ROAD CHARGE PLAN FOR VEHICLES AT POLLUTION HOTSPOTS

HGVs buses and taxis would have to pay under proposals to create clean air zone... but cars excluded from scheme Report by Tom Martin Barbara Woff receives her award.

Dance academy founder gets special award A WOMAN who founded a dance academy in Bootle has been given a lifetime achievement award for her efforts in finding local talented dancers.

Barbara Woff, 89, was given the Carl Alan Lifetime Achievement Award by the Theatre Dance Council International, which describes it as “the Oscar of the dance world.”

Thousands of local pupils have passed through the Bootle-based ‘Barbara Woff School of Dance’, as they looked to learn the basics or develop their skills.

POLLUTION levels caused by traffic in an area of Bootle is so bad that Sefton Council may be forced to start charging certain vehicles to use the roads.

The local authority is so concerned over nitrogen dioxide in parts of south Sefton that they hired global environmental consultancy AECOM to identify specific areas where air pollution is highest.

AECOM has found four ‘hotspots’ of particularly high levels of pollution and these have now been designated as Air Quality Management Areas (AQMAs), which means air quality does not meet national standards.

The Bootle hotspot is the busy junction of Millers Bridge and Derby Road, with the other three located in Litherland, Seaforth and Waterloo.

The cause of the increased levels of nitrogen dioxide compared to other areas of Sefton has been blamed on the expansion of the Port of Liverpool and dock-related traffic.

According to the findings from AECOM, “both

short-term and long-term exposure to air pollution affects health by shortening lives and contributing to chronic illness.”

In a desperate measure to reduce pollution in these hotspots and improve air quality, the council is looking to introduce a Sefton Clean Air Zone (CAZ) in these specific areas.

A CAZ area would mean vehicles have to pay a fee to use specified roads, such as HGV lorries, buses, coaches and taxis.

Cllr Ian Maher, Labour Leader at Sefton Council, said: “For some people who live in Sefton, air pollution is an important concern and the quality of the air we breathe is an issue that affects everyone.

For this reason, last year I instructed a team of officers to explore all available options to address air pollution in Sefton.

“This work followed on from a number of significant actions that were already in place to improve air quality in the borough.

“However, we need to do everything we can to protect the health and wellbeing of all our residents. AECOM’s report concludes that the only viable option left to make a significant difference to air quality in the areas most affected by traffic pollution is to implement a charging CAZ to cut pollution and encourage people to drive less polluting vehicles, including electric and low emission vehicles.

Emergency service vehicles targeted by yobs over the Halloween period MERSEYSIDE Police chiefs have blasted yobs who used Mischief Night and Halloween as ‘cover’ to target emergency service vehicles by throwing bricks, stones, eggs and flour at them.

The force recorded a total of 920 emergency calls (999) and 453 non-emergency calls (101) during the police operation between 2pm - 11pm on October 30 which is actually a 2.73% decrease in

comparison to the same day last year. On October 31, police recorded a total of 502 emergency calls and 266 non-emergency again from 2pm - 11pm.

This is a 18.25% decrease than Halloween last year.

However, on the so-called ‘Mischied Night’ (October 30), there was a 24% increase in reports of antisocial behaviour (406 offences) and criminal damage (155 offences) compared to last year. Four police vehicles were also damaged.

Additionally, officers seized 13 fireworks, two motorbikes and arrested eight people for offences including criminal damage and public order.

Worryingly, the number of recorded items thrown at vehicles including bricks, stones, eggs and flour has risen by 50% in comparison to last year, say Merseyside Police On Halloween, there was a 6% increase in reports of anti-social behaviour (173 offences) and criminal damage (38 offences) compared to last year which saw 199 offences. Officers seized 26 fireworks and arrested 14 people for offences including criminal damage, possession of drugs and public order - two more than last year and four more than 2017.

Commander for the policing operation, Superintendent Paddy Kelly said: "The period between October 30 and November 5 is often a busy time for police and I’m disappointed to report that again this year, we’ve seen a number of emergency service

vehicles damaged by young people throwing items including bricks at them. This meant some first responders were unable to attend emergency calls due to their vehicle being damaged.

“It is shocking that anyone would find it acceptable to put our officers, staff and partners at risk and potentially deny a member of the public the emergency service they require.

“It’s not big and it’s not clever - it’s criminal and could have serious or fatal consequences.

Criminality “I have asked before and I will ask again, to those committing these stupid acts of criminality: how would you feel if a police car or ambulance wasn’t able to get to your house, to your grandparents’ house, to your girlfriend’s house and they were left to suffer simply because a burning wheelie bin was in the road or the patrol car was made unsuitable to drive due to the windows being smashed? I’m sure you would soon re-consider your actions.

“This period should be fun and we actively encourage our communities to come together and celebrate Halloween and Bonfire Night, but to do so safely.

“A massive amount of effort and planning has gone into this week-long operation and I would like to reinforce our message that anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated under any circumstances.”

Council’s clean air zone plan could result in road charges to some vehicles From page 1

“Although we will explore a number of CAZ options, our current preferred option is a CAZ Type B. This option will not charge everyday commuters using private cars or vans but will be aimed at Class B vehicles like buses, coaches, taxis, private hire vehicles and heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) that do not meet required emissions standards.

“There will be an opportunity for residents and businesses to share their views on these plans further down the line and we will work closely with our key partners and stakeholders throughout the process to ensure that our plans continue to work towards the best interests of our communities.

“Our borough is clean, green and beautiful and we are determined to do all that we can to improve our air quality.

“That is why I’m bringing an item to Cabinet on Thursday, November 7 to allocate funds to fully explore the implementation of a charging Clean Air Zone in Sefton.” l For more information on Sefton’s CAZ, or to read the full AECOM report, please visit www.sefton.gov.uk/CAZ

Netherton to stage its first festive light switch-on event NETHERTON will stage its first ever Christmas lights-switch on event this year with a whole host of activities and entertainment planned for the big day.

It will be held on Wednesday, November 27 with events due to take place at the Feelgood Factory, Glovers Lane and Marian Square from midday up until the light switch-on at 6pm.

Attractions will include a charity fair, a Christmas market and performances from dance groups,

local singers and choirs, with a special appearance from Father Christmas.

Sandra Duncan, the Chief Executive of the Feelgood Factory, said: “Christmas is a magical time and it is at its best when communities come together to celebrate.

“We have had a charity fair for the last few years but, at the suggestion of Crosby and District Rotary and Lions, we are making it a much bigger event this year.

“This day has been made pos-

sible because of the support of the local traders, Sefton Council, the L30’s Million and many ordinary people who are helping with the organisation.

“This promises to be a brilliant community event and we hope that as many people as possible will come along on the day to give the Christmas season a really good start.”

From midday-4pm, there will be a Christmas fair inside the Feelgood Factory to give people a

chance to buy gifts and decorations.

From 4pm there will be an outdoor community market in Marian Square and entertainment will take place on both sides of Glovers Lane with dance, choir and singing performances.

The light switch-on will take place at around 6pm.

Anyone who wants further information is asked to contact the Feelgood Factory on 0151 291 8010.

Sean’s Place opens to offer mental health support service

Sean Maloney

From page 1

Barbara, who lives in Crosby, first went on stage aged four and her love of dance has remained for the rest of her life.

She became a dance teacher in 1944 when she was only 14 years old and continued for several decades. She set up the Barbara Woff Dancing School which developed into a large and successful business.

Many of her students went on to have successful careers in theatre, including her son Graeme Henderson, who is featured in the musical 42nd Street.

In addition to teaching, Barbara travelled to other areas as an examiner and was a well known adjudicator at different dance festivals and competitions.

The poppy stand set up at Lidl by the scout group

Scouts raise funds for Royal British Legion YOUNGSTERS from a scout group in Netherton have been doing their best to raise awareness and money for this year’s poppy appeal.

The 3rd Bootle Scout Group spent time in their local Lidl store to sell poppies and other Royal British Legion items to shoppers in order to raise funds.

Last year, they managed to get more than £800 and will hope to top this figure this year.

Michaela Thompson, the scout leader, said: “This is the second year the group have been involved with accepting donations, selling poppies and other RBL merchandise in the lead up to taking part in the annual remembrance parade in Bootle.

“The group meets weekly on a Tuesday evening at 6.30pm in the L30 Community Centre in Netherton, where children learn lots of skills for life.

“Last year the group successfully raised £823 for the Royal British Legion and the children are hoping to be just as successful this year.”

A FAMILY in Bootle who were left devastated after their beloved relative took his own life, have opened a new mental health service to help local people facing similar issues.

Sean Maloney, died earlier this year at the age of 34, after battling mental health issues for a number of years.

His sister, Debbie Rogers, vowed to honour her brother’s death by helping other people going through similar issues.

So she has now set up a service she has called ‘Sean’s Place’ at local venues Connect Studios and Community

by Nature which are both providing their facilities free of charge.

Sean's Place offers a wide range of support services and activities, such as mindfulness sessions, hypnotherapy, fitness classes and art therapy.

Debbie said this is the perfect way to remember Sean, who she fondly refers to as Mr Bean for the way he made children laugh.

She said: “This has been my therapy because it’s helped me cope after losing Sean and the need is there right now, so there was no reason to wait.

“We have had an overwhelming response and support from the community. We are based at Connect Studios and Community by Nature,

Report by Tom Martin

who are providing their venue for free as a way of giving back to the community.

“We have mindfulness sessions, hypnotherapy, fitness sessions and art therapy available as well as plans to host a forest school, gardening and cookery sessions. It really has taken off and we couldn't be happier.

“We are looking for businesses to sponsor our sessions so that we can provide the service for free. We are happy to talk more if anyone would like to support us in that way.”

Sean’s Place will hold an open day on Sunday, November 10 at Connect Studios, in Seaforth, from 5-8pm when locals can visit to see what is on offer.

This is ahead of an official opening to be held later in November.

Following Sean’s death, his family launched a charity appeal and raised more than £3,000 to help create Sean’s Place.

Sean was described by Debbie as being a family-man who loved spending time with his niece and nephews.

Older Person’s Day funds boost!

A BOOTLE-based housing firm has helped raise more than £2,500 for charity after holding events to celebrate International Older Person’s Day. One Vision Housing (OVH) organised events for their Retirement Housing Scheme residents, who all pulled together to help raise a total of £2,663 for Macmillan Cancer Support.

International Older

Person’s Day was held on October 1, which works to bring the older community together and highlight their contribution to society.

In celebration of the day, OVH hosted a number of events across its seven Retirement Housing Schemes.

Suzanne Meylan, Independent Living manager said: “I’m so very proud of the Independent Living Team, our customers,

friends and family in our seven Retirement Housing Schemes who have raised a fabulous £2,663 for Macmillan Cancer Support over the last few weeks.

“Every year the team and our customers work hard together to put on a celebration to acknowledge International Older Person’s Day and raise much needed funds for Macmillan. A huge thank you to all involved!”

Remembrance Day services to take place across the borough REMEMBRANCE Day services will be taking place across Sefton this Sunday.

There will be 11 services held in the borough on Sunday, November 10 which will be attended by locals as well as the Mayor of Sefton, councillors and other Sefton Council representatives.

Mayor of Sefton, Cllr June Burns, will attend a morning service at the War Memorial, Five Lamps, St George’s Road, Waterloo at 10.30am.

Other services are to be held in Aintree, Ainsdale, Crosby, Bootle, Hightown, Ince Blundell, Litherland, Maghull and Southport.

As with previous years members of the public are asked to arrive at a service in plenty of time. This is due to the high volume of residents expected to turn out to pay their respects.

Mayor Cllr June Burns, said: “Every year councillors and council officers from Sefton make every effort to be present at the many services taking place across the borough.

“It is so important for me to attend to pay my respects to those who lost their lives in conflict past and present.

“Hopefully as many people as possible will join one of the services happening across the borough to take time to reflect on the sacrifices made by our brave service men and women.”

Wear your poppy with pride The Royal British Legion are reminding poppy wearers of the following:Poppies should be worn on Remembrance Day with pride and there is no ‘correct way’ to wear it, as it is a ‘matter of personal choice whether someone chooses to wear a poppy and how they choose to wear it. The best way to wear it is simply with pride.’

The poppy was chosen over any other flower because it grows wild in many fields in northern France and Belgium.

This is where some of the deadli-

est battles of World War One took place and many men died.

Poppies are tough flowers, and can grow anywhere, but are also delicate. It is considered to be a fitting emblem to remember those who died.

The Royal British Legion is one of the main charities associated with Remembrance Day. It explains that the red poppy is an emblem of remembrance and hope. It stresses it is not a sign of support for war and death and neither should it be seen as a symbol of religion or politics.

Weapons seized after police officers search of woodlands and canal Report by Tom Martin POLICE have targeted Bootle and Netherton in a search for weapons and drugs during their latest effort to crackdown on gang-related crime.

Operation Lockdown was carried out by officers on Wednesday, October 30 when they searched the Pendle Estate, Rimrose Valley Country Park, Leeds and Liverpool Canal, Clare Road and Westminster Avenue.

Some of the items found by police in Rimrose Valley included a number of knives hidden in a wooded area.

Following this, two simultaneous warrants were carried out at houses on Westminster Avenue, in Netherton, when more weapons were seized, including a pick axe handle with a circular saw blade attached, an extendable baton, an air rifle, and a white stick with a knife attached to the end.

Police then moved onto Clare Road, in Bootle when a warrant

was carried out and suspected drugs were seized. The occupant, a 39 year old woman, was given a caution.

Underwater Search Teams also searched the canal near Swifts Lane, in Netherton, where an imitation firearm was recovered from the water.

Investigations are ongoing to identify the owner.

Finally, the Mobile Police Station parked up in a car park in the Pendle Estate, in Netherton, where PCSOs took the opportunity to speak to members of the public to give them crime prevention advice.

A spokesperson for Merseyside Police said: “Activity across Merseyside will continue and officers are appealing directly to our communities to come forward with any information they may have in regards to people carrying or using dangerous weapons, where they are being kept or any wider information on criminal activity in Merseyside.

“We rely on you coming forward and sharing information with us. Together, we can take these weapons off our streets, increase community confidence and ultimately save lives.”

Officers have a briefing in Netherton

PENSIONERS claim they are living in a “parking nightmare” every weekend when parents leave their cars on grass verges and double yellow lines next to Buckley Hill Playing Fields.

Every Saturday and Sunday, children play football matches on the Netherton football pitches and a high volume of vehicles arrive to compete for spaces in the car park.

When this gets full, cars begin to spill out onto nearby residential roads with many left on double yellow lines, across driveways and on grass verges.

One elderly resident is fed up of the parking problems and claims if he asks motorists to park elsewhere he gets “verbally abused”.

He said: “They just don’t seem to care. The car park has been expanded but it didn’t add many spaces and the

Officers searching Rimrose Valley

problem is still the same as it’s been for many years now. There needs to be more traffic wardens in this area over the weekend, the yellow lines need to be extended and barriers placed in front of grass verges to stop people driving onto them.

“There is also the problem of added litter and children banging their boots after playing and leaving mud everywhere.”

A spokesperson for Sefton Council said: “The council is aware of the parking issues that persist at Buckley Hill. The council has invested in the on-site parking provision at Buckley Hill, doubling the number of spaces over the last couple of years.

“Unfortunately some users of the playing field still choose to park illegally on the highway.

“Officers have now contacted the League, requesting them to re-iterate to the clubs and teams that the new car park is now operational and that players and visitors should use it.” tom.martin@champnews.com

A NETHERTON man was caught drug driving on the day he arrived back from Amsterdam where he had been smoking cannabis, a court has heard.

James Moore, 26, of Park Lane, appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court on October 23 where he pleaded guilty to driving with 5.6 micrograms of delta-9-hydrocannabinol (THC) per litre of blood.

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

Andrew Page, prosecuting, said police were called to a collision between a Vauxhall Astra and a Ford Ka on May 20 at the junction of Dunnings Bridge Road and Park Lane, Netherton. Moore, the driver of the Astra, was blood tested after failing a routine saliva test for drugs at the roadside, Mr Page said.

The court was told that Moore was not responsible for the collision as the other driver had gone through a red light.

Mr Page said that Moore was already subject to a three-year

driving ban following a court appearance for drug driving since which was also his second drug driving conviction within 10 years.

Motorists must be banned for a minimum of three years if they receive more than one drug driving conviction within the space of ten years, the court heard.

Solicitor Mark Phillips, representing Moore, said he had since stopped using cannabis.

“The defendant had been to Amsterdam to celebrate his birthday and had smoked cannabis,” Mr Phillips said, “As you are probably aware you can smoke cannabis in some places there, the rules are not the same as in UK. But of course when you come back to this country if you are driving with cannabis in your system over the prescribed limit you are guilty of an offence.”

The magistrates fined him £120, ordered that he pay £115 in costs and victim surcharge, and banned him from driving for a further 36 months.

Pro and anti Rimrose Valley protests held Report by Tom Martin TWO protest groups who hold opposing views over plans to build a road through Rimrose Valley Country Park held a demonstration at the same time last week in Netherton.

Members of Church Road Residents and District Residents Association (CRADRA), support a new link road being built between Switch Island and the Port of Liverpool as they believe it’s the only way to reduce HGV traffic to docks on the busy A565 near their homes.

The Save Rimrose Valley group, however, are opposed to the road and instead want Highways England to reconsider a tunnel or railway option to carry goods to the docks.

Both groups held a protest at The Park Hotel, in Netherton, on Thursday, October 24, as Highways England, the governmet-owned company behind the project, were holding a public consultation at the venue.

Despite their differing views between the campaigners, both sides claim it was a friendly atmosphere.

Maureen Walker-Miller, chair of CRADRA, said: “Although there were two protests there was no arguing and it was actually nice to see people’s faces instead of just speaking online.

“It’s not their fault we are in this situation and it’s not our fault. They were very nice people.

“The fact remains that while we are not happy with Highways England for allowing the A5036 corridor to be left in such a poor state of disrepair, we are even more unhappy with Sefton Council for delaying the new infrastructure on Rimrose Valley.

“While attending the protest many people, including Rimrose Valley supporters, were amazed to witness the amount of traffic on the A5036 at 7pm and the amount of traffic using Park Lane as a rat run.

“Highways England and the government say no tunnel, Rimrose Valley supporters and the council say no road. All this leaves is to do nothing and worsen already unacceptable traffic and environmental conditions within our residential area. While most of us agree that a tunnel under our Valley would have been an ideal solution to ALL our problems, unfortunately, it is proven that is not going to happen.”

Fright night fun as everyone gets into the Halloween party spirit at the New Directions South Hub

Campaigners from Save Rimrose Valley

Stuart Bennett of the Save Rimrose Valley campaign added: “We spoke with a number of protestors from Church Road and the surrounding communities both inside and outside Thursday's public information event at the Park Hotel.

“We listened to each other's views and it was encouraging to learn that we share many of the same demands on improving air quality, removing HGVs from our roads and questioning the influence of Peel Ports in what is happening in our part of Sefton.

“We have offered to meet with this group initially to see if we can find some common ground.

“We hope that happens, even if it means agreeing to differ on the best solution.

“We are all Sefton residents at the end of the day and want a cleaner, greener and healthier borough, for everyone.”

Highways England has now completed their consultation events, and are scheduled to begin preliminary ‘ground investigation’ work at Rimrose Valley as they look to press ahead with their road plans.

The awards will take place at a ceremony to be held on Tuesday, November 19 in Birmingham.

Malcolm said: “It is a great honour to have been even nominated for this award, but I was amazed to hear that I’d been named as a finalist. I don’t think of the work I do is anything out of the ordinary, I just believe in doing the right thing and helping people wherever I can.

SCARY service users at a Netherton day centre got into the Halloween spirit last week!

The Halloween event at the South Hub, on Park Lane, run by adult social care provider, New Directions, featured a whole afternoon of ghoulish goings-on.

One of the highlights of the party was a keenly-contested pumpkin carving competition which attracted a wide range of entries from people keen to display their creative craft skills.

People who attend the service were also encouraged to wear fancy dress and have a dance, as the DJ played a wide range of suitably spooky Halloween-themed hits of yesteryear.

A buffet featuring frightening food options, a raffle and a prize

for best costume were also on the menu at the event as the South Hub regulars partied away the afternoon.

South Hub deputy manager, Nikki Ferguson, said: “This was a really successful event and we’ve had some very good feedback from everyone who attended.

“We hold similar events to mark special occasions throughout the year, and the people who use our service are always very enthusiastic about them, and keen to get involved.”

John McKeown, who attends the South Hub, added: “I’ve had the best day I’ve ever had at the centre today.

Shoplifter was desperate following benefits cap A WOMAN caught stealing from Poundland at Bootle Strand was desperate after her benefits were capped, a court has heard Claire Russell, 32, of Gladstone Road, Seaforth, pleaded guilty to theft from a shop when she appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court on October 23.

Prosecutor Linda Melia said on September 24 staff saw her holding a number of items and acting suspiciously and detained

her when she tried to leave the store without paying for the items.

Ms Melia said that after being detained she replied: “It’s not f***ing rocket science, hurry up and call the police.”

The court heard that Russell made full admission to the police about the theft and had a previous conviction for theft from 2001. The legal advisor said she had a conviction for a dissimilar offence from 2014.

Representing herself before magistrates,

Russell said: “All my benefits had been capped, I am on the lowest Universal Credit because of fines and paying rent. I was really desperate.”

The court heard she owed the court £1,017 which can be deducted from benefits.

The magistrates granted her a 12-month conditional discharge but made her pay £95 in costs and £14 in compensation to Poundland.

AN inspirational student from Hugh Baird College who does a lot of charity work and encourages young people to stay away from a life of crime has been nominated for a national award.

Malcolm Thwala has been named as a finalist in the Association of Colleges (AoC) Student of the Year awards in the ‘Adult Student’ category.

Malcolm came to the UK from Zimbabwe in 2013 and after arriving in Liverpool he wanted to help his local community where he lived in Toxteth and started volunteer work at a youth club.

He enrolled on a Motor Vehicle Engineering course at Hugh Baird in 2017 and despite a heavy workload, continued to help young people to stop them joining gangs or getting involved in crime.

He also became involved in a charity group called Savera UK, which works with female ethnic minority groups to support them through domestic abuse and forced marriages.

Last year, Malcolm produced a short film based on the work of the charity

Blues fans pay special tribute to James at Goodison Report by Tom Martin BOOTLE youngster James Myers, who died when he was electrocuted on the train tracks last month, has been remembered in a unique way by Everton fans.

The 12-year-old was killed on the railway line near Bedford Road and to pay respect, Everton put his image on the big screen at Goodison Park when the Blues faced Tottenham on Sunday, November 3.

The picture appeared in the 12th minute of the match to recognise his age, and this was followed by a minute’s applause by both Everton and Tottenham fans.

The idea came after a social media campaign which gained the attention of a lot of Blues supporters in the buildup to the Premier League match.

James, who was an Everton fan and pupil at Newfield School in Thornton, was understood to be with a friend on the railway lines after the pair had returned to that section of the tracks to retrieve something which they had lost the previous weekend.

James Myers (above) and the screen at Goodison Park showing his image (left)

James, who was described as ‘performing well at school’ and ‘excelling in subjects including Maths and English’ died at the scene on Monday, October 14.

Floral tributes have been left at the scene of the tragedy and an online fundraiser has been set-up to support the family.

Ideas wanted to breathe fresh life into empty park buildings

EMPTY buildings based in Sefton’s parks could be turned into cafes, ice cream kiosks and bakeries under new plans to breathe fresh life into the borough’s greenscapes.

Green Sefton, Sefton Council’s coast and countryside service, is looking for ideas on how to make the most of disused buildings located within Sefton’s parks and greenspaces.

A number of buildings have already been earmarked as potential sites for new businesses to help encourage new investment and open up a wider choice of potential retail units across the borough.

These sites include buildings at the Botanic Gardens and Hesketh Park in Southport, as well as Derby Park, in Bootle, and a number of other sites across the borough from pavilions to old toilet blocks.

Some of the early suggestions include ice cream kiosks, small cafes, bakeries, small businesses, office space and community use areas.

However, expressions of interest are not limited to these suggestions and Green Sefton is keen to hear about any creative ideas people may have to transform the buildings.

In 2015, a former toilet block in Waterloo located next to Crosby Coastal Park was turned into a cafe called Waterloo Place, which has since been a popular spot for locals. The owner Angela Pooley was highly commended at the Local Authority Building Control Awards 2016 in the category ‘Best Change of Use of an Existing Building or Conversion’.

Cllr Ian Moncur, Sefton Council’s Cabinet Member for Health and Wellbeing, said: “This is a brilliant

opportunity to transform disused buildings, some of which have fallen in to states of disrepair, and create new and exciting opportunities for both residents and visitors.

Green Sefton is working closely with community and ‘Friends Of’ groups who have already shown what can be achieved if communities come together to make use of these buildings.

This call out for ideas will allow these groups to expand on any ideas they may have as well as introduce opportunities for further partnership work.

The council is now inviting people to share expressions of interest and come up with their own ideas.

This follows on from a recent campaign by Green Sefton for ideas on how to improve the borough’s coast and greenspaces.

Ideas can be submitted online by visitingwww.thechest.org.uk, select ‘Current Opportunities’ and search for ‘Sefton Vacant Buildings’ and this will be available until Friday, December 20.

Ideally, the new ideas will be financially viable and should remain universally accessible for all.

LIFE saving defibrillators have been fitted to the outside of every fire station in Sefton to be made available to local communities.

A total of 25 community public accessible defibrillators have been installed on all of Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service’s community fire stations, as well as its Marine Rescue Unit at Liverpool Pier Head and outside the headquarters in Bootle.

Defibrillators deliver a high energy electric shock to someone suffering a cardiac arrest and help to restore a stable heart rhythm.

The roll-out has seen MFRS work closely with N orth West Ambulance Service and will mean anyone going into cardiac arrest nearby will have a better chance of survival.

Chief Fire Officer Phil Garrigan said: “As a fire and rescue service, we are in the business of saving lives and these devices do just that. They are safe and simple to use and could potentially save a member of our community ’s life. We are extremely proud to say that every single one of our fire stations is now home to one of these potentially life-saving pieces of equipment and that any member of the public can access them should they need to.”

The defibrillators have been placed in a clearly marked cabinet on the exterior of all MFRS’ com-

munity fire stations. Each station is also a designated ‘Safe Haven’ where any member of the public, including children and young people, can go if they feel unsafe in any situation.

They also provide individuals with the opportunity to report hate crime and/or domestic violence.

CFO Garrigan added: “We want people in our communities to know that their fire stations are a place of safety, not just in the event of a cardiac arrest when they need to use one of the defibrillators, but in any situation where they are feeling vulnerable, at risk or feeling under threat from harm.

“Our fire stations are welcoming and friendly places in the heart of the community, making them the ideal locations for Safe Havens and for publicly accessible defibrillators.”

Safe Havens are easily identified by an illuminated ‘Safe Havens’ sign that can be clearly seen at night. If firefighters are not on station, people can still call for assistance for an emergency situation by using the yellow station phone located on the front of the buildings.

Anyone needing access to a defibrillator installed at one of MFRS’ fire stations should dial 999 to gain access and follow the instructions given by the device.

Sign banning private vehicles Housing firm has let land from road is being ignored become a dumping site I would like to air my views on the parking and general traffic situation outside the Strand shopping centre in Bootle.

There are big signs stating that from 7am to 7pm the only vehicles allowed between Marsh Lane and Stanley Road and Merton Road/Stanley Road are buses, taxis (meaning Hackneys) and vehicles accessing for loading - nothing else.

But every car, van and private hire vehicle seems to think it doesn’t apply to them!

It’s chaos along there most days with cars actually parked fully on the pavement and on zigzag lines near pedestrian crossings.

I have witnessed on most days the traffic wardens just casually walking past these illegally parked vehicles and doing nothing.

Enough is enough - please sort it out Sefton Council.

If there was a camera at both ends of this stretch of road with every car or vehicle being fined for entering that would produce some decent revenue for the council, plus keeping the road safer to use.

Antiques store is set to be lit up by a larger than life John Lennon!

Unusual Beatles item was auctioned off by former social club Report by Tom Martin AN antiques store in Litherland that prides itself on selling quirky items just got a lot more unusual with the arrival of a ten foot tall John Lennon figure that lights up!

The unusual Beatles memorabilia was acquired by Black Dog Salvage, based on Sefton Street, after it was sold at a recent auction held by the Lathom Hall social club, in Seaforth.

£200m wanted to improve brownfield sites for housing Report by Tom Martin

METRO mayor Steve Rotheram is urging the government to release £200million to clear brownfield sites across the city region to make sure they are ready for redevelopment.

Mr Rotheram wants the funding to target around 700 brownfield spots across all six local authorities in the Liverpool city region so more houses can be built.

He said: “Everybody should have the right to a safe and comfortable place to call home, but a national housing crisis means this is out of reach for too many people in our Metro mayor Steve Rotheram at a typical brownfield site. city region.

Scooter rider Plea for more black people to donate blood in court for speeding through park trying to escape police By our Court Reporter A SCOOTER rider has appeared in court for riding dangerously around Bootle, including through a public park on a summer afternoon, when trying to get away from the police.

Paul Williams, 25, of Church View, Bootle, appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court on October 30, where he pleaded guilty to "driving" a Honda scooter dangerously on Linacre Lane,driving without insurance or a licence, and failing to stop for a police constable.

Alison Clarkson, prosecuting, said: “It was 4.30pm on August 27.

“The defendant was riding his scooter and an officer tried to stop him and he did not stop. He has then driven in a horrendous manner.

He went through red lights at a pedestrian crossing, over takes at another crossing, and goes the wrong way around a roundabout but the most dangerous part of it is he goes into a park at 4.30pm on an August afternoon.

“The officer says there were children playing.

He showed a complete disregard for them and continued riding the bike before eventually falling off. He ran off but was detained.”

Mrs Clarkson said that he was facing a sentence “far greater” than what the magistrates court could impose and invited the magistrates to send it to the crown court.

Williams was represented by solicitor Paul Kilty who agreed that the matter needed to go to crown court as it involved a police pursuit.

However, he said Williams disputed that there were any children in the park at the time saying that it was empty.

Ordering a probation report and an interim driving ban, the magistrates told Williams to appear at Liverpool Crown Court on November 27.

NHS Blood and Transplant has launched an appeal to urge more black people to become donors.

A campaign has been set-up to highlight how black people with sickle cell disease often need blood transfusions, but there is a shortage of black donors with matching blood types.

One of Liverpool’s most prolific black blood donors is Kofi OheneDjan, 47, from Sefton Park, who is supporting the campaign.

He has been donating blood regularly for 20 years and has done so 58 times. Each donation can help up to three people so Kofi has saved or improved up to 174 lives.

M&S Bank Arena marketing manager Kofi said: “For me, it’s a really easy and simple way of helping people. I thought to myself ‘I’ve got no fear of needles, so why not?’, so I

gave blood and I was fine. Every 12 weeks I go and give blood again. I want to keep helping people because I love donating.

“I moved to Liverpool four years ago and one of the first things I did when I came here was find my local blood donation centre.

“Just like the Give Blood campaign slogan, in a tongue in cheek way, I delight in telling people ‘I’ve done something amazing today’. It feels good that you’ve done it. I try to tell people the nurses are great, you don’t have to look and see it all.

“I know people of African heritage can suffer from sickle cell disease. My advice to other black people is to just do it, because it helps people of all races and backgrounds. It’s that straightforward.

It doesn’t cost you anything, apart from your time.”

Nationally, new NHSBT figures show that the number of black blood donors has grown over the past three years in response to urgent appeals in recent years but the situation is still very serious NHS Blood and Transplant still needs 40,000 new black donors nationally.

Mike Stredder, director of Blood Donation, said: “This month we can celebrate donors like Kofi. However the shortage of black donors remains, which makes it harder to find the best matched blood for black people, putting them at greater risk of potentially life threatening transfusion reactions.

“Blood donation is quick, easy and safe and we urge people of black heritage in the region to register as donors to help save lives.”

Watch out! There could be burglars about, warn police MERSESIDE Police are warning residents to beware of an expected rise in burglary attempts now that the clocks have gone back.

Officers say they typically receive more calls about break-ins as the nights start to draw in earlier and homes are left in darkness for longer, with theft insurance claims increasing by 34% in winter.

In an effort to combat the expected surge, the force has issued a fresh warning about leaving doors and windows unlocked.

On a more positive note, law enforcers say that despite the burglary concerns, they have seen a 26% decrease in home burglaries since they introduced Operation Castle last year - a campaign which focussed on preventing burglaries through a range of initiatives.

Superintendent Graeme Robson said: “Recently in Merseyside, we’ve seen some fantastic results regarding burglary. Between July of last year and June of this year, there has been 2,400 less burglaries than that same time period the year before.

“However, with shorter days in autumn and

winter, people’s homes are left in darkness for longer, giving criminals more opportunity to break in. Taking advice given by the police can help make life as difficult as possible for them and decreases the chances of your home being targeted.

“Improving security features like locks and alarms, and making sure your house always looks occupied can make a big difference. There are many resources on our website and social media accounts for those looking for help.

“Often people are either forgetting to both push the handle up as well as turn the key, or they are leaving it unlocked while round at a neighbour’s or elsewhere in the house. Opportunists can try dozens of handles in a street and it won’t be long before they find one that opens.

“It is very important that people are extra-vigilant this time of year and ensure that they take home security seriously.

“Many burglaries can be prevented by taking very simple measures such as ensuring all windows and doors are locked, even when at home.”

days later when I pulled onto the quay of a boatyard in Horning village to fill Manxman’s diesel tank. A mechanic there walked over and told me that many years ago he had worked for Herbert Woods boatyard when Manxman was a star member of their hire fleet (named Golden Light 6).

He said he had worked on the section where the Golden Lights were based and said they were the last of the really higher quality wooden hire cruisers built there. He also congratulated me on the appearance of Manxman which really made my day, especially since I (and my brother) have actually owned the boat for longer than Herbert Woods did!

And the old girl did me proud, working faultlessly (well, nearly) for my 16-day break. The only problem occurred just three days into the cruise when the Webasto heating system suddenly decided to go on holiday too. That would have been a disaster except that when George and I had the bombast installed, we wisely (as it turned out) retained the rather inefficient gas catalyst as well. Since it was the weekend I had to manage with that, meaning to try to get the Webasto fixed on the Monday.

But low and behold, come Monday morning the Webasto came back to life and worked perfectly for the rest of the cruise. I am no expert but I suspect a diesel blockage or an air lock.

Still, all’s well that ends well - and my ‘Official Birthday Cruise’ certainly did that!

A COMMUNITY ON YOUR DOORSTEP

A NEW PERSPECTIVE IN RETIREMENT LIVING: THE SAILINGS IN SOUTHPORT Southport’s brand new retirement development is now open and welcoming new Homeowners. The Sailings, on Alexandra Road, features a range of 55 spacious one, two and three-bedroom apartments by award winning developer, Adlington Retirement Living.

With all the time in the world, a lively social calendar, the company of friendly people and the reassurance of support when you need it, you can truly live life your way, every day, at The Sailings.

This new, high-end, development offers the best of both worlds. Homeowners can enjoy the privacy of their own peaceful and spacious apartment, spend time in the leafy gardens (which are maintained by an expert team of gardeners), relax in the hair salon, therapy room or lounge and then invite their friends over to enjoy the table service restaurant, without having to think about cooking or washing up.

Each of the private apartments will include generous living areas and contemporary fitted kitchens with integrated appliances. Many have stylish en-suite shower rooms and separate bathrooms, and for that all-important outside space, most apartments feature a walk on balcony or patio area, overlooking the beautifully landscaped gardens.

Adlington go the extra mile to ensure the journey to retirement living goes as smoothly as possible, by offering an optional decluttering service, and supportive sales team on hand every step of the way.

They even throw-in a unique, complimentary 8-hour Handyman service to help you achieve the best look for your new apartment.

AWARD-WINNING EXPERTISE Adlington picked up the much-coveted What House? Gold Award for Best Retirement Development in 2017 for their Otley development in West Yorkshire. Alexandra Johnson, Adlington Sales and Marketing Director comments: “Adlington’s vision is to empower our older generation to live a long, happy and healthy life. By creating spacious homes in safe and secure environments with active communities - we are responding to the changing needs of retirees and helping individuals live an independent life.”

CONTEMPORARY ACCOMMODATION There are plenty of thoughtful touches and services available to make life a little bit easier too. The apartments have been designed with later life in mind and every detail, from the height of the door handles to the layout of the bathroom has been considered to make everyday life safer, simpler and more comfortable for homeowners.

MOVING MADE EASY

PEACE OF MIND Adlington’s real point of difference is being able to offer round the clock, 24-hour on-site support, and tailored care should it ever be needed, in the future. By offering optional and flexible care, homeowners and their families have peace of mind, which is cited as one of the key reasons why so many people choose to invest in an Adlington apartment.

Karen Chicken, General Manager at The Sailings, adds: “We care about our Homeowners and consider them part of our extended family. Our priority is always to do the best for them - whether that’s by providing a personal health care package, helping them with everyday tasks, or respecting their independence.”

Security is of paramount importance and a sophisticated emergency call system operates in each apartment and throughout all the communal areas and gardens, as well as a security video entry so you only allow access to people you know and trust.

Families needed to adopt vulnerable children AN appeal has been made for adoptive families in Sefton to provide homes for vulnerable children.

National charity Barnardo’s has supported the recently held First4Adoption’s National Adoption Week in raising awareness for the need for more people to come forward.

Specialist staff from Barnardo’s work with potential adopters to help them become parents for the first time, or to extend their families. As a charity that works with vulnerable children, Barnardo’s adoption services particularly encourage and support people to adopt a child or children who might otherwise have

to wait longer for a family, because they are over the age of three, have additional needs, or have siblings.

Nicola Williams, a senior manager at Barnardo’s North West Adoption Service said: “Some children have sadly had a more difficult start to life than others, but we are passionate about helping these children to find the loving and supportive families they deserve, who will believe in them and show them a positive future filled with hope. We are keen for people of all ethnicities and backgrounds to get in touch with us by visiting our website or calling 0161 786 1492.

Candle safety warning as dark nights draw in FIREFIGHTERS in Merseyside have issued advice on candle safety ahead of the winter months when they tend to be used a lot more.

Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service (MFRS) say candle fires result in around 300 casualties each year across the UK and they have backed a new Fire Kills campaign to ask locals to be extra careful with candles over the cold season.

Group Manager of MFRS Mark Thomas said: “Around a quarter of all fires started by candles attended by fire and rescue services result in a death or injury.

“The most important step you can take to keep yourself and

your loved ones safe is to ensure your home has working smoke alarms.

“To prevent candle fires from starting in your home, you should make sure your candles are kept away from flammable materials like curtains, carpets and other fabrics, and ensure candles are put out when you leave the room, even if just for a moment.

“Candles are a typical sight in many homes, scenting our rooms and giving an atmospheric glow to cold winter nights. But it’s important to remember that a candle is not just a decorative feature. Left unattended, an open flame scenting your home

could leave a trail of devastation.

“You should consider using LED battery-operated candles instead of ordinary ones. But if you must use real candles, place them with extra care, away from curtains, pets and children, and always remember to put them out when you leave the room.

“Even with these precautions it’s vital to be prepared should the worst happen. Working smoke alarms can give you the vital time you need to get out, stay out and call 999. Keep yourself and your loved ones safe by testing your alarm every week and by practicing your escape routes.”

Police urge sex workers to report hate crimes AS part of the recent Hate Crime Awareness Week, Merseyside Police have highlighted crimes against sex workers .

The force wants to encourage people who work in the sex industry to report any crime-related activity they suffer.

Often sought out by dangerous individuals who can pose a risk to the public as a whole, sex workers are less likely to report crimes to the police.

They hope those who work in the sex industry will come forward so that specially trained officers in hate crime can treat victims with sensitivity and appoint a dedicated sex worker liaison officer to investigate reported crimes.

Sex workers are at greater risk of being subject to crime, including sexual and physical violence, harassment, stalking and coercion and police want to encourage those working within the sex industry and particularly those operating online, to come forward with any information that could help bring perpetrators to justice.

Detective Chief Inspector Cheryl Rhodes said: “We know hate crime has been a vastly under-reported

crime for a long time now. If people are being targeted because they are perceived to be different then we want them to come forward and tell us, rather than suffer in silence.

“We want sex workers to report crimes against them as they are entitled to be safe just like everyone else.

“A lot of sex work is carried out online and we would appeal to those working in this way to speak to us if they feel they have been a victim of crime. We can also help by offering advice on how to keep safe online and also what to do if something does go wrong.

“By continuing to encourage greater reporting we can protect and support more victims and make it clear to perpetrators that we will do everything we can to put them before the courts. There is no place in our society for hate crime and Merseyside Police is committed to maintaining the right of all our communities to be treated with fairness, dignity and respect.

“We will pursue reports of crime against sex workers and treat them as hate crime if they are targeted because of what they do..”

As environmental pollution is at the forefront of our minds, car manufacturers are working harder than ever ensuring vehicles produce as low emissions as possible*. With the latest incarnation of Euro 6 standards and more major UK cities looking to introduce low emission zones, local Vauxhall retailer, 06 Vauxhall, is encouraging cleaner motoring thanks to its SUV Trade Up event.

Until 26th November 2019, 06 Vauxhall is offering Ormskirk & Skelmersdale drivers the opportunity to Trade Up to a brand-new Vauxhall SUV, with at least £4,000 scrappage or part-exchange allowance with 4.9% APR Representative** – and that’s on top of the value of your car.

Available on the Mokka X, Crossland X or Grandland X, AREA motorists can get their hands on a new state-of-the-art car for less, as well as the ability to experience the latest in innovative technology on some of Vauxhall’s most recent models.

By scrapping their old car, Ormskirk & Skelmersdale motorists can get their hands on the street-smart Mokka X, packed with robust style, attitude and practicality for city cruising or off-road driving. The life ready Crossland X is the perfect family car ready for any weekend trip, with all the ample storage space you could wish for. Alternatively, the Grandland X makes every journey a pleasure thanks to a host of premium luxury touches, superb connectivity and cutting-edge tech innovations.

What’s more, to really help Ormskirk & Skelmersdale drivers get even more for their

money, 06 Vauxhall is also offering 20% off genuine and Vauxhall approved accessories until 26th November 2019.

If that wasn’t enough, for one weekend only between 8th and 11th November, 06 Vauxhall is offering an extra £600 saving on the Grandland X on top of the £4,000 allowance when motorists scrap or partexchange their old car.

David Balch, General Sales Manager at 06 Vauxhall, said: “We understand motorists are more conscious than ever before when it comes to the environmental issues, we all face. This is why we have introduced our SUV Trade Up event to reward Ormskirk & Skelmerdale motorists for getting their older vehicles off the road.

“You can’t beat the feeling of driving off the forecourt in a brand-new car for the first time, and thanks to our SUV Trade Up event, even more people are able to share that feeling by taking advantage of this great offer. We would like to encourage anyone considering upgrading their vehicle to visit us and take advantage of this fantastic offer.”

The SUV Trade Up event is running until 26th November 2019, so act fast to make the most of this fantastic deal.

For further information about the SUV Trade Up event or any of the Vauxhall range, please contact 06 Vauxhall at 152 County Road, Ormskirk L39 1NW or Inchfield, Skelmerdale WN8 6LZ.

Remyca and Northwich players battle for possession

Remyca concede nine against table toppers Northwich Litherland Remyca 0 1874 Northwich 9 LITHERLAND Remyca conceded nine as they were hammered by league leaders 1874 Northwich.

Remyca are without a win in 12 games and have conceded 45 goals as they remain rooted to the bottom of the N orth West Counties Premier Division table.

Scott McGowan and Jake Parker both netted hattricks, while Mike Koral, Taylor Kennerley and Jack Tinning also added their names to the scoresheet in a record-breaking away win for 1874 N orthwich.

Remyca conceded after only six minutes and the lead was doubled after half an hour to make the scoreline 2-0 at half time.

The away side turned up the pressure in the second half and ran away with the game after scoring seven goals in the second period.

Remyca will need to start picking up points soon if they are to avoid a relegation battle this season.

N ext up for Remyca is cup action against local rivals Bootle FC.

Sam Wilkie had given Maghull the lead in the first half and the same player missed a golden opportunity to increase the advantage before BRN ESC levelled matters.

Meanwhile at Old Hall Field a youthful Maghull Reserves outfit produced an outstanding performance to defeat current table toppers Prescot Cables Reserves in the first round of the league’s Haworth and Gallagher Cup Competition.

Man of the match Connor Rankin took the accolades when he bagged both of the goals in a two goals to nil scoreline and he was closely followed by Will O’Prey who produced a faultless display at the heart of the home sides defence.

There is an attractive game in prospect at Old Hall Field next Saturday when current West Cheshire League First Division leaders South Liverpool visit Maghull in a league game which kicks off at 2pm. At the time of going to press the Reserves are without a fixture.

Planning the Perfect Christmas Now that Halloween and Bonfire Night are behind us, it is time to start thinking about Christmas. Doesn’t the year just seem to speed up right around now?

Christmas should be a time filled with fun, laughter and happiness, but there can also be a fair amount of stress and worry thrown in to. So instead of sitting back and relaxing now for the next few weeks, why not get yourself organised and spend November preparing for Christmas, so that December can be spent enjoying it.

Set a Budget

If you are working to a strict budget, one thing to bear in mind is that Christmas is not an emergency. You know it’s coming, so you can prepare all year for it if you are organised.

Make a list of all the people you intend to buy for early in the year, along with an amount that you intend spend on each person. Include Christmas cards, decorations, wrapping paper, food and drink, and even money for Christmas nights out in this budget. Total it up and then divide it by 12 (or the number of months you intend to spend saving) This will give you a figure to save each month to ensure you can have the Christmas you want, without the worry of wondering how you will pay for it all. You will find that most year’s you will buy gifts for the exact same people, so it’s pretty easy to plan for.

Putting a set amount away, per month in a Christmas savings account from the beginning of the year makes it so much easier. Whenever you buy a gift or make any other Christmas purchase, simply transfer the money over from the Christmas account.

If you don’t save for Christmas yet, we challenge you to start next year.

Start buying gifts as early as possible

Start buying presents! Try setting yourself the goal of having most, or even all of your Christmas presents bought and wrapped by 30th November. If you are a procrastinator about Christmas then this will likely sound crazy, and totally unrealistic but that feeling of knowing it is all done and boxed off so you can really enjoy the run up to the big day without that stress makes it totally worth it.

November is the ‘new’ Christmas

New shopping trends have made their way across the Atlantic to influence UK spending habits in the run up to Christmas.

Events such as Black Friday and Cyber Monday mean that shoppers can get their Christmas savings earlier than ever before. And with the advent of these new ‘spending’ holidays, why wait for December and all the associated price hikes to buy your Christmas presents.

Get rid of clutter before Christmas

It should be out with the old, and in with the new. No one wants to feel like their house is a cluttered mess at any time of the year, but particularly at Christmas, with new gifts piled on top of old ones. So get rid of the clutter before Christmas gets here. For every new toy your children will open on Christmas morning, get rid of two. Make the kids a part of it so they know they’re donating their well-loved toys to others. It’s also a great time to sort through and organise your clothes, garage, cupboards and kitchen.

Decorate like a minimalist

We all like to be festive and no one wants to be a Grinch, but don’t feel like it’s necessary to put up a Christmas tree in every single room in your house – this isn’t Whoville!

Instead of decorating the entire house, keep it simple by decorating just the tree and maybe the mantel. Focus on your main living spaces, the areas of the home where your family gathers most. Take some pressure off yourself and ignore the urge to create a winter wonderland inside (or outside) your home this year.

Remember what Christmas is all about

Christmastime is meant to be filled with joy, laughter and merriment. So make sure you carve out time with family and friends to reconnect with one another.

Make sure you remember Christmas this year. Don’t let the month go by in a blur. Try not to get so caught up in the hustle and bustle that you for forget to enjoy the people you are doing all this for. By starting early, you’ll be able to have a merry – and much less stressful Christmas!

But where did the act of gift giving at Christmas come from? It dates back many, many years, centuries in fact. The birth of Jesus is a well known story and after giving birth, Mary, Joseph and their new baby boy were visited by the Biblical Magi (Three Wise Men) who travelled to Bethlehem to present gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. Some Eastern Orthodox Churches and European countries still celebrate the traditional date of the Magi’s arrival – January 6th or Three Kings’ Day – with a Christmas-like gift exchange.

The Romans traded gifts during Saturnalia and 13th century French nuns distributed presents to the poor on St. Nicholas’ Eve. However gift giving did not become the central Christmas tradition it is today until the late 18th century.

Gifts were meant to remind people of the Magi’s offerings to Jesus and of God’s gift of Christ to humankind. But despite the rationalised Christian roots of gift-giving, the practice ultimately steered Christmas closer to what we have today. Stores began placing Christmas-themed ads in newspapers in 1820. Santa Claus started popping up in adverts and stores 20 years later and by 1867, Macy’s department store in New York City stayed open until midnight on Christmas Eve, allowing last-minute shoppers to make their purchases.

more than just a card shop

Today, Christmas is a full on gift-giving bonanza. Desperate parents scrabble in a mad dash for the latest must have toys. Stores bring out the tinsel and decorations earlier and earlier and high streets around the country are packed with eager shoppers. All of this has made Christmas, a single day in late December, swell into a three month season.

Decorating Your Home for Christmas You know what makes the best time of year even better?

Decking out your house with Christmas decorations that really set the mood. Whether you prefer traditional décor or something a bit more out there, decorating your home at Christmas is the first step is spreading some festive cheer.

Traditionally, the living room is the main gathering place in the home at Christmas. Decorating a Christmas tree is a time honoured tradition for many households.

It’s wonderful to pass houses in the run up to the big day and see beautifully decorated trees in the window, decked out in festive lights and ornaments. The first step in decorating your tree is adding the lights. These will typically come on green or white wire strands.

Choose a colour that matches your tree so the wire will be hidden. Illuminating your Christmas tree from the inside out will give it the most dynamic look. When it comes to baubles and tree decorations, to showcase your favourites, place them in prime positions on the tree first. Next, hang your larger ornaments, spacing them evenly and then fill in the gaps with the medium and smaller sized baubles. Be sure to hang some closer to the trunk to create depth and interest.

Decorating Your Home for Christmas Once the Christmas tree is in place, decorate your mantle with some simple white lights to create a warm mood. By using the same kind of lighting throughout the room, on your tree, fireplace, door frames and even your windows, you will create a seamless and stylish look. In addition to the lights, decorate your mantle with some seasonal greenery along with some ribbons and ornaments for a pop of colour. Layer artificial pine, spruce and juniper for a festive garland that will bring an outdoor, wintry element to the room. Birch twigs, winterberry and silvery pinecones will all add some sparkle. Place cream or off white pillar candles in a staggered configuration along with some small topiary plants, glass hurricanes filled with colourful Christmas ornaments and a festive wreath hung on the wall over your mantel arrangement to complete the look.

Christmas cushions, richly hued throws, fun festive kitchen dish towels, scented candles and glass bowls filled with Christmas ornaments will all add a festive touch around the home. Christmas decorating is all about bringing back those happy memories as well as creating new ones.

Indulging a person’s sense of smell is another sure fire way to wow family and friends over the Christmas period. Seasonal scents such as pine, cranberry, gingerbread, fir and cinnamon are just a few options for candles and scented décor. Evoke seasonal florals, freshly baked food and Christmas-time cooking spices with scented oil warmers on side tables along with pine cones in a statement bowl on your coffee table for subtle festive fragrance.

Step by Step Planner for the Perfect Christmas Dinner Cooking the biggest and the most important roast dinner of the year can be stressful.

So it is important to get your timings, preparation and ingredients all in order beforehand.

While it might feel like overkill before the big event, once you are rushing around the kitchen surrounded by resting meat, red hot potatoes and rapidly cooling stuffing, a detailed check list of everything that needs to be done can make all the different between the perfect Christmas and a cold roast dinner made by a very stressed cook.

Everyone’s Christmas menu is different, so the timings included below may need to be adapted. The check list is for a dinner served at 2pm, with a 5kg stuffed turkey, but always check your meat is cooked through with a thermometer for proper peace of mind.

Throughout December

4 Make sure your turkey is ordered from the butcher, along with any other special items.

4 Start stocking up on alcohol, take advantage of deals as and when you see them.

4 If you do your grocery shopping online, book your delivery slot as far in advance as possible.

4 Pre make and freeze things like mince pies and sausage rolls, which you can then bake from frozen.

One week to go

4 Go Christmas food shopping.

4 Make sure you are not missing any important cookware. Do you have enough plates, glasses etc for you and your guests. It’ll be too late if you realise you don’t on the 25th.

4 If you are cooking a frozen turkey, take this out the freezer a few days before to defrost in the fridge.

4 Clear some space and designate areas for all the extra food you will be stocking up on.

4 Do as much prep for tomorrow as possible. It’s a good idea to parboil sprouts, then chill and finish off in the frying pan just before serving.

4 Make a check list of the different things you will need to do tomorrow with timings. You’ll be so glad you did!

Christmas Day 8am take your turkey and stuffing out of the fridge and allow to come up to room

temperature.

9.30am preheat the oven and rub the turkey with butter, or oil and season. Fill it with the stuffing.

10am get your bird in the oven. Remember to baste regularly throughout the cooking time and to cover in foil if needed.

11am set the table. Do any remaining prep such as peeling or chopping.

12pm put your Christmas pudding on to steam. This should take around three hours.

1pm remove the turkey from the oven and make sure it is cooked through. Cover

tightly and leave to rest, then drain and de glaze the juices to make your gravy. Turn up the heat and put roasting trays full of oil or goose fat in the oven to warm up.

1.15pm place your potatoes in the hot oil / fat and make sure they are completely covered. Return to the oven. Do the same with any other roast vegetables.

1.30pm place the pigs in blankets in the oven, then keep warm if they cook through in less than 30 mins. Boil the water for the vegetables.

1.40pm begin boiling and stir frying the remaining veg. Keep your eye on everything in the oven. Make sure your gravy is ready and begin heating through any other sauces.

1.50pm start sautéing the Brussels sprouts with chestnuts and bacon. Open the wine!!

2pm get everyone together at the table and then eat, drink and be merry!

23rd December

Now it’s time to buy all the fresh produce you will need.

3pm remove the Christmas pudding from the heat and serve.....with lots and lots of brandy butter.

Christmas Eve

4 Make your stuffing, wrap it and store in the fridge.

4 Peel, boil and fluff up the potatoes in advance for tomorrow, then cover and keep in the fridge.

3.30pm serve the cheese and then you’re done. Retire to a nice comfy chair and enjoy a well earned rest while those you have cooked for clear away and wash up.

Saturday 14th THE SENSATIONS

Whilst most people are in agreement that Christmas really is the most wonderful time of the year, with the many greeting cards, plastic decorations and mountains of unwanted food and gifts all generating a huge amount of waste, Christmas can be extremely damaging to the environment. In fact, the festive season is one of the most taxing times of the year for the environment with added strain on landfills and the extra CO2 emissions that occur during this time of year.

NEW YEAR’S EVE SANDY

1. The Tree

Superb Female Vocalist plus LENNIE ANDERSON - hilarious comedian

A real Christmas tree may seem like a more natural choice here, but did you know that up to 8 million of them are bought every December in the UK alone. That means a lot of intensive production and potentially a huge amount of waste.

An artificial tree will last you for years and nowadays these look very realistic. They do however take an enormous amount of energy to manufacture plus eventually they will need to be disposed of. If you already own a fake tree, then keep using it, look after it and make it last as long as possible. When it comes to replacing it, look into more environmentally sound options.

If real trees are more your thing then look out for ones with the FSC-certification logo.

This will show that the tree has been grown sustainably and not in a way that is damaging to the environment. If you want a tree that’s certified as organic and pesticide free, then get one that’s approved by the Soil Association.

Remember to recycle your real Christmas trees.

Compared to 10 years ago, many more of us are choosing to do this and most councils will have allocated locations where people can drop off and leave their trees. The trees are shredded and then used as mulch on plants in parks, or else rotted down and recycled as compost.

2. The Wrapping

Did you know that in Britain last year, we binned the equivalent of 108 million rolls of wrapping paper and got through over 40 million rolls of tape? Think of all that waste! And many of us may be unaware that the wrapping paper we use is not recyclable if it contains plastic, dye, foil or sticky tape.

Visit us @ www.ChampNews.com 11

3. The Food

Buying just enough food at this time of year never really cuts it, and just like last year, most of us will buy far too much food and then end up wasting or throwing a lot of it out.

With over four million Christmas dinners being thrown away every year, it really is time to start tackling this Christmas stockpiling problem. Did you know that if all the wasted food at Christmas was reduced into energy rather than sent to landfill, it could power an average medium sized home for 57 years.

Firstly when you’re out shopping for food, try and choose things that are light on packaging, or better still buy loose items. This applies throughout the year though and not just at Christmas! Try choosing organic and free-range, and support small-scale farming wherever possible. Yes, it might be a bit more expensive, but it’s better to buy less of this than more of the cheap and cheerless intensively-farmed meat.

As an alternative, you could use brown paper and get creative in decorating this. This will also likely be the cheapest option but if getting creative really isn’t your thing this Christmas, then look out for more eco-friendly versions of your usual minimal effort wrapping paper. Lots of high street shops, supermarkets and websites now stock sustainable alternatives - just be sure to check the label before buying.

And remember, if you do end up overcatering at Christmas, don’t just bin what’s left.

Transforming leftovers can be a great way to create new meals, save money and cut waste.

Make the most of your leftovers by using them to make pies, curries, stews and soups. You’ll find loads of easy to follow, simple recipes online.

And if you find you have too much leftover food, see what you can freeze, or consider donating some to an elderly neighbour or a local food bank or soup kitchen.

Because Christmas is just not Christmas without Milk!

Our favourite Christmas traditions and their origins The first Christmas Card

Over 175 years ago, the world’s first Christmas card was sent.

The “Penny Post” was first introduced in Britain in 1840 by Rowland Hill. The idea was simple, a penny stamp paid for the postage of a letter or card to anywhere in Britain. This simple idea paved the way for the sending of the first Christmas cards.

Having helped set up the Public Records Office (now known as the Post Office) Sir Henry Cole and his artist friend John Horlsey tested the water by creating the first Christmas cards in 1843. 1000 were printed for sale in his London art shop and cost a shilling each. As printing methods became faster and less expensive, the price of the cards came down. This along with the introduction of the half penny post meant that by the 1870’s, the tradition of sending cards at Christmas was hugely popular.

The History of the Christmas Tree

Christmas trees have been around for a millennium in Northern

Europe, but the first one did not appear in the UK until the 1830’s. When Queen Victoria’s German husband Prince Albert put up a Christmas tree at Windsor Castle in 1841, that began the popular tradition of having a decorated tree up at Christmas and by the 1860’s, it was common in place in households around the country.

Christmas Crackers

In the late 1840’s, almost by accident, London sweetmaker Tom Smith invented the cracker. It was a simple idea inspired by traditional, paper wrapped French bonbons.

These were included, along with mottos or riddles but initially sales were slow and it wasn’t until he found a way to make them ‘crack’ when pulled apart that sales really began to take off. Hats and other novelty gifts were later added and the tradition continues today, over 170 years on.

Turkey at Christmas

It’s almost a given that on Christmas day, people across the nation will be carving up a turkey at the dinner table. A staggering 87 per cent of people in the UK believe Christmas would not be Christmas without the traditional roast turkey at the table.

Turkeys were introduced in Britain by Yorkshireman William Strickland more than 500 years ago when he acquired six birds from

American Indian traders on his travels. Prior to this, the meat of choice for people at Christmas was geese, boars head and even peacock.

Having been brought over the Atlantic from the New World by Mr Strickland, King Henry VIII was the first King of England to feast on turkey although it was King Edward VII we can thank for turning it into a festive mainstay it is today.

However, even in 1930 it cost a full week’s wage to buy a turkey and therefore it remained a luxury until the 1950’s. It is only over the last 60 years that it has gone mainstream and become the regular feature it is today for a great majority of British households.

Christmas Pudding

Christmas (or Plum) Pudding is the traditional end to the British Christmas dinner. But what we think of as Christmas Pudding is not what is was originally like!

Christmas pudding originated as a 14th century porridge called ‘frumenty’ that was made of beef and mutton, with raisins, currants, prunes, wines and spices. This would be more like a soup and was eaten as a fasting meal in preparation for the Christmas festivities. By the late 1500’s.

Frumenty was slowly changing to a plum pudding having been thickened with eggs, dried fruits and alcohol. It became the customary Christmas dessert around 1650, but in 1664 the Puritans banned it as a bad custom. However in 1714, King George I reestablished it as part of the Christmas meal having tasted and enjoyed Plum Pudding. By Victorian times, Christmas puddings had changed into something similar to the ones enjoyed today.

Christmas cocktail recipes

Enjoy a festive tipple this Christmas with these fantastic cocktail recipes – we have included festive fizzes and some great rum punches.

Hot buttered rum and ginger toddy

Christmas Mulled Wine EASY Serves 6 Ready in: 10 mins

EASY Serves 4 Hands on time : 5 mins

Are you a fan of festive mulled wine when you visit the Christmas markets? Make your own at home with this perfect-every-time recipe.

These boozy hot toddys pack a serious punch. Hot, buttery and fiery with ginger, curl up next to the fire this Christmas with this warming drink.

Ingredients

1 bottle of fruity, medium-bodied red wine 3 - 4 cloves 2 small cinnamon sticks 2cm fresh ginger 1 large juicy orange, sliced 75g caster sugar 2 tbsp good quality brandy

Ingredients

Method

1. In a large pan, slowly warm the wine, cloves, cinnamon sticks, ginger and orange.

150ml darm rum (or whisky / brandy if you prefer) 200ml Ginger Wine 8 whole cloves, lightly bashed ½ lemon, thinly sliced 3tbsp light brown soft sugar 200ml boiling water 1 cinnamon stick, broken in half 25g buttered 4 long rosemary sprigs

2. As the mixture heats up, add the caster sugar and brandy, stir, then taste. Add more sugar and / or more brandy, if you like.

Method

3. Continue to heat until warmed through butdo not let the mixture boil or the mull will spoil. Ladle into heatproof glass tumblers (avoiding the whole spices) and then hand around the wine to your guests while still steaming hot. Make a fresh batch if you need more as reheating any leftover after more than 20 minutes will mean the flavours taste stewed and overly spiced.

2. Add in the butter and stir until melted. Divide among heatproof glasses or cups and then add a sprig of rosemary to each one.
