CHILDCARE SERVICE AXED AFTER FUNDS ARE SLASHED Cambridge nursery school and children’s centre

Safeguard your central heating this winter with our boiler & heating protection plans

PARENTS have been left ‘gutted’ after it was revealed a popular childcare service run from a Bootle children’s centre will close.

The service, which is held at Cambridge nursery school and children’s centre, will come to an end on April 5 due to a decision to scrap a government fund called SureStart.

The children's centre itself will remain open, but it means that some childcare staff

Report by Tom Martin

will lose their jobs and parents will have to find alternative care for their children.

A statement from the children's centre said: “It is with deepest regret that we are informing parents, carers and centres users of the closure of the childcare facility.”

EVERTON in the Community is set to receive the Freedom of the City of Liverpool for 30 years of pioneering charity work.

Mayor of Liverpool, Joe Anderson, has nominated the charity in recognition of its achievements in helping the communities across Merseyside, notably in north Liverpool.

The city’s highest civic honour is expected to be formally agreed today (Wednesday, January 24) with the Freedom ceremony itself taking place later this year.

Everton in the Community celebrates its 30th anniversary in February, and has spent three decades tackling key social issues and help some of the most vulnerable in the Merseyside region.

In 2017 alone, over 100 young people have graduated from the charity’s Apprenticeship programme.

Some of the charity's many other

Professor Denise Barrett-Baxendale

achievements include opening a Free School for troubled youngsters and raising £244,000 to build a shelter for young homeless people in north Liverpool.

Professor Denise Barrett-Baxendale, Everton in the Community Executive Chair, added: “For our charity to receive the Freedom of the City of Liverpool is the most wonderful accolade and it is testament to the hard work of all of our staff and volunteers.

“For almost 30 years we have been committed to helping those most in need across our city.”

Locals urged to help take pressure off busy A&E units HEALTH chiefs are asking Sefton residents to think carefully before seeking emergency hospital treatment as the number of admissions continues to rise.

Locals are being urged, at the first sign of minor ailment, to self-care or get advice from their local pharmacy.

This will help keep A&E departments free to treat patients with the most serious

conditions who need urgent care. After a busy festive period, ailments arising from cold weather and flu as well as cases of the winter bug, norovirus, mean demand on NHS services is heightened.

Dr Kieran Murphy, Medical Director at NHS England, (Merseyside), said: “We are also urging anyone with a nonurgent medical complaint to support us by making full use

of alternative community services such as your pharmacist or by self-care at home when appropriate. This can really help reduce pressure on other parts of the NHS, for example calls to 999 or visits to A&E. “Those in at risk categories can also help by availing of their free flu jab. It’s the best way to ensure protection against catching flu and developing serious complications.”

Staff lose jobs in childcare funding shake-up From Page One “The government funding (SureStart funding) which supports the delivery of these service has been withdrawn. We have for a number of months been under a staffing consultation. Without the support of this government funding we cannot run the service.

This withdrawal of funding is across the country not just in Sefton.

“We have been reassured that there is sufficient ‘outstanding and good’ provision available in the surrounding areas and the school readiness team have made themselves available to support people affected in finding suitable alternative childcare providers.

“The children’s centre community activities, ie family support and groups are not affected. The Nursery School is not affected. As schools are now permitted to admit two year olds we plan to offer places to funded two years olds, if you are eligible for this we can advise you on how to apply.

“We appreciate this will be distressing and uncertain for parents/carers and this information has come to you as soon as the process was confirmed. We ask for your consideration as due to this decision some childcare staff will also be losing jobs and will also be receiving this confirmation.

“We will continue to offer the services in the meantime and do our utmost to help your children find and settle into alternative childcare provision. Thank you for the opportunity you have given us over the last ten years to help care for your children.”

The statement was posted on the children’s centre's Facebook page, and parents were quick to express their sadness.

One parent said: “Absolutely gutted about the news, we have been lucky enough for both our children to attend the childcare from them being babies.”

Another added: “Devastated, can not tell you how upset I am about this. The news that all those lovely teachers and childcare providers will lose their jobs, not only that my son won’t be cared for by them, is horrible.”

A Department for Education spokesperson said: “The government is making more than £200billion available to councils for local services (including children’s services) up to 2020, and councils increased spending on children and young people’s services to around £9.2 billion in 2016-17.

“We are determined to support as many families as possible with access to highquality, affordable childcare, which is why we are investing a record £6b by 2020. We have doubled the free childcare available to working parents of three and four yearolds to 30 hours a week, saving working parents up to £5,000 a year.

“Thousands of families are already benefitting from the scheme. In its first term around 202,800 children were in a 30 hours’ place, with over 326,000 already with an eligibility code to access the offer this term. The most disadvantaged twoyear-olds are also entitled to 15 hours of early education per week.”

Man jailed for flying drone into prison Report by Tom Martin

A MAN from Anfield has been jailed for seven years after being caught flying a drone twice into Walton prison to drop off drugs and mobile phones.

Steven Kelly, 45, of Thornwood Close, Anfield, was sentenced on Friday, January 19 after pleading guilty to two incidents, on January 6 and October 2017.

It comes in the same week that HMP Liverpool was slammed in a report following an inspection when a string of serious concerns were highlighted – including the use of drones to get banned items into the prison.

The first incident involving Kelly was at about 1am on January 6, when officers on nearby Hornby Road witnessed a drone carrying a parcel into the prison grounds, which was then flown into a field near Rice Lane Farm. It was here that they found Kelly with the drone and its control unit.

A search of cells later found cannabis and mobile phones suspected to have been carried by the drone.

The second incident was at around 12.40am on October 19, when officers on patrol again spotted a drone flying over the prison with a package hanging below it.

Officers attended and located Kelly in a nearby field who made off and was detained in a rear garden on Stuart Road North, Bootle and arrested.

The drone and controller were located in the field.

A package was recovered under a van on Stuart Road North, containing mobile phones, SIM cards, cannabis and tobacco.

Detective Chief Inspector Cheryl Rhodes said:

Operator was detained in the rear garden of a house in Bootle

The drone used by Kelly, shown right, to fly drugs and mobile phones into Liverpool prison

“We welcome the sentencing of Kelly and hope it sends a strong message to anyone contemplating the illegal use of drones that Merseyside Police will bring you to justice and put you behind bars.

“Merseyside Police will continue to seek ways to combat the illegal use of drones through cutting edge technology and information from communities.

“We continue to work in partnership with HMP

Liverpool to keep the prison community and those in the wider community of Merseyside safe, including regular patrols of the area around the prison.

“Information from the community is vital and we would also appeal to anyone in the area with information on the illegal use of drones to contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 08000 555 111.”

POLICE are investigating a shooting on a street in Bootle last week.

Officers were contacted at 10pm on Tuesday, January 16 by the North West Ambulance Service following reports that a male in his 20s had suffered an injury to his buttocks.

It is believed he had been on Akenside Street with a second male when a silver Ford Focus car pulled up alongside them and a shot was fired from inside the car.

He was taken to hospital where his injuries were described as non life-threatening.

The car is believed to have driven off in the direction of Derby Road.

The motive for the attack is cur-

rently unclear and an investigation is underway.

House-to-house, CCTV and forensic enquiries are ongoing in the local area.

Chief Inspector Diane Pownall said: “An investigation into the full circumstances surrounding this incident is underway.

“I would appeal to anyone who may have seen anyone acting suspiciously in and around Akenside Street shortly before or after the incident to contact us, as any information they have could be vital to our inquiries.

“Likewise if you saw any light coloured cars in the area at that time, or have any home CCTV or dashcam footage, let us know. I can assure you that all information will be acted upon.

“The site is currently vacant and its appearance, with shutters locked, has a detrimental impact on the vitality and viability of the local centre.

“The development will have a positive impact on the vitality and viability of the local centre when compared to its current state. The local centre experiences a high vacancy rate with several properties being vacant. This means that there is an urgent need to bring vacant properties back into productive use to avoid further deterioration of the centre.

“The development will provide economic benefits in the form of the creation of jobs. The proposed development is acceptable in principle and does not harm the living conditions of neighbours or highway safety.”

Marian Square

ASHCROFT ROAD

NORTHWOOD SOUTHDENE

LEES ROAD

SEFTON Council has given a green light to plans to turn a former pub in Bootle opposite the Port of Liverpool into a hostel to cater for dock workers.

The Champion reported last

A CLOSED down shop in Netherton's Marian Square has been taken over and will be turned into a pay day loans company.

The derelict store located at 17 Marian Square has been targeted by developer, Oakam Ltd, with the company planning to breathe fresh life into the empty unit.

The proposal has been welcomed by Sefton Council, as they say it will have “a positive impact on the vitality and viability of the local centre”.

Oakam Ltd also say the new business will create four jobs and the staff will provide a “community service” which isn't typical of a standard pay day loans company.

The planning application, which was approved by the local authority last week, states: “The proposal provides additional services that arguably constitute community service. This is because the business can underwrite people who have no credit history whatsoever.

“The applicant is categorised as a sui generus use however its shortest loan is three months and the longest is three years. This is not the same as for a typical ‘pay day loans company’ but because the three month loan carries a high APR the business model falls into the 'high cost, short term' terminology of sui generis/pay day loan shop use.

“The applicant’s customers are primarily those people who find it difficult and often impossible to obtain finance from banks, which includes the unbanked, who have recently moved to the UK without a credit history, or those under-banked due to their financial history.

“Another way in which the applicant operates differently to a traditional pay day loan shop is that it does not have ‘late payment fees’”.

A report published by Sefton Council states: “Although the proposed use of a payday loan shop

Winter Weather - Personal Injury

Helping you through difficult times

As we move through winter, with many forecasters predicting colder snowier conditions than normal, some of us will find ourselves falling victim to the less favourable conditions. Regular winter storms add to the potentially treacherous driving conditions and drivers need to take extra care as a result of the conditions.

According to the Department of Transport, 251 people were seriously injured and 2,274 were slightly injured in reported road accidents during icy and snowy conditions in 2014. During December 2017 the RAC estimated it would be called out to 9,000 of its members on peak days. Of course, many of these accidents are actually avoidable.

During difficult driving conditions, many motorists fail to take the necessary care to other road users which can result in dangerous collisions and you suffering injury.

The law protects those injured as a result of another’s negligence and you may be able to claim compensation.

www.dphlaw.co.uk

The same goes for roads, pavements, car parks and public spaces. If surfaces become icy or snowy and they remain untreated this can lead to slips and trips which can cause serious injuries. In the case of Rockliffe v Liverpool City Council a pathway had been allowed to become icy and remained untreated; as a result Ms Rockliffe slipped causing her to suffer a serious head injury. As a result of her injuries, Ms Rockcliffe received damages of £35,000.

Plan will tackle ‘UK’s worst jail’ Report by Tom Martin ACTION has been promised to improve Liverpool Prison following the damning report which described it as “one of the worst inspectors had ever seen.”

The shocking report by HM Chief Inspector of Prisons was published in full last week laying bare the grim details of the state of the prison.

The inspection, carried out last September, found many of the cells were in a filthy condition, with rats commonly sighted and infested with cockroaches.

There were many reports of violence, with many prisoners feeling unsafe.

Drugs were said to be easily accessible with drones carrying drugs being seized at a rate of more than one a week.

Four inmates had taken their own lives since the previous inspection, and since the visit two more inmates had done so.

One prisoner who had complex mental health needs was held in a cell that had no furniture other than a bed.

The report said it was clear that facilities management at the prison “was in a parlous state.”

The inspection report published last week shows how 71% of prisoners surveyed said they had felt unsafe at some point.

It also details how there was a backlog of some 2,000 maintenance tasks and HM Chief Inspector of Prisons, Peter Clarke, said in his report: “There were hundreds of unrepaired broken windows, with jagged glass left in the frames. Many lavatories

were filthy, blocked or leaking. There were infestations of cockroaches in some areas, broken furniture, graffiti, damp and dirt.

“I saw piles of rubbish that had clearly been there for a long time, and in which inspectors reported seeing rats on a regular basis. I was told by a senior member of staff that it had not been cleared by prisoners employed as cleaning orderlies because it presented a health and safety risk.

“It was so bad that external contractors were to be brought in to deal with it. In other words, this part of the jail had become so dirty, infested and hazardous to health that it could not be cleaned.”

Mr Clarke was particularly troubled by the case of one vulnerable man with complex mental health needs being held in a cell that had no furniture other than a bed.

He said: “It should not have needed my personal intervention for this man to be moved from such appalling conditions.”

In other damning notes put in the report, Mr Clarke said: “Violence of all kinds had increased since the last inspection. Over a third of prisoners told us they felt unsafe at the time of our inspection, and half said they had been victimised by staff.

“Nearly two-thirds of prisoners told us it was easy or very easy to obtain drugs; their perception appeared to be fully justified. Of those prisoners tested for drugs, there was a very high positive testing rate of 37.5%.

“It is hard to understand how the leadership of the prison could have allowed the situation to deteriorate to this extent.

“Four prisoners had taken their own lives since our last inspection; two more suspected self-inflic-

ted deaths took place shortly after our inspection.”

Michael Spurr, the chief executive of Her Majesty ’s Prison & Probation Service, said a “comprehensive action plan” had been launched in a bid to get the standards at the Walton prison up to scratch.

This includes a new governor, a reduction by 172 in the number of prisoners which had stood at 1,100.

It will also include a stricter cleaning policy.

But Michael Spurr claims work is well underway

to improve the prison. He said: “We are committed to fixing this, have already made changes where we can, and have today published a comprehensive action plan to address the Chief Inspector’s concerns.”

Walton MP Dan Carden added his voice to the need to improve the prison. He said: “The official inspection report raises more questions than it answers. Immediate action is required to improve safety and conditions at the prison for staff and prisoners alike.”

The students at the army base with their tutor

BOOTLE students were put through their paces in a gruelling four-day ‘army insight course’.

The youngsters from Hugh Baird College, who are studying Military Preparation and Uniformed Services, were invited to The Swynnerton Army Training Camp, near Stoke-on-Trent.

The gruelling trip consisted of various exercises that tested the overall fitness of the students and gave them an understanding of army life.

Each of the exercises taught throughout the duration of their experience was designed to give the students an opportunity to fully submerge themselves into life in the army.

Exercises included basic levels of first aid, cooking in a field and strategic thinking. Other topics that the students discussed and practised

included team working, employability within the army and target setting.

Overall the trip not only inspired the students, but also gave them a well-rounded understanding of what life would be like in the army by allowing them to practice what they have learnt in the classroom.

Student, Emily Telford, who was awarded ‘Best Cadet’ at Swynnerton Army Training Camp, said: “It was a really great experience to take part in, it was so interesting to see what it would really be like training for the Army and gave me an understanding of the level of fitness that would be required.”

Hugh Baird College, lecturer in public services, Steven Kelly, said: “The Army Insight course is a fantastic way for our students to gain a greater understanding of life in the armed forces.”

Boxer arrested after car crash is jailed over stolen shotgun Report by Tom Martin

The Switch Island junction is to be made safer for motorists.

Switch Island safety work to take 12 months Report by Tom Martin HIGHWAYS England will begin work on the £3million safety improvement project to Switch Island junction next month – and it could take 12 months to complete.

Many motorists claimed the layout of the junction was confusing and dangerous after it was remodelled following the opening of Broom's Cross Road and it was blamed for a number of serious accidents.

MP Bill Esterson was among those who called on Highways England to take action.

Work is now set to start after Monday, February 5, but Highways England say this could last a year to complete.

The work will include the construction of a new motorway gantry over the M57, installation of high mast traffic signals,, more 'intelligent cats eyes' to light up in response to changing traffic lights, changes to road layouts

and carriageways will be resurfaced.

There will also be improvements to cycle lanes. Highways England say that as well as improving safety it should ease traffic congestion in the area.

A letter sent out to local residents from Highway England said: “We are planning to carry out major improvements to Switch Island, where the M57, M58 and three A roads all meet.

“I am writing to inform you that we are shortly due to start these improvement works.

Balfour Beatty Mott MacDonald (BBMM) will be delivering these works on Highways England's behalf.

“We believe the scheme will improve the flow of traffic and enhance safety for road users.

“Work is due to start after February 5 for approximately 12 months.

“This will take place between the hours of 9pm and 5am Monday to Friday.

“There may be some element of weekend working to suit certain operation of works.”

AN amateur boxer from Waterloo, who has represented the country, was put behind bars for 32 months for firearms offences.

20-year-old Joe Saunderson was arrested after a stolen Audi, in which he was a passenger, crashed into two cars in Maghull and he and the driver Dean Colquhoun calmly walked off with a 12 gauge shotgun stolen in a burglary just six hours earlier.

A quick thinking resident, who heard the crash in Ormonde Drive, on the afternoon of October 6 last year, photographed the two young men and this image was shown to police.

Liverpool Crown Court heard that they were spotted nearby, despite having changed their clothes to try to avoid detection, and 20-year-old Saunderson, who fought for Knowsley Vale boxing club, was arrested at the scene in Gainsborough Road.

Colquhoun, who had meanwhile thrown the £4,000 Beretta shotgun in its bag, over a garden wall, ran off but was detained three weeks later.

The airbag had inflated when the Audi A1 crashed and his blood and saliva were found on it, said Lee Bonner, prosecuting.

The shotgun was recovered by police and the DNA of both men were found on the weapon.

Saunderson, of Pennine Way, Kirkby, and Colquhoun, 22, of Kingwood Avenue, Waterloo, both pleaded guilty to handling the stolen shotgun - which was one of three such weapons stolen from a locked gun cabinet in the earlier burglary.

They also both pleaded guilty to possessing the gun without a certificate and while prohibited because they have previous convictions, and

Joseph Saunderson.

aggravated vehicle driving in the Audi which had been stolen in a burglary a week earlier.

Colquohoun also admitted driving while disqualified and without insurance and he was jailed for a total of three and a half years and banned from driving for four years three months.

Saunderson received 32 months detention and was banned from driving for 37 months.

Judge Gary Woodall said: “There is a clear public need to discourage the unlawful possession of firearms which means these firearm offences are serious and require custodial sentences.

“The unlawful possession of firearms are a grave source of danger to society.”

Guest house owner admits TV show was ‘hard work’ Report by Kenny Parker A GUEST house owner from Lydiate who volunteered to be part of Channel Four's Four In A Bed, has said that if he knew what it involved he wouldn’t do it again.

Paul Green, who with partner Mandie Magee runs Oaklee Barn, says he had not realised just how arduous taking part would be.

The popular programme features four bed and breakfast establishments from across the country, the owners of which take it in turns to stay in each other’s accommodation.

The winner is the venue named best value for money.

Paul said: “If I had known how hard it was beforehand I would not have done it.

“But once we started it would have been unfair on other people to leave.

“It was just the filming. They film everything so many times and keep the couples separate with a marshal on each couple so that you can not discuss anything.

“They interview you before breakfast in bed, then when you are getting ready, then before breakfast, then after breakfast, before lunch, and after lunch.

“Even when you go to bed at night time they film you in bed!

“They are just trying to get you to make comments about the other couples to make good telly.” Paul and Mandie who appeared on TV’s Four in a Bed.

Taxpayers asked to pay £1 extra a month to support the police Report by Tom Martin COUNCIL taxpayers in Sefton will be asked if they would be willing to pay an extra £1 a month to help Merseyside Police in wake of crippling budget cuts.

Merseyside’s Police Commissioner, Jane Kennedy, is asking residents if they would want to fork out a little extra to help maintain police officer numbers and recruit new armed officers.

It comes after the government announced that the police in Merseyside would, once again, receive no more extra money from the Home Officee.

Instead, Police and Crime Commissioners will be expected to ask local council taxpayers to pay up to an extra £1 a month towards their police service.

Since 2010, Merseyside Police has had to make cuts of £103million, with an estimated £18m still to make by 2021/22.

If the Police Commissioner does not win the support of local people, Merseyside Police will be left facing a further shortfall of more than £3.17m – the equivalent of 64 police officer posts.

Ms Kennedy said: “The sad truth is that this government has once again left police forces around the country facing a funding black hole.

“They have washed their hands of their responsibility and shifting the burden of paying for the police onto local council taxpayers.

“By freezing the grant provided by central government at the 2017/18 rate - a reduction on the previous two years - the Policing Minister has imposed a real terms cut on the police budget as we contend with pay and inflationary pressures.

“His proposal is that I make up this shortfall by asking local taxpayers to pay more.

“This is a step I am reluctant to take, but if I don’t

raise the policing element of local council tax then Merseyside Police will be penalised and our communities adversely affected.

“This money will be used to save police officer jobs and help us to recruit 20 new armed officers who are needed to help tackling the scourge of serious and organised crime on Merseyside.

“I know finances are tight for a lot of people on Merseyside at the moment so I don’t ask for this tax rise lightly.”

The Commissioner is now holding a consultation on the extra funding plea which would increase the police element of council tax payers’ bills from £110.65 to £118.65 a year.

Even with this increase, the Commissioner and Chief Constable will still be forced to make savings of £7million over the next 12 months.

MP wants inquiry into RBS treatment of small businesses

‘What happened was a scandal and a disaster for its victims’ Report by Tom Martin A FULL inquiry should be launched into the treatment of small businesses by the Royal Bank of Scotland, says Sefton Central MP Bill Esterson.

Mr Esterson, who is Labour's Shadow Minister for Business, was speaking in the House of Commons during a debate on the RBS. It was reported last August that the RBS department set up to help companies in trouble, called Global Restructuring Group (GRG), mistreated many of its clients.

College give support to Carillion apprentices Report by Tom Martin APPRENTICES who have been left without a job after services firm Carillion went bust have been given support from Hugh Baird College.

The Bootle-based college hosted the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) last week and invited more than 200 apprentices who had been employed by Carillion to attend and get advice.

The event, held at the college's Port Academy Liverpool, was held to assess each apprentice's skill level and requirements so they could discuss opportunities for continuing their training.

Better traffic light sequencing on A5036 would mean there would be no need for a new road A new road through Rimrose Valley is not the only option to cope with invreased docks traffic.

There is a far less costly way to solve the problem of traffic flow on the A5036.

Anew road is going to have to cut through many other smaller roads on its way to Switch Island.

So with a plethora of additional traffic lights, with their endless pedestrian sequences, when there is nobody crossing, will mean it takes just as long to traverse the journey to Switch Island, as it does now along the existing A5036.

If you travel down the existing road from Switch Island to the docks, if you were to hit every traffic light on green, (only ever come close once) you can do it in a third of the time it takes if you hit them all on red. (which is most of the time).

A typical example is the light sequencing on Switch Island itself, especially since the addition of new road from Southport.

You come off the M58 and instantly hit four sets

of lights in the space of 300 meters that nine times out of ten are on red.

If you do manage to get through one set then the next set ahead of you, which are green with no traffic flowing through them, while you sit there, suddenly change to red the moment you approach them.

It can take five minutes, just to get through this section alone.

If all the lights were sequenced, so that once one changes to green, the next set changes as you approach it, and so on all the way to the docks.

The same could be done with the M57. and the A59 in sequence.

Add to this, less priority given to side roads and retail parks along the A5036, used as rat runs, or stopping 30 cars and lorries to let one car out, or pedestrian lights that change after people have already crossed, or pressed the button and not waited.

Or excessive lead and laps times, of these lights

Drivers go 50mph on a 20mph road

when nothing is moving, to account for the 1 in 100 time a slower person my be crossing, Adjust this and you could reduce travel time, by at least 50% - a lot more than any new road, costing millions will save.

Plus less pollution from standing traffic as well as making the road safer, all at a fraction of the cost of a new road.

This sort of adjustable computer traffic sequencing is not new, and is not rocket science.

It is used all over the country, and on the continent.

It could also be used on Queens Drive, Derby Road, and any other main route in and out of the city.

Saving millions of gallons of fuel and reducing traffic pollution, and global warming at a stroke.

This is the only viable option.

I live in Field Lane, Litherland.

For some reason this rat run does not have speed humps and I believe the council have no plans to install any unless there are some recorded accidents.

The speed limit is 20mph yet we have cars passing here doing up to 50mph.

Driving at double the limit is severely punished.

Yet nobody is ever stopped.

The people who live in the houses and apartments on the new estate are the offenders.

They will know who they are.

I am worried that somebody is going to get badly injured or killed.

I’d like to plea to these drivers to slow down.

You are putting pedestrians and cyclists at risk by going this speed as well as your own life.

Please think before you press the pedal.

PICTURE of the week

Rat run is causing mayhem I consider your report on the rat-run junction to be unbalanced in that there is no view from the residents of Thornton parish and it is inaccurate to suggest that only a few cars are involved.

On a daily basis, I watch with incredulity the mayhem and aggressive driving around Thornton Crescent, Edge Lane and Tomfield Road. The wild west certainly reigns.

One man claims that the residents of Amoury Road and surrounding will suffer if Edgemoor Road is closed.

Oh dear. Does he not realise that the Thornton residents whose lives are blighted 24/7 will also have to put up with the same inconvenience for the sake of peace and quiet, being able to cross their road, use their driveways, having their cars damaged or having abuse hurled at them by motorists hurtling past well in excess of the speed limit.

It might well be that with the closure, traffic on Moor Lane will not have to slow down and thus improve the flow.

A constant topic at Thornton Parish Council meetings is rat running on roads surrounding Moor Lane/Quarry Road.

If ward councillors attended meetings they would realise the strength of feeling from residents who are also voters.

Guiding hand: Following its appearance on TV’s Great British Railway Journeys with Michael Portillo, The Hornby Heritage Room at Maghull Leisure Centre opened its doors last Sunday for visitors to see the collection in honour of Maghull’s visionary toy manufacturer Frank Hornby.

I am willing to pay to park at hospital but the amount being charged now is extortionate First thing first. It was not Aintree Hospital per se, who made all those millions charging hospital patients.

It is the privately run company that came to an agreement with the hospital, as the service was outsourced.

Secondly, I was completely horrified by reading that even holders of a blue badge are charged by certain hospital trusts.

These people have the parking badge for a reason. So what is the point of having one?

I consider myself lucky as, I only require to visit the hospital twice a year. I cannot

imagine the parking charges for people who require visits to hospital for chemotherapy, or other health management instances eg. dialysis.

Not only they have to cope with a disease or a long term condition, which they either inherited or acquired, but with parking charges accrued while they either wait for a regular treatment, they have to keep an eye on the clock that is ticking.

I would not suggest completely free parking, but certainly reduced charges.

Let's be realistic here, but not greedy.

There is no such thing as free lunch.

I am willing to pay, but not extortionate London parking charges on a northern pension.

Thirdly, I am going to deviate from the topic here, but it still regards hospitals, ids the cancellation of vital operations.

It is absolutely disgusting.

This decision will certainly affect certain patients, who will have an already stressful situation made even more anxious by delayed ops.

Do you know history of bollard ‘Erected

By The Overseers?’

I noticed this bollard on the corner of Seeds Lane and Melling Road in Aintree.

It has the inscription ‘Erected by the Overseers 1877’ on it.

I would like to know if anyone has any information about the history of this object and why it would be placed there.

Campaign urges locals to walk or cycle to work TRANSPORT chiefs from Liverpool City Region Combined Authority want to see more people cycling and walking to work after claiming it can lead to a happier life.

The ‘Arrive Happy’ campaign has been launched to promote the health and wellbeing benefits of walking and cycling to work.

It is believed that walking or cycling for just ten minutes a day as part of a commute to work can help to lift mood, provide more energy, reduce stress levels and help sleep better.

Steve Rotheram, Metro Mayor for the Liverpool City Region said: “Walking and cycling for 30 minutes a day can be both personally rewarding and socially beneficial.

It’s also true that a happier and healthier work-force is also going to be more productive and motivated.

These are small changes in lifestyle with potential to deliver big and life-changing impacts.”

Sandra Gilbert, CEO of Mind Wirral added: “It is widely recognised that physical exercise really benefits our mental wellbeing.

“Start small because everyday changes to your physical activity really do count. If you start walking or cycling to work one day a week then celebrate your achievements.

And if you need to speak to someone about a mental health issue contact your local services for information and support."

Daniel Shepherd.

Thug who injured nurse in high speed car crash is caught with knife in jail Report by Lynda Roughley A THUG serving four years after leaving a nurse’s arm partially severed in a high speed crash in Litherland has been caught with a knife in prison.

Disqualified driver Daniel Shepherd was put behind bars last year for 50 months after admitting causing serious injury to district nurse Suzanne Dunne.

Shepherd, who was four times over the legal limit for cannabis, was trying to outrun police in Litherland in November 2015 when he crashed into the victim’s car about 78 mph.

Mrs Dunne suffered serious fractures to both arms, scalp wounds and bruising and had to be cut from the wreckage while meanwhile Shepherd jogged away from the scene.

She had to give up the career she loved after the crash in Hawthorne Road.

He was put behind bars for that offence in May at which time he was serving a six month term for racially aggravated offences.

Mr Jones said that on March 22 he was on his way to the gym in Walton prison when he was subjected to a random routine search by prison officers and an object was found in his trouser pocket.

When asked what it was 26-year-old Shepherd said “he did not know” but it was found to be a lock knife, Rob Jones, prosecuting, told Liverpool Crown Court on Tuesday, January 16.

Judge Neil Flewitt, QC sentenced him to 12 months imprisonment to begin when he has finished his current sentence.

He told Shepherd, formerly of Rumney Road West, Kirkdale, that he must appreciate the dangers of knives in prison and that there had to be a custodial sentence.

William Beardmore, defending, said that Shepherd had run up a £200 debt while in prison and to partly re-pay that he had been asked to deliver the weapon to another prisoner in the gym.

Council to open doors for vulnerable Report by Tom Martin SEFTON Council will host a ‘Keep Warm, Keep Well’ event next month to help vulnerable people get through winter.

The local authority, alongside Bootle-based Sefton OPERA, are supporting the National Energy Action’s Warm Homes Campaign by

organising an event at The Atkinson Arts Centre, in Southport, on Monday, February 19 from 11am.

A recent report from The Warm Homes Campaign highlighted that more than a million families won’t be able to meet basic costs of living this winter, facing an income shortfall of up to £9,331 per year (£778 per month).

Many vulnerable people will be hit hard, including older people and those in ill-health,

living in energy inefficient homes that are difficult and expensive to heat.

Lack of internet access is also considered a barrier to lowering energy costs.

Cllr Catie Page, Sefton Council’s fuel poverty champion, said: “Living in a cold damp home can lead to extremely poor health, especially for the more vulnerable members of our community.

“There is however excellent work going on locally to tackle this problem.

“I urge anyone living in a cold home or concerned about their energy bills to come along to our Keep Warm, Keep Well on February 19.”

Information stands will be open between 11am and 12.30pm, followed by a free tea dance from 1.30pm.

If you are unable to attend but would like to know more about the help available to pay your energy bills, contact Sefton’s Affordable Warmth Team on 0151 934 2222.

£56m roadworks to improve city centre access enters new phase A MAJOR £52 million roadworks scheme to better connect the north of Liverpool to the city centre has entered a new phase.

The Champion has reported how contractors for Liverpool City Council have completed works widening a major junction between Leeds Street and Great Howard Street (A565).

They have now moved on to begin a radical overhaul of the city’s historic Regent Road, known more commonly as the Dock Road, to be more pedestrian and cycle friendly.

The first element of the Regent Road project involves the laying of new pavements and road resurfacing with the creation of new footpaths to begin in February, followed by a purpose built cycle lane which will open up a new 13 mile riverside route from Formby in Sefton to the city centre for the first time.

A seven mile southern cycle lane will then connect to Otterspool when the proposed upgrade to The Strand is completed.

Preliminary groundworks have begun to address culverts and drainage with the first phase, starting at the city centre heading north to the Grade II listed Bascule Bridge at Stanley Dock in the city’s World Heritage Site, expected to be completed in Summer 2018.

The second phase which goes north of the 86-year-old bridge is scheduled to complete the following summer.

The improvements are seen as crucial for the wider regeneration of the area as Regent Road borders both Peel’s £5.5billion Liverpool Waters Scheme, which includes the new £400m Liverpool 2 Superport, and the Ten Streets Creativity District, as well as leading to Bramley

Bascule Bridge

Moore Dock - the location for Everton FC’s proposed new football stadium.

Meanwhile contractors, Geoffrey Osborne Ltd, are continuing to convert the A565 into a new dual carriageway, which is part funded by the Liverpool City Region Growth Deal.

Expected to finish by Summer 2019, the £22m upgrade to North Liverpool’s Atlantic Corridors are a major part of Liverpool City Council’s wider £300m Better Roads programme to improve the city’s road infrastructure.

The scheme will be complemented by the creation of a further two new waterfront link roads, at the cost of £20m, at the city centre end of the A565, which are being built to support a proposed new £50m cruise passenger facility and new £30m Isle Of Man Cruise terminal.

The first phase of the A565 upgrade was completed by Graham Construction in September 2017 after a year-long road closure enabled the £10m replacement of the Great Howard Street bridge, so it could handle more freight tonnage for the Liverpool2 deep water container terminal.

Councillor Ann O’Byrne, deputy mayor of Liverpool, said: “Upgrading our high-

ways infrastructure is fundamental to building a better Liverpool – one that is match fit for the 21st century.

“This scheme is about future proofing the city’s growth in north Liverpool and is the golden thread to underpinning the success of major regeneration projects such as Liverpool Waters, the new Cruise Terminals, the Ten Streets District and the potential new home for Everton Football Club which will all help redefine our economy over the coming decades.

“Despite government cuts the city council has never been more committed to growing our economy and these highways schemes are another example of how Liverpool’s potential is being unlocked – with an unprecedented £14bn of investment either on site or in the pipeline.

“Of course for commuters highways works means temporary disruption, but by investing £52m in these schemes – with a further £130m of works to begin across the city this year – we will provide long term benefits for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians – which will help the city attract and accommodate new businesses, more tourists and create new jobs.

“Quite simply, better roads means a better city to live, work, visit and play in.”

Volunteers who help homeless get donation from pensions firm VOLUNTEERS who help the homeless by handing out drinks and food have been given a donation to help their work.

HOPE (Helping Other People Exist), which is funded entirely by donations, helps people across the city who are sleeping rough.

They walk around to find vulnerable people living on the streets, offering them hot drinks and food, as well as socks, gloves and other clothing items.

The group go out four nights a week between 9.30-11.30pm and stick to a regular route so those in need know where to find them.

local pensions administrator MyCSP. The donations include everything from gloves and hats to sleeping bags and thermal socks.

David Boardman, director of customer excellence at MyCSP said: “Hot food and essential items such as warm clothing and sleeping bags are vital for anyone sleeping on our streets.

“We’re full of admiration for the HOPE project and the support they provide for some of the most vulnerable in our society.”

Bus users are left guessing over changes to timetables WHAT’S in a word - the word ‘approximately ’ in particular?

I’ve just been consulting my trusty, if by no means complete, Collins Concise English Dictionary and come up with the answers 'almost exact or correct', ‘to come near to’ or ‘to be almost the same as.’

So quite a useful word in many circumstances.

It’s fair enough to say “I will be there in approximately an hour” or “It will take approximately two gallons of water to fill it.”

Used thus the word gives its recipient a clear idea within a short time frame of exactly what you mean.

But last week I was puzzled by this word.

Just before the weekend before last, bus stop timetables in my neck of the woods suddenly sprouted a notice, with an unmissable red ‘warning’ at its top, giving the information that as from the following Saturday these stops would be out of use for the two ‘through’ bus routes in Maghull - the 300 service to Southport and the 310 bus to Ormskirk because of roadworks at the junction of the A59 Northway and Liverpool Road South.

I can’t remember the exact wording of the whole thing, but as well as giving the alternative routes these two services would follow (good), it also said that these arrangements would last for “approximately two days” (bad).

Now the diversion these two routes followed took them some distance away from the bus stops affected.

This meant that in my case I would need to walk perhaps half a mile to reach them - which wouldn’t have been such an awful thing just for a couple of days over the weekend.

But would the buses have returned to their normal routes on Monday morning? What was an intending passenger to do? Guess which bus stop patiently to wait at? And if so, for how long, given that buses have been known on occasion to be several minutes behind the published time?

And it’s no good saying you could find out on the Merseytravel or Arriva websites.

There are still many folk like me who cannot do that - but even for those who could, if they hadn’t seen the timetable notice beforehand, they would not have realised the need to before they set out anyway.

Now I don’t blame either Arriva (operators of the two services concerned), or even Merseytravel (who put up the timetables) because obviously neither could have known exactly when the road works would be completed.

But these diversions covered roughly a mile of the two routes and involved only six bus stops.

Surely it would have been possible for Merseytravel to have sent somebody out in a van or car as soon as it was known that the 300 and 310 were reverting to their normal routes, and stick a piece of paper over the ‘WARNING’ notice?

I know this is something I have bitched about before, but reliance by bodies in authority suffer from a modern-day problem of assuming that a) everybody has and can use a computer, and that in the case of public transport in particular, b) that everyone will consult the thing each time they go out to catch a local bus or train.

A few years ago I was Maghull Town Council's representative on a Merseytravel consultative committee.

And time and time again, when a bus route was changed or timing altered, their response to my question “How do you expect people to know about that?” was “It’s on our website” which was a fat lot of good if you’ve just turned up at the stop for your bus to work, only to find that it now left five minutes earlier!

I believe that in Sefton we still do pretty well for public transport. Happily we haven’t seen the swingeing cuts to bus services that have so badly affected many rural areas and we are blessed with one of the best local railway services in the country.

But if more people are to be attracted out of their cars and onto buses and trains, then it is vital not only that services go where and when folk need them, but that they are also kept abreast of any shortterm changes that have to be made - and when those changes have ceased if firm date cannot be foreseen.

Residents who have ‘hidden disabilities’ could get blue badge

Mobility Solutions From the experts...

Report by Tom Martin

■ NHS PRESCRIPTION PROVIDER ■ HONEST, RELIABLE, QUALITY ASSURED SERVICE EVERYTIME

SEFTON residents with ‘hidden disabilities’ could soon have greater access to blue badges under new government plans.

The proposals, which would herald the most significant changes since the blue badge was introduced in 1970, would help remove barriers to travel for people with conditions such as dementia and autism, allowing them better access to work, shops and amenities.

This, say campiagners, could also further help create parity between physical and mental health.

Currently, about 2.4m disabled people in England have a blue badge, allowing them to park on roads without charge and normally without time limit. Around 75% of blue badge holders say they would go out less often if they didn’t have one.

Transport Minister Jesse Norman said: “Blue badges give people with disabilities the freedom to get jobs, see friends or go to the shops with as much ease as possible.

UK and while every person on the autism spectrum is different, for some, not being able to park in a predictable place close to a destination can cause a great deal of anxiety and put their safety at risk.

“Some autistic people can experience too much information from the environment around them on public transport, while other autistic people might not be aware of dangers on the road.

“However, current blue badge rules mean that all-too-often autistic people don’t qualify.”

Councils have different interpretations of the existing rules with some recognising hidden disabilities, but the changes proposed would give clear and consistent guidelines for the whole of England.

People with 'hidden disabilities' could be given blue badges

“We want to try to extend this to people with invisible disabilities, so they can enjoy the freedom to get out and about, where and when they want.”

The changes could also see a variety of healthcare professionals, who are better placed to identify if mental health causes mobility issues, carry out assessments to determine if a blue badge should be given.

Sarah Lambert, Head of Policy at the National Autistic Society, said: “The National Autistic Society welcomes this government proposal. It could mean that many more autistic people will qualify for a blue badge, which can be a lifeline.

MP calls for RBS inquiry A FULL inquiry should be launched into the treatment of small businesses by banking giant RBS, claims Sefton Central MP Bill Esterson.

The local politician, who is Labour's Shadow Minister for Business and International Trade, was speaking in the House of Commons during a debate on the Royal Bank of Scotland.

Last August, it was reported that the RBS department set up to help companies in trouble, called Global Restructuring Group, mistreated many of its clients.

GRG, which operated from 2005 to 2013 and at its peak handled 16,000 companies, is accused of raising interest charges and adding unnecessary fees to 92% of the viable firms it dealt with.

GRG would step in when businesses had skipped a loan repayment, or seen their sales and profits dip notably and was marketed as an expert service that would turn around a business.

But it is claimed that struggling companies that were placed in the recovery group had a slim chance of emerging from it – and just 10% returned intact to the main RBS bank.

The banking giant denies systematic abuse of its customers.

MP Esterson said: “What happened was nothing short of a scandal and was a disaster for the victims. Businesses were ruined, families torn apart and people took their own lives.

There are many who believe criminal investigations to be the appropriate way forward.

“This was not proper turnaround practice. It wasn’t turnaround practice at all for the customers. It was more like the turnaround of the bank at the expense of its customers.

The MP said the time had come for a robust system of dispute resolution saying: “It is needed to overcome the imbalance of power. And that’s also why the call for an inquiry is the right call.”

Rotheram rules out option to add ‘mayoral precept’ to council tax SEFTON residents will avoid paying a 'Mayoral Precept' on their council tax bills after Liverpool City Region Metro Mayor, Steve Rotheram, confirmed he is shunning the charge.

The metro mayor, who was voted into the newly createdrole in May last year,has the option of adding the fee to the six local councils within the City Region, including Sefton and Liverpool City Councils.

However, he said he will not be taking up the option.

He said: “At a time when the government is asking taxpayers in some of the UK’s most disadvantaged areas to pay the price for their Metro mayor Steve Rotheram continuing cuts to the police and local councils, members of the Combined Authority believe it would be done to identify a sustainable funding wrong to add further financial pressure model for the long term. on local residents.

cessful in attracting nearly half a billion pounds in additional money to support investment in roads, transport and combatting homelessness.

“Devolution is delivering a massive net financial gain to our area and as long as there is no need to add to the size of local tax bills, we will avoid doing that.”

The Combined Authority Budget will be presented to the Combined Authority Meeting on Friday, February 2.

The Cities and Local Government Devolution Act 2016 enables new powers to be transferred to combined authorities, and provides for mayors for an area of a combined authority, for financial arrangements to enable mayoral combined authorities to issue a mayoral precept to fund functions exercised by the mayor.

This makes provision for a precept to be set by the mayor of a combined authority to fund mayoral functions, the arrangements for setting and approving a combined authority mayoral budget, provision for a mayor’s general fund, and transitional provisions.

Drug drive arrests increase by 50% over festive period Report by Tom Martin MERSEYSIDE Police has released the results of their Christmas crackdown on illegal drivers – with a huge 48% increase in the number of drug drive arrests.

There was also a 29% rise in drink driving arrests during the What's The Cost campaign which ran from December 1 until January 1.

Officers carried out 5,026 breath tests and arrested 261 people for drink or drug driving-related offences, which compares to 203 arrests in the 2016 campaign.

The total number of drink drive arrests made was 125, with an increase from 111 in 2016. The total number of drug drive arrests was 136, an increase from 92 in 2016.

Casualty Reduction Officer Paul Mountford, from the Roads Policing Unit said: “It is disappointing that we have seen an increase in motorists arrested for drug and drink driving.

“While they represent a small minority of drivers, I cannot stress enough the danger that these people present, not just to themselves, but to

other road users too.

“The current drug driving legislation makes the process of prosecuting drug drivers much simpler and our rates of prosecution are high “Our message to those drivers would be don’t risk it. The consequences of being caught can be lifechanging. We will remain vigilant throughout 2018 to find those drivers who present a risk to other road users.

“We are committed to tackling drink and drug driving throughout the year, not just during the Christmas period.

Any driver involved in a road traffic collision, or who commits a traffic offence, can expect to be breathalysed at any time in the year, and may be required to perform an impairment test.”

During the campaign, officers handed out single-use breathalysers to drivers and encouraged hotels to stock them in their receptions, to encourage people to test themselves and consider the potential consequences of driving the morning after a night of drinking.

Officers say 13% of drink driving arrests during the campaign occurred between the hours of 6am and noon.

Fire service teams to offer blood pressure checks in community

MERSEYSIDE Fire and Rescue Service teams will carry out blood pressure checks in the community as part of a new scheme.

The scheme is being funded by the British Heart Foundation and builds on the fire service’s established Home Fire Safety Check initiative.

It aims to support local health needs by delivering recognized health interventions with specially trained fire service advocates.

Undertaken in conjunction with the NHS, fire service staff can provide advice on how to avoid a trip or fall in the home, the benefits of quitting smoking or reducing their alcohol consumption and awareness of the national bowel cancer screening programme.

Holidaymakers warned not to make any false sickness payout claims Report by Tom Martin HOLIDAYMAKERS are being approached by claims companies urging them to lie and say they were sick during their trip to pocket a payout.

Figures released last week by the Association of British Travel Agents show that 1 in 5 travellers from Britain were contacted on their return home by firms who encourage them to make a false claim.

The Champion has reported a number of stories in recent years about holidaymakers who claim they are sick.

Whether they are all being truthful or not, the ABTA is calling on the government to crackdown on the claims and bring in measures ahead of the 2018 holiday season.

Common claims made by holidaymakers is that they fell ill due to food they ate at the hotel.

Making a false compensation claim for holiday sickness is an act of fraud and if prosecuted could result in a large fine, criminal record or jail term of up to three years.

However, many people are unaware of the seriousness of the penalty.

On average, successful claimants get payouts of just over £2,000 each, and it's costing the travel industry tens of millions of pounds.

The figures, which come from a YouGov survey, reveal the most common way people are contacted is over the phone, text or email – with some even saying they have been approached in person when they arrive back at the airport.

The new figures have been released as part of ABTA’s ‘Stop Sickness Scams’ campaign which

highlights that false claims are costing the travel industry tens of millions of pounds.

ABTA is calling for the urgent closure of a loophole in the law, which enables claims management companies and legal firms to make more money in fees from sickness claims abroad, than they’re able to from personal injuries in the UK. Evidence from the travel industry and customers highlights that some claims management companies are contacting people out of the blue, encouraging them to make a false claim and often misleadingly saying there is a pot of money waiting to be claimed - but aren’t telling them the risks involved.

In October last year, a couple from Wallasey became the first people to ever be jailed for making bogus sickness claims.

Deborah Briton was sentenced to nine months and her partner Paul Roberts was jailed for 15 months.

Since 2013, there has been a 500% rise in the number of compensation claims received by travel companies for holiday sickness - yet the number of sickness reports to hotels in resorts has remained the same.

Mark Tanzer, ABTA’s Chief Executive said: “Unscrupulous claims management companies are encouraging people to make a false sickness claim which could land them with a large fine or even a prison sentence.

“False claims don’t just make UK holidaymakers vulnerable to serious penalties.

“They are also costing travel companies and hotel owners tens millions of pounds and tarnishing the reputation of the British abroad.

“Closing the loophole in the law in time for the 2018 holiday season will make a big difference. It will help to tackle these fraudulent sickness claims.”

Radio presenter Pete Price given special Citizen of Honour civic accolade Report by Tom Martin LIVERPOOL City Council has given radio presenter Pete Price a top civic honour.

The 71 year old has been nominated for Citizen of Honour in recognition of his 50 years in showbusiness and his charity work.

He received the award at Liverpool Town Hall on Tuesday, January 23.

The comedian, actor, panto star and broadcaster, who was born in Wrexham, shot to fame in the 1970s when he won the ITV talent programme New Faces, and went on to star in many more TV appearances and travel the world as a stand-up comic.

After a stint at the BBC, working for Radio Merseyside, Radio One and the World Service, he started working for Radio City and has been almost a permanent fixture ever since, presenting a late night talk show since the 1990s which now goes out every Sunday night across Radio City 2 and Radio City Talk.

Over the years he has broken many big news stories, including the horrific murder of James Bulger where he reflected the city’s grief on media outlets around the world.

He also generated global headlines of “Last night a DJ saved my life� when he left his radio studio in search of a 12 year old boy in Walton who had called and said he planned to end his own life.

Pete is openly gay and has spoken out about the aversion therapy treatment he

received in the 1960s in which doctors used electrodes to “treat� homosexuality, which was illegal at that time.

Lord Mayor, Councillor Malcolm Kennedy, said: “Pete Price is an institution, loudly passionate about Liverpool because he genuinely cares about the city and its people. “He has used his fame and his phone in to rightly shine a spotlight on many difficult issues as well as speaking out against homophobia, bullying and highlighting mental health issues. “I am delighted to be able to confer the Citizen of Honour award on him.�

Mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson added: “Pete Price has been a fixture of Liverpool life for generations and this honour is much deserved. “The list of people he doesn’t know isn’t worth knowing, but he is so much more than that. He has spent a lifetime not just making people laugh by entertaining them, but also using his radio programme to speak up for those who can’t be heard. “He has also been an incredible roving ambassador for Liverpool – he is the city through and through and it is right and proper that we recognise his significant contribution by awarding him Citizen of Honour.�

Pete’s passion for Liverpool was taken to a new level five years ago when he began travelling to Singapore selling the city on the world stage as part of a project called “The Best of British�.

Among the many charities he works continually for is Claire House Children’s Hospice in Wirral, which he is a patron of and cares deeply for.

Pete Price said: “Liverpool has been my life. It gave me the opportunity and platform to be who I am today. It has had some dark times, but now, as I always have been, I am proud to talk about Liverpool. “People sometimes ask why I live on the Wirral, but from my lounge every day I have the best view of the city, overlooking one of the most iconic waterfronts in the world. “I never take for granted the city or the people, and apart from this new honour, one of my biggest achievements was being made an honorary scouser. “Thank you Liverpool for giving me so much.�

ENTERTAINMENT

Royal Court playing host to Her Benny LIVERPOOL Royal Court plays host to Her Benny from this Thursday (January 25) until Saturday, February 10.

The musical, which won the International Quest for New Musicals, is celebrating its 25th Anniversary.

It was first staged in Liverpool in 1993 where it played to sell-out audiences at The Empire Theatre.

The show has received a makeover for this production but still remains true to Silas K Hocking’s original novel, an emotive tale that centres on the life and times of Benny Bates and his waif like sister Nell in Victorian Liverpool. It’s a feel good classic rags to riches story but it’s not all serious though, far from it. There is plenty of scouse humour, spectacular dance numbers, memorable tunes and rich and engaging dialogue.

The cast includes John McGrellis who has appeared in several productions in the city’s theatres and was more recently DI Martin Leahy in the widely acclaimed ITV series Little Boy Blue and the fabulous Lindzi Germain, one of The Royal Court’s regulars.

She is a wonderful all rounder who has starred in stage plays, farces, gritty dramas and musical theatre.

Most recently she starred as Angela Gabriel in The Royal Court’s sell out Christmas production The Scouse Nativity.

Together with Janet Cowley, ex Phantom of the Opera, and Elliott Hanna who played the leading role of Billy Elliot in the West End production at the Victoria Palace Theatre London, they join a stellar professional cast drawn primarily from the Merseyside area and a group of juvenile performers chosen from an audition held The Adelphi Hotel, Liverpool.

More than 250 young hopefuls from the region attended and it took a gruelling four days to make the final selections.

“The parts of the juvenile leads in this produc-

A scene from Her Benny

tion, Eva Lawrence and Nell and Benny Bates are challenging ones”, said writer and director Anne Dalton. They are bigger than in most musicals but I am delighted to have found youngsters who are just perfect for the roles. Due to their young age and the requirements of the licensing laws I have had to choose three children for each role but because of the wonderful turn out at the auditions I was able to find youngsters to fit the parts.”

For this special production Anne has revamped the script, replaced a song and has taken the opportunity to have the whole show re-orchestrated.

She’s delighted that Greg Last from Formby agreed to take on this role. This exceptional musical director and arranger has worked in the West End and on tours across the UK and abroad.

Most recently he was M.D. and arranger for The Everyman Christmas pantomime. The show has also been dazzlingly re-choreographed. The multitalented Nazene Danielle, who coincidently played the part of little Eva when she as a child, carried out this task with aplomb.

SO FAR Theresa May’s yet to make any announcement banning future episodes of Love Island being broadcast for good. Oasis are yet to get back together, and Britain’s best brewers still haven’t worked out how to create beer that helps you lose weight.

But very occasionally things you keep your fingers crossed for do actually happen. Regular readers might recall that in these very pages about six months ago I openly wished for Land Rover to bring the Defender back, if only so it could give all the aftermarket customisers currently ruining the old ones a well-deserved drubbing.

Amazingly, they’ve only gone and done it.

The Defender Works V8, to give it its official title, is not Britain’s biggest carmaker admitting it got it wrong all along and begrudgingly putting the nation’s most hardcore off-roader back into production. It’s being tackled by Jaguar Land Rover’s classic car division, but nor is it one of their beautifully executed revivals of its greatest hits, like the Jaguar E-types or the two-door Range Rovers it’s put together in recent years. This is Land Rover playing the aftermarket boys at their own game, by taking old ones, and imagining how much cooler they ’d be with big alloys, a noisy V8 and leatherlining trimmings. And then making it happen.

As a result it’s rather more expensive than the regular Defenders ever were – £150,000, since you’re asking – but it does churn out 400bhp, so it can hit sixty in 5.6 seconds AND go mountain climbing afterwards. Admittedly, you’d be a bit cheesed off if you bought one of the last-of-the-line Defenders two years ago, but Land Rover says that it’s only because it’s celebrating its 70th birthday this year. Honest. They won’t make any more Defenders after that. Promise!

As someone who spent most of their childhood in Land Rover’s V8 offerings I’m more than happy for them to have another crack at it – and while I reckon it’s a lovely birthday gesture it achieves what I suspect was Land Rover’s aim all along, because it looks so much better thought-out than all the dreadful Pimp My Defender offerings doing the rounds at the moment. For all its blacked out alloys and chromed door handles the Works V8 looks like it could still fit in at a farmers’ market in deepest Shropshire.

Obviously my next wish is for roughly £150,000 to appear in my bank account. Fingers crossed, and all that…

SPORT History repeats itself as Reds lose after late goal conceded AFC Liverpool 3 Barnoldswick Town 4 AFC Liverpool’s season thus far has seen plenty of high-scoring games.

The Reds are able to score freely as they did in their 7-2 cup victory in midweek, but all too often their defensive frailties have seen them lose games they should have won by the odd goal.

Barnoldswick Town managed a late winner against the Reds in the reverse fixture earlier in the season in a game where AFC appeared to have the upper hand, and history was doomed to repeat itself.

The Reds started strongly, looking for an early goal with Kevin Edgar and Leon Arnasalam both testing the keeper in an instant attack, but a break in the third minute from Barnoldswick saw a long ball over the top, and Joel Melia raced through to slot home and stun the home side.

The visitors lead was doubled after 10 minutes with another counterattack, that saw a bobbled shot bounce over Jack Cookson in the AFC goal.

Cookson then denied Barlick a third, with a fantastic one handed save from a free kick that was heading into the top corner.

The Reds battled back and were unlucky in the 24th minute after a free kick of their own rebounded off the post and was bundled in by Chris Anderson. It was disallowed however, following a contentious offside flag.

AFC Liverpool dominated the latter stages of the first half, with Edgar breaking free off his marker to fire home on 34 minutes. Danny Boden then cut inside and scored the equaliser two minutes later, and the Reds looked set to push onwards with the half time score at 2-2 The second half began identically to the first with an early prolonged attack from AFC, followed by a break from Barnoldswick that led to a goal. A deep cross came in from the left flank for Jack Overson to convert a header far too easily at the back post in the 51st minute.

The Reds continued to have the better of the attacking play, with the tricky Leon Arnasalam causing particular problems for the visitors, and the introduction of the returning Drew Lewis from the bench steadying the midfield.

Edgar sent Boden clear on goal once again to earn another deserved equaliser for the Reds on 76 minutes, slotting calmly under Bradley Garnett, and for a brief moment it seemed the team in red would go on to win the game.

Instead, it was another soft goal conceded just 2 minutes later that would decide the result. A simple route one pass from midfield was picked up on the edge of the area and Harry Thompson gave Barnoldswick the points, carefully lobbing the ball over Cookson.

With their effort and exciting play undone once again with a lapse of concentration, the Reds had no option but to press for another equaliser, and had two headed chances hitting the side netting from free kicks in the final 10 minutes.

Jay Howell also went close for the home side, firing a low drive just wide in the dying moments, but Town should also have increased their lead twice, failing to net in one-on-one situations.

Danny Boden was dismissed late on after receiving a second yellow card, and Barnoldswick were able to see the game out for a victory, leaving AFC Liverpool with an ongoing relegation headache to overcome.

AFC Liverpool host 1874 Northwich tonight at the Marine Travel Arena.

Teenage striker Watson joins Marine on loan deal MARINE have signed teenage striker Niall Watson on loan from Accrington Stanley.

Niall, 17, is the son of Marine championship winner Liam Watson and has already made his first team debut for League Two side Accrington.

He is an attacking player who can play anywhere across the front three.

A spokesperson for Marine said: “We extend our thanks to Accrington and manager John Coleman for agreeing to the loan.”

Meanwhile, Marine’s league match away to Mickleover Sports last Saturday was called off due to the bad weather.

Marine were due to return to action last night (Tuesday) hosting Shaw Lane and this Saturday they are at home to Rushall Olympic.

A repeat score of their visit to Rushall would be welcomed by manager Tommy Lawson, after his side won 2-0 back in October thanks to goals from Danny Mitchley and Liam Tongue.

If Marine win this Saturday, it will be the first time they have won a home league match in three months.

Marine have struggled at home this season, with their last league victory coming in October when they beat Stalybridge Celtic 3-1.

The Mariners currently sit in 27th place in the league table, but have games in hand over most of their relegation rivals, including Rushall Olympic.

Bucks set to host Charnock Richard in Macron Cup BOOTLE have been drawn at home to Charnock Richard in the third round of the Macron Challenge Cup. The tie between the two North West Counties League Premier Division will take place on Tuesday, March 12, with a 7.45pm kick off at TDP Solicitors Stadium.

The Bucks have already faced their East Lancashire league counterparts with Andy Westwell’s side running out 3-1 winners.

Meanwhile, joint managers Joe Doran and Phil Stafford have completed the signing of Stephen Wilson.

The midfielder joins the club from fellow Hallmark Security League Premier Division side AFC Liverpool.

Wilson, however, is no stranger to the Bucks having had a short spell with the club during the 2015/16 season - when he arrived on loan from AFC Fylde before moving onto Colwyn Bay when his loan spell came to an end.

Bootle’s league match at Irlam on Saturday was postponed.

Second placed Remyca to take on table toppers LITHERLAND Remyca’s match at Alsager Town last weekend was postponed due to a frozen pitch.

Remyca visit Cheadle Town tonight (Wednesday) and travel to Silsden on Saturday who are currently top the North West Counties First Division table.

The Yorkshire team were 12 points clear of second placed Remyca before Wednesday’s match, but they have played three games more.

Canning scores try on debut as Waterloo make it five wins in a row Firwood Waterloo 24 Stockport 17 WITH five consecutive wins and third in North One West, albeit second place Northwich do have a game in hand, there is no doubt that Firwood Waterloo have set their sites on a return to North Premier as soon as possible after relegation last season.

This was always going to be a tough fixture against another relegated side but the home side took a firm grip early on in the game to come through with a very creditable win and the try bonus point.

Firwood Waterloo opened the scoring with a try from debut back rower Liam Canning, the blind side taking advantage of a peel at the back of a line out before breaking off from the ensuing maul, taking players over with him as he drove to the line.

Stockport hit back with a converted try to take the lead but Firwood Waterloo came again with a try from Olwyn Watkins-Williams, after the ball had gone through a series of phases from a scrum the openside on hand to finish off some powerful pick and go play.

Jacob Allen brought up the third, swift hands across the line creating a three on two allow-

ing him to cross wide out. Nick Dwyer slotted the conversion to give his side a 17-7 lead at the interval.

A penalty from the visitors at the beginning of the second half narrowed the gap but it was short lived as with the home side keeping the ball tight, Scott Robson ploughed over from close in for the bonus score, Dwyer on hand with the conversion.

In the closing stages Stockport came back with a converted try to rescue a losing bonus point.

Firwood Waterloo are away at league leaders Vale of Lune on Saturday.

Coach targets second spot in table FIRWOOD Waterloo director of rugby Steve Wood declared himself “very satisfied” with his team’s victory over Stockport on Saturday.

He said: “We knew it was going to be a hard fixture for us but full credit to all those out on the field.

“We never let our focus drop and I

Clare House, 166 Lord Street, Southport PR9 0QA

thought our game management was top class. We are in third place and we have Northwich in our sites as we have most definitley targeted second spot.

“We are now playing with much more confidence than at the beginning of the season and that is

01704 392 392

showing up in our overall performance.”

Wood added: “There is a long way to go though and we must not get complacent.

“We have a very tough fixture next week away at league leaders Vale of Lune who have only lost one game

so far this season.

“Yet we will travel expecting to give them a hard game.

“They will have looked at our recent performances and I am sure they will not be taking us for granted.

“It should be a great match.”
