Santander on Stanley Road

Cash box stolen in raid on bank BANK robbers crashed a car into a Santander branch in Bootle before fleeing the scene with an ATM cash box.

The raiders used a silver Mazda saloon to drive into the bank on Stanley Road at around 7.40pm on Friday, March 15.

Merseyside Police are investigating the cash in transit robbery and are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.

A spokesperson said: “The offenders managed to gain access to the bank by forcing the doors before making off in the car with a cash box.

“The car is believed to have travelled towards Stanley Road in the direction of the city centre, then turning right along Merton Grove, in front of the Gala Bingo Hall. Following this, at around 9pm, a car believed to be involved in the incident was located on Eldon Place.

However the offenders are currently outstanding.

“Officers are continuing their investigations by undertaking CCTV, forensic and house to house enquiries but are asking anyone that witnessed the incident to contact @MerPolCC or call 101 quoting log 895 of 15/3/19 - any information you have, no matter how small, could lead us to the individuals responsible for this crime.”

A NETHERTON cafe is raising money to feed hundreds of children from families in poverty, over the school holidays.

Gourmet Cafe, on Marian Square, is owned and run by Chris Brown who has come up with a ‘Holiday Hunger’ campaign to provide meals to youngsters across the local area.

He has developed links with three schools and over the Easter holiday he is expected to deliver hot meals to around 60 children as well as welcome them into his cafe if they are able to travel.

But ambitious Chris has plans to reach even more youngsters across Sefton and Liverpool, so an ongoing fundraiser has been set-up to allow locals to donate to help him pay for more food and deliveries.

Chris told the Champion: “This project is entirely self-funded and as far as I’m aware no one else is doing anything like this Holiday Hunger campaign.

It started by us taking food into the city centre to feed homeless people and the idea developed from this.”

Already on board with Holiday Hunger are Our Lady of Walsingham Primary School, Holy Spirit Primary School, and St Oswalds Primary School, all in Bootle. Continued inside

Only 20% of households now taking part so scheme is ‘no longer sustainable’ Report by Danielle Thompson FOOD waste caddy collections are to be scrapped in Sefton later this year because not enough residents are using the scheme, council chiefs say.

According to the council less than 20% of households in the borough now take part in the scheme with the amount of waste dropping drastically since it was introduced in 2010.

This means the service is now too costly to run and the council will seek further guidance from the Department for the Environment on the future for food waste collections.

A Sefton Council spokesperson said: “The amount of food waste collected by Sefton’s Food Waste Collection Service has fallen from 5,000 tonnes in 2010 to just 1,300 tonnes collected per annum.

“This means that less than 20% of households in the borough take part in the scheme.

“It currently costs over three times as much to collect a food caddy as a bin.

“Unfortunately, this means that the current service costs too much to run in terms of the impact it has and is no longer sustainable.

“As a result, Sefton Council will suspend the current food caddy service later this year and await further guidance from DEFRA on the future for food waste collections.

“When this guidance is published, the council will undertake a full review of how we best deal with

The caddy collection service will be axed

food waste in the future.

“Sefton Council is committed to improving how we reduce, reuse and recycle waste.

“As a result of this commitment, Sefton continues to collect the highest percentage of recyclable waste (36.9%) in the Liverpool City Region.

“Households that currently use food waste bins will instead be asked to put food waste in to their grey bin.

“This waste does not go to landfill, but instead is utilised to generate electricity for the National Grid.”

Motorist who fled scene of accident, ‘panicked’ court told A MOTORIST has appeared in court for fleeing the scene of an accident where he caused another car to spin out of control, collide with a van and crash through a garden wall.

Neil Gerard Maguire, 39, of Georgia Close, Bootle, pleaded guilty to driving without due care and attention, failing to stop after an accident and failing to report an accident to police within 24 hours, when he appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court on February 27.

Angela Blackmore, prosecuting, said that at 4.35pm on December 18 he pulled out of Middleton Road onto Queensway in Waterloo, in a Ford C-Max and collided with a passing Ford Mondeo.

“He hits the offside of the Mondeo, causing it to spin, collide with the front nearside corner of a transit van and then crash through a garden wall,” she said. “Both the Mondeo and the transit van were damaged along with the wall.”

The court heard that the Ford vehicle was a motability car registered to his 82-year-old grandmother. Maguire had four previous convictions for nine offences, including a conviction from 2002 for failing to stop after a road traffic collision, the prosecutor said.

Defence solicitor Tony Murphy claimed Maguire had later made attempts to contact police and fully cooperated with officers. Asking the court not to disqualify him from driving Mr Murphy said that Maguire uses the car to help both his grandmother and her brother and was also hoping to start working for himself as an airport taxi driver, having already purchased a 17 seater vehicle for the purpose.

“There was no reason for him not to stay at the scene. It was a silly decision not to stay based on panic and nothing more.”

The magistrates gave him credit for his cooperation with police and took into consideration that he planned to start his own business.

Fining him a total of £320, and ordering that he pay £117 in costs and victim surcharge, they added eight points to his licence.

“That still gives you opportunity to start your new business,” they said.

District nurse was caught drug driving A DISTRICT nurse was caught drug driving, a court has heard.

Suzanne Marie Strain, 41, of Carr Meadow Hey, Netherton, appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court on March 6 where she pleaded guilty to two charges of driving with 65 micrograms of cocaine and 800 micrograms of benzoylecgonine per litre of blood – the legal limit being 10 mcg/l and 50 mcg/l respectively. Benzoylecgonine is produced in the liver on the breakdown of cocaine.

Prosecutor Rob Youds said that Strain was stopped on Bath Street, Waterloo on February 12, and was blood tested after a road side drug test proved positive for cocaine. She had a previous conviction from 2009 for assault on a police officer, the prosecutor said.

Her defence solicitor told the court Strain does not habitually take drugs and didn't realise that she would still be over the limit.

Strain was fined £110, banned from driving for 12 months and ordered to pay £115 in costs and victim surcharge.

Disabled footballers become referees MEMBERS of a Netherton-based football team for people with disabilities will find out what it's like to enforce the rules of the game after qualifying as referees.

Seven players from the Dunningsbridge side, run by adult social care provider New Directions, successfully completed the Liverpool County Football Association (LFCA) law awareness course at Greenbank Sports Academy in south Liverpool.

The qualification means they are now entitled to officiate in any disability football match or tournament.

The LCFA course focused on the 17 laws of football, and how these laws should be implemented by referees.

The Dunningsbridge players were also given advice on effective decision making, how misconduct should be reported and movement and positioning.

The new ‘men in the middle’ received their certificates at a ceremony at Greenbank Sports Academy this week.

Team coach Karl Hughes, an Advanced Care Worker at the New Directions South Hub in Netherton where the team is based, said: “The players showed a lot of interest in this course and I am very pleased they’ve completed it successfully.

“It’s given them another string to their bow in terms of their football-related skills, and also provided them with an insight into the challenges that referees face at all levels of the sport.”

One of the newly qualified referees, Richard

Cash up for grabs to help community projects but time is running out to apply Report by Tom Martin GROUPS and individuals from Bootle who want to carry out projects to benefit the community can apply for a slice of funding.

Locals in the Linacre ward of Sefton can apply for between £250 and £1,000 from the Environmental Improvements Fund, which is run by the council and Bootle-based firm Regenerus.

Applications from established community and voluntary organisations are welcome, but the fund is also open to informal groups of friends or neighbours joining forces to work on a oneoff green project.

Organisers say they expect applications for a wide range of projects, from groups wishing to hire skips for a neighbourhood clean-up to residents looking to

l Players from the Dunningsbridge team receive their refereeing certificates.

Gillette, said: “I enjoyed the course and I’m pleased to have got my certificate. Now I’d like to work towards a coaching qualification in the future.”

The Dunningsbridge team plays in the LFCA Disability Football League, and New Directions hosts an annual disability football tournament for teams from across Merseyside.

create a new community garden on local wasteland.

Cllr Trish Hardy, Sefton Council’s Cabinet Member for Communities and Housing said: “This scheme will be a brilliant boost to the local community and we are delighted to be working alongside Regenerus in making sure we can make local grotspots a thing of the past.

“We want community groups to come forward and apply for this funding so they can improve the areas that they live in to make them better, brighter and more enjoyable for all.”

Projects need to be able to operate within the fund guidelines, and so must comply with all relevant legislation, for example health and safety and working on the highway regulations.

Advice will be available from Regenerus and Sefton Council to make sure this issue doesn’t pre-

vent a project from going ahead.

Organisers hope it will improve the environment in Linacre ward, the projects will achieve the additional benefits of creating new friendships, promoting volunteering and getting young people involved in looking after their neighbourhood.

Ruth Livesey of Regenerus added: “We are delighted to manage this scheme which will complement our other initiatives to improve the local environment and the lives of members of our local communities, such as the Taking Root in Bootle project.

“We believe that over time all the small-scale projects supported by the fund will make a big difference to the local environment.”

For further information about the Environmental Improvements Fund, call Regenerus on 0151 934 2637. The closing date for applications is March 31.

The Crosby Road North and Great Georges Road junction.

Junction revamp plan to ease congestion Report by Tom Martin A MAJOR junction in Waterloo is in line for a revamp as Sefton Council look to improve traffic flow for both motorists and cyclists.

The council wants to alter the Crosby Road North and Great Georges Road junction with plans to restrict certain traffic movements, bring in a better crossing facility for pedestrians and reduce the potential for accidents.

The proposals also include the introduction of a cycle lane on Great Georges Road as part of a new cycle route between Crosby Marine Park and Rimrose Valley Country Park.

The work would be part of the council's longterm aim of improving traffic flow along the busy

Crosby Road North, following the changes made to the layout of its junction with South Road last year.

But this time it could prove a little more tricky for the council, as the ‘Five Lamps War Memorial’ is located at the Great Georges Road junction, so they say widening the road would be difficult.

The planned changes will also help cyclists, as the council say they have received complaints that it can be difficult navigating the junction.

Other ideas to be explored by the council are to introduce a one-way traffic order on the section of Bramhall Road at the junction, therefore removing the right turn, and regulating traffic flow on Crosby Road North.

They also want to ban the left turn manoeuvre from Great Georges Road onto Crosby Road North to improve traffic flow and also to install a Toucan crossing for pedestrians.

Drink driver fled scene of accident at mention of police December 7 of last year. “Mr Beckwith got out of the vehicle and spoke with the female driver of the Audi at the scene and the driver informed her that he had been drinking,” Mr Page said. “He then made off from the scene, leaving the passenger behind.

A moment later the passenger also left the vehicle.”

Mr Page said that the female driver afterwards saw Beckwith go to the Queens Arms pub on Warbreck Moor and she called police.

Mr Page said that tests showed Beckwith also had 70 micrograms of benzoylecgonine in his blood and was driving without insurance. Benzoylecgonine is produced in the liver on the break down of drug cocaine

and the legal limit when driving is 50 mcg/l.

The court heard Beckwith had previous convictions for drink-driving from 2009 and for failing to provide a sample of breath for analysis in 2014, which meant he was subject to a mandatory minimum driving ban for three years.

Solicitor Mike Leeman said that Beckwith, a warehouse operative, had been drinking after driving. “The defendant had gone over to talk with the driver of the other vehicle. He does say that he had been drinking, he offers to pay for the damage but it becomes clear that the witness is going to phone the police so he panics and leaves the scene.”

Mr Leeman said that Beckwith, who the probation service said was “extremely remorseful and ashamed and embarrassed for what he has done”, had been planning to hand himself in the following day and had taken cocaine two or three days before the incident.

He had cancelled his car insurance a few weeks earlier when his car was stolen and had not renewed it.

The magistrates banned Beckwith from driving for 40 months, ordered that he undertake 100 hours of unpaid work, and attend 10 days of rehabilitative activity with the probation service.

He was also ordered to pay costs and victim surcharge of £170.

Report by Tom Martin THE closed-down Poundworld store in the Strand Shopping Centre has been taken over by a new discount store – which has hired most of the former staff!

One Below will open its doors for the first time this Friday (March 22) after taking over the former Poundworld unit in the shopping centre.

It will create 20 jobs and many of the former staff who lost their jobs when the Poundworld shop went into administration in 2018 have been given new employment at the One Below store.

The new independent chain claims it sells more than 5,000 products for £1 and under, with the Bootle branch being its 15th in the UK, with plans to open ten more in the North West this year creating 200 retail jobs for the region.

One Below is being independently financed and launched by father and son entrepreneurs, Christopher Edwards and Christopher Edwards Snr. The successful retail businessmen from Wakefield, were the original founders of former high street retailer, Poundworld Retail Limited before it was sold to American private equity conglomerate, TPG Capital in 2014 Christopher Edwards, 36, managing director of One Below Retail Limited said: “We’re proud to be launching one of our first One Below stores in Bootle.

“We’re happy to be able to employ many of the former Poundworld staff, including our store manager, who were some of the 6,000 employees to have lost their jobs when the new owners of the business, TPG Capital, sent Poundworld in to administration in 2018.

From page 1 Chris added: “The devastating reality is that during the school holidays many children- and even babies - are going without food and live completely under the radar, tired, empty and feeling alone.

“Our project was first piloted over the Christmas period with great success and an amazing response from people supporting this cause.

“We got the opportunity to offer hot meals every day for children over the Christmas holidays and even though this was a great success we realised just how big an issue this is.

“We were overwhelmed by the generosity and support from everyone who gave in their own special way for the Christmas campaign which allowed us to bring some light to these families on this special day. Now we are looking to reach even more families.

“We really want to expand into other areas and if we could feed 150 kids that would be my aim.

We make all kinds of different meals and so far we’ve provided the likes of spag bol, bangers and mash and pasta bake.

“The families are really moved by it and we've had thank you drawings from some of the kids which we put up in the cafe.”

WOODWARD ROAD HAMMOND ROAD

POLICE have stepped up patrols around schools in Bootle to stop parents illegally parking when picking up their children.

Locals in the area have complained that vehicles are regularly left across driveways, on double yellow lines and on pavements making it difficult for pedestrians to walk past.

Officers were in the area last week to monitor the situation and a post from Sefton

Police’s Facebook account showed a picture of a white car parked outside the entrance of Lander Road Primary School.

A spokesperson for Merseyside Police said: “Community officers have been out at local schools reinforcing the message that drivers should not use vehicles in a way that endangers children’s and other road user's safety.

“The kind of parking shown here outside Lander Road Primary School puts children’s lives at risk when they try to cross the A car parked outside Lander Road Primary road.

Care home given a ‘Good’ rating

ATTENTION!!!

Exciting Opportunities for as little as £16 per day...

Report by Tom Martin A BOOTLE care home has been given a ‘Good’ rating by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) following an unannounced inspection.

Willow Gardens Residential and Nursing Home, which provides care for up to 43 people, received the rating after it was assessed across five categories - care, safety, leadership, effectiveness and responsiveness.

The report said people felt safe living at the home and were well cared-for, with inspectors observing “warm and positive interactions” between staff and the people they were caring for.

Care records were up-to-date and contained detailed information about residents’ individual routines and preferences, enabling staff to deliver

highly-personalised care.

Inspectors noted the wide variety of activities on offer for residents to take part in and that the service had its own minibus, with residents having a say in the places they wished to visit.

Home manager, Carol McMillan, said: “We’re delighted to receive a ‘Good’ rating from the CQC, which is testament to the hard work of my team and their commitment to delivering high-quality, person-centred care.”

Students enjoy trip to London HUGH Baird students took a trip to London with the aim of discovering the history of the English language.

The students’ first stop was at the Harry Potter Studios tour to learn how JK Rowling created the multibillion franchise all from a series of books based on fantasy creative writing.

Next the students took a stop at the British Library to dive into the history of English language and literature.

Hannah Devine, Hugh Baird College A-level English Literature student, said: “I absolutely loved the Harry Potter tour, I am a huge fan of the books and films and it really brought them to life. It was a fun way to learn new styles of writing and understand all the details behind the amazing franchise.”

The students final stop was the Bloomsbury district.

The Bloomsbury Group was a circle of writers, artists and intellectuals featuring Virginia Woolf. The students researched into Virginia Woolf to see the history behind the well-known writer.

The judging committee, led by local author and historian Hugh Hollinghurst, has assessed all the images, chosen its winners and now invites students and their families to a presentation event in St Luke's Church, Crosby at 7pm on Tuesday, March 26.

The competition, run jointly by Crosby Camera Club and The Rotary Club of Crosby, asked budding photographers to go out with their cameras and create images on the subject of ‘Architectural Sefton.’ All winners will be announced on the night, with first place winning ÂŁ50 and a silver salver, ÂŁ25 for the second place image and a ÂŁ10 prize for third

place in each category. There will also be certificates awarded for commended and highly commended images.

A spokesperson for Crosby Camera Club said: “Well done to all the talented young photographers from our community who produced photographic prints for our 2019 competition. “We were pleased to receive entries from a number of local schools, with the work being of an impressive standard. It was difficult to pick our winners, but we look forward to welcoming them all and celebrating their artistic achievements.�

LETTERS to the Editor Proper crossing is needed by the post office Trying to cross Linacre Road by the post office at the bottom of Linacre Lane is becoming so dangerous now that an accident is going to happen.

One day recently there were two cars and a van parked by the post office and three cars parked on the other side, all on double yellow lines.

A mother with her baby in a pram was trying to see around the van to see if it was safe to cross.

I dread to think what could have happened.

When are we going to get a proper crossing like the three others sited around the roundabout?

Reopening roads is only way Keep up the good work Merseyrail to solve traffic congestion I feel I have to add my voice in regard to the traffic backlogs being caused along Moor Lane.

The nightmare of driving home has been completely created by the flawed decisions of the councillors who closed off Edgemoor Drive.

They have inconvenienced residents who live nearby because now instead of being able to simply turn up Edgemoor and directly home, they are forced to join bumper to bumper traffic onto Edge Lane before being able to access their own roads.

The extra traffic has created danger spots such as turning left from Green Lane onto Moor Lane.

At this point it is difficult to see how the traffic is queuing until you are already turning.

Quite often now, the traffic is already overflowing, leaving cars stuck in the yellow box area.

Then, on the next stretch approaching Aldi, impatient drivers use the left hand turning lane, to move up the road before speeding up and illegally moving across to the ongoing right hand lane, narrowly

missing the ongoing queuing traffic. This again can leave drivers who have acted correctly, stuck in the yellow box area and blocking traffic as the lights change.

This is also where the rat run of The Crescent kicks in, with some drivers speeding through to jump ahead and some even turning right illegally.

Some drivers use Greenway to turn around and go back up Chesterfield in the opposite direction.

The logical thing to do is to open up Edgemoor Drive, and Cranfield and Rosemoor.

These roads were never designed to be closed off and if they were open, they would spread the load.

I understand that residents of these roads might not wish to experience through traffic again, but no doubt they also use Moor Lane, so what about the residents there?

Well done Merseyrail.

Regards the resent alterations to platforms, between Southport and Moorfields stations.

I would like to thank Merseyrail for their well co-ordinated bus replacement service.

We had express service, and stopping service, with friendly staff and drivers at each station to direct us to the correct bus.

All buses were on time and all went well.

You’re the best Merseyrail, keep up the good work.

Trains could be used to TV programme sends out the transport containers wrong message about Liverpool I’m writing to put forward a different way for the lorries to get cargo to and from the Port without having to build a road through Rimrose Valley.

There is a train line to Fiddlers Ferry so why can’t there be a parking area built there for the lorries to unload the containers onto a train to be taken to the docks from there and vice versa.

This would be easier and quicker as the motorways are already there. I want to know why this hasn’t been considered.

Jackie Carter, By email

Channel 5 is currently airing a series called “Who needs a man when you’ve got a spray tan?” about single mothers in Liverpool and I am forced to wonder precisely what message it is trying to convey.

I know that it isn’t tolerance.

If a programme had been made focusing on white hetero-sexual males which put out the message that women were only good for one thing, and beyond that, men could manage very well without them, it would be lambasted as being misogynistic and promoting hatred.

Yet here we have a TV programme which is doing exactly that only in reverse.

Sadly, relationship breakdowns are an everyday occurrence, but this programme seems to celebrate the benefits to be had from dumping your useless, male partner.

Is this really the message we want to convey as a society or how we want Liverpool to be portrayed?

RS, By email

Drivers cause vast majority of accidents Having read with interest the number of letters over the last few weeks with regards to the behaviour of both cyclists and drivers on the road, I think the time is right for a balanced view on this matter.

Being a collision investigator of 18 years having been involved in the investigation process for more than 37,000 collisions, many being catastrophic or fatal, I base my comments on fact and not assumptions or expectations of how we expect others to behave on the road.

It is clear that both cyclists and vehicle drivers view each other with a considerable amount of disrespect.

Both parties have equal right to be on the road and it is clear that prejudice against each party stems from misguided judgement with regards to following the rules of the Highway Code.

It is a very well acknowledged fact within the road safety industry that 95% of collisions on the road are a direct result of driver error.

Therefore, it is abundantly clear that actions of vehicle drivers and not cyclists, cause the vast majority of collisions.

However, we now live in a society were speed is the name of the game and a lot of drivers who get held up by someone driving slower or a cyclist, suddenly become an ‘Angry Motorist’ (as openly admitted by a letter writer in last week’s edition).

As a result, a driver’s mood and state of mind are then reflected in the way they drive, which is usually for the worse, thereby exposing other road users to a greater exposure to risk.

There is no point in saying cyclists should always use the road as directed in the Highway Code when the vast majority of vehicle drivers do not follow the Highway Code themselves ie: speeding, using a mobile phone when driving, not signalling when turning, jumping red traffic lights, tailgating, passing too close to other road users, parking on pavements, parking on double yellow lines and blocking cycle lanes to highlight just a few examples of poor and inconsiderate driving.

It is not about getting from A to B as quickly as possible but actually getting there safely.

Therefore, instead of complaining about how others use the road, everyone who uses the road should, in the first instance, take a long, hard objective look at themselves to see if they can honestly say they drive or cycle in accordance with the Highway Code and the current road traffic laws.

If the answer is no, then they need to consider changing their behaviour for the betterment of all other road users and potentially save lives.

There must be a place in doggy heaven for two Collies who looked after their blind mum I read a story the other day about a dog in a rescue kennel which suddenly went blind with a detached retina.

Apparently there is no hope of her ever getting her sight back so the kennels were trying to find a suitable new owner who could cope with her blindness and by now I'll bet they have found her a splendid new owner to look after her.

But this story reminded me of another dog afflicted with blindness as she got older - and this one had a very happy ending of a different sort.

She was a rough collie - very similar to my own Cinders - owned by the landlord of a pub I often frequented when I was living in Colchester and he and his wife became good friends of mine.

He had bred from her and the resultant two puppies were large (for a collie) dogs. Mum and her two sons were inseparable, so he kept them both.

Near to this pub was Colchester’s lovely Castle Park - a huge area of grassland and trees. It was where he normally let the dogs run free for a while each evening.

And this posed a problem for his much loved bitch.

Put simply, she could no longer see the wood for the trees - and started running into them. She too had gone blind.

The obvious answer was to keep her on a lead but her two offspring had another and better plan.

Having been told all about what they were doing, I forgot my pint for a while and went outside to watch the three of them.

It was truly an amazing and heart-warming sight.

The three of them, the two young dogs and their now blind mother, were running together in the park.

One of the dogs on each side of mum, and they were literally guiding her round the trees (and other obstacles such as litter bins and people)

while running at her top speed.

Nobody had taught them to do this - between them they had worked it out for themselves.

So if anybody thought dogs cannot possibly love other dogs and thinking of guide dogs, other people as well - perhaps they should think again.

I reckon for so long as she had her two sons to look after her, she had no need of a human with specialist training to keep her safe.

I reckon that dogs, having been around us and living with us for millennia, are quite capable of a very deep affection for us.

The trouble that dogs, again just like human beings, come with all sorts of temperaments.

In my experience, most dogs mix happily with others, despite the difference in breed and size, and are usually quite happy to mingle with different people as well.

It has been said that dogs instinctively know if a person doesn’t like them - and I think this is true, though whether it is as simple as that I do not know.

I remember, some years ago now, and with my previous Tina, we were in the foyer of Maghull Town Hall chatting to one of the security officers.

Folk were coming and going, some spoke to Tina, some simply walked past - and Tina was quite happy with either.

Then a chap came down the stairs - and as soon as she spotted him, Tina started to growl - a thing she never, ever, usually did.

I don’t know why she took this instant dislike to this bloke - but I would have been extremely careful if I had had any dealings with him.

They knows, yer know!

And I’ll tell you this. Assuming there is a heaven then I hope there is a place there for dogs.

Because the example of my landlord friend’s Collies was an example for us all.

Dancers have a spring in their step!

Evie Clark, Jesikka Rajkumar and Verity Clark with their certificates

YOUNG dancers from Crosby have a spring in their step after achieving impressive results in their recent exams.

A total of 24 children from Lamont School of Drama, based in Formby, sat their LAMDA exams (London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art) when they scored 22 Distinctions and two high Merits.

Three of the dancers, Evie Clark, Jesikka Rajkumar and Verity Clark, are friends from Merchant Taylor’s Girls’ School in Crosby and were delighted with their results.

Trophies for ‘exam excellence’ were also presented to the highest performing students, with The Junior Excellence Trophy going to seven-year-old Martha Last, from Formby, who achieved 96 marks.

Lamont Drama Principal, Diane Lamont, said: “I am absolutely delighted for all my pupils who worked extremely hard to achieve these spectacular results.

“They are all now working hard on perfecting their verse speaking, prose reading and acting for the Sefton Festival of Performing Arts held at Southport College at the end of March.

I am looking forward to seeing them all shine on stage.”

MPs search for NHS ‘healthcare heroes’ MPS across the North West have been asked to nominate their NHS healthcare heroes, for staff who go 'above and beyond' the call of duty.

The Parliamentary Awards celebrate NHS staff, carers and volunteers' hard work, innovative ideas and unwavering efforts to put patients first.

MPs are now searching for outstanding indi-

viduals in their local area for 2019 who have innovated, impressed and made a real difference to how the health service provides care for patients.

They have until April 26 to submit their nominations and they will choose one nomination per category and these will then be judged by senior local and regional NHS experts to find champions in every part of the country in each

category, to be announced in June. There are ten categories, including a Lifetime Achievement award to honour those who have devoted their life or career to making the NHS better, both for patients and those who work within it.

resigns from post after her chief quits Labour Party Report by Tom Martin

MERSEYSIDE'S Police Commissioner has quit the Labour Party in a move which then sparked the immediate resignation of her deputy.

Police and Crime Commissioner for Merseyside, Jane Kennedy, released a statement on Monday to say she has left Labour after becoming ‘deeply disturbed’ by the ‘antisemitic abuse’ suffered by Liverpool Wavertree MP Luciana Berger, and the recent announcement that former Militant member Derek Hatton had been readmitted into party membership.

She also confirmed her decision to quit Labour had led to the immediate resignation of her deputy police & crime commissioner, Councillor Emily Spurrell.

Police Commissioner Kennedy said: “I am disappointed to report that Emily Spurrell has chosen to resign from her post as my deputy. She has done so because I confirmed to her that I left the Labour Party after the resignation of Luciana Berger MP and the announcement that Derek Hatton had been re- Police Commissioner for Merseyside, Jane Kennedy (left) admitted into party membership.

Young Carers Support Service Carers Voice Carers Voice is an opportunity for unpaid carers to share their views and help influence future services in Sefton. The group meets every three months and use their experience as unpaid carers to provide ideas and suggestions to help improve the lives of others living in the borough.

Members of Carers Voice were recently asked to be part of a focus group to discuss the support and information that is needed when trying to balance the commitments of working and caring. In June 2018 the government published the Carers Action Plan which set out key priority areas of support for carers to be considered and includes the help carers need to be able to manage their working life in addition to their caring role.

Clare Johnston, Carers Voice Development Officer, said: “This focus group was a great opportunity for Sefton carers to have local input in this national focus on working carers, providing a platform for carers to have their say on what support they have received to date and what has been the most helpful - in addition to

discussing the support and help that would have been of benefit if it had been available.

“Balancing working and caring can be very difficult and the support carers receive from their employer is vital at this time to enable a carer to be able to maintain their own health and wellbeing, as well as being able to access the right information about health and social care services that can be of support.”

Carers Voice invites carers in Sefton to have their say on a number of issues throughout the year on both a national and local level. If you would like more information or would like to join the group then please contact Clare Johnston on 0151 288 6060 or email: clare.johnston@carers.sefton.gov.uk Carers UK, one of the leading national charities supporting carers, are conducting their annual State of Caring Survey until 24th May, 2019. If you can help paint a picture of what it’s like to be a carer in 2019 please complete the survey at their website: www.carersuk.org

Sefton Parent Carer Forum On Thursday 7th March, Sefton Parent Carer Forum held their AGM at the West Lancs Yacht Club on Marine Drive, Southport. The annual meeting was a chance for parents and carers of children with Special Education Needs or Disability (SEND) to meet and discuss services across the borough.

Sefton Carers Centre attended the event and are working with the forum to help increase the profile of parent carers in Sefton and let them know their rights as unpaid carers.

Annette Edmondson, from Sefton Parent Carer Forum, said: “The Forum provides a good opportunity for local parents to come together to discuss local issues and support the development of services in Sefton. We work with a number of partners in the borough across education, health and social care to make a difference for our children and young people in Sefton.

“Although we are very busy, it’s always a work in progress so to continue to build on our strengths and be able to make more of a difference we would welcome new members. If anyone feels they could volunteer, we currently have some spaces on the Steering Group to fill.

Even if you are not sure what you can offer or how much

Now in her mid-20’s Anna reflects upon her years as a young carer ‘I did everything that a young teenager shouldn’t have to do for their parents: wash them, toilet them, make the food, do the housework etc.‘ ‘The roles reverse and you become the parent.’

‘You carry a huge responsibility on your shoulders and you have to grow up quickly. It’s a rollercoaster of emotions: love, hate, resentment, fear, isolation and loneliness.

‘Caring changes your life and has a huge impact on your mental health and confidence’.

Anna now has a career and children of her own.

In Sefton today there are thousands of children and young people providing informal care for family members with a chronic illness or disability.

For many of these young carers the transition from childhood to adulthood can be much more difficult than for their peers who don’t have a caring role.

Young carers are less likely to go on to college, university, training or employment when they leave school and this can severely reduce their prospects throughout the rest of their lives.

Comedy club returns

ONE of the most exciting young comics to emerge in recent years is coming to the LOL Comedy Club at The Atkinson on Saturday, April 6 at 8pm.

Adam Rowe’s reputation is growing from exciting newcomer to international headline act since his debut in 2010.

Despite still being in his early 20s, Adam is already one of the most sought after acts and comperes in the country and is fast becoming a huge favourite at all of The UK’s biggest comedy clubs and festivals, as well as being asked to headline clubs as far afield as South Africa.

His natural, laid back persona combined with his brutally honest, opinionated stand-up and his ad-libbing ability make each of his performances unique and unpredictable.

He’s had four sell-out years at The Liverpool Comedy Festival (2013, 2014, 2015 & 2016), with his venue capacity almost doubling every year due to his growing hometown fan base.

2016 was a big year for Adam, with him taking his debut one-hour solo show to The Edinburgh Fringe Festival selling out a massive 18 dates of his run.

He also was asked to headline the prestigious AAA Stand-Up Show at The Pleasance Courtyard, which was the second of Edinburgh’s most sought-after showcases he’s been a part of after hosting The Big Value Showcase back in 2014.

In 2017, Adam released his debut one-hour stand-up special I Know What You’re Saying on various formats including DVD, download & USB flash drive.

The special was recorded across two sold-out nights at Hot Water Comedy Club in Liverpool and was co-produced by Adam’s own company; Front Row Productions.

He’ll also be taking his sophomore show ‘Unbearable’ to The Edinburgh Fringe Festival, before taking it on his debut nationwide UK tour.

Brick Up 2 - The Wrath Of Ann Twacky Royal Court Theatre, Liverpool WRITTEN by Dave Kirby and Nicky Allt, The Wrath of Ann Twacky is the follow-up to the immensely successful ‘Brick Up the Mersey Tunnel’ show which, back in 2006, set the standard for Royal Court comedies and has had years of sell-out revivals.

Star of the show again was Andrew Schofield who returned in the dual role of Scouser, Dickie Lewis, and his alter-ego Dee Estuary, with Eithne Browne as Ann Twacky, leading a group of Wirraleans who want to keep the Scousers on the other side of the Mersey.

Jack Abraham took over the Carl Chase role as Nick Walton, Danny Burns made a brief appearance as Eliot Neston and the glamorous Suzanne Collins was wasted with a small role as Maggie.

Obviously Brick Up 2 is relying on the popularity of the original show to sell the seats and on that score it is certainly succeeding but there is a saying in the theatre, ‘never go back’, and thirteen years, later the world is a different

A scene from Brick Up 2 - The Wrath Of Ann Twacky

place.

The dialogue was overladen with dated references (Bin Laden!), crude dirty jokes, bad language and blatant sexual innuendos and the sight of Roy Brandon’s mooning bare bottom or Francis Tucker, as Liz Card, a crossdressing nymphomaniac and incessant groper, belonged to another age. Things have moved on.

Having said that, the audience never stopped

laughing and the more the cast themselves deliberately missed their lines, fooled about and played to the audience, the more they enjoyed it.

For me though, the best part of the show was the music. The band, (Danny Burns, Adam Keast & Francis Tucker), Eithne Browne and Suzanne Collins’ singing and Roy Brandon’s sax playing took it to another level.

Star rating: 5 out of 10. Out of its time.

Orchestra welcome back guest pianist SOUTHPORT Orchestra is to welcome back Tom Kimmance as guest pianist to their first concert for 2019.

This is to be held on Saturday, March 30. Starting at 7.30 pm.

The concert will be hosted by St. John’s Church, St. John’s Road, Birkdale, Southport PR8 4JP where Tom will be performing Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 5 Empero’ in Eb major Op. 73.

Born in Liverpool, Tom Kimmance is well known

both in the north west and further afield as an accomplished pianist capable of wowing audiences with his skill and interpretation of a wide range of music.

He is a close associate of Southport Orchestra having played with them on a number of previous occasions.

Tom gained his music degree at Liverpool University In addition to Beethoven’s Piano Concerto the

orchestra will also perform The Roman Carnival Overture by Berlioz and Borodin’s Symphony No. 2 in B minor. The concert promises music to suit everyone’s taste and organisers expect a capacity audience.

Tickets are now on sale (£10 for adults, £5 for under 18s) and can be obtained from Southport Christian Book Centre, Wesley Street, Southport (Tel. 01704 542226) or by e-mailingsouthportorchestratickets@gmail.com

James Bond will be given his first electric car for his next spy mission

I’d love to see James Bond settle down for a lifetime of school runs

SPOILER alert – by which I don’t mean the enormous thing you’ll find sprouting from the back of Honda’s Civic Type R. The next Bond movie is the one where 007 finally settles down for a lifetime of school runs and trips to Sainsbury’s.

Forget any rumours you might have read about the next cinematic outing for Britain’s top MI6 operative being a modern-day retelling of On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.

Or that its working title, Shatterhand, alludes to a SPECTRE mastermind previously only mentioned in the books and thus sets Bond up for a showdown with Blofeld’s right-hand man.

Nope, the 25th film in the series is the one where 007, having chatted up Madeleine Swann in the last movie, gets married, takes her on a honeymoon to Prestatyn and they have kids a year or two later.

Awwww, Daniel Craig’s take on the orphaned assassin has finally grown up!

I know this not because I’ve got pals at Pinewood Studios, but simply on the choice of car that he’ll be driving in the next film.

Elsewhere in the press you might have read about how the new Aston Martin Rapide E is the first time that a 00-agent has been

assigned a zero emissions car – nothing wrong with that, of course – but the thing that grabs me that, no matter how cool it looks, it’s a four-door saloon.

A four-door saloon. It’s only the second time in the entire history of the Bond films that’s happened, and on the last occasion it was an Avis-rented BMW that Pierce Brosnan promptly did the right thing by

sending it straight off the top of a multi-storey car park.

The fact that 007’s next set of wheels is an Aston Martin, of course, is entirely right. But why does Bond need an extra set of doors?

Has he been told that the Ministry of Defence, due to ongoing budget cuts, is insisting on car-sharing with colleagues and that from now on, he’s going to have to give 004, 006 and 009 lifts to their next missions?

I know that Aston Martin is very keen to, er, plug its first all-electric model on the big screen but James Bond is the sort of bloke with no need for a big boot and decent rear legroom – in other words, he needs the newly-launched Vantage, which thanks to its Mercedes-sourced, twin-turbo V8 is not only more sensibly reliable than the Astons of old but looks the part and sounds great too.

It has room for our plucky Brit, a femme fatale, some concealed weaponry and nothing else.

Now, that’s a Bond car.

That’s why I can only assume that Bond’s married-with-children in the next film, because the Rapide’s more B&Q than Q-branch.

That, or they’ve picked completely the wrong car.

Bucks win again to Brown scores on close gap on leaders debut for Marine Whitchurch Alport 1 Bootle 3 GOALS from Ryan Cox, Carl Peers, and Connor Millington helped Bootle make it 15 straight league wins, writes Connor O’Neill.

Maghull’s cup hopes are blown away by Redgate Redgate Rovers 2 Maghull 1 IN horrendous conditions at the JMO Centre in Skelmersdale last Saturday Maghull disappointingly bowed out of the West Cheshire League’s Pyke Cup Competition by the odd goal in three at the hands of hosts Redgate Rovers.

The home side were deserved victors as they adapted themselves better to the gale force wind and driving rain and showed a determination which was lacking in a very disappointing display from the visitors.

Tom Bundark and Jacob Jones were the scoring heroes for Rovers with Tom Wharton netting for a

Maghull side suffering semi-final heartache for the second successive season.

The youthful Maghull Reserve side pulled off a notable victory when they went to Ellesmere Port and defeated current division two league leaders Capenhurst Villa by three goals to one Dave Lynch bagged a brace taking his tally to nine in the last five games with Matt McHale completing the scoreline.

Next Saturday Maghull face another stern test when they visit second in the table Rainhill Town in the first division while at Old Hall Field Maghull Reserves play hosts to Litherland Remyca Development in a second division encounter. Both kick off at 3pm.

MARINE added two new players to their squad last week and new striker Nathan Brown wasted no time to make an impression, scoring on his debut at South Shields on Tuesday night - although it wasn’t enough to rescue a point for the Mariners who lost 2-1.

Brown joins the Mariners having been released by Chester FC. The striker has also had loan spells this season at Ramsbottom United and Colwyn Bay. He said: “I am delighted to be joining Marine and looking forward to the rest of the season and just playing some games which I haven’t done for a while.”

Also joining Marine is midfielder Dylan Sumner, who signs for the club having just been released by Barnsley FC. Nathan Brown He has previously had spells at Blackpool and a trial at Cardiff City this season.

Summer said: “I am very happy about joining Marine until the end of the season.

“I watched the lads on Saturday and can see it’s a great team and can’t wait to get started playing with them.

It was a cold and windswept evening at South Shields on Tuesday, March 12 but both teams played their part in a decent game on a slick surface.

The title chasing hosts were as slick as their pitch in the first half and were full value for their 2-0 lead, although the Mariners came close to opening the scoring inside the first five minutes when Charley Edge's free kick nearly caught home goalkeeper Liam Connell off his line but he recovered to touch the ball on to the crossbar.

South Shields took advantage and got the opening goal a couple of minutes later, Lee Mason weaving his way into the area before find-

ing the net from the left hand side.

Further chances followed for Shields but they had to wait until the 33rd minute to double their advantage, Robert Briggs' shot taking a big deflection to beat Marine goalkeeper Joe Hilton.

Marine came much more into the game in the second half and were right back in the contest midway through the half, debutant Brown latching on to the ball 25 yards out, his strong right foot effort nestling in the bottom corner of Connell's net to cap an impressive start to his Marine career.

Tempers frayed late on with an altercation near the corner flag, Shields' Ben Harmison and Marine's Will Dunne receiving red cards.

Marine’s scheduled home match against Matlock Town on Saturday was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

The Mariners travel to Gainsborough Trinty on saturday.

Maricourt High battle to national cup semi-final MARICOURT Catholic High School’s football team overcame the odds in Northumberland to earn a place in the semi-finals of the English School Football Association National Cup. Maricourt’s Year 8 squad played Cramlington Learning Village in the National Cup quarter-final.

Circumstances were up against them even before kick off with one player from the squad injured in the warm up and another too ill to play after the three-and-a-half hour journey, leaving them with just one substitute.

Maricourt took the lead after just three minutes, but were up against it after they had a player sent off.

They fell behind in the second half but with just five minutes on the clock, Maricourt’s Roberts beat three players inside the penalty area and scored.

Goalkeeper Gray produced three double saves to keep Maricourt in the game.

Extra time saw no further score then

Maricourt will play last season’s winners, Wright Robinson College from Manchester, at home in the semi finals, to be game to be played by March 22.”
