CCTV plan to catch culprits who leave their Awards for rubbish on Bootle street volunteers Report by Tom Martin

Bin bags on Stanley Road

FLYTIPPING including piles of bin bags left on a Bootle road has become so bad that Sefton Council is looking to install CCTV cameras in a bid to catch the culprits.

Letters have been sent to residents to inform them that the local authority will crackdown on rubbish being left on the pavement along the stretch of Stanley Road opposite North Park.

Those living in the homes aren't given wheelie bins by the council, so bin bags are supposed to be left on the pavement the night before collection day.

However, bin bags are appearing days before, meaning they pile up and attract seagulls and cats who tear them open and leave litter strewn across the pavement and road.

The council are now saying they will discuss the possibility of installing CCTV cameras on the road in a desperate bid to stop it from happening.

The letter posted to local homes last week, urged locals to only put bin bags out the night before bin collection – and

also asked any landlords and owners to inform their tenants. The letter states: “Sefton Council has received numerous complaints concerning bags of waste and other items flytipped on the pavement of Stanley Road, opposite North Park before your tenants nominated collection day.

“As landlords, or owner occupiers Sefton Council would appreciate your assistance in ensuring all tenants/residents are fully informed of their legal responsibilities in relation to disposing of their domestic waste.

Prosecution “If tenants/residents fail to adopt the information, fixed penalty notices will be served to all offenders up to £400, and/or may result in prosecution being taken.

Given the amount of flytipping placed out on the pavement in advance of your nominated collection day, Sefton Council is looking to install CCTV within this immediate area to identify offenders.

“The collection point where your waste should be placed is the front of your property, if you have a wheelie bin, this should be used for storage only. This area is on a weekly bag collection, any waste presented in bins will not be removed.”

Landlady jailed for trying to force out pensioner from home Report by Tom Martin A ‘HEARTLESS and selfish’ landlady from Everton has been jailed for harassing an elderly resident in the hope of forcing him to leave her flat.

Violet Musoke, aged 61, of Stanza Court, has been put behind bars for three months after the first case of its kind brought by Liverpool City Council.

Musoke wanted to force 80-year-old Dennis Adderley to leave his home of 34 years, on Picton Road in Wavertree, and carried out some bizarre methods in trying to do so.

In November 2017, the landlord and members of her family turned up and gained access to the property under the false pretence of being there to carry out repairs.

They had with them blow-up mattresses, suitcases and chairs, and after entering the tenant’s home refused to leave in an attempt to harass him into leaving his home.

Mr Adderley became distressed and intimidated and eventually the police were called. The defendant and other persons at the property only left when they were threatened with arrest.

Liverpool City Council’s Landlord Licensing team had served an improvement notice on the landlord after finding outdated electrics, damp and fire hazards, as well as dumped rubbish in the back garden, during an inspection, Liverpool Magistrates court heard.

The court was told that Mr Adderley is a ‘regulated tenant’ under the Rent Act 1977 which means he has a secure tenancy. In order to evict a regulated tenant a possession order needs to be obtained from the court, which will only be granted if the landlord can prove a legal reason to evict.

Violet Musoke (centre) and relatives refused to leave the property until threatened with arrest

Following the landlord pleading guilty at an earlier hearing to breaching an improvement notice, failing to comply with two legal notices and harassment of Mr Adderley intending him to give up occupation of his property, the matter was back before Liverpool Magistrates Court on Thursday, July 26 for sentencing.

District Judge Andrew Shaw said Ms Musoke was guilty of “heartless and selfish” behaviour, of treating Mr Adderley “as an inconvenience, not a person” and said she had “tried to squeeze him out by direct action”. He also ordered her to pay him £500 compensation.

Deputy Mayor, Councillor Lynnie Hinnigan, said: “This is a shocking case in which the landlord attempted to intimidate a vulnerable elderly man into leaving their property which had been their family home for decades.

“It highlights the importance of our Landlord Licensing scheme, which brought this property on to our radar and led to us serving an improvement notice.

“We are determined to crackdown on rogue landlords and improve life for those tenants living in properties which aren’t up to standard.

“We are starting to see Landlord Licensing making a real difference to the lives of communities across Liverpool.”

The city council is carrying out the improvement work and will bill the landlord for the work, and also review her landlord licence.

Landlord Licensing was launched in Liverpool in 2015 and almost 45,000 licences have now been issued, with a further 9,000 unlicensed properties reported.

To date, around 75% of licensed properties inspected have found to be non-compliant on the first visit and in some cases closed down due to hazards such as dangerous electrics and problems with fire doors.

Since the scheme was launched, the city council has served 1,700 legal notices, brought 118 successful prosecutions, issued 146 cautions and a further 116 formal written warnings. Almost 1,300 cases are currently being considered for prosecution.

Rammed vehicle had mother and baby inside POLICE are hunting four men who rammed their car into another vehicle which had a woman and baby inside.

The sickening hit-and-run happened on Breck Road, in Anfield, on Tuesday, July 24 when a car crashed into the victim's vehicle at around 3pm.

Four men then ran from the scene and emergency services were called to check on the condition of the woman and baby, who were both thankfully unharmed.

A spokesperson for Merseyside Police said: “A report was received at around 3pm of a collision between two cars in Breck Road.

“Emergency services attended and a woman and baby were checked over by the ambulance service, however both sustained no injuries. It is believed four males, who were travelling in the other car, made off from the scene after the collision.

A ROW over a puppy led to a middle-aged man from Crosby viciously attacking a friend with a huge machete leaving him with gaping wounds to his head and shoulder.

Jailing Shaun Riley for 12 years on Friday, July 27 a judge told him that his attack on his defenceless victim, which has left him scarred and with damage to a chip in his skull, had been “utterly cowardly.”

Liverpool Crown Court heard that the two men lived in the same premises and had been such good friends for about 12 months that they had planned to go on holiday together.

On the afternoon of January 26 this year they went to the vets together with Riley’s puppy for inoculations After then going for a pint they set off to their flats in De Villiers Avenue, Crosby.

Mr McDonald was carrying the dog under his coat but Riley became impatient when some women wanted to pet it as they walked through Sainsbury supermarket’s car park and he swore at his friend.

Mr McDonald, 52, who was walking with a stick and had a leg brace on, was angry about that

Shaun Riley

and so handed him the dog and walked off without him, said Graham Pickavance, prosecuting.

After Riley came home Mr McDonald went to his upstairs flat “to give him a piece of his mind” but when he went to leave after a row found the front door was locked.

“Meanwhile Riley had gone into the kitchen and came out with a machete.

“Mr McDonald turned to face the front door and was struck twice with the weapon to his shoulder and the back of his head. Riley unlocked the door and Neil went to his flat bleeding heavily and called the police.”

The court heard that armed police arrived and 52-year-old Riley was arrested.

He had hidden the weapon, which had an 18 inch long blade, on a concealed ledge in a cup-

board.

Recorder Ian Unsworth, QC, described it as “an utterly cowardly attack. He was defenceless.

“It is only good fortune you did not kill him.”

He told Riley, who was shaking in the dock, “He called the emergency services, but you did not.

His perilous state must have been obvious to you but you did nothing at all to help him. You went about trying to help yourself and tried to hide the machete.

He said that he “blatantly ” lied when interviewed and sought to blame the victim, describing him as “a mad maniac.”

Riley, of De Villiers Avenue, Crosby, had claimed he had acted in self-defence when Mr McDonald attacked him with his walking stick but the jury rejected his account.

Mr Pickavance told how the victim, who had a four inch long wound to his head, has been left with blinding headaches and has vision problems.

He has sleeping problems and has been receiving counselling.

John Rowan, defending, said that although Riley has convictions for 33 offences it did not show a propensity for violence.

He suffers from epilepsy and has battled heroin addiction. He managed to give it up ten years ago though is still on a Methadone prescription.

Plans in pipeline for huge logistics facility to be located at Netherton’s Atlantic business park Report by Tom Martin

George Travers

George kicks the habit thanks to free service A BOOTLE pensioner who managed to stop smoking is urging others to do the same by using a free service.

George Travers went to Smokefree Sefton’s clinic at the May Logan Centre, in Bootle, and is delighted that he has said goodbye to cigarettes.

He said: “I have been smoking most of my life, at least 20 per day. I’m in my 70s now and was unsure if I would ever quit.

“However, I would like to thank Smokefree Sefton because, after attending Smokefree Sefton and completing the course with the help and support of my advisor, I am now smoke free!”

The other benefit is that George has noticed he’s got more cash to spend.

He added: “I am looking forward to my holiday in Spain with the money I have saved. I would say to anyone ‘It’s never too late to stop’.”

Thousands of people in Sefton have also successfully quit smoking with the help of the borough’s free stop smoking service.

Smokefree Sefton, a partner of Living Well Sefton and managed by Solutions 4 Health, offers professional support in a variety of community venues to make it easier for people to get the help they need to stop smoking.

If you would also like to stop smoking then ring Smokefree Sefton, which is commissioned by Public Health Sefton, on 0300 100 1000 for details.

PLANS to build a huge distribution and logistics facility on brownfield land in Netherton have been boosted by a grant of more than £750,000.

Royal London Mutual Insurance Society Limited wants to build the facility on vacant land within the Atlantic Park business site, which is next to Dunningsbridge Road.

The proposal, called Project Olympus, could see the construction of a new 105,000 sq ft distribution and logistics facility, which bosses say would create 104 jobs and boost the economy by £39 million over a ten year period.

The development at Atlantic Park is planned to be launched in October 2018 and work completed

by August 2019.

Liverpool City Region Combined Authority has agreed to spend £767,368 of its Single Investment Fund (SIF) on the project.

This is on top of £5million of the SIF fund has been given to a new Digital Innovation Factory on the University of Liverpool’s campus.

Atlantic Park Business Park has already been at the centre of development this year after contact centre and software specialist firm Kura, opened a new headquarters at the site.

PLANS to turn a former social club in Bootle into a personal gym have been given a green light by Sefton Council.

A proposal has been approved to transform the closed-down Bootle Irish National Club, on Derby Road, into a fitness centre.

The council say one of the reasons it was given the go-ahead was because a maximum of only four people would be using the gym at any given time – so they believe it won't impact on nearby residents.

A report published by the council states: “On the opposite side of Derby Road across the A565 are residential houses which are set back from the main road.

“The applicant has submitted detailed plans showing how the gym will operate with a maximum of four people on site at any given time.

“There are no other neighbouring properties to consider so the proposal complies with Local Plan Policies”.

Vets to star in TV documentary

Students visit China to coach football to local youngsters STUDENTS from Everton’s Sixth Form College have arrived in China for a three-week coaching trip to support football development across East Asia.

Around 30 students and teachers have flown to Beijing along with Everton in the Community (EitC) coaches to deliver football coaching sessions to schoolchildren in four cities across China.

In partnership with social outreach group Children’s University China and China’s largest education group, OCEG, the group will be spread across the cities of Shanghai, Yangzhou, Beijing and Shenyang as they spend their time coaching children aged 4-17, as well as educating them on all things Everton!

And ahead of their three-week work experience trip to China, the Everton Sixth Form students were working hard to prepare training plans and risk assessments, as well as developing resources for coaching the children ‘the Everton Way’.

Three EitC coaches are also in attendance to represent the Club’s official charity in China. As well as continuing EitC’s work in supporting communities worldwide, they will help develop the Sixth Form students’ skills and mentor them during their coaching activity, as they aim to inspire potential EitC staff of the future.

This is the second consecutive year that Everton Sixth Form students have had the opportunity to gain vital work experience in East Asia, thanks to the support and funding of Mark Upton, Evertonian and CEO of Children’s University China.

Upton said: “Once again its fantastic to see Everton Sixth Form College and EitC reach out to positively impact the lives of youngsters here in China. As a lifelong Blue living in China for 13 years, I couldn’t be feeling any prouder than I am right now. Everton are unlike any other football club – I know the People’s Club impacts the lives of the community in Merseyside massively and now it is doing the same in China!

“These great young coaches are teaching football skills, teamwork, cooperation, and are acting as wonderful ambassadors for Everton.”

Matt helps treat a sick kitten at the vets

A NORTH Liverpool vets will be at the centre of a new documentary to air this weekend on Channel 4.

Cameras have spent the last six months at two of PDSA's veterinary practices, in Kirkdale and Huyton, with the first show of the The People's Vet to be broadcast on Saturday, August 4 at 4.30pm.

The 20-part series, to be aired every week, captures all the drama as PDSA’s vet teams deal with hundreds of cases every single day – ranging from routine check-ups to extraordinary life-and-death emergencies.

Series Executive Producer Sarah Murch said: “The PDSA has, for 100 years, treated British pets when their owners can’t afford private vet treatment. We deliberately chose two of their busiest city hospitals to see the day to day realities faced by their veterinary

Opportunist thief stole from car A FORMER Netherton man has appeared in court for stealing from a car that a woman had mistakenly left unlocked on her drive way.

Shane Nixon, 30, formerly of Hereford Drive, who had 41 convictions for 73 offences on his record at the time, stole a purse, a phone charger and loose change.

In the purse was a £30 Boots voucher and two bank cards belonging to the woman, which he went on to use for contactless payments.

As he appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court on July 25, he

pleaded guilty to theft from a motor vehicle in Litherland, and three offences of fraud by false representations.

Prosecutor Lynn Clark said that on March 14 the complainant had left her Ford Mondeo in her driveway believing that it was locked and secure. The following morning she received a text message from Capital One bank saying it had detected fraudulent activity on her credit card account.

Nixon had used it for three transactions at two local stores, totaling £88.36, the last two at £29.99, one penny less than the

maximum allowed on contactless payments. He was caught after he was identified on CCTV. The court heard that Nixon, now living in supported accommodation in Anfield, was jailed in April for four fraud offences. He was then jailed again in May for theft from motor vehicle and breach of a criminal behaviour order.

The magistrates granted Nixon a conditional discharge for 18 months but ordered that he pay compensation for £50 along with £105 in costs and victim surcharge.

teams, working to treat sick pets and helping their owners. It was very moving to see the importance of pets in the clients’ lives, and their gratitude for the treatment they received.”

One of the vets featured in the TV show is Matt Forshaw, senior vet at PDSA’s Huyton vets. He said: “The series gives us a great opportunity to show the wider world what an important job we do at PDSA. We’re here for people who love their pets but find themselves struggling to meet vet bills.

“It was quite an experience having the cameras on site. Any initial concerns we had were quickly overcome and they only filmed staff and pet owners who were happy with cameras present.

Nothing was staged; they just wanted to capture real life.

“Every day at PDSA is different and you never know what’s coming next through the door.

That’s what makes it a fascinating job and I think that will come across in the series.”

Police called to court after reports of ‘prisoners causing trouble’ THERE was a heavy police presence at Sefton Magistrates' Court last Sunday following reports of “prisoners causing trouble”.

Officers were sent to the Bootle court building, on Merton Road, on Sunday, July 29 and locals shared images on social media of police cars parked outside.

A spokesperson for Merseyside Police confirmed that prisoners had caused problems for officers, but that the situation soon calmed down.

The metal gates, inset left, have been stolen by thieves using a hacksaw, inset right.

Hacksaw thieves steal gates from children’s play area Report by Tom Martin THIEVES used a hacksaw blade to steal metal gates which were recently installed at a children’s play area at Lonsdale Park in Litherland.

The bizarre theft has got Sefton Council scratching their heads and they have appealed for anyone with information to get in touch with either them or Merseyside Police.

The council posted images on social media on Tuesday, July 31 showing the gate and also a hacksaw blade which was left on the ground nearby.

A post on Twitter by Sefton Council said: “Whoever did it left their hacksaw blade right next to the railings. We'll happily swap you it back for our gates!

“On a serious note, if you know where they are, get in touch with us or Merseyside Police.”

CHILDREN from a scouts group in Crosby who wanted to help people with mental health issues have come up with a unique way to help – by ‘adopting’ a section of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal!

The 4th Crosby & District St William of York Scouts group, who are based in Thornton, have used the location to organise litter-picks and plant flowers.

They invite locals who may have mental health problems in the hope it can encourage them to talk about it openly or just get out for the afternoon and enjoy some tasks.

They adopted a section of the canal near Rimrose Valley Country Park, in Litherland.

A spokesperson for the scouts group said: “Our scouts pledged to create a space where people could go and talk.

“They hope that they can learn more about mental health and raise the profile of mental health within our community.

“They made planters from scratch with staff from The Desmond Family Canoe Trail and Safe Regeneration in Bootle, and have Children enjoy working on the planters at the canal community by doing something that would stand now installed these along our adopted secthe test of time. We use the canal for a lot for our tion of the canal.

“As adult leaders, we believe that our young activities and the scouts wanted to do something people should feel valued and encourage them to that could make lots of people happy.

“We should try to encourage people who strugmake decisions in all that we do.

“We decided as a troop to do our bit to improve gling with mental health problems to enjoy the awareness of mental health and to create a space outdoors and spend time with friends. The canal close to where we live to encourage people to go to which runs through the heart of our community was the ideal place for this. and talk.

Cash seized from criminals to fund children’s events Report by Tom Martin MONEY seized from criminals will be used by police to pay for community events in south Sefton!

A total of £35,000 from Merseyside Police's Community Cashback Fund has been awarded to Active Sefton, who will use it to stage Park Nights during the school summer holiday.

From Monday, July 30 and throughout August, there will be a range of activities provided every weekday evening including street golf, football and zorb football, ultimate Frisbee, dodgeball and a climbing wall.

Community Inspector Ian Jones said: “Active Sefton provide an extremely valuable resource for our communities, and it is great to be able to support them this summer in their efforts to give young people a really enjoyable way of getting together and keeping fit and healthy.

“The communities of South Sefton have experienced some difficult times in recent months, so it is all the more satisfying to be able to take cash from criminals and give something positive back to young people, the vast majority of whom want to do something positive with their time and with their futures.

“We hope everyone who can, takes up places on the activities and has a fantastic time.”

Cllr Ian Moncur, Sefton Council’s Cabinet Member for Health and Wellbeing, said: “The funding we received from Merseyside Police has enabled us to continue providing a valuable service for young people in Sefton that offers an exciting range of free activities.

“The initial POCA funding has allowed us to

A NEW region-wide adoption agency covering Sefton has been launched.

Adoption in Merseyside (AIM) brings together a team of around 50 staff from across Liverpool, Knowsley, Sefton and Wirral councils who have been seconded into the new organisation. Responsibilities include recruitment, approval and ongoing support for adopters, tracking, linking and matching of children and the training and development of staff.

Councillor Barry Kushner, cabinet member for children’s services in Liverpool, said: “AIM means we are able to provide a better service for children and adopters.

“Previously, each local authority has effectively competed with

by Danielle Thompson each other for adopters and there has been a great deal of duplication of effort. By creating a regional agency, we have widened the net of potential adopters, shared expertise and ideas and are making sure adopters and children get a consistent level of support, regardless of where they live.”

Every year, the four local authorities approve around 100 adopters each year and place around 140 children up for adoption.

Councillor John Joseph Kelly, cabinet member for children, schools and safeguarding at

Sefton Council added: “It makes sense that we are collaborating with our neighbours to meet the challenges we face together and increase the potential for our vulnerable children to find a forever family.

“I’m looking forward to this new regional adoption agency making the process for would-be adopters quicker and more effective as both they and children in Sefton and the wider region are matched so they begin their new family life.”

The launch of the new agency follows a successful bid to the government by local authorities on Merseyside to create a new shared service to get more children with a plan for adoption placed successfully and as quickly as possible.

Patients could soon have ‘e-consultations’ with their GP practice

part of this trial, and there are now plans to make electronic consultations with GPs more widely available to patients across the city.

Aintree Park Group Practice was the first GP practice in Liverpool to begin trialling the new electronic appointments system.

Dr Mark Wigglesworth, a GP at Aintree Park Group Practice said: “We recognise that having an online appointment with their doctor is not going to be everyone’s

preference, but amongst those who have chosen to try e-Consult, there’s been some fantastic feedback so far.

“Patients tell us that it’s really easy to use, and they like the fact that it offers them greater choice and flexibility over how, where and when they can access GP advice and treatment.

“We’re finding that e-Consult is helping people from many different walks of life to communicate with their GP in a new way; whether that’s people living with longterm conditions who are able to manage medications changes from home more easily, or patients who might find it difficult to attend a surgery and talk to a doctor face to face about their health.

“Lots of people have very busy lives, and can struggle to juggle attending appointments with the time pressures of work, family and other commitments. The great thing about online advice is that it can fit around anyone’s schedule – because they can choose to seek advice at a time and place that suits them.”

To find out more about using e-Consult electronic appointments, please visit your practice website or ask about it at your GP surgery for more information.

Reg. Charity Number 1000698

PATIENTS could soon be using electronic consultations at their GP practices following a new system brought in by NHS Liverpool CCG. This new system, known as e-Consult, is an online tool which enables all patients who are registered to a practice to request health advice from their GP electronically, by simply filling out a short online triage form.

It offers all patients a quick and convenient alternative to calling their surgery or having to attend an appointment in person for advice on non-urgent health problems, or to help their GP or practice nurse monitor an ongoing health condition, or discuss any medication changes.

It also allows parents and carers to access electronic consultations on behalf of a child or relative too.

The GP e-Consult system has already been successfully trialled at five GP practices in Liverpool over the past year, including Aintree Park Group Practice, Brownlow Health and Jubilee Medical Centre.

To date, almost 2,000 patient consultations have been provided in Liverpool as

Park to host family fun day August 2 between noon and 3pm and will include fairground rides, stalls and crafts, facepainting and other games.

It is being organised by Friends of Bowersdale Park.

Do you remember local Spitfire hero?

Brooms Cross Road is getting busier all the time

I have a dream of a wildlife park!

I remember the Spitfire pilot who ran a mobile shop in an old single deck bus stationed alongside The Grapes Hotel in Thornton just after the war.

He had been badly burnt and his face had been operated upon to ease his suffering.

Are there any older readers of the Champion who can add to this?

Can anyone name him?

Does his family still live in the area?

I woul like to think that it is not forgotten that we had this hero running his business alongside us in spite of his painful injuries.

As a daily commuter using Brooms Cross Road, I have noticed it is getting gradually busier.

This week on two occasions around 7.30am there were bumper to bumper queues from the roundabout at the end of Moor Lane right to Switch Island, with journeys taking 25 minutes.

There were no incidents or roadworks at Switch Island.

If this keeps happening, people will soon revert to the route through Thornton and the Northern Perimeter Road.

Or turning off the A565 to go through Homer Green and Maghull to get on to the motorways to save time - which would bring problems to those areas.

Are Highways England and the Council monitoring this situation?

Would they and Peel Port Holdings not seriously consider the merits of the longer term benefits of investment in a dedicated cargo / haulage transport tunnel from the docks to and from an M57/58 interchange which would allow free flow of haulage to and from the motorway system?

Or will they continue with their foolhardy plan to direct increasing numbers of HGVs into an increasingly gridlocked A5758 via the Rimrose Valley?

Aside from the concerns about the damage to the natural environment, this route would seem to make less economic sense, long term.

I have a dream.

It starts by removing the sign in Seaforth that says Country Park away from the railway station and houses and put a new one further back (called Wildife Park).

Then I see a road that takes all the through traffic away from the Crosby roads, Litherland, Ford, Thornton and the A50306.

What a dream.

At each side of the road are trees, footpaths, wildlife ponds, small hills and a cycle way through to Thornton and areas.

We need a car park by the football pitches then disabled people can have access to the areas.

And people in Waterloo can have some peace and quiet.

Jim Meehan, Crosby

D Smith, Litherland

PICTURE of the week

Children are not taught realities of modern warfare Your correspondent LDG of Maghull is being naive if he believes our children are being taught the harsh realities of modern warfare.

Look at any Armed Services TV commercial or watch our children being encouraged to clamber over tanks and play with machine guns at any Armed Forces Open Day and you will see the truth about the lies being peddled to them.

Contrary to what he claims, you don’t need any martial skills to deploy drones - computer gaming skills are much more relevant.

As for ‘keeping democracy safe’ - our young men weren’t sent to Iraq and Afghanistan to defend us from invasion but to further the imperial ambitions of arrogant and callous politicians on both sides of the Atlantic.

Far from defending us from tyranny, our invasion of Iraq left our country vulnerable to reprisal attacks.

As professionals, our soldiers had no choice but their experiences in these unnecessary and brutal wars have left deep psychological scars in many with large numbers deeply traumatised and living on our streets.

It is these veterans who should be in our schools teaching our children the real truth about modern warfare.

Pleased to meet you. This dog and a young puppy took time out from their walk at the Green Fayre in Beacon Country Park to get to know each other.

Merseytravel’s new timetables Proms audience should show don’t connect trains with buses more respect for performers In reply to your letter about Merseytravel listening to passengers’ views, I have to say that it all might work for him but not everyone.

During the week I used to get the 2.55pm train from Liverpool Central to Maghull, this got me back to Maghull at 3.15pm.

In time to get the last No 33 Comfy Bus back to our estate (Morehey Road).

Now it leaves Central at 47 minutes to the hour and gets in Maghull at 10 past.

But our last bus leaves at 11 minutes past the hour.

It is nearly always late, so it means people have a 20 minute wait or have to get a taxi to get home.

Also when are they going to change the bus timetables to the new times?

The 32 Bus says 11 minutes past the hour weekdays then 21 minutes on a Saturday.

We stood at the station waiting for the 21 minutes

past last Saturday for 15 minutes, only to be told by a driver ‘Oh it’s the same time as during the week.’

It was the same the other Monday outside Southport Hospital.

The bus arrived 10 minutes early as they haven't changed the timetable at the bus stop.

I rang Merseytravel on the Saturday only to be told there was no one there on a Saturday, but they would leave a message for them to pick up on Monday!

Why did they have to change all the train and bus times when it is only one minute difference with the train time when it arrives at Maghull from Maghull North.

Just thought I would put a different view on it.

Harry Clark, A 81 year old Disabled Pensioner)

Having attended the Proms in the Park event at St Mary’s School, Crosby I was surprised to read of your positive review of the event in last week's Champion.

If you are not interested in listening to music or choirs singing, this is the event for you.

You can take in your own alcohol (apparently this is not allowed but no one checks this.)

And loudly converse with your associates whilst the orchestra play and the choirs sing.

It seems people think listening to people talk rubbish is much more rewarding than listening to Sir

Hubert Parry.

Children, were allowed to run everywhere, and some were even playing football.

I left.

Ironically, as I reached the outside of the field, away from the yapping crowds, uou could actually hear the excellent musical play of the children.

Let’s hope those children continue to develop their skills and find themselves a more respectful audience.

Measles alert after outbreak on Merseyside

by Danielle Thompson SEFTON residents are urged to ensure children and young adults are vaccinated after a measles outbreak in Merseyside.

They are being asked to check in particular that they have been administered two doses of the MMR vaccine following the confirmation that measles is circulating in the region.

Public Health England is working with local authorities and the NHS to make sure anyone in the Merseyside area who is not protected by the MMR vaccine is aware of its importance, after 22 cases of measles broke out on the Wirral. None of the individuals affected had received the MMR vaccine.

Measles symptoms include a high fever, sore, red, watery eyes, coughing, aching and feeling generally unwell and a blotchy red-brown rash, which usually appears after the initial symptoms.

Health experts say further

cases are expected as there are a significant numbers of unprotected teenagers and young adults who could catch measles at summer festivals and when they travel abroad for the summer holidays.

Measles is a highly infectious viral illness that can be very unpleasant and sometimes lead to serious complications. It is possible for anyone at any age to get measles if they are not protected by receiving the MMR vaccine.

GP surgeries are also offering the MMR vaccinations for chil-

dren and young people of all ages.

Dr Janey Kenyon, consultant at Public Health England North West, said: “Measles can be a very serious illness and lead to severe complications, especially in people who are particularly vulnerable or have other health conditions.

"The free MMR vaccine is a safe and effective way of protecting against measles, as well as mumps and rubella.

“It’s particularly important for parents to take up the offer of MMR vaccination for their children when offered at one year of age and as a pre-school booster at three years, four months of age.

“If children and young adults have missed these vaccinations in the past, it’s important to take up the vaccine now from GPs. “Check your child’s Red Book to see if they’ve received MMR vaccinations as scheduled, or check with your GP surgery if you’re unsure. Most adults born before 1970 will have developed some immunity to measles so are less at risk but can still receive the vaccine.

Sefton is best local authority in Merseyside for council tax collection SEFTON Council has been named the best performing Merseyside local authority for the collection of council tax.

Figures released by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government show that Sefton continues to outperform neighbouring authorities in the Liverpool City Region for collection of both council tax and National Non-Domestic Rates.

The annual collection rate for 2017/18 showed that the local authority had a council tax collection rate of 96.3%, while

collection rates for National Non-Domestic Rates was 98.7%.

Cllr Paulette Lappin, Sefton Council's Cabinet Member for Regulation and Compliance, said: “These figures will provide reassurance to residents that we are maximising our revenue to keep council tax down.

“Everyone who is required to pay their council tax and Business Rate bills should do so, and anyone who is struggling should contact us directly where we can try and help.”

Paramedics from the GMB union will stage the strikes

Paramedics to strike every week over long pay dispute PARAMEDICS from North West Ambulance Service say they will stage a strike every week until a resolution is found for their longrunning pay dispute.

It will involve those who are members of the GMB union, who have already walked out over pay and last month when they staged two-hour strikes at the start of their shifts.

Now, GMB say these new strikes will take place every week “until at least October” with the walk-outs to last 26 hours starting from 6am on Saturdays to 8am on Sundays.

Paramedics who are not members of the GMB union and emergency medical technicians will work as normal, but there are expected to be some delays in reaching patients.

GMB say the strikes will continue until NWAS shows “a genuine commitment” to finding a resolution to a long-running pay dispute.

This will affect ambulance staff across the region – which covers Lancashire, Cumbria, Cheshire, Merseyside and Greater Manchester.

Mike Buoey, GMB Organiser, said: “This is the last situation our paramedics wanted to find themselves in, but they are desperate for management to listen to their side of the story.

“They ’ve been waiting a long time for their job to be re-evaluated for the years between 2005 to 2016. NWAS currently has an acting CEO

and GMB believes he is ignoring this issue in the hope it will go away.

“We need to speak to someone with authority who shares out interest in resolving this matter.

“After more than 13 years, our members are now saying enough is enough.”

NWAS paramedics have already staged four strikes in recent weeks after a ballot of members saw more than 84% of those who responded vote for strike action.

It said it had asked for an external body to conduct the job evaluation which NWAS refused - and an independent review into why the evaluation had taken so long.

GMB represent more than a quarter of NWAS paramedics.

NWAS said it was "extremely disappointed" but plans were in place to minimise impact on patients.

Lisa Ward, interim director of organisational development for NWAS said: "The trust is extremely disappointed.

"We are moving forward with a meeting which our other two unions, Unison and Unite, have agreed to attend but are frustrated at GMB's unwillingness to accept our invitation and engage with us.

"The invitation to join the trust, our other trade unions and the National Job Evaluation Group remains open to the GMB."

The Champion ● Wednesday 1 August 2018

Pilot boat’s dazzle took shine off a delightful docks lunch I SUPPOSE everybody has experienced the disappointment that comes when an event they've looked forward to is spoiled.

And I certainly felt somehow empty and let down last week.

Last Wednesday I had arranged to have lunch with two friends in the top floor dining room at the Maritime Museum at Liverpool's Albert Dock.

And it all started out so well.

It was a beautiful hot summer's day and I chose to walk right down to the Pier Head and then along the riverside walk to the Maritime Museum.

And right there, at the Pier Head, a cruise liner was tied up It was what I would call a ‘proper ’ ship too not one of the most recent ‘Butlins Afloat’ style.

So I was feeling quite at peace with the world until the Mersey Ferry pulled away from the stage on its river cruise.

Shock, horror - it was painted in a ghastly ‘dazzle’ livery.

And I confess it worked if it was supposed to be a replica ‘camouflage’ job. Because when I noticed it again, 15 minutes later, it was nearing Seacombe ferry terminal, and from my distant viewpoint it honestly resembled nothing more than a rather tall heap of rubbish moving slowly up river.

Tell me, was there something wrong with the admittedly sober but dignified livery carried by Mersey Ferries for generations?

Anyway, it jarred on my good feelings - and got me thinking.

This compulsion to modernise just about anything (if a camouflage job could be called that) is spreading.

Advertising vinyls obscuring the windows of buses - not only restricting a passenger’s outward view but again ruining whatever livery has been adopted.

And continuing my Mersey walk, I wondered also about the modernistic buildings springing up along the Mersey frontage. All these concrete straight angled lines and occasional unrelated swoops - they look OK now, but what about once they start to weather? In 100 years’ time, will folk really want to stare and wonder the way they do with the Three Graces?

But all this I could probably have put behind me until I arrived at the Albert Dock itself.

A feature for many years has been the permanently moored former Mersey pilot ship 'Edmund Gardner' with its familiar black hull and white upperworks.

For 30 years she was a vital part of the service where pilots were transferred to ships approaching the Mersey and guided them into and out of the docks.

And in that time she was never, ever painted in a ‘dazzle’ camouflage livery. She is now.

Surely , one of the main reasons for having the Edmund Gardner at the dock at all is show visitors what a Liverpool pilot ship really looked like Now the camouflage paint job has really done its work, and broken up her lines so that she looks like a garish and poorly put together model of a ship made of Lego!

On the bright side, no amount of rashly applied paint managed actually to spoil a thoroughly convivial lunch.

It always surprises me that the restaurant atop the museum, with wonderful views of the Albert Dock and the Mersey, manages to serve quality grub at reasonable prices - certainly when you see prices being charged of tea and ice creams at nearby outlets.

And I did have one lovely surprise.

Some years ago when I was down in Norfolk, I bought a book about the life, times and achievements of one Herbert Woods. He started a yard to hire boats to holidaymakers which still exists.

Someone pinched it - and I was upset, particularly when I found it is now almost impossible to replace.

One of my friends had located a copy and presented it to me.

Day made, after all.

The visit came as the terminal prepared to welcome its largest regular caller to date when 2M (Maersk and MSC alliance) introduces a new transatlantic container service to the port.

The Minister met workers from varying roles across the container terminal.

The Port’s chief operating officer Patrick Walters said: “Workforce diversity is very important to us.

We are committed to increasing diversity, and attracting more women to the industry and supporting their development into senior roles.

“We’re pleased the Minister has been able to see what we are doing to support skills development, employment and international trade.”

Ms Ghani added: “It was fantastic to see the workings of this thriving port and to meet the highlyskilled and dedicated staff who drive its success.

“Our ports play a vital role in Britain’s economy and I welcome the stellar work Peel Ports is doing to invest in infrastructure and skills for the future

2M is switching its TA2 service from Felixstowe to Liverpool on a temporary basis.

At the same time, Maersk Line’s South American service, Colombia Express, will also start calling at the port of Liverpool, exporting UK goods to Newark.

Liverpool will be the final port of call for both weekly services as they head westbound across the Atlantic.

The ships will load UK export cargo such as Scotch whisky, food products and trade machinery. The new services will also see the Port of Liverpool open up direct links with the US ports of Charleston and Savannah.

The TA2 and Colombia Express routes will use a range of vessels up to 8500 TEU. The larger vessels will call at Liverpool2 with smaller vessels using Royal Seaforth Container Terminal.

Earlier this year Peel Ports introduced a rail freight service connecting the Port of Liverpool to Scotland, in partnership with DB Cargo.

Lime Street station reopens after £140m refurbishment TRAIN services at Liverpool's Lime Street station have resumed following a £140million facelift.

The city centre station, which was closed for eight weeks during the work, reopened on Monday, July 30, with the biggest change coming in the form of the platforms which have all been remodelled to create more space for longer trains and more passengers.

Two new platforms which were built last year have also been commissioned, 3km of track has been upgraded and the track layout completely remodelled to enable more services to run in and out of the station.

The closure was part of a £340m Network Rail (NR) investment in the Liverpool City Region.

Martin Frobisher, Network Rail’s London North Western route managing director, said: “The transformation of Liverpool Lime Street is the station’s biggest upgrade since the 19th century.

“This vital upgrade is part of £340million of improvements across the Liverpool City Region and sits within the wider Great

Work taking place at Lime Street station

North Rail Project. This work will bring significant improvements for train customers for generations to come.”

Other changes include extensive upgrades to signalling equipment and overhead line equipment have also been completed.

Signalling control has now been moved to centrally-operated Manchester Rail Operating Centre, which means more reliable journeys for passengers, allowing faster decision making on the railway to minimise delays.

The station’s eight week trans-

formation this summer is the second major phase of its upgrade, the first taking place in autumn last year.

Steve Rotheram, Liverpool City Region Metro Mayor, said: “These improvements will significantly improve services for rail users in the Liverpool City Region, and I’m pleased they have been completed on time.”

Some additional, final works will take place on Sunday, September 2 and Sunday, October 14 before full project completion, which will see new platforms 1 and 2 come into full passenger use.

They arrive in Liverpool and stop off at the Liver Building

Friends cycle from Paris to Liverpool for charity Report by Tom Martin A GROUP of friends cycled 500 miles from Paris to Liverpool to raise thousands of pounds for charity.

The gruelling challenge saw them set off from the Eiffel Tower before arriving in Liverpool four days later, with the finish line at Crosby Lakeside where hundreds of people gathered to cheer them on.

The locals, who were raising money for local charity TEAM (Together Everyone Achieves More), say most of them didn't even have a bike when they decided to do it!

But the novice cyclists put in the hard work and it certainly paid off, with a Just Giving website raising more than £11,000, which will be spent on disadvantaged children living in Sefton.

TEAM founder Kieran Owens said: “This was our toughest ever challenge but the turn out at Crosby Lakeside was amazing and I know the lads really appreciated all the love and support shown to them over the four days and during their training.”

TEAM is a registered charity and has been supporting disabled and disadvantaged children and their families in Sefton and Liverpool for almost a decade.

The cyclists set off from Paris

Through a number of different fundraising events, they have helped many families secure life changing medical equipment and ongoing care required.

They also offer a respite break to around 80 different families a year in the Sefton area, at a static caravan at Talacre Beach Resort, North Wales.

The Bothy Folk Club Residents Untrained Melody

Legendery Southport goalkeeper to feature on radio talk show ONE of Southport Football club’s legendary figures, long serving Gordon Hunt, will be featured by broadcaster John Keith in his A to Z of Merseyside Football show on Radio City Talk.

Hunt served the Haig Avenue club for a remarkable 53 years, all of them when Southport were members of the Football League.

He rose from a position as a junior clerk, when he joined the club from school in 1923, to become the youngest secretary in the league at

HARROGATE & YORKSHIRE DALES 5 Days

the age of 28 and then secretarymanager, a role he filled for 21 years from 1937 apart from a spell serving in the RAF during World War Two. He then reverted to secretary after Trevor Hitchen’s arrival as manager in 1958 and Hunt’s administrative and financial skills were renowned throughout football until his retirement in 1976.

John Keith’s show goes out on City Talk 105.9 FM and DAB on Thursday morning, August 2 at 9.40am.

Keep the Home Fires Burning Opera Viva St Mary’s College Review by Ron Ellis AFTER their highly successful ‘Roaring Twenties’ concert last year, Opera Viva have gone back a few years to present a selection of songs from the First World War and what a tremendous variety of music there was.

Music hall songs such as ‘The Boy I Love is up in the Balcony’ (sung by Kerry Firth) and ‘Mademoiselle from Armentieres’ (Blandine Pluck); classic love songs like ‘Waltz of my Heart’ (Isobel Jenkins) and ‘Love Will Find a Way’ (Pam Ashcroft); War songs – ‘Keep the Home Fires Burning and Pack Up Your Troubles’ sung by the Company; and a rousing finale by the whole room to ‘Jerusalem’ and ‘Land of Hope and Glory ’.

Peter McColgan read Wilfred Owen’s ‘Dulce et Decorum Est’ with impressive dignity, a poem which told the agonising truth about life in the trenches and brought the odd tear amongst the audience.

All the cast were dressed in an array of splendid costumes. The hall was set out

Ray Marshall performing in the 1960s

ONE of Southport’s best-known musicians from the 1960s, Ray Marshall, has died after a long illness.

Born William Ray Marshall, son of a wellknown Southport turf accountant, he was known to his fellow musicians as ‘Chuck’ because of his admiration for American rock’n’roller, Chuck Berry.

Ray was just 14 when he started his musical career, joining local group, The Toledos and, later, Little Gene and The Outlaws.

On leaving Meols Cop school, he entered the building industry but, ever the entrepreneur, he also started a part-time window cleaning round and set up a seafood business before turning professional with Tony Carlton’s Mersey Boys with whom he toured all over the UK and Germany.

When the group broke up, Ray went back to bricklaying and was involved in building Southport FC’s new grandstand after the 1966 fire. This led to him being a lifelong supporter of the club.

He joined Liverpool’s group, The Big Three, after they left Brian Epstein’s man-

agement, before settling down to a residency with George Oliver’s house band at The Riverside, Banks. In his later years, he became a street performer, both on Southport’s Lord Street and the Champs Elysees in Paris.

Ray leaves one son, Wayne, who lives in Southport.

The funeral service is at Southport Crematorium at 12.40pm on Thursday, August 9 with a get together after the service at the George Hotel in Cemetery Road.

Ray Marshall on his 61st birthday

Sherlock Holmes play comes to The Atkinson THIS autumn Blackeyed Theatre returns to Southport with a thrilling new adaptation of The Sign of Four, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s epic second Sherlock Holmes novel.

The production tours the UK from Septem-

ber to April 2019 but heads to The Atkinson on Friday 19 –Saturday 20 October 2018.

Crammed full of adventure, romance, comedy and, of course, one or two rather brilliant deductions, this faithful adaptation will combine original live music, high

energy theatricality and ensemble storytelling.

Tickets are £16.50 / £14.50 concessions / £12 children (under 16) and are available from The Atkinson by calling Box Office on 01704 53333.

PRAYERS

DEAR SACRED HEART OF JESUS

In the past I have asked for many favours.

This time I ask for one special favour. (mention it) Take it dear heart of Jesus and place it within your own broken heart where your Father sees it. Then, in his merciful eyes, it will become your favour, not mine.

Amen.

MOTORS

Westmoreland Services is a charming, daringly different island in a sea of bland mediocrity...

FASHION, fancy food, and – dare I mention it – football. There are plenty of things the French do better than us at the moment, but I can happily confirm that the motorway service station isn’t one of them.

Every services I’ve ever pulled into on the other side of the Channel has always been a distinctly bleak affair, and usually offers a single stall selling baguettes, a shop selling novelty biscuit tins in the shape of Citroen H-vans and six petrol pumps lined up outside, five of which are taken up by surly-

\

looking truckers. Our service stations, on the other hand, are much better – but they’re still far from perfect.

You might have seen in the news that travel consumer group Transport Focus named Norton Canes – the M6 Toll road’s sole service station – as the nation’s nicest motorway stop-off, with Thurrock Services on the M25 being given a pasting for keeping just 68 per cent of drivers happy. My own personal favourites include Forton (sorry, Lancaster) chiefly because the tower looks like it belongs in an episode of Thunderbirds, Stafford because it has such a wonderfully twisty access road, and Killington because it has its own lake and a name that’d be perfect for a horror film.

But in truth they’re as vaguely awful as one another, with their indifferent décor, limited shop choices, and insistence on two hours’ parking tops even if you need to stop for a nap on a long journey

– and don’t get me started on the loos. In a year when the UK celebrates 60 years of motorways, we’ve managed to reduce the services from somewhere when wide-eyed Sixties motorists went for days out to somewhere you dart in and out of as quicky as possible, and only because you’re desperate for a pee.

Just about the only exception that I can think of is Westmoreland Services as you head up the M6 past the Lake District, which is full of freshly prepared farm produce and delightful-smelling cheeses from across the prettier bits of Northern England. It is a charming, daringly different island in a sea of bland mediocrity.

But you don’t have to be in the Cumbrian hills for inspiration – you only have to look at airport depar-

ture lounges to see how a transport-related locale that everyone ventures out of necessity can be vaguely bearable. Where are the trendy designer shops at motorway services? Why aren’t there decent restaurants? And why – especially when today ’s services seemed to be stuffed full with Tesla charging points – aren’t there any posh executive lounges?

I reckon a country that’s come up with the Range Rover Evoque and Aston Martin DB11 can definitely come up with nicer service stations. We’ve got a long way to go – but at least they’re better than the French ones.

SUZUKI is introducing a series of updates for the Vitara – currently its most popular model.

The 1.6-litre petrol unit currently offered on the five-door crossover is being replaced by two different engines – a onelitre and a 1.4-litre, both of which are turbocharged and more efficient than the current engine. It’s also being given some design tweaks, including new alloy wheels and two new paint colours, and safety features including a blind spot warning system are being introduced.

Prices are going to be announced just before the new model arrives here in September.

Suzuki is treating its Vitara to plenty of tweaks and updates

SPORT

Bootle draw after rain brings early end to run chase IN common with most local cricket last weekend, Firwood Bootle’s Premier League match with Ormskirk at Wadham Road was seriously rain affected and ended in a slightly tame draw.

The visitors chose to bat first, and after openers Andrew Baybutt and Ian Robinson had put on 47 together the scoring rate slowed somewhat when the latter was dismissed for 27.

A third wicket stand of 85 between Baybutt (71) and Owen Griffiths (52) established a strong foothold for Ormskirk and the declaration arrived at 223-7 after 54 overs.

With weather interruptions taken into account, this left Bootle with only 34 in return

and they mostly opted for a pragmatic rather than a gungho approach to their task.

Danny Davies batted sensibly to ensure that there would be no undue alarms and the total had advanced to 106-5 at close of play, Ormskirk clearly frustrated to learn that the gap to Northern at the top of the table had widened from 17 points to 35.

Weather wise, Sunday turned out to be even worse as an attractive looking Ray Digman Trophy semi-final between Bootle and Northern was washed out without a ball bowled.

This coming Saturday Bootle travel across to the Wirral to take on Wallasey at The Oval in the Premier League.

Northern open up big gap at top of the table STORMY weather disrupted most games last Saturday, but Northern managed to complete their match and open up a 35 point gap at the top of the Liverpool & District Cricket Competition Premier Division with a 69 run home win over Rainford.

Northern elected to bat and thanks to an unbeaten 67* from skipper James Cole, 47 from Liam Grey, 41 from Tom Bailey and 26 from Chris Brownlow were able to declare on 220-5.

In reply, Paul Farrar 48, John Dotters 29 and skipper David Snellgrove 28 all made positive starts, before Tom Sephton 5-49 and Justin Snow 3-52 (plus a run out) spun the game Northern’s way as Rainford were dismissed for 151.

Formby remain in third place after a closely fought home draw against Wal-

lasey, the hosts were put in to bat and eventually bowled out after tea for 200, with Ollie Sutton scoring his highest first team score with a superb 83, whilst skipper James Seward weighed in with 31 against a bowling attack led by Chris Bourne 5-40 and Danny Beaver 3-44.

In reply Matt Wilcox 38, Andy Beaver 34, Jack Leckey 32 and Bourne 21* off 10 balls almost stole to match in the final 20 overs as they ended up on 190-8, with Lukman Vahaluwala taking 3-60.

First Division leaders Southport & Birkdale lost their unbeaten record as they were beaten by four wickets at Sefton Park.

S&S chose to bat and thanks in no small part to runs from Adam Phillips 83 and Harry May 36 were able to declare on 220-7 with Robbie

Houghton taking 3-25. Inbetween showers the hosts moved along to 2132 thanks to skipper Richie Forsyth 69, Jermain Davis 65 and Sean Vandome 62 setting up a tense last over finish executed by Greg Harvey 7* as the hosts sealed victory on 224-6, with visiting captain Chris Firth taking 4-61.

Burscough slipped to bottom of the table after they were beaten by 38 runs at home against Ainsdale, the visitors were asked to bat first and thanks to an unbeaten century from new skipper Stephen Lucas 133* and 59 from former skipper Andy Barlow were able to declare after 40 overs on 221-1.

In reply, Burscough were dismissed for 183 with Mal Swift and his skipper taking three wickets apiece, whilst skipper Jon Stone fell just short of a half century and Alan Murray completed his for the hosts.

Maghull tie for second time this season after yet another high scoring thriller MAGHULL recorded their second tie of their Second Division season in a thriller at Parkfield Liscard.

After choosing to bat Maghull declared on 241-4 with skipper Paul Walters carrying his bat with an unbeaten 101 (8x4 & 1x6), whilst able support came from Anthony Molloy with an unbeaten 49* and Jon Ring with 30.

In reply, Mohammed Ghafoor hit

84 and 40 each from Gareth Roberts and Grant Hughes almost took the hosts to victory before Cam Lawrenson stole the show with 3-42 and the run out of last man Darren Smith leaving both sides with fifteen points each.

Southport Trinity’s home match against St Helens Town was abandoned by the weather, the visitors were asked to bat and thanks to

Danny Roberts 73, Alec Davies 54 and Craig Woods 51 duly declared on 243-5.

In reply, Trinity lost two early wickets before Tony Campbell 26* and Wim Van Der Walt 16* restored order as they closed on 47-2.

Hightown St Mary’s were narrowly beaten by two wickets at leaders Old Xaverians, after electing to bat the visitors managed to put 169 up on

Meanwhile, in a week where Phil Stafford's side maintained their unbeaten start to pre-season, the Bucks boss added experience to his squad.

First signing of the week was experienced forward, Karl Noon. The former City of Liv-

erpool man has also had spells playing in the Conference North with Vauxhall Motors and the Northern Premier League with both Marine and Witton Albion.

While Stafford's second signing of the week saw the return of Antony Hickey. The forward started his non-league career with the Bucks before leaving the club for Warrington Town in 2010.

Since then, Hickey has had two spells with Runcorn Linnets - where in his second he helped them to the Hallmark Security League Premier Division Title.

In between his two spells with the Yellows was a spell with Skelmersdale United - where he helped them to the Evo-Stik North Championship in 2013.

Both men also featured for the Bucks in the last week. Noon started and scored in his side’s 4-0 win over Cammel Laird’s last Tuesday, before the Bucks beat Prescot Cables 2-1 on Thursday night, courtesy of goals from Ben Jago and Carl Peers.

On Saturday, Ste Milne and Andy Gillespie both scored twice as a Bootle XI beat Maghull reserves 4-0 - before Hickey made his second debut for the club in a 0-0 draw with Maghull's first team on the same afternoon.

Well earned draw for Mariners as they extend unbeaten run Marine 1 Chorley 1 MARINE extended their unbeaten pre season campaign with a draw against Chorley at the Marine Travel Arena on Saturday.

The blustery wind had an effect on the game with both goals assisted by the elements, with the draw being the right result over the 90 minutes.

The Vanarama North club were always likely to provide the toughest test so far for Tommy Lawson's new look squad, and so it proved as the Magpies had the better of the first half, hitting the woodwork twice as well as Dale Whitham giving them the lead with a spectacular strike after 17 minutes.

Marine had their chances as the half wore on with visiting custodian making a couple of good saves to keep out efforts Craig Carney gives some close attention to Chorley forward from Louis Coyne and Dom Reid.

The second half saw the Mariners mainly Marcus Carver in Saturday’s friendly. Picture by Josh Vosper.
