Street flood fears rise again for residents RESIDENTS whose homes were severely damaged in flooding ten years ago believe it could happen again after a recent spate of drainage problems.

In 2010, locals who live on Bulwer Street had to evacuate their homes after sewage water flooded the road and entered their houses, ruining furniture and floorboards.

Some residents had to move into rented accommodation for up to five months while their home was repaired and they say they still have nightmares about the ordeal ten years on. Continued on page 8

On set of Not Just Cooking.

Film maker helps YKids produce their own YouTube show BOOTLE children’s charity, YKids, has launched its own YouTube show on healthy eating after being taught the craft of filmmaking by a company based in Ormskirk.

Barber Green (BG) Digital Community Interest Company was set up by Gene Dolders with the purpose of giving people in the community access to training in all aspects of video production. It also wants to help others by giving them a creative outlet in order to express themselves through a visual medium.

Backed by funding from the National Lottery, BG Digital has been working with YKids to help

them launch a show on YouTube called ‘Not Just Cooking’.

Over three months, BG Digital took YKids through the planning stages for two episodes of the show, and then through the filming and editing of it. The work culminated in a launch at Plaza Cinema in Crosby.

Clare Morgans, CEO of YKids, said the project was “brilliant” and much enjoyed by the children and families that took part.

The Lottery funding also bought the group filming equipment and Clare says they hope to produce more episodes once they are able to secure more funding. More inside

TRIBUTES TO DAD, 44, WHO DIED WATCHING SON PLAYING FOOTBALL Tony O’Neil with son, Joe, and daughter, Georgia

TRIBUTES have been paid to a Bootle dad who passed away when watching his son play football.

Tony O’Neil died on Wednesday, February 19 in Birkenhead where he was watching 11-year-old son, Joe, play for Wrexham AFC at a half-term tournament at a local school.

The 44-year-old, who had left the pitchside to go back to his car for a cup of tea, was found inside the vehicle not

breathing by his son and despite others coming to his aid, he tragically passed away. The cause of death at this stage is not known, but a fundraising page has been set-up which has raised more than £5,000 for his family.

Adam Raby, who was Tony’s friend, created the GoFundMe page. He said: “Tony passed away in his car doing what he loved most - watching his son play football. More on page 8

Online dementia support group in memory of mum now has 18,000 followers Report by Tom Martin A MAN from Litherland who set up an online dementia support group in memory of his mum has gained more than 18,000 supporters from across the globe.

James Dawson created the Vascular Dementia group on Facebook after his mum, Bernadette, passed away seven years ago after a battle with a condition known as Dementia with Lewy Bodies.

The group initially gathered interest at a local level through his own friends and family, but it quickly spread to reach hundreds and then thousands of people across the UK and abroad.

To date, there are currently more than 18,200 people who are getting regular updates from the group, which James' mum and dad, John and Bernadette includes advice and information on furand they share a lack of understanding of dementher specialist support.

James told the Champion: “I think it's vital to tia.

“I read people’s posts every day and advise when I bring together as many people as possible in the group because they may be at their wits’ end as they need to but with nearly 18,200 members most of the time the advice is already there. care for their loved ones.”

“What I continue to see since I started the group is James began caring full time for his mum in 2011 and had to give up his job as a nursing assistant at people who are left devastated by both caring for their loved one or by having to put them in a care Aintree Hospital and move into his family home.

He said: “It was a terrible time and there were home.

“People still don’t know how to react when a loved some very difficult moments but I wanted to stay one is struck down and in 2020 I find that very with her.

“I thank God I was a nursing assistant because it sad.

“I’ll never forget caring for my mum when I see prepared me for the years I spent caring for my posts about people saying they care for a loved one mum and I did the best I could.

“The group is as important to me today as it was but they’re totally drained.

“Hopefully by offering a small piece of hope and back in 2014 because there are people desperate comfort they can get a better understanding and out there all over the world in need of help.

“Our group has brought the entire world together share in the care of their loved one.”

Defib installed at pub in memory of regular A DEFIBRILLATOR has been placed at a Bootle pub in memory of a regular who lost his life.

John Henry died in January 2018 at the age of 58 after falling ill and emergency services believed that a defibrillator may have saved his life, but there was none nearby.

This inspired his daughter, Nicola Westacott, who is the licensee of The Alexandra, on Marsh Lane, to fundraise more than £1,000 to get a defib placed outside the pub.

John, who was known locally as Irish John, was a regular in the pub so the life-saving piece of medical equipment has been placed there in his memory.

Nicola organised a charity night at the pub in order to raise the money to pay for it and also found support in the form of the Crosby and District Lions Club.

Nicola said: “I was talking to a friend about

what we were doing and looking for help with further fundraising. I was told about Crosby Lions and their involvement in this area and decided to approach them.”

Nicola contacted the Crosby Lions to ask for support and after consideration, the club were delighted to become a partner and provided the rest of the money.

Lion President Graham Wise said: “We were delighted to be able to support such a worthwhile initiative as there are not enough defibrillators available to the general public.

Although most schools and sports centres have them now, these are not available 24/7.

We understand that this one has already been used twice since its installation!”

Crosby Lions were also pleased to be able to present a commemorative plaque that honours John, which has been placed next to the defibrillator.

YKids youngsters go before the cameras to take part in film for YouTube Alex Greenwood in action for England

Greenwood named in England squad for SheBelieves Cup in March BOOTLE footballer Alex Greenwood has been selected for national duty as England prepare to defend the SheBelieves Cup in March.

The 26-year-old defender, who plays for Lyon in the French Division 1, is part of England manager Phil Neville’s 23-player squad.

The Lionesses will defend their title at the SheBelieves Cup in the United States from March 5-11, having won the annual invitational tournament for the first time in 2019.

England will play hosts United States, Japan and Spain in their first fixtures.

Neville said: “This is an exciting moment for the England Women's team. With eight of our squad under the age of 23 we are focusing on developing the incredible young talent we have in the women's game with a keen eye on Euro 2021 in 16 months' time."

Greenwood has 43 caps for England and at club level she has played for Everton, Notts County, Liverpool and Manchester United before she moved to France at the start of this season.

Lyon are widely considered one of the best women’s teams in the world having won the UEFA Champions League six times and the French League last season.

Litter volunteers brighten up town BOOTLE became a little bit cleaner thanks to the efforts of volunteers who picked up litter and planted fresh flowers.

Bootle Action Group focussed on the Strand Road area of the town earlier this month when the group filled their bin bags with dropped rubbish.

Despite the windy conditions, the volunteers made sure they were out long enough to also plant some flowers in an effort to brighten up the area.

Quick Floors, on Hawthorne Road Parents and children at Plaza Cinema at the launch of Not Just Cooking.

Report by Tom Martin

A FORMER flooring store in Bootle could be reopened as a restaurant.

Quick Floors, on Hawthorne Road, has applied to Sefton Council to become a new eatery in the town.

A decision is yet to be made by the local authority.

From page 1

Clare said: “We have been working with families on a project about healthy eating and cooking. We made the cooking shows to involve them and also give them the skills of YouTubing and how to make a film.

“They have been involved behind the scenes as well as getting in front of the camera.

“It was brilliant. We had a private screening at the Plaza which made it really special and the feedback was incredible. Everyone who took part absolutely loved the whole project and Gene, who worked with us, was amazing.”

Clare says they have been asking the children what else they would like to do with regard to more film-making and a suggestion was to make a history show about Bootle in the style of Horrible Histories. In the past the group has made an eight-minute film about zombies in the Bootle Strand Shopping Centre!

BG CIC is currently working on creating a pilot episode for a TV show to be set and filmed in Merseyside using local actors and crew.

Gene said: “We are very interested in hearing from charities or other community groups that would like to work in partnership with us to promote well being and

Report by Henry James KINDNESS flowers were placed around a village following the death of television presenter Caroline Flack.

The bouquets were left at various parts of Melling by staff at the Bootle Arms pub.

The message on them encourages people to be kind to one another.

Caroline Flack, who was most famous for presenting Love Island, took her own life earlier this month.

She previously spoke of how she had suffered from depression.

The bouquets read: “After the extremely sad news of Caroline Flack’s passing, regardless of personal views nobody should feel that was the only escape from a problem.

“So we have shared some ‘kindness bouquets’ along with a positive message and a voucher for two free drinks.

“Please keep the flowers if you enjoy them, give them to a stranger and make their day or give them to a loved one.

“The voucher is to give people the opportunity to get out and talk.

“Don’t suffer in silence and always be kind. Let’s make a difference.”

Man whose wife died after slipping on icy path is left utterly devastated Report by Tom Martin A HEARTBROKEN husband says his life has been “destroyed” by his wife passing away after she slipped on an icy pavement.

Brian Charleson lost his 59-year-old wife Jean after she fell when walking on Park Street in January 2019 and broke her hip.

She spent seven months in hospital due to a series of complications, including sepsis, and she died in August 2019.

Brian’s heartache has recently turned to anger and he claims Park Street should have been gritted

by Sefton Council because it’s a “dangerous road” for pedestrians during icy conditions.

The local authority has responded by saying they grit over 470km of major carriageways and footways in the borough during cold weather and “it is not possible to grit every road and pathway”.

Brian said: “Park Street has a lot of pensioners living on there and there’s also a bus stop and two doctors’ surgeries so it can be very dangerous for people when it’s icy.

“Why was this road not gritted? I’ve lost so much for a little bit of grit. Is it because of cut backs? I don’t want this to happen to anyone else.”

Brian met Jean when they were both pupils at Hillside High School. They would have celebrated their 40th anniversary this August.

Brian said: “Jean slipped and was lying on the freezing ground for an hour and a half waiting for an ambulance. People come over to help and put coats over her and I stayed with her while the ambulance got there.

“She was in hospital for seven months and had lots of complications. She died of organ failure and sepsis.”

Brian said he has been left “distraught” by his wife’s death and had to be sectioned after he tried

to take his own life.

He said: “I just want a bit of justice for my wife. It’s not right that a perfectly healthy women can die like this. It has destroyed my whole family.”

A spokesperson for Sefton Council said: “Our deepest sympathies go out to Mrs Charleson's family at this difficult time.

“During periods of bad weather our Highways teams grit over 470km of carriageway and major streets throughout the borough as part of our Winter Service Policy.

“In accordance with national guidelines, priority must be given to major carriageways and footways.

“It is not possible for the council to grit every road and footway.

“Sefton Council works closely with a number of partners to offer wellbeing support services for residents in the borough and we would encourage anybody who needs help to contact any of the organisations below: Living Well Sefton (0300 323 0181) Reach Men's Centre (07504565764) Samaritans (116 123)”

Hairdressing students compete to be cut above the competitors!

A REGIONAL heat for a new hairdressing competition was held in Bootle as students and apprentices looked to prove they are a cut above the rest!

Hugh Baird College hosted one of six regional events for The Concept Hair Apprentice of the Year competition, which is taking place across England and Wales.

The competition saw salon owners, training managers and college lecturers enter students and apprentices into a series of live competitions to give them the chance to show off their skills, creativity and flair across five distinct categories – styling, hair up, barbering, colouring and avant-garde.

The winners of each category then qualified for the Grand Final at the L’Oréal Professional Academy in London in March, where they will compete to be named the first ever Concept Hair Apprentice of the Year.

Category themes included Peaky Blinders, The Great Gatsby, prom hair and ‘fire and ice’.

Jodie McCormick, Hugh Baird College curriculum manager for hairdressing, said: “We

were really thrilled to have the opportunity to host this year’s Concept Hair Apprentice of the Year competition at Hugh Baird College.

“Staff and students from colleges across the country enthusiastically participated in the day’s activities and some fantastic work was produced, pushing the boundaries of creative hairdressing and show casing the amazing talent of our future stylists. We look forward to next year’s event.”

Trisha McKenna, Hugh Baird College BTEC Level 2 Hairdressing student, said: “When I heard about the Concept Hair Apprentice of the Year competition I wasn’t sure I was ready to enter, however I found out there was an avant-garde category which completely changed my mind as I thoroughly enjoy the creative side of both hair and makeup so for me this category was perfect.”

“Although I didn’t win, I am glad I entered the competition, it gave me insight into how the industry works and the standard of work that is expected. Now I know what is expected, I will be back next year, even more prepared and ready to take first place.”

Drug driver over the limit Care sector jobs fair to be four days after taking cocaine A BOOTLE man has lost his driving licence after being caught behind the wheel with a metabolite of cocaine still in his system four days after taking the drug.

Robert Kennedy, 48, of Park Street,appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court, where he pleaded guilty to driving on New Fort Way, Bootle, with 172 micrograms of benzoylecgonine per litre of blood - the legal limit is 50mcg/l.

Benzoylecgonine is formed in the liver by the metabolism of cocaine.

The court heard he was stopped by police at 3.40pm on August 20 of last year for being uninsured.

He was arrested and given a blood test after a roadside saliva test showed the presence of cannabis.

The prosecutor said that Kennedy had a conviction from 2016 for failing to provide a speci-

men for analysis when driving or attempting to drive. Due to having two drink or drug related driving offences in ten years it meant he was subject to a mandatory three year ban, he said. .

Solicitor Mark Ellis, representing Kennedy, said: “It is a great shame for the defendant to come before the court and receive a three year ban.

“The offence took place on a Tuesday when he had taken the drugs on the previous Friday night. Benzoylecgonine is a metabolite of cocaine.

“Many people find themselves driving around unaware that they are over the limit for it.

“There was no impairment of his driving at all, nevertheless the court must impose the three year ban.

“The knock on effect is that he is

a self employed bricklayer and he has to get from one location to another by his own volition. He knows that in the fullness of time that ban will cause him great hardship.”

Mr Ellis drew attention to the current discrepancy in law that gives magistrates the discretion to grant a person caught drink driving an opportunity to reduce their driving ban by a quarter taking a drink drive awareness course. Drug drivers are currently not given the same opportunity.

“A drug driver who has not been impaired has to come to court and get the full hit,” Mr Ellis said.

The magistrates fined Kennedy £400, ordered that he pay costs and victim surcharge of £125, and banned him from driving for the mandatory minimum of three years.

held at Feelgood Factory

A JOBS fair for careers in the care sector will be held in Netherton.

New Directions, one of Sefton’s social care providers, is staging the event at the Feelgood Factory, on Glovers Lane, between 10.30am and 3.30pm on Monday, March 2.

Staff from the organisation will be on hand to brief attendees on the wide range of services operated by its 500-strong team for people across the borough with support requirements due to disabilities, age or mental health conditions.

They will also provide details of a number of permanent full and part-time positions that New Directions is looking to fill immediately in two of its key services reablement and

domiciliary care.

Reablement team members support patients throughout Sefton who have been discharged from hospital, or people who have had an illness, fall or other crisis at home.

The aim is to help them regain their life skills and confidence, and to maintain their independence, while also reducing pressure on hospital beds.

Meanwhile, the domiciliary care team supports older people in the south of the borough who still live by themselves.

Staff provide help with personal care, household tasks and a range of other activities that enable clients to remain at home and maintain their quality of life.

New Directions HR manager, Adam Drury, said: “We’re actively looking to recruit new staff at this event so we’re hoping for a very good turnout on the day.

“The jobs on offer are community based, with guaranteed hours and suitable for both drivers and walkers.

“It’s an ideal opportunity for people to develop a career in social care, and at the same time to provide a valuable service to local people who use these services by helping them to remain independent for longer.”

Anyone unable to attend the Feelgood Factory event can learn more about the opportunities on offer by ringing New Directions on 0151 705 0300 or by visiting www.ndirections.co.uk.

Man who threatened off-licence customer with potato peeling knife given jail term A THIEF who stole alcohol from an offlicence in Netherton and then threatened a customer with a potato peeling knife did it so he would be sent back to jail.

David McCrimmon, who was drunk, initially put a bottle of cider from Kelly’s Discount Booze store, on Kirkstone Road North, in his jacket and then asked for the Jack Daniels.

When he was given it he walked out the premises and the female assistant followed him and asked for it back.

He just took the cap off, threw it at her and drank from the bottle.

The assistant went back into the store and five minutes later 44-year-old McCrimmon came back in and was “drunkenly rambling” and a customer Kevin Ball told him to leave.

McCrimmon became aggressive and took a potato peeling knife from his sock. He then said: “I just want to get arrested again. I’m part of the institution this is why I have to do this.”

Mr Ball picked up a yellow ‘wet floor’ sign to defend himself and McCrimmond threw the knife to the floor and sat on the floor until the police arrived, said Chris Taylor, prosecuting.

Mr Ball later told how he was “shaken

and feared for my safety. I felt threatened by his actions.”

Liverpool Crown Court heard on Monday, February 24 that McCrimmon has 15 convictions for 21 previous offences including attempting to rob bookmaking shops.

At one raid in Blackpool he produced a knife but when disarmed he sat down and drank a cup of tea until the police arrived.

He was also seen at the amusement arcade at Southport with a bottle of vodka and a knife and he told staff he had only got out of prison that morning and wanted to go back.

On a later occasion he was found in Chapel Street, Southport, with a pair of scissors.

Paul Lewis, defending, said that McCrimmon had “a need and it is a sad need” to be in prison which he feels is a place of safety.

McCrimmon, of no fixed address, was jailed for a total of 18 months after admitting theft, possessing a knife and threatening with a bladed article.

Judge Robert Warnock said that he had gone to the shop armed to feed his drink addiction. “You undoubtedly have an appalling record and I accept you find prison to be the place you want to be”

Business owner thanks council for support A BOOTLE business owner has praised a council initiative for helping him set-up his electrical wholesale store.

Marc Redfern opened Service Electrical Distributors Limited in August last year at the Kingfisher Business Park and relied on the support of InvestSefton.

They helped Marc identify local networking and business support opportunities, allowing him to grow his business and form key partnerships with social housing providers, electrical contractors, hotels, commercial and industrial customers, end users, education providers and the general public.

Marc said: “It was a massive and scary decision leaving a large successful company to start my own business, but I firmly believed in my ability and the ability of my employees.

Drainage problem is causing road to flood, fear residents From page 1

These concerns have come rushing back to residents recently. Two weeks ago the road was flooded and then again on Sunday, February 23, when they woke up to find their road looking more like a river.

Thankfully, the water wasn’t high enough to enter their houses, which are slightly raised compared to the road, and United Utilities were able to come out and get rid of the water.

Residents believe Sunday’s flood wasn’t caused by the recent wet weather but another case of sewage and drainage problems similar to 2010.

A 62-year-old resident, who did not want to be named, said: “Me and my husband are very anxious because of what happened ten years ago. The flood back then was one of the worst things that has

ever happened to us and I feel so sorry when this happens to other people on the news because we know what it’s like.

“It’s dirty water coming from the drains. It’s not rainwater because sometimes when it rains really badly in storms the road is fine.

But then in the summer it can flood.

“This latest incident was very concerning and it’s a worry every time it happens now now. It’s also a problem because we don’t know who to contact when it happens.

“On Sunday I couldn’t get hold of the council so I tried 999 and spoke to the fire brigade but they said they won’t come out unless it gets into houses and it becomes a health concern.

“United Utilities eventually came out with lorries and whatever they did worked because the water went away. It’s a problem which needs to be properly fixed.”

Taxi driver delivered cocaine to pay off his debts from gambling Report by Lynda Roughley A DRUG dealing taxi driver from Crosby spotted behaving suspiciously was caught redhanded with drugs and almost ÂŁ2,000 cash.

Adam Rice denied supplying to passengers but admitted delivering cocaine wraps to drug users to pay off his gambling debts.

Jailing him for three years on Wednesday, February 19, Judge David Aubrey, QC, said, “You had a gambling addiction and you decided to gamble with your liberty in the hope you would not be apprehended. “The message must go out to all that if any taxi driver takes the decision to be involved in Class A controlled drugs and their supply, they will lose their liberty. “Inevitably a case such as this has an impact upon honest hard working taxi drivers who ply their legitimate trade. “You were plying an illegitimate trade of drug supplying, there must be a deterrence,� he said.

Judge Aubrey sentenced 29-year-old Rice, of Chesterfield Road, to three years imprisonment.

He had pleaded guilty to possessing cocaine with intent to supplying two offences of possessing cannabis.

Derek Jones, prosecuting, told Liverpool Crown Court that on the evening of February 10 last year police saw Rice driving a Vauxhall Astra on Gorsey Lane, Litherland.

A man got into the vehicle and it drove off but the man got out again after a short distance and the suspicious officers stopped Rice in nearby Pendle Drive.

When the vehicle was searched they found 17 wraps of cocaine and ÂŁ1,900 cash.

In the glove box they found two snap bags of cannabis bush and cannabis resin, cigarette papers and cannabis grinders.

Rice admitted that he had been supplying drugs for two weeks and would get messages to deliver wraps to customers but did not supply passengers.

Mark Phillips, defending, said Rice had been a taxi driver for four years. He had been given the 17 wraps earlier that day and would be telephoned telling him where to take them to.

The cannabis in the car was for his own use.

At the time he was sleeping on a couch at his mother ’s home and so had the cannabis and paraphernalia in his car as he had nowhere else to put them. “He is a decent young man and the offences spanned a short period of time. He is before the court for the first time,� said Mr Phillips, adding that Rice has already been punished in many ways.

Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram wants to bring bus services under local authority control.

especially early in the morning, late at night and at weekends, and too many people find the current system to be confusing, unreliable and expensive.

This has to change.”

The franchise model will mean bus companies will be contracted and paid to carry out services with fares going to the local authority. It will mean the authority can use money from the most profitable routes to subsidise the less profitable.

Sefton Central MP Bill Esterson said the announcement was “hugely encouraging.”

Mr Esterson said: “Deregulation of buses has failed. It has led to private companies focusing on the routes that make money, leaving many communities cut off or struggling with very infrequent inadequate services.

“We have seen this problem in Melling, Aintree, Lydiate and Maghull where already inadequate services were cut further and in Ince Blundell which faces the potential loss of its service.

“Under re-regulation those profits can be taken from the best routes and ploughed into the rest of the network, putting buses on later at night and earlier in the morning, and on less busy routes.”

BUS services in Merseyside could be franchised as part of a London-style public transport system for the city region, according to Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram.

Franchising would mean operators would have to be licensed by the Combined Authority to operate specific routes, ending the current free-for-all.

Mr Rotheram, who is running for re-election in May, admits however, that this would need “significant investment” well above the current £64million the Combined Authority currently spends each year on the city region’s bus network.

Combined Authority papers just published recommend that bus franchising, is the “leading option” for the future of the city region’s bus network.

Merseyside’s bus services were state run until 1986 when private companies were allowed to operate whatever services they wished on a profitable basis. The role of local government was restricted to subsidising “socially necessary” services.

However, the concern for a long time has been that while the busiest routes are well served, some communities in Merseyside have big gaps in their public transport provision, putting residents at an economic and social disadvantage.

The Metro Mayor says franchising would mean better bus services for areas currently isolated and poorly served under the current system.

Mr Rotheram said: “Our communities rely on buses to connect them to work, education and training, family, hospitals and public services, but the current system is letting people down.

“Buses don’t run at the times they need them,

Thinking of Moving House?

Moving house, re-mortgaging or dealing with the sale of a property when handling a Probate matter can be a stressful process at the best of times. When choosing which solicitor to instruct to deal with the legal aspects of the transaction, you need to be confident that they can handle the matter professionally, efficiently and still provide a personal service.

We have served the local community since the early 1800’s and have dealt with a huge variety of property transactions over the years.

Our conveyancing team is one of the most experienced the area. We offer a high quality service and the Conveyancing Department at Dickinson Parker Hill was the first in Ormskirk to be awarded the Conveyancing Quality Scheme and was one of the first firms to be awarded this in the country. So many conveyancing firms no longer offer the type of service which we believe a quality, professional conveyancing service demands.

We pride ourselves on providing a high quality service mixing new technology with old fashioned service and professionalism.

Your matter will be handled by an experienced conveyancer, rather than just an automated computer system and you will be able to deal with the conveyancer handling your matter, from start to finish, rather than having your transaction handled by a large impersonal team of file handlers.

Our offices are always open during normal office hours and you will receive a warm welcome should you require an appointment.

Our team has a wide range of experience in all aspects of Conveyancing work including, sales, purchases, re-mortgages, new builds. Local Authority Right to Buy schemes, equity release mortgages and we also have experience in shared ownership properties. We can deal with Help to Buy Government Equity Schemes and of course

Help to Buy ISA’s. We are also able to give advice on Occupiers Consent and Deeds of Guarantee. Whilst we proudly serve our local area including Ormskirk, Southport and throughout Lancashire and Merseyside, we are also able to deal with conveyancing matters throughout England and Wales.

PROPERTY MATTERS

We can visit you at home if you are unable to call into the office and at the end of the conveyancing process we offer free storage for legal documents such as title deeds, Wills and Powers of Attorney. We can also provide advice in other areas of law including Family, Wills and Probate, Inheritance and Tax Planning, Lasting Powers of Attorney, Court of Protection matters, Employment, Accidents and Claims and a wide range of Commercial Law for business clients. We are also one of the few firms in the North West to offer the services of a Notary Public.

We all have our part to play in reducing flood risk

Junction redesign work has hardly improved traffic flow

I read with interest the Champion article by Jim Sharpe concerning flood risk and development.

The Maghull Town Council leader put the blame for lack of attention in managing flood risk on current guidance being insufficiently robust.

This may well be partly the case, but the answer is in the article.

Sefton Council is the ‘Lead Local Flood Authority ’, so why does it allow planning applications with only 30% ‘headroom’ for climate change rather than the 40% required?

Most of the urban areas of Sefton are designated ‘Critical Drainage Areas’ and, as such, any new development attached to the current housing areas should be shown to achieve a reduction in flood risk from the pre-development condition.

I write in shock at the amount of work that has gone into the junction on Fleetwood’s Lane and Edge Lane and no improvement has been made.

I regularly come down the Brooms Cross road and come through the junction on my way home and it’s been so long to get that small section of work done.

First they inserted the new lane to allow traffic to flow better then left it unfinished for sometime.

Then weeks later they closed Edge Lane to start the works and cause weeks of upset and delays.

What we have been left with is a reduction in traffic flow on Edge Lane, a

This cannot be the case if the above is correct.

However, we all have our part to play.

Every time there is a new house or house extension; every time someone extends their driveway or parking area; there is a potential increase in rainwater run-off to the sewers, increasing flood risk.

Sefton Planning Policies and the Building Regulations are supposed to avoid this, but there are many developments locally where the council have failed to enforce their own policies, the building regulations or drainage designs consented at planning stage.

Come on Sefton – shape up!

Phil Hunter, Blundellsands.

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

huge pavement that sticks out for who knows what reason other than to hinder traffic flow, and a flow lane that allows some traffic to flow a little better.

Given the amount of traffic that comes down Edge Lane and not Buckley Hill the design is a bit silly.

Add on the fact that since the ‘rat run’ was closed off Moor Lane the congestion there is now worse than when it was before they put a spade in the ground.

Some one has messed up!

J Purcell, By email

Starmer not the man to rebuild the Labour Party I have read in the Champion that Bill Esterson MP is supporting Keir Starmer to be the next leader of the Labour Party.

To be quite honest, none of Labour front bench members deserve to be the next leader of this party which was started by the working classes of this country.

Mr Starmer was one of the people who was responsible for the Labour Party losing the last election.

He was among the most passionate supporters of Remain in the shadow cabinet.

He pushed the leadership towards reneging on it’s 2017 commitment to respect the referendum result and instead switched to campaigning for another vote.

Mr Starmer has openly said that he may not follow the letter of the Labour manifesto if he becomes leader.

This was something which he supported when it was being formulated and adopted.

The Labour Party will have to be very careful who they vote for as their leader, as the party has already been cast out into the wilderness for far too long.

Don’t let that wilderness turn into forever.

You ignore the voting public at your peril.

Labour have lost their way and need a better navigator than Mr Starmer.

Little progress except rubble

Cyclists on pavements Pupils need to put pedestrians at risk be supervised

For the past two weeks I’ve been away from Maghull and expected great progress on the nightmare traffic misery at the Liverpool Road/ Northway junction.

There are now various piles of rubble which have been moved around the site, possibly for aesthetic reasons, but of actual progress there seems to be little evidence.

Before I left on holiday I saw labour at the site, counting two men with shovels, two men with clipboards and a digger driver.

If this project were in China, the job would be finished by now, and would probably have a couple of hospitals built on the site!

I am sure I am not the only person to feel intimidated and fearful of injury by cyclists who ride on pavements.

They are usually older teenagers/ young males who ride at speed in a threatening manner and who seem very reluctant to ride on the road.

Yes, roads are dangerous places but if they don't feel confident of their ability to join the traffic safely then they shouldn't be out on bikes.

It’s not up to pedestrians to get out of their way.

Pedestrians shouldn’t walk on the pavement in fear of serious injury by inconsiderate cyclists who are contra-

John H Miller, Lydiate

vening the Road Traffic Offenders Act of 1988 which states it is only children aged 12 years and under who are legally allowed to ride on the sidewalk/pavement.

I do understand our police force is over-stretched but fear it’s only a matter of time before some unfortunate pedestrian is seriously injured.

I wonder if the cyclists or parents of these cyclists involved have adequate insurance to cover claims against them?

Re: Recent letters about the amount of litter around Crosby.

I live off Myers Road East, and we have to put up with some of the children who attend Sacred Heart lower school dropping litter when they are walking there and back to the higher school in Liverpool Road to attend some lessons at various times of the day unsupervised.

Maybe to cut down on the amount of litter maybe the school could supervise them.

Two former Optisavers branches reopen under new ownership TWO opticians in south Sefton which were previously owned by Optisavers, have been taken over and former staff rehired.

The branches of Optisavers on Liverpool Road, Crosby, and in Bootle’s Strand Shopping Centre, closed down last December after the company went into administration.

The empty shop units have been taken over and are now called Crosby Village Eyecare and Bootle Eyecare.

A spokesperson said: “All staff have been retained. They had other jobs but wanted to come back.

“They had worked in the old company for many years so they are all good friends and loved their jobs and loved working in the communities of Bootle and Crosby.

“Robert Deacon who was the ophthalmic optician in Crosby for the last 23 years and had obviously looked after patients’ eye care since

Staff at Bootle Eyecare

they were young children is also back at Crosby shop.

“The customers have been calling in to say how happy they are to see shops open and all the staff who they were fond of back in place.”

Report by Henry James A STUDENT at Edge Hill University is to appear on a BBC documentary this Thursday (February 27) called The Truth About…Takeaways.

In the programme, Marc Cox, eats takeaways for every meal over a period of a fortnight.

The 21-year-old, who is from Crosby and is studying Psychology and Criminology, was one of 15 volunteers who had to eat two takeaways every day for two weeks, from a list of the nation’s biggest sellers, which included fish and chips, pizza, Indian and Marc Cox Chinese.

Before and after, he was put through a number of tests - from blood sugar levels and body fat to gut bacteria, mental wellbeing and cognitive sharpness.

The results, which will be shown on the programme, will reveal what takeaways are really doing to peoples’ bodies, and the shocking truth about the impact they can have on our brains.

Following the programme Marc feared his gut

was going to ‘burst’, his mental health deteriorated and his face broke out in spots.

He said: “I was mostly was really tired, and felt really lethargic and had such a lack of motivation. It was fine for the first few days but after a while I had trouble sleeping and I felt agitated.”

The experiment was filmed as part of the BBC's The Truth About documentary series.

This episode, The Truth About Takeaways will be presented by journalist Nikki Fox.

Charity concert at town hall

Money, not cards, make my world go round LET’S talk about money.

Not how much or how little of the stuff you or I have, but what you can - or might be able - to do with it.

For a start, perhaps someone can set me straight about how I fancy I must be misunderstanding about an app (how I hate that word) which enables you to persuade your central heating to switch itself on while you are on your way home.

It means you will never again have to arrive at a freezing house which is good but it then claims that this can save you ‘up to’ £120 in electricity bills.

How? OK, you don’t have to sit shivering while the heating gets to work, but surely the actual cost should, in fact, go up. The boiler switches itself on, say, an hour earlier than it otherwise would whether you’re there to suffer it or not? You would turn it off again at the same time surely?

But back to money in general.

The Bank of England has introduced a plastic £20 note.

I hate these plastic things.

I don’t know how much money I have lost by accidentally pulling out one of these slippery, nonfolding notes in £5 and £10 form.

And I don’t want to find out by distributing the few £20s I have around the country every time I fumble into my pockets for the odd bit of change I might need.

Incidentally, I had some experience of these plastic horrors long before they appeared here.

Back in the early 1980s the Isle of Man had introduced horrid plastic 50p notes.

But then I was only there for a few days in November so they were little more than curiosities.

We’d never have those things in the UK, would we?

Well, we didn’t, we had the far more sensible 50p piece and proper floppy notes of higher denominations.

Far worse news came with the announcement of slippery £20 notes though.

Apparently the Bank of England reckons that by the end of the decade only 10% of all transactions in shops will be by old fogies such as I - everyone else will be fiddling around with various cards.

And whoever said cards would speed up your shopping never looked at what actually happens.

Fumble for whichever card is likely to have money still on it, find it hasn’t, fumble for a better card, decide at the second go as to which way up it should be.

Start up a conversation with the bloke or woman at the till and studiously ignore the increasing line of folk trying desperately to get their bags packed and get out of the store.

Now I confess that I do use cards - sparingly.

I buy my cigarettes (in hundreds) with my Barclaycard and more expensive items (such as fuel for my boat) with my switch card, but I am determined (God and the Grim Reaper willing) to be among the last, if not the very last person actually to buy my groceries with the coin and slippery plastic of the Realm.

I believe too that some shops are refusing to accept cash.

Well, quite apart from this meaning I would never use that emporium on principle even if it did sell cigs and diesel fuel, I honestly thought that it was illegal not to accept legal cash - though some companies such as EasyJet apparently have that rule.

But since it clearly is not illegal so to do, then it damn well should be!

Pity the folk who still do not have any credit cards - or perhaps have been refused one.

Turn up at John Lennon Airport with your piggy bank full of 50p coins and you’re out of luck for your hoped-for flight to wherever.

A WIDE range of live music will be on offer at a charity concert to be held at Bootle Town Hall.

The charity concert will take place in Bootle Town Hall on Saturday, March 21 at 7.45pm and money raised from the event will be donated to Zoe’s Place.

Taking part in the concert will be the massed choirs of Liverpool Male Voice Choir, Aughton Male Voice Choir, the Queen’s Island Victoria Male Choir from Belfast and the Lydiate Concert Band.

The guest conductor for the evening is Dr Alwyn Humphreys MBE from Wales.

Guest soloist is Sarah-Jane Gibson, originally from South Africa but has been living in Northern Ireland while she completes a PHD in Choral Music at Queen’s University, Belfast.

Tickets are available by calling 0151 526 4313. They are priced at £8.

Former Liverpool player and mental health advocate, Jason McAteer, with children already enrolled in the programme.

Liverpool FC charity to roll out mental health programme to schools Report by Tom Martin CHILDREN in Sefton schools will be taught how to recognise the signs of mental health issues, look at ways to improve the situation and where to go if they have concerns.

Liverpool FC’s official charity, the LFC Foundation, has launched a new 12-week mental health project in partnership with Action for Children, which will be delivered in schools across Merseyside.

Matt Parish, LFC Foundation director, said: “This new investment will allow us to expand our current mental health strategy and increase resources and provision across our programmes.

“Research indicates that early intervention in chil-

dren’s mental health is really important so we know our new schools programme with Action for Children will provide essential knowledge and understanding of mental health, give children the confidence to talk about their feelings and equip them with coping strategies to support them.”

Former Liverpool player and mental health advocate, Jason McAteer, added: “It’s great to see the Foundation investing more money and resource into mental health programmes and continuing its commitment to positively promoting mental wellbeing.

“I’ve had the opportunity to see some of their fantastic work in action and see the difference it makes.

“I have been very open about my personal struggles with mental health and I think it’s so important to continue an honest conversation about mental health to breakdown the stigma that is often attached to it.”

Louisa was born in Liverpool, and grew up in a street in Bootle, which has now been knocked down. She now lives in Skelmersdale.

She married, Leonard, and they had three children together: Noel, Leonard and Patricia. Her husband died when he was 58 and she was 48 and she never re-married.

Today, Louisa, also has four grandchildren, 15 great- grandchildren, and seven-great-great grandchildren!

Report by Henry James A CENTENARIAN believes the secret to a long life is “not to smoke, not to drink and not to have a husband!”

Louisa Sedgwick celebrated her 100th birthday on Wednesday, February 19 at the home of her daughter, Patricia Halligan and received telegrams from the Queen and the Department for Work and Pensions.

There was then a surprise party on Sunday, February 23 at the Five Ways in Ormskirk attended by her family.

Friends from her local church were invited too and there were about 70

to the Concourse shopping centre once or twice a week.

She also enjoys meals out with her friends. She enjoys holidays still and visits Blackpool and goes on cruises.

Her first holiday abroad was when she was 74 with 19 members of her family.

When asked about the secret of her long life, her great grandchild, Rebecca Harrison, said: “She believes the secret is not to smoke, not to drink and not to have a husband!

“She has one or two Snowballs at Christmas and other than that she does not drink.

Samantha Womack and Cameron Blakely to revive roles in show

SAMANTHA Womack and Cameron Blakely will revive their much loved roles as Morticia and Gomez Addams in the new UK & Ireland Tour of The Addams Family.

The show is a musical comedy, with book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, the creators of multi award-winning Jersey Boys, and music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa, based on the characters created by Charles Addams.

This follows a highly successful premiere tour in 2017.

The 2020 Tour will play at the Liverpool Empire Theatre from Tuesday 11 to Saturday, August 15. Further casting is to be announced.

Samantha Womack is best known for her long-running role as Ronnie Mitchell in BBC1’s EastEnders.

Most recently, Samantha guest starred in last year’s series of Silent Witness and she has also played Tanya Dawson for three series of the hit comedy Mount Pleasant, Ingrid in Home Again, Ruth in Babes in the Wood, Imogen in Imogen’s Faceand Mandy in the hugely popular Game On. Samantha's film credits include the box office breaking Kingsman: The Golden Circle and Kingsman: The Secret Service.

Her stage credits include Nellie Forbush in the Lincoln Center Theater's Tony Award-winning production of South Pacific (Barbican Theatre & UK Tour), Michael Grandage’s West End production of Guys & Dolls opposite Patrick Swayze (Piccadilly Theatre) and Peter Hall’s production of Pinter’s Betrayal (Theatre Royal Bath).

Most recently, Samantha starred in The Girl on the Train in the West End and on a UK Tour.

Cameron Blakely’s previous theatre credits include the role of Thenardier in Les Misérables, a role he played for two years in London’s West End.

Cameron was also part of the 25thAnniversary at the O2, where he played Bamatabois.

Other credits include Smee in Stiles and Drewe’s Peter Pan at the Adelphi Theatre and Fagin in Oliver!at The Watermill Theatre.

He has also appeared in many productions at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre, including A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet and The Taming of the Shrew.

Most recently, he played Dennis Dupree in the UK Tour of Rock of Ages, and Lex Hogan in Eugenius! at The Other Palace.

Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and has a shocking secret that only Gomez knows;

she’s fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family!

Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before — keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia.

Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents.

All the usual clan are present - Uncle Fester, Lurch, Pugsley et al.

Academy Award-winner Marshall Brickman wrote or co-wrote the film screenplays for Sleeper, Annie Hall, Manhattan, Manhattan Murder Mystery,For the Boys and Intersection, and was head writer for The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.

THE publicity told us that On Your Feet is the rags to riches life and love story of Emilio and Gloria Estefan and charts their journey from their origins in Cuba onto the streets of Miami and finally to international superstardom. Well that just about summed it up.

There was a few sad parts, featuring scenes with Gloria’s dad, who suffered from multiple sclerosis soon after returning from the Vietnam War in 1968 and, of course, the accident that nearly ended in tragedy on the road when she was injured in a bus crash in March 1990. The accident, on a snow-covered Pennsylvania road, broke her back and resulted in surgery, but she bounced back with a comeback show at the American Music Awards in 1991.

It’s rare even in a musical for the band to get a solo spot, but this happened at the end of this very lively event, and what a band they were, really getting into the spirit of the Cuban rhythms.

A scene from On Your Feet!

A large cast of more than 20 singers and dancers led by Philippa Stefani and George Ioannides as Gloria and Emilio brought the music to life with all the hits and with nearly 30 in the top 40 in the UK alone, there was plenty to choose from.

Without doubt the music of Gloria and Emilio Estefan has led the way to the worldwide resurgence of Hispanic and Spanish styles of music and without the Miami Sound Machine, the world may have missed it.

Much fun was added to the action with Karan Mann as Grandma Consuelo, who

was always on Gloria’s side pushing her to live the dream, as they moved from Cuba to Miami.

With issues about immigration, family trauma and keeping a culture alive the show had more depth than at first you might think.

With dancing in the aisles to finish off the first half, and plenty of arm waving from the very enthusiastic first night audience, this show will continue to pull in huge crowds on this nationwide tour.

Star Rating. 9 out of 10. A very lively event.

MOTORS

Maybe the Rozzers don’t need to step in - is being utterly devoid of Gallic design flair exactly what D9 needs?

PERHAPS, in a police station somewhere in Paris, a theft’s been reported to La Gendarmerie. Clearly the top brass at DS are concerned – because someone’s run off with almost all of their trademark design details.

That’s the only conclusion I can come to having flicked through all the finer details of the new DS 9 – a new, 5-Series-rivalling saloon from Citroën’s high-end sister brand. It’s a big, plushly-trimmed luxury barge from the nation that brought you the Citroën XM (chiefly known for its out-there looks and wafty suspension), the Peugeot 604 and the Renault 25.

It’s practically written into the constitution of the Fifth Republic that the President of France must step out of a four-door saloon that rides like it’s been draped over a water bed, and looks like it’s nicked straight out of The Louvre. Yet the new car looks…well, it looks like an Audi A6.

Just about the only really avantgarde bit of styling I can find is that they’ve stuck the indicators at the top of the rear window, in a neat homage to the original Citroën DS of the 1950s – but where are the rear wheel spats and the floating roofline and the obsessively aerodynamic shape?

I can only assume they’ve been taken from the DS design office, and that Liam Neeson, once he’s finished his surly-sounding phone call, is going to fly over to recover them.

Even the name isn’t quite right – I know it’s convention for DS to simply assign its models a number, but stick DS 9 into Google and you’ll be treated to some fictional Nineties spacefarers – but once you get over that and the fact it looks like a Macron-spec Audi or BMW this looks like it’s going to be a genuinely decent bit of kit.

For all its Audi-esque design details, our man hopes the new DS 9 will be a hit here

It’ll be offered primarily as a plug-in hybrid, initially in 225bhp but then with a thumping combination of petrol engines and electric batteries serving up the equivalent of 360bhp – and for anyone who remembers older French cars being a bit too wayward on account of sending all their shove to the front wheels, it’s worth bearing in mind that the more powerful versions of the DS 9 will have four-wheel-drive.

But the secret’s going to be in whether DS remem-

bers one of two areas where France’s big saloons lead the world – being more comfortable, by miles, than anything BMW, Audi or Mercedes can muster.

The new arrival’s equipped with a camera that scans the road ahead for sores and imperfections, and then prepares the dampers accordingly. Combine that with seats that are heated, cooled and massaged by each of their individual occupants, and I reckon this is something any self-respecting French cabinet minister is going to want to waft to

Charles De Gaulle in.

The question is – will the rest of us? The other area where French saloons lead the world is trailing the Germans spectacularly in the showrooms, as the old Citroën C6 (and before that, the XM) proved.

Maybe the French rozzers won’t need to step in – perhaps being utterly devoid of Gallic design flair is exactly what this new arrival needs.

You can now make the Honda Civic Type R more understated - or do just the opposite

Would you like the go-faster thrills of Honda’s Civic Type R without the aggressive styling?

FANCY the go-faster thrills of Honda’s Civic Type R but not its aggressive styling?

Now you can, with a new model, the Sport, which tones down the car’s looks and lowers the height of the rear spoiler.

There’s also a new stripped-out version too, the Limited Edition, which goes the other way with the use of lighter components and reworked cosmetic details.

Both of these new arrivals, and the standard Type R, are also now

available with a new computer system that logs how the car’s performing and how you’re driving it.

Go to www.honda.co.uk to find out more about the expanded Type R range.

Bucks bolster strikeforce

BOOTLE manager Joe Doran has bolstered his attacking options by signing James Hooper from Airbus, writes Connor O’Neill.

The forward has also represented Flint Town and Maghull in the past and the Champion understands that Doran has been looking to add to his squad for a few weeks.

The bucks started the month in second place in the North West Counties Premier Division, but have lost two of their last three league matches and now sit third in the table, four points behind second placed Rylands with three games in hand with 1874 Northwich four points clear at the top.

Doran has just over a month remaining to add new faces to his squad for the run-in before the non-league transfer window shuts.

The Bucks saw their game with Irlam called off on Saturday and are expected to return to action on Tuesday night against Northwich Victoria, before they face Skelmersdale United at JMO Sports Park on Saturday.

Remyca earn a vital point to boost their survival bid Rylands 1 Litherland Remyca 1 REMYCA earned a vital point in their battle for survival after a battling performance against in-form Rylands.

A brilliant finish from James Law in the second half brought the scores level, after Gary Kenny had put the home team ahead in the 26th minute.

The result sees Remyca close the gap on 19th place Hanley Town, who lost to Runcorn Town.

The wind made the game end to end throughout the day and Rylands had the first opportunity on goal in the fourth minute when Stephen Wolhunter received the ball off a clearance from a corner and the defender’s speculative 25-yard shot went just wide of the post.

Rylands then tried an outrageous attempt at goal when Callum Lees received the ball high in the air after a scramble in the box and attempted an overhead kick that perhaps could have gone in on a day with different weather conditions.

The home team broke the deadlock on 26 minutes when Kenny took advantage of the wind after two successive corners and saw his header cruise into the bottom of Josh O'Connell’s net.

Minutes later and it should have been all square. after Remyca had a succession of corners and White threw himself at the ball and some brilliant defending by the home side saw them clear the shot off the line.

Remyca were straight out of the blocks in the second half and made the game 1-1 on 51 minutes.

Law, Litherland's top goal scorer, was picked out brilliantly by Speed. His pass split apart the defence and played through the Remyca winger. Law then took the ball past his marker and placed his shot into the bottom left corner. It was a brilliant goal from the young player, who is constantly proving to be a threat on the wing.

There were more chances for Litherland and Donnelly, had a shot well saved by Michael Emery.

Two minutes later the keeper had pulled off another good save after Law cut into the box andstruck a wonderful shot high towards the near post and Emery just managed to push the shot with his fingertips against the bar.

Litherland pressed but could not find the winner.

Marine made to pay for poor second half Trafford 2 Marine 0

A SLUGGISH second half showing from Marine condemned them to defeat after goals from Curtis Miller and Max Hazeldine gave Trafford victory, writes Tom Clarke.

The Mariners had the better of their hosts in the first half, as George Hassall fashioned several chances in the opening minutes but couldn’t find a way past home stopper Matt Cooper.

Dan Atherton was called into action shortly before the half-hour mark, though, producing an excellent save to prevent Trafford from opening the scoring on the counter.

Marine’s best chance of the half came on that half-hour mark, captain Niall Cummins striking the crossbar from a Jordan Lussey corner before a goalmouth scramble.

Cooper was called into action again on the stroke of half time, Josh Solomon-Davies testing him from the edge of the box on the right-back’s left foot.

Manager N eil Young made a couple of changes early in the second half, James Barrigan and debutant Morecambe loanee Michael Howard coming on for N eil Kengni and Hassall respectively.

Trafford grabbed control of the game in the second period, with another good save from Atherton as well as a last-ditch block from Anthony Miley keeping the scores level early on.

Mark Howarth saw several long-range efforts just wide of the mark, before Miller took advantage for Trafford to put the hosts ahead with an impressive

goal from distance in the 75th minute.

James Devine entered the fray in place of Lussey late on in the game before Trafford bagged their second through Max Hazeldine on 81 minutes.

Cummins glanced a corner wide before Steve

Irwin had to leave the field of play with an injury shortly before full time.

Marine remain in third place in the league despite the defeat, and will look to bounce back at home to Droylsden this Saturday.
