Speedo Mick is a sight for sore eyes!

WELL-known Everton fan ‘Speedo Mick’ has his sights set on completing a mammoth 1,000 mile walk after he visited a Netherton opticians to get a much-needed boost.

Michael Cullen, who was given the nickname because he only wears swimming trunks to watch his beloved Blues, was on a break from a 1,000mile walk from John O’Groats to Land’s End, which is the length of Great Britain.

He was forced to stop after he suffered a calf injury, but he will resume the walk once recovered and in the meantime he visited Netherton Eye Centre, in Marian Square, to meet staff.

CASH & CARRY NIGHT SHIFT PAIR IN BOOZE SCAM Report by Kenny Parker

TWO cash and carry night shift workers from Bootle were caught stealing cases of booze after they were seen leaving the site in a hire van loaded with goods.

Joseph Stafford, 29, of Akenside Street, and Steven Hughes, 28, of Hornby Road, both pleaded guilty to a charge of theft by employee between May 7 and May 31 of last year when they appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court on January 15.

Natalie Cassidy, prosecuting, said that they were working at Parfetts Cash and Carry at Aintree Racecourse Retail and Business Park, where they had the job of preparing online orders over night for collection the following morning.

Ms Cassidy said that Stafford, who does not drive, was seen on 26 occasions to select cases of alcohol and load them into Hughes’ car which was parked at the front entrance.

"The circumstances are that on each occasion they have then driven away and returned without the goods," she said.

The court heard they were caught when the general manager arrived at work at 5.30am on May 31and saw the men leave the site in a hired van. On checking the CCTV he saw that prior to leaving the van had been loaded with cases of booze.

The manager then checked previous CCTV and saw the other thefts. The total

value of alcohol stolen was £9,757.37.

During a subsequent interview, Ms Cassidy said that Stafford, who had a previous conviction for burglary and theft from 2007, told police he had a debt but would not say who to.

He over-ordered stock in order to steal, he admitted, but was not stealing to order.

He would let people know when he “had the goods” which he would sell for £10 a bottle. Continued inside

Landlord ‘lost it’ in row over damage to his flat By our Court Reporter

Joseph Burdett outside court

Night shift pair stole booze worth £10k from cash & carry

AN INNOCENT man suffered a punctured lung after being attacked outside his Bootle home by his friend’s landlord.

Joseph Burdett was angry that the friend had damaged the property he had rented out to him and when he saw Ian Smith getting out of his car in Harris Drive he challenged him about the issue.

He accused 51-year-old Mr Smith of wrecking the flat, where he had lived for a short time with his friend, and began punching him in the face.

Liverpool Crown Court heard that Mr Smith backed off and ran away but Burdett chased after him shouting abuse. After a distance Burdett appeared to give up the chase and Mr Smith shouted over to ask what it was all about.

The defendant then approached him again and after pointing out that Mr Smith was a friend of his lodger “you lunged at him and punched him in the face. You both ended up on the floor, you attempting to strangle him by pulling the collar on his coat,” said Judge Gary Woodhall.

Before making off and calling him names, Burdett kicked him in the ribs causing a fracture and consequent punctured left lung, he said.

33-year-old Burdett, of Queen Road, Bootle, had

Innocent man suffered punctured lung when he was attacked in street been convicted of causing grievous bodily harm after a trial during which he claimed that the victim suffered the serious injuries when he fell on top of him and it had been excessive self-defence.

Judge Woodhall said that the jury rejected his defence. The victim, a plasterer, was unable to work because of the chest injuries, had trouble sleeping and his anxiety problems were exacerbated by the incident. He is now planning to move to another part of the country.

He sentenced the father-of-two, whose 16 previous offences do not include violence, to two years imprisonment suspended for 20 months. He also ordered him to carry out 200 hours unpaid work and ten days rehabilitation activities and to pay Mr Smith £4,000 compensation.

Brendan Carville, defending, said that Burdett is a family man who also helps care for his widowed grandmother and who would have to borrow money to pay compensation.

“It is an unusual case. This is a very decent hard working man who maybe lost it outside the house.”

From page 1 Meanwhile Hughes, who had no previous convictions, said Stafford did not tell him what he was up to initally but he became aware of it as time went on.

“He didn't report what was going on as he didn't want to be seen as a grass and have him lose his job," Ms Cassidy said.

Hughes said he was paid for giving Stafford lifts, not always at the time of the theft, and on one occasion he received £150.

The prosecutor said that Hughes had worked for Parfetts since 2008 while Stafford had worked there since March 2019.

After being told that the matter was too serious for them to deal with, the magistrates ordered probation reports and sent the matter to Liverpool Crown Court for sentencing, where the men were told to appear on February 12.

Speedo Mick has his sights set on completing £100,000 charity walk From page 1

Netherton Eye Centre’s practice director, Tracy Tennant, said: “Mick is such an infectious character, so it was a real pleasure to have a local hero pay us a visit at the practice.

“Providing him with free sunglasses and reading glasses is the least we can do to help him on his journey, and we hope the ‘Oakleys’ in particular will provide him with the protection he needs on his walk.

“His visit shows that, even with his injury, Mick is still willing to raise as much awareness as he can, and we’re hoping we’ve helped bring more attention to the campaign to raise as much money as possible.”

Speedo Mick wrote on his Facebook page: “I would like to give a big shout out to Tracy and all the team at Netherton Eye Centre for being so generous and giving me a pair of beautiful glasses (because I’m always losing mine) and a lovely pair of Oakley sunglasses for when I restart my walk.

“Thank you to Tracy, Idris, Lindsay and all the team at Netherton Eye Centre for making me so welcome.”

Almost £92,000 of the £100,000 target has been raised for Mick’s charity, ‘Leave The Light On’, which will run community projects for people, young and old, who feel isolated.

The dog mess bags on a metal fence on Bridle Road

Just poo would do such a disgusting thing as hang all these doggie dirt bags from a fence It makes me beyond angry, says one fed up resident DISGUSTED residents claim dog owners are using a fence to hang their poo bags instead of putting them in a bin.

Images shared on social media show multiple dog mess bags dangling from a metal fence along Bridle Road.

Locals claim this has been happening since last September and some believe it’s because there are no bins nearby, while others believe the dog owners should dispose of them at home instead of leaving them on the fence.

One angry person who uploaded the images to Facebook said: “I've personally cleared over 20 of those bags up until I had enough. It’s disgusting and it makes me beyond angry every single day when I have to walk past.

“There’s a new bag every single day and if there isn’t it’s throw on

the floor somewhere before or after the path. The whole area is a disgrace and I’m sick of being ignored by the council about it.

“I have to walk here twice a day, every day and it gets worse and worse by the day. There are dog poo bags on the fence and along the floor, flytipping at the end of the tunnel, the railway is full of rats and litter, the path is almost impossible to get past because of overgrowth and litter, the tunnel and outside each exit is littered, it’s full of graffiti and every time I get the council to fix the lights they get smashed again so it’s pointless. I’m sick of it.”

A spokesperson for Sefton

Council said: “The matters raised will be investigated and the necessary actions taken. Unfortunately some dog owners are not responsible and have no regard for their community and this includes leaving bags of dog fouling on the street or hung on fences.

“Enforcement action such as fixed penalties and possible court action can be taken against these dog owners as this is considered littering.

“Since July 2017, we have had a Public Space Protection Order across the borough which informs dog owners about certain rules which must be followed.” l For more information about these rules and to learn more about the Good Dog Code, visitwww.sefton.gov.uk/thegooddogcode.”

The Bootle and the Blitz Exhibition in Crosby Library

Anger over ‘Bootle Blitz’ exhibition taking place in... Crosby A WAR-themed exhibition about Bootle in the war has caused anger among locals... because it will take place not here in the town... but in Crosby.

The ‘Bootle and the Blitz Exhibition’ opened in Crosby Library on January 6 and will remain there until March 6 to give visitors a fascinating insight into the damage caused to Bootle in the World War Two blitz.

However, a number of Bootle residents have asked why the exhibition wasn’t setup at Bootle Library - as the exhibition is about their town.

One person who contacted the Champion was Tim Green, who lives in Bootle, and he said: “You think it would have made more sense if it was in Bootle Library, especially as the exhibition is actually entitled ‘Bootle and the Blitz’.

“I don’t know why this is. I’ll have to get a bus down to Crosby to see an exhibition about Bootle, which all seems a bit odd.”

Another person took to social media to complain about the choice of venue. He said: “I would assume that it is in Crosby Library and not Bootle Library because Crosby Library is a larger building.

“On the other hand it could have been presented in a vacant shop in The Strand where people could access it with ease.”

MOTORISTS have had to put up with more than a week of delays and congestion due to faulty traffic lights at a major junction in Thornton.

The traffic lights on Broom’s Cross Road stopped working last week and drivers complained of a “dangerous” situation where vehicles travelling on the road had to pass through traffic coming from Buckley Hill Lane and Brickwall Lane unaided.

As a temporary solution, Sefton Council installed temporary lights but it has led to heavy congestion, particularly during rush hour traffic.

It has led to surrounding roads in Thornton and Crosby, including Moor Lane and Lydiate Lane, becoming flooded with traffic as motorists look for alternative routes.

Some have complained that it takes up to an hour to travel from Formby to Liverpool and similar jour-

ney times going in the other direction from Bootle to Southport.

Local residents have been posting about their traffic misery on social media.

Naomi Roberts said: “Does anyone know why it takes more than a week to repair traffic lights?

“You would think it might be high on the list of priorities considering how busy that junction is.

“Took me 20 minutes to get from one end of Broom’s Cross Road to the other today.”

The temporary lights were still in place on Monday, January 20, with the council releasing an update to say Scottish Power had so far failed to repair the lights.

Sefton Council released a statement on Monday which read: “At present, Scottish Power have yet to confirm that their intermittent fault has been repaired.

“Until such times that it is, we will have to leave the temporary signals in place for safety reasons.

“Apologies for any inconvenience.”

FC fan gets his Fundraiser to get Mia Everton football ban overturned a prosthetic finger than to have a hand like everybody else.”

The Lock & Quay Community Pub, on Irlam Road, has organised a fundraiser on Saturday, February 1 to help towards the cause.

During the event, which will be held from 4-8pm, there will be live music, a raffle and games.

Owners of the community pub, SAFE Regeneration, decided to get involved because Mia’s family have been supportive of the pub ever since it opened in 2017.

Jane Dawe, the community partnerships manager at SAFE Regeneration, said: “Mia is a gorgeous little girl who loves to dance and dress up - she's a real ball of energy!

Mia and her mum Amy, dad Ben and brother Max are a big part of our community hub family based at the Lock & Quay, “They are a lovely family who all support the pub at every event, whether it’s Amy making her most amazing cakes, Mia taking to the dance floor or all the family helping to decorate the pub and spend their special occasions with us!

“The Lock & Quay is raising funds to get Mia her prosthetic finger and has a really fabulous afternoon planned with Xander & The Peace Pirates playing at 4.30pm, as

Report by Tom Martin A YOUNG girl from Bootle who was born with a hand condition needs £1,500 to get a prosphetic finger.

Mia Jordan, who is six years old, has a form of radial club hand, meaning she has four fingers on her hand and no thumb.

The youngster will soon have surgery when her index finger will be used to create a thumb, which will leave her with only three fingers.

A fundraiser has been launched to raise £1,500 which will pay for a prosthetic finger – finally giving her the full set of fingers and thumbs!

Mia’s mum Amy said: “Mia has always acted and felt like a princess and believes every girl on the planet is a princess, so she was devastated when some children pointed out she cannot be a princess, because ‘princesses don't look like she does’.

“We always reassure her this isn’t true but it really bothers her being so different.

The NHS has been wonderful but they don’t supply prosthetics that don’t have any purpose. Mia wants nothing more

AN EVERTON fan who was banned from football stadiums after he was found guilty of shouting “offensive comments” before the Merseyside derby has had the ban lifted after a successful appeal.

The Champion reported how James O’Brien, 21, of St Domingo Road, was arrested before Liverpool hosted rivals Everton at Anfield on December 2 in 2018 after he was allegedly “heard shouting offensive comments”.

He was then found guilty of a public order offence at South Sefton Magistrates Court on Wednesday, September 18 last year and was handed a three-year football ban as well a £850 fine.

Pupils draw Blues players for mental health project CREATIVE pupils from a Bootle school got a chance to meet and draw Everton players – and their pictures were put on the big screen at Goodison Park!

Year 4 children from Linacre Primary School visited Finch Farm training ground where they met some of the Blues stars and then took part in a drawing session.

During the event the Linacre pupils were surprised by first team players Fabian Delph, Theo Walcott, Seamus Coleman and Jonas Lossl who came to sit for their portraits in person.

The players then tried their hand at their own drawings before taking part in a Q&A with the children on topics including acceptance, selfesteem, diversity and respect.

The player portraits were then shown on a screen at Everton’s stadium when they played Newcastle on Tuesday, January 21, and the children got to see it first hand after they were given tickets to the Premier League clash.

The pictures replaced the usual in-match player graphics when the team and substitutes are announced to the crowd.

The idea of the project was to raise awareness of the importance of positive mental health among young people.

The activity is part of USM’s Unlock The Potential campaign and in support of Everton in the Community’s award-winning Tackling the Blues programme.

Michael Salla, director of health and sport at Everton in the community said: “In England, between 9 and 13% of 5-15-year-olds reported having a mental health disorder, with older young people reporting higher rates of mental illness. Suicide is the biggest killer of schoolchildren each year, with 200 on average taking their own lives.

John Rourke, who was the head at All Saints Primary School, formerly known as St James’, recently passed away and his funeral was held last Friday (January 17).

Mr Rourke was an Everton fan and his love of football saw him become the Secretary of Bootle and District Football Association.

Carragher, who began his footballing journey at St James’ and became one of Liverpool’s best ever defenders, posted on social media: “RIP Mr Rourke. The best headmaster any kid who went to St James’ on Marsh Lane could ever wish for.

A huge influence on me and all his pupils, plus schools football in Bootle and Sefton. A huge Evertonian and a giant of a man.”

Others also shared their tributes online, with one saying: “A wonder-

Another person posted: “I was at St James when he was the headmaster. He was a lovely man.”

A statement from All Saints Primary School read: “It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of John Rourke, former headteacher of St James' Catholic Primary and Secretary of Bootle and District Football Association.”

young people with tools and strategies that they can use as they get older to maintain good mental and physical health.

“It is also about removing stigma around mental health and making it clear that it is important to talk about mental health at any age, to ask for help and support when you need it, and ensuring that young people know where to find that support. The player portraits are a great way of sharing that message.”

Linacre Primary School is one of a number of schools participating in Tackling the Blues, which aims to teach young people strategies for good mental and physical health, promote emotional literacy and improve self-esteem and confidence.

The programme has engaged with more than 850 young people aged six to 16-yearsold in the last three years.

TWO charities in Bootle devoted to supporting women will team up to launch a counselling service.

Swan Women’s Centre, on Bridge Road, will partner with Sefton Women’s and Children’s Aid, on Knowsley Road, to develop a counselling service that is aimed at supporting women who have experienced domestic abuse and live locally.

It has been made possible after Swan Women’s Centre received a grant of £8,634 from the Community Foundation for Merseyside through its Merseyside Women’s Fund.

The fund has previously helped women and girls from across Merseyside that are experiencing issues such as period poverty, domestic and sexual abuse, social isolation and mental health issues.

Andrew Burdett, of Queens Road, Bootle, appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court on January 15 where he pleaded guilty to possession of a knife blade/ shape pointed article in a public place.

Natalie Cassidy, prosecuting, said that police were investigating an unrelated matter on Hawthorne Road in Bootle at 5.45pm on May 19 when Burdett went past sitting on the handlebars of a friend’s bike.

Believing that he may have had some involvement with the unrelated matter, an officer went to speak to him but he jumped off the bike and ran off Ms Cassidy said that following a police chase he was detained, however, when he was found in possession of a Stanley knife, with the blade “in a locked position”, and a snap bag of cannabis.

Solicitor Mark Phillips said in mitigation that Burdett had ran from police because of the cannabis and not because of the blade.

Report by Tom Martin PLANS to build 28 houses on the site of a former tower block in Bootle have been given a green light by Sefton Council.

The local authority has approved a proposal by One Vision Housing (OVH) to carry out the development on a piece of land off Capricorn Way. The site has been vacant since the Mersey House tower block, along with 26 terraced houses, were demolished in 2016.

A report published last week by the council states: “The proposal for 28 affordable dwellings is acceptable in terms of principle and in design terms and it is not considered to have any detrimental impacts on residential amenity or highway safety.”

The applicant states in the planning application that the site is in a poor condition, and prone to fly tipping.

One resident who lives near the site said: “They have left it since Mersey House was knocked down.

They are the people who have caused it to be a dumping site and now they want to build 28 houses there. They say that it will have a positive effect on the surrounding area but it depends on what type of people are going to live there.”

OVH say the site is designated as a ‘Primarily Residential Area’ in Sefton Council’s Adopted Local Plan and there is also good access to the public transport network and local services, including a choice of retail, sport, leisure, health and educational facilities.

A public consultation event took place with the local community in August at the Brunswick Community Centre where concerns were raised about parking and possible disruption during construction.

OVH claimed in their planning application that “the comprehensive redevelopment of a vacant brownfield plot into a high quality mixed residential scheme will have a positive impact on the character and setting of the area.”

How the site looks at the moment

He said he had been cutting up boxes in his room to make space when he gota call from a friend. He put the knife in his pocket and forgot about it.

Mr Phillps said that Burdett may have had a defence of “reasonable excuse” but that he did not want to have to go through a trial.

Emphasising Burdett’s previous good character, and that he had no intention of using the knife to cause harm, the solicitor added: “He does not go around wearing black and causing problems. He has ambitions. He is studying at college and hopes to go to university to study something connected to law.”

Following a probation report the magistrates sentenced him to 16 weeks custody “because of the serious nature of the offence” but because of his previous good character they suspended it for 12 months.

They also imposed 150 hours of unpaid work and told him to pay £200 in costs and victim surcharge.

Chair of the bench Denise Bulmer said they were giving him the "benefit of the doubt" and wished him well with his studies.

Appeal launched after man hit by car A MAN needed hospital treatment after he was struck by a car during rush hour traffic in Bootle.

Emergency services were called to Stanley Road, in Bootle, at around 5pm on Wednesday, January 15, following reports a pedestrian had been hit by a vehicle.

It is believed that the man, aged in his 60s, was hit by a Ford Focus Zetec and suffered multiple serious injuries, but none were lifethreatening.

A number of road closures were put in place and the man was taken to hospital by paramedics for treatment.

The Vivienne performs at UK’s first DragCon event

The driver of the car stopped at the scene.

A spokesperson for Merseyside Police said: “Officers from their Roads Policing Unit are appealing for witnesses following a serious RTC in Bootle.

“At 4.50pm, we were called to Merton Road to a collision involving a Ford Focus Zetec and a male pedestrian in his 60s.

“The pedestrian was taken to hospital with serious but non life-threatening injuries. The driver stopped at the scene to assist us with enquiries.”

If anyone has any information, they can contact @MerPolCC or 101 with reference 680.

CHAPEL GALLERY

Report by Tom Martin A DRAG queen from Bootle was one of the headline acts at the first ever ‘DragCon’ event held in the UK. The Vivienne, 27, whose real name is James Williams, was one of the main acts at the conference-type event, which allowed fans to see performances from drag queens who have appeared on RuPaul’s Drag Race.

RuPaul’s Drag Race has been a huge hit in America ever since it was launched in 2009, but it only appeared in the UK last year on BBC Three, when it was won by The Vivienne.

DragCon has been held in Los Angeles since 2015 and in New York since 2017, but took place last weekend at Olympia London.

The Vivienne said of DragCon UK: “Drag Race is now owned by the UK, it's ours now, sorry USA! And all of us Queens have had the most fun at DragCon UK celebrating and showing off what the Brits can do.

It’s a complete joy to be able to give thanks back to the amazing fans for their support, and there couldn’t be a better way to do it then at DragCon UK.” The Vivienne was crowned the winner RuPaul’s Drag Race in November last year.

The series began with ten contestants

from different backgrounds, regions and ages, who all competed on weekly episodes when they took on different challenges, including singing and dancing.

The Vivienne was chosen by head judge and drag icon RuPaul Charles, who was helped make the decision by celebrity judges Michelle Visage, Alan Carr and Graham Norton.

Explaining the reason behind choosing The Vivienne as her name, she said: “I love Vivienne Westwood and when I moved to Liverpool everyone used to call me Vivienne as I was head to toe in Westwood.

“When I started doing drag, it was a nat-

ural progression, but I didn’t want one of those cheap, nasty drag names so I thought of ‘The Vivienne’ and here she is.”

Despite the success of last weekend’s DragCon UK, there was some controversy surrounding the event after fans complained that queues to get into the venue were so long they didn’t get a chance to see the event.

Some ticket holders reported queuing for hours on Saturday (January 18), only to be told by security staff that they would not be allowed inside the venue.

Organisers tweeted to say queues were slowed due to health and safety concerns.

So on October 24 last year he climbed over a boundary fence and was not seen again by the authorities for two months when he was then spotted in Hey Amigo’s bar in Southport in the early Adam Blowes hours of December 22.

Martin Mere news

Education at the Heart of Martin Mere As an environmental charity, education is one of the Wildfowl and Wetland Trust’s core activities. At Martin Mere, we see more than ten thousand pupils visit us on school trips every year. Many of our activities and courses are specifically designed to meet science and geography curriculum targets. Last year, we were delighted that 100% of teachers surveyed said they would recommend a school visit to Martin Mere.

Our core courses cover adaption, food chains, the life of birds, plants, minibeast habitats, mammals and the water cycle. The new Pond Zone has also been a great success, with school children finding an exciting range of wetland creatures in our new ponds and then studying them on TV via a microscope link.

Our new Earthwalk session is perfect for teachers and children who want to explore their relationship with the natural world beyond school science. Through a sequence of activities, children will discover a rainbow in a leaf, the shape of birdsong, the scents of the woodland in your very own mixture, and more. The Martin Mere Wetland Centre comes alive during this session!

Finally, starting this autumn, our fourth new course is a dynamic session explaining the mysteries of seeds and soil, which are so important to all life on Earth.

With concern gathering momentum for aquatic environments, especially amongst schoolchildren, we have also now developed four exciting new sessions for primary schools.

Our busiest season for schools is between June and July, so it is best to book well in advance. However, there is plenty to see and do in all months of the year and, for some, even a winter visit is the best, as children can experience the Icelandic Whooper Swan feeds which are recognised as being one of the best wildlife watching experiences in the UK.

As well as our twelve sessions that cover core areas of the Primary School Curriculum, we have now introduced two sessions about Climate Change and Plastic Pollution, which explain these global issues and suggest little things we can all do to help.

We are committed to ensuring that all our local children receive a fantastic learning experience when they visit Martin Mere and also always welcome input from educators. So, please get in touch with us on 01704 891244 to either book a visit or give us your ideas.

Labour MP backs new report on dementia spending Charity wants government election funding to be focused on ‘critical areas’ of support Report by Tom Martin BOOTLE MP Peter Dowd has backed a new report from Alzheimer’s Research UK which outlines how can government funds “rapidly accelerate” lifechanging treatment for dementia.

The national charity wants the government’s election funding pledge, which they called ‘Dementia Moonshot’, to be focused on ‘critical areas’ of support.

This includes a £20m investment over five years into a global early detection initiative, which will help to detect the diseases that cause dementia 10-15 years earlier.

The charity also wants to establish a ‘Dementia Translational Medicines Accelerator’, a fund dedicated to testing the promise of drugs in very early clinical trials for dementia.

Mr Dowd said: “Dementia affects 1,176 people in my constituency and I know just how devastating dementia can be for families.

“Alzheimer ’s Research UK has launched an ambitious spending

Bootle MP Peter Dowd

plan in response to the government’s election ‘Dementia Moonshot’ funding pledge to find a cure for dementia. Finding new treatments means investing in key areas which have historically received little or no government funding.

“Government must take note of this report and ensure that funding is channelled into these areas of unmet need. We must hold the government to account to

ensure they deliver on their manifesto promise.”

Alzheimer ’s Research UK says that dementia is the “biggest healthcare crisis of our time” and the nation’s biggest killer.

By 2021, over one million people in the UK will be living with dementia, and the condition will cost the UK economy a staggering £30billion each year.

Samantha Benham-Hermetz, director of policy and public affairs at Alzheimer's Research UK, said: “The Prime Minister has rightly described dementia as the ‘next great frontier’, and recognised that the UK should be a global leader in the search for a life-changing treatment. We are encouraged by the government’s commitment to increase funding for dementia research, and it’s now time to put that commitment into action.

“There are no shortcuts to lifechanging treatments.

An increased and sustained research investment is the only way to bring about new treatments sooner and give hope to the millions of people affected by dementia up and down the country. This report should be a clear blueprint for investment that will deliver the breakthroughs we so urgently need.”

Liz Seville

Care home worker to run London Marathon for Alzheimer’s Research UK every day. I couldn’t be more privileged to run for residents past and present who have made a huge impact on my life. This is my way of saying thank you for making a difference in my life I want to help make a difference in yours.”

Although Liz has taken part in runs for charity, this will be her first ever marathon.

She added: “I have previously taken part in small runs for charity, but this is the bucket list run that I have always wanted to do. I also want to challenge myself so I know even at 50 years of age I can still do it.

“I am training every week with the virgin London marathon training plan. I am very nervous but also very excited. I think I will have a big wave of emotion when I cross that finish line.

“This one is for all the people I have seen who has the condition.”

Report by Tom Martin A CARE home worker from Bootle will run the London Marathon after she became inspired to fundraise for people living with dementia.

Through her work as an activities co-ordinator for Cedars Care Group, in Southport, Liz Seville, 50, has first hand experience on how the condition impacts on the lives of local residents and their families.

She will take on her first ever marathon in London on Sunday, April 26, knowing that she could raise £2,000 for Alzheimer’s Research UK. Liz said: “The charity is a big passion of mine because I work with dementia and Alzheimer's

The Right Reverend Tom Williams

Auxiliary Bishop to be given freedom of city THE Auxiliary Bishop of Liverpool, who once served as a priest in a Netherton church, has been nominated to receive Liverpool’s highest civic honour.

The Right Reverend Tom Williams, who has served in the city for almost half a century, is set to receive Freedom of the City of Liverpool.

Heartless conman targeted elderly in their homes Report by Tom Martin

A HEARTLESS burglar who pretended to be a workman to gain access into elderly people’s homes to steal money and jewellery has been jailed.

Antonio Hall, 53, of Longmoor Lane, in Fazakerley, carried out a spate of ‘distraction burglaries’ across Merseyside, including one incident on Runnells Lane, in Thornton, on April 23.

He pleaded guilty to seven counts of burglary at Liverpool Crown Court on Thursday, January 16 and sentenced to eight years in prison.

Between April and August last year, he targeted elderly people by pretending to be a workman or gardener to gain access into the homes.

After tricking his way inside their home, he would steal money and jewellery.

Detective Sergeant John Fitzgerald, from Operation Castle said: “Hall is a prolific burglar who targeted elderly, vulnerable victims, and I’m sure it is a huge relief for those victims to see him sent to Antonio Hall. prison for a considerable amount of time.

“He had no regard for the lives he affected, and abused the trust of those individuals by creating lies to allow him to gain access to their homes.

“Through Operation Castle, our force-wide response to burglary, we have seen significant success in identifying, charging and bringing to justice burglars across Merseyside and we want this work to continue supported by the local community, so we can carry out positive action and identify those responsible.”

One of Hall’s victims was a 95 year old World War Two veteran who served at D-Day and Operation Market Garden, who said: “I am very proud of the service that I have given to my country.

“I trusted the people who came into my house, I had no reason not to. I have been asked how the incident has affected me.

“I’m not sure how I’m meant to feel. I truly believe that the actions of those men, who came into my home on that day, were disgraceful.

“They knew exactly what they were doing, one kept me talking whilst the other stole the money, and they knew where to look for it. It may not seem like a lot of money to some people but it was money that we had saved up.

“Due to my restricted mobility I’m not able to leave my bungalow very often but my wife is still active and gets out as much as she can.

“Since the incident I have been very nervous, especially when I’m left alone. I had a ring doorbell fitted following the burglary.

“I feel much safer because if the bell goes, either at the front or back, my family can check to see who it is. I can’t fault the police one bit, they have been fantastic with my wife and I, and I want the court to know how good they’ve been.”

lience Grant and groups can apply for grants up to £2,000.

The last grant focused on bringing people together over healthy food when Bootlebased charity YKids received one of these grants and was able to offer Family Time, which saw children learning life skills as they cooked food with help from their parents, ending with everyone sitting down to enjoy the meal.

Galloway’s Society for the

Blind in Southport received a previous grant and ran tailored ‘Get Active with Art’ classes for visually-impaired people.

Individuals, with help from a Living Well partner, can apply for a £500 grant.

Put residents before profit

Dog owners who don’t bag poo should be named and shamed

In response to a letter ‘Port was there before residents’ from ‘Disappointed of Thornton.’

Seaforth Dock was opened in 1971 with Peel Ports’ Liverpool2 expansion opening in 2016.

This certainly wasn’t “long before the current residents.”

So perhaps rather than criticising those residents that have the cheek to complain about 24 hour noise and air pollution from the docks, perhaps Peel Ports should take on some of your advice and ‘learn to live with the activities around you?’

The residents were certainly there first.

Peel Ports should learn to live with them, not ride roughshod over their health and wellbeing in the name of profit.

As a resident of Maghull I would like to highlight the current plague which, is making life unbearable for us.

Dog walkers allow their pets to foul paths and grass areas near Dawson Gardens with no attempt to bag it and take it home with them.

It makes me furious that these ignorant offenders would not allow dog muck on their own doorsteps.

The council has an order in place but it is almost impossible to enforce.

I find it sad that we now live in a society where we have laws to tell people to behave in a more considerate and responsible manner.

The mentality of these people when confronted is to take offence at being asked to clean up after their pooches.

These ‘we don’t care’ individuals need to be named and shamed.

Why should myself and my fellow residents suffer this

Even more disappointed of Crosby, By email

intolerable behaviour?

It is anti social and it is unfair.

Certain individuals are actually taking time to bag the poop but, then throw the bag on to the floor!

I watched one particular repeat offender with two dogs drag one of his dogs along while allowing it to leave a trail of dog poop along the walkway.

I have now asked for signs to be erected.

Allowing a dog to foul is a disgrace and downright lazy.

I shall be filming these individuals, and might bag their poop myself, then follow them home and empty the contents on their pathway!

Yeah, extreme measures but, that’s unfortunately what we have been forced into.

J Mackie, Maghull

A lament for the victims of Australia’s bush fires

picture of the week picture of the week picture of the week

Animals in the Australian bush don’t live in towns, or cities, They don’t organise or live their lives like us.

Create religions, fire guided missiles or send armies to war, or vote for a political party, divide families, or blame one another for their inner pain.

Animals have a soul, one billion souls have left the earth, When was the last time one billion souls left the earth through fire?

Had it been a human departure do you think we might have stopped arguing over climate change, politics, religion, family values, gun and knife crime?

Images of the devastation sprawled over our TV screens Homes, dust and rubble, despair all around, Suffering animals trapped in burning bushes, others climbing trees already set ablaze, Heads, face and fur, paws and feet bandaged, others doused in scalding water from the scorching heat, arms outstretched for drink.

pic

of the week

Animals have a soul you can see it in their eyes, how can any human eye evade our planet’s plight today The pettiness and created division, The hatred and fear we choose to deny.

Look into your own heart, whatever makes you think you are right and someone else is wrong

This atmospheric photo of Kirk Road in Bootle at sunset was sent to us by Graham Jones. If you have a photograph you would like to submit for our Picture of the Week email editorial@champnews.com and include your name, the area where you live and a brief description..

There is no hierarchy when it comes to souls, We are in this together.

We are here learning to love, to serve the people and voiceless animals.

There is only one earth.

Sefton Council are happy for a pensioner to be fined for dropping a receipt but don’t clean the streets!

I was just reading an article about a pensioner who accidentally dropped a receipt out of her pocket and was fined £50.

I was shocked by Sefton Council’s comments, especially the phrase “cleanliness of our local environment is important to us and littering is an issue we take very seriously.”

Are they joking? Has this spokesperson been in the area at all?

It is full of litter - teenagers are littering all the time and the streets look absolutely disgusting.

And Sefton Council is not even bothered about it!

AS, By email

Re: Article on pensioner fined £50 for accidentally dropping litter.

I read with amazement that Sefton Council are pursuing this incident of a pensioner allegedly dropping litter.

I have contacted the council on a number of occasions regarding the litter in Waterloo, especially on Church Road and Brighton Road which is appalling and never seems to get addressed.

The litter outside the post office on Brighton Road is disgraceful.

I was told that this was not a prior-

ity and picking up the leaves from trees was.

Why are the streets not being cleaned?

I understand that we all have a responsibility to ensure that litter is disposed of in the correct way.

However, there are many who do not care or respect their environment and it seems those of us who do are just left to put up with dirty uncleaned streets.

A Worrall, Waterloo,

I read with total disbelief at the outrageous article in the Champion of the pensioner who was fined £50 for dropping a receipt in the road by a ‘passing’ traffic warden.

Further reading in the same edition was a letter with concerns of debris littering the roads at Switch Island which is an eyesore.

How can Sefton Council justify fining this poor woman and state that the cleanliness of our local environment is important to them

when our streets are littered with all sorts of rubbish, dirt and leaves that the council fail to clean up any more?

Take some pride in our community Sefton Council, and get the road sweepers back on the job.

I wonder if this lady had dropped a £20 note would the warden have picked it up and handed it back to her!

Disgruntled council tax payer, Crosby

The clock tower building of Merchant Taylors’ School, on Liverpool Road.

School to mark its 400th anniversary Report by Tom Martin MERCHANT Taylors’ School will mark its 400th anniversary this year with a series of events planned to celebrate the occasion.

The Crosby private school was founded in 1620

by John Harrison, a Merchant Taylor of London, was initially set-up exclusively for boys, but in later years a girls’ school was created in the original building and the boys relocated to the clock tower building on Liverpool Road.

Both sites are Grade II* listed and the 1620 school house is Crosby’s oldest surviving building, while Stanfield Primary School occupies an additional space between the two senior schools.

A series of major events is planned for the coming year, including a service of celebration at Liverpool Anglican Cathedral, a gala dinner for

The Prince of Wales Hotel Lord Street, Southport.

3pm-6pm

former pupils at Merchant Taylors’ Hall in London and a glittering ball at the boys’ school in June.

Beverley Bell CBE, chair of governors at Merchant Taylors’ School, said: “We are immensely proud of our history and we are excited to come together with pupils, parents and staff, both past and present, to celebrate this incredible landmark.

“There will be a wide range of opportunities for the whole school community to mark the anniversary across areas such as sport, drama, music or the combined cadet force – all elements of the rich Merchant Taylors’ tapestry that make our school so very special.

“This year is also about showcasing the achievements of our children in 2020 and looking ahead to the future.

“Our best days lie ahead of us and we will use this year to embrace the opportunities and challenges that the next 400 years may bring.”

Our valuers will be on hand to discuss your antiques, jewellery and collectables, and provide you with a free auction estimate for items you wish to sell.

No appointments are necessary and our team will be available to advise you on all aspects of buying and selling at auction. Smaller items can be consigned at the event, or you can discuss consigning at a later date.

Police make record number of 'drug drive arrests' in UK MERSEYSIDE Police has become the first force in England, Wales and Scotland to record more than 2,000 ‘drug drive arrests’ in a calendar year.

Figures released on Wednesday, January 15 show how the Force recorded a total of 2,201 arrests in 2019, which is an increase of 19% from 1,630 in 2018.

1,105 of these arrests were for the use of cannabis; 653 for use of cocaine; 213 for both cannabis and cocaine; and a small number for people who took other drugs or failed to provide a specimen.

There was also an increase in drink driving arrests recorded in Merseyside in 2019, a total of 1,383 (an increase of 8% from 1,278 in 2018).

Paul Mountford, Casualty Reduction Officer with our Safer Roads Unit said: "These figures highlight the proactivity of our officers in detecting drink and drug drivers, and should act as a real deterrent to anyone considering taking such reckless and unnecessary risks.”

Through the year, those arrested have included people working in the building industry, taxi and coach driver and food and goods delivery.

Classic car enthusiasts donate £800 to animal centre

Birmingham shows way with plan to ban cars from city centre I suppose Andy Burnham, the energetic Metro Mayor of Manchester, will be well pleased that Northern looks likely to be stripped of its franchise.

If he has his way it will effectively be run for the time being from Westminster, but I reckon that if he expects all our rail troubles - and Northern most certainly has its share of those - to miraculously be over he is in for a grave disappointment.

Yes, Northern’s management must shoulder some of the blame for late running, or not running trains, but Burnham overlooks two of the main causes of Northern’s downfall.

Late delivery of new trains (software problems apparently!) mean crew training on them has fallen late, while the electrification of the Manchester to Blackpool line was even later than the trains, together the scrapping of a promised extra platform at busy Manchester Piccadilly, has meant the shiny new kit which was available couldn’t be used as intended.

Meanwhile, the redoubtable Mr Burnham wants TransPennine Express to lose its franchise too.

But the same reasons, late delivery of new trains and failure to extend electrified lines (neither of which problems can be laid at TPE’s door) seem to have escaped Mr Burnham’s attention.

While I’m on my local transport hobbyhorse, Birmingham seems to be showing us northerners the better way forward.

There, the emphasis is not on dastardly rail operators, but on banning private cars from the city centre, improving and extending its tram network and providing a better bus service - all with the twin objectives of keeping the local population moving while dramatically cutting its carbon footprint.

Incidentally, I happened upon a radio programme the other day on just this subject. And one interesting fact that emerged was that for the present - and the near future - the present rush for electric cars may, in fact, be somewhat premature.

One expert pointed out, while not condemning electric vehicles outright, that the process of producing batteries for them, plus the transport of materials and finished products, meant that for the present, electric cars are ultimately more polluting than those with infernal combustion engines.

I must confess that I am coming round to the idea of electric vehicles, but one of their attractions, as a driver or passenger, their relative silence, is also the one that as a pedestrian, worries me about them.

It is amazing really how much we depend on our sense of hearing to get around our modern world safely.

And yes, I too have heard that consideration is now being given to making these otherwise silent cars (and I suppose buses and eventually lorries too) produce some kind of ‘noise’ as they glide along.

I wonder what ‘noises’ are under consideration?

Perhaps an angry grrr kind of noise? Or just a sort of genetic brum, brum? Or why not take a page out of the ice-cream van’s merry jingles?

I know. Why not employ a man (or woman) to walk in front of the vehicle carrying a red flag?

Better still, the flag-waving person could jog along in front, so not only speeding the traffic up a bit, but also helping the flag-waver’s keep-fit programme.

Incidentally, going back to the Manchester Metro Mayor ’s ideas (and giving praise where praise is due for the expansion - ahead of schedule - of its excellent Metrolink tram network) he is one of several such civic leaders who advocates a Londonstyle bus operation but forget the cost of this to Londoners.

And London is the only area of the UK where bus use has risen significantly in the last ten years, as everywhere else they have fallen dramatically.

Stick to trams, Andy - your trams work, most of your other transport solutions are doomed to disappointment.

CARLA Lane Animals in Need has been given an £800 boost by members of West Lancashire MG Owners Club (WLMGOC).

The animal rescue, which is based on Spurriers Lane, Melling, was the car club’s chosen charity of 2019 and the money was the result of various fundraising events held last year.

Carla Lane Animals in Need. houses up to 50 dogs at a time along with many cats, rabbits and other domestic pets in urgent need of a new home.

West Lancashire MG Owners meet on the third Tuesday of the month at Briars Hall Hotel, Lathom, at 8 pm.

Merseyrail named most punctual rail operator in country for second year

Fancy a coffee - for charity?

ANYONE who fancies enjoying a coffee and biscuits for a good cause is being urged to attend one of the Mayor of Sefton’s fundraisers, which are held monthly.

They take place at the Mayor’s Parlour at Southport Town Hall at 10.30am on the first Wednesday of each month to raise funds for the Mayor of Sefton’s Charity Fund.

Lynn Poole, event organiser, said: “You can come along and enjoy great company for a great cause. Entry is £1.50 includeing coffee and biscuits.

“We raise funds for the charity and application forms are available at the coffee mornings for local charities and communities to apply to benefit from the charity funds. Come along on the day, there is no need to book ahead.”

Interview by Henry James MERSEYRAIL has been named as the most punctual rail operator in the country for the second year running – with 96.36% of its trains running on time.

It also achieved its best performing year ever in 2019 – with the oldest passenger fleet in the UK. Zoe Hands, operations director at Merseyrail, said: “Delivering a world class railway for the Liverpool City Region is our main goal at Merseyrail, and we are thrilled to have achieved this in 2019.

“These punctuality results cement the fact that Merseyrail is consistently one of the best performing rail operators in the country and I’m so glad we can put our region on the map when it comes to the best train services in Britain.

“Our passengers are at the heart of everything we do, and this is reflected in the results that we have gained despite some challenging conditions over the last 12 months.

“We would like to show our gratitude to Merseytravel and our service partners the British Transport Police, Stadler, Stadium and Carlisle who have worked with us to achieve this record breaking result.

“However, our special thanks has to go to Network Rail who have been the bedrock of our performance owing to their tireless efforts and success in improving infrastructure reliability this past year.

“We also have our new fleet of trains to look forward to, which I’m sure, in time, will take us to the next level of passenger experience.”

Cllr Liam Robinson, Liverpool City Region combined authority transport cabinet member, said: “At a time when some rail services in other areas of the country and region are so poor, it's great to see that the Merseyrail network is performing well, reinforcing the level of service that we work hard to achieve.

“It’s an exciting time for us, with the new fleet due to start arriving on our network later this year, further strengthening our commitment to provide a reliable service for Merseyrail passengers.”

Phil James, regional director for Network Rail’s North West route, said: “There is a lot of hard work taking place across the North West, with our train and freight operating partners, to identify areas of improvement that can

make a big difference to the reliability and resilience of the rail network. We’re trying to do more to give passengers the better service they deserve.

“I’m happy to see this hard work pay off in the Liverpool City Region, for Merseyrail passengers. I’m also very proud of our continued work with Merseytravel and Merseyrail on an extensive programme of work to bring new trains onto the network.”

Merseyrail has said the first of the new trains has arrived and they will begin several months of testing including both in the depot and out on the Merseyrail network. A spokesperson for Merseyrail said: “Once testing is complete, the trains are ready and staff are trained, they will be rolled out gradually.”

Jobcentres across Sefton will be given more support to help rough sleepers JOBCENTRES in Sefton will be doing more to help homeless people after the government released up to £3million to introduce a stronger support service.

The new funding will see Jobcentre staff across the UK joining outreach teams on the streets to speak to people sleeping rough, helping them to claim their benefits, find new work, secure stable accommodation and direct them to additional support.

Staff will be able to spend more time working with charities and other organisations to help people who are homeless, including those rough sleeping.

The funding will also be used to bolster projects Jobcentres are already working on with various organisations.

Jobcentre staff could also be stationed in charity run day centres to advise those who use those services, but have not yet visited a Jobcentre.

Minister for Welfare Delivery Will Quince said: “We are determined to help anyone experiencing homelessness, and if this means getting staff out of the Jobcentre to speak to people on the street directly then we will do that.

“There’s a huge amount of support available to help people who are homeless, but they often don’t know about the support they can access.

“So we’re going out and taking the help to them, through outreach programmes and closer working with homelessness charities.”

Report by Tom Martin The work will build on the support already available from Jobcentres for homeless people, such as helping to verify their ID to set up claims for benefits and signposting to drug, alcohol and other support services.

Luke Hall said: “As Minister for Homelessness, it’s my priority to ensure that we reduce all forms of homelessness and rough sleeping.

“And while our interventions are working there is still more to do.

Today ’s announcement will mean homeless people get the support they need to get back on their feet and find new work.”

The new funding, which will be delivered in 2020/2021, follows on from dedicated training given to hundreds of Jobcentre managers last year on how best to support homeless claimants.

It builds on the government’s introduction of the Homelessness Reduction Act in 2018.

This sees English local authorities, public services and charities working together to actively prevent homelessness for people at risk, irrespective of whether they are a family or single person, the reason why they have been put at risk or whether, or not, they have a local connection to the area.

Airport chiefs want to hear what residents think of UK airspace modernisation Report by Henry James

LIVERPOOL John Lennon Airport’s chiefs want to hear the views of residents in Sefton as part of a 12 week consultation over the modernisation of the UK’s airspace.

Changes could involve potential alterations to the routes taken by aircraft departing from and arriving at the airport.

The UK’s airspace is some of the most complex in the world, yet has not undergone significant change since the 1950s.

The Department for Transport and the Civil Aviation Authority plan to modernise UK airspace in order to deliver quicker and quieter journeys by air in and around the UK and accommodate future aviation growth.

This will involve redrawing flight paths.

As a consequence, airports across the UK will all be consulting with local communities and other airspace users about potential changes to their departure and arrival routes.

In a 12 week consultation that will last until noon on Thursday, April 9, Liverpool John Lennon Airport has set out various options to illustrate how the flight paths of aircraft operating to or from the airport might change in the future as part of this airspace modernisation.

The airport is keen that members of the public who live within areas that may

The event will take place at Liverpool Exhibition on Saturday, March 14 from 6.30pm and participants are invited to bring glow sticks to make it a colourful 4.5km walk.

Dementia is now the UK’s biggest

killer with someone developing it every three minutes, yet dementia research still trails far behind other health conditions after decades of underfunding.

Taking part in the Memory Walk will help Alzheimer’s Society improve care, fund research and create change for people affected by dementia.

THIS was a visually stunning performance throughout with sizzling chemistry shown between the two excellent leads, with Elena Svinko as Odette/Odile and Marcello Pelizzoni as Prince Siegfrid.

As well as unbelievably talented solo performances, a series of stunningly choreographed routines showing the leads falling in love were faultless. It felt like time stopped still for the final part of the first half, with the classically trained dancers all putting in unforgettable performances.

One scene that really stood out for me was the ‘mirroring’ scene when Prince Siegfried is performing a solo dance after meeting the beautiful Odette, who has been turned into a swan by her vengeful father.

Her father, keeping a watchful eye over the prince, performs the exact same dance behind him in a mirror image. The two dancers are facing opposite ways and yet still perform the identical sequences with perfect timings, making for an unforgettable moment.

The ballet honed in on the mirroring of the male and female parts – with the best performances dedicated not only to the relatively simple topic of the leads falling in love but the more intriguing dynamics between the Prince and his love’s evil, plotting father. Running parallel alongside this, was sweet, innocent Odette’s battle with the darker, evil side of herself as the sexually-charged Odile.

Swan Lake

The dances of the various maidens from distant lands competing for Prince Siegfried’s affections allowed the company, which hails from Krasnoyarsk, to branch out into different styles of dance and the eye-catching costumes from different countries added a memorable something ‘extra’ to the traditional ballet.

Tchaikovsky ’s score, once considered too complicated for ballet, was executed flawlessly by the live orchestra and there was a sweet moment when the prima ballerina brought musical director and chief conductor Anatoly Tchepurnoi on stage for applause at the end.

It is a long performance, reaching 2.5 hours minus the interval, but it is a tribute to the talented team that this time flies by and never feels rushed or dragged out, but is a beautiful demonstration of traditional ballet performed faultlessly.

CROSBY Symphony Orchestra’s next concert takes place at St Faith’s Church on the evening of Sunday, February 9.

The title Heroic, refers to two symphonies in the concert; Glazunov Symphony No. 5 and Beethoven Symphony No. 3.

The Glazunov was written in 1895 and is scored for a full Romantic orchestra.

It’s full of tuneful melodies and deserves to be as wellknown as the Classical, Eroica, Beethoven’s third symphony written at the beginning of the same century.

Directing the orchestra through the symphonies and Mozart’s Don Giovani Overture is popular Spanish born conductor Juan Ortuño.

AFTER the success of this season’s pantomime, Dick Whittington, at the Little Theatre, for their next production the S.D.C. move forward a few hundred years to the 1920’s and the hilarious world of P.G. Wodehouse’s immortal creations, Jeeves and Wooster’.

With three seasoned actors in Chris Smalley, Nathan Coleman and Rikki Spofforth playing the roles that some of Britain’s most celebrated comedians have filled over the years, this promises to be a comedy to suit all ages.

This “rip-roaring” comedy recently played in the West End at the West End’s Duke of York Theatre. It is based on The Code of the Woosters, which was published in 1938.

The brothers David and Robert Goodale wrote the play.

MatthewMacfadyen played Jeeves and Stephen Mangan was Bertie Wooster.

The show opened in November 2013 and ran until September of the following year. It has also toured all over the world, including Australia, New Zealand and America.

Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie played Jeeves and

Rehearsals for Jeeves and Wooster

Wooster respectively in the popular ITV comedy series at the start of the 1990s. The final series was also nominated for a British Academy Television Award for Best Drama Series.

In the show a tip-top trip to the countryside goes wrong for Bertie Wooster and his valet Jeeves in an evening of ‘perfect nonsense.’

Directed by Andrew Sloman, the show runs from Friday, January 24 to Saturday, February 1 at 7.30pm each evening. Tickets from the Box Office 01704 530521/530460 or book online atwww.littletheatresouthport.co.uk

You can do what I do - and like old cars too much!

THE price of being sensible starts at £114 a month. That’s roughly what you’ll pay at the moment for a lease deal on an entry-level five door family car with a delightfully revvy onelitre engine, a warranty that might as well outlast the universe and endless, unrelenting reliability.

Or you could do what I do, and like old cars too much. Occasionally this works a treat, because it

means that for a fraction of the £10,195 a showroom fresh Picanto costs you can have a whole fleet of cars that are faster, roomier and far more likely to attract knowing nods at car shows.

It also means that you’re doing your bit to preserve the nation’s heritage, and you’re saving the world’s resources by sparing a carmaker the bother of building a brand new one from scratch.

But it also means you’re worryingly likely to end

up in the conumdrum I did the other day, when the 21-year-old Toyota Avensis that I’d taken to a car show ended up above a small, rainbow-coloured lake when it decided to dump virtually all of its 10w/40 through a hairline crack in a split pipe running to its oil cooler.

One AA get-you-home repair later and it’s now facing a £400-plus bill to nurse it back to health – a bit depressing, when the car itself only cost a grand. Normally I’d just leave it at that and resort to the Volkswagen Polo MkII that I’ve been running around in over the last few months.

It’s even older, marking its 28th birthday this year, but with sweet handling, plenty of visibility and the ability to suckle 48 miles out of a gallon I’d happily recommend it as a commuting charity.

Except that it’s off the road too, at another garage, because it’s awaiting a new fuel tank.

Not to worry.

I can just drop the roof down on my Mazda MX5, which is still one of the most entertaining and beautifully balanced cars you can pick up for under £1500 and – crucially – is most definitely not broken.

It works a treat, but the problem with owning multiple cars is that invariable you have MoTs creeping up on you on multiple occasions throughout the year, and the Mazda’s is due next Wednesday.

So it might be working now, but chances are it won’t be in a few days’ time.

All of which leaves the Reliant Scimitar, which is working just fine but normally struggles to top 25 to the gallon on account of its three-litre Ford V6 – so spot on for sunny drives in the countryside, but not exactly ideal for daily commuting.

So, for someone who normally has four cars at his disposal, I’ve ended up doing the drive to work in a borrowed, J-registered Mitsubishi Galant.

Do I mind?

Not even slightly, because I love all of these old cars far more than I ever could an entry-level family car.

It’s just not remotely sensible, that’s all.

Ten-man Remyca stay bottom of the table after defeat Litherland Remyca 0 Whitchurch Alport 3 LITHERLAND Remyca remain bottom of the North West Counties Premier Division being without a fixture over the weekend following a defeat last Wednesday (January 15) to Whitchurch.

Litherland found it difficult to get out of the blocks and their opponents were extremely quick on the counter attack, in particular Ellis Jud who was prolific with his runs on the night.

Whitchurch were 1-0 up after seven minutes from an absolute rocket of a free kick from Alex Hughes which flew past Ben Morrow and into the top corner of the Remyca goal.

Kick off 3pm.

Maghull match postponed for fourth time in five games FOR the fourth time in the last scheduled five games Maghull’s West Cheshire First Division League game was postponed due to the pitch being unfit, this time at Capenhurst Villa last Saturday.

The Reserve team’s Second Division game home against bottom of the table Litherland Remyca was decided by a solitary strike from the player manager Mike Cummins

midway through the second half.

Maghull travel to the Prescot Soccer Centre on Saturday to play Rainhill Town in a First Division match which kicks off at 2pm.

The Reserves will entertain South Liverpool Reserves in the second round of the league’s Howarth and Gallagher Bowl competition. This match kicks off at 1.30pm

Unlucky 13 for Marine as unbeaten run ends Mossley 2 Marine 0

MARINE suffered their first league defeat in 13 matches after conceding a goal in either half, writes Ralph Rands.

With striker George Hassall unavailable, manager Neil Young restored Craig Lindfield to the starting eleven in the only change to the side which had prevailed at Widnes last week.

Playing down the pronounced Seel Park slope, the Mariners began brightly and for the opening quarter of the contest, carried the greater attacking threat.

An early Lindfield through-ball saw James Barrigan narrowly fail to toe the ball past home custodian Roberts, the Mossley defence recovering to clear.

James Joyce’s cross from the left touchline reached Steve Irwin, the midfielder's shot being deflected and bravely gathered

by Roberts to deny the onrushing Niall Cummins.

Midway through the half, Cummins and Irwin combined as the former’s well-

weighted pass allowed the latter to test Roberts, but the keeper was well positioned to save comfortably.

Mossley found their stride and came close a few minutes later, a bout of headtennis in the Marine box ending with exCurzon Ashton striker Brooke crashing a volley against the far post before the Marine rearguard cleared the ball to safety.

However the Lilywhites were not to be denied for long, and found the opening goal on 33 minutes.

A corner from the Mossley right was only half-cleared, and a simple ball back into the box saw Halfacre beat Germano Mendes to the punch as his header from 12 yards found the net, the Mossley man having been played onside by a blue-shirted Mariner who had been patrolling the far post.

The second period saw Marine on the front foot , and a corner from the right saw Irwin’s run to the near post and flicked header fly inches over the home crossbar.

As in the first half, Mossley began to assert in all areas, the experienced

O'Brien, Keogh, and Halfacre in particular dominating with their physicality as the game wore on.

Danny Shaw, James Ellison, and debutant Florian Yonsian were all introduced as the Mariners chased the game, and from Ellison's low centre Cummins' audacious back-heel was well-anticipated

by Roberts who saved low to his right.

Roberts once again showed exemplary handling as he fielded Irwin’s well-struck daisy cutter, before the game was up for the Mariners eight minutes from time.

A clinical attack from the home side saw a diagonal ball cushioned perfectly into the path of substitute Richardson who crashed the ball past Mendes from 20 yard to spark wild celebrations among the exuberant home support, a number of whom spilled onto the playing surface.

Time elapsed as Mossley recorded a thoroughly deserved victory to avenge their 60 mauling at the MTA in October.

The Mariners will look to bounce back on Saturday when they host Brighouse Town.

Bucks still in touch with leaders after match off BOOTLE will be hoping to return to action this weekend after their last two games at home to Northwich Victoria last Tuesday and their scheduled match at Hanley Town on Saturday were postponed due to waterlogged pitches.

Despite not managing to kick a ball over the weekend, the Bucks remain second in the division, just six points behind leaders 1874 Northwich after they were beaten by Charnock Richard who are third in the table.

Bootle make the trip to Shropshire to take on Whitchurch Alport this weekend. The hosts were beaten 2-1 by Longridge Town last Saturday and currently sit eighth in the league table.

Off the pitch, meanwhile,

the club has launched its first podcast in conjunction with the supporters’ club.

Hosted by Paul Osborne and Neil Blythe, the podcast will aim to cover all things Bootle with episode one featuring an interview with manager Joe Doran.

Hard work paying off as Firwood Waterloo achieve consistency on pitch to move up to third in table Vale of Lune 12 Firwood Waterloo 41 FIRWOOD Waterloo kept up their winning run with this comprehensive win at Vale of Lune, writes Harry Jones.

On a crisp day, ‘Loo opened the scoring as Chris Cunningham broke through the line to pass to Luke Clifford who touched down between the posts. Daragh O’Brien, who impressed last week against Douglas added the conversion.

‘Loo got a second try of the game to give themselves a 14-0 cushion when Gabe Davies managed to evade everyone running from 10 yards out to score with a second conversion of

the game also being scored.

The visitors then rounded off a dominant first half after Vale found themselves not being bound on the scrum so ‘Loo were awarded a penalty kick which was converted by Daragh O’Brien to make the half time score Vale of Lune 0 Waterloo 17.

‘Loo started strongly again in the second half, with Lee Ferrier scoring a try under the posts with the conversion again being added.

An altercation then broke out between the two sides. ‘Loo went down to 13 men after Ward and Cunningham were each shown a yellow card.

Vale capitalised on this from a lineout to score their first try of the game with a conversion.

Firwood Waterloo worked hard to contain

their hosts while down to 13 men, and when the pair returned from the sin bin they scored again. This time a penalty to make the score 734. ‘Loo then got their last try of the game through the impressive forward stalwart Liam Launders.

But there was still time for Vale to get an excellent try of their own after working the ball well down the wing. The home side pushed for a losing bonus point but the final score was Vale of Lune 12 Firwood Waterloo 41.

The result means that ‘Loo have won their last three away games in a row and more impressively ten out of their last 11 games.

This has seen them rise up to third place in the table, one point off Wilmslow in second (but

with a game in hand) and six off Burnage who are now top.

Coach Stuart Turner is delighted with the consistency shown by his side over the last few weeks.

He said: “We have been building all season to these levels of performance through hard work in training and delivering on the pitch.

“We can approach the last ten games of the season with real confidence. With just ten points separating first from sixth it is all to play for.”

Waterloo have a break next Saturday before returning to action in two weeks’ time at home to Birkenhead Park, when they will look to overturn the defeat at the Upper Park last October.
