PARKING PROBLEMS SOLVED...

Report by Tom Martin

A BOOTLE resident's delight that the council were planning to crack down on motorists leaving their cars outside her home quickly turned to anger when she found out the solution is to charge people living on the road £30 for a parking badge!

The woman, who did not want to be named, lives on Bedford Road and recently found out that Sefton Council planned to stop people leaving their cars on her street following complaints from those living in the area.

...but furious residents will pay the price of council crackdown!

The Champion has reported in the past how locals have hit out at visitors, students and staff at nearby Hugh Baird College for causing parking problems on residential streets.

In response, the local authority has introduced a residents-only parking scheme on Bedford Road - and people living there have to stump up £30 to sign up for the scheme.

And they say that if they don't pay the £30 fee, they run the risk of being handed

a fixed-penalty-charge notice from a traffic warden when they park their own vehicles in the road.

She said: “We've been living here for years so why should we suddenly have to pay £30 to park outside our own homes? It feels like we are being punished for other people parking on our road.

“It started happening about a year and a half ago with people coming to Hugh Baird but parking for free on the surrounding roads. Continued inside

Some of the volunteers from Bootle Action Group

Council to ‘shine light’ on £32m Strand takeover Report by Tom Martin SEFTON Council is due to meet today (Wednesday, January 31) to offer a closer examination of their controversial £32m takeover of the Strand Shopping Centre.

A special meeting of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee is scheduled to take place at Bootle Town Hall from 5pm when a report and presentation will be given to shine a light on the local authority ’s purchase of the shopping centre.

The deal, which was announced in May last year, was scrutinised by some councillors when details published on the council’s website showed how nearly £700,000 was spent on professional advisors.

It was also reported in The Times newspaper that the council bought the Strand through a company registered in Luxembourg, with claims that this allowed them to avoid paying £1.5m in stamp duty.

However, the council has always dismissed this claim of ‘tax avoidance’ and maintain the deal makes financial sense.

Today's meeting is described in a report as “aiming to balance the need for members to be assured that this significant acquisition represents value for

money and has been robustly appraised, against the need to protect the commercial nature of the transaction and the ongoing operation of the asset.”

The first half of the meeting is open to the public to attend and will cover the time-line of events leading up to the purchase, including the market offer, procurement of advisors, options considered and pre-bid diligence.

It will also cover the conclusion of negotiations and the acceptance of the bid and those in attendance will be told of any future 'Strategic Investment opportunities' planned by the council.

The second half of the meeting will then be held

in private and members of the public told to leave, due to plans to cover “confidential financial and commercially sensitive information relating to the purchase and operation of the Strand. There is a risk, says the council, that commercially sensitive information will be released into the public domain which could have an adverse impact on the financial position of the council.”

The decision to exclude members of the public from the second half of the meeting has been questioned by Southport councillor John Pugh.

The Lib Dem Group leader said: “There are two parts to this meeting, a public part and a private part, but councillors who attend the private part will be sworn to secrecy. It is perfectly possible that all the real details could be hidden in the private part with the public part being general waffle.

“Certainly the documents in the public domain tell us very little. We could end up with a situation where those that know can’t tell and those that can tell don’t know.

“This would be no way to explain the significant £32m punt on the retail property market made by the council on behalf of council tax payers.

“Sefton’s constitution states that there is a presumption of openness and it should not use the veil of commercial confidentiality to hide the true facts.

We do not want another secret chapter in this very dodgy story.”

Residents have to pay up to join new parking scheme From page 1 “We are stuck now because we have to pay it. If we don’t we will then be fined because we won't

Bedford Road

have a badge to show.”

A spokesperson for Sefton Council said: “This particular parking scheme is an extension of the exist-

ing zone around Queens Road and Bedford Road and was introduced following a positive response from a local consultation.

“It was also clear in the consultation that there would be a registration fee of £30 to join the scheme to help contribute to our administration costs.

“Any vehicles which are not part of the parking scheme and are caught parking illegally will receive fixed-penalty-charge notices.”

It's not the first time this month that parking in Bootle has been addressed by Sefton Council.

The Champion reported earlier

how tougher parking rules were introduced on roads around Bedford Primary School following complaints that “inconsiderate and dangerous” motorists are causing hazards by leaving their vehicles in restricted areas.

In response, Sefton Council brought in a new measure from January 2 which takes away the 'discretionary observation period' which is generally afforded to drivers before a penalty charge notice is then issued.

It means that a civil enforcement officer no longer has to wait five minutes before they can issue the fine.

Volunteer litter group in bid to raise £10k to help clean up the town BOOTLE Action Group wants to raise £10,000 to help their mission in ridding the town of litter.

The volunteers, who for two years have been litter picking and cleaning up grot spots across Bootle, want to raise the amount so they can carry on their important work and pick up even more rubbish!

Not just restricted to cleaning duties, the group also make the area greener by planting bulbs and last year they helped organise Bootle’s first ever outdoor Christmas event.

The £10,000 boost will also help them with a future project to spruce up Oxford Gardens, on Southport Road, and help restore old lampposts on the street.

Founder of Bootle Action Group, Michael Brennan, said: “In January 2016 I set up Bootle Action Group. I set the group up because I care about the community in which I live.

“Since its inception the group has gone from strength to strength and we are now a Community Interest Company registered on Companies House.

“We have a fantastic team of dedicated volunteers who meet on a regular basis to litter pick and clean up grot spots in our town.

Passionate “We are also passionate about the rich history and heritage of Bootle and are working to enhance and preserve this. In 2017 we organised Bootle’s first outdoor Christmas event.

“Although we can achieve a lot with our amazing volunteers, we also need funding to achieve our aims.

“In November 2017 we planted over 2,000 bulbs in Hillhead Gardens, which were all purchased by the local community. Without these donations of bulbs and money this would not have been possible.

“Please consider donating to our cause. Every penny we raise is injected back into the Bootle community and to help us with our aim. We know there are people who would love to, but are unable to volunteer, for a multitude of reasons.

“We want to spruce up Oxford Gardens on Southport Road and get the old lamp that’s there working again. We are also applying for other funds but this fundraising page is just something for locals and local businesses to give to.”

Horses ‘could have been killed’ after burglary at animal sanctuary Report by Tom Martin AN animal sanctuary manager says two rescue horses were lucky not to have been killed when they escaped onto a main road near Bootle and Netherton Fire Station in Thornton when burglars left a gate open after stealing a trailer.

Shy Lowen Horse and Pony Sanctuary founder Bernadette Langfield, have said it’s “very lucky” the horses were not hit by a car after they ran across Buckley Hill Lane.

Passing drivers saw the horses, called Thunder and Basil, on the side of the road near the fire station. and called the charity.

A taxi driver then stopped and managed to keep them calm in a field next to the fire station before charity volunteers arrived.

The two horses, who were extremely shaken due to the passing vehicles, were then led back to the sanctuary.

They were able to escape after burglars broke into the charity’s base on Monday, January 22 to steal a £4,000 trailer, used mainly to transport livestock.

They cut the lock of the first gate before getting through a second gate in order to gain access to the trailer, attached it to the back of their vehicle and then drove away.

The incident happened some time between 6.30pm and 8pm and Thunder and Basil then wandered through the two unlocked gates and onto the main road.

At around 10pm the trailer was found on the side of Liverpool Road, in Lydiate, and recovered for the charity.

Bernadette told the Champion: “Whoever did this put the lives of our horses at risk and it’s very lucky that they didn't get seriously injured. They crossed a busy road at night and if a driver had hit them it would have been really bad for the horses and also the driver.”

Shy Lowen takes in horses and ponies with an aim to rehabilitate and rehome them.

They have had the all black 12-year-old Thunder for three years while eight-year-old Basil, who is white with spots is looking for a new home.

Bernadette said: “The taxi driver stayed with them for about 15 minutes while our team made their way back there. He managed to keep them calm, even when a bus went past and gave them a fright.

“We managed to use headcollars, leads and a bucket of feed to bring them back. We then put an appeal on social media about the stolen trailer and we have 7,000 followers so we had a lot of responses from people who said they had seen it.

“Horse trailers aren’t that common around here but in rural areas trailer thefts happen quite a lot.

“Quite a lot of people then commented on Facebook saying they had seen it and apparently the car used was a large Volvo Estate which was a dark colour – possibly grey. One lady that we know actually saw a man pull up at the side of the road and got out to help him.

Thunder and Basil.

Founder of Shy Lowen Horse and Pony Sanctuary, Bernadette Langfield

“The trailer has an adapter which fits onto certain older cars but it must not have fitted properly onto his. He had pulled up and the lady got out and asked if he needed help – so she got a good description of him.

“Other people also told us they saw a trailer being driven towards Maghull. We got a call about two hours later to say it had been found at the side of Liverpool Road.

“Apparently people who steal vehicles will leave them at the side of the road for a few days to make sure they haven’t got a tracker on. If they are still there after a few days, they assume they don’t so they then take them.

“We think that has happened here, or he has changed his mind because it’s likely he had already been seen by a lot of people.

“It’s a horrible feeling that someone would break into a charity and steal something so expensive.

Everyone has been really down since it happened, but I keep telling them that for one person who did this, there were hundreds who wanted to help.”

Charity wants locals to step up A NATIONAL charity which has its head office in Bootle is urging Sefton residents to take 10,000 steps a day for autism.

Autism Initiatives Group is backing Walk for Autism 2018, which encourages people to take 10,000 steps a day for a total of eight days.

The hope is that £20,000 will be raised to help people with autism and their families.

It’s thought that over 1 in 100 people have some form of autism, which is a neurological condition and can mean a difference in the way a person thinks,

perceives and therefore understands the world and others.

This may result in difficulties or differences in communication, social interaction, thinking and in sensitivity of the senses.

But helping people with autism can make a difference. Mark, who works in a Southport café run by Autism Initiatives, said: “I was bullied because I was different and wouldn’t fit in. But when I came here everything changed.

I met new people who helped me with new tasks and I gained confidence. I’m happy now. It has changed my life.”

Andrew Grainger, chief executive of Autism Initiatives Group, added: “We probably all know someone with autism so we hope lots of people will get involved.”

Those who want to step up to the challenge will be joining others across the country, walking 10,000 steps a day for eight days to raise money that will aim to positively change lives for the better.

The eight days will be from March 26 – April 2, which is World Autism Awareness Week.

JAMES Bulger’s mum, Denise Fergus, appeared on ITV’s Loose Women programme to talk in harrowing detail about the death of her son.

It is 25 years since two-year-old James was abducted from the Strand Shopping Centre, in Bootle, and brutally murdered by Robert Thompson and Jon Venables.

Denise, who has published a new book called I Let Him Go about the horrific experience, was invited onto the panel of the popular daytime TV show to talk about it.

During the programme, she talks about the positive effect that her other three sons, Michael, Thomas, and Leon, had on her life.

She said on the show: “When James was taken I just wanted to be with him, but then I found out I was having Michael and if I wasn't having him I don't think I’d be here.

“I was a mum and I didn't have any kids, but when Michael was born I was a mum again. The memories that are poured into the book are all mine now to keep.

“It might be 25 years but it doesn’t feel like 25

years to me. I never got to see James grow up. He never got to know his first day at school, he didn’t get the chance to do that. I still see him as a baby, I can’t see him being a young man. It’s really weird.

“My other boys have grown up before my eyes. It’s amazing to see them. I love seeing that but there’s always that one missing.

“Writing the book everything has come back to me, all the lovely memories. I don’t go back to the day he went missing, I don’t want to go back there.

“The memories that are put into the book are mine to keep. Now they’re in paper and I can look at them anytime I want and I can see them memories for myself.”

Denise also revealed how she still feels James’ presence in her every day life.

She said: “Sometimes I would feel a tug on my nightdress when I was cleaning and would turn to see what Michael wanted and he wasn't there.”

Denise said she'd shout downstairs to find out that Michael was down there and she was alone upstairs, believing that it was actually James trying to get her attention.

Proposals put forward to turn former office building into flats

The former offices.

GOODYEAR FURNITURE CENTRE

Winter Sale

A FORMER office building in Bootle could be turned into flats under new plans.

A planning application submitted to Sefton Council to construct a three-storey extension to 239 Hawthorne Road and then turn it all into accommodation.

This is the second time the developer has come to the council with the plan, after it was initially rejected.

The planning application states: “The application site currently exists as a vacant former office building, which is in need of a degree of repair and upgrade.

“The proposed use is not at odds with other similar properties in the area, as the area is predominantly residential, with also a mix of commercial and retail uses, with the residential uses ranging from former large houses converted into flats, and terraced houses, and the adjoining property being a hotel.”

A PROTEST will be held by unions outside The Triad in Bootle to urge HMRC bosses to sanction pay rises for civil servants.

Taking place today (Wednesday, January 31) at lunch time from midday , members of the Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) will hold the demonstration outside the building.

It comes after the PCS claimed there have been losses in pay suffered by civil servants in the past few years across the UK. PCS general secretary Mark Serwotka, said: “The loss of £1.7billion pounds across the UK wide civil service is a stark reminder of the cost of austerity to ordinary working people. The losses were calculated by using the Office for National Statistics data on the number of civil servants and the average loss per civil servant.

“PCS has been calling for an above inflation pay rise and for the pay cap to be scrapped. PCS wrote to the Chancellor seeking assurances that funding would be put into civil service budgets to allow for above inflation pay rises but no such assurances have been given.

“PCS has now submitted a formal pay claim for the civil service to David Lidington at the Cabinet Office asking for an increase of 5% or £1,200 whichever is the greater to partly compensate for the loss in living standards over the past seven years and a return to national pay bargaining to replace the current and costly system of over 200 pay bargaining units.

“These protests will highlight to the public the true cost of austerity and the effect of the pay cap on the local economy.

“These figures are truly shocking. Civil servants have suffered years of pay freezes and caps. The figures show the true cost of austerity.

“This is money that should have been in member ’s purses and wallets.

“It would have helped the local and national economy as members would have spent this on goods and services. Our members would not be investing this in off shore accounts.

“It’s time the Chancellor got a grip on this situation. Our members can’t afford another year of this. He needs to act now.”

Motorists face ‘traffic chaos’ after ‘rat run’ road blocked off

Report by Tom Martin TRAFFIC on a main road in Crosby has been described by motorists as “utter chaos� after a slip road was blocked off by Sefton Council.

The Champion reported earlier this month how Edgemoor Drive will be cordoned off at its junction with the busy Moor Lane after complaints from some residents that it was used as a rat-run.

A temporary barricade was put up in time for the morning commute on Monday, January 29 and will now remain there for three months as the council aim to ease congestion on roads in Thornton and Crosby.

However, some drivers got in touch with the Champion to say it has caused grid-lock right along Moor Lane, stretching all the way from Broom's Cross Road to the roundabout next to The Northern Road.

One Crosby motorist, who travels to Knowsley for work, claimed a journey which usually takes him around 15-20 The road is now blocked at the end of Edgemoor Drive minutes took more than three quarters of an hour Lane traffic to flow. “Millions have been spent making Broom's Cross on Monday.

He said: “It was utter chaos and has turned Moor Road a single lane highway even though its wide Lane into a car park.

The blocking of Edgemoor Drive comes after the “Then you queue snail-like all the way along to Aldi due to the ridiculous number of lights along council carried out a Thornton Corridor Study, the route and the most annoying of all, the lights at which looked at reducing traffic queues in the area.

Residents say this problem has been made worse due to the opening of Broom's Cross Road, with some describing Edgemoor Drive as a “rat run�.

During a consultation held last year by the council, 275 information packs were sent out to homeowners in the area with a list of six options to try and ease congestion.

The council say that around 55% of those who responded opted for the closure of Edgemoor Drive at its junction with Moor Lane.

However, some residents claim they were never made aware of the consultation and would have voted against it.

Illegal immigrants arrested at docks HOME Office investigators are set to decide the fate of six illegal Albanian immigrants after they jumped off a ship at Bootle docks.

The group were arrested on Monday, January 22 after they were spotted arriving at the dock before trying to flee, with some

entering restricted areas to avoid capture. Port Police contacted government agency Border Force who sent officials to the dock.

They were taken to police stations across Merseyside and their cases have since been passed to the Home Office.

Grand National Festival tickets are selling well.

Grand National Festival on way to being sell-out

By Champion Reporter With ten weeks to go until the 2018 Randox Health Grand National Festival, Aintree Racecourse has announced that all grandstand areas and Festival Zone tickets for Grand National Day are sold out with only Steeplechase tickets still available for Saturday, April 14.

This announcement comes one month sooner than last year which organisers say “shows the demand and the ‘feel good factor’ for the greatest horse race in the world.”

All grandstand and Festival Zone tickets are sold out, but Steeplechase tickets can still be bought through randoxhealthgrandnational.co.uk for £29.

Aintree Racecourse managing director John Baker

said: “We are delighted with the sales on Grand National Day and we are ahead on ticket sales over the three days compared to this time last year, which is excellent.

“We’re all excited about the Festival and are working extremely hard to provide racegoers with the best possible experience over the three days.

“We’ve listened to customers and are continuing to improve many areas including toilets and seating across the site.

“It’s not just about selling tickets, we want racegoers to really enjoy themselves at one of the best horse racing Festivals in the world.

“With the quality of horses being entered into the Grand National race as well as across the Festival, it’s three days of fun and top class racing that’s not to be missed.”

Streets left with broken lights due to contract decision says councillor Report by Kenny Parker

Established 39 years Full Marble Surround WAS £599

Sefton Council is now reliant on residents and councillors to inform on broken street lights.

£295 95

Open: Mon-Sat 9am-5pm • Sun 11am-4pm

A PARISH council chairman says he has been inundated with complaints about broken street lights as Sefton Council has been left without a maintenance service team for the last two months.

There is currently no night scouting service to identify broken lights in Sefton after the council’s arrangement with the previous service provider ended in December.

The council says a new company should be operational by the end of January and says it has continued to maintain urgent lighting faults in the meantime.

Aintree Parish Council chairman Councilor Jack Colbert, however, says he has been “inundated with complaints” about broken street lights going unrepaired.

He said: “It is ridiculous that they changed contractors in the winter with the long dark nights.

“We have been inundated with complaints that roads are completely out of light all around the area.”

He added: “You have to question the judgement of Sefton Council officers that would let this happen over a winter period when it goes so dark so early in the day A spokesman for Sefton Council said: “As part of the budget setting process to save £64m by 2020, a decision was made in March, 2017 to introduce a change to the street lighting maintenance function.

“The existing service came to an end on December 15 but since then we have still carried out any urgent and emergency repairs where necessary.

“We are currently nearing the end of procuring an external service provider to deliver street lighting maintenance and installation services and this should start at the end of January.

“Also agreed earlier in the budget process was a decision to end the ‘Night Scouting’ service which previously identified all nonfunctioning lighting units.

“We will now be fully reliant on the public, councillors and other stakeholders to report faults regarding any electrical street furniture and hope everyone lets us know if they spot any broken lights.

“There are a number of ways to do this, however, the best way is to use the online reporting tool on www.sefton.gov.uk/4656.

Other ways to report faults include emailing streetlighting.enquiries@sefton. gov.uk or by calling 0345 140 0845.”

Honouring Holocaust victims

Sefton marks Holocaust Memorial Day 2018 with a service hosted at Christ Church, Lord Street last Sunday.

A MEMORIAL Day service took place at the weekend.

The service was organised by the Association of Jewish Ex-Service Men and Women, young people from King George V College in Southport, students from Runshaw College and St John’s School in Ainsdale, Sefton Unison and Sefton Council. The Memorial Day service at Christ Church on Lord Street on Sunday, January 28, featured moving presentations from the students including the story of famous Holocaust victim, writer Anne Frank, who died aged 15 at Bergen Belsen Concentration Camp.

There were also presentations from Glen Williams from Sefton Unison, Pauline Collier, Holocaust fellow of the Imperial War

Museum and South Sefton MP Bill Esterson.

Pauline Collier presided during the service, which included contributions from Rabbi Dr Robert Ash, Revd Rob Milton and Imam Soyful Alam.

MP Bill Esterson said: “I would like to thank everyone who helped organise this year ’s Holocaust Memorial Service. The theme is the Power of Words and as the philosopher Edmund Burke is widely believed to have said, 'The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil, is for good people to do nothing.' We know that in our country, hate crime has gone up alarmingly in the last two years. Prejudice is wrong and we should say so, loud and clear. As we remember the Holocaust, it is right that we

remember the genocides of Armenia, Srebrenica, Cambodia, Dafor and what is happening now to the Rohingya muslims in Myanmar.

“Our job is to remember, to be vigilant, to speak out. We must learn and apply the lessons of history or we will repeat the mistakes. Remember also the words of Anne Frank: 'People are truly good at heart.' We should promote a message of hope and tolerance, not allow a message of fear and division to dominate.”

The Holocaust Memorial Trust is asking people to register as a Guardian of the Memory online to ensure each victim is remembered. You can do this at guardianofthememory.org

Blocking off rat run can’t come Fracking causes pollution soon enough for residents and increases climate change In response to your article, ‘Rat run Junction Blocked for Three Month Trial.’

It can’t come soon enough for most residents in Edgemoor Drive, Ronaldsway and Thornfield Road.

Since the opening of Brooms Cross Road, residents have been blighted with traffic queuing down the streets caused by motorists trying to save a few minutes time off their journeys.

Their ‘short cut’ invariably takes them longer as they then have to merge into queues along Edgemoor which arise from people taking a shortcut through the estate via St William Road.

Consequently the estate becomes a car park with cars not moving at all.

Residents cannot get out of their drives due to the traffic queues the whole thing has become a nightmare.

Hence the majority of residents requesting the closure of Edgemoor Drive.

Other residents on the estate who oppose the move have probably not been affected by constant queues of traffic outside their homes.

How would they feel sitting in traffic for 10 minutes at the top of their street waiting to eventually get to your house to park up?

It’s a small price to pay to benefit the majority of residents who suffer on a daily basis.

Let’s hope the council have the common sense to make the temporary trial permanent.

Concerned resident, Thornton

Re: proposed Fracking of Altcar Moss.

Fracking been linked to pollution of air and water in the USA and increasing seismic events.

Most worrying of all are health issues for people near fracking sites.

That’s why it’s banned in many countries across the world, including Ireland and Scotland.

Fracking caused earth tremors in Blackpool.

The probability of toxic fracking fluid leaking into the water table above the shale beds is a concern.

There is always a chance the borehole casing will fail, and seismic activity as a result of fracking could disrupt the casing (as happened near Blackpool in 2011).

Fracking companies always play down the risks and exaggerate the benefits.

They mention jobs but ignore the threat to jobs in the rural economy and tourism.

And fracking is a dirty process that releases a greenhouse gas 80 times more potent than CO2.

PICTURE of the week

It requires huge volumes of water laced with the toxic chemicals for the process to work efficiently.

This requires large movements of fluids into and out of the well site.

Before disposal the spent fluids are stored in evaporation lagoons, so the air above and around the lagoons contains concentrations of chemicals, along with radioactive trace elements such as tadon released along with the methane gas.

To fully exploit any gas reserves, there would not be just one well, as they imply, but many wells which will totally alter the landscape.

We need to take action to slow down climate change, not make it worse through fossil fuel exploitation of risky sources like shale gas.

It needs to stay in the ground, and we should be taking action to keep it there.

Roy Greason, Sefton Green Party.

Be proud of impact of UK aid overseas I’m so proud of the impact UK aid has made to millions of children and their families.

It’s important to me that our community supports the UK’s commitment to helping the poorest people help themselves.

We are big enough to help those in need here and abroad.

This means our doctors and nurses assisting in communities and training local staff in times of disaster or disease.

During the Ebola crisis in Sierra Leone NHS staff and UK military personnel trained 4,000 health workers alongside hundreds of British charity workers.

UK aid shows us at our best.

It’s why I’m supporting organisations like Save the Children to encourage the public to have conversations about UK aid.

We can and should move the debate away from why we spend aid to how we best spend it.

Please help shine a spotlight on this issue and the pride we can all take in UK aid.

Council did a good job clearing up litter bin mess Re: Letter on litter bins.

I also went walking along the canal towpath a week last Sunday and saw the disgusting state of the litter bin and the surrounding area.

I agree with G McHugh’s comments about the dog owners and their black bags, but at least they did make the effort of picking up the dog muck unlike some! I phoned Sefton

Council on the Monday afternoon complaining about the state of the area.

The person I talked to was fully apologetic and promised to have it cleared up within two working days.

I drove past on Tuesday afternoon and am pleased to say the place looked clean and tidy, job done.

Ted Mac, Melling

Great news that dentists will be staying open!

Re: Dentists’ not being turned into flats and stay open.

What a fantastic and positive move!

I haven’t visited a dentist for a good four years and kept putting it off.

So I plucked the courage and went.

I was seen by a very reassuring Romanian lady doctor, who apart from teeth and gums, checked my lymph nodes as well.

Nervous as hell, no bad news, no cavities, meaning no use of a drill.

Just a good clean and polish on Saturday. Professional, hard-working, good luck to them, so when I read your article about perspective flats, I just couldn't believe it.

Even if the basement and the ground floor were still left for dental work, it would be a completely unsuitable premise, given the number of patients milling through the whole week.

Pupils and head ready to VAT FREE SALE! get chop to help friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s See our extensive dad who has rare cancer range on our website www.tileworld.co.uk

Report by Tom Martin PUPILS will join forces with their headteacher to have their heads shaved to help a local dad who has cancer.

Children from English Martyrs Primary School decided to get a hair chop to help Litherland dad Matt Henderson, who is trying to raise ÂŁ200,000 to fly to America for cancer treatment.

Matt's son, Seb, is a pupil at the school and along with his pals, Jacob Jones, Harry Campbell, Joe Byrne, John Keys, Richard Rimmer and Alex Lawes, they all wanted to come up with an idea to fundraise.

Their hair cut idea certainly proved popular in the classroom, so much so that headteacher Lewis Dinsdale, as Headteacher Lewis Dinsdale with Matt Hendersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son Seb, back left, well as the dads of the pupils, and friends Jacob jones, Harry Campbell, Joe Byrne, John Keys, Richard Rimmer and Alex Lawes who are taking part in the headshave. have all agreed to take part!

DON’T FORGET LADIES’ DAY AT HURLSTON HALL Sean Paul Redding, centre, with his team and students and staff from the L20 Hotel School.

Star vegetarian chef is toast of college!

Report by Tom Martin AN award winning chef from America, famed for his vegan and vegetarian cuisine worked with students at Hugh Baird College to produce a tasty menu for over 50 guests.

Sean Paul Redding, who is the head chef at city centre venue Liv Organic, helped students at the college’s L20 Hotel School.

Sean Paul honed his skills in the kitchen at the famous Book for Cooks, in Notting Hill, and has previously won ‘Best Vegetarian Restaurant’ from the Vegetarian Society and Time Out magazine.

Chef Sean Paul worked with L20 Hotel School students to prepare and serve a four-course South-

west American inspired dinner.

L20 Hotel School student Mason Spencer said: “Working alongside Sean Paul and his team was incredible.

“To have the opportunity to learn from an industry leader was an inspiring experience, I learnt so much about vegan and vegetarian cuisine.”

Sean Paul Redding said the students were “amazing to work with.”

He added: “I wanted to introduce them to different foods and flavours that they may have not come across before and also new styles of cooking.

“They quickly grasped the idea of vegan and vegetarian cooking, using products such as No Egg, a replacement for eggs and vegan cream cheeses.

“They took it all in and helped my team and I produce a menu which I hope the guests really loved.”

Ladies, it’s that time of year again and the Grand National is fast-approaching.

We’ll be celebrating Ladies’ Day on Friday 13th April in our usual style with a splash of decadence.

The day we have planned has all the fun and frolics of Aintree and none of the mud, so your Louboutins will live to tell the tale.

You’ll be greeted with a drink on arrival, a two course lunch and afternoon tea with live entertainment plus all the racing from down the road.

It’s £40 per lady and every booking earns an entry into the draw to win a spa treatment.

Area taking starring role in film industry Report by Tom Martin LIVERPOOL and Sefton seem to be taking a starring role on silver and small screens across the world as filming in the areas is at an all-time high.

The Liverpool Film Office recorded its busiest ever year in 2017 with 289 film and TV projects shot, resulting in a massive 1,359 filming days which generated a £11.1million boost to the local economy.

Some of the productions included BBC Two’s award winning Peaky Blinders, which was shot on Formby and Crosby beaches, with stars Tom Hardy and Cillian Murphy spotted filming on the sand.

There was also Emmy nominated Broken, starring Sean Bean and Anna Friel, which was filmed in Admiral Street and various locations in Sefton.

Other projects were BAFTA nominated Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool and Channel 4 documentary One Born Every Minute at Liverpool Women's Hospital.

Songs of Praise, Strictly Come Dancing, The X Factor, The Real Housewives of Cheshire, The One Show, the Worst Witch series, Extreme Cake Makers and The Voice also filmed in parts of Liverpool last year.

Assistant Mayor and cabinet member responsible for the Film Office, Councillor Wendy Simon, said: “For many years Liverpool has been one of the UK’s most filmed locations outside of London, and it’s fantastic to see that the city retains that appeal with productions returning to the city time and time again.

“This city provides the perfect backdrop for directors – there are so many diverse and stunning locations on offer and Liverpool can be transformed into different destinations – whether it be New York, London or Eastern Europe – its appeal is endless.

Tom Hardy filming Peaky Blinders on Formby Beach

“The calibre of productions coming here is incredible with so many of them receiving rave reviews and then go on to be a well-known name on the awards circuit.

“A huge amount of credit should be given to the small team which make up the Liverpool Film Office – their unrivalled knowledge of the city and willingness to go above and beyond has resulted in fantastic relationships being developed between the city council and the film industry.

“It’s an exciting time for the city and I look forward to seeing what other TV and film gems head to Liverpool in 2018.”

Early indications show 2018 is going to be yet another strong year for the city with the hotly anticipated TV adaptation of War of The Worlds by Mammoth Screen for BBC already confirmed to film later in the spring.

Hospice given £3k donation from memorial tree charity Report by Tom Martin A MEMORIAL forest charity has donated £3,000 to St Joseph’s Hospice to bring its total donations over the past 15 years to £30,000.

Life for a Life Memorial Forests, a charity based in Greater Manchester, helps bereaved families to remember their loved ones by planting native trees, such as English Oak, Silver Birch, Mountain Ash and Scots Pine, in woodlands across the UK in their memory.

Their donations form part of the charity ’s commitment to supporting the Thornton hospice.

Almost 300 memorial trees surround St Joseph’s Hospice and families regularly visit to spend time there and remember their much-loved family or friends.

As part of its commitment to St Joseph’s Hospice and every family which buys a tree, Life for a Life guarantees the life of each tree and will manage and maintain each forest for a minimum of 25 years with some agreements on land over 50 years.

The first part of the donation was presented to St Joseph’s Hospice chief executive, Mike Parr, last week along with a commitment to the remaining £1,500 in the next few weeks. The donation is being

St Joseph’s Hospice chief executive Mike Parr with Life for a Life founder Norman Armstrong-Kersh

used to part-fund two new, secure log cabins for the onsite storage of clinical equipment at the hospice.

Mr Parr said: “We have worked in partnership with Life for a Life Memorial

Forests for over 15 years now.

“They provide a wonderful and meaningful service to bereaved families, leaving them with a very special and long term tribute to their loved ones as well as a special place to go and feel close to them.

“They also do a wonderful job of maintaining our forests, something which would otherwise be really costly to the hospice.

“We would like to thank Life for a Life fore this generous donation and we look forward to working with them for many years to come.”

Norman Armstrong-Kersh, founder and chief executive of Life for a Life, said: “We offer families a natural, non-denominational and environmentally friendly way to remember someone special.

“Some families plant their loved ones ashes beneath the tree and we have developed special slow release biodegradable containers so the ashes dissolve and actually feed the tree over a number of years. This helps bereaved families as the tree actually grows from the ashes. The ashes also help to make the tree and the forest healthy too.

“We manage and maintain all our memorial forests for at least 25 years. As a not-for-profit charity, we plough any surplus funding back in to the community through donations to our charity partners, like St Joseph’s Hospice.”

NHS wants your memories to help celebrate 70th anniversary HEALTH commissioners in Sefton are encouraging former NHS employees and members of the public to share their memories of the health service to commemorate the 70th anniversary.

The NHS was born on July 5, 1948 and an online digital archive is being compiled to form the first UK wide archive of NHS history.

Officials from NHS South Sefton Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and NHS Southport and Formby CCG are keen to ensure that residents in the borough don’t miss the opportunity to share their NHS stories with future generations.

Speaking about the 70th anniversary, Fiona Taylor, chief officer of both CCGs, said: “The NHS is one of

our most loved institutions and what makes it so special is the people. We really want to hear from staff, past and present, and patients who have fond memories of our local NHS. “Although anyone can contribute, we’re particularly keen to hear from people who were employed by the NHS 70 years ago and those who were born in an NHS hospital in 1948.”

Once collated, the stories will be added to the national digital archive which will go live later this year.

People interested in sharing their memories about the NHS should email communications@ sefton.nhs.uk and include contact details.

Report by Tom Martin MERSEYSIDE Police have revealed that overall crime figures in the area have increased - but have stressed that they don’t believe our streets are any less safe.

Crime across the country has gone up by a national average of 15.3%, compared to a rise of 13.8% in Merseyside. This takes into account crime recorded in the 12 months to the year ending September 2017.

Violent crimes, particularly those that have not involved anyone being injured, have risen in Merseyside in line with national averages. There was a 16.4% increase in violence in Merseyside, which is a total of 4,430 more crimes than the previous 12 months.

Sexual offences also increased by 26.4%, higher than the national average of 23.3%.

Deputy Chief Constable Carl Foulkes said: “Although overall crime in Merseyside has gone up, this has been less than the national average overall, and in some cases is an indicator of increased public confidence locally and nationally in the way we investigate certain offences.

“There have again been significant increases in the levels of recorded violent crime, but I would like to reassure our communities that we have looked carefully at this issue and don’t believe our streets are any less safe.

“Most of this increase can be attributed to incidents where, although violence has been used, it has resulted in either a minor injury or no injury at all.

“Under recording guidelines, incidents like this must be recorded, and rightly so, but this does not mean that we are seeing more violence on the streets of Merseyside, just an increased recording.

“The increases in reporting of sexual offences also mirror an upward national trend. Public perception and confidence in reporting sexual offences has increased significantly in recent years.

“We welcome the fact that more victims of these historically under-reported, hidden crimes now have more confidence and trust in the police and want to tell us what has happened to them, as it is only through them doing so that we can take action against their attackers, as we regularly see with results in court.

“In recognition of this increased reporting in the past few years we are looking at ways to train more specialist officers to investigate these sensitive and complex crimes, where the victim’s needs are put first every step of the way and they feel supported and believed.”

Hospice dog walk ST Joseph’s Hospice has launched a competition to find the paw-fect pooch to front a brand new fundraising event this spring, and they would be barking mad to miss it!

Woof in the Woods, on Sunday, April 22, will be a sponsored dog walk with a difference, taking place in the woodlands surrounding the hospice in Thornton.

But before that, the hospice wants to find a dog to appear on posters and promotional materials, as well as starring online and on social media, so camera shy canines need not enter.

To enter, email events@jospice.org.uk attaching a full colour, high resolution photo of your dog, including their name, breed and age, plus your name and contact details. You can also enter online at www.jospice.org.uk.

The competition closes on Friday, February 16 and the winner will be selected at random and announced on Monday, February 26. For full detalis visit www.jospice.org.uk.

Plaza Cinema film helps pupils learn about WWII death camp victims

Some of the pupils with their Anne Frank inspired diaries.

MORE than 200 pupils from across Sefton were invited to the Plaza Cinema for a special event to remember those who died in concentration camps during the Second World War. Youngsters from Newfield School, Crosby High School, Waterloo Primary School, Birkdale High School, St Edmunds and St Thomas’ Primary School and Thomas Grey School all went to the Waterloo cinema to watch 1997 film The Island on Bird Street.

The film tells the story of a

young boy, Alex, and his struggle to survive alone in a Jewish ghetto during the war.

Martin Fol, manager of the Plaza, said: “We had a turnout of 200 and Crosby High pupils had been writing their own diaries about Anne Frank and they had their work displayed in the foyer.

“There will be a second showing of the film on Monday, February 5 at 9.45am and anyone wanting to book this free showing can contcat the cinema.”

The Champion ● Wednesday 31 January 2018

Young people are entitled to their views - but you don’t get many teenage generals I KNOW I am asking for trouble by saying this - but I have become increasingly convinced that many of our current problems are down to the present pandering to the young.

I am by no means convinced even that the lowering of the voting age from 21 to 18 was a good idea - now those old enough to know better are clamouring for it to be reduced to 16.

If you had asked me when I was a teenager, some of my thoughts then were not quite so brilliant.

For instance, when I was 14 or so I had a wonderful idea in my head that most railway lines should be concreted over and converted into coach ways - yes, we could all travel cheaply around the country by bus!

And believe it or not, some of it very nearly came to pass anyway.

Marylebone station in London was very nearly demolished - to be replaced by a coach station.

Happily wiser counsel prevailed and this railway station has instead undergone a renaissance.

But as I grew up I learned to examine all sides of an argument and the unintended results of what may have seemed on the surface to be great ideas.

And yes, I freely admit that young people these days are far more savvy than those of my generation - but what they are not is any older than I was.

Put bluntly, they haven’t experienced real life in the real world.

Probably indeed less than those of my generation since now, for good or for ill, every boy or girl and their dogs are expected to continue from school into higher education.

Young people should have a voice, one that is heard and opinions respected and debated.

But when you have a situation where both our main political parties are falling over themselves to curry favour with teenagers because they can swing national elections, you are opening a can of worms.

Of course it is true that we think 16-year-olds are mature enough to fight for their country but in the armed forces they are told what to do and how to behave - rather like at school.

How many 20 year old generals are there?

Would an 18 year old Nelson have won the Battle of Trafalgar?

I am not trying to put young people down.

Their enthusiasm and fresh ideas are valuable assets and they need to be listened to.

But idealism and practicality do not always walk hand in hand and I really think that before making decisions on who should be running this benighted country you should have some personal idea of what is what - not necessarily second hand from a I-Pod or whatever.

I noted this morning that knife crimes have risen by 21%. Most of these are committed by young people.

But no, I am not suggesting that most teenagers are knife wielding maniacs.

However, older politicians are now suggesting (and I think rightly) that there should be a change in policy so that as well as catching and prosecuting offenders, efforts should be made to look into the lifestyles of the youngsters concerned to find the root causes that lead them into crime.

But I reckon those conducting these enquiries will be rather older than their subjects.

I am terrified of handing power to a generation whose opinions are based on the social media - with all its attendant risks of cyber bullying and infiltration by those with extreme views.

I suppose I am still on occasion subject to extreme daft flights of fancy about some pet schemes close to my heart - but fortunately for the country at large these rarely survive waking up in the morning and anyway I can recognise them for what they are.

SOUTHPORT’S LEADING

Report by Tom Martin BROOM'S Cross Road has won a top award for its “significant environmental achievement.”

Sefton Council registered the A5758, which links Thornton to Switch Island, with the Civil Engineering Environmental Quality scheme (CEEQUAL).

CEEQUAL is an awards scheme to celebrate high environmental and social performance in civil engineering and landscaping projects.

The whole A5758 scheme was assessed, from original concept, through design, construction and completion.

Sefton Council constructed the road to create a more direct link between Thornton and the motorway network at Switch Island.

It opened in 2015 with Balfour Beatty the main contractors.

Sefton Council leader Cllr Ian Maher said: “It was a great honour to receive the award from CEEQUAL for a scheme that has made the whole of Sefton more accessible.

“It demonstrates the council's ability to deliver high quality infrastructure schemes across the borough.”

Cllr John Fairclough, Sefton Council's Cabinet Member for Locality Services, said: “The road

took a number of years to develop and construct and the fact it has been recognised through a top industry award goes to show how the time was well spent in planning and building a wonderful link road.

“Thousands of vehicles use the road every single day because of the improved links to the national motorway system at Switch Island.

“Construction of the road particularly resulted in environmental improvements to the area, including the creation of four new wildlife ponds and the planting of 39,000 new trees and shrubs.”

Fundraisers urged to take on swimming challenge

Mayor and Mayoress of Sefton with trustees and helpers of Sefton Children's Trust outside the Plaza Cinema

Charity holds day for families Diabetes UK wants swimmers to tackle 22 miles

FUNDRAISERS from Sefton are being urged to take on a new swimming-based challenge between next month and May. The team at Diabetes UK are looking for residents to take on Swim 22, between February 22 and May 22. Participants will cover an incredible 22 miles – the equivalent of crossing the English Channel.

People taking on the challenge can swim in their local pool alone or, better still, with family, friends or colleagues. The distance can even be split between a team to make it easier for everyone.

Stephen Ryan from Diabetes UK said: “Swimming is a fantastic way to stay fit and healthy, have fun

and set yourself a challenge. Whether you’re an absolute beginner or a seasoned swimmer, our team will be on hand to offer swimming tips and fundraising advice. Every day, around 700 people are diagnosed with diabetes. When diabetes is not well managed it can lead to serious complications including heart disease, stroke, blindness, kidney failure and amputations. Every length you complete and every pound you raise brings us closer to our vision of a world where diabetes can do no harm. So sign up and make a splash!”

To register, visit diabetes.org.uk/swim22. There is no registration fee and no minimum sponsorship.

FAMILIES who are supported by a local charity enjoyed a fun day in Waterloo.

The party started at Plaza Cinema with a showing of Paddington Bear 2 followed by a meal at nearby Nicola's restaurant, on South Road, when each family was presented with a bag of goodies and a gift.

Damp Problems? Call us….

Rising and penetrative damp can affect a building’s structure, damaging walls and creating fungal growth which will ultimately devalue a property and potentially damage your health.

BKM Mannesmann uses a highly effective, advanced polymer technology from Germany. Traditional silicone products and tanking processes are less effective and merely trap moisture in the walls.

Our Injection process turns the whole wall into a hydrophobic barrier but allows the masonry to dry out effectively.

Typical installation: ! Inside or outside injection ! Clean, no odour ! Less mess – only damaged plaster is replaced ! Work usually completed in 1 to 2 days.

Our team have extensive training by our qualified Technicians around the world. We pride ourselves on leaving a house cleaner than when we started!

Also in attendance was the Mayor of Sefton Dave Robinson, which has supported Sefton Children's Trust.

Merseyside Children's Fund made a donation of £2,000 to the charity to help run the event, which was attended by more than 150 people.

NHS Liverpool Clinical Commissioning (CCG) has been rated as ‘Outstanding’ for diabetes care following a recent assessment.

The service was recently inspected by the National Clinical Director for Obesity and Diabetes at NHS England. Diabetes is one of the major challenges facing the NHS and estimates suggest that 8.3% of people in Liverpool may develop Type 2 diabetes by 2030, unless more education and support is provided to help people take better care of their health and wellbeing.

In early 2015 NHS Liverpool CCG invested almost £1million into creating a new, integrated approach to diabetes care as part of Healthy Liverpool, to help tackle this challenge and improve outcomes for people living with diabetes across the city.

The Liverpool Diabetes Partnership (LDP) was set up in partnership between Aintree University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen NHS Trust and Liverpool Community Health NHS Trust, with the specific aims of providing more diabetes care closer to where people live, and more education for patients on how to manage the condition.

Through this new service, patients continue to see consultants, nurses, GPs, dietitians and podiatrists involved in their treatment like before, but now they can receive most of this specialist care closer to home through community-based clinics, with these different health professionals all working together as a single, integrated team.

Dr Janet Bliss, GP and clinical director for community services at Liverpool CCG said: “We’re absolutely delighted that we’ve been recognised for providing outstanding diabetes care in Liverpool.

When we first set up the Liverpool Diabetes Partnership, our vision was to provide a person-centred service that would better support people living with diabetes to receive the best possible care, and give patients and their families easy access to advice on how to manage their condition and stay well - all in one place.

“This assessment highlights that we have successfully achieved that, improving the health and quality of life enjoyed by many people living with diabetes in our city, and we want to continue to build on this in the future.”

Dr Cheong Ooi, diabetes consultant from Aintree University Hospital commented: “Diabetes affects a huge number of people in Liverpool and it is great to see that our partnership way of working, which has been made possible with the support of our commissioners, is really benefitting our patients.”

Educate Awards opens up for nominations INSPIRING teachers, superb support staff and unique school projects from across Sefton can now apply for this year's Educate Awards.

The awards, founded by Kim O’Brien in 2012, is the largest education awards in the North West and celebrates every aspect of the school’s curriculum, teaching and staff.

The awards recognises the work of schools and colleges which are delivering outstanding education and helping students achieve their full potential.

Since launching in Liverpool in 2012, the awards has grown rapidly, recognising schools and colleges right across the Liverpool City Region, Cheshire and Lancashire.

The awards are free to enter

and open to all government funded and independent private educational establishments, including primary, secondary, further education providers and special needs schools.

And following a record-breaking year in 2017, this year the awards is expanding into Greater Manchester and will accept entries from all 10 boroughs.

Founder Kim O’Brien said the expansion is due to unprecedented demand from schools in Greater Manchester to take part and be in with a chance of winning a prestigious award.

In total there are 21 award categories, from Teacher of the Year, Career Aspiration, School Support Star of the Year and Outstanding Commitment to Sport.

Kim O’Brien added: “The Educate Awards is an important platform to celebrate education and give those working in schools who transform learning, the credit they deserve.

“We would love to hear about the teachers, support staff and exciting projects happening in schools right across the Liverpool City Region!

“We are delighted to launch the call for entries for 2018.”

The deadline for entries is midnight on Sunday, June 24. The shortlist will be announced prior to the awards ceremony and the winners will be revealed on November 26 at Liverpool Cathedral.

The Good Catch team scoop a national Award A FISH and chip shop business has scooped the top award in a national competition!

The Good Catch, which has six chippies across Merseyside, including Sefton Road in Litherland, Liverpool Road in Crosby and Montegue Mews in Freshfield, won the Best Multiple Fish and Chip Operator Award at the National Fish & Chip Awards. They won the Award at the ceremony, known as the ‘Oscars’ of the fish and chip world in London, on January 25.

The team from the Fylde Fish Bar in Southport lost out on the national Fish and Chip Shop of the Year Award – but were the winners of the North West Fish and Chip Shop of the Year Award.

Open to businesses that operate three or more establishments, the Best Multiple Fish and Chip Operator category assesses shops against a wide variety of judging criteria, including responsible

sourcing policies, outlet appearance and facilities, menu development and innovation, supplier relationships, marketing and promotional activity and staff development and training.

Judges also made unannounced visits to shop premises to undertake further assessment of business practices in addition to assessing both the quality of the fish and chips on offer and levels of customer service provided.

Chris Pittaras, owner of The Good Catch, said: “We operate a family run business and our heritage is firmly embedded in the industry, with our grandfather and father owning and operating their own fish and chip businesses as well. We pride ourselves on our reputation of providing great service and quality, so to be recognised among some of the best in the industry for delivering the highest standards across all of our locations is a real honour.”

Slimming World

Award wiining Slimming World Consultant Tina Whewell and her members at Ormskirk Rugby Club are celebrating the start of Free Food February, which is named after the healthy ‘Free Foods’ that Slimming World members can enjoy without weighing, counting or measuring when losing weight on Slimming World’s Food Optimising eating plan.

Free Food February is being held in Slimming World groups up and down the UK from 29th January to 3rd March and aims to show how the organisation’s members lose weight without hunger and often discover (or rediscover) a love of cooking. It coincides with the publication of Slimming World’s latest recipe book Little book of menu.

Members of the groups, which is held every Wednesday at 9.30am, 11.30am, 5.30pm & 7.30pm , will create a delicious feast for the event, consisting of hunger busting dishes made entirely from ‘Free Foods’, which include fruit and veg, pasta, rice, potatoes, lean meat, fish, eggs and more, showing that Slimming World members never need to suffer the hunger pangs that usually see people throwing in the towel on other weight-loss plans.

Tina who has ran successful groups for over 24 years says “ New members normally can’t believe how much food they can eat and still lose weight. Making small changes to the way they cook their meals means they can still enjoy all of their favourite meals like curries, steak and chips and roast dinners. Every week in our groups we swap recipes and if members ever struggle there has always been someone ready to suggest a new idea or remind us why we shouldn’t give up.”

The theme of Free Food February is ‘love it, cook it, share it’ so we’d love to show even more people that healthy eating isn’t all carrot sticks and lettuce leaves.”

To find out more about Free Food February and losing weight without hunger at Slimming World, pop along to the Tina’s Slimming World group, which is held at Ormskirk Rugby Club every Wednesday at 9.30am, 11.30am 5.30pm & 7.30pm , or call Tina on 01515484266.

Schools celebrate The BEST Line Dance more pupils cycling holidays in the UK to their classrooms FROM ONLY Choose from more than 75 Line dance holidays in 20 great locations hosted by 30 of the very best Line dance teachers

Report by Tom Martin SEFTON pupils are riding high after it was revealed more children are cycling to school.

Staff and youngsters from 16 schools across the borough were invited to The Ramada Plaza hotel, in Southport, to celebrate the fact that more childen are pedalling to the classroom.

They were joined by the charity Sustrans, who has worked with over 40 schools in the area and managed to persuade an average of 17% of children to cycle regularly.

On top of this, 51% sometimes cycle, compared to just 2.8% in 2007 before the project began.

In 2017 there were organised 200 bike rides throughout the area and 15,208 children, 1,842 adults and 289 school staff took part in cycle activities, with the help and support of school staff, Sefton Road Safety team, local PCSOs and former Bike It officer Mary Kelland.

This year a new regular event called ‘Wheely Wednesdays’ got children and adults cycling and scooting to compete for a £200 prize for their school.

Sustrans schools officer Amanda Dufresne said: “Sefton schools have done amazingly

Sustrans invited schools in Sefton to celebrate their cycling successes at a tea party in the Ramada

well this year with some schools regularly getting over half children cycling or scooting their journeys.

“This event was a big thank you for all their enthusiasm to get active and healthy on the school run, and a chance to showcase the fantastic results to other schools which might encourage more cycling and walking.”

Helen Gambon, a Year 2

teacher at Redgate school in Formby said: “The cycling events bring the school together for a shared experience and encourages parents to ride as well.

“Last year one of our mums won a voucher at Wheely Wednesday. Events like this get you motivated and inspired.

“A lot of my children couldn’t ride a bike, but after one morning session they were able to cycle. It’s a skill for life.”

THE music of Take That is celebrated in the new musical, The Band, which has opened at The Liverpool Empire.

This show tells the story of a group of teenage girls Rachel (Faye Christall), Heather (Katy Clayton), Debbie (Rachelle Diedericks), Claire (Sarah Kate Howarth) and Zoe (Lauren Jacobs) who are all fans of The Band. The young actresses work well together and the banter between them is good and there are some funny moments.

There is a reflective mood in the show and before it starts the audience is shown news items from 1993 from Ceefax, remember that! There are plenty of references to watching Top of The Pops on a Thursday at 7pm and to Smash Hits.

Tragedy occurs on the night they go to see their heroes and their lives are to change forever.

This show is not a biography of Take That but the action in interspersed with Take That songs sung by AJ, Curtis, Sario, Nick and Yazdan, who were the winners of the BBC's Let It Shine programme. They perform Take That's greatest hits including: Shine, A Million Love Songs, and on the night I went they had the audience waving their hands in the air.

The story also stands out as well as the music. There are many comical moments in the play and the script is by Tim Firth, who also wrote Calendar Girls.

We then meet the girls 25 years later

L to R Alison Fitzjohn as Claire, Rachel Lumberg as Rachel, Emily Joyce as Heather and Jayne McKenna as Zoe in The Band. Picture by Matt Crockett.

and for some their hopes and dreams have not turned out quite how they expected. Expect some shocks as the women catch up. The characters are now played by different people.

Rachel (Rachel Lumberg) is with Jeff (Martin Miller) and wins a competition to see The Band in Europe. She decides to invite her old school friends - Claire

(Alison Fitzjohn), Heather (Emily Joyce) and Zoe (Jayne McKenna) - and they have an eventful few days on holiday.

Each of the actresses brings something different to the show, which can be seen until Saturday, February 3.

This is a feel-good production, but be prepared for some more poignant moments as well. 8/10

Singer taking to resort’s theatre stage A NIGHT of storytelling in the richest vein is on the cards as Charlie Landsborough takes to the Southport Theatre stage on Thursday, February 1.

Charlie is generally recognised and categorised as a country singer, however, as his regular supporters will tell you, country music actually only accounts for a very small part of his concert repertoire and music catalogue in general.

It is of course understandable that Charlie has been labelled as a country singer, as he has won just about every award possible in the UK country scene.

A list of awards too numerous to mention in full, he has won Best Songwriter, Best Song, Best Male Vocalist, Best Album and International Country Album of the year.

He has also received a nomination as Best Global Country Artist in the Country Music Association Awards in Nashville. Many of his albums have topped the country charts as well as getting into the British pop charts.

His talent and ability received the ultimate recognition when he was inducted into the British Country Music Hall of Fame in 2011 - “for promoting and for services to the advancement of Country Music in Great Britain and in recognition of outstanding contributions, leadership and service to the British Country Music industry ”. This is an achievement Charlie is very proud of.

Charlie is a performer who is difficult to categorise, as he covers many areas of the musical landscape from ballads, to folk, blues, country, rock ‘n’ roll, pop, gospel and anthem.

PRAYERS

Saint Judeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Novena

May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be glorified, loved and preserved throughout the world now and forever.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, pray for us, St. Jude worker of miracles pray for us.

St. Jude, helper of the hopeless pray for us.

Say this prayer 9 times a day.

By the 8th day your prayers may be answered.

Say it for 9 days and it has never been known to fail.

Publication must be promised.

Thank you St. Jude Instructions: Light your candle and declare out loud what miracle you need right now. Repeat this prayer 9 times for 9 days. Do this at the same time each day, never skip a day. If you do, you need to start over again. On the 9th day give thanks, and say "So be it."

Give it up to Saint Jude and let go of any worry. You will see results in 72 hours. Never use this prayer to manipulate or control anyone. Use it only with the best intentions.

This is the most important part of the entire process YOU MUST pass this miracle prayer onto others. Some people publish it in the paper, others e-mail it to their friends, and others post it in a public building.

IT’S AMAZING how much motoring tech has come on in the past decade or so – but I’m not entirely convinced it’s always a good thing.

Particularly when a little orange light starts to play tricks on you.

The nifty little illumination in question is a dashboard warning light VW fits to its more recent offerings – and many an Audi, SEAT and Skoda, for that matter – that lets you know its on-board tyre pressure sensor thinks you’re about to encounter a puncture.

Having had a Golf give me advance notice of a flat tyre on an outing last year I know that it works tremendously well – except when it doesn’t, because the person who borrowed the car before you admitted to kerbing an alloy a few hours earlier.

In the end it turned out said colleague’s parking ineptitude had knocked the sensor out of sync, everything was fine and I was able to get off scotfree for the rest of my 200-mile journey, but it’s where the light came on that really unnerved me.

Anyone who regularly ventures down the M6 will know there’s a stretch just south of Thelwall Viaduct that’s being upgraded into a smart motorway, and it feels like it goes on forever.

It’s frustrating enough when you’re forced to sit at fifty while all the lorries thunder past obliviously, but when you’re suddenly alerted to the possibility of an imminent puncture and realise there are still several miles of roadworks before you can pull over safely that you start to get worried.

Especially when you remember the car you’re in isn’t even fitted with a space saver. The idea of tackling a dead tyre on an open motorway with only a can of gunk to help is mildly terrifying.

My fear of breaking down on one of these not-sosmart motorways isn’t unjustified, either; only last week a family gave permission for a rather harrowing 999 call which captures the moment their stricken people carrier was punted up the backside by an HGV to be made public.

Properly managed motorways can cope with using the hard shoulder as a fourth lane, but it’s the horribly narrow ones that are still being built that worry me. There were proposals a while ago to limit these stretches to a more palatable two miles long – rather than the 15 or so the longer ones are now – but it seems to have quietly disappeared under the hazy fug of Whitehall bureaucracy.

I’ve always hated the roadworks leading up to smart motorways because they’re the very opposite; with their average 50mph limits that people routinely ignore, constructions sites that are hardly ever frequented and unbearable length they’re anything but clever.

But – if that 999 call is anything to go by – they could even be dangerous. Fingers crossed I don’t get a real puncture, then…

New sporty little Rio out in spring KIA is bringing over a sporty new version of its Rio later this spring.

The new GT-Line fivedoor hatchback is powered by a turbocharged 1.0-litre petrol engine, pumping out 118bhp, and it’s garnished with hot hatch-esque styling cues like 17-inch alloy wheels, twin exhaust outlets and a gloss black roof spoiler.

Kia’s yet to confirm prices, but has said it will be offered here with its sevenyear warranty.

The Kia Rio GT-Line goes on sale here later this spring

THE FIRST new two-door, full-sized Range Rover to be sold in the UK in nearly 30 years is set to be launched at the Geneva Motor Show next month (February 2018).

The new model will be called the SV Coupe, with only 999 being hand-built by Land Rover’s special vehicle division.

The Range Rover was originally launched in 1970 in two-door form only, but currently only the much smaller Range Rover Evoque model is available in this form.

For more information about this model or the full range of vehicles by Land Rover, as well as more information visit landrover.co.uk

Bucks claim bragging rights in landlords v tenants match City of Liverpool 0 Bootle 2

BOOTLE claimed local bragging rights after collecting all three points in the first competitive landlords v tenants derby at the TDP Solicitors Stadium last Tuesday, writes Connor O’Neill.

Goals from Jack McGowan and Carl Peers handed the Bucks a hard-fought win.

Both sides came into this game on the back of good runs too - City had won their last four – while Bootle had won their last two - with their last being a 10-0 win over AFC Darwen.

The Bucks dominated the early possession stats, and should have gone in front on six minutes when Carl Peers sent Jack McGowan in the clear but Purps keeper Graeme McCall stayed big before blocking McGowan’s effort.

McGowan would make amends on 21 minutes when Liam Loughlin found Peers who in return found McGowan – and after his initial effort was blocked by McCall, the forward reacted quickest to fire an unstoppable effort into the top corner of the net.

Bootle continued to carve out openings with Peers stinging the palms of McCall from the edge of the box – before the keeper pushed away Michael Ordish’s free-kick.

COL, however, grew into the game, and after both Tom Peterson and Danny Dalton had headed wide – the Purps best chance of the first half fell the way of John Connolly. The midfielder exchanged passes with Dean Shacklock before letting fly with a curling effort that went just wide of the far post.

Simon Burton’s side, to their credit, started the second half the brighter, with Tom Peterson forcing Ryan Jones in the Bootle into a good save, before the Bucks stopper denied Craig Robinson from close-range.

But on the hour mark, Jones made a save that wouldn’t have looked out of place in the Premier League.

After picking up the ball on the edge of the box, John Connolly drove into the Bootle area before letting fly with a rasping shot that was somehow pushed wide by the Bucks stopper.

With 16 minutes left, the Bucks sealed all three points when Liam Loughlin’s eye-of-needle pass released Peers who, after toying with McCall,coolly stroked the ball into the unguarded net.

Bootle’s home match against Maine Road on Saturday was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

They are scheduled to play Congleton Town on Saturday.

Marine battle back to rescue a point Marine 2 Rushall Olympic 2 MARINE staged an impressive second half come back to rescue a point after going two goals down.

As in the reverse fixture at Shaw Lane, the Mariners found themselves on the back foot in the opening period but an improved second half showing saw them take a point on this occasion.

The Walsall-based club came close to making an early breakthrough as a free-kick floated in from their right reached centre-back Hull, but the ball came off Hull's shoulder rather than head and dropped a yard over the crossbar.

The Pics didn’t have too long to wait for their opening goal as a neat exchange on the edge of the Marine area allowed midfielder Landell to deliver a precise finish.

Spirited display against leaders shows extent of Waterloo progress Vale of Lune 20 Firwood Waterloo 14 FEW sides this season would travel to Lancaster to play league leaders Vale of Lune expecting to come away with anything.

That Firwood Waterloo gave them a good run and came away with a losing bonus point shows just how far this side has come over recent months and full credit to the players and coaching staff who have taken this side to third place in North One West division.

However, despite the numerical advantage, nothing should be taken away from the Merseyside outfit.

Firwood Waterloo opened the scoring with a try from Liam Canning forcing his way over on the back of a tremendous drive from the pack. Nick Dwyer added the conversion with the home side slotting a penalty to allow the visitors a 3-7 advant-

Early in the second period Firwood Waterloo received a second yellow allowing the home side to take the penalty with a converted try affording them a 13-7 lead.

Vale now had their tails up and with a second converted try went 20-7 in front.

Firwood Waterloo refused to concede and came back strongly looking at the least for a losing bonus point, and from a penalty try due to a collapsed scrum on the opposition line they got their just reward.

This Saturday Firwood Waterloo are at home to Rochdale and will be looking to take maximum points.

Remyca beaten by league leaders Silsden 2 Litherland Remyca 1 LITHERLAND Remyca lost ground to league leaders Silsden after being made to pay for a slow start.

Going into the match, second-placed Remyca were 12 points behind Silsden and had hopes of reducing this gap by taking all three points.

But they got off to the worst possible start after conceding two goals in the opening ten minutes.

The opening goal, which was scored in the first minute, came after Forrest flicked the ball onto Hancock, who cut in from the left to side foot into the keeper's far corner.

Silsden doubled their lead only eight minutes later, when a dangerous cross into the box was finished well by Wademan.

Remyca pulled a goal back midway through the second half after a goal mouth scramble.

The referee ruled that the ball had crossed the line and Remyca were back in it.

The visitors piled more men forward but couldn't find an equaliser, leaving them 15 points off the runaway leaders.

Remyca hosts Cammel Liard tonight (Wednesday.)

Remyca visit New Mills on Saturday.

Makeshift team ‘did the club proud’ WATERLOO director of rugby Steve Wood hailed his team’s performance at Vale of Lune but thinks it was a game they should have won.

He said: “We stuck to the gameplan throughout and we are beginning to read the game much better.

“Also we must bare in mind that we have been hit by injury and our backline was quite makeshift but they stepped up to the challenge and did themselves and the club proud.

“We have set a target of a second place finish so every game is now a cup tie.

“We cannot be complaceent as if we are to finish in a play-off spot every point is important.”

PROPERTY MARKET UPDATE AND OUTLOOK FOR 2018 And we’re off…

2017 was a busy year and a welcomed step in the right direction for the Liverpool property market. Looking ahead 2018 appears to be off to a very promising start with a higher level of property enquiries for the period of January than in the previous two years. A sign maybe that increased confidence amongst buyers has emerged and consumers are deciding the time to move is now!

Supply & Demand Insufficient stock to match levels of demand from buyers is beginning to cause an imbalance, this could ultimately drive prices upwards.

In addition to this, interest rates remain low and there is more choice than ever from mortgage lenders, while overseas buyers continue to be attracted by the weak pound. We have also seen large numbers of buy to let investors, particularly from the south heading north to achieve higher rental yields.

Hopefully, signs of increased confidence among buyers will be reflected by renewed vendor confidence and we will see a wider range of properties being made available for sale.

play. These issues may force some landlords to sell their properties.

First time buyers Abolishing Stamp Duty in addition to low interest rates should act as an incentive for first-time buyers hoping to get on to the property ladder in 2018. Schemes such as help to buy and lenders offering higher loan to value mortgages are making this step easier and easier.

It is clear from our experience that first time buyers are seeking good quality family homes finished to an excellent standard, many do not have the funding for a building/refurbishment project, let alone the time. In return vendors of these modern and well-presented homes are achieving a high level of interest and receiving offers at asking price or very close to their desired price.

Can we help??

Whatever your property needs for 2018, Lyons Estates would be delighted to help, please take a moment to visit our branch or call to speak with a member of the team.

Due to the level of interest from first time buyers and buy to let investors we currently have an extensive number of buyers waiting for properties in Bootle, Netherton, Litherland, Anfield and Walton.

For a FREE property valuation call us on 0151 294 3232.

Lettings Demand for lettings will no doubt remain high, while rental availability may be further reduced as new tax changes and landlord licensing schemes come into

Many Thanks Ian Lyons (Director)

Mersey Boroughs ITT Partnership St Mary & St Paul’s C of E Primary School, Prescot, Liverpool, L35 5DN 0151 443 2663 www.merseyitt.org.uk merseyboroughsitt@knowsley.gov.uk “Train in great schools, learn from amazing teachers” If you are thinking of a rewarding career in Primary School teaching, then there can’t be a better way to start than with Mersey Boroughs ITT Partnership.

Based at St Mary & St Paul’s C of E Primary School in Prescot, Liverpool, the partnership is a provider of school based Primary Teacher Training leading to the award of a PGCE with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).

Mersey Boroughs ITT Partnership was established in 2012 by a group of like-minded schools who felt that training in actual schools provided the best route into the teaching profession.

It’s very important that teachers are well equipped with realistic, up to date training for the future and for that reason, the partnership work with exceptional schools across the whole of Merseyside.

Because these schools are of such a high standard, it means that upcoming trainees learn from amazing individuals who are very experienced and exceptional teachers themselves.

Being in a face to face learning situation in schools and the programme being constantly evaluated means that the course is relevant for teaching today giving the trainees a good head start For this reason the training programme provided at Mersey Boroughs ITT Partnership has become a highly valued route into the profession of primary school teaching with a 100% employment record at the end of the course.

Head teachers actively seek to employ from the partnership and feedback has shown that ex trainees’ retention rate in the profession is excellent and some are now moving on to senior roles.

Trainees are guaranteed placements in local schools and benefit from individualised pastoral support both during and beyond their training.

“The information and support throughout the whole process from application to attending has been fantastic”

Teachers who have been through the programme only have great things to say about their career preparation through the partnership:

“From previous university experiences MBITT excel in their preparation and organisation. The materials and delivery of sessions is excellent”

“Train in great schools,

Sefton Advocacy Unit 15 & 16 The Shakespeare Centre, 43-51 Shakespeare Street, Southport, PR8 5AB 01704 500500 info@seftonadvocacy.org

A New Focus on Advocacy Sefton Pensioners’ Advocacy Centre and Sefton Advocacy are very pleased to announce that they are merging and that the new larger charity will be known as Sefton Advocacy.

Following a period of talks and consultation the two charities decided that in order to keep providing high quality advocacy services to the people of Sefton it was in their best interests to merge and become a larger, single charity.

Sefton Pensioners’ Advocacy Centre is currently a leading force in the field of older peoples’ advocacy projects, as one of the largest independent charities with an exceptional local and national reputation. They have over 20 years experience of supporting

the voice of older people with specific focus on people living with Dementia, Older people affected by Cancer, Housing & Care Projects and facilitating five older peoples’ forums across Sefton. Sefton Advocacy’s expertise lies in the fact that it continues to be the only generic service within the Borough that offers one-to-one advocacy, help, information and advice. We have seen a growth of referrals with many more residents turning to our volunteer led service for support throughout the year. As a charity we offer a wide range of benefits to ‘Our Sefton Community’, ensuring that there is a long-established service for anyone with a problem to access.

The merger has come about in order to ensure

that all residents of Sefton can continue to have the support of Advocacy. In these times of austerity, the board’s of both organisations decided that to take advocacy forward in a sustainable way it was in everyone’s best interest to merge. The new charity will be a single place of contact for Advocacy across Sefton and has the potential to develop new and innovative projects and areas of support.

Alison Ayres, Service Manager of Sefton Advocacy, says “Providing the most vulnerable with an independent voice can have a transforming effect upon the individual and

the wider community. This service and voice for Sefton residents will be strengthened by a merging of these two organisations.”

Andrew Booth, Director of Sefton Pensioners’ Advocacy Centre and the new CEO of Sefton Advocacy, said “ The support of Advocates and the strategic role for Advocacy Organisations are needed now more than ever.

This merger will help us provide more one to one independent support for our communities, across all age groups and enable us to grow to meet the needs we, and our population, are identifying.”
