Court told Netherton man ran ‘massive commercial enterprise’ selling Shar-Peis and French Bulldogs Report by Kenny Parker AN unlicensed dog breeder from Netherton made nearly £60,000 from illegally breeding and selling puppies, a court was told.

Lawrence Moran, 31, of Chapel Lane, appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court last Friday (August 16) after previously pleading guilty to breeding dogs without a licence and to breaching an enforcement notice issued by Sefton Council The latter charge stated that he had failed to take steps listed in a notice used in August 2015 to permanently reduce the number of dogs and puppies kept on his premises to no more than six in total.

Sefton Council told the court that 44 dogs, including several puppies, were found at his home address in December 2018. Further investigations by the authority ’s Trading Standards team uncovered that he had also been responsible for at least 17 litters and 49 puppies in

2018, including Shar-Peis and French Bulldogs.

The court heard that Moran was selling Shar-Pei puppies for an average of £2,250 and French bulldog puppies for an aver-

age of £800. He was said to have made £59,500 from the trade.

Moran also pleaded guilty to a separate charge of breeding dogs without a licence made against his company LKLM Group UK Ltd. He was sentenced to 120 hours unpaid community work, fined £285, and ordered to pay costs of £4,700.

Sefton Council has welcomed the sentencing of Moran.

Following the court hearing, Councillor Paulette Lappin, Sefton Council’s Cabinet Member for Regulation & Compliance, said: “This is a fantastic result following months of hard work by our Trading Standards team.

“We had previously warned the defendant about unlicensed breeding following allegations by concerned members of the public however our concerns continued and a warrant was issued.

“What our team uncovered was a dog breeding enterprise on a massive commercial scale.

YMCA volunteers thank community for support after ‘horrendous’ break-in at site VOLUNTEERS from Bootle YMCA who are back on their feet after a “horrendous” burglary in May want to thank the community for their support by inviting them for a cup of tea!

The Park Street venue will open its doors on Thursday, September 5 from 7pm so locals can visit for a social gathering where they can get a tour of the building and enjoy some light refreshments.

Barbara Rouse, who helps run Bootle YMCA, wanted to make the gesture after more than £1,500 was raised to help pay for repair work after the building was ransacked in May. The Champion reported how thieves broke into the YMCA on Sunday, May 5,

Bootle YMCA

causing extensive damage to doors and locks before stealing bottles of alcohol and tools.

A fundraising page set-up by local resident Michael Brennan helped raise the money, and local businesses were also quick to offer their services.

Barbara said: “The damage alone to doors, cupboards and

locks was horrendous, but thanks go to our friends in Howdens Aintree, who donated doors and casings, and our new friends at Laing O’Rourke who fitted them and provided external doors and locks.

“What would we have done without such fantastic help!

“The JustGiving page reached a total of £1,552 with dona-

tions from friends and our local community, thanks to Mike Brennan.

“A lot of people remembered going to the YMCA building in Park Street, when it was Christ Church School, and as a youth club after 1976 when it was donated to the YMCA and the young people of Bootle by the Earl of Derby.

“I said when we were sorted, I would say thank you for all your support, and give anyone the opportunity to visit our building. So, if anyone is free on Thursday, September 5 from 7pm I would like you to visit us, have some refreshments and a soft drink or tea and coffee and have a walk around and renew old memories.”

Police in Marian Square last week

Police out in force to reassure residents after spate of attacks POLICE put on a united front in Marian Square, Netheron, last week in an effort to reassure the community following weeks of ongoing gang warfare.

Officers arrived at the shopping square on Wednesday, August 14 to patrol the area and search open land and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal in the hope of seizing weapons.

There has been a spate of violent incidents in south Sefton in the past few months involving knife attacks and shootings.

A man was shot in the leg after gunshots were fired at a house in Litherland and a teenage boy was seriously injured after he was stabbed with a knife in North Park, Bootle.

The Champion reported last week how police are focussing on ‘competing crime groups’ in south Sefton. Merseyside Police say they will continue to crackdown on gang members through their ongoing Operation Target, and Netherton and Bootle

£500k revamp of GP practice is just what the doctor ordered!

Pub staff take on tax office workers in charity match A CHARITY football match between pub staff and tax office employees will raise money for a children’s hospice.

Staff from the Cat & Fiddle will face off against tax office workers from St Martin’s House with all the proceeds going to Zoe’s Place.

The match will be held this Sunday (August 25) at Litherland Sports Park at 1pm and locals are welcome to attend.

KidsFest event cancelled LAST weekend’s popular KidsFest event was called off by organisers due to poor weather conditions. The annual event, at Stanley Park, is organised by the James Bulger Memorial Trust to honour the life of the murdered toddler and raise money for charity.

Community sentence for illegal dog breeder

Report by Tom Martin A GP practice in Bootle which has benefitted from a £500,000 makeover, has been given the seal of approval by delighted patients and staff.

North Park Health Centre, on Knowsley Road, has benefitted from a wide-scale revamp with all areas of the practice given renovations as well as the addition of minor surgery facilities.

An opening day was held on Wednesday, August 14 when members of the public along with special guests, including Mayor of Sefton Cllr June Burns, were given a first look.

Also among the guests was 102-year-old Ron Manson, who has been going to North Park Health Centre since 1945 and is their oldest registered patient - Ron gave the half-a-million-pound refurbishment a big thumbs up!

Catherine Riley, manager at North Park Health Centre, said: “Our patients have been blown away by the changes. Before the work, the practice was very dark and dismal. Now we offer a bright and modern environment.

“You can see the difference on the faces of everyone who has seen the transformation. It also makes such a difference to those of us who work here; we enjoy coming to work even more than ever!

“I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the project manager Margy James, our architect Neil Hutchinson and the contractors Kroll Corlett who have done a brilliant job transforming our practice” The building was in need of comprehensive refurbishment, which the Care Quality Commission highlighted during its last inspection of the premises.

All areas of the practice have been touched by the renovations, from the clinical and patient waiting areas to additional minor surgery facilities. The practice is now more accessible and even the car park has been improved.

Eric Balki, TCG medical services director who runs the practice, said: “It is of great pleasure to me and our staff that we have seen the final stages of com-

are key areas of their focus. Superintendent Graeme Robson said: “We know there are a number of competing crime groups in south Sefton who have access to knives and guns and using violence to settle disputes and protect their illicit trade in drugs.

“Our primary job is to keep the communities safe, and these incidents have presented us with some serious challenges. But I believe we have risen to the challenge. People will have got used to seeing officers in their areas responding to those incidents.

“We have ramped up the pressure on those criminals with a number of arrests, warrants, days of action and gang injunctions.”

From page 1

“This kind of illegal operation makes it almost impossible to make sure animal welfare standards are met and often the well-being of puppies is put way behind profit.

“We will continue to act on any information we receive regarding illegal trading practices and we hope this case serves as a stark warning to others.”

Moran had been granted a 12-month conditional discharge in February 2018 for breaching an enforcement notice issued by Sefton Council in August 2016, which ordered him to remove a caravan, cease using his land for dog boarding, and reduce the number of dogs and puppies to no more than six in total. l To report an unlicensed breeder contact the Citizens Advice Consumer Helpline on 0345 040506.

plete transformation of North Park and making it now one of the best health centres in Liverpool. I could not be more proud of the team.”

The practice’s transformation was approved by NHS England, who worked with the surgery and NHS Property Services to make the refurbishment possible whilst patients continued to be seen and cared for.

Mark Lloyd, principal construction manager for NHS Property Services, said: “We are pleased to have delivered this much needed refurbishment project, which will benefit the staff and patients of North Park Health centre for many years to come. We

would like to thank the staff and patients for their patience during construction work and for a great collaborative achievement.”

David Scannell, head of Primary Care at NHS England - North West said: “NHS England is delighted that this substantial refurbishment has now been completed.

“The investment made into North Park will support the practice and the wider primary care network to improve on the excellent care offered to patients by the practice, with the potential now for a wider range of primary care services to be offered to the local community.”

Jessica Lam, who got A* A* A and will be studying Medicine at Hull York Medical School. said: “Studying my A-levels has been a real rollercoaster.

Ready for A Levels? from 22 august

Report by Tom Martin A REFUGEE who arrived in the UK two years ago when his home in Sudan was destroyed has been named Student of the Year at Hugh Baird College after he enrolled on an English course.

Mohammed Alnour was forced to live in different refugee camps after his region of Sudan was targeted by armed groups of the Janjaweed.

He then travelled more than 3,000 miles and arrived in Liverpool in 2017 with the hope of starting a new life and was accepted onto an English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) Entry 3 course at Hugh Baird.

He instantly impressed tutors with his English language ability and work ethic and after completing his first ESOL course, Mohammed progressed on to the ESOL Level 1 course and successfully completed exams in English speaking, listening and reading.

Mohammed’s efforts were recognised by the Bootle college in the annual Students of the Year awards ceremony where he was awarded the title of Hugh Baird College ESOL Student of the Year for his outstanding dedication to his course.

Enrolment starts Thursday August 22 king you don’t need to go far to get far george v www.kgv.ac.uk college

Mohammed said: “My journey to the UK was very long, difficult and dangerous. I travelled to Libya and then through Europe to the UK. I received my indefinite leave to remain in June 2017 and I have never looked back. I decided to start my new life in Liverpool and I have been working hard to improve my English ever since.

“My goal is to go to university and train to become a Construction Manager. I have really enjoyed studying at Hugh Baird College and I was over the moon to win the award for ESOL Student of the Year.”

On completion of his GSCEs, Mohammed hopes to enrol on the Level 3 BTEC Extended Diploma in Professional Construction and the Built Environment course. This course will give him the skills to fulfil his dream of working in the field of construction management.

Jennifer Wilson, Hugh Baird College ESOL lecturer, said: “Mohammed was the natural choice for the ESOL Student of the Year Award. He is an extremely polite, conscientious and diligent individual and always tries his best in class. He is also always there to help his classmates. He has overcome so much to get where he is today and we are confident that with his dedication he will achieve his goals.”

ANGRY Bootle residents have hit out at two separate plans to build a combined 43 houses in their area.

One Vision Housing (OVH) has penned letters to affected households to reveal plans to build 28 homes on land off Capricorn Way, which is the site of the former tower block Mersey House, and also another plan to build 15 houses off Chapel Terrace.

A public consultation event will take place today (Wednesday, August 21) at The Brunswick Community Centre between 4-7pm when members of the public are welcome to find out more information about the proposals and speak with representatives from OVH. It’s unclear on the finer details of both plans, such as the type of houses to be built or timescales of construction, as planning applications have not yet been submitted to the council as OVH gathers local feedback.

A letter sent by OVH and seen by the Champion states: “At this event, we welcome any concerns or queries you may have about the proposed development and you have the opportunity to discuss these with the project design team including OVH representatives and the architect. We have invited local councillors to the event who we hope will also be in attendance.”

Residents were quick to hit out at the plans last week, after claiming parking is already a problem in the area and more residents will only make it worse.

Others also want to see the land retained as open spaces, or alternatively use them for the construction of shops or community venues.

One resident said: “There is no parking around here as it is. Imagine the chaos right outside my front door.”

Residents invited to join police on patrol to beat gang crime ‘We cannot tackle this issue. Everyone needs to stand with us to help stop the violence’ Report by Tom Martin

MEMBERS of the public are being asked to join police on foot patrols and land searches as they continue to target gang crime in south Sefton.

Officers are asking locals to join them today (Wednesday, August 21) at four different locations, where briefings will take place before the activity begins.

This will include foot patrols, searches and letter drops in response to a rise in knife attacks and shootings in south Sefton.

Superintendent Graeme Robson said: Police patrolling south Sefton earlier this month “We know there have been a number of meeting points at 5pm – they are Derby Park in concerning violent incidents recently and we Bootle, Bowersdale Park in Seaforth, Kirkstone want to show the local communities that we are Road North in Litherland and Marian Square in dedicated to tackling serious and organised Netherton. crime in the South Sefton area.

Golfer, 83, who can’t hold a club properly hits a hole-in-one!

Report by Tom Martin AN 83-year-old golfer from Netherton who struggles to hold a club properly after having an operation on his hand was left delighted after he hit a hole-in-one!

Derek Mooman has proved that age and health set-backs are no barrier after he hit his ball straight off the tee and into the hole at Kirkby Valley Golf Club.

It’s even more impressive considering Derek had to have three tendons removed from three of his fingers when he was 50-years-old due to skin cancer treatment.

It means he can’t grip the golf clubs properly, but he hasn’t let it hold him back and plays regularly with friends Arnie Bryant and Joe Cunningham.

The hole-in-one came on the tenth hole which is around 170 yards, and as Derek explained, they didn’t realise straight away and thought the ball was lost!

He said: “There was a bunker to the left and right, and I saw it roll onto the green but it’s quite raised so I didn't see it go in the hole.

“When we got there we were looking for it but couldn’t find it! Joe then shouted ‘Derek, it's in the hole!’ I couldn't believe it!

“That has never happened before in the 25 Derek Mooman years I've been playing golf.

“I had an operation when I was 50 which His playing partner and friend Arnie said: “Derek removed three tendons from three of my fingers and is brilliant and nothing stops him. He walks from even to this day I can't make a fist.

“I think playing golf helps though because it helps hole to hole, always pushes his own buggy.

“He’s also the most competitive out of the three of me exercise it. I can’t properly grip the golf club so I us! We were all made up for him.” need ones with fat grips.”

Irish navy ship docks in port as its crew enjoy break in city Report by Tom Martin AN Irish navy ship was docked in Bootle last weekend as the crew visited the city on a three-day break.

New Irish patrol vessel George Bernard Shaw was berthed at Huskisson Dock on Friday, August 16 as their crew of 44 enjoyed a few days ashore.

Some of the activities included watching Everton play Watford at Goodison Park on Saturday before enjoying the all-Ireland Hurling Championship Final between Kilkenny and Tipperary on television on Sunday before they departed the Bootle dock.

Sailors from HMS Eaglet, home to the Royal Navy in north-west England, met up with the crew to welcome them to Liverpool.

The 2,226-tonne ship, which measures 90m in length, is the same length as a football pitch and came into service in April 2019.

It has since been carrying out operations in Warrant Officer 1 Rob Lockyer, of HMS Eaglet, with the Irish Exclusive Economic Zone – including Lieutenant Commander Phillip Dicker, Commanding fishery protection patrols and search and res- Officer of LE George Bernard Shaw. cue duties.

Richardson’s Healthcare staff celebrate with the Lord Lieutenant of Merseyside, Mark Blundell, the Deputy Lord Lieutenant and the Mayor of Sefton and her Consort

Healthcare firm wins top award for exports Report by Tom Martin A COMPANY in Bootle which designs and manufactures operating tables and birthing mattresses has been given a prestigious Queen's Award for Enterprise.

Richardsons Healthcare Ltd was recognised for its “outstanding growth in its exports.”

The awards are given for outstanding achievement by UK businesses in categories of innovation, international trade, sustainable development and promoting opportunity through social mobility.

Richardsons Healthcare managing director Michael Gould, said: “This is wonderful recognition of the hard work and professionalism of our entire team.

“Despite being the fifth largest economy, the UK is ranked only ninth for exporting.

“More British companies need to recognise the huge benefits of becoming an exporter in terms of

profitability and the spreading of commercial risk.

“I hope in the near future to be helping in some major export awareness events, supported by our local chambers of commerce and the Department for International Trade.

“There is plenty of help and assistance available for companies who would like to start exporting and we need to make businesses aware of it.”

Richardsons Healthcare Ltd, formed in 1988, has been supported by InvestSefton, Sefton Council’s enterprise and inward investment service.

Despite a difficult economic trading environment for UK manufacturers, the company's overseas earnings grew by 66% over a three-year period.

They mainly export to Europe but the company recently expanded into the USA and China markets.

Cllr Marion Atkinson, Sefton Council’s cabinet member for regeneration and skills, said: “We are extremely proud of Richardsons. They are positive about employing residents and encouraging 4 other 1+3= Sefton businesses to consider exporting.”

Council must compromise with Highways England on road plan

Visitors should respect the beach instead of dumping rubbish there

THROUGH reports in your paper it appears that both Sefton Council and MP Peter Dowd will not co-operate with Highways England over the proposed new road unless it is replaced by a tunnel.

They are prepared to take them to court with their legal objections and this may take up to four years which will presumably land cash-strapped Sefton Council with a very large legal bill.

In a ideal world a tunnel would be a great idea.

But like a lot of things with major capital schemes unless there is a bottomless pot of money all stakeholders have to compromise at some point to deliver schemes.

I feel that all parties must come together to deliver this scheme as soon as possible rather than play a bat and ball game through the courts which will not benefit the tax payers of Sefton as they line the pockets of wealthy barristers and QCs.

During the recent hot weather, I went down to the Waterloo and Crosby seafront to have a nice walk along the seawall promenade.

I was amazed to see so much rubbish on the beach and the surrounding areas.

There was empty plastic food containers, cans, glass bottles, soiled babies nappies, beer bottles and cans.

The rubbish attracted scores of flies and hungry seagulls, who are now attacking people for food.

I believe there are two reasons for the disgraceful mess.

Sefton Council are not putting enough bins along the seafront and surrounding areas.

The visitors are also at fault, for not tak-

More than 40,0000 vehicles a day currently travel along the A5036 corridor which makes it one of the busiest trunk roads in the UK. Along this route are schools, homes and businesses yet Sefton Council seem incredibly silent on safeguarding their health and safety.

As previous letters have suggested Rimrose Valley Park will remain and provide access for current and new users in the years to come.

So come on Sefton Council open up a dialogue with Highways England, Peel Holdings and Network Rail and all local stakeholders and compromise on delivering a very much needed and long overdue road scheme that will eventually benefit many Sefton residents and employers.

ing their rubbish home with them.

The same people who leave this revolting mess would not go near the beach if it looked like that on arrival.

It is symptomatic of our collective selfishness and carelessness.

A few days of hot weather, and much of our sea front soon starts to look like a rubbish tip.

The mind boggles as to how anyone thinks that this is an acceptable thing to do.

They should be respecting the sea front and environment, not abusing it.

Walk for bowel cancer charity As someone who loves to walk, I’m proud to support Bowel Cancer UK’s Walk Together fundraiser.

Every 15 minutes someone is diagnosed with bowel cancer.

That’s over 42,000 people every year, which includes my dad, who has thankfully now recovered from the disease.

Walk Together is a sponsored walk that brings people from all ‘walks’ of life together to show our support for those undergoing treatment, remember loved ones and help stop people dying from bowel cancer You can take on a virtual five mile walk at your own pace, or plan your own special Walk Together in your area.

Bowel cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the UK and the country’s second biggest cancer killer.

However it shouldn’t be because it is treatable and curable especially if diagnosed early.

Sign up to Walk Together to receive a fundraising pack with everything you need to hold your own memorable walk and help ensure a future where nobody dies of bowel cancer: bowelcanceruk.org.uk/walktogether.

My father worked at Swalwell’s barbers

Aintree Village has never looked so shabby with overgrown weeds

I have been following with great interest the letters from your readers regarding George Swalwell as my father (John McCall) worked in the Aintree Road shop from the later 1940s to the early 1960s.

I have many memories of going to the shop after school and sitting in the staff room at the back reading comics or getting in the way by trying to brush the floor in the shop.

When I left school, I entered the trade and was an apprentice to Tom Wensley at Greenwood’s in Cooks Road, Crosby.

I read of the weed spraying programme undertaken in Maghull by Sefton Council in the Champion.

They strive to make the borough attractive and safe for residents!

Not so in Aintree Village.

Our pavements and gutters are now overgrown with weeds, increasing daily.

Whoever Sefton Council tender their grass cutting programme out to are a joke.

The grass is ‘cut’ or hacked in an appalling manner and all the grass cuttings are left to spread over our pavements and gutters.

Surely it’s not hard to have the loose grass

Bill McCall, Blundellsands.

collected after being cut.

That used to happen years ago.

Sefton Council should be ashamed.

We are ashamed of the look of the area at present through no fault of our own.

It has never looked so shabby.

Yet again Aintree Village is the forgotten area.

Doesn’t seem to happen in other areas.

When do we get a weed spraying programme?

I’m off to ask our councillors soon!

Liz Wilson,

I think your correspondent Tony missed the point of my letter which was about the proposed adjustment to Great George's Road junction and not South Road.

South Road was purely shown as a comparison with the introduction of a ‘smart’ traffic light system which delayed the completion of the junction by many months.

These do not work and as for being ‘smart’ are completely the opposite.

I was not objecting to the cyclists or pedestrians, only the time taken for them to use the lights.

Whilst accepting your comment, I would suggest that they learn to use the facility correctly and when they press their button they wait for the signal to turn ‘green’ before crossing, instead of crossing with a gap in the traffic.

This causes frustration to vehicle users.

As ‘smart’ lights I would expect them to read the need to change and only do so if someone is waiting.

Ray Yates, Bootle.

Peter Dowd MP with Bootle Tool Shed volunteers

MP hails ‘fantastic work’ of group which combats loneliness among men Report by Tom Martin A SOCIAL group that aims to combat loneliness in men has been hailed by MP Peter Dowd for doing “fantastic work.”

Bootle Tool Shed supports men aged 50 and over who are socially isolated and gives them a chance to socialise and take part in activities.

The group is currently based in the Strand Shopping Centre, but there are plans to move and find a larger base to expand their services.

MP Dowd said: “I always enjoy visiting Bootle Tool Shed and especially to support their aim of gaining a bigger premises to continue their fantastic work.”

A spokesperson for Bootle Tool Shed said: “We set up the group to meet the needs of the ever growing group of men aged 50 and over who live, work or

visit in the Bootle area.

“Although our target group is older men we welcome any age or gender to get involved.

“There have been a number of studies done in recent years on the effects of social isolation on this group in particular, and these studies show the need for social groups to be set up around a common interest and that’s what we aim to do here.

“Men generally find it more difficult to re-engage with those around them when they retire, are made redundant or if a marriage or relationship breaks down, or if they even become widowed.

“At Bootle Tool Shed we want to try to encourage a mix of generations as studies have shown that the skill sharing of these mixed age groups is a great benefit to all.”

Beach events for people of all ages

The sound of silence has never bothered me PERHAPS it is not the best recommendation for a journalist, but I confess I am not the most naturally talkative person.

I’ve always had the notion (though perhaps it’s a justification) that if you can’t get on with yourself, you are unlikely to get on with others either. And being on my own doesn’t bother me one jot.

I can happily pass the evening on my Broads cruiser, Manxman, in the near total silence of a river bank mooring in the middle of nowhere, with the telly and radio firmly off, and listen to the sound of silence.

Now I do not mean to imply that I am something of a recluse. I do enjoy the company of my fellow man and woman on many occasions, but I am happy to say that, unlike a whole generation or so of people, I do not find it vital constantly to be in touch.

And yes, I know this is becoming increasingly odd in these days of www this and broadband that, and am quite happy to ride a bus or train that does not offer free Wi-Fi (whatever that may be).

One of my few concessions to the modern world is the laptop I am using to write this article - but even then I am effectively using it only as a somewhat unpredictable typewriter with a memory stick.

At present the thing is playing up in several odd ways and the only chap at Champion Towers who really knows how to fix the infernal machine is not currently about so I can only hope that this literary effort will live to see the light of day.

A good friend of mine, who died some years ago now, was convinced for ages that the ‘laptop’ was in fact called the ‘lapdog’. Would that it were, I (and apparently several more ‘modern’ folk than I) might then be able more easily to ponder its vagarious. Dogs in my experience can make a lot more sense.

Seriously though, I really do think we should be concerned about the number of people, particularly - though not only - young people, who become genuinely upset if cut off from the socalled social media.

I started off by saying I was content with my own company but still valued contact with my fellow human beings, and that in general would seem to me to be a far more healthy mental attitude than going bananas because I cannot receive the latest social gossip or often apparently very unpleasant social comment.

I suppose I do have a slight concern over the horrible remarks about me there might be flying around the ether - but then again, ignorance is bliss and at least I am not liable to go potty because according to someone else nobody loves me!

Now I must confess that one aspect of all this which I do miss is the inability to fire off e-mails.

But again, if I lived with my computer at hand, by now I would have got myself into all kinds of hot water by knee-jerk reactions to something or somebody, and ill-considered, but now public, views of my own.

Actually, I tell a lie! There is one aspect of modern technology that I really do covet.

In recent months I have become aware of fellow hopeful travellers waiting at bus stops, who fish out their tablet (or whatever) and tell me happily (or indeed unhappily) “The bus is at so-and-so now and should be at this stop in xx minutes.”

Now, that is what I call a useful tool, which, I confess, does give me pause for thought as to which other possibilities might in fact prove very useful to me.

If and when I find out, I can only hope that I retain the strength of character not to become dependent on them.

No longer being able to endure, let along enjoy, the sound of silence would be a considerable loss, I think.

BEACH activities including stand-up paddleboard yoga, walking, beach clean-ups, boot camps and much more will be held over the coming weeks.

Sefton Council is offering an Active Coast programme of events for the remainder of the summer as part of a regional campaign to get people active on the beach, and improve their health and wellbeing.

This year, the Active Coast programme seeks to appeal to more people and includes a broader range of activities that fall into five categories: sports; environment; community action; walk and relaxation and arts and culture.

Sefton Council’s cabinet member for health and wellbeing Cllr Ian Moncur said: “There is something for everyone on our coast and we hope that people will be inspired to use our beaches more this summer.”

Blues fan completes gruelling triathlon for Everton FC charity Report by Tom Martin A PROUD Everton fan from Thornton has completed a gruelling triathlon to raise money for charity.

Amy Barnes took on the Ironman Bolton triathlon to raise funds for Everton in the Community.

An Ironman Triathlon is one of a series of long-distance triathlon races organised by the World Triathlon Corporation, consisting of a 2.4 mile swim, a 112 mile bicycle ride and a marathon 26.22 mile run, raced in that order and without a break.

Amy said: “The people of Bolton and the people in the villages we cycled through were absolutely lovely; they cheered everyone on all day and created such a great atmosphere.

“The day was tiring, exciting, painful and enjoyable.

“The cycle was brutal and apparently the hardest bike route of any Ironman in the world – 1,900 people started and 1,300 finished.

“The marathon was a four-lap route which went through Queen’s Park – my family and friends based themselves there and helped me through each time I passed.

“The final lap was the hardest but the finish line was amazing; Ironman UK and the Bolton volunteers created a brilliant event and by the end we were all really emotional!

“As a season ticket holder at Goodison I’ve always been aware of the good work of Everton in the Community. I’ve worked in sport development in Sefton for 14 years, working on different programmes which use activity to help prevent onset of medical conditions and improve lifestyle.

“I love working with people and seeing them change their health for the better which I know

Potholes repair cost city region £35m POTHOLES in the Liverpool City Region cost £35million to repair it has been revealed through a Freedom of Information request.

Liverpool City Region Combined Authority forked out the staggering amount across 2018 on local road repairs, according to figures obtained by the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB).

With 14,644 complaints received by the council from road users in 2017/18, a total of £34,544,457 was spent on potholes. In addition, the bill for claims resulting from damaged vehicles stood at £27,222.

Roads with the highest number of complaints in specific council areas were Horrocks Avenue, in Liverpool, and

Manchester Road, in Prescot.

Sefton Council say they were unable to provide information on individual roads.

For 2018/19, the emerging figures for each borough reflect an increase in spending on road repairs, with the exception of a small decrease in Sefton and in Wirral, where the figure remained the same.

Protesters outside Port of Liverpool

Protest at port over firms using foreign seafarers on low pay Report by Tom Martin A PROTEST was held outside the entrance to the Port of Liverpool over the issue of low pay for seafarers from abroad.

The National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) organised the action in Seaforth on Monday, August 19 and invited Bootle MP Peter Dowd, who spoke with the protesters.

The RMT claim P&O Ferries is replacing local employees with exploited foreign seafarers, who are allegedly only paid as little as $3.47 per hour.

In response, P&O say they have held talks with the RMT and they agreed on terms which the RMT are now protesting against.

Another point of protest for the RMT is their concerns that P&O ferries is refusing to re-deploy

members on the Irish Sea Fleet and is instead offering them a “false choice” of work, or redundancy.

RMT General Secretary, Mick Cash said: “It is a scandal that after announcing the sale by P&O of the European Endeavour our members were not offered redeployment on one of the company’s other Irish Sea vessels when suitable positions exist.

“Instead, P&O are filling ratings positions on the Irish Sea with agency crew, citing that their ‘business model’ needs to be maintained.

“It is shameful that shipping companies like P&O choose a business model that replaces long-standing seafarers with ‘low-cost’ workers.

“With this attitude from a major shipping company it is no surprise that of 101,000 Ratings and Officers that make our shipping industry tick, under 20% of these jobs are held by British seafarers, most of whom will retire in the next decade.”

Limited service on Merseyrail during strike action by RMT MERSEYRAIL has released its timetable for the upcoming strike action by guard members of the RMT union on Saturday, August 24.

A ‘limited’ service will call at selected stations across the network between around 7am and 7pm, with a short break in service in the middle of the day. All trains will run with six carriages.

There will be no services on Merseyrail’s Kirkby and Hunts Cross lines and services will start and terminate at Hooton station on the Chester and Ellesmere Port lines.

Passengers with a valid season ticket will be able to use selected bus routes in the City Region, details of which can be found at merseyrail.org/ strike or by speaking to a member of staff at Merseyrail ticket offices. Passengers travelling between Chester and Liverpool with a valid ticket can use the Transport for Wales service.

Managing director of Merseyrail, Andy Heath, said: “It’s extremely disappointing that our customers have to suffer further strike action on the Merseyrail network. We have met the demands of the RMT twice and on both occasions they have moved the goalposts.

“We are running the best possible service we can on the upcoming strike day and I apologise to all of our customers who will be affected.

“Our monthly and annual season ticket holders will be compensated for a day of travel for each strike day given the effect that the disruption may have on their journeys. We will be writing to them in due course.”

The RMT has said “our members feel so strongly that the proposed method of dispatch for the new trains is a less safe option that they are prepared to go back to the picket lines and demand an operational role that applies to all Merseyrail stations that the new trains call at.”

Customers will find information online at merseyrail.org/strike and can pick up a leaflet from stations on the network.

Bowling ace Anderson plays at Northern CC in Ashes fitness battle ENGLAND cricket team’s bowling ace James Anderson is playing in Crosby this week as he battles back from injury in time for the fourth Test match in the Ashes.

The 37-year-old, who is widely regarded as the country's greatest ever bowler, was playing for Lancashire's second XI as they faced Leicestershire at the Northern Club.

Anderson is currently fighting his way back into contention for England's fourth Ashes Test against Australia, which starts on Wednesday, September 4 at Old Trafford, Manchester.

Anderson bowled only four overs in the first Ashes

Test before he was forced off with a calf injury and he will use his appearance in the three-day friendly match in Crosby, which started on Tuesday, August 20, to prove his fitness.

A statement from the English and Wales Cricket Board read: “James Anderson is making progress from his injured right calf.

“Anderson will step up his rehabilitation by playing for Lancashire second XI against Leicestershire in a three-day friendly match starting on Tuesday August 20 at Northern Cricket Club.

“He will be assessed on an ongoing basis ahead of selection for the fourth Ashes Test.”

Audience dance in aisles at Buddy Holly production

in a ‘dream role’ Interview by Henry James

Willy Russell show is returning to city venue

The deadline for Private Advertisers for publication on

BANKS

ENTERTAINMENT Alex appearing LIVERPOOL’S Alex Patmore is looking forward to performing in Blood Brothers in his home town when the latest tour comes to the Liverpool Empire next month.

Patmore plays Mickey Johnstone, one of the twin brothers, who is brought up by his biological mother.

The musical by Willy Russell has been a hit across the world and is always popular when it returns to Liverpool.

Patmore went on to explain why the show has been so successful: “It really highlights the difference between the classes in the 60s. There was a big divide between the classes in that decade.

“It has every emotion including: laughter and sadness. It also highlights men’s mental illness which is such a sensitive subject and is such a hot topic at the moment. It is a credit to Willy’s writing.

“You will end up exhausted after watching it because it takes you on such a journey.

“It has been going for 40 years but

the issues are still relevant today. The music is great too. I don’t think the show will ever die. It’s one of a kind.”

Mickey ’s mum had twins (Mickey and Edward) who are separated at birth, but they meet again in the show.

Alex describes his character: “When the show starts he is seven years old and he is rough an innocent at the same time. Mickey is a bit mischievous but is a loveable character. The audience will fall in love with him.

“In Act two he is 14 and is of the age where people are discovering themselves. He is going through puberty and his hormones are all over the place. He confesses his feelings to his love interest in the show.”

Alex trained at the Liverpool Theatre School, gaining a National Diploma Musical Theatre. He has been involved in a number of shows including playing Bobby Willis in Cilla The Musical (UK Tour).

He has never performed at the Empire before and commented: “I am excited and nervous to be performing at the Empire. It is a dream to be on the stage there. I am going to find it emotional with two and a half thousand people in the audience.”

Blood Brothers returns to the Liverpool Empire from Tuesday, September 3 until Saturday, September 14.

Review by Ron Ellis Buddy Holly Lives Floral Hall, Southport BACK in the Eighties I interviewed singer Mike Berry whose 1961 hit single, Tribute to Buddy Holly, had made his name. He told me he’d been lucky with the timing as ‘nowadays I’d be billed not as Mike Berry but a ‘Buddy Holly Tribute’ act’.

Well, Buddy Holly Lives is not a tribute act. Far from it. It’s a full-size theatrical production telling the story of Buddy Holly’s life and featuring a cast of actors, a backing band of professional musicians plus a series of films showing scenes of Buddy Holly’s career projected onto a giant screen at the back of the stage.

Compere, Billy Butler, opened the show by thanking the audience for coming and apologizing for the show being cancelled the previous week due to ‘structural problems at the theatre’, which is why the venue was changed to the Floral Hall.

In fact the change of date also meant that a new backing band had to be hired as the original members had prior commitments and more than 100 people had money refunded as they were unable to attend on the new date.

Luckily, the Floral Hall was packed and the audience entered into the spirit of things, soon dancing in the aisles.

Billy played a taped message from Buddy Holly’s parents after which Lesley Butler came on as Vi Petty, pianist on Buddy’s records and wife of producer Norman Petty, and she acted as narrator for the evening, recounting Buddy ’s rise to fame from his home in Lubbock, Texas to international stardom. Local actor, Ronnie Orr, played Texan D.J. Dave ‘Pappy ’ Stone.

Finally, Asa Murphy, who wrote and produced the show, and is from Maghull, arrived onstage, looking eerily like Buddy Holly with his trademark black-rimmed glasses, and proceeded to thrill the audience as he sang his way through the Buddy Holly songbook.

Sadly, there were no facilities in the replacement venue for showing the film clips, which were an integral part of the show, and, despite the sterling efforts of hastily recruited sound engineers, the sound quality in this building was not of the best for this type of show.

However, the enthusiasm of the cast and the reaction of the audience to the well-loved rock’n’roll classics made the evening worthwhile.

Asa Murphy's next venture is Mack the Knife' -The Bobby Darin Story which is being premiered at Liverpool’s Epstein Theatre at 2.30pm and 7.30pm on October 4. Meanwhile, his regular radio show is on BBC Radio Merseyside every Sunday at 5pm.

Star rating: 7 out of 10. Despite the setbacks, the music got the audience dancing

Marine start with hard earned draw Marine 1 Dunston 1

Will Purser claimed six wickets for Firwood Bootle in their win at Southport & Birkdale.

Purser claims 6-29 as Bootle see off S&B The top of the Liverpool & District Cricket Competition Premier Division remains the same, after long time leaders Bootle extended their lead at the top to 32 points with a nine wicket win at struggling Southport & Birkdale.

The hosts elected to bat and were dismantled for just 72 with Will Purser claiming 6-29 off 18.1 overs.

In reply, two unbeaten knocks from Danny Davies 52* (including a six to win it) and Will Hale 22* took the visitors to a comfortable victory on 78-1.

Ormskirk sent Colwyn Bay to the foot of the table with a 38 run home win, the hosts elected to bat and were able to declare on 190-4, thanks to an unbeaten 57* from Gary Knight, 41 from Alex Rankin and 36 from George Lavelle. In reply, Saliya Jeewantha 82 and Michael Littler 40 were the only ones to offer much with the willow as the visitors were dismissed for 152, with Tom Hartley taking 3-49.

Northern suffered a disappointing two wicket defeat at home to Lytham who were bottom ofthe table at the start of the day.

Northern fall to two wicket defeat at home to Lytham Elected to bat first, Northern struggled to 135 all out with Liam Grey top scoring with 29, whilst the pick of the Lytham bowlers was skipper Ben Saunders with 7-38.

In reply, Lytham slipped to 1-2 before Ross Zelem 33 restored a bit of order.

His dismissal and that of Lancashire’s Toby Lester for 19 left the match in the balance on 68-6. but Saunders with an unbeaten 42* and Anthony Mulligan 12* added an unbroken partnership of 34* to clinch victory for Lytham on 136-8. Justin Snow 3-34 and Tom Sephton 3-75 taking the bulk of the wickets.

Formby were beaten by three wickets at home against Orrell Red Triangle, the hosts were put in to bat and dismissed for 113, with Jason Underwood 32 and Ben Aitchison 27 top scoring against an attack led by Siddiq Patel 4-35 and Tom Jones 3-24. In reply, skipper Richard Everett 63 helped guide the visitors to victory on 114-7.

McGloughlin bags six wickets in win for Hightown at Maghull In the Second Division, Hightown St Mary’s beat Maghull away by four wickets.

Maghull chose to bat and were bowled out for 145, with Joe

Medew-Ewen 38 and Jon Ring 32 scoring the bulk of the runs, whist Alec McLoughlin 6-49 and Matt Laybourne 3-38 took the majority of the wickets.

In reply, McLoughlin 36, Jayden Schadendorf 33 and an unbeaten 42* from Arslan Dar helped guide the visitors to victory on 147-6, with Medew-Ewen taking 4-53.

MARINE started their league campaign with a hard-earned draw after a header from captain Niall Cummins was cancelled out by Dunston as the two sides shared the spoils.

The home side were quick out of the blocks, with chances coming from the ever-impressive Steve Irwin as well as Craig Lindfield in his second spell for the club.

It was captain Cummins who opened the scoring though, shortly after the half-hour mark with a stooping header from close range.

Cummins had another chance just before the break but Dunston stopper Karl Dryden managed to Niall Cummins heads home to give Marine the lead. prevent a second goal.

Michael Pearson, minutes, but had to be replaced immediately after Liam Marrs and Daniel Capewell were all booked due to a head injury suffered in the lead-up to the for the visitors, and Kenny Strickland received a goal.

Bucks again left to rue missed chances and poor defending Runcorn Town 2 Bootle 0 BOOTLE’S search for their first win of the season goes on after Runcorn Town condemned them to a second straight defeat, writes Connor O’Neill.

Just a week after being dumped out of the Emirates FA Cup, Joe Doran’s side were once again left to rue missed chances and poor defending in what is sadly becoming a familiar theme to their campaign.

Two first-half goals were enough for Town, who brought the Bucks' 23-game unbeaten league run to an abrupt end at

the Viridor Community Stadium.

Bootle had started brightly, with Ryan Cox, Steven Jones, and Daniel Murphy all seeing efforts saved by Adam Reid in the Town goal.

But on 42 minutes, the hosts were awarded a penalty, despite it appearing that forward Dave Forbes stood on the ball and Town player-manager Paul McManus scored from the spot.

Things soon went from bad to worse for the Bucks as Craig Cairns raced in behind the defence before confidently finishing past Ryan Jones.

The second-half was a rather dull affair, and the Bucks were

denied what looked a penalty when Marcus James appeared to handle inside the box, but the referee awarded a corner.

With 14 minutes remaining, Bucks goalkeeper Ryan Jones wrote his name into the club's history books by becoming the first player to be sin-binned.

The Bucks stopper was forced off the field for 10 minutes, leaving defender Ste Hoy to don the gloves and temporarily take up the goalkeeping duties.

Bootle were due to travel to Ashton Athletic yesterday, (Tuesday.) They are without a match on Saturday and return to action on Monday when they host Burscough.

MAGHULL secured their first win of their West Cheshire League season in emphatic style.

Williams had given the visitors the lead but Elliot Toner hit a fierce 20-yard drive into the top corner of the net to level matters. Jordan Holmes gave Maghull the lead shortly after the break with Mike Boyle soon increasing the advantage and from then on the home side dominated proceedings.

Holmes completed the scoring when he grabbed his second with ten minutes remaining.

Maghull Reserves were beaten 3-0 at Prescot Cables Reserves in the Second Division.

Maghull are at home to Ellesmere Port Town on Saturday.

CITY of Liverpool began life in the North West Counties Northern Division with a narrow loss in North Yorkshire after they were made to pay after only five minutes when a fine left footed strike from Curtis Round left goalkeeper Matty Johnson with no chance.

Tom Peterson going close with a header and Franny Foy threatening the crossbar with a wonderfully whipped in free kick for the Purps.

In the second half City had good efforts from Jay Jefferies with a header and Elliott Nevitt with a lovely touch and strike but they could not find the equaliser while Karl Clair’s penalty was well saved.

A sending off for Jefferies after a second bookable offence added to the misery for City Of Liverpool, who now look forward to entertaining Skelmersdale in the FA Cup on Saturday.

REMYCA played out a tense stalemate with their best chance of the game coming straight off a Ben Morrow goal kick on 27 minutes, when Liam Diggle attempted to chip the keeper, with the effort going just wide.

Morrow put in a man of the match effort in goal, saving the side several times in the second half.

Thorpe should of scored the winner for Hanley, missing a sitter in front of goal, letting the Remyca off the hook.

Hanley finished the game with ten men after an off the ball confrontation between Christopher Boast and Liam Diggle led to Boast being sent off.

World class employers jump on-board the digital revolution West Lancashire College, with the input of some of the UK’s leading employers, have developed an innovative Digital Careers Academy which will address local and national skills gaps and lead directly to highly sought after employment opportunities.

The Confederation of British Industry have reported that over twothirds of companies struggle to fill vacancies for digital roles. Matthew Fell, the CBI’s chief UK policy director, states that “‘technology is changing the way we live and work, creating millions of jobs and adding £184bn to the UK economy. Yet this new data reveals the majority of firms are struggling to fill digital roles across all sectors and skills levels, with demand set to skyrocket in the next few years”.

Sanjay Brahmawar, The Global Head of development at IBM pointed out that “By 2020 we will have one million unfilled jobs in the IT sector. Primarily because the skills we have today aren’t the right skills for the future.”

Particularly in demand positions include software developers, cryptocurrency, cyber security, machine learning and Artificial Intelligence.

In response the College has positioned itself as the number one to train and learn next generation digital skills. Daniel Gorman, Vice Principal at West Lancashire College states that “We are investing in a world-leading portfolio of training opportunities to tackle the digital skills challenge through a co-ordinated and collaborative approach with employers and some of the UK’s leading tech experts. We are already seeing digital skills transforming other job roles such as marketing where there is a growing need for Social Media, SEO and affiliate marketing specialisms. It is therefore important that we are equipping people in West Lancashire with skills that make them competitive on a local and international stage as we move into the fourth industrial revolution.”

With thousands of new jobs each year, the Digital sector is always on the lookout for new talent, average earnings within the sector are £37,500 compared to a national average of £28,000 and with the right skills in high demand, a career in digital technology is a most rewarding experience.

So if you’re a creative thinker, with a knack for solving problems and seeing opportunities, there’s a world of opportunity in digital tech right now!

Tuitionin

CELEBRATING 20 YEARS IN BUSINESS Local thriving business, Tuitionin, is celebrating its 20th birthday this year! Tuitionin offers English and mathematics tuition for ages 6-18; with a free consultation, free trial lesson and assessment for any student interested in getting extra support with their studies.

progress, whilst learning alongside their peers.

Tuitionin understands and embraces that every student is different and learn in different ways. Each child receives the support they require in order to build their confidence and help them to reach their full potential.

This family-run tuition business has Centres in Maghull and Crosby and is run by husband and wife team Mark and Karen Wadsworth, son Jack (Crosby Manager) and Kim Moore (Maghull Manager). Mark and Karen set up the business due to a high demand for Mark’s home mathematics tutoring service. With waiting lists forming and increasing recommendations, Maghull Maths Centre was established. Mark and his team began teaching small groups of students in premises in Maghull. The business quickly outgrew these small premises and moved to its current Head Office at 16 Northway. Over the years, the team has grown and they have expanded to include English as well as mathematics. In 2015, they took the bold step to open another Centre in Crosby and carried over the same successful formula. This provided the opportunity to re-brand and Tuitionin was created! Again, as was the case with the Maghull Centre, Tuitionin quickly outgrew their original premises and within 2 years, moved to a larger Centre and the branch now operates out of a newly refurbished and impressive unit on Moor Lane (above Home Bargains).

Students that attend the Centres enjoy learning in a positive environment, with friendly and professional qualified teaching staff on hand. Tuitionin offer a reliable and supportive service for both students and parents. Centre based, small group tuition has proved to be an incredibly effective means of learning for the many students that have attended the Centres over the past 20 years. Students benefit from consistent weekly support and an entire team of DBS checked qualified teachers, managers, teaching and administrative assistants.

Tuitionin has a fantastic, dedicated team enabling them to deliver the highest quality tuition possible.

Students attend for one or two hours per week.

The team provide every child with a tailored work programme, coordinating with the curriculum and their individual needs. The individual learning programme, combined with group tuition offers the best of both, with students able to focus on their own work and

Tuitionin has had another busy year, helping to improve their students’ ability and preparing students for assessments including; SATs, 11+ Entrance Exams, GCSE and A level exams. In the 20182019 school year, Key Stage 2 SATs results were outstanding with the average result of 111 (exceeding the National Standard). The team has an incredibly high success rate in helping all of their students to achieve their goals. This year a record number of students are returning to Tuitionin for the new school year in September, which is a testament to the professional service they have received. Many students choose to return year on year, and some have attended throughout their schooling. Ella (pictured below) began attending at age 6 and is now 16 and awaiting her GCSE results! The team form great bonds with families and have enjoyed supporting, in some cases, several generations! The management team is committed to improving the service year on

year and pride themselves on delivering exceptional tuition. The 5 star reviews on Facebook and our loyal returning customers only confirm this! Karen says, “Being a mum myself I know that all we ever want for our children is for them to be healthy, happy and academically reach their full potential – whatever that may be. I have the privilege of meeting and talking to lovely students and their families and that’s why it is so important for us to always strive to do our best to support them.”

The Secondary students programme, closely monitors each child’s progress, through topic previews and topic assessments. The team can coordinate with school to ensure that their Centre teaching compliments and supports their class learning too.

Students are amazed at the quantity of work they can cover in one or two hours per week and feel reassured by the experienced team of support they have at their disposal every lesson. Mark says, “I have been a qualified mathematics teacher for over 30 years and the implementation of the 9-1 Curriculum has been the most significant change I have seen. This new grading system introduced a much more rigorous exam assessment, not only at GCSE level but also at Key Stage 3. Students can quickly lose confidence in their ability with the increased difficulty level of work. However, they need to be encouraged to see that with practise and commitment to their studies they can make great strides forward and that is where we come in.”

Bailey’s Cards & Gifts

A card shop with a difference!

Bailey’s Cards & Gifts was first opened on Liverpool Road, Southport in 2012 by Simon and Penny.

Selling greetings cards for all occasions, their aim was to be different from the usual card shops on the high street, offering more unique items such as a wide range of gifts, and with a friendly, local approach. At that time Penny stayed on in her nursing career in order to be able to support the shop in it’s initial years.

Eventually they moved the shop to a new location, just a stones throw away on Station Road, next to Tesco Express. The success of this move eventually allowed Penny to leave her nursing career and focus entirely on the business with Simon.

In May 2019 their second branch was opened in Crosby village. Twice the size of the Ainsdale branch, it allowed them to stock many more new and exciting lines, such as a Thornton’s franchise counter offering personalised chocolate items. Unique gifts are plenty here, from handbags to scarves, home fragrance (including being an official Yankee Candle supplier), gin glasses, stationery, jewellery and much much more.

All with a gift wrap service available should customers require it.

Their hard work was rewarded recently when they won The Retas award for ‘Best Independent Greeting Card Retailer (North and Northern Ireland) 2019’.

A fantastic achievement for both the teams at Ainsdale and Crosby. Penny and Simon are extremely grateful and would like to thank all of their customers who’ve supported them and allowed them to get this far.

Looking towards 2020 and the next step for Bailey’s – a third shop opening in the new year in a brand new location. They are excited to bring their award winning shop and unique gifts to more local people.
