CASH BOOST FOR CENTRE Strand bearing fruit for council, claims leader SEFTON Council’s takeover of the Strand Shopping Centre appears to be already bearing fruit with the Bootle site generating £1million in 2017/18, which will be spent on local services.

The figure has come to light after Southport-based Conservative Councillor Ron Watson questioned the leader of Sefton Council Cllr Ian Maher at a recent Full Council meeting.

Cllr Watson wanted to find out why the council had bought the Strand considering expensive repair work which needs to be carried out to fix the roof.

It was reported in the Champion in June how plans were unveiled by the council to spend £3.4million for a roof repair and “general works”.

St Leonard’s is home to one of largest foodbanks in the country

A COMMUNITY centre in Bootle, which is home to one of the biggest foodbanks in the UK, has been given a £75,000 cash boost to support its services.

St Leonard’s Youth & Community Centre will receive the money from the Steve Morgan Foundation after it was picked by the charity as a worthwhile cause.

The centre, on Peel Road, is the home of South Sefton Foodbank, which is one of the largest in the UK and supports hundreds of locals living in the area.

The foodbank provides around eight tonnes of food a month and co-ordinates ten different distribution centres.

Report by Tom Martin The £75,000 grant will help towards the centre’s many services as well as help fund the centre manager’s salary for the next three years.

Debbie Shelley, St Leonard’s centre manager, said: “We are very grateful to the Steve Morgan Foundation.

Knowing that my role is secure for the next few years allows us to focus on supporting the people we help and move forward with our plans for the future.”

GREAT DEALS ON BEDS!

Man and woman arrested after baby was found on its own on street late at night TWO people have been arrested after a baby was found on his own at 10.30pm in Everton.

A member of the public contacted Merseyside Police after an 18-monthold boy was seen to be alone on Breckfield Road North on Thursday, August 2.

A spokesperson for Merseyside Police said: “A man and a woman have been arrested on suspicion of child neglect following an incident in Liverpool.

“At around 10.30pm, officers were called to Breckfield Road North following reports of a concern for safety for an 18 month old boy who was seen to be alone.

“Shortly after police arrival, a man, in his 40s and a woman in her 30s, both from Liverpool, were arrested and were taken to custody for further questioning.

“Safeguarding measures have been coordinated with social services to ensure the boy’s safety.”

POLICE have arrested nearly 250 people on suspicion of drink and drug-driving in only one month.

The month-long summer crackdown saw officers arrest 245 people, with 126 people arrested for drug drive after testing positive mainly to cannabis or cocaine.

119 people were arrested for drink drive offences such as failing a breath test or refusing to give one.

Of those arrested for drug drive offences 95% were male and 5% female with 73% in the 26-49 age range.

For those stopped for drink driving offences 82% were male and 18% female and 55% were in the 26-49 age range.

All those arrested face a minimum 12 month driving ban and could be hit with a £5,000 fine by a magistrate’s court.

Chief Inspector Diane Pownall from the force’s Roads Policing Unit said: “This summer’s campaign has again seen the number for arrests of drug drive exceed those for drink drive.

“Both are serious offences

with serious consequences and that is why we carry out targeted campaigns like this, in order to take offenders off the road and send out a clear message to others.

“I don’t want drivers to be complacent that they will no longer be caught because the summer campaign has finished.

“We will continue our efforts to educate the public and to highlight the risks of drink and drug driving and our enforcement activity will also continue throughout the year across Merseyside.

“My message to would-be offenders is that you can be stopped at any time by any police officer and be tested for alcohol or drugs.

“It only takes a matter of minutes for police to obtain a result and if you fail you will be arrested and taken to a police cell with the potential of a driving ban and a criminal record, which could cost you your job and affect not only you but your family.

“It really isn’t worth the risk of ruining your life and potentially the lives of others?”

Strand has already contributed £1m to council coffers, claims Sefton leader Report by Tom Martin From page 1 But Cllr Maher responded to Cllr Watson’s concerns by saying tax payers are not footing the bill and that the cost is covered by PPM (planned preventative maintenance programme) which is funded entirely through service charges paid by tenants.

Cllr Maher also reiterated that the takeover of the Strand makes financial sense for the council and that the £32.5million purchase, which was completed in May last year, won’t affect Sefton tax payers.

Cllr Maher added in his response that: “Sefton Council tax payers make no contribution

to any loan repayments. In fact, after interest and tax payments, the Strand contributed £1million to the Council in 2017/18, some of which has already been allocated to services.”

It's unclear what specific services will benefit from the fund, but a spokesperson for Sefton

Council told the Champion more details will be published in their financial accounts once it is audited and published.

Cllr Watson also wanted to know if the Strand would produce a fresh Business Plan for the Strand in light of the cost of repair work.

Cllr Maher responded by saying the current Business Plan is “ahead of performance”.

He said: “The current Business Plan for three years is ahead of performance and was produced in the full knowledge of all the commercial, financial, property, legal and corporate due diligence. There is no reason to produce a new Business Plan or review the existing plan.”

The council bought the Strand in May last year for a reported £32.5m, with claims that it will help them raise enough money to manage the centre and regenerate the area The takeover has raised eyebrows among some residents and councillors, who believe it will lead to expensive interest rates on the loan used to pay for it.

Travel company takes over unit in shopping centre

The Mayflower

Pub closes... but Mayflower to reopen soon A WELL-KNOWN pub in Bootle has closed – but there are already plans to reopen it.

Locals posted on social media last week about The Mayflower, on Washington Parade, which had seemingly closed down after it didn't open for several days.

However, the Champion has been told that this is only a temporary measure while it changes management and a new leaseholder is put in place.

Many people had shared their memories of the popular pub on Facebook, with some revealing their older relatives used to drink there many years ago.

The Champion reported in October last year how two managers and the licence holder of The Mayflower were each fined £4,500 for showing Sky Sports programs without paying for them.

A date for the pub reopening has not been given yet.

ANOTHER retail unit in the Strand Shopping Centre has been acquired after a national travel firm decided to move into Bootle.

Hays Travel has agreed to open a new branch in the shopping centre and they will now spend £60,000 in transforming the space before they open later this month.

Strand Shopping Centre manager, Rowland Parry, has welcomed the move and says the Strand is ‘flourishing’ after also welcoming Transylvania Eastern European Food Store and a new Post Office in recent months.

He said: “Hays Travel is an extremely well-respected brand in the travel industry and we are very pleased to be welcoming them to Strand Shopping Centre.

“We continue to work very hard alongside Sefton Council to encourage new tenants to the shopping centre and having Hays Travel join us so soon after the Post Office and Transylvania Eastern European Food Store is fantastic news for us and our loyal shoppers.”

The lease which Hays Travel has agreed with the Strand means six new jobs have been created.

Don Bircham, Hays Travel North West managing director, said: “Opening up a store in Bootle is a great addition for us and it fits the bill perfectly, in terms of our ideal

location. We have found a great central location at Strand Shopping Centre, in the heart of a bustling and vibrant community, and the management team there have been extremely supportive and welcoming which has been great.

“We will now be working hard to transform the new unit with a £60,000 modern, high-spec makeover which we have across all of our stores so our customers feel welcomed and comfortable when they come to book their holidays with us.”

Victim managed to escape onto roof and stayed in cold and wet for hours until he was rescued by firefighters Report by Lynda Roughley THREE drug dealers who violently assaulted another man, tied him up and bundled him into a cupboard in his own home have received jail sentences totalling 17 years between them.

They had tried to recruit their victim to join in their drug dealing racket and after he refused they launched the attack to terrify him into not grassing on their illegal enterprise.

Victim Sebastian Mruk was beaten on the feet with a baseball bat and suffered an agonising cigarette burn to the back of his right ear.

A Liverpool Crown Court jury heard that the men, fellow Polish nationals, had pulled him out of his bed and dragged him up a flight of stairs to the living room of his flat in Westminster Road, Kirkdale, before launching the attack.

They made threats to kill him and 35-year-old Mr Mruk told the court that he had genuinely feared he was going to be killed.

They tied his hands above his head with duct tape and bound his feet with a belt and eventually bundled him into a cupboard with a blanket over his head.

The defendants, Jacek Szymanski, Lukasz Rzeczkowski and Bartlomiej Teper, then went back to drinking and taking crack cocaine, said Zillah Williams, prosecuting.

When they went to search his bedroom the victim managed to escape and desperately fled through a skylight onto the roof of the four storey building

where he stayed in the cold and wet until being rescued by firefighters, bringing his four and a half hour ordeal to an end.

He was bare footed, soaked and shivering when rescued by firefighters after he had managed to alert a passer-by to his plight.

Teper, 31, of Woodbine Street, Kirkdale and Szymanski, 29, - who was absent for the trial - both received six years imprisonment. Rzeczkowski, 32, of no fixed address, who played a lesser role in the violence, was sentenced to five years.

A European Arrest Warrant has been issued for Szymanski, of Leyton, London. He has a previous conviction in Poland for drugs offences.

The court heard the terrifying incident began after Mr Mruk came home from work about 8 pm and found Szymanski, who had travelled to Liverpool from his London home, and Rzeczkowki, who were friends, already there and he joined them in drinking.

After he refused to join in their drug dealing plans Teper arrived and the assault then began, said Miss Williams.

Jailing them after a jury took just two and a half hours to find them all guilty of false imprisonment Judge David Aubrey, QC, said the victim had been humiliated: “You placed a blanket over his head and placed him in a closet while the three of you continued drinking alcohol and taking drugs.”

Having escaped onto the roof in the early hours of February 4 he stayed there before his rescue at 6.30am “because he was frightened and wanted to make sure that the three of you had gone.”

They had not believed their victim would report what had happened to him. “You all went about your business as if nothing had happened,” said Judge Aubrey.

In an impact statement Mr Mruk told how he has lost his job and home as a result of the incident .

The defendants all have previous convictions.

Dumped like rubbish - the dog left to die on verge Report by Tom Martin THE RSPCA has condemned as ‘despicable’ the person who left a dog to die on a grass verge.

Appalled officials at the animal charity said the dog was “dumped like rubbish” on Walton Lane in Anfield.

The small crossbreed was found by a shocked member of the public. The animal was so emaciated that all of his bones were visible. The dog was rushed to a vet who described his condition as ‘one out of ten’, which is the worse assessment possible.

Sadly the dog had to be put down.

RSPCA Inspector Helen Smith, investigating, said: “This small, brown-coloured, male crossbreed was extremely skinny, weighing just 3.6kg - around a third of what he should have weighed.

“He was in a dreadful state.

Vets said he had a body condition of one out of ten - the lowest possible - and had no muscle mass left on his little body. He was so emaciated all of his bones were visible.

“His coat was badly matted, he was covered in his own faeces and urine, and had urine burns all down his legs.

“It’s heartbreaking to think how long this poor dog had been suffering like this and, if he hadn’t have been found, how

The dog which was left to die on a grass verge

slow and painful his death might have been.”

Vets who treated the animal decided the only option was to end its suffering by putting him to sleep.

The dog, thought to be middleaged, was not microchipped and had no collar or ID tag.

“Unfortunately the RSPCA receives thousands of calls every year about abandoned animals,” Inspector Smith added.

“It’s irresponsible and cruel to abandon any pet who relies on their owner for all of their everyday needs.

“But, sadly, we are seeing more and more elderly or poorly animals being dumped like rubbish by owners who simply don’t want to get them the help and veterinary

treatment that they need. There’s absolutely no excuse when there are so many charities and veterinary clinics who offer help and discounted treatment.

“For someone to purposefully dump this poor, dying dog in such a state and leave it to suffer a slow and painful death is absolutely despicable.

“It absolutely breaks my heart to think about him lying on his own, frightened and in pain, for goodness knows how long. I can’t believe that anyone would treat an animal in this way.”

Inspector Smith asked anyone who recognises the dog or has any information about who is responsible for dumping him, to contact the RSPCA’s appeal line on 0300 123 8018.

Ten Streets gets new cycle station facility Report by Tom Martin THE up and coming Ten Streets district in north Liverpool has got a new cycle rental station to help boost transport options in the area.

The ‘citybike station, which has 99 other locations across the city, has pinpointed the Ten Streets area for its landmark 100th station and has been placed in the Titanic Hotel car park.

Situated near to the Regent Road entrance, the Ten Streets citybike station provides easy access to the city centre which is less than a ten minute ride away, with Peel’s emerging £5bn Liverpool Waters scheme within easy reach.

Regent Road is currently undergoing a multimillion pound revamp and will boast a new cycle lane which will eventually connect up a 20 mile route from Otterspool, in the south of the city, to Ainsdale in Sefton.

The roadworks are part of a £100m investment in the road infrastructure surrounding the Ten Streets district, which also includes two new waterfront link roads for the city council’s proposed new Cruise Terminal and Isle of Man Ferry Terminal.

The works are one of the city council’s key highways schemes as part of a wider £500m investment drive to improve Liverpool’s roads.

Councillor James Noakes, cabinet member for Highways, said: “I’m delighted to see the Ten Streets district is being connected to our citybike network and am grateful to the owners of the Titanic Hotel for agreeing to host this new station.

“There is a growing number of emerging busi-

Blues staff take flight to new home in Liver Building EVERTON Football Club has relocated its headquarters from Goodison Park into new stateof-the-art facilities at the Royal Liver Building.

Around 160 staff members from the Club’s Finance, People Services, Marketing and Media and Communications teams have moved into the refurbished 28,000 sq. ft. office space located on the seventh floor of the Grade I listed Liverpool city landmark.

This historic relocation from Goodison Park, the club’s headquarters for 126 years, sees Everton’s new base overlook Bramley Moore Dock, the proposed site for their new stadium development.

Professor Denise Barrett-Baxendale, chief executive officer at Everton, said: “As a football club and heritage institution, we contribute a lot to the rich tapestry of the city’s business community. Our relocation to the Royal Liver Building brings us into the heart of our commercial district which will be a big benefit to the club and our staff.

“As the club has grown, we have had Everton staff based across a number of sites across our Goodison campus. A couple of years ago I made a promise to colleagues that we would be housed under one roof in an environment that matched their ambition and we are absolutely delighted to be delivering on that promise with this worldclass facility in one of the city’s most iconic buildings.

“I have ensured our new home in the Royal Liver Building retains the spirit of Goodison Park, taking with us an ‘Everton essence’. We have tried to capture the feel of the club in our décor, subtly paying tribute to some of the stadium’s famous architecture. This is an example of the care, consideration and respect that will be evident in our new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock.”

The club will maintain a day-to-day presence at Goodison Park as well as the areas surrounding the stadium. Fan Centre staff will be onsite to handle ticket sales and supporter enquiries from the ticket windows on Goodison Road and the Park End box office.

Everton’s Stadium Operations will also be based

Police funding available to Northern Rail services support community groups on Sunday were cut as COMMUNITY groups from Southport and Formby which work to divert young people away from crime and anti-social behaviour are being invited to bid for grants.

The money, from Merseyside Police Commissioner Jane Kennedy's Police Property Act Fund (PPA), will be offered to groups who are running events during the autumn half-term.

The PPA fund is made up of money raised from the sale of unclaimed stolen goods or property recovered by the police to be used for good causes.

It is the ninth time the Commissioner has encouraged community organisations, charities and groups to apply for a cash boost of up to £5,000 for grassroots initiatives which are working to help young people to make the right choices.

A total of £45,000 is available from the fund for

one-off grants for organisations which are committed to improving community safety, reducing crime or supporting victims.

The Police Commissioner has already awarded nearly £333,000 through the PPA to organisations that are making a difference in their communities. Since July 2015, the fund has been used to concentrate on youth engagement initiatives.

The PPA fund is administered by the Community Foundation for Merseyside, (CFM) on behalf of the Commissioner. CFM holds funds from individuals and organisations as donors who wish to support deserving causes in Merseyside.”

All applications must be submitted online via the Community Foundation for Merseyside by 5pm on Monday, September 24. Visit the website www.cfmerseyside.org.uk/funds/police-property-act-fundto apply.

drivers ‘not available’ Report by Henry James MANY Northern Rail services were cancelled on Sunday after staff “made themselves unavailable to work” although the rail workers’ union RMT claimed the company was blaming employees to “cover up” a staff shortage.

A spokesman for Northern said it had enough drivers to operate the service in “normal circumstances.”

This summer Northern Rail has been the subject of criticism after it cut more than 9,000 rail services after timetable changes.

A total of 75% of these cancelled services were reinstated last week but this was the second Sunday in a row that services were cut.

All Liverpool to Manchester Airport services were cancelled although passengers were still able to travel between Liverpool and Manchester using Northern services or East Midlands Trains.

Trans Pennine Express services were available between Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Airport.

The company operated one service per hour between Liverpool Lime Street and Wigan North Western while half the Wigan to Liverpool trains were cancelled.

A spokesman for Northern, said: “Unfortunately we had to cancel at least 80 services across our network.

“Some Northern staff made themselves unavailable for work on Sunday.”

RMT general secretary Mick Cash said: “It is outrageous for Northern to try and lump the blame for the crew shortages that led to widespread cancellations yesterday on their workforce.

“It is a scam to try and cover up the fact that they simply don't hire enough workers to fill their rosters.

Fresh appeal 13 years after mum was shot dead Report by Tom Martin A FRESH appeal has been launched 13 years after mum-of-three Lucy Hargreaves was brutally murdered in her Walton home.

Lucy was just 22 years old when she was shot dead by three men who broke into her house in 2005, with police describing it as “one of the most brutal crimes we have ever seen on Merseyside.”

In the early hours of August 3, three men burst into Lucy’s home, on Lambourne Road, and shot her as she lay on the couch downstairs, as her partner and two-year-old daughter were asleep upstairs.

Detective Chief Inspector, Mark Baker said: “Lucy ’s murder remains one of the most brutal crimes we have ever seen on Merseyside. That night, after Lucy was shot, the offender poured petrol around the living room and hallway, before setting fire to the house.

“We believe the offenders would have been in no doubt they were killing a young woman. Their callous actions would have claimed the lives of two more people that night had Gary, her partner, not escaped the flames by jumping with his daughter.

“We are continually determined to bring Lucy Hargreaves’ killers to justice and are appealing to anyone with information to come forward. Lucy was an innocent victim and this year she should be celebrating her 35th birthday with her family instead they have been robbed of a loving mother and daughter.

“I know over the years people move away and loyalties change and I would call on those people to now come forward with the information they have or speak to Crimestoppers anonymously.

“I'd like to reassure them that there are special measures that can be put in place to protect witnesses in serious cases such as this. Someone, somewhere must have information which can help the investigation and bring some kind of closure to Lucy ’s family.”

As part of the investigation detectives still want to trace Kevin Parle as they believe he could have information which could assist with their enquiries.

It is thought that Parle, now 38 years old, may be living abroad and there is a European arrest warrant out for his arrest in relation to the death of 16 year-old Liam Kelly who was murdered in Dingle in June 2004.

Parle is described as white, 6ft 5in tall with a

broad build. He has blue eyes, ginger hair and a 1” scar on the left side of his head. A number of images of what Kevin Parle may look like now have been produced.

Officers are also continuing their appeal for any information about a Gold Lexus registration NAD499.

Writer pens first published novel A BOOTLE writer who has penned two poetry books has found success in publishing his first novel.

Ian Hall, 47, is the proud author of The Death of Poetry, which is a crime thriller set on the island of Malta.

But it's not Ian's first published works, having previously written two poetry books in 2016 - Black Book and Tales From The Adanac House – with a third on the way.

He said: “It is a great read, according to those who have read it! But I am nervous. It has taken me 30 years to come up with the right story, and even if it is my only one, I am pleased to have finally whispered back to the dark and the negative thoughts that have surrounded me, that I succeeded in my action.”

Ian grew up in Birmingham and Bicester before working in various occupations and travelling across America and

Victoria Lyon, who has worked at the Bootle college for 14 years, is on the shortlist for Floristry Tutor of the Year at the annual British Florist Association awards in October.

Victoria was nominated by current students at Hugh Baird College for her passion and enthusiasm for teaching floristry and the support she offers them.

The British Florist Association is the official voice of the UK floristry industry and the only trade organisation in the industry to be formally recognised as such, meaning that the annual awards are truly representative of the cream of the industry.

The awards are designated via online public voting, with the winner of the Floristry Tutor of the Year award being the nominee, of which there are 23, with the most votes by the deadline of September 10.

Victoria, who gained her floral design qualifications with Hugh Baird College, has helped hundreds of florists start their careers in the industry and has been involved with winning awards at numerous national and European competitions including; RHS Chelsea Flower Show, Southport Flower Show and FleurEx. Victoria said: “I’m incredibly honoured to be nominated, it was a real surprise! I’m very lucky to have a job that I love, I enjoy teaching and sharing my skills with our students and seeing them progress into the industry.”

“I want to thank all of my students for nominating me for this award, I’m so delighted.”

Maria Stevens, assistant director at Hugh Baird College, said: “Victoria’s nomination is recognition of the hard work and commitment she invests in each and every one of our budding florists. The whole college is thrilled, and we are hoping our local community will support her by casting their vote online.”

Victoria Lyon

The college’s Floral Design team have also been nominated for ‘Training Provider of the Year’. The team are one of only 25 providers in the UK to be shortlisted for the award.

Report by Danielle Thompson A FORMER Netherton pupil accused of travelling to Syria to fight against the so-called Islamic State is set to face trial in November.

Aidan James, 27, from Formby, is charged with one count of preparing for acts of terrorism and two counts of attendance at a place used for terrorist training.

A three-week trial has now been confirmed for November 19 after a hearing was held at London's Old Bailey.

This follows a pre-trial hearing on October 5.

The Champion revealed in February that the father-of-one, who went to schools in Netherton and Formby, travelled to Syria to fight ISIS and had been charged with three terror offences upon his return to the UK. The former Dale Acre Primary School and Formby High School pupil had been fighting alongside the YPG Kurdish militia and describes himself as a ‘revolutionary freedom fighter.’

The YPG is considered a terrorist organisation by the Turkish government but its fighters have received backing from the West.

Following his arrest at Liverpool John Lennon Airport, Mr James, from Formby, appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Friday, February

Aidan James

16, charged with one count of the preparation of acts of terrorism and two counts of attendance at a place used for terrorist training.

The court heard that he left the UK on August 26, 2017, travelling to Iraq via Jordan before later travelling to Syria.

He has since spoken publicly about his intentions to fight ISIS. He was arrested at Liverpool Airport on Wednesday, February 14 and remanded in custody.

The dad-of-one has previously

spoken to the media about his desire to fight terrorists in ISIS to protect everyone from the threat that they pose internationally – and cited the atrocities in London, Manchester and Paris as turning points for him.

He has previously said that he was willing to die to protect innocents in the Middle East and in the UK- and that he studied the efforts to establish an autonomous Kurdistan before joining the conflict.

The YPG supports the creation of an autonomous Kurdish region.

Huge housing and supermarket plan edges closer Report by Tom Martin IT'S been four years since plans were unveiled to build 119 houses, 72 apartments and a supermarket in Bootle – but it appears the proposal is edging closer to becoming a reality.

Last week, Sefton Council approved an ‘outline planning application’ from Wincham Investments to carry out the huge development at 503-509 Hawthorne Road, which is land previously owned by bus firm Arriva.

An outline plan means the applicant is “seeking only to establish the principle of the development on the site” before a full planning application is submitted at a later date.

Because the local authority has given this preliminary proposal a green light, it will give Wincham Investment encouragement that their idea will be given a final approval at a future Planning Committee meeting.

The plan is to build a mix of residential homes and apartment blocks, as well as a 2,323sq ft shop and a 100 space car park.

The land, which used to be an Arriva bus depot, has been left largely empty in recent years, attracting fly-tipping and prompting the council to describe it as “unsightly ”.

A report published last week by the council states: “The proposed development would see the redevelopment of an unsightly industrial site with a mixed use development comprising 119 houses and a supermarket.

“The current application has been long standing.

Originally submitted in September 2014, it has been subject to various discussions and negotiations. More recently, the applicant has amended the scheme to incorporate a direct access into the residential element of the development from Barnton Close, maintaining the access to the supermarket off Hawthorne Road.

“This is an outline application with all matters other than access reserved for future consideration.

A plan for the site

The entrance to the site

At this stage the applicant is seeking only to establish the principle of the development on the site and the acceptability of the access arrangements.

“Matters such as appearance, landscaping, layout and scale would be submitted for consideration and brought before the Planning Committee in a future application, should this application be approved.”

Police search for moped riders after shooting

Report by Tom Martin THEY say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and pupils from Everton will be tucking into some tasty food after their early morning club was given a cash boost.

Youngsters from Whitefield Primary School have benefited from a £28,402 fund from the West Lancashire Freemasons, which will be dished out to six schools across the North West.

To help celebrate, children invited members of the Freemasons to their ‘Magic Breakfast’ at the end of term.

The visitors enjoyed delicious ‘magic’ bagels and a chat with children who told them how they love seeing their friends at breakfast club and how eating a healthy breakfast helps them to concentrate in their morning lessons and gives them the energy they need until lunchtime.

The Magic Breakfast project provides nutritious breakfast food and expert support to over 470 schools in disadvantaged areas of the UK to ensure that hunger in these schools is not a barrier to education.

The donation by West Lancashire Freemasons will ensure that more than 400 pupils in the North West will get a healthy Magic Breakfast every school day for a year.

It comes through the Masonic

Derek Parkinson of West Lancashire Freemasons talking with children at Whitefield Primary School's Magic Breakfast club

Charitable Foundation, which is funded by Freemasons, their families and friends, from across England and Wales.

Joan Roskell, Breakfast Club coordinator at Whitefield Primary School, said: “It’s a fantastic, happy start to the day and a real social time for children of all ages. The whole school has access to breakfast which means that no child is hungry when entering the classroom. All the teachers have noticed a hugely positive change in both the behaviour and concentration of the children since having the support of Magic Breakfast.”

Derek Parkinson, from West Lancashire Freemasons, said:

“I’m very pleased we were able to help Magic Breakfast. Education is a priceless opportunity for children, giving them the tools they need to succeed in life. Magic Breakfast helps them to take full advantage of it.”

Alex Cunningham, chief executive of Magic Breakfast, said: “A big thank you to West Lancashire Freemasons for their very generous grant of £28,402.

This will make a significant and positive difference to the lives of over 400 children in the region who will start their school day with a healthy breakfast inside them and the educational advantage that comes with being settled and focused in class”.

Firefighters tackle dock blaze FIREFIGHTERS battled a blaze at a berthed ship in Bootle dock.

The fire started on the merchant vessel, which was at West Canada Dock, in one hold of the five on board and Merseyside Fire and Rescue sent eight fire engines to help with the efforts.

It happened at around 6.30pm on Monday, August 6. Thankfully there were no injuries.

A spokesperson said: “The ship was a merchant vessel with a cargo of scrap metal. The fire involved one hold of five and scrap was removed by crane and damped down on the dockside.

“No persons were involved and there were no casualties. Tugs and dockside fire appliances cooled the ship to prevent spread to other holds and fuel tanks.”

Carra turns interviewer at ex-soldier’s book launch Report by Tom Martin LIVERPOOL legend Jamie Carragher took on the role of interviewer as he found out more about former Royal Marine Andy Grant's new autobiography.

An event was held in Waterstones book store, in the city centre, last week when the former Reds defender asked Andy about his book, You'll Never Walk.

Andy, 30, who like Carragher is from Bootle, penned the book to tell the story of his traumatic experience of losing his leg after a horrific bomb blast in Afghanistan in 2009.

The highs and lows in the book detail Andy’s battle to physically recover from his injuries, to his determination and fight back and to become a world record holder in 2016 when he became the fastest ‘below-the-knee amputee’ to run a 10,000m race. During the question and answer session with Carragher, Andy Andy Grant and Jamie Carragher chatting at Waterstones about the book revealed how he used to Carragher said after the event: “It was an knock at the footballer's door to ask for his pleading with her to get me an autograph from her son! Safe to say I never dreamed honour to host Andy's book signing and talk autograph!

Andy said: “I’ll always remember being 12, that at 30 I would be able to call on a mate about his experiences in Afghanistan and how knocking at Jamie Carragher’s mum’s house, and have him host a night of talking about he overcame the loss of his leg to break a 10k World Record!” my autobiography”.

Firwood Timber opens new Maghull store the heritage of the site whilst bringing much needed local jobs and services to the area. Our Formby branch is now a unique drive through builders merchants, an order and collect service which is proving be to a triumphant success. This brand new ‘drive through’ concept in was an idea conceived by our Managing Director, Jane.

VISITORS flocked to the opening of a family-run timber firm’s new store in Maghull. Firwood Timber & Plywood Company Ltd’s new store opened last week on the former site of the Red Lion Garage site on Liverpool Road North, close to Central Square.

A bright yellow ribbon was cut to mark the store’s official opening on Tuesday 31st July, by long standing employee Bobby Dawber, which was attended by shoppers as well as members of the team of contractors who built it.

“The timber importing business; which still forms a significant part of the civil sales business today together with 13 builders merchants across the North West of England makes up the company’s main services. Our national civil and construction industry business now offers daily deliveries covering the whole of the UK, using our own reliable well maintained fleet, guaranteeing our customer promise of ‘On Time! High Quality!

Within Budget!’

Established more than four decades ago, the business, which already has a number of branches across the North West, is headed up by chairman and founder Peter Booth and his daughter Jane, the Managing Director.

He explains: “Our story begins in 1975, when my business idea became a reality, to import high quality timber from around the world to supply to local and national civil engineering companies.

“In the early 1980s, following our success in the timber importing business, the company expanded opening its first

builders merchants in Burscough. Still extremely successful and one of our busiest merchants, Burscough has become a local landmark with its huge yellow hangar. With our winning formula of great products and service, Firwood expanded at a rate of knots, opening further branches in Southport and Westhoughton.

“The new store is a much-needed asset to the town with the builders merchants and an extensive selection of products available in the store. As well as catering for the trade, Firwood cannot wait to welcome the general public through the door, with an extensive range of quality products they are sure to cater for all your DIY needs without you having to travel out of the area.”

“In the early 1990s we continued our drive to bring successful branches to the North West. We acquired a very popular local business in Lowes Forbes along with their three branches, two in Blackpool and one in Preston. Through the 1990s we continued opening branches in Swinton, Prestwich, Moreton and Crosby.

“In 2006 we took over the Upholland Branch from the renowned Holland’s of Upholland which again fitted our successful small family business ethos. The recent members of the Firwood builders merchant family is our Formby and St Helens branches. Having acquired the oldest established garage in Lancashire we really had a desire to pay tribute to

Charity wants to give away its stage props to theatre groups A CHARITY in Crosby which puts on theatre performances wants to give away a large collection of its stage props.

The charity called In Another Place found out they have to down-size their storage facility, meaning they can no longer keep as much stock.

They say some of the items will be up for sale, but others will be free with donations appreciated.

They are now appealing for local theatre groups to come and take a look at their props to see if they would like to take them on.

A spokesperson for In Another Place said: “We are a small charity with big ideas and even bigger props and we are looking to pass these on to anyone who can make use of them or would just like to add something quirky to their home.

“In Another Place is an inclusive, local charity who has put on several largescale productions in St George’s Hall in Liverpool that include The Narnia Experience and the award winning Alice Experience.

“We will be doing our final big production of The Alice Experience in February 2019 and hope to welcome more than 15,000 visitors.

“Dues to circumstances beyond our control, our current storage facility is no longer available and unfortunately, we haven’t been able to find a venue big

In Another Place members with some of the props.

enough to store everything.

“Therefore, we have just a few days to get rid of many of our props and set and we would much prefer to see them used and loved rather than in a skip.”

Some of the items they have up for grabs include timber of all sizes, fur coats, Narnia statues, human sized fabric puppets, furniture and much more. They

will be holding an event on Tuesday, August 14 from 11am-1pm at St Andrew ’s Church, in Bootle, for anyone interested in taking a look at the props.

The charity say they are not charging for most items, but would welcome donations. Any enquiries before Tuesday to 0151 924 4468 or admin@inanotherplace.com

Shipping firm is set to boost its freight capacity SHIPPING firm Stenna Line will deploy a much larger ship to boost its freight capacity to help meet a growing demand.

The company will send the 3,000 lane metre Stena Forerunner on the Liverpool - Belfast route this month to increase weekly freight capacity on the service by almost 10%.

Stena Line will then replace it with a similar ship early in 2019 and the Stena Forerunner will return to service in the North Sea. Stena Line’s chief executive Niclas Mårtensson said: “Demand for freight capacity between Liverpool and Belfast continues to increase.

“Stena Line will continue to operate seven vessels on its three

routes to and from Belfast serving Liverpool, Heysham and Cairnryan and the introduction of the Stena Forerunner will provide us with greater capacity and flexibility to service market demand.

Paul Grant, Stena Line trade director added: “This latest investment by Stena Line yet again highlights our commitment to the freight market. This year we’re experiencing strong growth of 6% on our Liverpool – Belfast route.

“Future plans for the introduction of two new build ferries on this service during spring 2020 and early 2021, combine to demonstrate a significant longterm commitment to the region by Stena Line.”

No alternative As a dog owner, I agree they Council did to Rimrose Road should be kept under control nothing about bad neighbours I may be swimming against the flow here, but I don’t think there is any other viable alternative to the Rimrose Valley road proposal.

The docks’ lorry traffic has to be cut.

For too long the residents of Dunningsbridge Road have had to put up with the noise and pollution.

Also, past letters from Rimrose Valley residents to the Champion, have referred to Rimrose valley as ‘a dogs’ toilet, a thieves’ highway, and a off road bikers racetrack.’

Will it really be missed?

John Seymour, Crosby

As someone with a dog, I believe that I should be able to walk her in the park, on the beach or any other public space.

However, I quite understand someone who is not a ‘dog person’ finding out of control dogs a nuisance.

Twice in the last couple of days, I have been walking my (on the lead) dog near the beach when other dogs have come charging towards us from the other side of the field.

On Monday, two chihuahuas charged over to us barking and ran in a circle around my dog, making her stressed to the point that if I had not grabbed her collar, she would have snapped at them, possibly causing them some serious damage, or worse.

The lady who was walking them ran over and grabbed their leads, and apologised but her other

half just looked at me and said “they only bark but don’t bite.”

The point that I had a stressed dog seems to have been missed.

And obviously if one of their dogs had been hurt, they would have held me responsible.

This morning another incident of an off lead dog charging towards us and worrying my dog.

There are far too many irresponsible dog owners who have no understanding of the implications of not having their dog under control.

I am struggling to find somewhere I can take my dog for a nice relaxed walk.

PICTURE of the week

I totally agree with the letter in the July 25 edition regarding Sefton Council and bad neighbours.

I spent the worst 18 months of my life in a flat with the neighbour from hell upstairs.

They didn’t actively do anything for me at all only asked me to keep diaries and the like.

In the end I left as I couldn’t take any more and went into private housing.

A friend of mine has suffered recently with a neighbour after living there quite happily for many years until a housing association put in someone much younger who just didn’t fit in and caused mayhem.

In the end she requested a move through illhealth and stress.

The perpetrators seem to get away with it time after time.

Furious, Seaforth,

You may be entitled to attendance allowance Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures show that the percentage of those aged 65 and over who receive attendance allowance fell by 22.3 per cent in the six years after the Coalition Government came to power in 2010.

Attendance Allowance is not-meanstested and is to help with disabilityrelated daily living costs.

It is available to those 65 or over who do not already receive personal independence payment (PIP) or disability living allowance (DLA).

Recipients do not have to spend the Allowance on personal care.

Thousands of elderly people who could be entitled to this extra tax free £200 a month do not make a claim, possibly due to the kind of public perception of being scroungers.

If you have ever wondered if you could be entitled to the Allowance now is the time to find out as Benefitanswers are offering a FREE check to see if you could qualify for this Allowance.

If you are OVER 65 and would like further information ring 03302234773 or email info@benefitanswers.co.uk

Concert screening Well done to volunteers and was so uplifting rangers for hard work on park

...but it attracts gangs and vandals

Thank you Plaza cinema for screening Andre Rieu’s Johann Straus Orchestra concert live from Maastricht on Saturday, July, 28.

What an epic experience! So uplifting.

It felt like an extended hand of the audience, without being there in person.

The immense pleasure it brought and the sense of belonging to humanity, often lost these days, was restored.

The positive energy oozing from the audience and sheer pleasure of enjoyment of the classics is certainly a right mix for any future projects.

Well done!

advice, and help with all the hard work that is necessary for the upkeep of this Park.

The Coronation Park bowlers greatly appreciate all the help they give in helping to maintain a happy environment.

Unfortunately we do still have some problems with vandalism in the evenings and as a consequence John has to make sure the courtyard is kept locked at night to keep it safe.

Well done to all the Volunteers and Rangers for making the Park such a happy experience for all.

Congratulations on the award of a Green Flag it is well deserved.

As a volunteer at Coronation Park it was nice to see it get a Green Flag award.

But. I took the grandchildren to the park one recent evening.

We went to the children’s play area, only to find a gang of teenagers having a picnic of sorts.

Not on the grass but on the hard standing area.

Following their picnic they left litter all over the floor. Polystyrene boxes, bottles, chips etc.

Then to work off the food they went for a game of football on, yes you guessed it, the bowling green.

One of my neighbours said years ago, the council should level that park and build houses on it.

I never understood that at the time but I do now.

Monika McKay, Waterloo

As a regular visitor to Coronation Park Crosby, I feel I must commend the Friends of Coronation Park and also the Rangers for all their invaluable hard work they have carried out in the park which is used by young and old alike.

The hedges are trimmed, fences painted and repaired, everywhere is made very inviting.

John and Frances Quirk work untiringly and are always willing to help with any and all enquiries made about this park.

Frances makes a lovely cup of coffee on coffee mornings, and extends a warm welcome to all.

The mind boggles that any visitor can have a negative approach to all the good work being done.

However I am sure Friends of The Park would welcome any constructive and genuine offers of

Barbary Macaque' by Paul Baker.

Chris Hands’ ‘Ruck’ image taken at Waterloo Rugby Club.

Snappers win awards for stunning pictures CROSBY Camera Club's 2018 competition closed with three different winners topping the three individual leagues.

Fighting it out across six different categories, the league kicked off in September last year and challenged members to tackle a range of different subjects, producing colour prints, monochrome prints and also digital images.

The subjects, which are voted on by club members at the end of season AGM, were Sport & Leisure; Nature; Triptychs; Street Photography, plus two ‘open’ competitions with no set subject.

In the Colour Print League Paul Baker pulled off a narrow win and in the Mono Print League Chris Hands took the honours.

Chris’ image of a ruck photographed at a Waterloo Rugby Club game was also awarded the Mono Print of the Year.

June Poston narrowly edged out Paul Baker to take the honours in the Digital Image League.

An award for the best performing new club

member was presented for the first time this year, the ‘Appleton Cup’, named in honour of the club's longest serving member, Margaret Appleton. It was won by Robert Richardson.

Other awards saw the Club Vase go to Paul Baker, the Audio-Visual Trophy go to Karen Redfern, the President's Award go to Steve Sefton and both the Colour Print and Digital Image of the Year go to June Poston.

Stephen Lang, president of Crosby Camera Club, said: “Congratulations to all the workers who've produced such a consistently high standard of photographs right through the season.

“Our new season kicks-off on September 5 and I hope to welcome some new faces bidding for the league titles when our competitions open once more.”

The subjects for next year's competitions are Minimalism; Wet; Architectural Detail; Landscapes and Cityscapes, plus two 'open' competitions.

Children show their love for Rimrose Valley in protest at road plan

Do you know of an event you would like us to cover? Contact the Champion on 01704 392400 or email editorial@champnews.com

Reg. Charity Number 1000698

Report by Tom Martin CHILDREN from two schools in south Sefton have taken part in a demonstration against plans to build a road through Rimrose Valley Country Park.

Pupils from Our Lady Star of the Sea and Rimrose Hope Primary Schools, both in Seaforth, came together for a ‘Hands Across the Valley’ event to form a huge heart shape in one of the park’s fields.

It made for a spectacular picture, which was captured by a drone, and they will use it to put pressure on Highways England to scrap plans to build a road through the park to link Switch Island and the docks.

Hope headteacher Lawrence Crilly said: “If the park was lost to make way for a road

it would be a massive loss to us. It’s a valued space.

“Culturally for the school it’s really important and we just see it as another barrier between communities, as well as a great loss of green space.

“Our children have made banners and started chants. They’ve written letters to the MP. They’re feeling strongly about it.

“These children wanted to come and make a protest. It’s important to them and it’s important to our families.”

A spokesperson for Our Lady Star of the Sea added: “This park should not be destroyed. It is so important for children as it gives them plenty of space to play and ride their bikes safely.”

Stuart Bennett, of the Save Rimrose Valley campaign team added: “This is a simple but effective way of showing how

much children love green space, a safe to play and discovering the wildlife and nature of Rimrose Valley.

“In so many ways it’s their future we are fighting for. For lots of children, Rimrose Valley is their route to and from school.

“The thought of them having to cross bridges and inhaling all of the fumes and damaging particles this road would churn out is just shocking.

“Rimrose Valley is surrounded by schools, nurseries and children’s centres.

“Why would any government agency choose to cause such damage to children’s health, purely on the grounds of cost?

“It is staggering. We call for Highways England to stop this process. They are condemning future generations of children to a bleak future. What is more important than a child’s health?”

After having gone through a rigorous professional assessment process.

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

SEFTON residents will be able to find out more about hundreds of volunteering opportunities across the region at a regular new event.

As part of Sefton Council’s 2018 Year of the Volunteer initiative, The Atkinson and Volunteer Centre Sefton are launching a monthly drop-in service to alert people to how rewarding volunteering can be.

The first event takes place at the Atkinson Library on Lord Street in Southport between 1.30pm and 4pm on Wednesday, August 15 and it will then run

every third Wednesday of the month, at the same time and venue.

Volunteer Centre Sefton which is part of Sefton CVS - has more than 40 years experience of helping local people to find the right volunteering roles, as well as offering advice to organisations who are looking to recruit volunteers.

Information on a wide range of opportunities will be available at the Southport drop-in event, from groups seeking greenfingered residents for gardening projects, to organisations looking for people who can support families in crisis or ex-offenders.

Rachael West, Sefton CVS cit-

izenship and volunteer worker said: “In an age where everything is going online, it’s good to know that there’s still a place you can go to talk to someone face to face about how you can give back to your community through volunteering, and there is an opportunity for everyone.

“We’re hoping for a very good turnout at this regular new event,” added Rachael. “Our message to all would-be volunteers is that communities across Sefton need your knowledge, skills and commitment.”

Teenager wins two medals for GB U18s rowing team

A TEENAGER selected for the Great Britain under 18 rowing team won two medals on her first appearance with the squad at the European Championships held in Cork, Ireland.

Georgia Shirley, 17, who attends St Mary ’s College in Crosby, won two bronze medals in the women’s single sculls at the Coupe de la Jeunesse.

This regatta involved rowers from 14 European countries taking to the water to battle it out over 13 events.

At the end of the three-day competition there was a double celebration for Georgia as Team GB also completed a hat-trick of overall team titles, adding to the silverware they won in Belgium last year and Poland in 2016.

Being selected for the British team is a dream come true for Georgia who is a member of the Royal Chester Rowing Club.

She has been rowing since the age of 13, and has trained incredibly hard in recent years to reach international standards.

Georgia, who is from Southport, said: “The event in Cork was fantastic - I was really excited to be part of the team, and to be representing my country for the first time.

“Training six times a week on top of my

Television is the best place to get close to polar bears AM I simply becoming a Grumpy Old Man - or do some niggles great and small upset others as well as myself?

I don’t know - and to be honest, I don’t really care - which probably make my irritations that much more valid, in a perverse sort of way.

Anyway, a couple of news stories from a few days ago managed to press the ‘grumpy ’ button.

First there was the lovely story of the tiger at Whipsnade Zoo (can you still call a female tiger a tigress by the way, after all it is shorter?) along with a charming photograph of the cubs at play outside for the first time.

Apparently mum, named Naya, and her mate Botzman were taking part in a European breeding programme for endangered species.

So far, so very charming.

And then the niggle had to be put in. Apparently, Naya and Botzman are Amur tigers.

Never heard of them? Neither have I. Apparently, until recently these splendid animals were what we always thought were Siberian tigers.

Who changed the name and for what reason (and whom did ‘they ’ ask anyway)? So far as I know, Siberian tigers never formed a part of the erstwhile British Empire, and I’ve never heard of one complaining that it should be called by an ethnic name.

It’s just another ‘right on’ piece of tomfoolery designed, I reckon, just to upset me and mar a really uplifting story.

If I were a tiger cub, I know which I would rather be called - Siberian any day of the week.

The second story though was far more upsetting, alike only in that it shows the folly of refusing to leave well enough alone.

A polar bear (how long before they get an Inuit name?) was shot dead in the Svalbard archipelago between mainland Norway and the North Pole, apparently after attacking a guard escorting tourists off a cruise ship.

Quite why this guard found it necessary to blast this animal in its own habitat was not made clear.

I would have thought that if these gawping tourists needed a guard he could better have been supplied with tranquilliser darts.

Now please don't misunderstand me. The guard received serious injuries and was ‘only doing his job’ for which I have no objection.

No, it is the sheer arrogance of people who seem to think it their right to interfere with wild creatures on their home ground.

The shot bear may have been protecting her cubs, or searching for food made increasingly illusive by the actions of humans.

By what right do folk with their cameras and armed guards think they should invade what's left of the polar bear’s habitat which we as a race are successfully trying to destroy?

If you really want to get close up and personal with a polar bear, by all means do so. Without an armed escort.

Polar bears are an endangered species because of us.

If you want to learn more about them, and see how they live in the wild, there are many good TV programmes by people who have the good sense (and equipment) to be able to film in safety - safety for them and for the bears.

They shoot them on film, not with high powered bullets.

But do you know what annoyed me most when I saw this tragic story? Inset with the photo of the dead bear was a picture of a sign deployed nearby.

It looks just like a normal road sign, triangular with a red border and a polar bear, white on a black background and a warning below.

Somehow, I found this to be truly disgusting.

‘Warning, Polar bears ahead, take a gun.’

Or something like that.

Probably the good folk of Svalbard are only too happy to see tourists descend from their cruise liners.

And after a good meal aboard, and the promise of another when they return, the tourists are no doubt looking forward to poking their noses into bear territory.

Trouble is, apparently the bears themselves see things somewhat differently - and end up being shot for their trouble.

Two fire engines have now had their liveries updated for the ‘Escape the Control’ campaign

Firefighters join forces with council against domestic abuse Report by Tom Martin FIREFIGHTERS have teamed up with Sefton Council to support a new campaign aimed at helping people spot the signs of controlling behaviour and domestic abuse.

Two fire engines from the service have had their liveries updated as part of the ‘Escape the Control’ campaign, including important messages and details on how people can find out more information. Taxis and buses in the area will also feature similar messages.

Controlling money, always criticising and being purposely isolated from friends and family are just some of the examples being highlighted as ‘coercive control’ in a new campaign on domestic abuse to be launched across Sefton from Monday,July 23.

‘Escape the Control’, which is being run jointly by

Knowsley and Sefton Councils, aims to help people understand how extreme controlling behaviour is Domestic Abuse and what signs to look out for, if concerned about friends or family.

Posters and leaflets explaining the signs to look out for will be available from next week in GP and health centres, leisure centres, dentists, hairdressers and many more everyday locations where victims and those worried about others can access them without having to go through official channels.

Group Manager Mark Thomas from Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service said: “Our communities are at the heart of everything that we do and when we can have a positive impact to make our communities safer then we will do so.

“Like our partners, we recognise that domestic violence in all its forms is unacceptable.

“We are very happy to support this campaign through branding of our fire appliances and raising awareness of this.”

We urgently need good quality furniture to sell in our charity shops.

INSTANT DECISION

SEFTON Council has revealed plans to help migrant schoolchildren get a better start at early years education.

In May the local authority announced that it was successful in securing a £244,000 grant to help Sefton schools increase their levels of educational support to migrant children who come to live in the area.

Work has now begun on a two year English Language Support project which will be rolled out to primary schools across the borough.

As part of the project, migrant schoolchildren who are learning English as an additional language will now have access to weekly support sessions, while their families will receive access to linguistic lending libraries.

Teachers and support staff in primary schools across Sefton are also undergoing additional training to help them further improve their skills to support new migrant children who move to the borough.

Cllr Trish Hardy, Sefton Council's Cabinet Member for Communities and Housing, said: “The legacy of this amazing project will leave schools across Sefton with specially trained staff, a sustainable English Language network and a bank of key resources for staff to build upon in years to come.

“Not only will this project help support migrant children in learning English, but it will also foster an inclusive ethos which our schools pride themselves in, welcoming every-

one as equal, valued members of the community.

“Sefton has a proven track record of being an incredibly welcoming borough for all and this project will further our efforts in making sure children from all backgrounds have the best start in life, learning equally with their friends and peers.”

‘House full’ signs go up for Wizard of Oz Report by Tom Martin TALENTED members of a unique drama company in Bootle scored another big hit with their latest production of a classic American musical fantasy film recently.

The ‘house full’ signs went up outside the auditorium at Bootle’s SPACE arts centre for the threenight run of the Wizard of Oz, which received standing ovations each evening.

The show was presented by a large cast of around 50 performers from across Sefton who belong to the New Centre Stage drama group, run by adult social care provider New Directions.

Members of the company include older Sefton residents and other adults with disabilities, learning difficulties and mental health support needs.

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer ’s the Wizard of Oz is widely considered to be one of the greatest films in cinema history, and New Centre Stage’s take on the story featured a full line-up of all its most popular characters.

In addition, the production replicated the movie’s transition from the black-and-white Kansas early on, to a riot of colour in the later scenes, when Dorothy is transported to Munchkinland in the Land of Oz. The show is the latest in a series of successful New Centre Stage productions which have included Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Grease, Scrooge and Mamma Mia. It was directed by New Centre Stage Co-ordinator

Vicky Bennett with the support of her colleagues Denise Airey, Veronica Morrison and Pam Pickford.

Vicky said: “The Wizard of Oz was another outstanding success for the members of our group who were absolutely delighted at the enthusiastic response they received from our audiences.

“The show was the result of many weeks of hard work by the cast, and I am extremely proud of both the commitment and the talent of each and every one of them.

“Obviously presenting such a big production is a challenge, but it’s very rewarding to see the skills and confidence of the performers increase as the weeks of rehearsal go by, and also the real pleasure they get from being involved.”

SOMETIMES the best places to go looking for cars aren’t the bustling shows taking place at stately homes most weekends – it’s the makeshift car parks next to them.

I was at one last Sunday and in the vast field given over to cars brought along by visitors I spotted a Jaguar XK150, a Ford Capri 3000XL, a Citroen CX GTI and a particularly well restored Hillman Super Minx. All of which were, lovely, of course, but the car I really wanted to see was a silver, 18-reg Toyota Avensis 2.0 D-4D Tourer.

Largely because it’s the car I’d been lent for the weekend, and I needed to get home again.

Anyone who’s been to a big car show in something that isn’t a Triumph TR4 will have encountered this problem.

After crawling through the grounds of a palatial country pile you’re directed into a nondescript field, where some volunteers – who always seem to be children drafted in from a local Scout group – beckon you into neatly organised rows of cars that aren’t terribly interesting.

Normally, if you park up somewhere you’ll make a mental note of where you are – but because I’m a car nut with a short attention span my mind immediately zooms to what’s on the other side of the show entry gate, and I forget.

Which is great right up to the moment you emerge seven hours later and have to find your mid-sized family hatchback in a vast, nondes-

cript field filled from front to back with midsized family hatchbacks.

If you’re lucky you might have remembered that you parked two rows away from a bloke in a Ferrari and that you can use his slightly dusty-looking F430 as a sort of homing beacon, but normally there’s a horrible moment when you realise you might never see your car again.

I once spent two hours wandering around the peripheries of Goodwood trying to find a borrowed Skoda Fabia, which has six vast car parks given over to people who all seem to drive Skoda Fabias.

You might even end up doing the thing I do, which is to grab your car’s keyfob and point it in just about every direction imaginable, hoping that somewhere in the distance you might see the reassuring flash of indicators of a car that’s unlocking itself.

It makes you look like someone who’s pulling shapes at an early ‘90s rave night, but it does on the odd occasion reunite you with your wheels.

I reckon the solution is for cars to be equipped with distress flares that can be activated remotely from the keyfob – especially for ones as visually anonymous as the current Avensis D-4D Tourer.

As long as the car show isn’t held in a multistorey car park this would work a treat, and you’d only have to look up to see in an instant where you’ve parked.

Or just turn up in something interesting, of course. I bet the bloke in the XK150 doesn’t have this problem…

David Simister is the editor of Classic Car Weekly

Volvo now offering turbocharged engine VOLVO is now offering a turbocharged 250bhp engine – known as the T5 – in three of its larger models.

The two-litre petrol unit is now available in the S90 saloon, V90 estate and the

XC90 off-roader.

Volvo claims it’ll crack 60mph in 6.8 seconds in the S90, and is capable of a combined 42mpg.

The saloon is the cheapest of the trio, with the prices start-

ing at £41,120.

Go to www.volvocars.co.uk to find out more about all of the models that they have for sale now as well as the ones due to go on sale in the autumn.

worth sent back half the home side at a cost of only 75, Bootle appeared to have the match in the palm of their hands, but Neil Cross and Jack Leckey refused to throw in the towel with a gutsy seventh wicket stand of 63.

Bootle now have three home matches in four days, starting tomorrow (Thursday 6pm) with an Echo Cup semi-final against Formby, continuing with Saturday’s Premier League visit of Lytham and ending on Sunday with the delayed Ray Digman Trophy semifinal against Northern.

New faces on show for Bucks have goalkeeper to thank new season at Maghull for taking a point from opener MAGHULL open their 2018/2019 season next Saturday when Neston Nomads are the visitors to Old Hall Field for a West Cheshire League Division One contest.

Manager Joe Burns has a few new faces in his line-up this year which is led by new captain Elliott Toner and sees the return of former players Wayne Smith, David Thomson and Ben Sumner to the club.

Honours were even when the two sides met last term with Maghull winning the corresponding fixture 3-1 but lost on their opponent’s ground by the odd

goal in three.

Maghull Reserves will have a distinctly youthful look about it for the new campaign under the new managership of former striker Mike Cummins.

He has tried to get a blend of experience and youth retaining most of last season’s squad but also introducing a handful of the club’s youth team squad who have looked promising in pre season matches.

They start their Second Division fixtures with a trip to Wallasey where they face Ashville Reserves. Both matches kick off at 3pm.

Bootle 0 Irlam 0 BOOTLE had goalkeeper Ryan Jones to thank for an opening day point against Irlam, writes Connor O’Neill.

Jones produced a string of fine second-half saves to ensure his side picked up a point in their Hallmark Security North West Counties League opener.

Phil Stafford's side came into the game on the back of an unbeaten pre-season campaign, but the Bucks struggled to get going with the pace of their play a lot slower than usual.

The games first chance fell the way of the visitors when Daniel Eyres cut inside

and let fly with a right-footed curling effort that rattled off the far post.

As the half went on, Bootle began to grow into the game and after Lee White in the Irlam goal denied Carl Peers - the goalkeeper had to be on alert again to deny the Bucks midfielder.

A long ball over the top seemed to get stuck in the grass with Peers, at full stretch, seeing his goal-bound effort well blocked by the onrushing White.

Bootle’s best chance of the second half fell the way of Andrew Gillespie. Peers raced onto Liam Loughlin's ball over the top before pulling the ball back to Gillespie who fired over from closerange.

But from there, Bootle had goalkeeper

Jones to thank.

First, he denied Matthew Boland before Jones pushed over Connor Martin’s effort from distance.

The Bucks stopper then had to be on alert to block Marcus Perry's effort, after the substitute cut in from the left.

With five minutes remaining Jones produced a quite stunning save to deny Martin and Irlam all three points.

Picking up a loose ball in the middle of the park, the Irlam midfielder ghosted past two Bootle players before letting fly with a swirling effort that looked to be heading to the top corner.

But Jones, at full stretch, managed to move his feet across the goal and push the ball over the bar.
