Andy Grant (right) and Phil Reade with their book ‘You’ll Never Walk’

Andy ’s autobiography in running for sports book of the year award AN autobiography based on the life of a heroic Royal Marine from Bootle has been nominated for The William Hill Sports Book of the Year award.

You'll Never Walk, which was penned by Phil Reade, tells the story of Andy Grant's incredible triumph over adversity, when he lost a leg in Afghanisaton before going on to win a 10K belowthe-knee-amputee world record.

The William Hill Sports Book of the Year award, which organisers say is the richest and longest running prize for sports writing, has revealed a shortlist

of 17 possible winners.

This year the prize for winning the award is £30,000, as well as a free £2,000 William Hill bet, and a day at the races.

Andy’s You'll Never Walk book will compete against the likes of Jenson Button's autobiography, entitled Life to the Limit: My Autobiography, and a book penned about Tiger Woods.

Andy has described the inclusion in the shortlist as “a bit crazy”, while Phil Reade said he was “absolutely made up” at the recognition.

GREAT DEALS ON BEDS!

Cash stolen in armed raid on security officer A MAN armed with a ‘bladed weapon’ threatened a bank security guard and stole a cash box in a broad daylight street robbery in Bootle.

The incident happened in front of shocked passers-by when a man approached the security guard outside a branch of Barclays, near the Strand Shopping Centre, at around 10.45am on Thursday, September 27.

Threaten The armed robber used the weapon to threaten the guard and then grabbed the cash box and got into a red Nissan Juke, which was driven by a second man.

The vehicle headed off in the direction of Litherland and police later found it abandoned on Jersey Close.

The armed man is described by police as tall, skinny and dressed all in black or dark green with a black baseball cap.

PROPOSALS have now officially been put to Sefton Council to erect at Maghull North Station a sculpture and granite plinth to commemorate the work of Moss Side Hospital.

Maghull Town Council has commissioned the public work of art to mark the work of the hospital which treated and cared for victims who had suffered from the effects of trauma and shellshock during and after the First World War. The sculpture will be placed in a position close to the ticket office entrance of Maghull North Station.

A planing application prepared by Landor Planning Consultants Ltd for Maghull Town Council sates: “The proposed sculpture will be erected in an offset position close to the ticket office entrance of Maghull North Station.

“Thus, it will be in a highly visible location, closely associated with the Hospital site, and where it will be seen by rail users and visitors to the station.

“Maghull Town Council has worked in partnership with Merseyrail regarding the location and siting of the sculpture, and is delighted that the proposed commemorative statue is to be erected at Maghull North Rail Station.”

A computerised image of how the new sculpture will look.

The sculpture will be mounted on a square, granite plinth. It is being created by the noted British sculptor Andrew Edwards who has designed many other public works of art including the renowned statue of The Beatles at Liverpool's Pier Head. It will be cast in bronze and will depict a nurse helping a shellshocked and traumatised soldier.

The planning application adds: “The

sculpture provides a public work of art which is aesthetically pleasing and conveys a message about human frailty, care, compassion, support and remembrance.”

The statement adds: “It is important that with the opening of a new rail station, that represents the future, alongside is a work of art which encompasses the highest human qualities past and present.”

Some of the South Hub staff and service users involved in the Macmillan bake off and brew up

Bakers raise some dough!

SERVICE users at a Netherton centre for people with support needs have been baking off and brewing up to raise funds for a leading cancer charity!

Clients of the South Hub on Park Lane, run by New Directions, produced a wide range of tempting cakes and pastries as part of the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning, the national event in aid of Macmillan Cancer Sup-

port. These were then sold off to raise funds for the Macmillan charity.

When all the money is collected in from the array of fairy cakes, cup cakes, pies, flans and sandwich cakes it is hoped that the South Hub will have raised more than £150 for the Macmillan appeal.

South Hub service manager, Michelle Colleran, said: “Our ser-

vice users are always very keen supporters of charity projects, and this was certainly the case again with this event in aid of a particularly worthwhile cause.

“All the cakes they produced looked absolutely delicious, so it’s no surprise to me that they attracted such a lot of enthusiastic customers, helping to raise a significant sum for Macmillan in the process.”

Students act out scrambler bike collision for schoolchildren STUDENTS from Bootle were tasked with the unusual job of pretending to be casualty victims as part of a road safety demonstration for young children.

The students - from Hugh Baird College - acted out a collision between a car and scrambler bike which was watched by more than 200 school children at an event in Croxteth.

It was organised by Merseyside Police, Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service and North West Ambulance Service to make youngsters aware of the dangers of scrambler bikes.

Constable Alan Thompson, who has run a scrambler bike awareness poster competition for the past four years, thanked the Hugh Baird students for their efforts.

He said: “We are always looking for new ways to engage with young people and keep them safe. We will talk the children through every step of the process, from the police arriving

at scene and requesting the assistance of other emergency services, to the casualties being treated and taken to hospital.

“Our hope is that by showing in a very real way the impact of a collision, we will ensure that all those children attending go away with a greater understanding of the importance of staying safe on our roads, and acting responsibly at all times.

“It is wonderful to have the support of Hugh Baird and all the schools we go into regularly to deliver these safety messages, who are sending pupils on the day.

“Many of the incidents on our roads are preventable, and this event should equip the young people with the skills to keep themselves out of harm’s way.

“I would like to thank all the organisations that have supported this event and given their time to make it so worthwhile for the schools who are attending.”

From page 1 The driver of the car is described as being male, of large build, wearing blue or black jacket, dark coloured shorts, white socks and a white hat or bandana.

An investigation is underway and CCTV and forensic opportunities are being carried out in the local area.

Detective Chief Inspector Gayle Rooney said: “I would appeal to anyone who was in the vicinity of Stanley Road, or any neighbouring road, who saw anyone or anything suspicious to contact us as a matter of urgency.

“I would also appeal to anyone who believes they have CCTV or dash-cam footage to get in touch as they may have something which is vital to the investigation.”

Anyone with information is asked to DM @MerPolCC, call 101 or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 quoting reference number 18200203806.

Two businesses are nominated for gongs TWO Bootle businesses have been nominated for gongs in the Merseyside Independent Business Awards 2018.

CNC Robotics, which is an advanced machinery manufacturer, has been shortlisted in the Trades or Manufacturing Business of the Year, and Cattington, which is a social media agency, is up for Digital and technology Business of the Year.

The MIB Awards is organised by Morecrofts Solicitors and the shortlist and eventual winners are decided by an independent panel of judges drawn from within the regional business community.

Now in its sixth year, it aims to celebrate the achievements of local entrepreneurs and independent businesses and showcase the enduring impact they have on the regional economy.

There are companies across Merseyside which have been nominated, but the two Bootle businesses are the only representatives from Sefton.

Alison Lobb, managing partner at Morecrofts Solicitors, said: “The judges were blown away yet again this year by the incredible volume and quality of nominated businesses. The MIB Awards is evidence that our independent community remains in good health and continues to provide the region’s commercial backbone.”

The winners will be announced at a ceremony at the Rum Warehouse on Thursday, October 18.

SEFTON Council say they need an urgent cash boost of £25million to fund adult social care in the borough - or the most vulnerable people in the borough will be denied vital support.

The local authority is calling on the government for “immediate action and money” after describing the state of adult social care being in a “crisis.”

They have backed ‘The Lives We Want to Lead’ green paper, which was produced to challenge the government’s lack of action in the face of funding.

The council is now calling for funding of £25m over the next three years to ensure people in need of care are supported in a way that is right for them.

The local authority believes this will help to reduce future demand on services, develop the social care market, demonstrate how much the care and support workforce is valued and most importantly support those in need of care and their carers.

Cllr Paul Cummins, Sefton Council’s cabinet member for adult social care, said: “Social care is in crisis and a grown-up conversation needs to happen now.

“We desperately need more money to meet the needs of our most vulnerable people to ensure that we do not fail them when they need us the most.

“We must ensure that people in need of care and support are able to continue to live the lives that they want to live.

“The government must put this matter at the very heart of its thinking now, this cannot be kicked into the long grass or we will fail the most vulnerable in our communities.”

The council also highlights the need to keep decision making local where there is proven track

record of working with communities and partners to build resilience and safeguard the most vulnerable.

They also stress the importance of national investment to wider wellbeing services that work towards reducing the health and social inequalities in their communities and calls for this matter to be looked at holistically as Children’s Social Care is also under great pressure.

Margaret Carney, chief executive of Sefton Council, added: “When I grow old, I want to live in my community, with my family, being as happy and healthy as I can for as long as I can. I have that hope for all of our communities.

“Without the help of Adult Social Care, that probably isn’t going to happen for a lot of people.

“It is a false economy to under invest in Adult Social Care. It will lead to a greater and more complex demand in the future including an added burden on the National Health Service and significant inequalities between those who can afford to pay for care and those who can’t.

“This is unfair and unjust and the government must act now.”

Katia awarded for tackling knifeman Report by Tom Martin A YOUNG girl from Waterloo will be given a bravery award after she helped tackle a knifeman who had just stabbed her dad in a supermarket.

Katia Brierley, who is only 13years-old, was in Bootle’s Lidl store last May when her dad, Mick, was approached by a hooded man armed with a Stanley knife.

In a completely random attack, the man stabbed 56-year-old Mick in his leg before trying to run away, but fearless Katia “launched herself” at the attacker by throwing punches and trying to tackle him to the ground.

He was eventually stopped by a Lidl shopping assistant who managed to wrestle him to the floor and hold him while police rushed to the scene.

Mick was taken to hospital andfor urgent treatment to his leg injury, and a 21-year-old man was arrested by police and sectioned under the Mental Health Act. Now, Katia is being awarded by her 12th Crosby scout group, who nominated her for a bravery award and she will be presented with the special accolade by The Merseyside Scout County Commissioner later this month.

Her bravery will also be acknowledged on a national level, as the Sacred Heart Catholic College pupil has been invited to Kensington Palace to recieve an award organisedby the The Scout Association.

the man, but Katia did. Apparently he didn’t have a trolley or basket and had his hood up. I was looking the other way when he stabbed me in the leg so I didn’t even see what happened or what he looked like. In fact I think when I turned around I said something like ‘did you just stab me?’

“The knife went straight into my bone so he had trouble pulling it back out again and it fell on the floor. Katia just launched herself at him. She must have landed two punches and tried to tackle him. This man must have been more than 6ft 3in but she was not fazed by it.

She can’t believe all the attention she’s getting at the minute and isn't exactly one for the limelight, but I suppose there’s not many 13-year-old girls who would have a go at a man with a knife like that!”

Baxter opens up on drugs ban and his gratitude to Everton Report by Tom Martin BOOTLE footballer Jose Baxter has opened up for the first time about his drugs ban and how his career is now back on track.

The 26-year-old, who plays for Oldham Athletic, seemingly had the world at his feet when he became Everton’s youngest ever senior player in 2008 when he played against Blackburn Rovers as a 16-year-old.

However, in 2015 while playing for Sheffield United, the midfielder failed a drugs test and picked up a suspended punishment by his club after testing positive for ecstasy, although a hearing accepted that his drink had been spiked.

Only months later and Baxter failed another drugs test, this time testing positive for cocaine.

He was suspended and released by Sheffield United before picking up a 12-month ban from football and a £4,000 fine from the Football Association in August 2016.

Baxter’s career was in doubt, but he was offered a lifeline by Everton who allowed him to train with his former club before giving him a 12month contract.

This allowed him to earn a transfer to Oldham, where he is back enjoying his football and he scored his first goal for three years a couple of weeks ago.

Baxter spoke to The Times when he described being invited back to Everton. He said: “I thought I was going in to train with them, do preseason, then try and get a club off the back of that. I was happy with that. Made up.

Doreen publishes book about her inspirational mother AN AUTHOR from Bootle has penned a new book about her inspirational mum – who was the last living survivor of the Bootle Co-op air shelter bombing in World War Two. Doreen Davy, who grew up in the town, has penned ‘Between the Immensities’, a novel about a psychologist who leaves her home in New Zealand to return to Bootle to look after her elderly mother.

The story is semi-autobiographical, because Doreen is a registered psychologist in New Zealand and she had a similar experience when she came back to Bootle to care for her mum, Elizabeth Rowbotham.

Elizabeth, who died two years ago at the age of 95,was the last living survivor of the Bootle Co-op bombing, when on 7 May 1941, a bomb was dropped onto the Stanley Road shelter when its basement was full of people.

The impact of the explosion saw the upper floors collapse onto those sheltering below, killing many people, and survivors had to use emergency hatches to escape.

Elizabeth was honoured at a ceremony for the victims of the bombing, which was held in Bootle several years ago, when she was formally acknowledged as the being the only living survivor.

Doreen said: “The book is a semi-autobiographical novel about a woman coming back to Liverpool to look after her elderly mother after spending 36 years in New Zealand. The story was inspired by true events and my mother really was the last living survivor of the Bootle Co-op air shelter which received a direct hit on the night May 7, 1941.

“My mum died two years ago, but this book is dedicated to her. The story of the book is set in Bootle and Crosby. I was born in Park House nursing home in Waterloo and brought up in Bootle.

“I emigrated to New Zealand in 1975 and currently live in Auckland.

“The title of the book is taken from an old Celtic saying.

“When people were asked how they were, they used to reply 'still struggling between the immens-

ities’. The immensities are birth and death.

“As well as being an author, I am also a psychologist specialising in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and I wrote a book called Emotional Life four years ago which is more to do with my work as a therapist. My real love is writing novels, especially with a Liverpool flavour.”

Between the Immensities has been published by Book Guild and available for £8.99 from most bookshops, or via the website www.bookguild.co.uk

“Then one afternoon I got asked to come in for a meeting and they said they were going to give me a 12-month contract. I just broke down. I couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t thank them enough.”

Talking about his transfer to Oldham, Baxter said: “I’d love to stay at Everton for life. But I felt I’m at an age where I need to get back out playing in front of crowds in the Football League again.

“I’m going to do my coaching badges next year, and I’d love to be a part of Everton in the future, definitely — to get my point across to the kids, what I’ve been through.”

Outdated bins are replaced at Strand Report by Tom Martin FIVE new bins have been placed outside the Strand Shopping Centre and Hugh Baird College to help reduce litter.

The Champion has published a number of stories in recent months about litter and flytipping issues in Bootle, with MP Peter Dowd hitting out at those who dump rubbish in the town.

The new bins have been installed as part of a partnership between metal and plastic recycler, EMR and Bootle Action Group, a community group dedicated to picking up litter.

Founder of Bootle Action Group, Mike Brennan said: “We would like to thank EMR, who have funded the bins through our partnership with the company.

“The current ‘not fit for purpose’ bins outside the Stand and Hugh Baird have been replaced with these new bigger bins to help tackle the war on litter.

“Littering is a big issue in our town and I would ask everyone to put their litter in a bin or take it home. I am confident that these bins will encourage residents and visitors alike to act responsibly with their litter and keep Bootle clean and tidy.”

EMR general manager, Phil Hoare said: “At EMR we put a great deal of importance on supporting the communities that are close to our sites and we are

Man carrying tub of cannabis was given away by smell A BOOTLE man has been fined after he was caught carrying a tub of cannabis, the smell of which gave him away.

Luke McClean, 22, of Langsdale Street, was stopped by police on Ford Lane, Litherland, on August 30, as there was “a smell of cannabis coming from him”.

As he appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court on September 26, prosecutor Rob Youds said: “He admitted to having possession in his bag on him a tub of cannabis. He fully admitted that it was his.”

Mr Youds said McClean had been given 200

hours of unpaid work for drug driving in February.

Solicitor Natalie Byrne emphasised McClean’s cooperation with police and said that he had been trying to cut down on the drug.

“He has an ongoing issue with cannabis,” she said, “He says he was a heavy cannabis user but is taking steps to try and decrease his usage by himself. He is doing that off his own back without the intervention of the courts.”

The magistrates fined him £75 and ordered that he pay costs and victim surcharge of £115.

EMR general manager, Phil Hoare, Strand Shopping Centre manager, Rowland Parry, Bootle Action Group Founder, Mike Brennan and Bootle Action Group volunteers Ann Archer and Carol Seddon next to one of the new bins

delighted to have a partnership with an organisation that makes such a difference.

“We hope that installing the bins in these key locations will help reduce littering.”

EMR has donated over £2,500 to Bootle Action Group to replace damaged and run-down bins in the area, that have been criticised by locals for being outdated.

EMR launched a partnership with the group in 2017 to help clean up Bootle. As part of the partnership, EMR has committed to support large clean up events and projects across the town which have been scheduled throughout the year.

They have also provided hi vis jackets, safety equipment and warm clothing to keep the group

safe and warm while cleaning the town.

Strand Shopping centre manager, Rowland Parry said: “We were delighted to have teamed up with Bootle Action Group and EMR and grateful that these new bins have been provided for around the centre. Not only have they encouraged a tidier look to the exterior of the centre but have also provided a much needed safety aspect in the extinguishing of cigarette butts and thus reducing bin fires around the centre. We hope to continue our partnership with Bootle Action Group and EMR moving forward.”

The new bins feature the logos of both Bootle Action Group and EMR.

Kevin Dunne with David Simister at Aldi

Stem Cell charity raises £1,000 at supermarket in one day KINDHEARTED shoppers from a Netherton supermarket helped a charity raise nearly £1,000 in only one day of fundraising.

Volunteers from Stem Cell Scousers held an event last week at Aldi, on Park Lane, which raised £974 for the Anthony Nolan charity.

They were supported by the Myeloma UK's Merseyside and West Lancs support group, led by David Simister, and together they spoke with

more than 400 shoppers about their campaign.

Every year, around 2,000 people with blood cancer need a stem cell transplant as a last resort to treatment, but only around half find a lifesaving donor.

Founder of Stem Cell Scousers, Kevin Dunne, thanked shoppers and staff at Aldi for their efforts in helping the charity raise so much money.

MISTED WINDOWS? UPVC FAULTS?

BEFORE Organisers Karl Hughes and Donna Brannan with the Dunningsbridge squad who are based at the New Directions South Hub

Region’s players have a ball at disabled football tournament TEAMS from across Merseyside converged in Netherton for the 2018 New Directions Disability Football Tournament.

The event, which was held at Goals Football Centre, in Netherton, was hosted by Bootle-based social care provider New Directions and open to clubs from across the city region.

Eight teams took part in the six-a-side competition, with a team representing Skem Men-aces doing just enough to lift the trophy after a number of hard-fought games against strong opposition.

The other teams that took part were a second side from the Skelmersdale Skem Men-Aces club, Dunningsbridge who are based at the New Directions South Hub on Park Lane in Netherton and a team from Buzz Hub, the St Helens Coalition of Disabled People.

The line-up was completed by teams from disability support charities Phab Liverpool and Halewoodbased Your Voice Your Choice, Oakfield Day Service

in Liverpool and Kirkby Activity Centre.

The presentations were made by New Directions HR manager Adam Drury who congratulated all the teams on the competitive but fair way they had played throughout the tournament.

The event was organised by Karl Hughes and Donna Brannan of the New Directions South Hub who have worked to develop close links between the Dunningsbridge team and the Merseyside Disability Football Advisory Group.

As a result New Directions clients have received specialist coaching in the sport, and a Dunningsbridge team plays regularly in a local disability football league.

Karl Hughes said: “The day went very well and all the feedback I have received from players, coaches, officials and spectators has been very positive.

“We’re now hoping we can make the competition an annual event, and expand the size and scope of next year’s tournament.”

Merseyrail’s new trains to have free wifi - even in tunnels PASSENGERS on new trains arriving on the Merseyrail network in 2020 will be able to enjoy free internet access across the network – including in tunnels and underground stations such as Liverpool Central, Moorfields and Hamilton Square.

Thanks to wireless connectivity delivered by global electronHow the interior of the new ics company trains will look.

Panasonic, the trains will also be served by high-quality CCTV and voice links between the trains and Merseyrail’s control centre.

The first time it has been rolled out in the UK, Merseyrail bosses say this technology will help to ensure passenger safety across the network.

The system will also provide the control centre with data on the exact number of passengers on each train.

This information will ensure services can be better managed and the network can operate at optimum capacity – important at peak travel times or during the major sporting or cultural events which the Liverpool City Region regularly hosts.

The announcement of the new wireless technology follows the earlier unveiling of some key features of the new trains, including innovative sliding step technology which will make the Merseyrail network easily accessible to all users as well as plug and USB sockets and bike racks.

The trains are manufactured by Swiss company Stadler and are planned to be in service from 2020.

Cllr Liam Robinson, transport portfolio holder for the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, said: “We’re delighted to be working with Panasonic, industry-leaders in connected public transport technology, as part of what we hope will be a long-term partnership.

“The pioneering technology will help to enhance the safety and security of Merseyrail users. Wireless links between trains and our control centre will also allow us to manage capacity of the network – essential as the Liverpool City Region economy grows and demand increases.”

Simon Olorenshaw, Head of New Fleet Transition, Merseyrail, said: “Having this technology on our new trains will allow Merseyrail to ensure that our customers can stay connected throughout their whole journey whilst also having the added assurance that they will always be able to speak directly to someone should the need arise.

“We will also be able to manage our service effectively, particularly at times of peak usage, thus enhancing the levels of service we provide to the City Region.”

Weekly volunteer drop-in event launched in area NETHERTON residents will be able to find out more about hundreds of volunteering opportunities across Sefton at a regular new event in the area.

As part of Sefton Council’s 2018 Year of the Volunteer initiative, the Feelgood Factory and Volunteer Centre Sefton have joined forces to run a weekly dropin event to alert people to how rewarding volunteering can be.

The drop-ins take place every Monday between 10am and 4pm at the Feelgood Factory HQ on Glovers Lane in Netherton.

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 Netherton drop-in events, from groups

seeking green-fingered residents for gardening projects, to organisations looking for people who can support families in crisis or ex-offenders.

Philip Blocksidge, Sefton CVS Citizenship and Volunteer Worker, said: “Although we can provide a huge amount of information about volunteering online, these drop-ins are ideal for people who would prefer to discuss opportunities with someone face to face.

“We’re hoping that they attract a very good turnout.

Our message to all would-be volunteers is that communities across Sefton need your knowledge, skills and commitment.

“At the same time, volunteering is a great way for people to meet new people, make new friends and learn new skills.”

For more information about the Netherton volunteering drop-in events ring Volunteer Centre Sefton on 0151 920 0726, or email info@volunteeringsefton

Man in court for taking cash left behind at ATM A LITHERLAND man has been fined for taking £180 from a cash machine that a man had absent-mindedly left behind.

James Shacklady, 27, of Violet Road, pleaded guilty to theft by finding at Sefton Magistrates Court on September 26. The theft occurred at an ATM outside Bootle Asda store on March 9.

Rob Youds, prosecuting, said: “The complainant says that on the day in question he went to a cash machine and took out this money from an external cash machine. He took his bank card but left the money behind. Mr Shacklady was behind him and he has taken the money that was left. He did not make any attempt to notify the man who had left it.

“When the complainant came back the money had gone.”

Shacklady was apprehended by police when Asda’s security staff saw him on CCTV returning to the store the following day.

Mr Youds added: “He was initially going to be dealt with by restorative justice which meant he was given a period of time in which to pay the money to the complainant. He failed to do that.

Police say he did apologise to the victim at the end of an interview.”

The court heard Shacklady had 31 convictions for 76 offences, 24 of which were not paying a fare on the railway.

Solicitor Natalie Byrne said that it had been an unpleasant offence but one committed on impulse.

“Unfortunately he saw an opportunity,” she said, “At the time his finances were at an all time low. He was in a desperate situation; he was unable to pay for food for himself or his children.

“He was in some distress at the time. He just did not think about the consequences of his actions.

He acted on impulse, a decision that he now regrets.”

Ms Byrne said that Shacklady had failed to pay the victim back because police were asking £60 per month, which was more than he could afford.

She asked that he be given a conditional discharge and a compensation order as he would not have been punished had he been able to abide by the police arrangement.

The magistrates refused, however, and fined him £125 and made him pay compensation of £150 (he had already paid £30, the court heard). They also ordered that costs of £115 be paid.

Chairwoman Sharon Gill said: “We understand that you were desperate, but the victim may have been in the same situation as well. That is something we are bearing in mind.”

LETTERS to the Editor Rimrose Valley has to stay - an ode to a park Rimrose Valley has to stay, The people use it every day, Awide green space with nice long paths, Where native birds are taking baths.

A local place for people to go, Come rain or shine or the deepest snow.

Where painted rocks are hidden and found, And children search along the ground, Where locals have created art, The scouts garden looking smart.

Different creatures that call it home, Where many species like to roam, The stoat, the rabbit, the long eared bat, The hedgehog, the fox, so not just the rat. They want to take all this away, Replaced by noise all night and day, Replaced by dangerous toxic air, Where runners train and cyclists ride.

Leeds and Liverpool canal right by their How does this sound close to fair? side, Only one thing left to say School kids walk across each day, Rimrose Valley has to stay!

Rimrose Valley has to stay.

Where locals walk to get some peace, The open space is a great release,

Park users must consider people who live near docks I just had to write regarding the many letters that have been published in the Champion regarding Peel Ports, and the proposed link road through Rimrose Valley to cope with the increase in lorry traffic to the docks.

Also the one regarding 10,000 people who have signed a petition stating that the road will steal the health, peace and a vital green lung for south Sefton.

Whilst I have every sympathy for these people and agree, no one seems to consider those people living in the Waterloo area and especially those residents of Church Road.

These people are being subjected to more than 60 lorries per hour passing their properties.

One can’t imagine the noise and pollution they have to put up with.

I have been on this road at midnight and there are still lorries running pass these houses.

I might add that there are two schools on this road and the pollution must be causing harm to these children.

Finally this extension to the Port was first muted more than 12 years ago.

I personally went to see my MP regarding this and at the time nobody seemed very interested in what the consequences would be.

Had all these objections been started then perhaps Highways England could have been forced to build a tunnel, which is obviously the best answer.

Make ‘eyesore’ site a wild flower garden Re: The ‘eyesore’ wasteland site at Stafford Moreton Way in Maghull.

I see that probably the last wild area in Maghull has been cleared and the grass and other vegetation cut down to the roots.

No wonder that all insect life is fast disappearing.

I expect that it will be concreted over to make yet more space for car parking.

Wouldn’t it have been possible to use the land for a wild flower garden?

Rat-running is more common now Edge Lane is one-way What was the point?

Sefton Council recently carried out a rearrangement to The Crescent access road on the corner of Moor Lane and Edge Lane (opposite Aldi).

The road is now one way to Moor Lane.

When the work started I guessed that the council was finally doing something about the ratrunning through the access road.

This rat-running is more common now as some motorists coming from the Brooms Cross island, use the empty inside lane and then manoeuvre through the access road to re-join Moor Lane thereby significantly jumping the queue.

It’s very frustrating waiting for my left turn at the lights, time after time, while watching many

motorists ‘whizzing’ through without waiting at all.

Clearly this uncontrolled flow is adding to the congestion in Moor Lane.

It’s not unreasonable to expect the exit from the access road to be controlled by the traffic light system and this would remove any advantage of the rat-running.

It wouldn’t be difficult or expensive to do.

The council have achieved almost nothing with the work they’ve done and the problem continues!

We are here to support people with Alzheimer’s Did your readers know that Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia, with 850,000 people living with dementia in the UK? That’s one person every three minutes. As this month we mark World Alzheimer’s Day, I’d like to share a little more about our work supporting couples and families living with the condition.

Couples like husband and wife David and Rhoda.

David is the sole carer for his wife Rhoda who has Alzheimer ’s.

Adjusting to life as the sole carer for Rhoda was difficult for David and not being able to have a conversation with Rhoda or spend quality time together as husband and wife became overwhelming.

Unpaid carers supporting someone with dementia save the economy billions of pounds per year.

That’s why we’re passionate to do everything we can to support carers like David and those that they lovingly care for to take a break and enjoy some time away from their everyday routines.

I work for Revitalise, a wonderful charity that provides respite holidays for disabled people and carers at our Sandpipers respite holiday centre in Southport.

We are also proud to be the UK’s leading experts in providing respite holidays for people with Alzheimer ’s and dementia through our specialist Alzheimer ’s weeks.

Every aspect of our unique Alzheimer’s weeks have been designed with our guests in mind, giving carers the opportunity to place the care of their loved ones in expert hands and to simply take time to relax and enjoy quality time with the one they love.

For more information about Revitalise, our specialist Alzheimer’s weeks, or to help us to support even more people like David and Rhoda, please visit: www.revitalise.org.uk or call 0303 303 0145.

Please don’t leave bins on the path!

Just a note to Sefton Council and bin operatives.

Could you kindly put people’s bins safely back where you found them, instead of leaving them in the middle of the pavement where they are obstructing prams and disabled people.

It’s not much to ask, especially as you wouldn’t actually take the bins to the wagon if they where left we you leave them.

Overgrown allotments are ~ Welcome Home ~ being ignored OFFER OF THE WEEK Now partnered with by the council I just wanted to respond to your article regarding vacant overgrown allotment plots in Sefton I live in a house which backs onto Sherwood Road allotments in Waterloo and since I moved here I have been in ongoing contact with Sefton Council regarding the overgrown mess at the bottom of our garden.

I’ve lived here about three years and the plot was wild when we moved in.

Despite our complaints and despite there being a waiting list of more than one hundred people for these plots we haven’t seen one person working on the allotment and nothing has been done to clear the overgrowth or debris including a couple of smashed up greenhouses.

We are constantly fobbed off or ignored by the council.

The last reply we received was back in October 2017 telling us once again that someone had taken over the plot - and again here we are almost a year later with an even worse view from the window and our complaints being ignored.

Please get someone in who can properly manage this allotment Sefton Council.

Abbie shocked at response to fundraising walk idea Report by Tom Martin A BOOTLE teenager who decided to organise a fundraising walk in memory of her grandparents was left “amazed” after more than 2,000 took part!

Abbie Hughes, 17, held a Liverpool Night Memory Walk at Aintree Racecourse on Saturday, September 29 and she was shocked when so many people turned up to get involved.

The Hugh Baird College student was also joined by Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram, who wanted to show his support because the cause is close to his heart.

Abbie was inspired to fundraise for the Alzheimer’s Society after her grandmother and grandad both passed away after battling dementia.

She said: “My nan Ann died with dementia when I was just nine and her husband Jimmy Hughes died with the disease earlier this year.

Nan had a heart of gold, she put everyone before herself, and grandad was a real gentleman – I was heartbroken by what happened.

“I wanted to help raise awareness of the disease and I was amazed to be with 2,000 people united against dementia. It’s a real privilege to cut the ribbon to start everyone on their way.”

Metro Mayor Steve Rotherham said: “My mum had dementia in her final years and I’ve seen its impact first hand.

“As a result of the work of the Alzheimer’s Society there is much more awareness of the disease than there was then.

“It’s heartening that so many people of all ages are fighting day and night to raise money to help the charity to fund research. Seeing Abbie leading the way is brilliant and the number of walkers at Aintree shows how

Pupil awarded for volunteering A CROSBY pupil has been awarded for his hard work in volunteering at his school’s farm.

Kian Halliwell has been given the School Farms Student Leadership Award 2018 for his efforts in looking after the animals kept at the farm at St Michael's High School.

The 16-year-old had been helping out for the last four years when he was a pupil at the school, buying fruit and vegetables for the animals.

The awards are organised by the School Farms Network.

powerful the impact of dementia is on families.

“We have more than 18,294 people living with dementia in Merseyside and every single person taking part in Memory Walk is moving us a step closer to building a better future for all of us. We are united in the fight to defeat the disease.”

Steve Green, Alzheimer’s Society operations manager, said: “As well as the people who joined Abbie we also had a day-time Liverpool Memory Walk making the total number of walkers 5,000.

“Dementia devastates lives; it slowly strips people of memories, relationships and identities.

“People across Merseyside again stepped

out to fight to change things.

“Every pound raised will help us to provide information and support, fund research and create lasting change for people affected by dementia.

“Thank you to all the supporters – night and day - who have made this year’s walks a huge success.”

Alzheimer’s Society chief executive officer Jeremy Hughes, who also attended the walk, said the society is committed to spending at least £150 million over the next decade on dementia research, improving care for people today and finding a cure for tomorrow.

This year, Memory Walk aims to raise £9million nationally and bring together more than 110,000 walkers across the generations.

Psychiatrist crashed her car while drink driving A CONSULTANT child psychiatrist from Crosby has pleaded guilty to drink driving and failing to stop after an accident.

Dr Avni Jitendra Patel, 43, of Roehampton Drive, appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court on September 19.

Prosecutor Lynn Clark said that a witness had seen Patel’s Audi A3 driving along Manor Road in Crosby at 6.20pm on June 8 with smoke coming from it and damage showing it had been involved in a collision.

The witness saw a Renault Clio that had been shunted onto the pavement.

Dr Patel returned to the car, and drove home.

When police arrived at Dr Patel’s address, she smelt of alcohol and admitted she had been drinking. She also had a head injury and was taken to Aintree Hospital While at hospital blood tests showed she had been over the drink drive limit.

Barrister Steve Nikolich said Dr Patel had bipolar affective disorder and had taken medication on the day.

Magistrates sentenced her to an eight-week 7pm to 7am curfew, and to pay £170 in costs and banned her from driving for 24 months.

Gareth takes to the water at Loch Lomond.

Gareth braves chilly waters of Loch Lomond to raise £1,500 for Plaza Cinema Report by Tom Martin A SWIMMER has raised nearly £1,500 for the Plaza Cinema after braving the chilly waters of Loch Lomond in Scotland.

Gareth Williams took on the swimming challenge when he dived into The Trossachs National Park lake and swam around 1.5miles from Inversnaid to Inveruglas.

He has helped raise £1,471 which will be donated to the Waterloo-based cinema, where he used to be a volunteer.

Gareth said: “The weather was dry but overcast and there was a slight wind which made the conditions quite challenging.

“There were some quite large waves which made the swim more difficult that had been anticipated and quite a strong current which pushed you further north, meaning that instead of swimming a mile and a half in a straight line, it was more in a curve.

“It was a relief to get to the beach on the other side, where I spent the afternoon relaxing with friends and family and enjoyed a few well earned beers!

“I am really pleased with the generosity of the people that have supported me and I raised a lot more than my target of £1,000.

“I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who supported me, my family and friends for their support on the day and to the staff at the Plaza Cinema for organising the publicity.”

Waterfront firework display set to return Tens of thousands of people expected to free spectacle Report by Tom Martin LAST year's firework display at Liverpool’s waterfront is back by popular demand and will be held on Sunday, November 4.

River of Light: The Elements will see the return of Titanium Fireworks, who wowed crowds last year with a jaw dropping display.

Tens of thousands of people are expected to line the waterfront in Liverpool and New Brighton for the free spectacle, which will act as the finale for the China Dream season, part of the city’s 2018 cultural programme.

Fireworks will be set off from the water’s edge and huge barges floating on the Mersey, and will be accompanied by a soundtrack played from key areas and venues along the waterfront.

There will be a series of arts installations themed around the five elements that underpin Chinese philosophy: water, fire, earth, metal and wood.

People are advised to attend from 5pm before the fireworks start at 6.30pm.

Liverpool’s Deputy Mayor and cabinet member for culture, tourism and events, Councillor Wendy Simon, said: “We are delighted to be once again working with Titanium, who have an unsurpassed reputation and brought the wow-factor to the waterfront last year.

“We had an overwhelmingly positive

A NEW visitor attraction will be opened inside Liverpool’s Royal Liver Building next year with public tours of the 15th floor of the famous landmark.

‘Royal Liver Building 360’ will bring guided public tours and will begin in a new lower ground floor visitor centre, before continuing to the 10th and 15th floors of the 321ft building where guests will enjoy spectacular views across the city and River Mersey.

Operated by Heritage Great Britain, the tour will also take guests inside the building’s famous clock tower where they can watch an immersive audiovisual experience, projected digitally

onto the walls around them.

Allan Leech, chief executive officer of Heritage Great Britain, said: “Heritage Great Britain is unlocking this city icon and bringing it back to life for tourists and residents to enjoy.

“Guests will enjoy interactive displays, including a cutting-edge audiovisual presentation in the clock tower showcasing the history and culture of the city.

“Stunning 360° open air views across the Liverpool skyline and River Mersey make this an unforgettable bucket-list experience for locals and tourists alike.”

Call for improvements to be made at offenders rehabilitation service Report by Tom Martin A REHABILITATION service which supervises more than 6,500 low and medium-risk offenders in Merseyside needs to improve, according to a new report.

Merseyside Community Rehabilitation Company (CRC), which is located in Waterloo, was assessed recently by Her Majesty ’s Inspectorate of Probation.

The CRC supervises offenders aged 18 and over in the community who are sentenced by the court to either a community order or suspended sentence.

Inspectors found domestic abuse and safeguarding checks were often seen by the CRC as administrative tasks, rather than crucial work to keep people safe.

Opportunities to identify and assess risks were sometimes missed, for example when people on probation started new relationships or moved in with partners who have children.

When probation staff did identify potential risks, they did not routinely conduct home visits, which are used so officials can understand whether other people living at the property – including children – are in

danger. The report did find that the CRC is performing well in some areas. Staff were found to be hard-working and committed to delivering the best possible service, despite a lack of resources. The inspection also found services for women under probation supervision were “impressive”.

As a result, HM Inspectorate of Probation has given Merseyside CRC a ‘Requires Improvement’ rating.

Chief Inspector of Probation Dame Glenys Stacey said: “Merseyside CRC needs to give priority to public safety. We recommend they look again at how they manage risk, and equip staff with the skills and knowledge to keep actual and potential victims safe.”

Dame Glenys said: “It is vital that probation staff build strong, challenging and trusting relationships with the people they supervise. Staff need to work together with individuals to create plans that address why they

offended and put steps in place to prevent further offending.”

Inspectors were encouraged to find the leadership team had already started to address some critical issues, such as redeploying staff to cover absences.

Merseyside CRC was also found to deliver some good services to help people under supervision to find work, training, education and accommodation.

Support for people leaving prison and resettling in the community – known as Through the Gate – showed promise.

Chris Edwards, chief executive of the Merseyside Community Rehabilitation Company, said: “We welcome the HMIP report that has been published which recognises that the CRC ‘has clear strengths and is performing well’.

“The report did highlight some areas where we need to improve, and we are dedicated to addressing those areas as quickly as possible.”

Plans put forward for dog boarding kennels

Like most British people I find peace in the Olden Days JUST occasionally something gets me thinking.

And one such something in recently weeks - was the rather excellent ‘Ian Hislop’s Olden Days’ series on BBC2.

It was a fascinating insight to the British psyche.

His premise was that we have for many years retreated into an often idealised and sometimes totally fantasised version of our history as a way of escaping the unpleasant present.

From a totally fictional King Arthur, his knights, round table and magicians, to very much rose-tinted versions of our pastoral past, we love to hark back to different times in this green and pleasant land of ours.

In truth I do often hark back to past times - though in my case more to the early years of my own life - the late 1940s to early '60s - with sometimes excursions back to what I perceive the 1930s were like for good measure.

As Ian Hislop suggested, I find some sort of peace back in what I suppose I tend to think of as ‘The Good Old Days.’

Yet, if I am honest I realise my memories of a golden past era are probably flawed.

I long ago I realised that when you look at some old photos of, say, a village taken around 1900 or so, the cottages, walls and gates look far more run down then than they do if the corresponding buildings survive today!

But yet, I honestly do think many things (and even attitudes) were probably better in my youth than now.

For example, near where I live is the tiny village of Sefton. It is still tiny, though the building of several very attractive homes has probably doubled its population.

But when I was even a teenager Sefton village was home to a tiny shop near to the church.

I’m not sure what this little emporium sold - though I know it included sweets - but so far as I, and my school friends were concerned, its great attraction was that it sold lemonade and paper packets of five Wills Woodbine cigarettes.

Now obviously today this would be a Bad Thing but not to us lads at the time it wasn't!

But it’s not the loss of this outlet for five ciggies that I mourn - it’s that I cannot imagine a shop such as that existing anywhere in the UK today.

Come to think, I'd be interested to know how anybody made a living out of it even then - perhaps the shop was just a sideline for some family to make a few extra shillings?

In truth though, as I’ve mentioned before in this column, I do very much regret the changing face of our villages.

I notice it most on my holiday trips to Norfolk, perhaps because even in the relatively short intervals between my visits there, sometimes quite large changes have taken place.

Local pubs close all the time, rural Post Offices ditto, bus services often only run a couple of days a week rather than several times a day, railway lines have disappeared - or converted into roads carrying the ever increasing car traffic.

So yes, I know just where Ian Hislop was coming from.

It is somehow reassuring to be able to amble down a country footpath on a balmy afternoon, and see nothing but green fields, trees and the occasional cottage.

And just hear birds, insects rather than the drone of traffic.

You can imagine a long-lost past where old men smoking pipes lounge in the sun outside a country inn.

And what of it if most of this is indeed fantasy?

It surely can’t be such a bad thing to escape the world of i-Pods and internet banking - I wonder where all the Mr Mainwarings work now?

A few years ago you could go to see your bank manager.

Just try arguing with a computer!

Sefton’s coroner steps down after 20 years’ service THE senior coroner of Sefton has retired from his post after 20 years service.

Christopher Sumner, 75, took up the role on October 10, 1998 and following two decades as senior coroner for Sefton, St Helens and Knowsley, is stepping aside to enjoy his retirement.

Mr Sumner started his working life as a teacher at Croxteth Comprehensive School after studying at Durham University.

A career in law beckoned and he completed his articles at Goldrein & Company Solicitors in Liverpool and continued in criminal law in the city.

He later moved to Southport and worked within different legal firms before opening his own practice within the resort.

From there he become senior coroner for Sefton, St Helens and Knowsley and has presided over more than 5,100 inquests.

A coroner is an Independent Judicial Officer empowered to enquire into sudden, unnatural or violent deaths.

Among the inquests Mr Sumner presided over was that of Moors Murderer Ian Brady whom Mr Sumner ruled died of natural causes. He made his ruling at an inquest at Bootle Town Hall in September last year. At an earlier

hearing Mr Sumner refused to release Brady’s body before he was given assurances the killer’s ashes would not be spread on Saddleworth Moor - where the remains of four of Brady and Myra Hindley’s five child victims were found. Mr Sumner was also

the senior coroner at the inquest of Peter Wilson, 24, the brother of Lynsey Quy who, the inquest heard, never got over the trauma of losing his sister who was just 21 when she was murdered by husband Mitchell in December 1998.

On stepping down, Mr Sumner said: “It has been a real honour to be senior coroner for 20 years serving bereaved families at the most difficult of times.

“My role is to help establish how people have died, and during my time I hope I have been able to give families answers and some form of closure following the loss of a loved one.”

In his spare time Christopher, who is a member at Hillside Golf Club, and a keen Everton fan, dedicated more than 30 years to the Scouts Association working in various roles within Southport and became the district commissioner for Formby Scouts.

He has been a member of Southport Links Rotary Club for more than 25 years and became the district governor of District 1180 which covered the whole of North Wales, Cheshire, Wirral, Liverpool up to Southport.

Graham Jackson will become the acting senior coroner for Sefton, St Helens and Knowsley.

Hospital apprentices urge others to follow in their footsteps Report by Tom Martin TWO apprentices who trained at Aintree University Hospital are encouraging others to follow in their footsteps Amy Garcia, 20, from Walton and Louise Lee, 24, from Netherton, both took a 12-month Level 2 Apprenticeship at Aintree, which now has the largest number of apprentices of any NHS organisation in Merseyside and Cheshire.

Amy, who studied healthcare, has now secured her place in a formal nursing training course and Louise, who learnt the ropes of Business Administration, is taking further steps to ensure her future lies at Aintree.

Both hope their success inspires other young people considering a career in the NHS to opt for an Amy Garcia and Louise Lee apprenticeship.

Possession of drugs costs man £315 A MAN from Litherland has been made to pay more than £300 after being found in possession of cannabis and cocaine.

As Christopher Clarkson, 29, of Cumpsty Road, appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court on September 26 it was heard that he was in a property in Netherton searched by police executing a search warrant on February 22.

Rob Youds, prosecuting, said that he was found with eight wraps of cocaine, and three wraps of cannabis, both “consistent with personal use.”

Mr Youds informed the court that Clarkson had 14 convictions for 19 offences, eight of which are in relation to drugs.

Solicitor Stuart Nolan representing Clarkson said: “He is a recreational drug user, otherwise he maintains a reasonable lifestyle.”

Mr Nolan said the magistrates may want to consider sentencing Clarkson to a rehabilitation order with probation service due to his record but asked them to consider a fine in the first instance.

The magistrates agreed to fine him a total of £200 and ordered costs and victim surcharge of £115.

Rob talks about his friendship with author Interview by Henry James PEOPLE will be able to find out what happens to Helen Forrester after Twopence to Cross The Mersey, in a new stage play, which opens at the Liverpool Empire tonight (Wednesday).

By The Waters of Liverpool has been brought to the stage by Rob Fennah who wrote both the stage play and musical versions of Two Pence to Cross The Mersey.

He said: “We wanted to conclude the tale for those people who were asking what happens next. I wrote the By The Waters of Liverpool stage play and thought it would be a good idea to take it to where it all began, which was the Liverpool Empire.

“Helen Forrester loved the theatre and in particular the Empire.

“There is a cast of 10 playing 60 characters, so it is a big show.

There is also a wonderful set and no expense has been spared.”

Twopence to Cross The Mersey has been seen by more than 170,000 people since it was premiered. Rob explained a bit about the new show: “Audiences will be able to see the book that they know come to life. Every single character from the book is on the stage. Our production has been put together with the full authorisation of Helen’s family.

Helen’s son came to see the stage play of Twopence to Cross The Mersey two years ago.”

Rob met Helen in the 1990s and the pair immediately hit it

off. He commented: “When we met I was in my leather gear and Helen was in her tweeds. I refer to it as when leather met tweed.

She was in her late 70s and I was in my late 20s. We were definitely on the same page.

“Helen was speaking at a literary lunch and I had used one of the phrases from Twopence to Cross The Mersey as the title for a song. It was the line when she described her father as a 'butterfly in the rain'. I was asked to perform the song for her and she really enjoyed it.

“I asked her if I could adopt her book and I was surprised that noone else had had a go at it. She said you can but on the condition that I like it. She did like it and came to the premiere at the Liverpool Empire Theatre and gave it a

big thumbs up and it was a big success.

“She knew what she wanted.

People moan today about how difficult it is for women to get on but imagine what it was like in the 1930s. It was incredibly difficult. Helen was taken out of school and she had no formal education and yet she went on to become this hugely successful author. It does not matter what life throws at you. If you have huge will and determination you can get through it.”

So why are Helen Forrester's stories so popular? Rob added: “I think they are so popular because they are as relevant today as they have always been.”

By The Waters of Liverpool will be on at the Empire until Saturday, October 13.

Peter Kay and Lee Evans’ favourite appearing at resort’s comedy club PETER Kay and Lee Evans favourite, Steve Harris, will be at the LOL Comedy Club in October.

The Laugh Out Loud Comedy Club will be held on Saturday, October 6 at 8pm at the Atkinson.

Steve Harris first leapt on stage back in August 1998 and it took not one, or two but three attempts at performing his first gig at XSMalarkey (then Scruffy Murphy's) in Fallowfield before he actually conjured up the bottle to get on stage, and within three months had won himself the coveted North-West comedian of the year award after just five gigs.

He also became a finalist of the BBC new comedy awards and Channel 4’s “So you think you’re funny” in the same year.

Steve went on to headline all of the top comedy clubs in the UK including venues as far flung as Hong Kong and Australia.

With his ever-expanding reputation the demand for Steve has come from all different types of media outlets including Radio and Television.

With support slots with the likes of Johnny Vegas, Peter Kay and Lee Evans, Steve comes highly recommended from the heavyweights of comedy themselves.

He has been described as having a very warm nature and comedic ability which comes from

his flexibility, he can certainly sort out heckles and keep an audience of any walk of life laughing and entertained. Seeing the self-assured pro gagster he is now, it's hard to believe that Steve Harris’ stand up career very nearly didn't happen.

Jarred Fell is also appearing along with Heidi Regan.

Damion Larkin will MC the night.

Sam Kane returning to town for this year’s panto SOUTHPORT Theatre’s sights are firmly focused on their magical family pantomime Beauty and the Beast.

The show stars Sam Kane as Eugene, Jason MarcWilliams as Dame Kimmy Shoo, Alistair Barron as Simon, Toni Howard as Beauty, Joshua Ford as Prince / Beast and David Gilbrook as Cedric, Beauty ’s father. Recently a number of the cast were getting in to the panto spirit at the photo shoot.

Jason said: “Having worked with Sam, Alistair and Toni last year it was great to be reunited with them again at the shoot. We had each other in stitches within minutes and I now cannot wait for rehearsals to begin.”

Alistair added: “I am delighted to be back in Southport again this year. I loved playing Ugly last year but I am quite relieved in a way to be playing comic again as there aren’t so many costume changes!”

Playing the role of Eugene, which is similar to Gaston in the Disney version, ticks a massive box for Sam. “I think it is one of the best roles in theatre and I am delighted to finally be playing the part. Eugene is both a villain and a comic so is a

great challenge and a lot of fun.”

Toni Howard is thrilled to be returning, having played Cinderella in last year’s smash hit show.

“Beauty is going to be a fantastic role as she is clever, kind and strong willed. I love the way she stands up to the Beast and the way that their relationship develops.”

This is Joshua Ford’s first pantomime in Southport and he is already threatening to sneak his costume in to his bag at the end of the run. “I just love the purple coat that I get to wear as Prince – the whole costume is great. I haven’t seen the Beast costume yet so really looking forward to finding out what that is like.”

David Gilbrook has been busy touring the UK this year and is looking forward to spending a few weeks by the seaside. “I played the role of Beauty’s father in Beauty and the Beast in Newark last year and so I am delighted to be asked to reprise it in Southport this Christmas. I just love the show as it has romance, adventure, great musical numbers as well as lots of traditional panto humour – it really is a beauty of a show!”

Beauty and the Beast will be presented at the Southport theatre from December 14 - 30.

Hit West End show can be seen in north west THE widely-anticipated Matilda The Musical has finally arrived in Manchester for a 11-week run at the Palace Theatre and to mark the occasion, Scarlett Cecil who is one of the four young actresses sharing the title role, popped down to Manchester Central Library to strike the iconic Matilda pose in front of the landmark city-centre building.

Sophia Ally, Annalise Bradbury, Scarlett Cecil and Nicola Turner will share the title role of Matilda in Manchester.

The adult cast includes Craige Els who, having played Miss Trunchbull in the West End for three years from 2014 to 2017, has returned to the role for the UK and Ireland tour.

Sefton Council in partnership with Sefton CVS has dedicated 2018 as the Year of the Volunteer!

Following on from the huge success of the Year of the Coast, the tireless work of Sefton’s thousands of volunteers, who give thousands of hours of their time each week, is being celebrated in a year long campaign to raise awareness of how much volunteers do for the borough. Volunteers make a real difference in Sefton. They touch people’s lives in so many different ways, providing comfort and support, fostering community development, and actively helping to keep Sefton clean, green and beautiful. Volunteering also has a positive impact on the health and wellbeing of those who participate in it. To learn more about the Year of the Volunteer and how to get involved visit www.volunteeringsefton.org.uk

Animal Shelter Teams Up With Foodbanks for YOV

Bootle-Based YKids Is On The Look Out For Volunteers!

Volunteers Needed To Create A Real Buzz In Formby!

Formby based Freshfields Animal Rescue are working with volunteers at various Sefton food banks to provide additional support to vulnerable animals.

Food Banks are fulfilling a vital role in today’s society, providing a lifeline for people who are in need of the most immediate and urgent help to care for their families.

Most roles are children & youth work focused and YKids is particularly looking for people who have time in the evenings- ideally at least one day per week.

This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone who has, or is looking to work in education to help in its after schools program.

An appeal has been launched, via B 4 Biodiversity & the Sefton Year of the Volunteer campaign, to find fresh faced volunteers who would love to get involved with Formby’s very own beehive.

For more information on this opportunity please visit the website featured at the bottom of this advert.

Andrea Ku of B 4 Biodiversity works closely with Formby Library to maintain a special apiary within the Duke Street site as part of the Beehive and Bookworms project.

Scouting For Volunteers Church Heritage Project Needs Volunteers Thanks to a Heritage Lottery Fund grant, St Nicholas’ Church in Blundellsands are launching a new project.

The grant will help St Nicholas’ to extend its role as a heritage centre and community resource. A team of volunteers will support this work, by promoting the church’s heritage at public events, acting as guides for visitors and helping in the church’s new refreshment area.

Become a Clean-up Champion April is the Year of the Volunteer’s Clean, Green and Beautiful environment month, where we celebrate volunteers who help keep our borough beautiful.

The 22 miles spanning between Southport and Seaforth are some of the most iconic, idyllic and important stretches of coastline in the UK but it takes a lot of work to make our coastline the sandy success that it is!

www.mysefton.co.uk For more information and all volunteering opportunities

Southport District Scouts are currently looking to fill two strategic voluntary positions. Southport District covers Ainsdale through to Crossens, and Southport District Scouts provides a programme of activities and learning experiences for over 200 young people across the area.

Of course, these activities can only be delivered with the support of adult volunteers in a variety of roles.

Food Banks & Anti Poverty Each month the Year of the Volunteer campaign focuses on a special theme, and some of the areas that we will look to highlight soon include Health & Wellbring and Youth Volunteering. We’ve been catching up with a number of volunteer organisations and individuals, including South Sefton Foodbank and Lakeside Foodbank, Southport, who regularly spend hundreds of hours each month to help families and those in need of emergency food supplies.

But how can you get involved?

A dedicated ‘hub’ for volunteers past, present and future has been set up at:

www.volunteeringSefton.org.uk It has the very latest events, news and information you need to find the perfect opportunity for you.

‘I don’t want to sleepwalk into a world of dull, plug-in hybrid crossovers with no enjoyment’

THERE were a couple of confused-looking faces in the audience as Lotus’ new boss laid out his plans.

Last weekend I was at the company ’s factory in Norfolk for its 70th anniversary party – and while the place was packed with Esprits, Elises and Evoras the focus was just as much on what the new chief exec had to say about the sports car specialist’s future.

Feng Qingfeng has been instilled at the top of the Lotus tree by its new Chinese owners – and they’ll be investing heavily in making sure it carried on innovating. In clever design, hybrid technology, and, er, autonomous driving.

The sports car faithful shrugged their shoulders at that last bit. Why would the company that brought us the Elan Sprint – and the Europa Twin Cam, the Esprit Sport 300 and the Evora S for that matter - be ploughing its know-how into cars that do the fun bit for you?

I scratched my head a bit too. Chucking an Elise at a corner and marvelling at how wonderfully connected its steering and suspension make you feel to the action is just about as petrolhead as you can get.

David wants Lotus involvement in greener motoring

The one thing that defines every Lotus is how all that clever tech makes it revel in a decent road. Which, actually, is why you’d want Lotus to stick its oar in when autonomous driving’s concerned. We’re on the cusp of an era of electrically-powered cars that are entirely different to ones a lot of us have grown up with, but while they’re safer and cleaner than ever before they’re also heavier, bulkier and as a result more dim-witted when conditions get a bit dicey.

If we aren’t careful we’ll end up sleepwalking into a world of technologically brilliant, but tremendously dull, plug-in hybrid crossovers that have engineered all the enjoyment out.

In the battle for clever, greener motoring I’d definitely want the chaps who brought us a 170mph Vauxhall Carlton fighting our corner.

When Lotus weren’t racing in Formula One and building Emma Peel’s wheels of choice they were sprinkling their engineering know-how into everyday cars, and I reckon they ’ve got a big part to play in making sure that tomorrow ’s cars go around corners properly. So please, Mr Qingfeng, let’s get Lotus doing its bit.

Although a new Esprit would be lovely too, now that you mention it…

Bucks struggle to pose a goal threat in second defeat 1874 Northwich 2 Bootle 1 BOOTLE suffered their second league defeat of the season - and in truth, the opening 45 minutes was as about as bad as it gets for the Bucks, writes Connor O’Neill.

They were static, careless in possession and posed a minimal threat going forward.

So minimal in fact, that ‘74 goalkeeper Matt Green didn’t have a save to make.

At the other end it was another story, as Bootle goalkeeper Jack McGovern produced a string of fine saves.

First, he denied McGowan before getting down low to push away Taylor Kennerley's effort.

And after also saving from Kazim Waite-Jackson, the Bucks stopper produced his best save to deny Matty Russell. Kennerley advanced down the right before his deep cross found Russell whose firsttime volley was superbly pushed round the post by McGovern.

Eight minutes before the interval, and McGovern was finally beaten.

After only managing to parry Waite-Jackson's effort Kennerley reacted quickest to fire the rebound home from close-range.

Whatever Bucks boss Phil Stafford said at half time certainly worked as his side came back out in a totally different manner, and their improvement was rewarded when Andrew Gillespie drew them level on 49 minutes.

Ste Milne collected Ben Jago crossfield ball on the right before whipping in a low cross that was swept home by the unmarked Gillespie.

But despite dominating possession the Bucks struggled to carve out any more clear openings.

With 11 minutes to play, they were made to pay.

Waite-Jackson dribbled his way past both Lee McConchie and Jago down the right, before firing in a low cross that was turned home by the unmarked McGowan at the back post.

Thomson on target again for Maghull Ellesmere Port 2 Maghull 2 MAGHULL ended a run of three consecutive defeats at Ellesmere Port last Saturday when they shared four goals and the points with Vauxhall Motors in the first division of the West Cheshire League.

Joe Burns’ team has now slipped to fourth place in the league but only a single point separates the top five places in the table which is now headed by Greasby based outfit Newton.

Dave Thomson was again on target for the second successive Saturday for Maghull with Ryan

Stamper getting the other goal.

Maghull Reserves were in action in the Haworth & District Bowl first round when they entertained Ashville Reserves.

Will McFerran score twice from the spot for the visitors but his contribution was in vain after Maghull progressed when Paul Bennett, Jay Dooley and Sam Lawrenson netted in a 3-2 success.

On Saturday Maghull travel to Upton for a West Cheshire League first division encounter whilst at Old Hall Field the Reserves entertain current second division leaders Heswall. Both matches kick off at 3pm.

Chris Doyle volleys home Marine’s second goal from the edge of the penalty area. Pictures by Susan Nugent.

Doyle’s wonder strike sets Mariners on way to home win of season Marine 3 Hednesford Town 1 MARINE recorded their first home league win of the season as they claimed a deserved victory.

Manager Neil Young made one change to the starting eleven which earned a point at Workington last Tuesday as Steven Irwin replaced Ged Kinsella in midfield.

A delayed kick-off due to the Staffordshire club's late arrival in Crosby didn't deter the Whites who began brightly, and took a deserved lead in the 15th minute as Irwin's cross allowed Danny Mitchley to fire a shot which was blocked by a defender, the ball ricocheting to Craig Carney who sent a sweetly-struck volley into the net from the edge of the box.

Visiting midfielder King flicked a headed effort from a short corner which dropped a couple of yards over Martin Fearon's cross- Marine players celebrate Doyle’s goal. bar, but the same player made no mistake 57th minute when centre back Chris Doyle nine minutes before the break as he on the edge of the area, controlled a ball glanced home at the near-post from expertly with his chest before volleying another quadrant-kick despite Fearon's low past Bursik's despairing dive in front of the delighted home support. best efforts.

Good work in the final third by Irwin and The Mariners began the second half on the front foot and regained the lead in the Finlay Sinclair-Smith saw the young

winger regain possession and square for Carney to curl a firsttime effort from 20 yards which flew inches wide of Bursik's upright with the 'keeper rooted to the spot.

The Pitmen almost forced an equaliser just after the hour mark as Archer arrowed a low shot which Fearon parried smartly.

As the game became stretched in the final five minutes, the referee waved away vehement appeals for a penalty in another Hednesford attack, whilst at the other end Mitchley's strike narrowly cleared the angle of post and crossbar.

The Mariners sealed a muchneeded victory in the 87th minute as Mitchley did well to hold off a defender before hooking the ball across goal from the by-line, substitute James Murray arriving to take a touch and fire a shot which the well-placed assistant deemed to have crossed the goalline despite the best efforts of a defender.

The Whites almost added a fourth goal as Murray fed fellow substitute Josh Hine who brought a strong parry from Bursik.

Marine were due to host Stafford Rangers last night (Tuesday) and visit Conference North side Brackley Town in an FA Cup tie on Saturday.

Waterloo need to learn lessons from defeat Douglas 34 Firwood Waterloo 16 FIRWOOD Waterloo were beaten 34-16 in the Isle of Man on Saturday.

Never an easy place to go and so it proved as Firwood Waterloo went down 34-16 away to Douglas in the Isle of Man Early start for an early kick off did not help yet head coach Stuart Turner was quite sanguine about the result.

“They are a very good side with a lot of pace in their backline especially the back three who caused us problems every time they had the

ball, "he stated . "Their pack was probably the best we have come up against with a very intelligent and superb pair of flankers at 6 and 7. They ruled the breakdown and starved us of possession for long periods throughout the game.

“Unfortunately when we had the ball we tended to rush and get over excited when a little more patience with the ball in hand would have paid better dividends," he continued.

“Yet there were times when we did look good and perhaps with a bit more possession the result would have been much closer.

“We need to go away and look at this game and see where we need to improve."

Clare House, 166 Lord Street, Southport PR9 0QA

Although still well within the game at 10-6 courtesy of two penalties from Dara O'Brien to a converted try and a penalty, the visitors lost second row Jake Hawkins which created problems in the pack.

“Losing Jake was a massive loss as far a our lineout was concerned as it cut down a number of options but I don't think it really affected the final result,"Turner confessed.

“It is again something we need to look at.”

Just before half time there was an exchange of penalties O'Brien successful for Firwood Waterloo for 13-9 at the interval.

Douglas increased their control early in the

second half running in two converted tries to put them 27-9 ahead.

However in a good phase of play from the visitors Guy Byatt manged to get over for a try, O'Brien adding the conversion and at 27-16 Firwood Waterloo were still in with a chance of at least a losing bunus point.

It was not to be as in the closing stages Douglas went in for their fourth try, the conversion affording them the try bonus point at 3416.

Firwood Waterloo take a week off before returning to action at home to Broughton Park on October 13.
