Jamie shows off a shirt worn by Roma legend Francesco Totti

Carra auctions shirts for charity JAMIE Carragher has swapped shirts with some of the most iconic players in world football during his 737 match career with the Reds – and now he is auctioning his entire collection for charity.

The former Liverpool defender has faced some iconic stars on the football pitch for both club and country, which has seen him collect an impressive number of jerseys from opposition players.

He has now teamed up with Kit It Out and through his own charity the 23 Foundation, each shirt will be signed and auctioned.

A spokesperson for Kit It Out said: “It is unbelievable news. Thanks so much to Jamie Carragher for signing and donating all the shirts he has swapped with players throughout his career. All money raised will be split between us and the 23 Foundation.”

Kit It Out is a Liverpool based project which aims to provide football kits that are no longer used to families who may not otherwise have the means to provide kits to their children.

FAMILY TO RAISE FUNDS FOR CHARITY IN MEMORY OF BELOVED JENNIFER ‘She was born with cystic fibrosis but was never a victim to it and was the bravest, kindest, most caring person I have ever met’ Report by Tom Martin A FAMILY from Bootle will use the memory of their beloved relative who passed away last month to raise money for charity.

Jennifer O’Mahony, 34, died on February 5 after a long fight against cystic fibrosis, which is a hereditary disease that affects the lungs and digestive system.

Despite the lifelong condition, her family told the Champion it never affected her positive outlook and Jennifer would never tell anyone about her cystic fibrosis “because she didn’t want to be defined by her illness.”

Since the actress passed away, her family have raised more than £1,750 for Alder Hey Children’s Charity and the Cystic Fibrosis Trust - but they want to continue with the aim of smashing a £5,000 target.

Jennifer ’s sister, Kelly Ramsay, said: “Cystic fibrosis is a genetic condition, so she was born

person I've ever met.

“She was honestly the most beautiful person inside and out and anyone who knew her would tell you that.

“She never told many people about her condition because she didn't want to be defined by her illness. She passed away on February 5 so it's all still raw to us and I need to keep myself busy because if I don't then I'll fall apart.

“I thought it would be amazing to raise funds to donate to cystic fibrosis research and hopefully together we can find a cure. It was too late for us but there are thousands of children and young adults who are fighting to survive.”

Since embarking on a fundraising mission, Kelly has raised more than £1,750 from a GoFundMe website and her husband Shaun Ramsay will take on the Great North Run to boost this ongoing fundraising figure.

They will also organise a family fun day at Our Lady Queen of Peace Primary School, in Ford, on Saturday, August 1 with lots of entertainment and children’s activities.

Kelly added: “I'm hoping to raise £5,000 all together so that we can buy the cystic fibrosis ward at Alder Hey a load of PlayStations or Xboxes or whatever else the kids would like. I'm trying to make their stay a bit better for them.”

To donate to Kelly’s fundraiser, visit the website: www.gofundme.com and search for ‘Kelly Ramsay ’.

COUNCIL Tax is set to rise across Sefton – with Band C property residents having to pay an extra £55.76 a year to the local authority.

Sefton Council chiefs say the increase of more than 3% is needed to fund the “unprecedented demand on children’s social care” and “to be able to continue to provide the everyday services residents rely on.”

The rise was agreed at a full council on Thursday, February 27. The overall Council Tax bill – which includes police and fire services charges and the tax for a Liverpool City Region Metro Mayor – will go up from £1,662.32 to £1,728.36 for the coming financial year for a Band C property.

This excludes the amounts charged by Parish Councils for homes in their areas.

Sefton Council must address a shortfall of £9.14million to set a balanced budget for 2020/21, and at least a further £22.83m shortfall for the following two years.

These further savings come after Sefton Council has been required to meet an overall budget shortfall of £233million since 2010.

Cllr Ian Maher, Leader at Sefton Council, said: “Since 2010 we have had to make savings of more than £233million – that equates to a staggering £722 per household in the borough – forced upon us by consecutive Coalition and Conservative Governments.

“The process of trying to set a balanced budget seems to be relentless and we now have to make further tough choices for the next financial year and our budget plan will have to reflect this.

“While we have an excellent track record of effectively managing our finances and delivering financial sustainability, this is becoming increas-

ingly difficult and what the Government is proposing is simply not a viable solution.

“There are still huge pressures on both adult and children’s social care along with our schools but our calls to this Government for enough funding in these areas seem to go ignored.

“These pressures are only going to get worse and the Government continues to expect the council to increase council tax to ensure our most vulnerable are protected whilst pretending they have ‘made available’ funding – the reality is that they continue to ignore their responsibilities.

“However, Sefton’s councillors will continue to strive to ensure that essential services that safeguard the most vulnerable residents across the whole borough are protected and prioritised in addition to ensuring that financial sustainability is maintained.

“Despite this Government’s continuing attacks on local government funding, Sefton Council set a balanced budget for 2020/21 which will allow us to plan for the coming year to give the Council sufficient time to identify specific proposals to deliver financial sustainability until 2023.”

Flags to mark International Women’s Day are removed from town hall after claims that they are ‘trans-phobic’

Recipients of the Citizens 4 Good award with Sefton Mayor Councillor June Burns and Maghull Mayor Councillor Josh Burns at the recent ceremony

Heroes are honoured for ‘making a difference’ by community volunteering Report by Kenny Parker VOLUNTEERS working in Bootle have been honoured for making a difference to life in thecommunity.

Now in its third year, Citizens 4 Good is a joint initiative by Sefton Council for Voluntary Service (CVS) and the Mayor of Sefton’s Office which recognises local people for the good deeds, kindness and support they provide to other members of the community.

This round of Citizens 4 Good particularly focused on people local to Maghull, Lydiate and neighbouring areas. However, two volunteers working in Bootle were also honoured – Andrew Lewis Cornmell, co-founder of the Bootle Youth Theatre Company and a schoolboy who helped establish

Bootle Parkrun.

The Mayor of Sefton, Mrs. June Burns, said she was delighted to attend the event and to hear the many examples of the excellent work that people are doing in their local communities.

She said: “So much good takes place in Sefton and we want Citizens 4 Good to shine a spotlight on those people making a difference to life in their area.

I’m particularly happy to bring the event to Maghull, my local community.”

Mike Howlett, Sefton CVS Volunteer and Citizenship Lead, added: “Everyone who has been recognised here tonight has made a really positive impact on their local community, and inspired someone enough to nominate them.”

Those honoured from other parts of Sefton borough include a road safety

FLAGS have been removed from Bootle and Southport Town Halls which were flying to support International Women’s Day - after campaigners said that the flags were anti-trans.

The blue flags, which went up on Monday, March 2, were removed the same day after campaigners said that the flags were transphobic.

They are believed to have read, ‘Woman, Noun, Adult human female.’

In September 2018, a billboard poster bearing the same definition of the word was removed after it was accused of being part of a transphobic campaign.

Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull paid £700 to have it put up, but it was removed after an LGBT activist complained that it represented ‘hate’ after Ms Keen-Minshull said “the idea that trans women were women was preposterous.”

When asked why the poster was erected in Liverpool, where the Labour Party’s annual conference was taking place, Ms Keen-Minshull said it was in response to the city's mayor, Joe Anderson, who recently voiced his support for the trans community.

Dr Adrian Harrop, whose complaint led to the poster's removal, said the billboard was a ‘symbol

that makes transgender people feel unsafe.’

A spokesperson for Sefton Council said: “We were asked to support International Women’s Day by flying a flag which we did so with effect from Monday, March 2.

“However we have since been made aware of a potential issue regarding the messaging on the flag and have taken them down.

“Sefton Council is a local authority with a proud history of supporting LGBTQ+ rights across the borough, having previously been awarded the NAVAJO LGBTQ Quality Mark for our work.

“We continue to support all members of our communities.”

Bowling club set up to help beginners

Footage of the incident was filmed by onlookers and went viral

Digger driver who smashed into hotel jailed for five years Report by Tom Martin A CONSTRUCTION worker from Netherton who went viral after he smashed through a hotel with a digger has been jailed for five years.

John Manley, 35, caused nearly £443,000 worth of damage at a Travelodge branch in Liverpool Innovation Park, which was under construction at the time, after claiming he was missing £600 from his wages.

He was jailed at Liverpool Crown Court last week after a judge decided ‘many lives were endangered’ during his rampage, which hit the national headlines in January last year after several onlookers filmed the incident.

As well as being found guilty of criminal damage and recklessly endangering life, he was also given a driving ban for four years and one month.

In footage shared thousands of times on social media, the disgruntled worker claimed he was owed money. In the videos, he is heard shouting “£600 f******* quid, all you had to do was pay me.”

The five year prison sentence has split opinion.

One worker said at the time that he ‘stood by’ him as the missing wages were unfair.

However, another worker, Garry Boocock, who is a lift contractor from West Yorkshire, has welcomed the sentencing. He pulled one man out of the way

of the digger before managing to disable the machine before it could cause any more damage.

He told The Telegraph and Argus: “I don’t think they ’ve gone easy on him and I think they’ve given a good and appropriate sentence for what he did, as he endangered other people’s lives.”

A NEW bowls club has been formed in Bootle to encourage beginners to try out the sport.

‘Bowl for Health’ is a six to eight week programme designed for complete newcomers, providing an overview of the basics and how to play a match.

Run by welcoming coaches and club volunteers, the programme is coming to Bootle for the first time next month having already been successfully set-up in Southport and Formby.

The programme is being led by Merseyside Sport and they have had support from Active Sefton and the National Lottery Community Fund.

Teenager has his bike robbed at knife-point A TEENAGE boy was the victim of a terrifying robbery when a yob armed with a knife threatened him in Thornton.

The 14-year-old was in Rimrose Valley Country Park, next to Rimrose Valley Road, when a youth aged between 16-17 threatened him with a knife at around 3.30pm on Wednesday, February 26.

He then took the victim’s grey Trek bike, which has yellow grips.

Parents were sent warning messages from nearby schools, including Chesterfield High School, to inform them of the incident.

The armed robber is described as having short black hair and was wearing black pants and a grey/silver Berghaus coat.

He walked away across the park with the bike and met two other males, who were also on bikes.

Detective Inspector Catherine Walsh said: “The victim was thankfully unharmed during this incident, but to be threatened at knifepoint for

his bike is clearly extremely upsetting.

“We will act on all information given to us to bring those responsible to justice, and I am calling upon anyone who saw anything, has heard about what happened or who has seen or been offered the bike since to get in touch.

“We are making our own enquiries and we will continue until justice is served, but information from the public could prove absolutely vital.

“Knife crime has no place in our communities, and our green spaces are there to be enjoyed safely by people of all ages. We intend to keep it that way.”

Anyone with information should contact Merseyside Police social media desk via Twitter @MerPolCC or Facebook ‘Merseyside Police Contact Centre’.

You can also call 101 quoting incident reference 20000124222 or contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Members who have taken part in sessions elsewhere claim it has helped them feel less isolated and the physical activity helps improve their health and wellbeing.

Danny Woodworth, from Merseyside Sport, said, “Being active doesn’t need to mean joining a gym.

“It’s about finding an activity that you enjoy - people have told us that bowling is a great way to enjoy gentle exercise in a relaxed and sociable environment.

“Bowl for Health is for anybody to join in with - it doesn’t matter what your age, experience or level of fitness is.”

Sessions are starting at Crescent Bowling Club, in Bootle, from 1-2pm on Friday, April 17, running for six weeks.

Homes raided as part of latest drugs crackdown Report by Tom Martin POLICE raided homes in Netherton as part of a huge County Lines crackdown on drugs.

On Tuesday, February 25, officers carried out Project Medusa, aimed at seizing drugs and arresting gang members in Merseyside, Lancashire, Cumbria and Scotland.

In total, police arrested 46 people from Netherton, Old Swan, Stockbridge Village and Toxteth for a variety of offences.

They also helped seven ‘vulnerable people’ who have been referred for safeguarding.

County Lines is a term used when drug gangs from big cities expand their operations to smaller towns, often using violence to drive out local dealers and exploiting children and vulnerable people to sell drugs.

Merseyside Police Assistant Chief Constable Ian Critchley said: "We have seen considerable success through this kind of targeted action in recent months and weeks and it is vital that we keep up this level of activity.

“As a result of the activity last Tuesday 46

Officers carrying out a raid in Merseyside

people were arrested for various drugs offences and seven vulnerable people were referred for safeguarding "Those responsible for these County Lines bring misery to our local communities through their drug dealing and they also target and coerce young and vulnerable people into doing their dirty work.

“Here on Merseyside we have arrested 112 people and shutdown 32 County Lines since November last year.

“Project Medusa, hits the criminals hard, but

when it comes to the young and vulnerable people, who have been criminally exploited, we ensure that they are treated sensitively and with understanding.

“Working with existing partnerships including Everton in the Community, LFC Foundation and other local partners we are able to refer these victims for educational programmes, psychological and emotional support and pathways which help them to forge a new life for themselves away from the degrading world of County Lines.

“We also work with our partners in the voluntary sector and organisations like Catch 22, Protect (Liverpool), the My Time Project and other outreach workers who are able to provide interventions to prevent young people from becoming involved in County Lines.

“We are determined to sever the County Lines that blight our communities and the recently created Violence Reduction Partnership (which consists of representatives from Merseyside Police, the Health Service, all five local authorities), is looking at long term strategies to see how a public health approach can help prevent people from becoming involved in County Lines.”

ies.

Landlord fined for ‘dangerous’ house A LANDLORD has been hit with a bill of almost £9,500 for allowing a tenant to live in a dangerous, unlicensed property in Orrell Park.

John William Kildare, of Eldred Road, in Childwall, failed to comply with an Improvement Notice issued by Liverpool City Council, as well as failing to apply for a licence.

The house, on Hanford Avenue in Orrell Park, had a number of issues including damp and mould, various electrical issues and missing smoke alarms.

A room was also subject to a Prohibition Order as due to suspected asbestos in damaged ceiling tiles.

He pleaded not guilty at the first hearing on 19 December 2019, but was found guilty in his absence by at a trial on February 24.

At Liverpool Magistrates Court, District Judge Andrew Shaw described the offences as “serious” and imposed a fine of £2,000 in relation to the unlicensed offence, £3,000 in relation to the failure to comply with the Improvement Notice and awarded the council costs of £4,410.

Deputy Mayor and Cabinet member for housing, Councillor Lynnie Hinnigan, said: “This prosecution highlights the desperate need for our Landlord Licensing scheme.

“Here we have a landlord operating with wanton disregard for the safety of their tenant and blatantly ignoring our attempts to get him to licence the property and carry out basic improvements to make it liveable.

“Landlord licensing is a foot in the door, enabling us to create a dedicated team who have made a huge difference to the lives of many vulnerable tenants.”

Report by Tom Martin

A CAT who was missing from a Litherland home for more than a year was found more than 30 miles away living in a warehouse!

Beloved family pet, Pixie, went missing in January 2019, and when she hadn’t returned after a few days her distraught owner Nicola Pinel began to fear the worst.

They gave up any hope of finding the feline, but last month the RSPCA received a report from workers who were concerned about the well-being of a stray cat they had seen living in a charity’s warehouse in York Road, Ashton-in-Makerfield.

Thankfully Pixie had been micro-chipped so RSPCA Inspector Paul Heaton was able to trace her family ’s address. But there was another twist to the tale, as the family had moved - so Animal Welfare Officer Matthew Brown spoke to a neighbour, who knew their new address in nearby Bridge Road.

Pixie was then finally reunited with her family which includes Nicole’s partner Adam Cliff and their two children Ellie-Mae, six, and Olivia, two - as well as their other cat Trixie.

Nicole said: “I was amazed that Pixie had been

and would wander off sometimes for a day or two but the neighbours knew her and fed her so I wasn’t too worried at first.

“But after a few days of checking with people living nearby and no-one seeing her I thought the worst - that perhaps someone had taken her or she had been involved in a road traffic accident.

“Then a year later, I got a call out of the blue to say she had been found safe and well - over 30 miles away - but I was delighted she was safe.

“I was worried she might have forgotten us and she was always such an affectionate cat so was wondering if she had changed. But as soon as the RSPCA brought her round she jumped straight on my knee and wanted cuddles. It was as if she had never been away.

“My eldest daughter was so pleased to have her back and my youngest who cannot remember Pixie thinks it is great she has another cat now.

“She is doing so well. I had her checked by a vet who said she was in great condition - just a bit overweight so I think the warehouse workers must have been looking after her. I’m so grateful to them.”

Inspector Paul Heaton said he believes Pixie may have been picked up accidentally in a van which collects charity donations and gone on a journey.

Transform your garden

NO MUD, NO MES S, NO MOWING with an easigrassTM artificial lawn Plan your outdoor space with easigrassTM

Members of KnitterKnatter group socialize while enjoying their hobby.

Whether you are looking to freshen up a lawn or you are putting together a whole new garden, investing in easigrass is a great way to transform outdoor space.

Club marks ten years of knitting and nattering!

Report by Tom Martin A COMMUNITY craft club in Crosby has marked its tenth anniversary.

KnitterKnatter, which is based in Blundellsands Bridge Club, in Crosby Village was started for people who enjoy knitting as a way to socialise and learn new skills.

It is a not-for-profit club and only charges a sessions fee of £2.50 with a one off payment of £5 to cover the rent.

It started with around eight members and only ran evening sessions but now runs morning sessions which more than 15 ladies attend.

The ladies do a lot of work for charity such as making twiddle muffs for people with dementia.

They also do work for the community such as knitting beanie hats for premature babies; fish and chip jumpers to be sent abroad for children born with

HIV as well as syringe driver bags and Linus blankets for ill children and teenagers who are in need of support.

Maureen Thwaites, who funded the group, said: “It provides an excellent community forum and welcomes people of all ages.

“We teach knitting and crocheting but as we have a variety of expertise within the group, we can help with most crafts and a number of ladies also like to make quilts.

“We receive wool donations and fabric which we use for these projects and are very grateful for.

“KnitterKnatter provides an opportunity to meet new people, receive support and not only help with craft projects but also where they are dealing with bereavement, cancer or loneliness.

“Once a year we try and run a subsidised coach trip. We have also paid for crafters to deliver inhouse sessions on felting and dressmaking.

For more information on the group email knitterknattercrosby@gmail.com or call 07538 705434.

easigrass is becoming ever popular due to its low maintenance, realistic look and dream garden appeal. There’s no mud or mess, no cutting or weeding and it creates beautiful outdoor spaces for family and friends to enjoy.

Adds value to your property Creates the ‘wow’ factor No more mud or mess Outdoor fun all year round

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.

It’s still like a litter festival

We are too scared Please don’t be angry with hard working council workers of big business

Over the past few weeks I have travelled from Crosby to Aintree Hospital by bus.

Along the route, almost every pavement and grass verge is covered with empty drinks cans, takeaway food cartons and all kinds of wrappers.

In Bill Bryson’s travel book, Notes From a Small Island, written a few years ago, he says he came to visit Liverpool and there was a litter festival.

Sadly, despite legislation, nothing has changed.

Re letter council should clear up litter from our roads.

Please don’t be angry with council workers!

The council has experienced crippling funding cuts over the past ten years and there is more to come thanks to the austerity measures this government has inflicted on the UK! The council services are cut to the bone - my husband and his colleagues work extremely hard trying to cover unrealistic rounds but it’s all the department can do with what they’ve got these days!

I would suggest you go out and about for one day to see what they try to keep clean.

It’s an impossible job!

But they still try their best every day and suffer abuse from the public at times too!

Your anger should be at the irresponsible people who throw away stuff with the attitude it’s someone else’s job to pick it up!

Joan Lewin, Great Crosby

I see people in vans and cars wrap up their rubbish from take aways and throw them out the window!

As for the poor pensioner who dropped litter the story stated the body cam was reviewed and it was confirmed she didn’t accidentally drop it - and that is how it starts with one piece of paper regardless of who is dropping it young - old it is wrong!

There was a time when people took a pride in their area and would pick up and clean their little space of living.

And I know there are many volunteers who help to keep Maghull and Lydiate clean.

I would like to end this by saying ‘thank you’ to the council and its staff who work hard to keep our roads clean. They do a great job even though it must often feel like its’s groundhog day!

I read with interest a recent article in your paper about the docks expanding and creating employment.

I agree with this about employment, but at what cost?

We have seen massive changes in our docks but not in our infrastructure and people in our area have had to suffer the consequences.

We now live an era when Government and councils are terrified of the big companies.

One false move and the moral blackmail begins. Big Brother has grown so big.

But what about people who have to live in that area with the horrendous traffic and pollution.

One thing we have lost in life is our compassion, certainly when big businesses are around.

Dog mess is our problem

of the week

This scene of Waterloo beach during the recent storms was taken by Champion reader Stephen Carrigan who said he got covered in sand and spray while taking the photograph! If you have a photograph you would like to submit for our Picture of the Week email editorial@champnews.com and include your name, the area where you live and a brief description.

Making the excuse that we need more public bins (letters 29/1) will not solve the problem of dog fouling and littering.

There could be bins every few feet and the ignorant and lazy will ignore them.

It’s easier to hang non biodegradable bags filled with dog excrement on to hedgerows, and fling unfinished takeaways on to our streets (prolifigating the rat population) than to take your mess home with you.

It’s not our council’s problem it’s our problem.

Thornton will be an island

Lydiate Primary is a fantastic school with wonderful staff

So grateful to the person who handed in my purse

Thornton isn’t flood protected.

With the building of Brooms Cross on one side and hundreds of homes in the other, the problems will just get worst.

The parish lobbied Sefton to look at the issues three years ago and they didn’t.

Residents brought the issue up at the planning stage of both the road and house building - no one listened Today still no one is listening.

The floods are making Thornton an island which is getting eroded.

I am writing to complain about your front page article about Lydiate Primary School.

You stated that the school is crumbling and so cold that children have to wear coats in class.

This is totally false.

My children attend this school and not once have they ever been cold in school and needed to wear coats.

Lydiate primary is an absolutely fantastic school with wonderful, inspiring staff.

My children are thriving at this school.

The standard of teaching in my opinion

I enjoy reading the Champion each week and also the letters to the editor column.

I know there are often a lot of complaints but I have just had a lovely experience of someone’s kindness and honesty.

On February 20 I had shopped at Lidl in Seaforth and then gone to my son’s home and had not noticed until about 10pm that my purse was missing.

So too late to go back to the store then. I went the following

My children feel safe, secure and happy and are making brilliant progress due to the excellent staff.

By continuing to print articles with false information you are putting off potential students and, therefore, putting the future of the school at risk.

Perhaps you could print a positive article next time and encourage future students instead!

NEW COMMUNITY NURSERY OPENING IN LITHERLAND! A new nursery, based in the heart of the Litherland community, is opening soon. footprints@hattonhill will open its doors on 16th March 2020 and is the latest footprints@ childcare setting for First Steps Enterprise Limited. Managing Director Ian Merrison tell us that all in First Steps are ‘really looking forward to this exciting new setting opening.’

Based on the premises of Hatton Hill School in Litherland and registered with Ofsted, the nursery will open for children aged 2 to 4 between the hours of 8am and 5.45pm. First Steps Deputy Manager Sarah Mercer explains more: ‘Children are at the heart of our footprints@ settings. We are really look to give the best quality childcare we can in footprints@ hattonhill. We are always happy to let interested parents look round.’

Everton's proposed stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock.

Report by Tom Martin EVERTON fans still have just over two weeks to give their views on plans to build a new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock.

The club’s planning application, submitted in December last year, is still under Liverpool City Council’s formal consultation stage, so supporters have until Friday, March 20 to give an opinion.

The local authority is expected to “give determination” on the proposal in the summer of 2020.

The application, consisting of more than 50 technical documents covering 30 subject areas, includes information on the development, designs, the creation of a water channel to retain the visual dock connection, a Fan Zone and a new 345-space multi-storey car park within the stadium building.

There is a heavy emphasis on heritage within the application,

bringing the history of the docks to life and restoring and incorporating important historical elements into the landscape design, such as railway tracks which used to transport coal to and from warehouses around the site.

The application also includes a matchday transport strategy that has been developed in conjunction with Liverpool City Council Highways Authority, Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, Merseytravel, train, bus and taxi operators.

The club has also proposed the repair and restoration of the existing Grade II listed Hydraulic Tower as a cultural asset, which will be the subject of a separate application for listed building consent.

Comments on the application need to quote the reference number20F/0001 and can be emailed to addressefcapp@liverpool.gov.uk or sent by post to The Planning Department, Liverpool City Council, 4th Floor, Cunard Building, Water Street, Liverpool, L3 1AH, quoting the reference number20F/0001.

After having gone through a rigorous professional assessment process.

Checkers of Churchtown Have been accredited for providing a first class service for fitting and after sales.

Sarah also tells us that the setting is holding a number of stay and play sessions. ‘These will be between 10am and 12noon on 5th, 10th and 12th March, just before we open on the 16th.

They are a great way to see the setting and meet Kate, the setting manager, and the team, and ask us any questions.’

The nursery will be able to help with the various funding streams for 2, 3and 4-year olds, and will work in close partnership with Hatton Hill Primary School. To find out more, please ring First Steps main number on 0151 665 0160. Mr Merrison adds: ‘the setting is looking great and we look forward to welcoming families into the nursery.’

TIGER Roll heads 89 remaining entries for the £1-million Randox Health Grand National following the scratchings deadline on Tuesday, February 25.

The 2020 edition of the world’s greatest and most valuable chase takes place at Aintree on Saturday, April 4 and Tiger Roll (11st 10lb) is the 11/2 favourite with Betway, official betting partner of the Randox Health Grand National Festival, as he continues his quest for an unprecedented third consecutive Grand National victory.

The 10-year-old made a promising reappearance in the G2 Boyne Hurdle at Navan in February finishing fifth, and is due to line up next in the Glenfarclas Cross Country Chase at the Cheltenham Festival.

Tiger Roll won the Cheltenham contest in 2018 and 2019 before going on to Grand National success.

What do we offer that others don’t?

THE LARGEST BATHROOM SHOWROOM IN SOUTHPORT

A formidable Irish challenge is also set to feature Irish Grand National hero Burrows Saint (10st 10lb), and recent Naas G3 scorer Any Second Now (Ted Walsh, 10st 6lb).

Last year’s Grand National runner up Magic Of Light (10st 12lb), posted a rare below part effort when last in the Boyne Hurdle.

That came on the back of easy victories against her own sex in a Listed chase at Newbury in December and a G2 hurdle at Ascot in January.

Magic Of Light, who is bidding to become the first mare to win the Aintree spectacular since Nickel Coin in 1951, could be joined by stable companion Jett (10st 13lb).

He has backed up his victory in a G3 chase at Punchestown in October with a series of good efforts, most recently when fourth in the G1 Irish Gold Cup. A maximum of 40 runners can line up for the 2020 Randox Health Grand National, with the next scratchings stage on Tuesday, March 17.

Then &Now Celebrating 26 Years

1994

DESIGN | PRINT | DISTRIBUTION | DIGITAL

I

n 1994 motivated by the sudden sale and immediate closure of the Southport Globe, the Champion was born.

CEO Betty Drummond said: “The launch of the Champion and it’s early history is a well-documented story of David and Goliath. The closure and loss of jobs at the Globe was the inspiration behind the Champion.”

A handful of staff, with little more than will-power were determined to continue to produce a first class independent newspaper. After the Globe closed it’s doors, and against all the odds, the team set about launching the Champion and within four days the first edition hit the streets. From a standing start with no resources, no money and no premises, the staff rallied.

Southport

1994

Formby

Ormskirk

1994

The editorial team hit the streets to gather news and prepared their stories on a borrowed Macintosh Classic. The sales staff worked from two bedrooms in the Scarisbrick Hotel, Southport. Page production was managed across a couple of B&Q pasting tables and invoices were prepared in a garden shed.

Since then Champion titles have always “bucked the trend” by enjoying steady growth, while other newspaper publishers have cut back circulation or closed down titles. Since 1994 we have produced an ever-growing series of quality newspapers, serving the residents of Sefton, North Liverpool and West Lancashire.

Police are urged to deliver crackdown on parcel thefts Report by Tom Martin MERSEYSIDE Police has recorded the fourth highest number of parcel thefts after figures were revealed from Forces across the country.

A Freedom of Information request found out there had been 3,715 instances of parcel thefts in the past two full calendar years.

In Merseyside, officers recorded 247 parcel thefts - 96 in 2018, up to 151 in 2019.

By comparison, Essex Police were highest with 443 parcel thefts and the lowest was South Wales Police, who didn’t record any instances.

The data was collected by iParcelBox, which offers a ‘smart parcel delivery solution’, and they claim police need to do more to stop parcel thefts.

Paul Needler, the founder of iParcelBox said: “It’s clear that police forces across the UK are failing to affectively get a grip on thieves who continue to target unattended parcels in residential areas across the UK. “As things stand, this is understandable – in some cases, an unattended parcel is very easy for an opportunistic thief to steal, and very difficult for police to track down. Therefore, online shoppers must take safety precautions into their own hands, this involves investing in a smart parcel delivery solution so that uncollected, often valuable, mail can be stored safely in a weatherproof, locked, box, until the addressee is home.”

A spokesperson for Merseyside Police said: "Most thieves are opportunists and are always ready to take advantage when a door, window or outbuilding has been left unlocked or there are valuables or items left on display.

“These crimes can have a huge impact on victims, particularly when expensive or cherished items are stolen.

“Most vehicle crime is preventable. It can take as little as ten seconds for a thief to steal something from a vehicle. We would advise, particularly delivery drivers, if at all possible, leave nothing on view, avoid parking your vehicle in quiet side roads where offenders are able to act unobserved and ensure all doors and windows are secured when leaving the vehicle.

“We would also advise that any items or parcels are left in a safe and secure location which is out of sight and that any suspicious behaviour is reported to police.”

Martin Mere news

Owl spectacular on Martin Mere’s nature reserve Owls are incredibly specialised birds of prey.

Their round heads and flat dished faces, with forward-facing eyes make them well adapted to hunting their typical prey of frogs, insects, mice and other small mammals. Most are nocturnal or crepuscular (active at dawn and dusk), but some may be seen by day. Martin Mere is a great place to see a wide variety of owls – you could see up to 4 species in one day. You can watch barn owls hunting over the fields, tawny owls sat high up in the trees being shouted at by blackbirds, a little owl sat on top of the barn looking for prey or a short-eared owls soaring overhead.

They have exceptional hearing and can find prey by sound alone.

the nest box by the Janet Kear Hide, or sat in the ivy covered tree by the Kingfisher Hide.

Our Reserve Team collects up barn owl pellets (owl vomit) and analyse what they have been feeding on. We mainly find the undigested fur and bones of short tailed field voles, which is their favourite food. On our reserve, we keep the grass long and full of tussocks in some of our fields which creates a perfect habitat for the field voles to breed, providing lots of food for the barn owls. The best place to see the barn owls at Martin Mere is in Long Meadow Barn, which you can see from the Reedbed Walk, and hunting over the fields from the Ron Barker Hide.

We also have little owls on site. They breed in the dilapidated barn in Langley’s field which is visible from the public footpath. They are mainly seen at dawn and dusk, often sat on top of the barn scoping the area for food. They feed on beetles, slugs and earthworms.

At Martin Mere we have 5 barn owl boxes spread across the site. In 2019, 3 of the boxes were used and 3 pairs of barn owls fledged 8 chicks. Barn owls can have up to 3 broods in a good year and sometimes fledge chicks in December. The female will sit in the nest box for up to 4 weeks being fed by the male as she tests him to make sure he’s a good provider and there is enough food around before she will lay her first egg. Perhaps the most recognisable British owl, the barn owl will sometimes hunt in the daytime and can be seen hunting over farmland and grassland.

We also have four tawny owl boxes on site and in 2019, two pairs of tawny owl bred and fledged 4 chicks between them. They are early nesters and often the females are sitting on eggs in February.

The males either sit in the entrance of the nest box keeping watch, or they sit in a nearby tree and sleep. Tawny owls have a more varied diet feeding on small birds, small mammals and frogs. The female tawny owls make a “Twit” call and the males make the “Hoooot” call to create the well-known “twit-twoo” sound associated with owls. At Martin Mere, the best places to see the tawny owls is either in the entrance hole of

Short-eared owls are a rare visitor to Martin Mere. They can be seen annually hunting over the short grassland. Short-eared owls employ a hunting technique known as “quartering”, which consists of a mixture of flapping, gliding and hovering low over grassland to locate their prey of small mammals or birds. These owls are very well camouflaged and have bright yellow eyes and small tufts of feathers on the top of its head, which is how it got its name.

We run bat and barn owl nights throughout spring and summer, allowing visitors exclusive access to the site, for a guided tour of owl hot spots on the reserve. Seeing an owl is a fantastic experience and one that many of our visitors enjoy. Check our website to book your ticket to one of these wonderful events.

Freedom of speech means saying things some people disagree with YOU may have noticed recently that I have talked about buses, trains, my childhood - but have tended to steer well clear of the stories that have filled the news.

And that is largely because I am reluctant to get mired into the socalled ‘free speech’ argument.

Now I am fortunate indeed not to be connected to the so-called social media and so probably would not see first hand at least my name and whatever beliefs I might sincerely hold being besmirched as ‘unacceptable’ along no doubt with calls for my immediate sacking and for me to be cast into that underworld of ignorant if not totally evil outcasts who refuse to see sense.

How could I, for instance, talk about gender change - when even previously respected feminists are being derided and refused a platform simply because they do not conform to their views?

I gave up trying to express my views on Brexit because, again, anything that contradicted the raucous views of those who thought that anyone who didn’t agree with them would lead to attacks on my intellect if not my sanity.

I listened to a radio discussion about the curtailment or otherwise of so-called ‘free speech’ in which one ‘anti’ reckoned that giving a platform to right-wing extremists was very dangerous.

And she was right! Just as giving a platform to left wing extremists or racists can be very dangerous.

But this worthy woman was surely missing the point.

The vast majority of folk who value free speech not only on the media but also in everyday life would wholeheartedly agree that anything spoken (or written for that matter) which actively encourages violence should indeed be suppressed.

But that does not mean that you should not be able to say that you are not keen on a particular view (whether or not it happens to be flavour of the month).

Nor that you cannot express considered views on immigration or the political leanings your government should be taking, or indeed for instance the rights and wrongs of abortion on request.

And in particular, why should a (usually a small pressure group) such as a students’ union be allowed to ban an eminent speaker simply because ‘they ’ know better and do not want their fellows to be exposed to any opposing view?

I know that here I am in danger of running into all kinds of trouble, but it seems to me that the list of things you are never supposed to question either in print or TV and radio is getting longer almost day by day.

And my personal view is that it was indeed far more healthy when you could wander down to the Pier Head in Liverpool and listen (usually not for long because a lot of it was codswallop) to someone who thought he had something to say standing on a soap box and declaiming, usually to an audience who had a few minutes to waste while waiting for the next ferry to Birkenhead or Seacombe.

I really shouldn’t think he made much of an impression on the views of his shifting audience but at least he was allowed to put forward his often cranky opinions and probably felt the better for it.

Better surely than being arrested for expressing views not necessarily those accepted by most people?

Anyway, having got that off my chest next week (if I am still here to say anything) I’ll possibly tell you of how my dad acquired a hare or possibly of my one appearance on the stage at the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall.

I should be fairly safe with those two - though perhaps not with the hare. Or I might even come up with something non-controversial but hopefully interesting.

Peel Ports Couples urged to apply for Marriage Allowance donates £5k to charity MARRIED couples in Sefton and those in civil partnerships have been urged by HMRC to see if they qualify for a £250 tax break.

More than 1.78million couples are already committed to the Marriage Allowance boost, but it is estimated more than two million are missing out on up to £250 this year.

Marriage Allowance lets people earning £12,500 or less, transfer up to £1,250 of their Personal Allowance to their husband, wife or civil partner – if their income is higher.

This reduces their tax by up to £250 for the 2020/21 tax year. Claims can also be backdated four years to April 2015. After April 5, couples will only be able to claim back to the 2016/17 year.

Angela MacDonald, HMRC’s director general for customer services, said: “Applying for Marriage Allowance is a quick and easy way for married couples and people in a civil partnership to have £250 or more put back in their pockets.”

Customers are urged to cut out the middle man and

receive a guaranteed 100% of their eligible entitlement, if they apply directly through HMRC. Customers can benefit from Marriage Allowance if all the following apply: - You’re married or in a civil partnership.

- You do not pay income tax or your income is below your Personal Allowance (usually £12,500).

- Your partner pays income tax at the basic rate between £12,501 and £50,000.

Tony Nelson from The Initiative Factory and David Huck from Peel Ports

PEEL Ports has made a £5,000 donation to a Liverpool-based charity which supports vulnerable people.

The Hope Advice Centre, in the city centre, was formed to help people overcome poverty, sickness and hardship, and offer education.

The charity, which operates as The Initiative Factory and is based in Hope Street, also provides benefits advice and tribunal representation, employment law advice and debt advice to individuals and families.

David Huck, managing director of Group Ports at Peel Ports, said: “We’re delighted to give our full support to The Initiative Factory at a time when so many people in Liverpool are struggling to access the services and support which they desperately need.

“Liverpool is a city which prides itself on its compassion and strength of community, and at Peel Ports we share this philosophy. That’s why we are proud to be working with The Initiative Factory to deliver support to individuals and families which need it most.”

Tony Nelson from The Initiative Factory said: “The money donated by Peel Ports is greatly appreciated and the funding will enable The Initiative Factory to attend more home visits and assessments. Home visits are especially important to identify any problems early. Many of our clients are seriously ill or disabled and the support we provide can mean a world of difference to their quality of living.”

INSTANT DECISION

FREE bus travel will be rolled out to families who travel to watch next week’s light show at Waterloo Town Hall and Bootle Town Hall.

Sefton Council has teamed up with Arriva to offer a limited number of free family bus passes while The Nightingale’s Song is on (March 13-15) at Waterloo Town Hall, Bootle Town Hall and The Atkinson, Southport.

The three civic buildings will be the backdrop over the three consecutive nights as The Nightingale’s Song is projected onto them as the council celebrates the Borough of Culture year.

A trilogy of large-scale video projections will be created and a chapter will be shown at each venue in an interwoven story that connects the coastal towns and people together by international projection artists, Illuminos. Locals are invited to attend each of the three events to follow the story.

The free Arriva family bus travel can be picked up at either Bootle or Southport Town Halls from March 2.

Cllr Trish Hardy, Sefton Council’s main sponsor for the Borough of Culture year, said: “We have said all along we want people to try and attend all three shows at the three different locations so they can witness the story in its entirety as part of our Borough of Culture year.

“By teaming up with Arriva, who have kindly donated a number of free family travel passes, this will make the spectacular event even more accessible for everyone.

“We are expecting large crowds from across the City Region at these events so please get there early and I hope everyone considers using public transport. This is just the start of our amazing Borough of Culture year.”

The Nightingale’s Song is a tale of magic and wonder, of myths and wondrous creatures, spectacular nature, of ships and sailing, of peoples past and present that captures the history of Sefton.

The first part of the trilogy will be projected onto Waterloo Town Hall on Friday, March 13, followed by the second part on the side of Bootle Town Hall on Saturday, March 14. The final chapter will be screened on The Atkinson building in Southport on Sunday, March 15. All shows are free and set to start at 8pm each evening.

For those attending the Waterloo Town Hall event, Waterloo train station is the nearest, those heading to Bootle Town Hall, Bootle Oriel Road station is closest and please use Southport train station for the light show at The Atkinson. All stations are a matter of minutes away from the venues.

ost of us wish to live independent lives, in our own homes for as long as it is possible. Yet when we do begin to struggle with those daily chores, or getting from A to B, life can become very difficult. The good news is that even if you are recovering from an illness, or a fall, or you need help with your long-term care, there are many support services available. By making a few changes and by learning to rely on the right services, staying at home longer can be a reality.

Home care, also known as domiciliary care describes care services that enable you or your loved one to continue living in the place you feel most comfortable – your own home. Support can be built around your needs and routines. Care can be tailored and adapted over time to match the ever changing needs of the individual and is one of the reasons why many families are opting for domiciliary care – because it puts them back in control of the support they receive.

Regular home visits from 30 minutes through to several hours a day and night can be arranged to help you with a wide range of everyday tasks including:

• Personal and continence care • Managing medication • Helping to move around the home • Household tasks and meal preparation • Clinical care

Domiciliary care also offers a valuable source of companionship. Seeing a familiar face every day, or a couple of times a week brings comfort, a feeling of safety and friendship and also has a positive effect on the mental health of the individual.

ADAPTING YOUR HOME AND MOBILITY

S

ometimes with age, illness, or after an accident, mobility can become a major concern and it may become more difficult to move around the home. Home adaptations are changes you can make to your home that are designed to make it safer and easier to move around and do everyday tasks. Getting up and down the stairs, getting out of bed and taking a bath or a shower need not pose the problems they sometimes do thanks to an array of solutions available. It is possible to adapt your home so that it better suits your needs.

If you are a wheelchair user then doorways can be widened and access to your property can be made easier with ramps, hand rails, better outdoor lighting and intercom systems for answering the door.

Kitchen worktops can be lowered to help you retain your independence in the kitchen.

Do you struggle getting up out of bed or a chair?

The installation of grab rails as well as leg lifter straps will help with this. Riser and recliner chairs are an extremely popular furniture choice for the elderly as they allow for increased independence, mobility and comfort. Able to be adjusted for sitting, standing and reclining, riser and recliner chairs allow for bespoke comfort at the push of a button.

You can have a second bannister fitted to help you with the stairs, or even have a stair lift or wheelchair lift installed. Bathrooms can also be adapted in

many ways with the installation of hoists or bath lifts, specially adapted showers and wet rooms.

If you, or someone you know needs help to do everyday tasks or you’re worried about falling, speak to social services and ask for a home assessment.

GET HELP WITH COSTS OF HOME ADAPTIONS Many small adaptations are often free. Your local social services should pay for each adaptation that costs less than £1,000. This usually includes things such as: • Grab rails • A concrete ramp or steps • Automatic lights that come on when someone is at your front door

You might be able to get help with costs for more expensive adaptations such as the installation of a wet room or the widening of doors around the home. You can try to get a grant from the following:

• Disabled Facilities Grant • Independence at Home

Often designed for easy access, including lifts, to help you continue to live independently plus the 24 hour emergency care line for additional peace of mind.

The students will be playing a programme of music for the piano including works by Bach, Schubert and Debussy. Tickets for Parbold Douglas Music’s concert are available from www.parbolddouglasmusic.org.

School of Rock heading to Liverpool next year

SCHOOL of Rock - The Musical, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s smash hit, award-winning West End show, will go on a major UK Tour in 2021, arriving at the Liverpool Empire from October 18-23 next year.

Based on the hilarious hit movie, this new musical follows Dewey Finn, a failed, wannabe rock star who decides to earn a few extra bucks by posing as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school.

There he turns a class of straight-A students into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band – sensationally performed live by the production’s young actors every night with roofraising energy!

While teaching these pint-sized prodigies what it means to truly rock, Dewey falls for the school’s beautiful, but uptight headmistress, helping her rediscover the wild child within.

Featuring 14 new songs from Andrew Lloyd Webber and all the original songs from the movie, this high-octane smash delivers face-melting guitar riffs and touching romance in equally awesome doses.

The production opened at the New London Theatre (now the Gillian Lynne Theatre) in November 2016 to 5-star reviews and widespread critical acclaim.

It went on to win the Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement in Music.

The Broadway production recently concluded its run at the Winter Garden Theatre with a US national touring production continuing.

An Australian production opened at Her Majesty’s Theatre in Melbourne last October.

School of Rock - The Musical features new music written by Andrew Lloyd Webber with lyrics by Glenn Slater (The Little Mermaid, Sister Act) and a book by Julian Fellowes.

The London production of The School of Rock

It is directed by Laurence Connor (Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, London Palladium 2019) with choreography by JoAnn M.Hunter, set and costume designs by Anna Louizos, lighting design by Natasha Katz, sound design by Mick-Potter, music supervision by John Rigby with Matt Smith as musical director.

Andrew Lloyd Webber is the composer of some of the world’s best known musicals including Cats, Evita, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Jesus Christ Superstar, The Phantom of the Opera (which this year celebrates its 30th anniversary) and Sunset Boulevard.

In New York, School of Rock – The Musical, a stage version of the movie, is currently running alongside

Cats and Phantom of the Opera, equalling Lloyd Webber ’s previous record of three shows running simultaneously on Broadway.

His awards, both as composer and producer, include seven Tonys, seven Oliviers, a Golden Globe, an Oscar, the Praemium Imperiale, the Richard Rodgers Award for Excellence in Musical Theatre, a BASCA Fellowship, the Kennedy Center Honor and a Grammy for Best Contemporary Classical Composition for Requiem, his setting of the Latin Requiem mass which contains one of his best known compositions, Pie Jesu.

He owns seven London theatres including the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, the New London Theatre and the London Palladium.

Review by Henry James

Ince Blundell Village Hall

ONE of the highlights of Matthew Bourne’s production of The Red Shoes was the music by Bernard Herrmann, who was the man behind the scores to some of Alfred Hitchcock’s most famous films, such as Psycho and Vertigo.

This show, which was at the Liverpool Empire last week, uses music Herrmann wrote for films, including Fahrenheit 451 and Citizen Kane and had been reorchestrated for the ballet.

It is based on the film by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger and the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale.

Ballerina Victoria Page (Ashley Shaw) was the lead character and the ballet followed her conflict as she had to choose, which is more important to her - her personal life or her career.

Victoria’s talent was observed by the impresario Boris Lermontov (Reece Causton) who cast her in a ballet, which is based on the Hans Christian Andersen’s tale, The Red Shoes. Lermontov employed the composer Julian Craster (Dominic North) to compose the ballet.

A relationship begun to build between Craster and Victoria.

Bourne’s choreography was cleverly done and showed the interactions between the main characters.

Shaw was outstanding in the main role and expressed herself well through her ballet moves.

You can see why she won a National Dance Award for her role as Victoria Page in the original 2016 production.

The sets in the production were colourful and

MICROSCOPIC germs have succeeded where recessions, Greta Thunberg and the interminable, crowd-repelling dullness of the Vauxhall Astra MkIII have failed. The Geneva Motor Show has been cancelled.

In a twist that seems straight out of War of the Worlds, Europe’s big salvo of new car launches and your chance to drool over the latest Ferrari/Porsche/Bugatti has been ditched just three days before it was due to open, due to concerns over the spread of Coronavirus.

I suspect the organisers didn’t especially want to axe this year’s event – barely a week earlier, they held a press conference to say all those shiny car launches would be going ahead as planned – but in the end a decision by Switzerland’s Federal Council to cancel any public gatherings of more than 1,000 people made the decision for them.

As a car nut it’s gutting, but also a tad worrying.

It's had all sorts of immediate knock-on effects for the car industry – VW, for instance, had meticulously planned a whole

series of new car reveals and facelifts for this year’s show, but stepped back at the last minute and had to introduce them as part of a live stream online instead.

The European Car of the Year (the Peugeot 208, seeing as you’re asking) was announced behind closed doors, presumably by a load of nervous-looking people scrolling through their smartphones for somewhere, anywhere, that sells face masks.

Hyundai’s latest concept car, the all-electric Prophecy, no longer has a show where people can ponder which bits will make it into production.

It’s even directly impacted car production, too; Aiways was due to launch its first new SUV here next month, but because it’s made in China production’s been hit by the virus containment measures, and the launch has been pushed back to August.

But for me the biggest worry isn’t the disease itself but what might happen should the sort of measures already being taken in France and Switzerland be carried out here.

Remember all those car shows – and all sorts of other big outdoor events, for that matter – that got cancelled during the Foot and Mouth outbreak back in 2001? Necessary, of course, but a nightmare for virtually everyone involved, particularly all the venue owners who lost out.

A repeat of that, particularly if the Government tries to contain any UK spread of the virus by banning big public gatherings, doesn’t sound that far-fetched at the moment. No one’s planning to cancel anything at the moment, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed for anyone who’s got a big show planned over the next few months.

Fifth generation of load-lugger to go on sale in the UK later this year VOLKSWAGEN has just unveiled a new version of its Caddy van and people carrier, due to go on sale here later this year.

The fifth generation of the German load-lugger is being described by its maker as ‘a smartphone on wheels’ on account of its digital control systems and its inbuilt infotainment systems, and its range of TDi diesel engines are said to

be kinder to the environment and more efficient than the outgoing model.

As before it’ll be offered in van form (the Cargo models) and as a people carrier.

Go to www.volkswagen.co.uk for more information.

Right: Expect the new VW Caddy to go on sale here in the UK later this year

Bucks made to pay price for missed chances Skelmersdale United 2 Bootle 1 BOOTLE manager Joe Doran will be glad to see the back of February after his side were beaten by Skelmersdale United at JMO Sports Park, writes Connor O’Neill.

Coming into the month on the back of a good run of form, expectations were high at the Berry Street Garage Stadium, but Doran’s side have now lost three of their last four league games played in the month, two of which were against promotion-rivals Ashton Athletic and Rylands.

New signing Ben Hodkinson was included in the Bucks' starting line-up for the game against Paul McNally ’s side, while fellow new recruit James Hooper was named on the bench.

And things started well for the Bucks who created a host of chances, and took the lead just after the half-hour mark through a Carl Peers thunderbolt.

But not for the first time this season, the Bucks paid the price for failing to take their chances as with just under 20 minutes remaining Jordan Tyler restored parity.

Then just over a minute later and things went from bad to worse for Bootle when Jason Carey broke free before finishing past Ryan Jones in the Bootle goal.

To cap a bad day for the Bucks,

Peers had a penalty saved by Ben Barnes in the final 10 minutes.

The result is a further setback for Doran’s promotion-chasing side, with drastic action now needed at the Berry Street Garage Stadium to get their season back on track.

The result leaves Bootle in third place in the North West Counties Premier Division table, three points ahead of Charnock Richard who have played two games more.

Bootle are due to visit Irlam on Saturday.

Remyca climb out of drop zone Litherland Remyca 3 Congleton 0 LITHERLAND Remyca climbed out of the relegation zone after a convincing win against Congleton.

Goals from George Donnelly, David Crist and James Murphy were enough for Phil Stafford's team to leapfrog Hanley Town, who didn’t play last weekend.

Remyca broke the deadlock on 12 minutes, when Ordish broke down left and put a ball through to Donnelly who calmly slotted the ball past the keeper.

It was 2-0 on 40 minutes.

Ordish provided another assist for the team when he swung in a corner and the resulting cross was headed home by Crist with a great finish past David Parton.

Remyca were quick out of

the blocks in the second half and started well with some good play in midfield freeing Murphy down the left only for his cross to come to nothing.

Congleton struggled in the wind to really create anything meaningful going forward and it was the home side who seemed to be dealing with the conditions.

Einar White, Ashton Clements and Speed combined effectively to create a third goal for Litherland on 71 minutes when Speed's shot was parried by the keeper and Murphy followed up to tap home.

Remyca were well worth their win and never really looked in trouble after going 1-0 up earlier in the game.

Remyca travel to Longridge Town this Saturday.

Captain leads the way as Marine keep up promotion push Marine 3 Droylsden 1 MARINE captain Niall Cummins scored a brace to help his side continue their push for promotion, writes Tom Clarke.

On a very windy Saturday afternoon at the Marine Travel Arena, the Mariners made it ten goals in two games against Droylsden after beating them 7-0 earlier this season.

Neil Young’s side started the game strongly again, with chances coming from Mark Howarth and Morecambe loanee Michael Howard.

Josh Solomon-Davies got forward well to win several corners for his side throughout the afternoon, an early one falling to Danny Shaw who was denied

well by Droylsden stopper Elliot Wynne.

Captain Niall Cummins opened the scoring in the 24th minute, poking in from another corner to give his Mariners the lead.

The striker had another chance almost immediately after, but his shot into an open goal was blocked at the last by a Droylsden defender.

Howard and Shaw both went close to extending Marine's lead, while Josh Solomon-Davies made an off-the-line clearance at the other end to prevent an equaliser.

Dominic Smith replaced Rhys Clooney at half-time for the visitors, and the substitute made an impact just four minutes into the second period, striking low into the corner past Dan Atherton to equalise.

Home debutant Howard restored Mar-

ine's lead on 67 minutes, converting a Solomon-Davies centre in front of a jubilant MTA stand.

Jordan Lussey was forced off with a knee injury shortly after the goal, with James Devine coming on to take his place.

Anthony Miley had a rare double-chance to extend Marine's lead as the second half wore on, but Wynne had other ideas.

The wind increased in the second half, with the aforementioned MTA stand almost taking flight at several points.

Cummins added another from close range in the dying seconds to complete the victory at 3-1.

Neil Young’s side are at home again this Saturday, when they entertain Tadcaster Albion in a recently rescheduled fixture in a 3pm kick-off.

Maghull frustrated by weather again MAGHULL’S scheduled West Cheshire League First Division encounter against reigning champions Newton at Old Hall Field fell victim to the weather on Saturday.

The Reserve teams Second Division contest on the 4G surface at the Lord Derby Academy ground at Huyton

against Rainhill Town Reserves went ahead as planned.

Unfortunately it proved to be a fruitless contest for the Maghull side as they produced one of their most disappointing performances of the season against a much changed and greatly

improved home side who ran out comfortable 4-0 victors in blustery conditions.

Next Saturday Maghull travel to the Wirral for a First Division match against Ellesmere Port Town when the visitors will be looking to reverse the three goals to one scoreline when the teams

met at Old Hall Field earlier in the season.

At Maghull the Reserves have another tough test as they play hosts to current unbeaten division two league leaders Prescot Cables Reserves.

Both matches kick off at 3pm.

Firwood Waterloo match at Altrincham called off FIRWOOD Waterloo’s scheduled match at Altrincham Kersal was called off on Saturday.
