SMASHING WINDOWS IS JUST NOT CRICKET FOR ANGRY RESIDENTS

INSIDE THIS WEEK...

They demand club install netting to protect homes and cars being damaged by big hitting batsmen

Bricklayers academy launched

Report by Tom Martin

ANGRY residents who live next to Firwood Bootle Cricket Club say their houses and cars are being damaged when batsmen hit sixes out of the ground.

They are demanding the club put up bigger protective nets to stop balls hitting their properties on Wadham Road.

Netting is currently in place around a section of the ground but residents say they are inadequate and offer little protection.

Residents have signed a joint letter of protest and fear someone could be seriously injured unless something is done soon.

Officials at the club have responded to the complaints by telling the Champion they are looking to apply for Cracked glass at the front of house on Wadham Road, next to Firwood Bootle Cricket Club’s ground, inset. funding in order to extend the nets.

Cardinal Nichols visits his former school

Archbishop Nichols with the Lord-Lieutenant of Merseyside Mark Blundell (centre), St Mary’s Principal Mike Kennedy, Head Girl Georgina Duncan and Head Boy Charlie Allen

A SCHOOL in Crosby welcomed back one of its most illustrious former students when Cardinal Vincent Nichols paid a visit to help mark 100 years since it was formed.

Archbishop of Westminster Cardinal Vincent Nichols, the leader of the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales, was the VIP guest of St Mary’s College, who held a service of thanksgiving and celebration dinner at Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral.

His Eminence was a pupil from 1956 to 1963 at the independent school, which was founded in 1919.

Other honoured guests at the event included Mark Blundell, the Lord-Lieutenant of Merseyside and his wife Suzanne.

Installer

The evening began with a Mass in the cathedral celebrated by Archbishop Nichols who in his well-received homily produced a programme from St Mary’s 1958 speech day at which - appropriately - he had been presented with a prize for religious studies.

He also mentioned another more recent former pupil, Liverpool footballer Trent Alexander-Arnold, praising him for the happiness he and his teammates had brought to the city with their achievements on the pitch this season.

Following the Mass, the celebrations moved downstairs to the cathedral’s Lutyens Crypt, where guests enjoyed a threecourse dinner and the opportunity to catch up with friends from the school, past and present. During the dinner Archbishop

Nichols was presented with the first copy of St Mary’s centenary publication - Fidem Vita Fateri (We show our faith by the way we live, love and learn) - a brief history of the school by current Head of History, Niall Rothnie.

The evening ended with an auction and raffle in aid of the St Mary’s Centenary Fund, which is raising money for scholarships, bursaries and new facilities, followed by dancing to the swing and rock and roll sounds of the Retro Revolution Band.

St. Mary’s Principal, Mike Kennedy, said: “This event was an excellent way to celebrate the college’s 100th birthday, and everyone associated with the school was delighted that Archbishop Nichols was able to join us.”

Alleyway fly-tippers ‘Ruthless’ burglar cost you £800k a year is handed four

year sentence

Report by Danielle Thompson AN investigation into fly-tipping in gated alleyways has revealed that the council is being forced to spend more than £800,000 every year on the problem across the borough.

Teams from Sefton Council’s Cleansing unit recently joined officers from Public Protection, along with ward councillors on Riddock Road, Litherland to assess the growing issue.

Evidence from the investigation has now been viewed and action will be taken against those who have been found to have dumped rubbish illegally in the area.

Each year Sefton’s cleansing teams have to remove thousands of tonnes of rubbish from alleyways across the borough, costing the Council more than £800,000 a year to clear up and dispose of.

On average 20 tonnes of fly-tipped rubbish is left in rear alleyways and passageways each week, running up bills of £2,600 in disposal costs alone.

Now council chiefs have issued a stark warning that residents and businesses who continue to fly-tip despite constant warnings are putting their own health at serious risk.

Cllr Paulette Lappin, Sefton Council's cabinet member for regulation and compliance said: “We know that this rubbish is being dumped illegally by residents and businesses in the immediate vicinity but they do not realise how damaging this is to their own health.

“Riddock Road is just one of hundreds of gated alleyways across South Sefton where flytipping is a real issue.

“Not only is it incredibly costly to clean up, it

can cause serious health issues and directly affect both the culprits and those innocent residents who live nearby.

“No matter if its a small bin bag or a huge pile of household waste, it's still fly-tipping and you will be fined heavily for irresponsibly disposing of your rubbish.

“Fly-tipping carries a £400 fixed penalty notice and failure to pay will land you in court.

“We won't hesitate to issue a fine if we catch people doing it.”

If any residents have any concerns regarding flytipping or wish to report an offence, they can contact the council on 0345 140 0845 or report it at sefton.gov.uk.

Suspended jail term given to man who threatened bank staff

A BOOTLE man who threatened staff at a bank after a telephone operator refused to discuss his account because he didn’t know his security pass code, has been given a three month suspended prison sentence.

Steven Hardaker, 38, of Fernhill Road, appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court for sentencing on June 11 after previously pleading guilty to two charges of sending an offensive or menacing message over a public communication network.

The court had heard that Hardaker made two calls to Barclaycard on January 8 and January 9 of this year.

In the first call, he told bank staff: “I am going to end up killing someone. I am f***ing losing the plot. I am going to end up going to the bank and can not control what happens next. Someone in the Bootle branch [of Barclays Bank] at the Strand is going to get hurt.”

On the second occasion, he said: “I will stick my car through the front of your

branch and take a male member of staff hostage.”

Solicitor Mark Ellis had said in mitigation that Hardaker had made numerous calls to try and speak to Barclaycard staff about his account but had been unable to do so as he didn’t know his security code. He was ‘desperate’ to speak to someone, the solicitor said, and eventually, “enough was enough”, and Hardaker made the comments in temper.

“He has shown sincere remorse and is deeply, deeply sorrowful,” the solicitor said.

The magistrates sentenced Hardaker to 12 weeks in prison, suspended for 18 months.

The court recorded the reason being that the offences were so serious and that police had attended the bank on both occasions due to the nature of the threats made.

He was also ordered to undertake 150 hours of unpaid work and pay £200 in costs and victim surcharge.

A ‘RUTHLESS, heartless’ burglar who tricked his way into the home of an elderly Bootle woman has been sentenced to more than four years in prison.

Paul Hassall, 52, of no fixed abode, but from Liscard in Wirral received a sentence of four years and four months at Liverpool Crown Court on Tuesday, July 9.

At 1.50pm on Tuesday, October 9, 2018, Hassall tricked his way into the Bootle home of an 85-year -old woman claiming to be collecting for a running charity. While inside, he took her purse from her walking aid and left the house, leaving her extremely distressed.

Following extensive enquiries, Hassall was identified and charged with burglary and theft.

Speaking after the sentencing, Detective Inspector Andy McCourt said: “Hassall is a ruthless, heartless offender and it is pleasing to see him removed from the streets. To target elderly and vulnerable victims in such a callous way is beyond belief and I would like to thank the victim and her niece for their stoicism and assistance in the face of an absolutely devastating invasion into a safe home.

“We will continue to work hard to investigate and put before the courts those who seek to steal from vulnerable people in our communities, and will take swift and positive action when people provide information.”

In her Victim Personal Statement, the victim said: “I am eighty five years of age and I’d say that I’ve had a good life. When I was younger I had plenty of friends. We would go out dancing together, I loved it. I’ve experienced so much during my life. When I was seven years old I was evacuated, to Shropshire, during the war and I did not return to Liverpool until I was ten years old.

“I was always employed during my working life. I worked in Liverpool, in factories all over Bootle from the age of 15. I worked in the tin factory, the toffee factory and the sausage factory. I really enjoyed my work. I went from job to job and I retired when I was 60 years old.

“I have lived at my flat for 25 years. I live alone and have always done so. It’s really quiet where I live, it’s mainly older people who live here.

“When the man forced his way into my flat I was shocked. He said he was from a running charity. I have always given to charity and I believed him. I was shaking when he opened my purse. I could see the shock on his face when he saw that there was very little in my purse.

“I was so glad when he left. My nerves had gone but I managed to phone the police. I was only expecting one police officer to turn up but quite a few came. I felt safe when the police came out to see me.

“In the days and weeks afterwards, I felt very frightened in my flat. Not long after the burglary, I thought that I saw the man outside my address again. It may not have been him but I was so scared that it was. I don’t want to leave my flat, I'm happy as long as the door is locked and nobody can get in.

I don’t want to move to a care home. I'm happy

Cricket club vows to erect more netting to protect properties From Page 1. front garden (without my permission).

Arlene says she cannot sit in her front garden anymore and that she no longer enjoys living in her

home because of the problem.

She added: “They need to extend the nets because the height and the speed that these balls are hit are terrifying and players hit the ball harder now.”

A spokesperson for Firwood

Bootle Cricket Club said: “We are currently awaiting news on funding so planning permission can be applied for again to extend and expand the netting along the full length of the pitch on the Wadham Road side.

“Originally the nets where a much higher but some neighbours complained and the council ordered us to reduce the height which in turn then rendered the nets pointless in saving the big hit shots.”

Paul Hassall

where I am. Why should I move? This is my flat and I'm too old to move anyway.

“I hope they stick the man in prison for a long time after what he put me through. He told me what to do in my own flat, telling me to move further back. He asked me three times to give him a fiver. If I was younger I would have thrown him down the stairs myself. How dare somebody do that to me. I was frightened that I would have to go to court and I was really frightened that the man would come back and get me. Now that I know that the police have caught the man I feel a bit better.”

There are a number of steps people can take to help prevent this type of crime so take a few minutes and ensure that any elderly or vulnerable relatives, friends or people in your care are given the right advice and guidance, work which the police also carry out in our communities.

They offered the following tips: l Do not open your door if you are unsure who the caller is. l Always make sure you know who visitors are by asking to see their identification. l Never let people into your property if you don't know them l Always keep the key chain on the door whilst talking to callers and always check their ID before letting them into your home. Genuine callers won’t mind you doing this. If callers haven’t got valid identification, don't let them in Bogus callers often pretend to be someone official, for example, from a utility company or the water board. They will also try to distract people by asking for a drink of water or if they can use the toilet. Remember, ‘if in doubt, keep them out.’

Remember to close and lock the back door before you answer the front door. It’s a good idea to have a viewer or spy hole and a stout chain fitted to all the external doors to the property Don’t keep large quantities of cash at home. It’s better in the bank where it's safe If someone asks for your help (for example, if they want to make a telephone call or claim to have lost a ball in your garden) always ask a friend or neighbour, or someone else you trust, for help

FREE online counselling is being offered to young people aged 11-18 across Sefton.

XenZone, a digital mental health pioneer, has been commissioned by Sefton Council, Sefton Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and NHS Southport and Formby CCG to provide free and anonymous mental health and wellbeing support via its flagship Kooth service to young people in the area.

The service will provide young people with access to online counselling, self-help materials and a safe online community of young people 365 days a year.

Kooth, accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), also offers peer-to-peer support, an online magazine, access to moderated forums and goal setting and mood tracking tools from any connected device.

The site is open 24 hours a day; one-to-one counselling sessions with a qualified counsellor are available from 12-noon until 10pm on weekdays, and from 6pm until 10pm on weekends.

The service has been commissioned to increase the number of early intervention services available and in response to young people requesting a digital solution in addition to existing local services.

Kooth is available everyday, in and out of school term time.

Councillor John Joseph Kelly, Sefton Council's cabinet member for children, schools and safeguarding said: “We are delighted that Kooth is now available in Sefton.

“All children and young people should have access to mental health support when they need it.

“Being able to access good advice, guidance and support via mobile phone, tablet or computer is a great way to help make sure that children and young people can develop positive mental wellbeing.”

Kooth in Sefton is an online, free counselling service for children and young people

Fiona Taylor, chief officer at the CCGs in Sefton, added: “We are proud to be involved with Kooth, it will enhance support for young people with mental health issues in Sefton.

“We need services such as this to be easily accessible and available at a time when people need it most and this ticks all the boxes.

“We do think it helps being anonymous as some find it hard to speak face to face, this is ideal for people who are perhaps nervous about reaching out and we really do hope it helps them.”

Elaine Bousfield, XenZone founder, said: “We are delighted that we are now able to provide our support and counselling service to young people in Sefton.

“Digital mental health services like Kooth are beneficial to young people as they are anonymous and free from the stigma some individuals face. We hope through the new commission more young people will seek help for their mental health and wellbeing.”

them in education, gives them positive community activities and supports them when they need us most. A key element of this model is our Pathways project which involves some of the great businesses of our city to inspire young people and offer them work placements and employment for the future.”

Savio Salesian College headteacher Tony Costello added: “The school was extremely proud to have been invited to take part in this extremely important debate about a subject that is very much at the heart of our communities and at the front of young people’s lives and the challenges they face. “Through this partnership with the wider community hopefully this forum will have a strong impact not just today but going forwards.”

Shoplifter caught by plain clothes store detective A WOMAN was caught shoplifting from the Bootle Lidl stores by a store detective in plain clothes.

Rebecca Craig, 39, of Doric Street, Seaforth, pleaded guilty to stealing £47.78 worth of meat from Lidl on May 25, when she appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court.

Chris Maloney, prosecuting, said: “There was a plain clothes store detective at the Lidl store on Stanley Road in Bootle. The defendant was seen to enter the store at a fast pace and go straight to the meat chiller where she selected a number of items and placed them in her jacket.

“She leaves by the entrance doors and makes no attempt to pay. She drops some of

the meat and after she picks it up she is approached by the store detective who tells her to go back in the store.

“She makes full and frank admissions during police interview. She said she was going to sell the items in the pub for money.”

The court heard that Craig had appeared in court on June 11 for another offence of shoplifting when she was given a community order and a drug rehabilitation order.

Her solicitor Tony Murphy said that she is due to go into a rehab unit to get help to address issues with drink and drugs.

The magistrates granted her a six-month conditional discharge but ordered that she pay £105 in costs and victim surcharge.

PLAYING fields in Bootle used by a youth football club have been given a much-needed clean up after they fell into “years of neglect.”

Augustine Park, used by Northfield Junior Football Club (JFC), has been given a new-look by volunteers after club officials complained that if bushes and weeds were not cut back it would be difficult for their youngsters to play football.

Northfield got help from Network Rail, who offered to help clear the fields of vegetation and over the course of a three day period managed to clear away years of built-up weeds and bushes.

Northfield JFC was set-up in 1990 and has more than 18 teams for different ages.

Northfield chairman, Neil Faraday said “We can’t thank Network Rail enough for their kind offer.

“We are a volunteer-run club and don’t have the time or expertise to carry out that kind of work.

“Without their help, God knows how long the bushes, and weeds would have encroached into the playing surface and made it more difficult for us to get the kids playing football.

“From myself, the volunteers and parents, we can’t thank them enough.”

Network Rail, track maintenance engineer, Atif Hamid added: “At Network Rail we believe it’s important to work with the local community wherever possible, so when we were approached

by Northfield Football club we were more than happy to assist.

“Northfield were struggling with vegetation management, preventing them from fully utilising their playing fields, this was the perfect type of project for our highly trained Off Track team. The team of volunteers at Northfield JFC are doing some great work.” editorial@champnews.com

THE parents of a man who was murdered on his 21st Birthday joined 100 youngsters and specialists on a knife crime panel.

Sam Cook, from Crosby, was out celebrating his special day on October 21, 2017 with his family and girlfriend when he was fatally stabbed in the heart at the Empire Bar, in Liverpool. Carl Madigan was later jailed for 28 years for his murder.

His mum Gill Radcliff and dad Alan Cook joined chief constable Andy Cooke on Tuesday, July 9 to discuss the impact knife crime has on victims, their families, young people and communities.

The other members on the panel included Sue Gregory, director of youth engagement and employability at Everton in the Community; chief fire officer Phil Garrigan and Tony Costello, headteacher at Savio Salesian College in Bootle where the forum was held.

The forum was the culmination of the Serious Organised Crime Insight Programme, which involved 15 young people from secondary schools in Sefton.

The programme has been developed as part of an educational initiative jointly funded by Merseyside Police and Everton in the Community (EitC) and is designed to raise awareness of criminal exploitation and how young people can be exploited by those causing misery in some of our poorest communities through violence and criminality.

It was the second Insight Programme to be carried out in Merseyside and involved students from communities where young people are vulnerable to criminal exploitation and it will kick-start a series of early intervention programmes across the county, delivered by EitC, the charitable arm of Everton Football Club.

In the last week the students were sworn in as detectives on the programme. Together with

experienced detectives they investigated a fictional case involving the stabbing of a teenager. As the week progressed the teenagers found themselves immersed into the world of investigation. They learnt how to interview victims, witnesses and suspects and draw the evidence together and eventually found themselves able to charge the offender.

Chief constable Andy Cooke, said: “Knife crime is a real issue across the country and we recognise that we can’t enforce our way out of the problem. Merseyside Police has recently received Home Office funding, which will allow us to carry out more operational activity whilst at the same time co-ordinate a multiagency response to look at a long term solution to tackling the problem and change the behaviour of those who think it’s okay to carry and use knives on the streets and in our communities.

“Just this week we have seen the tragic death of a 21-year-old man in Kirkby, his family are absolutely devastated by his loss and a community is also suffering.

This is completely unacceptable, but we can’t solve the problem alone. We will continue to work with our partners, but more importantly we want to work with our young people to see how we can move forward and reduce knife crime. None of us want to see more young lives taken, or people having to live with life changing injuries. It is vital that we talk and listen to our young people if we are to make a difference in the future and key to that is educating our young people about the consequences of knife crime.”

Sue Gregory, director of youth engagement at Everton in the Community, said: “Serious organised crime has a stronghold on many areas in the community in which we operate and often children unfortunately believe that their only viable career path is into criminality and illegal employment. Our charity’s impact model has an ethos that inspires young people and keeps

A MAN from Litherland has become one of the first people to face charges under a new law designed to protect service animals after a police dog was stabbed in the head in Stoke-onTrent.

Dan O’Sullivan, 29, was arrested by Staffordshire Police following reports that a man was in the town of Hanley armed with a knife at around 2pm on July 1.

Police Dog (PD) Audi and his handler were helping officers with the arrest when the animal suffered a stab wound to the head, which needed medical treatment.

Senior Investigating Officer, DI Stephen Ward said at the time: “We’re pleased that no officers came to serious harm and PD Audi is now recovering from his ordeal.

“His injuries seem to be soft tissue-related and he is likely to be out of action for a short time.”

O’Sullivan, who is from the Litherland area, has been charged with causing unnecessary suffering to a police dog under the Animal Welfare (Service Animals) Act 2019.

This is believed to be one of the first prosecutions since Finn’s Law was introduced, which was passed by the House of Lords in June to give better protection to service dogs and horses.

It was named after Finn, a police dog who was stabbed while pursuing a suspect with his handler PC David Wardell.

Finn almost died after receiving serious stab wounds to the chest and head – but only criminal damage charges could be brought against his attacker.

Convicted drug dealer breaches his suspended prison sentence A BOOTLE man has been caught drug driving while on a crown court suspended prison sentence for dealing in drugs.

Lewis Horsford, 21, of Swifts Lane, pleaded guilty to driving with 2.7 micrograms of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) per litre of blood, when he appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court on June 19.

The legal limit is 2mcg/l. THC is the main active ingredient in cannabis.

Prosecutor Chris Maloney told the court that Horsford was stopped by police on Beach Road, Litherland, because a rear light on his car wasn't working and also due to concerns about the way he was driving.

The officers noted that he had bloodshot eyes and

he was taken to Wirral Police Station for blood tests after failing a roadside test for drugs.

The court heard that Horsford had one conviction on his record for possession of cannabis with intent to supply for which he was sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court to 250 hours of unpaid work and six months in jail, suspended for 18 months. Horsford had committed the drug driving offence during the period of the suspended sentence, Mr Maloney said.

The magistrates told Horsford to appear at Liverpool Crown Court on July 17 when a crown court judge will sentence him for drug driving and consider whether to activate the suspended prison sentence.

Children awarded for drawing competition

Metro mayor Steve Rotheram presenting the awards to children

Report by Tom Martin CREATIVE children from a Netherton school have been awarded in a drawing competition by Liverpool metro mayor Steve Rotheram.

Youngsters from St Benedict’s Primary School were presented with awards after they entered a drawing competition with a theme of the environment.

Six-year-old Lauren Williams scooped first prize with her drawing of a meandering river with five fish swimming down-stream, in clear waters.

Lauren’s family won tickets for the Blue Planet Aquarium while the runner-up Hope Jones won family passes to Knowsley Safari Park.

Emma Carrington, St Benedict’s primary school teacher, said: “St Benedict’s School has been delighted to take part in this competition to highlight Liverpool City Region’s Year of the Environment. The children enjoyed learning all about the different animals and plants in Sefton and now have a greater appreciation for what a beautiful place we live in.”

Attending the competition presentation, Metro Mayor of the Liverpool City Region, Steve Rotheram, added: “The Year of the Environment is all about raising awareness of the challenges facing our planet so it is great to see our local primary schools getting involved.

“It is clear from the quality of their pictures that these children were really engaged in thinking about the world around them and the importance of looking after our environment. I’m sure they could teach the grown-ups a thing or two!”

Councillor Carla Thomas, who is a governor at St Benedict’s and a deputy portfolio holder at Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, added: “By inviting the children of St Benedict’s Primary School to participate in a creative competition to commemorate the Liverpool City Region’s Year of the Environment. It was my aim to start to inspire the children in Netherton to become active and

The winning drawing from Lauren Williams

engage with an environmentally focussed project that shows you are never too young or too small to make a difference!

“By participating with an innovative activity it has encouraged young people to become responsible global activists, developing their understanding, empathy and a sense of responsibility. We can empower our young generation to protect their environment and motivate tomorrow’s leaders to help make our world a better and greener place.

“The children at St Benedict’s Primary School are delighted that the Metro Mayor of the Liverpool City Region has attended their awards ceremony to recognise their efforts and work highlighting the environmental issues that matter to them.

“St Oswald ward can be proud of the children who are paving the way to inspire other youngsters to follow them by illustrating the fantastic landscapes we have in Sefton with an abundance of protective designations, such as the Red Squirrel Reserve in Formby, the Sefton Coastal Dune System and the special wildlife habitats, along the coast.

“What’s more, I am profoundly grateful to the Blue Planet Aquarium in Ellesmere Port and to Knowsley Safari Park for their very kind donations.”

Social enterprise creators invited to fact-finding trip ANYONE planning to set up a new social enterprise are being invited on free fact-finding trips to learn more about the best way to go about it from their European counterparts.

Bootle-based Regenerus, a partner in the European-funded Unravel Tomorrow project, is looking for six local people to meet successful social entrepreneurs on visits to Porto in Portugal in September and Copenhagen in Denmark in December.

Social enterprises are businesses that result in benefits for the community or society as a whole, rather than simply generating profits for owners or shareholders.

Unravel Tomorrow has been set up to encourage social enterprise and social innovation, with the aim of finding new ways of working that are more effective and sustainable, and so more likely to create a more inclusive society.

As well as Regenerus the project - which is funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union - involves partners in Portugal,

Denmark, Italy, Germany and Latvia.

Regenerus has recently hosted a visit by aspiring social entrepreneurs from the five partner countries, showcasing some of the best of the existing social economy across Liverpool City Region.

Now the organisation is seeking people to take part in the return visits later in the year, when all travel costs will be covered by the project.

Ruth Livesey of Regenerus said: “These trips are great opportunities for would-be social entrepreneurs to learn how existing social enterprises in Europe have become successful.

“The aim is to equip participants with the knowledge and skills they need to make a success of their own business ideas. By encouraging social enterprise, the visits are also contributing to the success of Unravel Tomorrow as a whole, by promoting new ways of working that can achieve positive social change and shape a better future.”

Memory cafe needs more locals A BOOTLE charity that offers a monthly ‘memory cafe’ for people living with dementia wants to encourage more locals to attend.

The Orrell Trust, based in St John and St James Church and Community Centre, on Bailey Drive, launched a new initiative called ‘Down Orrell Hey’ in January.

The memory cafe supports people living with dementia or memory loss, their carers and family.

You do not need a formal dia-

gnosis to attend and it gives people a chance to meet others and find out more information about dementia.

Participants enjoy a hot drink and toasted crumpets or teacakes while socialising, playing games and puzzles in an informal friendly atmosphere.

The group currently meet once a month on the last Friday from 10am till 12pm, but over the summer holidays it will be put on more regularly.

Bricklayer Academy set up at Hugh Baird College Report by Tom Martin A BRICKWORK Academy has been set up in Bootle to help ‘fast-track’ the next generation of bricklayers.

The Construction Industry Training Board has (CITB) chosen Hugh Baird College to launch a new Brickwork Academy to improve the chances of Brickwork students in gaining employment at the end of their course and help fill a “skills gap” in the Liverpool City Region.

The CITB has identified that nearly six in ten (59%) of those who unsuccessfully applied for construction jobs since finishing their course said it was because they lacked the work experience that employers required.

Vicky Edwards, Hugh Baird College assistant principal - Technical Skills, said: “We are delighted to have been selected by the CITB to pilot the new Brickwork Academy initiative.

“This development compliments our commitment to address the skill gaps in the Liverpool City Region’s workforce and our strategic vision to ensure our students progress to successful careers upon completing their studies at Hugh Baird College.”

A group of Hugh Baird College students have been chosen to take part in the academy in partnership with local employers and are completing an additional seven weeks of practical skills training.

They will undertake their work experience and additional pre-site training together at the Knowledge Quad, construction company Morgan Sindall’s multi-

Two men on scrambler bike shot at house THE front window of a home was shot at in Bootle by men on a scrambler bike.

Merseyside Police are currently investigating a damage only firearms discharge on Bedford Road shortly after 8.20pm on July 6.

Witnesses reported seeing two men on a scrambler bike making off towards the city centre on County Road.

A spokesperson for the police

said: “We are keen to track these people down as we believe they could assist with ongoing investigations.

“Officers have carried out house to house enquiries and are currently looking at CCTV but also encourage anyone that witnessed the incident, or has information including passing vehicles with dash cam footage to DM @MerPolCC or call 101 quoting log 1007.”

purpose learning space located on site at the city’s landmark Paddington Village site.

Following this, the group will undertake their 24-week placements with three projects the company is delivering for Liverpool John Moores University and Merseyside Police.

In addition to developing their practical trowel skills, the extra training will support the students to be prepared for a career in the construction industry, covering topics such as employability skills and self-employment.

Barry Roberts, Morgan Sindall Construction’s managing director for the North West, said: “In order to successfully tackle the skills gap and develop the workforce our industry needs to thrive in the decades

to come, innovative approaches to education and learning are needed.

“Brickwork Academy represents just that, and also mirrors the work we’ve undertaken in recent years in focusing on the importance of enabling new entrants into the industry to gain onsite experience early in their training.”

Steve Radley, CITB Strategy and Policy director, said: “We’re really encouraged by the enthusiasm shown by the colleges and employers involved in the Brickwork Academy.

“We hope that its results will make the case for expanding the Academy approach with more employers and into other trades, to join together with other CITB initiatives to help more learners become site-ready for employment.”

Alex Greenwood in action during the Women’s World Cup.

Report by Tom Martin ENGLAND international footballer Alex Greenwood has been praised for helping to “inspire a generation” after helping take England to the semi-final of the Women’s World Cup. The 25-year-old defender was part of manager Phil Neville's squad and played a key role in helping the Lionesses reach the semi-final of the tournament, where they were beaten 2-1 by USA. Greenwood posted on Twitter: “Devastated. We gave it everything and we will again.

“Thank you everyone for your support. Always proud to be a Lioness.”

The Manchester United Ladies captain played a crucial role in helping England reach the final four after she scored the decisive goal in a 3-0 win over Cameroon in the last 16 round.

Alex and her teammates’ impressed performances have been credited with inspiring more people in England to watch women’s football.

A peak audience of 11.7million people watched

Alex and her fellow Lionesses hailed for ‘inspiring a generation’ England face USA on television, making it the mostwatched broadcast of the year.

Large audiences have tuned in for the Women’s World Cup matches, which have all been shown by the BBC. Greenwood, a former pupil of Savio High School, played for Everton and Liverpool before moving to Manchester United, where she is now captain.

Sefton Council have also paid tribute to Greenwood and the impact she has had on young girls playing football in the borough.

Greenwood has previously represented the council’s Sefton Sports Awards, and organisers say she has helped “inspire and motivate the next generation of women footballers.”

Cllr Ian Moncur, Sefton Council’s Cabinet Member for Health and Wellbeing, said: “Alex’s success comes as no surprise to us all at Sefton. Many will recognise her from training at our Litherland Sports Park, while others will vividly remember her motivational speech at the 2016 Sefton Sports Awards.

Tax credits must be renewed by end of month

Memories of the Great Goozey War - and not a weapon in sight I’M going to tell you a story - or at least my alter ego, The Great Goozegog is . . .

‘Hi! I was the (self-appointed) Great Goozegog, leader of the Goozey Tribe, back in the early 1950s. The name stems from my love of the gooseberry.

My deputy, The Great Gooze, was my brother George, and what would probably now be head of security was The Great Gog, my best friend Peter Smith. One problem was always a lack of population. The only other member of the tribe was Peter ’s younger brother Geoffrey - and he was only part-time at best.

Still, we did our best. Our industrial pursuits ran to the Great Goozey pottery (we used locally sourced clay from the banks of the Whinney Brook) fired in a kiln built of an upturned metal bucket with its bottom banged out and a metal door foot-scraper.

And then there was agriculture and trading (bunches of fresh mint which we sold door-todoor) and sport. Our sports ranged from cricket played in the middle of our road (don’t try that these days) to frog racing (don’t ask) and the vaguely associated Taddery which unhappily came to a rather sticky end. Oh, and we designed our own red-and-green football strip too.

Anyway, I know Jim has already mentioned at least some of these activities before but the event I wish to recall is the one and only time that the Goozey Tribe went to war.

We had encountered a rival gang (the ‘Black Hand Gang’ or something like that) and, as you did, decided that we should have a battle. So it was arranged that we should meet for combat the following Saturday on what was then a piece of waste land (it’s covered in housing now of course, which will hamper future archaeological investigation of the site I’m afraid).

A start time of 11am had been agreed, so we Goozeys sensibly turned up about an hour earlier to scout out the land. Using bits of scrap metal and wood we constructed our fortress and settled in to await developments.

Unhappily, when the Black Handers (or whoever) turned up they not only outnumbered our troops but were also older. They obviously had the idea of squashing our rather rudimentary fortifications, with us still inside.

So after a rather hurried council of war we decided on an orderly tactical retreat, by making a gap in the rear ‘wall’ and making a run for it, accompanied by shouts of derision from our thwarted opponents who celebrated a rather pyrrhic victory.

I reckon we were more like the German fleet at the Battle of Jutland. We escaped largely unharmed ready to fight another day - but like the Germans never actually got round to it.

Anyway, that was the Goozey Tribe’s first and only battle. In general, we were a peaceful little nation, happy to be grubbing in the dirt and making things, though our efforts at an underground HQ in our back garden fell through (literally) when my dad put his foot through the roof and fell in. Not his, or our, finest hour I’m afraid.’

Well, there you are, reminiscences of the Great Goozey War from the Great Goozegog himself.

He’s getting on a bit now and rather grumpy, but a fine old gentleman even so But the major point to be made about this conflict is that nobody even thought of carrying a knife or air gun or anything else. It was just part of the general, rather mucky fun we had in those days.

Unfortunately I can’t see youngsters of today ever resurrecting anything like the Goozey Tribe.

Our fun didn’t go beep and required no assistance from ‘electricery ’.

Oh, and by the way, no frogs were actually harmed in the frog racing and were all returned to the stream from which they came!

Sign up for free tennis WITH the nation gripped

by Wimbledon, national sports charity ‘Tennis For Free’ has served up an ace for Aintree Village by investing in a programme of free tennis sessions at the Harrow Drive tennis courts, Aintree Village Playing Fields, L10 8LD, starting on Sunday, July 14 from 11am-12.30pm.

In an exciting partnership with Aintree Village Parish Council and the

LTA, Tennis For Free will provide free coach-led tennis sessions for all the family for one year as part of its aim to use tennis to improve the physical and mental wellbeing of all members of the community across the UK. Harrow Drive is one of several similar schemes in the North West and will be open every Sunday between 11am-12.30pm.

Residents are welcome,

you don’t need a racquet or a ball as all equipment is provided free of charge.

Sign up for Tennis For Free Harrow Drive now at www.tennisforfree.com Councillor Mike Carter, chair of Aintree Village Parish Council, said: “Whether you've never picked up a racquet or are a seasoned regular there's no excuse not to visit the Tennis for free sessions.”

The first landing on Aintree’s £1m helipad.

More than 200 patients used hospital’s helipad Report by Henry James MORE than 200 critically injured people from across Cheshire and Merseyside have benefitted from a Liverpool hospital’s helipad since it opened two years ago.

The £1m helipad at Aintree University Hospital, which became operational in July 2017, means paramedics from the North West Air Ambulance are able to transfer patients to the hospital’s Urgent Care and Trauma Centre within minutes.

Previously, air ambulances had to land on the playing fields on Lower Lane, after which a road ambulance was sent to transfer patients to the hospital. This process could add up to half an hour to the journey at a time when every second counts.

Aintree, together with neuro specialists at the Walton Centre, is home to the regional major trauma centre which sees patients sometimes bypass their local hospital to be brought directly to

Liverpool for urgent specialist care which isn’t necessarily available in their local hospital.

Simon Scott, clinical director for Major Trauma at Aintree, said: “The trauma centre treats patients who are seriously injured and, in those circumstances, every second counts. Being able to minimise the transfer time has made a huge difference to our patients and has help us save more lives.”

The helipad was funded by the HELP Appeal, which has been providing significant grants to fund life-saving helipads since 2009.

Steve Warburton, chief executive at Aintree, said: “Our major trauma team does an outstanding job treating and caring for some of the most seriously injured people in our region. The helipad has dramatically improved the speed with which patients are able to access care, which means we are able to assess and treat patients sooner, giving them the best chance of recovery. I’d like to again thank the HELP Appeal for funding the helipad, on behalf of all those who have benefited from it.”

All my effort tending flower plot by canal has been wasted

Council should provide more It’s a joy to visit of its land for car park spaces beautiful park

I have been planting and caring a 20 metre triangular plot alongside road bridge over the canal in Melling for a few years now with some success.

This year I grew hundreds of plants at home and planted out on the canal.

I strim them so the canal workmen won’t mow them down.

All seemed to be going well with people enjoying our not so little flowering plot.

Then recently every plant that was in bloom was removed and stolen.

All that effort my own time and money given for free to make pretty the place where I used to walk with my mum has been stolen by someone.

You could not print what I think of whoever did this.

I totally understand the issues for residents around parking in the vicinity of Worcester Road and Hawthorne Road in Bootle.

I would just like to make the point that many people from local offices do not park there by choice or to save paying.

I work out of St Hugh’s offices on Stanley Road/ Trinity Road as do an increasing number of people.

Our work sometimes necessitates going to St Hugh’s more than once a day and by nature of our work we have to be mobile.

St Hugh’s has allocated parking dependant on the size of the floor space you are renting.

We have more than 20 staff working out of there and only have three spaces.

The car park between St Hugh’s and The Merton pub regularly gets filled up early morning. There is also a small pay and display car park at The Merton.

Other than that there are a small number of onstreet pay and display spaces around Trinity Road

Ian Oikle, Melling

and that's it apart from a couple of half hour free spaces on Stanley Road.

The Strand is a fair distance away and awkward to use a number of times a day while carrying any work related equipment backwards and forwards.

As this area appears to be getting busier, Sefton Council should address the problem and utilising space in the area even as pay and display car parks.

The council offices in the area seem to have a lot of empty spaces that could be utilised, increase revenue and ease the problem for local residents.

I sympathise with residents please but many of us don't choose to park in your area out of choice or to save money but out of necessity.

I try everywhere else before the odd occasion when I have had to resort to parking in front of somebody ’s house.

PICTURE of the week

My wife and I love to visit Derby Park in Bootle.

We have lived in Maghull for more than 50 years but we always enjoy visiting the park in the summer months.

As children we spent most of our summer holidays playing in the park.

My wife lived in Worcester Road and myself around the corner in Park Street.

I can still remember people dancing around the bandstand while a small band was playing music. That was around the late 1940s.

We do think that Sefton Council should be thanked for keeping the park so beautiful.

But even though we enjoy the park we feel sorry for the residents of Worcester Road who can’t enjoy looking over to the park because of cars parked on the wide pavement.

Shame on those who refused to help elderly lady I was leaving the car park at the back of the Costa Coffee cafe in Maghull Square recently, when I saw three eldery ladies, and one of them stumbled and fell onto the bonnet of a car.

I stopped my car, (not in a parking bay) as it was an emergency.

Anyway, as the first lady stumbled and so did her friend but I managed to stop them both from falling to the floor.

The third lady with them was the driver and she was saying how it was one of the lady’s 97th birthday.

I called for help from a young man in a black work van who came over to help straight away and we managed to get them all in the car to safety.

The reason for my email is to say how disgusted I was, as several people over the age of 50, 60 and 70 where giving me dirty looks and shaking their heads at me because of where I had abandoned my car.

Not one of them came to help either.

When all I was doing was helping three frail older ladies.

Shame on them.

I hope the lady had a good birthday and thank you to the gentleman who helped me.

Four generations of our family thoroughly enjoyed the festival

People can put up with a bit of noise for one weekend a year

In response to the letter complaining about the recent Waterloo Festival.

The letter writer stated it was “Ill advised, damaging the environment, invasion, loud, brazen, death knell, blasted and battered.”

I had not realised that the D Day landings had been reenacted at this year’s festival.

I was there with a large group that included four generations of my family, aged from 10 months old to 88 years and four of whom were people with special needs, so I suppose that qualifies us as ‘some sector’ of the local community.

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and it was lovely to see this green amenity being so

Despite the weather, this year’s Waterloo Festival seems to have been a great success again and I congratulate the organisers.

Yes, there have been some tyre tracks in the mud and some grass was destroyed, nothing that cannot be put right again.

But what is a bit of muddy grassland compared to a weekend of fun for thousands.

If that many visitors attend the festival, there is clearly a need for community events like this.

And it offers a great opportunity for local musicians to perform on a big stage.

The music was never on very late at night and even during the day it wasn’t bad.

I happened to visit a friend in Adelaide Terrace

well used by a large group of local people and visitors, resulting in some weather related, easily repaired tyre marks in the grass.

Your correspondent has the opportunity to enjoy the peaceful, often deserted, riverfront for 51 weekends a year.

However, it seems the complainer chose to go away this particular weekend.

I hope they had as nice a time as we did, I am only sorry that they appear to begrudge us our pleasure.

John Brownhill, Waterloo

that Saturday, and it was considerably louder there than at our house a little further away from the event.

But as soon as the front door and the porch door were closed behind us, we didn’t hear a thing anymore.

So I cannot really understand all the protest about noise.

We are talking about one weekend a year here.

The festival is on public land and we, as residents did not buy the right to permanent peace and quiet around our property.

Planning Ahead Nobody likes to think about their own mortality and this is often cited as the main reason why most people do not put in place a Will.

The reality is though, that if you do put a Will in place, then on your death your estate may end up in the hands of people who you would never dream of benefitting and, although rare, in the hands of the Crown.

Putting in place a Will can also assist with Inheritance Tax planning and while the rules relating to Inheritance Tax have changed favourably in the last few years, with the introduction of the Residential Nil Rate Band for qualifying estates, the reality is that the Inheritance Tax allowance has remained frozen at £325,000 since 6th April 2009, over 10 years. Over that period inflation has increased by more than 36%. For the previous financial year, HMRC collected £5.4 billion in Inheritance Tax receipts with this expected to increase in future years as property prices rise.

should always be sought. It is all too common, with so much information available online, for people to try and do their own Will and Lasting Power of Attorney only for mistakes to be made which can lead to family disputes and financial consequences.

Therefore, if you want to have any say on where your estate ends up, want to make sure that as much of your estate as possible ends up with your family and want to have some say over who looks after your finances and welfare if you can’t, then you should put in place a Will and Lasting Power of Attorney, prepared by a qualified and regulated solicitor.

We have been established over 200 years and have the experience and knowledge to guide you through the process. We offer home visits and free storage for legal documents. If you would like further information please contact our offices or visit our website.

There are also steps you can take in a Will to help protect your estate from potential future care costs. By using trusts, assets can be protected for future beneficiaries. The average costs of a year in a care home can easily reach well over £50,000.

For further information please contact Michael Prendergast, Leanne Reeman or Carole Connell

When thinking about a Will, you should also put in place a Lasting Power of Attorney to enable people you have nominated to look after your finances and welfare if you cannot do so yourself. This covers if you were to develop Alzheimer’s or dementia in future, as well as other circumstances. If you do not have a Lasting Power of Attorney in place beforehand, you cannot put one in place once you have lost the capacity to do so and this can cause a lot of problems for you and your family.

AN innovative form of supported living for adults was celebrated in a recent event at Hightown Cricket Club.

More than 80 people attended the event organised by staff from the Shared Lives service, which is run by adult social care provider, New Directions.

Shared Lives gives people the opportunity to benefit from a safe, friendly and supportive environment by living as part of a carer’s family, rather than in residential care.

Games, music, karaoke, food and fun were on the menu at the Hightown get-together which was attended by carers and people who use the service from across the borough.

The event was organised to tie in with Shared Lives Week, the annual national celebration of

shared living arrangements. The theme of this year ’s celebration was how Shared Lives promotes the human rights of the people involved, and enables them to pursue the things they have always wanted to do.

Shared Lives Registered Manager, Karen Bennett, said: “This event enabled us to look back at another year of success for the service in terms of providing homely environments, and positive lifestyle opportunities, for the people who are involved with it.”

Karen added that one of the key elements in this success is the flexibility of the service.

Shared Lives can be a permanent arrangement, or organised on a respite basis, but in each case the emphasis is on helping individuals to form new relationships, broaden their experiences and become more independent.

Similarly, carers can be families, couples or individuals of any age, while people who benefit from the service range from young adults to those in middle age and beyond.

Survey shows 90% of Merseyrail passengers satisfied with service Report by Tom Martin

MERSEYRAIL say they have some of the most satisfied passengers in the UK after they scored highly in a national survey.

The rail operator gained the third highest score in the National Rail Passenger Survey for spring 2019, reaching 90%, which is 7% higher than the national and regional averages.

Merseyrail also came second for punctuality and reliability with a 90% satisfaction score, much higher than the average of 77%.

Metro mayors ‘should be granted more powers over housing, schools and jobs’ STEVE Rotheram has backed a new report calling for metro mayors to be given greater powers over housing, schools and jobs.

Liverpool's metro mayor was at the launch of a report called Empowering English Cities, put together by former Deputy Prime Minister Lord Heseltine, which includes a number of recommendations for the government to boost devolution.

Some of these ideas include the government transferring day-to-day responsibility for affordable housing, school performance, skills and employment programmes to combined authorities.

Another is for mayoral combined authorities to have greater powers to raise local taxes – including receiving the local road tax, airport passenger duty and tourism taxes.

It was also recommended that capital funding for transport, skills and housing to be devolved from government departments, and a new government department created for the English Regions led by a Cabinet minister and a metro mayors committee chaired by the Prime Minister.

Steve Rotheram, who became Liverpool's first ever metro mayor in 2017, said: “Devolution gives us the opportunity to fix a political system that is no longer fit for purpose.

Devolving real power and funding to the city regions, and enabling decisions to be made at a more local level, can start to rebalance the economy and restore trust in the political process.

“While Westminster has been log-

Metro mayor Steve Rotheram

jammed dealing with Brexit, we have been proving that we can get things done. The whole point of devolution is that at a local level we are able to make decisions about our future better than Whitehall mandarins who know nothing of our specific, local circumstances.

“But the government has gone cold on further devolution, so whoever becomes Prime Minister needs to commit to devolving further powers and resource so that areas can shape their own destinies.

“As this report concludes, we must have real devolution, with further powers and funding devolved to city regions like ours.

“Only then will we see the inequality and injustice that has grown up over generations reduce and see our country fulfil its true potential.”

INSTANT DECISION

A SCHOOL dinner lady who was caught topless with a married man in a cricket club car park, where they were believed to be having sex, told police she had been getting changed after a drink was split on her.

Carol McCann, 61, of Caithness Drive, Crosby, and David Baker, 61, of Catterick Fold, Southport, both pleaded guilty to outraging public decency by having sexual intercourse in view of members of the public.

Sefton Magistrates Court heard on July 3 that a woman and her 11-year-old daughter had arrived at the overflow car park at Northern Club, Crosby, at 2.30pm on Frida,y April 12 to pick up her other child and nephew who were taking part in an event.

Sarah Egan, prosecuting, said they saw a silver car in which there was a man in the front seat moving backwards and forwards.

The witness assumed there were people engaged in sexual intercourse, Miss Egan said, and the daughter commented: “Are they doing what I think they are doing?”

Mrs Egan said another woman arrived in the car park and that both adults went over to the car, which belonged to McCann, and shouted, “What do you think you are doing?”

The court was told that Baker pulled up his

trousers but McCann, who was said to be naked, made no effort to cover herself or get dressed.

McCann and Baker were subsequently interviewed by police and denied having had sexual intercourse. Both defendants claimed Baker had spilled a coke drink on her and they had gone to the car park to allow her to get changed.

Defence solicitor Nick Archer said his client was “mortified” but that the pair were not having sex “though it had appeared that way.”

It was heard McCann is a school dinner lady and cleaner, and that she and Baker had been childhood sweethearts.

They had been seeing each other two or three times a week for seven months after meeting up again at Goodison Park.

McCann found out early on that he was a married man, said a probation worker.

The magistrates sentenced each of the pair to 100 hours of unpaid work, and made them each pay £170 in costs.

The MCA girls team with their winning plates from the Zoe Tynan contest and (above right) Zoe Tynan (in blue) playing for Everton during her time at the club’s Centre of Excellence

Girls’ football team triumph at contest in honour of Zoe Report by Kenny Parker MAGHULL’S MCA girls football team returned victors from the recent Zoe Tynan tournament in Liverpool.

The one day event was formed in memory of Women’s Premiership player Zoe Tynan from Liverpool, who sadly passed away at age 18 in 2016. The competition attracted teams from across

the North West as well as the Isle of Man. After progressing through the knockout stages the MCA girls won the victors plate which was presented by former England women’s footballer and sports media commentator Sue Smith.

Jonathan Hunter from the club said the girls, who go to a number of high schools in the local area, including Maricourt and St Mary’s College, Crosby, have been praised for being a hard working, honest and fair playing team.

He said: “Since becoming the MCA, the girls have gone on to become an excellent team of young ladies, with determination and dedication to their team.

They play every Saturday during the season and train on a Wednesday evening. Next season the girls change from seven-a-side to nine-a-side and are looking for new players, so if you are in year 7 or 8 this September and want to join this successful local team email footydad1314@gmail.com.

THE FEEL-GOOD musical Mamma Mia! will return to the Liverpool Empire for a two-week run from April 28 – May 9, 2020 as part of a UK & International Tour celebrating 20 years since Mamma Mia! premiered in London in April 1999.

From West End to global phenomenon, Mamma Mia! is Judy Craymer’s ingenious vision of staging the story-telling magic of ABBA’s timeless songs with a sunny, funny tale of a mother, a daughter and three possible dads unfolding on a Greek island idyll.

To date, it has been seen by more than 65 million people in 50 productions in 16 different languages.

In 2011 it became the first Western musical ever to be staged in Mandarin in the People’s Republic of China.

Mamma Mia! became the 8th longest running show in Broadway history where it played a recordbreaking run for 14 years.

It continues to thrill audiences in London’s West End at the Novello Theatre where it recently celebrated its 20th Anniversary on April 6 2019.

Produced by Judy Craymer, Mamma Mia! The Movie became the highest grossing live action musical film of all time upon its release in 2008.

A second film, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, opened in July 2018 and is the most successful live musical movie sequel of all time.

Judy Craymer, creator and producer of Mamma Mia!, said: “We are thrilled to announce that Mamma Mia! will be returning to Liverpool.

The production is designed by Mark Thompson, with lighting design by Howard Harrison, sound design by Andrew Bruce and Bobby Aitken, and musical supervision, additional material and arrangements by Martin Koch.

The Mamma Mia! UK & International Tour is produced by Judy Craymer, Richard East and Björn Ulvaeus for Littlestar in association with Universal and NGM.

Barry to put rock back into ‘The Big O’ FOLLOWINGhis West End debut at The Adelphi Theatre and winning The National Tribute Awards Best Theatre tour Award, the one and only Barry Steele is set to put the rock back into ‘The Big O’ as he takes to the stage to commemorate this legend in The Roy Orbison Story.

The concert will be at the Southport Theatre on Saturday, August 3 at 7.30pm.

This is a chance to get ready for an upbeat night of solid gold hits and contemporary genius as Barry Steele and a fabulous cast of musicians and singers, celebrate and commemorates the musical legacy of Roy Orbison and many of his friends from the late 60s to the late 80s when The Big O was on the cusp of a phenomenal return to super stardom.

Barry is joined on stage a five-piece band and guest pianist Boogie Williams as the production present original material written but never sung by Roy Orbison and showcase elements of the symphonic orchestration first heard on the recently released Albums.

MOTORS

Combining crossovers and coupes is a bit like asking Stormzy to present the next series of Planet Earth, right?

CROSSOVERS are chunky, supermarket-friendly beasts of burden. Coupes are sinewy, slippery conversation-starters that put looks above all else, and to hell with the practicality. So combining the two is about as sensible as getting Stormzy to present the next series of Planet Earth, right?

Erm, wrong, if the number of just such cars – Coupe Utility Vehicles, or CUVs, if you like your cars summed up by an irritating set of initials – on the way is anything to go by.

They ’re jacked-up hatchbacks with off-roader proportions, in the vein of Nissan’s Qashqai, so they should be perfect for stuffing full of mates and suitcases for a long weekend away, but then they’ve been treated to swooping rooflines that rob rear headroom and steal valuable bootspace. That’d be fine if they looked the part as a result – and I know style’s an entirely subjective thing – but I’m not sure at least two of the latest arrivals do.

The person who did the front end of BMW’s second-generation X6 has done a superb job of matching a nicely aggressive ‘double kidney’ radi-

ator grille with some neatly-shaped headlights – but then his sketches appear to have been blown up to 300% on a photocopier and hastily attached to an entirely different car.

But that’s a £53,000 flight of luxury, whereas the key battleground here and rather smaller CUVs costing well under half that.

Ford’s Puma is rather better but I can’t help unseeing the mental image the delightfully mischievous Sniff Petrol website has stuck in my head – it’s a good-looking CUV that, judging by its facial expression, has just walked in on its parents when it shouldn’t have.

If it were my money I’d go for a crossover that nails handsome proportions and neat detailing without passing itself off as a small coupe – take a bow, Skoda Kamiq – but if you reckon a rapper really can do BBC wildlife documentaries then I’m going to have to point you in Kia’s direction.

There’s a reason why the new XCeed, which essentially the C’eed hatchback on stilts, looks far better than I’d been expecting.

It’s styled by the same man who worked on the original Audi TT, and the same eye for detail that made that such a hit seems to have worked its way onto this new arrival too.

I even like the little flourishes of body-coloured trim on the inside too, which definitely have a hint of Fiat Coupe about them.

It’s sensibly priced, too, starting at £20,795 when it goes on sale here in September.

So if you insist on an off-roader-inspired car that willingly chucks some of its practicality in the bin

Kia will offer the XCeed with a choice of three engines when it goes on sale here in the UK in September

in favour of a rakish roofline, I’d make it this one because it actually delivers on the looks front at sensible money.

Although I’d still buy a Kamiq and a secondhand Ford Puma – the two-door coupe from the Nineties,

that is – instead. Sorry if I’m being boring, but I’d rather Stormzy stuck to rapping…

David Simister is the editor of Classic Car Weekly

Inspired by the 1950s FIAT has taken inspiration from the fifties for its latest special-edition 500 (shown, right).

The new Dolcevita is available either as a hatchback with a glass roof, or as a convertible, with the blue and white stripe’s of the latter’s roof fabric inspired, according to the car’s maker, by deckchairs. It’ll be offered from the end of July with the 500’s 69bhp 1.2-litre petrol engine, with prices starting at £17,995 for the hatchback, or £20,995 for the convertible.

Renault is aiming the Megane RS Trophy R (above) at hot hatch fans

French firm shaves weight off Megane to create much more driving focussed model RENAULT has shaved more than 130kg off the weight of its Megane RS Trophy to create a new, more driving-focused model.

The RS-Trophy R, of which just 30 are coming to the UK, has the same turbocharged 300bhp engine and six-speed gearbox as the standard car but it’s been treated to redesigned front suspension, lighter front seats and a different exhaust system, and it has the option of ceramic brakes.

There’s no word on prices yet, but expect it to be more than the standard RS Trophy’s £33,510 when orders open next month across the UK.

Bootle stay top of table Northern bowlers fail to contain New after clinching narrow 11-run win over Lytham Brighton’s Clarke FIRWOOD Bootle remain top of the Premier League by 38 points after a very competitive eleven run triumph over bottom of the table Lytham at Wadham Road last Saturday.

Their score 224 for 7 declared from 52 overs was underpinned by Sam Kershaw’s high quality 83 from 117 deliveries.

Vishal Tripathi, 39, and Danny Davies, 28, gave Sam very valuable support in third and fourth wicket liaisons of 68 and 67 respectively.

In response Bootle reduced Lytham to 79 for 6. However Ben Saunders, 53 ,who was removed by a brilliant catch at mid off by Will Purser off the bowling of Jhangir Liaqat, and Alex Mason, 72, saw the visitors well placed on 186 for 8 after adding 86 for the eighth wicket.

Will Purser, 3 for 24, completed Lytham’s demise with 6.1 overs remaining castling Alex Mason and trapping Jack Saunders lbw with excellent bowling under pressure with visitors edging ever closer towards the winning post.

Scott Butterworth, 3 for 53, and Jhangir

Liaqat, 3 for 64, also shone with the ball.

Sunday saw the National T/20 area final at Ormskirk where Bootle overcome Southport and Birkdale by nine wickets in the semi-final before bowing out to Ormskirk in the final later in the day.

Will Purser, Scott Butterworth, Vishal Tripathi and Tom Meskell all captured two wickets helping remove Southport and Birkdale for 113 after 17.3 overs.

Will Hale, 55 not out, and Danny Davies, on unbeaten on 38, then helped Bootle to a comfortable nine wicket victory after 12.5 overs in an unbroken second wicket partnership of 64.

In the final Ormskirk’s Tyler McGladdery put the Firwood Bootle attack to the sword with a sparkling unbeaten 100 from 60 balls, and had fine support from Rob Rankin, 50, as the home side amassed a very healthy 182 for 3.

Despite Sam Kershaw compiling a valuable unbeaten 54 and Will Purser, 21, no other batsmen made any impression condemning the visitors to a 63 run reversal.

NORTHERN are in fourth place of the Liverpool Competition Premier Division table at the halfway stage of the season after they were beaten by six wickets at second placed New Brighton on Saturday, writes Glenn Wallworth.

Northern were asked bat first and declared their innings on an impressive 220-5, thanks to Taylor Cornall 82, skipper James Cole 70 and an unbeaten 41* from Jack Boardman.

The total was not enough, however, as New Brighton skipper Andrew Clarke blasted a century (139 including 19 x4 and 3x6), leaving opener Tom Horrocks 49* and Louis Botes 24* to seal victory on 221-4.

Third placed Ormskirk who included three Rankin brothers in their line up (Alex, Harvey and Robert) had a four wicket home win over an out of form Formby.

The visitors elected to bat and put 201 up on the

board, thanks to runs from Jason Underwood 50, Tatenda Taibu 40 and Ben Aitchison 28, whilst skipper Nick Caunce led the bowling attack with 3-25.

In reply, the hosts recovered from 53-5 to seal victory on 204-6, thanks to vital runs from Gary Knight 70 plus unbeaten knocks from Tom Hartley 67* and Ryan Maddock 17*.

Southport & Birkdale had a day to forget at Trafalgar Road as they suffered a 172 run defeat by Wallasey.

The visitors chose to bat and declared their innings on 213-7, thanks to runs from Sumit Ruikar 43, Chris Davies 41 plus 29 each from Danny Beaver and Harry Meehan, whilst skipper Chris Firth 3-59 and Gary Keedy 3-67 took the majority of the wickets to fall.

In reply, only Jack Baybutt 17 and Will Affleck 10 were able to reach double figures as the hosts were sent into a spin by Ruikar whose 7-26 helped dismiss the hosts for just 41.

This weekend’s local LDCC fixtures: Formby v Colwyn Bay, Leigh v Southport & Birkdale, Lytham v Ormskirk, Northern v Wallasey, Orrell Red Triangle v Bootle, Fleetwood Hesketh v Sefton Park, Wavertree v Ainsdale, Burscough v Caldy, Hightown St Mary’s v Liverpool, Maghull v Sutton and Norley Hall v Southport Trinity.

Maghull fall 24 runs short in chase at St Helens Town IN the Second Division, Maghull were beaten by 24 runs at St Helens Town who chose to bat first and were dismissed for 144 with Jaidel Richardson 34 and Will Griffiths 23 top scoring, whilst Cam Lawrenson 4-31 and Joe Medew-Ewen 4-65 took the bulk of the wickets.

In reply, a spirited 33 from Joe Campbell was the highlight of Maghull’s reply as they were dis-

missed for 120, with Phil Murgatroyd 4-25 and Richardson 4-40 the chief destroyers with the ball.

Burscough lost by 44 runs at third placed Parkfield Liscard, where the hosts elected to bat and thanks to 6-36 from Ryan Hughes were dismissed cheaply for 134, with Kamran Hussain top scoring with 30.

In reply, the visitors crashed from 50-1 to 90 all

out as everyone bar skipper Brenda Domigan 39, Daniel Unsworth 21 and Hughes 12 failed to make double figures, including five who fell for a duck, with Zaighum Abbas 4-13 and Neil Hughes 3-28 doing the majority of the damage with the ball.

Hightown St Mary’s suffered a 98 run home defeat by Norley Hall.

The visitors declared on 209-8, with Jacob Hetherington 54 and Ryan Mulville 43 top scoring against a bowling attack led by Jayden Schadendorf who took 6-56.

In reply Daniel McCann 35 and Matt Laybourne 34 top scored for the hosts who were finally dismissed for 111, with Hetherington taking 5-25 and Michael Simpson 3-14.

Bootle FC management and officials with Bongo’s Bingo staff and the new shirt.

Bongo’s Bingo to be Bucks shirt sponsors BOOTLE FC’s fine work off the pitch has continued with the club confirming a new shirt sponsor for the forthcoming season.

The club's first team will see all three of their kits sponsored by Bongo’s Bingo, with the Bucks confirming the agreement on Saturday night.

Speaking on the club's latest commercial deal, Bootle secretary and first manager Joe Doran said: “It’s fantastic to be

sponsored by a such a great organisation, Bongo’s Bingo is taking the world by storm and it’s an amazing live experience.

“We are over the moon to have our kits sponsored by them this season. I’m already looking forward to our Christmas Party, and I would urge anyone who hasn’t been to attend an event.”

Doran's side kick off their pre-season campaign away at Ashington this weekend, in the first of their five games before they commence their North West Counties League campaign on Saturday, August 3.
