The magistrates fined him £80 and ordering him to pay £115 in costs and victim surcharge, added six points to his driving licence when he recovers it.

Man, 20, in fight for his life after hit and run in Everton A 20-YEAR-OLD pedestrian is fighting for his life after the driver of a stolen car crashed into him while fleeing the police in Everton.

Community centre marks 20th year anniversary Report by Tom Martin STAFF and volunteers at a community centre which supports hundreds of people every week are celebrating its 20th anniversary.

The L30 Community Centre, which opened in 1998 and is funded by the Big Lottery Fund, provides the space for classes such as arts and crafts, cupcake making, yoga and knit and natter groups.

Each of the sessions is taught by volunteers who are local people passionate about their subject, enabling other community members to learn from them and acquire new skills.

Rather than simply arranging activities at the centre and inviting local people to attend, the L30 Community Centre enables the community to take the lead on what they want to see happening and supports them to share their talents and passions.

Last year it received £296,000 of National Lottery funding to support its work over the next four years.

This has allowed the centre to recruit new members of staff dedicated to expanding their programme of activities, working alongside more members of the community and encouraging them to get involved.

Debbie Stephens, chief executive at the L30 Community Centre, said: “We’re all about building on what’s strong, not what’s wrong. I’ve been involved with this centre for more than 17 years and I’ve seen first-hand that we need to be supporting our residents rather than simply providing services for them.

“We are empowering our community, giving them the confidence to achieve their dreams, all while creating a fun and social environment.

“It’s thanks to players of The National Lottery that

Plaza to host variety charity show VARIETY shows are set to be held at Waterloo’s Plaza Cinema once a month after the launch event in April proved to be a big hit with locals.

The first show was on Monday, April 16 attended by the Mayor of Sefton Cllr Dave Robinson and featuring entertainment from comedian Denny Waters and singers Sally Anne and Steve Charles.

Next month’s event, which will be held on Monday, May 14 will feature singer Scott Johns, comedienne Pauline Daniels and singer George Gallagher.

The events are organised by Crosby resident Julie Lawson, with the money raised from the £4 entry fee going to the Alzheimer ’s Society.

The charity is close to Julie’s heart, as she lost both her parents to the illness in 2014, tragically only seven weeks apart.

The two-hour long variety shows are intended for older members of the community who may feel alone or isolated, but anyone is welcome and there is no age restriction.

James Bulger’s mum Fastest man on believes killer should one leg pens his autobiography keep his anonymity Report by Tom Martin THE mum of James Bulger believes killer Jon Venables should keep his anonymity to avoid “vigilante action”.

Denise Fergus claims the safety of murderer Venables, who has been given a new identity, would be at risk if it was made public and she doesn’t “want blood on my hands”.

It comes after James' dad, Ralph Bulger and uncle, Jimmy Bulger, launched a legal challenge at the High Court to challenge an order that allows Venables to live under a cloak of anonymity.

Denise disagrees with this legal action and believes that if Venables' new identity is revealed, it could lead to “innocent people being hurt”.

In a statement, she said: “I understand the motivation for the application, but my con-

cern is that if Venables were known by his own name, it could lead to vigilante action and innocent people being hurt.”

Venables, along with James’ other killer Robert Thompson, has been living anonymously since his release from a life sentence for the kidnap, torture and murder of the two-year-old after he was abducted from the Strand Shopping Centre, in Bootle, in 1993.

Following release they have lived under new identities. But Venables has since been convicted and sent back to jail over indecent images of children.

In February, he was jailed for three years and four months after admitting surfing the dark web for extreme child abuse images and possessing a "sickening" paedophile manual.

Earlier this year, a petition calling for a public inquiry into the handling of James’ murder

Denise Fergus

case was accepted by the government after it reached almost 200,000 backers.

Having initially been rejected, a surprise u-turn saw the government confirm it will dis-

cuss the matter at a later date this year.

Denise has publicly backed the campaign after claiming her two-year-old son “has never had justice.”

Houses and apartments to be built on derelict site Report by Tom Martin A DERELICT patch of land in Bootle described as “vacant and unsightly” will be transformed with the arrival of 11 houses and nine apartments.

The site, on the corner of Hawthorne Road and Oxford Road, is facing the Grade II listed Christ Church but has been left empty ever since the demolition of a former industrial building a few years ago.

It has remained derelict for several years, but the location made it attractive for developers with it being on a busy street and walking distance to Bootle town centre.

Last week Sefton Council gave a developer the green light to build 11 houses and nine apartments on the land.

The planning application states: “Located on a vacant site, the proposal seeks to provide the necessary additional housing for the local residents. It is proposed that the houses will be of traditional brick construction.

Along with this, particular influence will be taken from the surrounding context in order for the development to compliment its neighbouring properties.

“It is situated within a primarily residential area of predominantly terraced houses. In terms of access to essential community facilities, the site has the benefit of such by being situated in close proximity to local schools, medical centres and recreation space.

A FORMER Royal Marine from Bootle has published an autobiography about his journey from having his leg amputated after a war injury to becoming the fastest man in the world on one leg.

Andy Grant, 29, has penned 'You'll Never Walk' which reveals the traumatic experience of losing his leg after a horrific bomb blast in Afghanistan in 2009 to his remarkable achievements in recent years.

The highs and lows in the book detail Andy’s battle to physically recover from his injuries, to his determination and fight back and to become a world record holder in 2016 when he became the fastest 'below-the-knee amputee' to run a 10,000 race.

Andy has been supported in his journey from the likes of Liverpool legends Jamie Carragher and Robbie Fowler, who have both publicly endorsed the book, along with comedian John Bishop.

In fact, Andy presented Carragher with a signed copy in person and revealed how he once read the former defender’s own autobiography when he served in the armed forces.

Andy said: “Ten years ago I was given a signed copy of Jamie Carragher's autobiography to take with me to Afghanistan. Ten years on and I stopped by his to drop him a signed copy of my own!

Funny how life works out.”

It’s not the first time that Andy

has appeared in the limelight following his life-changing injuries, and two years ago he featured in an ITV documentary called Paragon, which was also aired at local Odeon cinemas.

In recent years he has won two gold medals and a bronze at the Invictus Games in London and even tried his hand at acting when he appeared on ITV’s historical period drama Downton Abbey!

Earlier this year, Andy met Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at a preliminary round for the latest Invictus Games.

He will find out later this month if he will be joining the team for the 2018 games, which will be staged in Sydney, Australia in October.

Woman tells police that birds told her to smash window A COURT has heard how a woman who smashed her house windows with a brick told police that she had been told to do it by crows.

The woman who is 27-years-old and lives in the Bootle area appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court on May 2 where she pleaded guilt to criminal damage of two UPVC dining room windows and a UPVC living room window to the value of £823.32.

Her solicitor said she has a ‘functional neurological’ condition and had been drinking heavily while on medication.

Andrew Page, prosecuting, said that police were called to her home after the windows were broken. He said: “She said, ‘The crows told me to do it,’ while pointing towards the sky.”

The site on Hawthorne Road

However, during a subsequent interview with police the woman said she had no idea why she had done it.

“She told officers that she had a neurological condition,” Mr Page said, “She was very tearful and ashamed and said how difficult it was to live with a neurological condition.”

Solicitor Gary Meekhan stressed how the incident was out of a character for the woman. He said she had been drinking over the days prior to the incident and had been through a period of depression.

The magistrates fined her £100, and ordered that she pay £838.32 in compensation to her landlord, along with £115 in costs and victim surcharge. editorial@champnews.com

“The site is also well connected to the outlets and independent retailers within Bootle and the numerous social and leisure opportunities in the Strand shopping centre. The site is also well placed to take advantage of the area’s public transport

links with a number of bus stops located in close proximity to the site along Hawthorne Road.”

A report published by the council after their decision states: “The site is currently vacant and derelict, and has been left particularly unsightly

since the demolition of the brick industrial building that used to occupy the site until a couple of years ago. The site is located within the Derby Park Conservation Area and is opposite to Christ Church which is a Grade II Listed building.”

MP hails achievements of former homeless people at charity ’s awards evening BOOTLE MP Peter Dowd visited homelessness charity Emmaus Merseyside to celebrate its achievements.

The charity, based in Seaforth, helps formerly homeless people by giving them a stable home and meaningful work for as long as they need it.

Mr Dowd joined special guests including Carl Beer, chief executive of Merseyside Recycling and Waste Authority, at a celebration event on Friday, April 27 and presented a host of certificates to 19 service users following the successful completion of a number of training programmes.

He said: “I was very impressed with the work Emmaus does in helping support people who’ve experienced homelessness.

Some of the training was supported by the Merseyside Recycling and Waste Authority Community Fund which helped to increase Emmaus Merseyside’s knowledge and awareness of social media marketing for their furniture recycling activities.

As a result, the amount of goods saved from landfill increased significantly during the year.

Other training courses completed by Emmaus companions included Food Safety & Catering, First Aid at Work, Fire Evacuation Awareness, Introduction to Sign Language, Bee Keeping and NVQ Level 2 Certificate in Warehousing & Storage.

Nigel Mellor, chair of Emmaus Merseyside, said: “I am really proud of all our members who have completed training courses and received certificates and thank Peter Dowd MP for taking the time out to visit us and present the certificates.”

Hundreds set to take part in annual Run for 96 race HUNDREDS of people – including Reds legend Jamie Carragher – are set to take part in the annual Run for the 96 event this weekend.

Taking place on Saturday, May 12 at north Liverpool's Stanley Park, those up for the challenge will jog around the park with an aim of raising money for charity.

Bootle-born Carragher is not only an ambassador for the event through his 23 Foundation charity, but he will also lace up his running shoes to take part alongside his dad Phil.

The endurance challenge is held every year to celebrate the

lives of 96 Liverpool fans, who were unlawfully killed in the Hillsborough tragedy on 15 April 1989.

The events also remember the families of the 96 and the survivors, who have tirelessly fought for justice with the utmost dignity for 29 years.

Jamie said: “I am delighted the 23 Foundation has become part of Run For The 96.

“Last year we supported more than 1,100 families, foodbanks and other vital projects.

“Our aim is to help young people have a better life and encourage them to achieve their dreams.

“I’m looking forward to taking part in event with my dad. Celebrating the lives of the 96 is very close to my heart as a Scouser and former Liverpool player.”

Over three years, donations and funds raised through the Run For The 96 5K event has totalled £22,000 for good causes.

Run For The 96 5K entrants will receive a commemorative medal and a red or blue T-shirt.

The t-shirts are available in advance, to be worn for the run.

Park trust should have Waiting list for plots Keep all the roads open so better way to collect fees while some left vacant it is the same for everyone As a member of the Key Park Trust in Blundellsands, I was dismayed to find that the trust have a questionable approach to requesting fees from members.

The current method is to email out notices of key swap outs in newsletters or on post notes attached gates.

If the email is bounced back then it is tough luck, despite having evidence from the email provider it did not arrive.

No common sense has been shown to try again or contact people via the numbers they ask for when signing up.

I ask that the governing body of the park trust consider changing this hit and miss method of collection of fees to a more reliable method.

I am writing to express concerns over Sefton Council's inability to manage their allotment sites whilst somehow finding it appropriate to put up annual rental fees.

The waiting lists for these valued assets in Crosby are in excess of stupid.

It took me eight years to acquire mine, yet I see plots on my site being left vacant through lack of interest by those whose job it is to manage them.

It is extremely disheartening.

Sefton Council should be ashamed of themselves.

People should be held to account and if necessary replaced.

Yet, as usual I expect this call to fall on deaf ears.

Name supplied, By email

A concerned plot owner.

Name and address withheld

As a non car user who lives on Amaury Road I disagree strongly with the recent letters supporting the closure of Edgemoor Drive.

It is a selfish view from people only concerned about their road benefiting.

What about the top end on the estate where children play outside every day?

If an accident happens because of the extra use of other roads what will happen then?

The problem can only be solved by opening all the roads.

We all pay taxes.

My point is this.

PICTURE of the week

Are Cranfield Road and Rosemoor Drive any different from any other roads?

Do they pay more taxes?

To me it’s discrimination.

The problem is selfishness, ‘not in by back yard’ as the saying goes.

It is a populated area so we all have to put up with it.

So get over it and open all the roads.

We are all the same.

Alzheimer ’s Society invite you become a Dementia Friend I want to invite your readers to unite for Alzheimer ’s Society’s Dementia Action Week, which takes place from May 21-27.

There are 18,294 people living with dementia in Merseyside and too many face the condition alone without adequate support.

During the week we want people to take actions such as becoming a Dementia Friend, which allows people to learn a little bit more about what it’s like to live with dementia and then turn that understanding into action.

In Merseyside there are already 38,623 Dementia Friends.

Help us increase that number at dementiafriends.org.uk There will also be events taking place in Merseyside around the theme of community change. Get your family, friends or work colleagues to sign up and be the first to hear more about what’s happening locally at alzheimers.org.uk /DementiaActionWeek There are other ways to get involved, such as fundraising with our Challenge Dementia Quiz pack or taking part in research through the Join Dementia Research campaign.

Whatever action you take, Alzheimer’s Society in Merseyside wants to hear about it.

Share what you are planning on social media by using #DAW2018 on Twitter including @AlzSocNWEngland or like your local Alzheimer’s Society Facebook page at facebook.com/AlzheimersSocietyNorthWest

Expanding gym means fewer books and computers in library

Criminals are laughing at us

I would like to add my thoughts and concerns regarding the demise of the library at the Meadows Leisure Centre in Maghull.

As a regular user of the library over the last few years, I have always found it puzzling how a library can be situated inside a building including a fitness club.

This resulted in loud music blaring out while library users have tried to study and read in some peace and quiet.

But it seems people have just got on with it.

Now to add even more insult, the council have decided to add a gym which has led to the closure of the upper floor and resul-

ted in the ‘library ’ being shoehorned into half of the ground floor and the loss of many books and computers available to use.

Why we need another gym in Maghull is a question in itself (I count three or four now) but the dwindling numbers of books and computers is unacceptable.

It seems inevitable that the whole Meadows building will soon become a fitness centre and we will lose our precious library.

So the assistant chief constable of Merseyside tells us that crime has gone up 14% but that we’re better off than some places.

Well frankly I don’t care about ‘some places’, I care about here.

And if he says crime has gone up 14% I’d put money on it being nearer 20% - because a lot of minor crime goes unreported.

People know that the police aren’t interested it's just more paperwork for them, and in the rare case where a petty criminal gets caught the sentences handed out are a joke.

Offenders are laughing their heads off.

Woman fined for walking onto railway lines and for assaults A WOMAN with mental health issues has been fined for walking onto the lines at Blundellsands and Crosby railway station.

The 28 year old woman, who lives in the Crosby area, appeared in custody at Liverpool Complex Case Court on May 2 where she pleaded guilty to four assaults, which included assaults at a hospital and on her carer, the willful obstruction of a highway, and trespassing on railway property.

Angela Conlan, prosecuting, gave a brief outline of the offences saying that the first three assaults occurred when she was being treated at Aintree Hospital and involved her kicking one woman in the groin “causing immediate pain”, kicking a man twice to his knee “again causing pain”, and also biting the bicep of another man, again “causing immediate pain”.

Mrs Conlan told of how on another occa-

sion the woman had had taken her top of and then sat in the street with a piece of glass. When approached by a member of staff who attempted to cover her up, she threatened the staff member with the glass.

Then on a separate occasion, Mrs Conlan said the woman had climbed down on to the lines of Blundellsands and Crosby railway station telling people that she was going to kill herself. “They tried to reason with her for about ten minutes,” Mrs Conlan said.

The fourth assault occurred the day before her court appearance when she was said to have sprayed Cif cleaner in the face of a support worker.

Solicitor Paul Fletcher said that the offences looked very serious on paper and “put her in some difficulty in terms of sentencing” but he added that she was a

vulnerable person who appeared to be crying out for help. The solicitor also stressed how the company that look after her were wiling to continue to care for her. The woman who was subject to the most recent assault had also assisted by attending court and was willing to take her home.

“The company are still very much in support of her,” he said, “She accepts that this pattern of behaviour has to stop.”

After reports from the probation service and mental health services, in addition to a psychiatric report, were submitted to the court, District Judge Richard Clancy sentenced the woman to a 12-month community order, with a requirement she attend 20 days of rehabilitative activity, and pay £50 to each of the victims of assault. She was also fined £40 for each offence of obstructing the highway and trespassing the railway line.

Metro mayor marks his full year in charge Report by Tom Martin LIVERPOOL City Region metro mayor Steve Rotheram has marked one year since he was elected into the newly created role.

Elections for a new Mayoral Combined Authority leader were held on May 4 last year, with the former Walton MP officially taking up the role four days later.

The city region has had a Combined Authority since 2014, bringing together the political leaders of the six local authorities - Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, St Helens, Sefton and Wirral along with the Local Enterprise Partnership.

With the election of a metro mayor, that body became a Mayoral Combined Authority with additional powers over key priorities including employment and skills, strategic housing and planning, transport and highways, economic and business growth.

Commenting on the one-year anniversary, metro mayor Steve Rotheram told the Champion: “This has been a very exciting first year as metro mayor of the Liverpool City Region and, working with the leaders of our six local authorities, we have

Metro mayor Steve Rotheram

already achieved so much.

“Devolution means that we can make our own decisions here, rather than having them taken for us in Whitehall.

“We’re using that power to deliver an investment programme of over £1 billion in transport, skills, economic development and housing.

“One year on I’m more convinced than ever that we are making real progress towards a brighter future.”

Plaque honours church volunteer WAYFARERS SHOPPING ARCADE

BRIDAL EXHIBITION

Report by Tom Martin A COMMEMORATIVE plaque has been unveiled at a Litherland church in memory of a popular community volunteer.

Stan Martin, who passed away in May last year at the age of 87, devoted 47 years to a Church Lads’ Brigade in Litherland and was a sides-person at St Philip’s Church for a remarkable 74 years.

To honour his legacy, a plaque was unveiled on Sunday, May 6 by Reverend Alan Finch and Stan's wife Pat Martin.

During the service, Stan, known fondly as ‘Mr M’ was described as a “loving and caring person” who helped transform the church through his role on the building committee and the time he spent maintaining the grounds and woodland garden.

The service culminated with Rev Finch carrying out a dedication of a cross, which was placed in the church in memory of Pat and Stan's daugh-

ter, Susan Tracey. As well as devoting nearly five decades to the Lads’ Brigade at St Philip’s Church, Stan was also the commanding officer for two decades and ran its 40-strong bugle band which had a superb reputation.

In 2013, Stan and Pat were given the Sefton CVS Community Award in recognition of their combined 130 years of community work.

Pat and Stan received the award from the former Mayor of Sefton, Cllr Maureen Fearn, at Sefton CVS’s annual general meeting and annual conference at Linacre Mission in Bootle.

Pat Martin helps to unveil the plaque at Litherland Church in loving memory of her husband Stan Martin (left), who was a very popular community volunteer who also ran a bugle band.

My boating holiday on the Broads turned a little flat I CAN’T have been touching wood (even though my river cruiser Manxman is made of about eight tons of the stuff) when I wrote my last column about my hopes for am uninterrupted holiday on the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads.

What did I say?

That I was sure my faithful old boat would start after its winter sojourn - and that I would have no trouble with her ancient electrics.

Asking for trouble maybe? Well I got it, in spades.

Not only would Manxman not start, the interior lights were more akin to sulky glow-worms than anything to read by.

Both the domestic and starter batteries were flat as the proverbial flukes.

Now that should not have been possible because she had just been fitted with a new alternator and was plugged into a battery charging unit.

And although the cash in the meter had run out they should still have been more than capable of starting the engine - or for that matter of enabling me to see what might be amiss.

Still, hope springs eternal, and after putting a new card in the meter and waiting a short time, the motor coughed into life and the lights burned brightly.

Now perhaps I should explain that the fact that old alternator gave up the ghost was my fault.

Right at the end of my last cruise of 2017, the ignition had stayed on (I don’t know why) and by the Law of Sod the ignition key fob had flopped over the warning light so I didn’t realise the danger for perhaps an hour - by which time the unit had burned itself out.

Still, a highly competent ‘sparky ’ agreed to fit a replacement but although he listened at the time, he did not check the ‘X-Split’ box (which decides which bank of batteries most needs charging and directs the electricity in that direction first) which I felt had been not charging the domestics as well as it used to and should.

Nor did he check the health of the batteries themselves.

To cut a long and sorry story short, the end result was that even after a long day’s run and with the benefit of the three solar panels I have, by half way through the evening the TV went off, along with the fridge. “Oh dear!� I said - or something like that.

Still, the new alternator was charging the starter well, so I was able to carry on regardless with the aid of the ‘electric posts’ available at several public moorings to keep creature comforts afloat ‘till morning.

At the end of my first week though, the new alternator suddenly stopped functioning and an emergency call-out to the electrician brought the bad news that yet another replacement would be necessary.

And since he now thought the main trouble did indeed lie with the ‘X-Split’ contrivance, could I get the boat (now devoid of any charging) back to his boatyard - which happened to be a day’s sailing away?

I did.

A further day later he turned up and fitted a third alternator, ditched the 'X-Split' and fitted a more modern, far simpler device which fulfilled the same function.

So now off I set once more, thinking my troubles were behind me.

But no. The (now certainly charging) domestic batteries were still not holding their charge. So back to boatyard and sparky.

He now decided, belatedly, actually to check the condition of the two domestic batteries. One was borderline good, the other about as much use as a soggy melon - and that one was dragging the other down with it.

And that, my friends, just about marked the end of this year’s Spring Cruise.

All in all, hardly the best boating holiday I and the crew (Tina and Cinders) have ever had - but I still got quite a lot of pleasure from it.

And until the bad weather set in - just as my real electricity problems set in - I gained a sun tan.

Throughout it all, I also met some new friends particularly one of the River Inspectors - now of renamed River Rangers (sorry Mr Ranger Sir!).

One couple from the Isle of Man even asked to take a photo of me, wearing my Isle of Man Steam Packet Co jumper in front of ‘Manxman.’

Celebrating 25 Years in Business 1-3 Seabank Road Southport PR9 0EW 01704 530671

THE owner of a Southport-based eatery has shared his secrets for success after branching out to quadruple the business as well as taking on not one but two bars as well!

Russell Jones opened Auberge on Seabank Road in May 1993 as a simple, rustic French bistro with places for 30 guests.

It quickly gained a fantastic reputation for it’s quality food, efficient service and reasonable prices - paving the way for a sister restaurant in Tarleton in 1996, which they also named Auberge.

They sold this in 1999 to focus all of their time and energy on expanding their original town-centre venue, now renamed the Auberge Brasserie and in 2003 they added a bigger, grander kitchen, much more serviceable bar area and increased mezzanine space for private parties and events.

It has now grown to 120 covers plus al fresco dining terrace, from the baby it was in 1993.

Sacrebleu bar next door but two was born in December 2008 and Le Grog bar next door, specialising in rums from around the world, was added in 2016 – meaning that guests can enjoy a full evening of entertainment without leaving the road, or getting wet!

Russell said: “The success I believe is from exceptional standards of fresh food produced on the premises being paramount in all

aspects of our dishes and menus, immaculate surroundings in an informal and relaxed dining environment at a price for all to afford and enjoy. “The staff at Auberge - some of which are still here from our opening day, especially Linda! - take great pleasure in ensuring your visit is a pleasant experience. Our regular customers from locals to much further afield have played an important part in our growth and we still see the same faces from our first few months of trading all those years ago.

“Although the town centre has seen somewhat of a decline over the last few years, we are now complimented as a destination restaurant for every party occasion or just an intimate catch up for couples and friends and are a fantastic reason for visiting the town.

“Our menus have also moved with the times. We offer a two or three course lunch £12.95/£15.95 from noon – 2.30pm from Monday to Friday and noon – 5pm on Saturday. On Sundays, three courses including two roasts is £14.95.

“We have a dinner menu comprising of two or three courses £16.95/£19.95 available daily. The A La Carte menus is available every evening and lunchtimes on request.

“We also offer an amazing early tea time menu from 5.30pm-6.30pm daily (served all evening Tuesday 5.30pm-9.30pm) with three courses just £10.95.”

• All menus and live music events are available to view online at aubergebrasserie.com or call 01704 530671 for more information.

Crime prevention groups invited to apply for funding ORGANISATIONS which are working to help prevent crime and protect communities in Sefton are being invited to apply for a share of a fund aimed at helping to build stronger, safer communities.

This is the fourth year that Merseyside’s Police Commissioner Jane Kennedy has opened the Crime Prevention Fund, which is used to help charities, community groups and social enterprises.

A total of £135,000 is available across Merseyside from the fund for innovative community safety projects or schemes that will run over the next 12 months.

This year the Commissioner is encouraging organisations to work together to submit bids for between £5,000 and £25,000 from the grant and she is specifically inviting applications for project which focus on tackling serious and organised crime.

She said: “Serious and organised crime is, for many people, their greatest concern. It blights our communities, bringing misery and harm and causing decent, ordinary people to live in fear.

“Many organisations and community groups are already working with Merseyside Police and my office is tackling this issue, and I want to encourage and maximise this collaborative approach by encouraging organisations to join forces to bid for funding from the Crime Prevention Fund.

“Local people understand their communities better than anyone and know what will work best to improve their area. We are fortunate to have a wealth of voluntary groups which are working hard to prevent people, especially young people from getting involved in crime.

By pooling resources and working even closer together we can all do more to make a difference for communities.

“I’ve met hundreds of people who are really proud and passionate about the places they live in and are committed to keeping them safe and I’m excited to see their proposals for how this funding can be best spent.”

PORCELANOSA AGENT Merseyside’s Police Commissioner Jane Kennedy

Last year, 13 grassroots organisations were chosen from among more than 70 applications to receive a share of the fund to help make communities across Merseyside safer.

A £10,000 grant was given to Breckfield and North Everton Neighbourhood Council (BNEC) to help them deliver their Making Waves project which delivers both outreach and centre-based services for young people living in areas of high deprivation to divert them away from crime.

The Crime Commissioner added: “Over the last year, this funding has helped to deliver some really important projects which have made a profound difference in the lives of the people they support. Even a small cash boost can be of huge benefit to many of these grassroots projects and I look forward to seeing what more we can deliver together over the next 12 months.”

The fund will be administered by the Community Foundation for Merseyside (CFM), an independent charity which assists grant-making and charitable giving. Local groups who would benefit from the funding can find more details on its website here http://www.cfmerseyside.org.uk//funds/crime-prevention-fund. The closing date for applications is 5pm on Monday, June 11.

Will week extended ST JOSEPH’S Hospice has extended its usual Will Week to a whole month this May. This May, the Thornton-based hospice is being supported by 12 solicitors across Merseyside who will be giving up their time and waiving their fees throughout the month so that locals can write a will, or update an existing one, and avoid paying any solicitors’ fees.

Participating solicitors will offer a standard willwriting service and all the hospice asks is that you consider making a donation to St Joseph’s Hospice.

Julie McAdam, senior community fundraiser at St Joseph’s Hospice, said: “We are really pleased to have secured a great partnership with several local

solicitors who will be supporting the hospice for the whole of May by waiving their fees. All we ask is that people consider making a donation to St Joseph’s Hospice during our Will Month. As a guide, the cost for a single simple will is approximately £100.

“The hospice nurses provides specialist palliative and end of life care for over 200 patients across Merseyside every year as well as support for their loved ones. As a registered charity, we need to raise £8,750 every day to keep our services running so your support of this year’s Will Month is vital.”

Farmers asked for their views on future after UK leaves EU Report by Kenny Parker THE NATIONAL Farmers Union is encouraging farmers to contribute to the Government’'s consultation on the future of farming in the UK after the country leaves the EU. The organisation says that a current paper released by the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) entitled Health and Harmony: the future for food, farming and the environment in a Green Brexit, is a once in a generation chance to ensure farming’s voice is heard when it matters.

NFU North West regional director David Hall said: “The Government’s consultation on the future of farming closes on Tuesday May 8 so it’s really important you have your say now. If you haven’t already responded to the consultation, we’ve provided a simple online form on the NFU’s website. We’ve also highlighted three key areas that the NFU feels are crucial.

“Firstly food production - maintaining a robust and resilient domestic food production sector is in the nation’s interest.

“Secondly, trade - it is essential that government trade policy ensures that our current world leading production standards are not undermined.

“And thirdly the Environment - producing food in a productive and resource efficient way brings environmental benefits for the UK and the world.

This is an opportunity to remind the Government that a safe, secure and traceable domestic food supply that is affordable for all is a public right that depends on a thriving farming sector.”

The NFU says that during a meeting held in Cumbria to discuss the consultation, the most vocal audience reaction to the potential road ahead came when the subject of the phasing out of the Basic Payment Scheme (BPS), an agricultural subsidy scheme of under EU’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).

The UK will formally leave the EU in March 2019, but it is anticipated that government will agree to an implementation period lasting for around another two years.

Once Defra has the freedom to move away from the CAP rules it proposes that there will be an ‘agricultural transition’ period in England. During this ‘agricultural transition’ period, direct payments (BPS) will continue. However, Defra is proposing to reduce and phase out direct payments (BPS) completely in England by the end of this period.

Former Liverpool captain Johnny Wheeler is given special mark of honour by club lish, Robbie Fowler, and Terry McDermott.

She said the tribute and the love shown her father by the fans made it one of the best days of her life.

Johnny now has dementia but Sue says that opportunities to reminisce are important and LiverLIVERPOOL FC ’s oldest living former captain, pool FC pulled out all the stops to make sure the who at one time held the record for the fastest day was a very special occasion.

That is believed to have been the fastest hat-trick on record until Robbie Fowler’s effort for Liverpool FC in 1994, which was surpassed by Sadio Mane for Southampton in 2015.

He was also picked to play for England in 1954 against Northern Ireland.

After retiring from playing football, Johnny was a trainer at Bury FC until 1969 before becoming a universal bulk handler.

Sue was thankful for the efforts of LFC to make her dad’s day such a success and added that it was

She said: “The fans are ultimately what made it for me.

“One guy asked to shake his hand and asked for a hug. Dad does not usually do hugs but he obliged.

“Even with his dementia it was such a wonderful day.

“It was one of the best days of my life.”

Bobby Crush

Interview by Henry James VETERAN entertainer Bobby Crush who has recently appeared on TV in Last Laugh in Vegas can be seen on stage this week in Summer Holiday, which has made its first stop at the Liverpool Empire.

Bobby is playing the role of Jerry, the long-suffering agent, for the first eight weeks of the tour in the show that is based on the iconic 1960s film of the same name, starring Cliff Richard and The Shadows.

He has been famous in the UK for 45 years mainly as a pianist, but also as a songwriter, actor, broadcaster and television presenter. He rose to fame after six winning appearances on Opportunity Knocks (ITV).

Bobby explained a bit about the character he is playing: “Jerry is the agent of a female American pop star who is feeling pressurised and wants to get away from it all. She disguises herself as a boy in order to join our boys on the London bus on the trip to Greece.

“I am her agent chasing her to go back to work. I do this in tandem with Stella who is a typical stage mother. She is trying to live her life through Barbara. She wanted to be a star herself but never got the opportunity.

“Jerry does not know what he is doing. He is chasing the bus around Switzerland, Italy, Greece in order to nab this girl and bring her back to work, so she can make hit records.”

Summer Holiday includes all of the number one hits from the movie and some more Cliff Richard classics. Bobby said Summer Holiday is a family show and commented: “All of the songs in the musical are recognisable and in the past have been Cliff Richard hits. They include: The Young Ones, In The Country, The Next Time and the title song Summer Holiday.

“It is set in the 60s when the fashions were garish and we take audiences back to a more innocent age.

These days we tend to be a bit more cynical. All the songs have stood the test of time. These songs are really well constructed and well crafted.

“It is a family show that people from eight to 80 will enjoy.”

The stage show for Summer Holiday sticks to a similar storyline to the film, but there are differences. Bobby explained: “Weaved into our show are lots of different bits that weren’t in the original film.

“In this show I also play the piano. I don’t think the original Jerry played the piano.”

Bobby has had a varied career in show business and commented: “I started off as a pianist but realised very early in the game that the way to survive is to develop other skills. Over the years I have had acting lessons, and singing and dancing lessons. It has allowed me to pick up offers of pantos and musicals and things away from the keyboard.”

WINE, Italian cuisine and Queen’s Greatest Hits. As I know from painful experience with all three – which normally involves indigestion or annoyed neighbours banging on walls – you definitely can have too much of a good thing.

Unfortunately, I can now add enjoying a sports car, top down, in the spring sunshine to that list.

It is, I reckon, exactly the sort of hedonistic petrolhead hoot that makes all those hours spent queuing in city centre traffic jams all worthwhile; the giddy thrill of going exploring in search of a country pub in something that puts the wind in your hair and a big smile on your face.

It doesn’t matter whether you’re doing it in a 1930s MG T-type, a Lotus Seven from the mid-Sixties or a brand-new BMW Z4, because even though their technology is wildly different, the results are always broadly the same.

This is exactly the sort of bright-eyed optimism I ventured out with over a glorious Bank Holiday last weekend in my own small sports car, my trusty (if slightly faded-looking) Mazda MX-5.

For a 28-year-old roadster it still works a treat, happily hitting the high notes with its rev counter, time and time again, but unfortunately it seems there’s one component that just isn’t as well engineered for the task as all of Mazda’s double wishbone suspension and twin overhead cam engine trickery.

Me, to be exact.

What I’d forgotten was that in blazing sunshine and 24-degree heat that human skin just isn’t as good at coping with hour after hour of top-down fun. I naively ventured out for a two-hour drive to see some old racing cars going sideways at the Donington Historic Festival, spent the day looking at Ford Capris and Jaguar D-types, and spent another two hours driving home again.

Driving with the roof down for hours at a time is deceptive, because the breeze blowing onto your face masks the fact that you’re slowly simmering like a barbecue sausage.

It was only when I returned home eight long hours later that I realised my complexion looked like a curious blend of an Oompa Lumpa and a freshly grown tomato.

No amount of aftersun was going to remedy this one overnight!

So if you are lucky enough to have a two-seater convertible at your disposal, do make sure that you keep a bottle of sun tan lotion to hand so you can keep on applying it throughout the day (and not just first thing in the morning, which was my schoolboy error).

Play it sensibly and you might just be able to enjoy all three days with the top down, as opposed to spending two of them trapped indoors, nursing colossal sunburn.

Although it did give me the chance to crack open a fresh bottle of wine and stick Queen on once again, of course…

SPORT

Northern top table as Sephton claims 6-56 in win at Rainford NORTHERN continue to set the pace at the top of the Liverpool & District Cricket Competition Premier Division after recording their third consecutive win of the campaign with a 32 run victory at Rainford.

The table toppers elected to bat and with the help of Chris Laker 46, Liam Grey 33 and Tom Sephton 25 managed to post 180 up on the board, with Andy Davies taking 5-46.

In reply, two quick wickets from Jamie Barnes reduced Rainford to 1-2, skipper David Snellgrove 36 and John Dotters 49 restored some respectability, but they were dismissed by Tom Sephton who duly wrapped up

the innings for 148 with figures of 6-56, leaving Davies unbeaten on 26* and maintaining Northern’s 100 per cent record.

Third placed Formby recorded a 92 run win at Wallasey.

The visitors recovered from 56-6 to 158 all out, thanks to half centuries from Ollie Sutton who finished unbeaten on 51* and Lancashire’s Stephen Parry who scored 50, with Matthew Wilcox 438 and Matthew Keogh 3-44 taking the bulk of the wickets.

In reply, a fine spell of bowling from the visitors helped dismiss the hosts for just 66, with spinner Parry claiming 4-5 off 8.5 overs.

Liptrot’s marathon spell helps Bootle crush Ormskirk FIRWOOD Bootle began the holiday weekend in sparkling fashion last Saturday with a crushing victory over the reigning Premier League champions Ormskirk at a sun drenched Brook Lane.

Having elected to bat first, healthy partnerships of 42, 73 and 53 for the first three wickets put Bootle In a strong position, Sam Kershaw (69) making his maiden half-century for the club in the process.

Craig Prince was eventually able to declare in the 55th over with a more than satisfactory 244-7 on the scoreboard.

The home openers, Andy Baybutt and John Armstrong, made clear that they had no intention of being cowed by the target set for them, raising 58 together

before the latter had his middle stump knocked back by Chris Liptrot.

That was all the incentive Bootle needed to seize the initiative as the total declined to 100-6, with Liptrot in particular causing all sorts of problems as he embarked upon an exhausting stint of 20 overs which ultimately yielded him figures of 6-61.

Ormskirk battled on until the 45th over of their reply in an obviously losing cause before finally being all out for 157, a defeat by 87 runs.

This coming weekend Bootle host Northern in the Premier League at Wadham Road on Saturday before travelling to Leigh the following afternoon for a second round Royal London Cup tie.

Heavy defeat for Hightown IN the Second Division, Hightown St Mary’s suffered a 90 run home defeat at the hands of Old Xaverians, the visitors chose to bat and thanks a century from opener Shaun Haigh (133 inc 16x4 & 6x6) were able to post 244 up on the board, with Muhammad Zeb 5-12 and Jim Kelly 4-57 taking the bowling honours.

In reply, Matt Laybourne 48, Kelly 39 and Zeb 28 helped take the hosts to 147-5 before a lower order collapse led by Daniel Harrison 420 saw them dismissed for 154.

Maghull were held to a draw at home against Parkfield Liscard, after being asked to bat the hosts racked up an impressive 254-5 dec, thanks in the main to Jon Ring who carried his bat throughout the innings to score a magnificent unbeaten century (132*), with backup coming from all rounder Anthony Molloy who weighed in with 52. In reply, Robert Courtney top scored for the visitors who ended on 182-6, with Molloy 3-38 being the pick of the eight bowlers used by Paul Walters.

THIS weekend’s local LDCC fixture’s (1pm): Bootle v Northern, Formby v Rainford, Lytham v Ormskirk, Liverpool v Burscough, Prestatyn v Fleetwood Hesketh, Southport & Birkdale v Newton le Willows, Wavertree v Ainsdale, Northop Hall v Maghull, Skelmersdale v Hightown St Mary’s.

Assistant manager goes in shake-up at Marine MARINE assistant manager Tony Sullivan has left the club as boss Tommy Lawson reshuffles his backroom staff.

Lawson revealed his “difficult decision” following Marine's final match of the season last week and admitted it will be hard to see Sullivan go because he is so popular with the fans.

Also on the way out is sports therapist Chris Roberts, with Lawson saying this decision was made due to Roberts finding it hard to commute from London for midweek matches.

Marine’s season ended last week having finished 19th in the league table and they also lost in the Liverpool Senior Cup Final.

Lawson said: “I'd like to thank Tony and Chris for their input over the last couple of years. They've both worked hard and done the jobs they were asked to do.

“Chris is spending a lot of time working down in London and was finding it difficult to cover midweek games, this became more of an issue at the back end of the

Tony Sullivan has left the club

season with all the games we had to fit in and obviously we need cover for all matches.

“Tony and I had an honest face to face chat, at the end of the day I’m responsible for the team and my backroom team and I felt it was time to freshen things up starting with my staff.

“That's not in any way a criticism of Tony, who don't forget was a manager himself before becoming my assistant and knows the challenges that the job can bring.

“Tony was popular with our fans but sometimes you have to make difficult decisions that you believe are the right ones for Marine.

“I am looking to fill the role quickly as we plan for next season and am hoping to announce a new assistant sooner rather than later.

“Once again my thanks to both Tony and Chris and I wish them well wherever their career takes them.”

Fans invited to player awards evening MARINE fans are being invited to attend the end of season player awards.

It will be held on Friday, May 11 at 8pm at the Arriva Suite at the Marine Travel Arena.

The event sees the Marine Supporters Association [MSA] presenting the leading goal scorer, the supporter's player of

the season, supporter of the year and young supporter of the year.

The club will present with the manager his player of the season, young player of the season and with the player's their player of the season.

The event is hosted jointly by the MSA and the Marine Man-

agement Committee.

Marine chairman Paul Leary said: “It is important that we stage this event to recognise the player’s efforts this season.

“All of the football staff and the team have worked hard throughout with the highlight being the FA Trophy run and getting to the final of the Liver-

pool Senior Cup for the first time in ten years.

“I hope that as many people turn up as possible to share in the excitement of the awards being presented by the MSA and the club to the players.

“Last season’s shirts will also be auctioned to raise funds for the ground appeal.”

Remyca celebrate promotion Prestwich Heys 1 Litherland Remyca 1 LITHERLAND Remyca missed out on winning the title but they were celebrating anyway after gaining promotion.

The top two teams in the NWCFL Division One are promoted and Remyca knew they were guaranteed at least second spot at the start of the final day of the season on Bank Holiday Monday, but they had a

chance of overtaking leaders Silsden if they dropped points.

As it turned out, Remyca were undone by their own inability to beat Heys, but they won’t care as they are now looking forward to next season in NWCFL Premier Division.

Remyca took the lead just after half time through Colin Quirk, his 50th goal for the club, but they conceded an equaliser on 57 minutes and the match ended 1-1.

Remyca finished second in the NWCFL Premier Division table.

Reds relegated after defeat in final match AFC Liverpool are set to be relegated after finishing fourth from bottom in the North West Counties

Premier Division, three points adrift of Abbey Hey after losing their final match 2-1 at home

against Charnock Richard.

The Reds had gone ahead with a first minute

goal from Zach Hardacre but two second half goals from Carl Grimshaw won the match for the visitors.

Murphy header seals win for Bucks Abbey Hey 0 Bootle 1 DANIEL Murphy's second-half header was enough to hand Bootle all three points against Abbey Hey on Saturday, writes Connor O’Neill.

After cruising to a comfortable 9-1 victory in their last outing against Barnton the Bucks faced a much sterner test here, against a Hey side that is fighting for their lives at the bottom of the table.

The first-half was a tight and tense affair with both sides struggling to carve out clear-cut openings.

Bootle's best chance came midway through the half when some neat play

eventually saw Kieran Haligan find some space inside the Hey box but the winger dragged his effort wide.

While at the other end, Hey's best chance came just before the interval.

Ashford Blake released Petr Boyle down the right before the winger crossed for Adam Farrand who directed his effort over.

But two minutes into the second-half and the games only goal arrived. Liam Loughlin's corner wasn't cleared and after Kev Edgar retrieved possession, the forward pulled the ball back to Michael Ordish whose first-time cross was headed home by Murphy from close-range.

Bootle then squandered two chances to

double their advantage. First, Edgar latched onto Ste Hoy's through ball but his right-footed effort was blocked by the onrushing Ross Heywood. Before Heywood denied Ste Milne after the forward had raced past three players.

Hey's best chance of an equaliser arrived sixteen minutes from time.

Robert Swallow's corner ran all the way through to Blake whose instinctive firsttime flick was superbly pushed over by Ryan Jones.

Bootle were beaten 4-0 at home to City of Liverpool FC on Monday with the visitors scoring two goals in each half.

Bootle finish their season tomorrow (Thursday) at Padiham.
