Homes to be built on school field but new play area will be created

Comparison website firm fined for sending out spam texts Man admits to stabbing Sam Cook but denies murder THE man accused of stabbing to death Sam Cook while was out celebrating his 21st birthday in a city centre bar in October has admitted possessing a knife and pleaded guilty to manslaughter but has denied murder.

Carl Madigan, 22, pleaded not guilty on Thursday, JanuSam Cook ary 11 to murdering Sam Cook and his guilty plea to manslaughter was not accepted by the prosecution.

He has pleaded guilty to possessing a knife.

Maddigan, of Adam Close, Garston, appeared at Liverpool Crown Court via video link from prison.

Mr Cook was stabbed to death while out celebrating his birthday in the Empire Bar in Seel Street. The incident happened in the basement area of the venue just before midnight on October 21 and he died later in hospital.

Also in the dock last week was Lewis Langfield, 20, of Skipton Avenue, Anfield, who pleaded not guilty to assaulting Mr Cook, causing him actual bodily harm.

The trial, expected to last around eight days, is due to begin on June 4.

Madigan was further remanded in custody and Langfield was further remanded on conditional bail.

NIGHT SHIFT TO BE AXED AT FIRE STATION Union claims it will delay response times putting public at risk - but bosses say it is ‘least worst option’ to cope with funding cuts Report by Tom Martin CROSBY Fire Station will no longer be manned during the night.

Any late-night incidents in the area will now be dealt with by firefighters from Bootle & Netherton Community Fire Station under new measures by Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service (MFRS).

Crosby will have ‘retained crews’ on a 30-minute recall system who will be called to duty overnight to provide support if the number of fire appliances drops below a predetermined level.

The Merseyside Fire Brigade Union (FBU) claims this could lead to a delay in response times and the move is “putting the safety of the public and firefighters at risk.”

Fire Service bosses say that in wake of budget cuts, this is the “least worst option” they could possibly take.

A spokesperson for MFRS said the service’s Integrated Risk Management Plan for 2017-2020, which was approved after public consultation, contained

Crosby Community Fire Station.

the proposal to change the crewing systems at five fire stations to wholetime crewing between 8.30am and 8.30pm, with retained crewing overnight on a 30-minute recall.

Cover will be provided overnight by Bootle & Netherton Fire Station, supported by Kirkdale Fire Station as both of these stations are able to meet the ten-minute response standard into the Crosby station area.

An MFRS spokesperson said: “These proposals are a direct response to the ongoing cuts to Mersey-

side Fire & Rescue Authority’s budget, which continue until 2020. It is the least worst option available to the authority in order to manage the cuts.”

Sefton Central MP Bill Esterson said: “Funding cuts by the government over the last eight years to the fire service have inevitably led to closures and changes in the hours and the number of fire engines available.

“These cuts are taking a risk with the safety of the people of Crosby.”

Door-to-door conmen working in pairs to deceive householders

By Danielle Thompson RESIDENTS in Sefton are being urged to be on their guard after two new scams were reported.

Merseyside Police chiefs have warned homeowners to take extra precautions when any stranger or strangers call at properties and to avoid allowing strangers to enter your property if they call at your home uninvited or without planned prior notification, especially if you are alone in your home.

Plaza to show bullying film made by youngsters YOUNG people who made their own film about the consequences of bullying will get a chance to show it on the big screen after the Plaza Cinema announced it will put on a free screening.

Over a three month period last year, 30 young people aged 13-19 years took part in The Dark Shadow project to produce their own detective film exploring the effects of bullying.

Conceived as an educational tool, the film explores the corrosive effect of bullying in the home, at school and in the workplace.

The young people were supported by the Arts and Education team at the Plaza Cinema, along with Cottonfield Films, and a range of creative professionals.

The free screening is intended to be a celebration of the talents and achievements of the young people, and is open for members of the public to attend.

It will take place on Tuesday, January 23 at 7pm.

The showcase will include a screening of The Dark Shadow as well as a question and answer debate with the young cast and crew.

Christine Physick, arts director at the Plaza said: “This has been a wonderful project. We are very proud of the young people for their creative energy and commitment. They engaged with the subject matter and have taken part in every aspect of film production from scriptwriting, acting, set design, make-up, camera work, editing, music and graphic design.

“We are also delighted with how the young people have engaged with each other and made some lasting friendships through the project.”

Amazing response to cinema’s appeal for food bank donations DOZENS of bags of food have been handed in to the less fortunate in Waterloo as part of a quirky initiative at the Plaza Cinema.

Staff at the community cinema held three showings of the Christmas family-friendly film Elf in December – and they asked cinema-goers to bring an item in with them to be donated to the South Sefton Foodbank.

A spokesperson for the cinema said: “We held showings of Elf and asked people to bring an item and the overwhelming response meant we ended up getting 37 bags of items handed in, which was amazing.”

Tapas bar plan is withdrawn A PLAN to transform a closed-down shop on a Crosby high street into a tapas bar has fallen through.

A planning application was submitted to Sefton Council which detailed an idea toturn 146 College Road into a new tapas bar.

The plan involved turning the ground floor into a bar with the kitchen situated on the first floor.

However, the proposal was withdrawn last week by the applicant.

Houses to be built on school playing field - but developer will create new recreational area Report by Tom Martin TEN houses could be built on a school playing field and church hall in Litherland under plans submitted to Sefton Council - with the developer creating a new recreational area to take its place.

The proposal by BPS Developments Limited is to build five pairs of two storey semi-detached houses on Orrell Road, with the local authority set to make a decision today (Wednesday, January 17) at a Planning Committee.

The current use of the land is a playing field located at the back of St Philip's Primary School, which would bear the brunt of the majority of the development.

Also included in the plan is for St Philip's church hall to make way for some of the houses.

The council report says that the loss of the playing field will be met by the developer creating a “new area” for the school that is currently to the rear of the church hall.

The council report states: “Whilst the proposal will result in a loss of part of the existing school playing fields, this loss will be offset by a new area being added that is currently to the rear of the church hall.

This will result in a small net loss of the playing fields but it is considered this space will be more useable for the school.

“There will be no noticeable increase in traffic on

The playing field and church hall to the right.

the surrounding highway network as a result of this development.

“Each house will have two off-street parking spaces on a driveway and as such it is unlikely there will be any significant levels of on-street parking generated by the ten dwellings.

“This level of provision is appropriate given the location of the site.

“The proposed land swap whilst providing a slightly smaller playing field, would facilitate improvements to the quality of provision, providing a more usable playing field.

“It will not have a detrimental impact on the appearance of the area, or on living conditions or highway safety. It will make a small contribution to the housing land supply for the borough.”

Conman who claimed to be an investigator tried to scam a pensioner of his life savings

He stole £50,000 and bank prevented him taking £140,000 more

Three need hospital treatment after house fire THREE people needed hospital treatment for severe smoke inhalation after a house blaze in Crosby.

Emergency services were called out to York Road, at around 8pm on Tuesday, January 9, to reports of a house fire.

Police cars and an ambulance could be seen parked outside The Crosby pub, at the end of York Road, to help with the incident.

A spokesperson for Merseyside Fire and Rescue said: “Three fire engines attended the fire, which is thought to have started in a second floor bedroom.

“Firefighters, wearing breathing apparatus, put out the fire and administered oxygen therapy to three people, who suffered severe smoke inhalation. The three were taken to hospital for further checks.

“The second floor of the property sustained severe to moderate smoke damage.

MFRS was at the scene for an hour.”

Report by Danielle Thompson A CONMAN who pretended to be a private investigator, scammed a Bootle pensioner out of almost £50,000.

And but for quick-thinking bank staff, the pensioner would have lost his entire life savings of nearly £200,000 in the elaborate hoax.

Patrick Doran, 26, was arrested last August on suspicion of fraud after the 74-year-old victim lost nearly a quarter of his savings in the scam.

Doran, from Uxbridge claimed he was investigating fraud, but was, in fact, setting up mobile and online banking on the pensioner’s account without his knowledge, taking £49,550 – which he flushed through his accomplices’ accounts. He attempted to defraud the victim of a further £141,000 but was blocked by the bank.

Michelle Cosgrove, 41, and Kyle Jarman, 23, both from Kent, have both pleaded guilty to money laundering offences and will both be sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court this Friday (January 19).

Detectives from Merseyside Police Economic Crime Team welcomed Doran’s sentence of two years, four months in prison for fraud on Thursday, January 11.

Detective Inspector Graeme Towndrow, said: “The result concluded an extensive investigation by detectives from the Merseyside Police Economic Crime Team.

“Between February 22, 2017 and June 26, 2017 the 74-year-old victim was almost defrauded of around £200,000, by a number of individuals including Doran who initially targeted him by saying that he was a private investigator working with a judge from Manchester, telling the victim he was investigating fraud.

“He invited the victim to assist with his investigation, asking for his bank details and to write a number of cheques. Online and mobile banking was set up on the victim’s account without his knowledge and money was transferred to a number of people

throughout the Midlands and South of England.

“Doran won the trust of his victim and ruthlessly exploited that trust by taking large sums of money. It's hard to believe that anyone would stoop so low as to try and defraud elderly people out of money.

“This was a heinous and despicable crime targeting a vulnerable man in his seventies, who could have lost his entire life savings.

“It can be absolutely shattering for victims, who may be elderly or have health issues which render them particularly vulnerable or who are naturally trusting, to fall victim in such a way.

“We are training call handlers to identify victims at risk of exploitation at the hands of people like them and ensure they receive the most appropriate support. We regularly visit the victims of fraud at home to provide additional support and advice to help prevent further offences.

“If you have, or are being subjected to fraud, or feel like you, or someone you care for, is being scammed, please get in touch.”

A COMPARISON website based in Waterloo has been fined £40,000 for sending more than 111,000 spam text messages.

Goody Market UK Limited, on Crosby Road South, which operates an insurance comparison website, was slapped with the fine by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

The firm has also been ordered to stop illegal marketing or face further legal action from the ICO. The spam texts were sent using people’s information sourced from another firm and purchased on behalf of Goody Market by a data broker.

Goody Market UK was unable to provide the ICO with evidence that people had agreed to receive marketing messages, as it had relied on verbal assurances from the data broker that the details had previously been used for text messaging purposes.

Hundreds of complaints from the public about four firms from across the UK, including Goody Market Ltd, prompted the ICO investigations.

All four of the businesses broke the law by not having people’s agreement to be contacted by them.

The ICO say that organisations should always ensure the language used to signify consent is clear, easy to understand and not hidden away in a privacy policy or small print.

Andy Curry, ICO Enforcement Group Manager, said: “Firms cannot get away with failing to follow the rules designed to protect people from the irritation and, on occasions, distress nuisance calls, emails and texts cause.

TV train buff Portillo stops off in Maghull to visit Hornby exhibition

ANTHOM KITCHEN AND BATHROOM STUDIOS W ON! O N E L A S Y R A U N JA

Report by Jim Sharpe TV rail buff Michael Portillo stopped off in Maghull for an episode of his popular Great British Railway Journeys series which will be shown tomorrow evening (Thursday, January 18) at 6.30pm on BBC2.

He visited the town to find out more about Frank Hornby, creator of Hornby model trains as well as Meccano and Dinky Toys, who lived in the town for many years.

The former politician was met at the railway station by Les French, chairman of the Frank Hornby Trust which runs the heritage centre at the Meadows Leisure Centre.

They did a whistle-stop tour, taking in Frank Hornby ’s former house The Hollies’ on Station Road and the heritage centre.

The presenter was fascinated by an extensive ‘0 gauge’ Hornby train layout at the leisure centre, and the Trust's extensive collection of other Hornby memorabilia, including much early Meccano.

Les told the Champion: “Michael is a consummate professional and we got on very well together.

“After his visit to the Heritage Centre he went to St Andrew's Parish Church and viewed the Hornby family grave.”

If you enjoyed the programme, Les is organ- Michael Portillo arrives at Maghull Railway ising an open day at the Meadows Heritage Station clutching his famous Bradshaw’s Guide.

Centre on Sunday (January 21) from 11.30am - Michael's visit, Hornby trains, Meccano, Maghull 5pm, where he hopes to have a working model train anything really!

“And of course, we are always on the lookout for layout as well as the 'resident' collection of Hornby further Hornby memorabilia - and we really need trains, Meccano and Dinky Toys.

Les and other trustees will be on hand, and he more Dinky Toys as well as '00 gauge' Hornby Dublo said: “We'll be happy to talk about anything - locomotives and rolling stock if anybody can help.”

Steve Parfett and Chris Hewitt described the history of Parfetts, which serves businesses in the UK and exports goods around the world, and how it came to be owned by its staff.

Bill Esterson MP said: “I really enjoyed visiting Parfetts in Aintree and being shown round its excellent facilities.

“They are a good local employer, if the loyalty of the Bill Esterson MP with Parfetts chairman Steve Parfett and long staff is any guide and a number serving employee Barbara Dumbell. business.” The MP said he had questioned minisof staff have worked there for many years.

“Being employee owned is a good sign. I was ters about whether the Booker takeover is unfair impressed by the professionalism and integrity competition and had been referred to the Competishown by Parfetts and in the way they work with tion and Markets authority.

Appeal to find missing man POLICE are appealing for help to find a man who has links to Crosby and Southport.

Colin Bamber, 50, who lives on Tithebarn Lane, in Kirkby, was last seen on January 3.

He is described as white, 5ft 7in tall, of slim build, with a bald head and a tattoo on his right arm. He is also believed to be in a black Renault Megan car registration plate T40 NJW. When he was last seen Colin was wearing blue tracksuit bottoms, and a grey fleece. Colin is known to frequent the Southport Promenade, Crosby Marina and Burbo Bank areas and also the Cumbria area.

Police officers are making extensive efforts to find Colin and return him home safely and would urge Colin, anyone who knows his whereabouts, or who has seen a man resembling him to call police on the 101 number.

Alternatively information can be left with the independent charity Missing People by calling 116 000 or by emailing 116000@missingpeople.org.uk.

Snow spray prank at high rise ended up costing man £1,000 By our Court Reporter A MAN from Seaforth has been fined and ordered to pay £1,000 compensation for spraying artificial snow on a wall outside the window of his high rise flat.

As Adam Housley, of Alexander House on Sandy Road, appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court on January 10, it was heard that a Neighbour Services Officer from One Vision Housing had visited the property to carry out a routine fire assessment on November 8 when she noticed what she called white graffiti near to the window of an eleventh floor flat.

Prosecutor Sohail Nazar said the window was identified as being part of Housley’s flat.

“He received a home visit on November 15 when he was asked about the white paint,” Mr Nazar said, “The defendant admitted that he done it. He claimed that it was a prank for Halloween.”

Housley was also appearing in court for possession of 633 tablets of diazepam. The class C drug was found in his bedroom during a visit by police for an unrelated matter on September 26.

Solicitor Neil Fitzpatrick informed the court that Housley has a brain injury sustained in a road traffic accident when he was 14 years of age and that he is taken care of by his parents.

About the drugs offence, he said that Housley had bought them off the internet to help with anxiety and depression. He did not know that they were illegal because they were so easy to get hold of.

About the criminal damage, Mr Fitzpatrick said: “It was for Halloween. He describes the white paint as snow spray which he used as decoration for a neighbour’s child to see for Halloween. He tried to make amends for that and clear it up but was unsuccessful. He did not intend to cause damage.

“The reason for the £1,000 cost is that it was on the 11th floor. They had to get up there and clean it up.”

The magistrates fined Housley £70 for each of the criminal damage and drug possession offences, ordered that he pay a £30 victim surcharge, and made him pay the full £1,000 compensation to “rectify ” the damage.

Report by Danielle Thompson SENIOR police chiefs are urging south Sefton residents to do more to help stop crime, following concerns over a recent rise in burglaries and car thefts.

They met with Sefton Central MP Bill Esterson after he had informed officers that some residents were ‘too scared to sleep at night’ because of the number of recent break-ins.

The Champion has reported in recent months how there has been a spate of burglaries in the Crosby area, particularly at homes near Rimrose Valley Country Park.

The MP said a number of his constituents had contacted him to say that they felt burglaries were becoming increasingly common in the town, fearing cuts to the police service were leaving their homes vulnerable to thieves.

But Sefton Borough Commander Matthew Boyle and Area Inspector Ian Jones told MP Esterson that residents could do more to reduce the risk of burglary by making sure doors and windows were always locked.

They also advised motorists to put their car keys away from view at night to help stop car thieves.

The officers pointed out that police had secured several convictions for burglary in recent months and are doing all they can to catch the people responsible for recent break-ins MP Esterson believes continuing cuts to the police service has made it harder for the police to prevent burglaries and catch offenders.

He said: “Thieves know as well as anybody that there have been cuts to community policing. Our police do a magnificent job with the resources they have but I fear that any increase in this type of crime is at least in part because thieves feel they can continue with impunity.

“One person told me they were scared to go to bed at night due to the number of burglaries we are now seeing.”

He added: “The police told me that cars are a big target right now, so they advised always lock your car and keep keys in a safe place in the home.

“The clear message from the police is that we should all take more care in protecting our property.

“The police have regular patrols and are working hard to target burglars but the best defence is for everyone to be vigilant and do what you can to reduce your chances of becoming a victim.

“Superintendent Boyle also told me that CCTV helps as a deterrent and is a great way of identifying thieves. The police told me they welcome CCTV evidence in identifying and catching burglars.

“I was also told about police identifying where illegal scrambler bikes are stored so they can work out when they have been stolen and prevent their use in further crimes. More of a problem in the summer, but any news about potential stolen bikes always helps the police.

“We all have a role in helping protect ourselves and in telling the police when we see someone acting suspiciously or when we know about a stolen scrambler bike or have video of someone who tries a car door to see if it is unlocked.

“I would like to thank all of our uniformed police officers and their non-uniformed colleagues for their hard work and to thank Superintendent Matthew Boyle and Inspector Ian Jones for meeting me.”

For its part, the Government has told police forces to increase the amount of funding they take from council tax to fight crime, claiming funds for day-today policing costs could be drawn from existing grants and the policing precept - a move critics condemned as a ‘stealth council tax rise’.

The government say the money could be used alongside continued ‘efficiencies’ and reserves to ensure forces have the resources they need.

LETTERS to the Editor

Tunnel would be too expensive and would not prevent pollution I have memories of the Rimrose Valley long before it was turned into a country park.

At one end was the entrance to Wabb’s tip, where refuse wagons entered to dump household waste, and at the other was the pig farm at Cookson’s bridge.

To the west of the valley at the southern end was a marsh referred to as Froggy Meadow. To the east were the tanneries.

Nobody ever thought the area was anything other than an eyesore.

Once this tip was full it was covered with a thin layer of soil and left for some years. The northern end had thickets planted and today looks like a rather bleak piece of heath.

Much of the rest of the area has sparse vegetation because of the thin soil atop and the rubbish, below.

A road through the valley has been projected for more than 50 years. I remember seeing it in an exhibition in Liverpool.

It was intended to link with an extension of what is now Netherton Way which ran north of Thornton to link up with Southport Road at the top of Moor Lane.

The road itself was intended to run from Scotland Road, through Kirkdale and Bootle, along what is now Washington Parade behind the Strand and then parallel to the railway line to where the roundabout on Bridge Road is situated before continuing up the valley. The traffic this was intended to take now uses Southport Road and Netherton Way. This is increasing year on

year and lies behind the likely future need to increase capacity on Dunnings Bridge Road through to Switch Island. An extension of Netherton Way to the proposed valley road would remove much of this need.

As a council tax payer I object to the expense of taking this decision to judicial review.

It is a futile waste of money.

As a tax payer I would object to an enormously expensive tunnel.

This would need to have twin bores to maintain traffic flows when there are maintenance needs or accidents.

A road tunnel would not prevent pollution as three or more ventilation shafts would be needed to pump out concentrated fumes into residential areas.

Promoting a road rail interchange was tried and failed; remember the container base?

Protesters should concentrate on engaging with Highways England to secure the best solution regarding access and cross valley routes.

The landscaping and ponds built as part of the Broom’s Cross road together with the re-routing of footpaths with crossings should reassure people about what would be possible.

No Entry Except for Access signs better way to prevent rat run than blocking road Regarding the closure of the ‘rat run’ Edgemoor Drive in Waterloo.

I grew up on Larchfield Road and at the top end by the phone box there used to be a sign saying ‘No Access to Vehicles.’

This rotted away some years ago and upon asking the council to reinstall the sign I was informed they had no funding.

I know all about this sign as I was myself hit by a car cutting through Larchfield Road to bypass congested traffic.

What needs to be put in are ‘No Entrance Unless for Access’ signs, so that people who live on the estate can enter it but

PICTURE of the week

people coming from elsewhere have to use the main roads.

It seems ridiculous to make residents come out of Larchfield Road or St William Road to get to Crosby.

What sense is that?

All that will do is cause more chaos.

Obviously other roads further up may need these signs as well but how much would a few signs cost compared to the risk children being injured by cars?

Maghull North railway station is much needed Train travelling passengers at Maghull and further a field are delighted that Maghull North station is being built and shall be opening in late Spring 2018.

This shall alleviate the congestion around the existing Maghull Station which is at bursting point with the volume of passengers.

The car park is full by 8.30am.

This shall also assist the overflow by car owners parking on nearby roads which leads to continued congestion.

The new station is needed due to new nearby housing developments and the existing station cannot cope with demand.

Merseyrail should also consider, with other partners, the reopening of the Burscough Curves line from Ormskirk to Southport which would vastly reduce the existing road traffic.

More lines should be re opened.

Just count back from the Epiphany for Twelve Days To answer the query that Jim Sharpe (of One Man and His Dog fame) set himself The Twelve Days of Christmas finish with the Feast of the Epiphany on January 6.

Count back twelve days, and you arrive at December 26; therefore the Twelve Days of Christmas are from 26/12 - 06/01.

We put our decorations up on Christmas Eve and take them down on twelfth night.

It’s just as well Christmas is no

If bin is full take your dog mess bags home!

I was walking past the bin by the canal bridge at Wango Lane in Aintree.

I noticed the bin was overflowing with dog waste bags.

I’m not sure how often these bins are emptied but surely dog owners must realise that when the bin is full it would be more hygienic to take their dog waste home and place it in their own bin rather than place it on top of the bin and on the floor.

Anti scrambler bike project win pupils a skiing trip PUPILS from south Sefton were rewarded with a skiing trip by police for their efforts in an antiscrambler bike project.

Youngsters from Lander Primary School, All Saints Primary School and the Grange Primary School, all in Bootle, as well as Hatton Hill Primary School and English Martyrs Primary School, both in Litherland, were winners in the project.

As part of the project, Year 5 pupils at the schools received education on the dangers of off-road bikes at assemblies given by police officers, Sefton Council Anti-Social Behaviour Unit and Alder Hey Hospital.

Once the pupils returned to school they each designed and filmed a 90-second video.

They have also taken part in a trip to Crosby Lakeside Adventure Centre and an awareness day in the Yorkshire Dales, where demonstrations were given on how to use bikes appropriately at desig-

nated locations. The 15 winners of the video competition were presented their certificates by former Royal Marine and Bootle-born Andy Grant, who was joined by Radio City DJ Pete Price.

There was then a grand unveiling of the topsecret children’s prize - a ski trip to Scotland. Their videos will also be used in a publicity campaign in Sefton.

Merseyside Police Chief Constable Andy Cooke said: “These bikes can cause nuisance and danger to our communities.

“Education and engagement is vital, so parents, and future generations understand their impact.

“We hope that by getting involved in this exciting project, these young people have shared some valuable lessons.”

Merseyside Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner Emily Spurrell added: “Once again, the pupils involved have shown enthusiasm and energy for this project. Their work will be used to send out a strong message about the harm these bikes can cause.”

Now at last I’m allowed to tell you that Portillo has been in town YOU will see elsewhere in this paper that Michael Portillo has visited Maghull as part of his Great British Railway Journeys series - and if it is up to the standard of the many programmes in this series that I’ve watched we should be in for a treat.

I’m not sure what I expected when I turned up at Maghull station on a rather murky morning to witness Michael’s arrival, but the almost ‘cloak and dagger ’ attitude of the BBC production team did seem a bit over the top.

I mean, the arrival of a someone such as Michael Portillo on a train at Maghull was hardly likely to pass unnoticed by folk in general, nor his subsequent visit to the Hornby Heritage Centre in the library. So the dark threats of what would happen if we should break the embargo on mentioning the visit until it appeared in the TV listings seemed a trifle over the top.

I did try to interest them in the number of awards won by Maghull Station volunteers over the years but to no avail. Single minded they were - as, to be fair, I suppose they really have to be.

They knew what they needed for the programme, and set out to get it.

Michael himself though was charm personified when I told him of the restrictions being placed on us by the Beeb, he privately said I should ignore them.

Anyway, I am looking forward to seeing the programme tomorrow, even though my friend Les French (who escorted Michael on his visit) told me that there was some three and a half hours worth of filming which would have to be condensed into four or five minutes of live television.

Quite a lot of Maghull on the cutting room floor I fear.

Truth be told though, I was impressed with the professionalism not only of Portillo himself, but the entire small production crew as well. Perhaps they had done it all before do you think?

Anyway, Maghull is to have its five minutes of fame on national TV, which must be a good thing.

Whilst on the subject of railways to and through Maghull, I have noticed the correspondence for and against the new station at Maghull North.

Now I must confess that on a purely personal level, I don’t much like the prospect. For nothing more than selfish reasons.

I reckon that with its large car park, Maghull North will fill its objective of attracting commuters away from the always full to overflowing car park at the existing Maghull station, which may well result in trains to Liverpool being well full, at peak periods anyway, before they reach the existing station which will still be the most convenient for me.

Perhaps when we get our promised bespoke new trains, with their increased passenger capacity, this will not matter so much anyway.

But in any case, it is surely pretty obvious that Maghull North is necessary, even if it does put my particular nose somewhat out of joint.

Whether I like it or not, the present situation with cars being parked in residential roads near the station is unsustainable - and can only get worse as more people move into Maghull and surrounding areas out to Ormskirk and beyond.

I might not like it, and I can understand that some folk living near the new station will not like it, but frankly I can see no viable alternative.

This really should be the age of the train -and bus and bike for that matter. I don't much like bikes either - but so long as nobody expects me to wobble about on one, I can see both the environmental and health benefits they bring.

Even though I still have doubts about promoting what is, no matter whose fault this may be, just about the most dangerous way of getting from A, hopefully to B, in one piece.

So I accept bikes and Maghull North station and let’s face it, they both give me something else to grumble about.

Marine fans make 600 mile round trip to watch their team play Dover

Some of the Marine fans who made the journey. Picture by Susan Nugent.

MORE than 150 devoted Marine FC fans made a mammoth 600 mile round trip to Dover to watch their side play in the FA Trophy on Saturday.

In what must have been one of the furthest away trips in the Crosby club's history, manager Tommy Lawson’s team were in no short supply of supporters, who turned out in their droves for the second round clash.

Even though the Mariners were clear underdogs going into the game, with Dover two divisions and 61 places above them in the nonleague football pyramid, it didn't put off the

fans from making the journey to the South East coast to cheer them on.

The team didn't let them down and although they lost 4-3, it was a thrilling encounter which saw Marine go toe-to-toe with their National League opponents for 90 minutes.

This is made even more impressive due to Marine having a man sent off in the first half, but sadly two goals from the penalty spot from Danny Mitchley and a goal from Michael Brewster just wasn't enough to overcome Dover. l Read the full match report on the Champion Sport page.

Daniel Agger pictured with staff at The 12th Man.

Former Reds defender Agger enjoys pint with fans before City match FORMER Liverpool star Daniel Agger travelled back to Anfield for last weekend’s match against Manchester City – but not before having a pint with some locals beforehand!

The 33-year-old, from Denmark, came back to the city last week to mark 12 years since he first signed for the Reds on January 12 2006.

And it proved to be perfect timing for the ex-defender, as he was able to watch his old side produce a stunning performance to beat their Manchester rivals 4-3.

But before the game, Agger was

spotted in popular Anfield pub The 12th Man chatting with locals and enjoying a drink.

Robert Rogers posted a picture on Twitter showing Agger with some members of staff, along with the caption: “Looks who's popped in for a quick drink before the match!”

Agger made 175 appearances for Liverpool during an injury-plagued eight year spell between 2006 and 2014.

He won the League Cup and Community Shield before returning to Brondby in August 2014, and retired two years later at the age of 31.

Players from Fillies Girls Football Club

£25k boost to footy club’s bid to build health and fitness centre A GIRLS’ football team in Netherton is to benefit from £25,000 through a council fund which aims to support community projects.

Fillies Girls FC is a community organisation that uses grass roots football activities as a way to extend social access, participation, increase skill and creativity, and improve the health and quality of the lives of young girls in south Sefton.

The club will use the money to help develop a new community building on the land next to their football pitch.

The new hub is expected to cost more than £700,000, so organisers at Fillies

Girls FC are applying for other grants in the hope of one day reaching their target.

A council report states: “This building would be a football centred health and fitness facility, open for community use and for learning and would include a meeting room, kitchen facilities, indoor hall and toilet and changing facilities. This would allow them to open up their club to women's teams over the age of 18 for the first time.

“The building and facilities would be managed by a community development manager who would be supported by their team of 23 volunteers.

“They would deliver a range of other non-football activities including mum’s keep fit classes, kick golf, breakfast/afterschool club, healthy eating/budgeting food sessions, coffee mornings for older residents, educational courses and support with digital inclusion.

“All of the activities would be aimed towards improving health, wellbeing and resilience of the local community, in response to their wishes and needs.”

The local authority set aside £1million in 2015 to be spent on community projects, with more than £600,000 now handed out across the borough.

More than 2,000 drivers targeted over taxi laws OFFICIALS in Liverpool targeted more than 2,000 motorists last year to make sure taxi laws are being obeyed.

Operations by Liverpool City Council officers and Merseyside Police took action against 2,091 drivers, most from Liverpool, but also 94 from Sefton and other areas of Merseyside.

Most cases involved motorists parking illegally in hackney taxi Officials launched a taxi law crackdown ranks – a big concern for hackney In December alone, 241 defect drivers - while seven private hire notices or suspension orders were drivers were also warned.

A total of 485 hackney and private issued on taxis, 44 drivers were issued hire drivers were issued with written with written cautions, 118 fixed penwarnings for a variety of offences, and alty notices were issued to private vehicles parked on taxi stands and 53 were prosecuted.

And 29 motorists were penalised for four drivers were warned for ‘cherry illegally plying for hire and associated picking.’

Councillor Christine Banks, chair of insurance offences, while 13 cherry picking notices were issued to hackney the Licensing Committee, said: “I don’t believe any other city outside drivers.

Homeowners urged to check smoke alarms once a month FIREFIGHTERS are urging Sefton homeowners to make regular smoke alarm tests.

Merseyside Fire and Rescue has used the new year to remind locals to check their alarms are in working order once a month.

A smoke alarm going off can give someone the extra time they need to escape in a fire and despite the majority of homes across the country now having an alarm fitted, most people are not aware that the average alarm has a lifespan of ten years before it needs replacing.

Mark Thomas, Prevention Group Manager for MFRS, said: “At this time of year, many people will take the oppor-

tunity to make a fresh start and think about how they can improve their health and wellbeing and their homes.

“Smoke alarms offer vital protection for you and your loved ones, but most people simply fit and forget so they won’t know if an alarm might be coming to the end of its lifespan or not working at all.

“We are asking people to make sure that their alarms are up-to-date and up to the job.

“If your alarm is getting past its best or your top floor is missing an alarm of its own, make your New Year’s resolution to fit new ones, test them on the first of every month - and protect your loved ones in 2018.”

Firefighters say smoke alarms should be tested once a month

The world’s largest garden wildlife survey, now in its 39th year, takes place on January 27, 28 and 29.

The public are asked to spend just one hour watching and recording the birds in their garden or local green space, then send their results to the RSPB. Close to half-a-million people joined in the world’s largest garden wildlife survey in 2017, including almost 6,000 in Merseyside, counting more than eight million birds and providing valuable information about the wildlife using gardens in winter. The house sparrow remained top of the Big Garden Birdwatch rankings in the county, with blackbird and starling rounding off the top three.

Daniel Hayhow, RSPB Conservation Scientist said: “The birds we see in our garden are often the first experience we have with nature – whether it’s a flock of starlings at the feeder, a robin perched on the fence or some house sparrows splashing in the bird bath.

“It may come as a surprise to know that some of our most-loved species are in desperate need of our help as their numbers have dropped dramatically.

“Species such as starlings and greenfinches have seen their numbers visiting gardens decline by 79 and 59 per cent retrospectively since the first Birdwatch in 1979.”

Daniel added: “The Big Garden Birdwatch is a great opportunity to get involved with helping our garden wildlife. By counting the birds that visit your outdoor space, you’ll be joining a team of over halfa-million people across the UK who are making a difference for nature. It only takes an hour so grab a cuppa, sit back and see who makes a flying visit to your garden.”

The blackbird is in the top three

As well as counting birds, the RSPB is once again asking participants to log some of the other wildlife they have seen throughout the year. This year, people are being asked to look out for badger, fox, grey squirrel, red squirrel, muntjac deer, roe deer, frog and toad.

To take part in the Big Garden Birdwatch 2018, participants should watch the birds in the garden or local park for one hour at some point over the three days. Only the birds that land in the garden or local park should be counted, not those flying over. The highest number of each type of bird seen at any one time then needs to be sent to the RSPB. The parallel event, Big Schools’ Birdwatch takes place during the first half of spring term, January 2 - February 23. Further information can be found at rspb.org.uk/schoolswatch

Sefton to remember Holocaust victims at special ceremony SEFTON will remember victims of the Holocaust during a special memorial ceremony open to everyone.

This years’ service will be attended by the Mayor of Sefton, Cllr Dave Robinson and takes place on Sunday, January 28, at Christ Church, Lord Street, Southport at 1.30pm.

Partners including Sefton Council, the Association of Jewish Ex Service Men & Women, Sefton Equalities Partnership, Sefton Unison, students from local schools and colleges and Christ Church all help organise the annual service.

It will be the 18th tribute paid in Sefton as the ceremony is held on the nearest Sunday to Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD). Each year, Holocaust Memorial Day falls on January 27 - the anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp in Poland.

Councillors and council officers will attend the memorial ceremony in Southport as well as mem-

bers of the public. All will take part in a minute's silence.

Mayor of Sefton, Cllr Dave Robinson, said: “Each year on January 27, the world reflects on Holocaust Memorial Day. “It's a time for us all to pause to remember the millions of people who have been murdered or whose lives have been changed beyond recognition during the Holocaust, Nazi persecution and in subsequent genocides.

“At the annual service in Southport, we unite the many diverse strands of our communities and demonstrate how the lessons of the past can inform our lives today for a safer, better future.

“The service is an important event in our calendar and if you have the time, please join us to mark this day.”

The service in Southport is open to everyone, with refreshments served at the end. For more information visit www.hmd.org.uk

Ink regretters can sign up to next series of Tattoo Fixers THE producers of a TV show which provides 'cover-up' designs for tattoo regretters are appealing for any Sefton residents who wish they had never been inked to get in touch.

The casting team for E4’s hit show, Tattoo Fixers are currently looking for people that need help for the new series which will start filming in London from next month.

ENTERTAINMENT The cast of Beauty and the Beast. Picture by Ron Ellis

Modern twist on Beauty and the Beast goes down a treat!

Beauty and the Beast All Souls Dramatic Club The Atkinson, Southport Review by Ellen Campbell ALL Souls Dramatic Club are renowned in Southport for their superb pantomimes.

Written and directed once again by Cliff Gillies, Beauty and the Beast had all the makings of a professional show.

With the French flags flying high and the dancing troupe in red white and blue the audience was transported to a little village in France for the tale of Beauty and the Beast.

Comedy was in plentiful supply with Cliff Gillies reprising his role as panto dame, this time as Dame Doralee.

Leading lady, the beautiful Belle, was played by Chloe Hughes, another hugely

talented performer who sang and danced her way through the panto magnificently.

Belle fell in love with Prince Adam (Chris Seery) but he was engaged to the ‘wicked witch’ of the show, Celine (Lucy Brindle), leader of a squad of troublemakers, Schnapps, Kahlua and Tequila (Mia Scott, Joanne Wasilew and Gabbi Haddock), who represented the teenagers of the day with their non-stop selfies and updates to social media.

Furious at rejection, Celine turned Adam into The Beast, Ian Lawson in good voice as Adam’s ferocious alter ego.

Chauvon (Neil Woods), epitomised the self-centred delusional hero everyone loves to loathe while Helen Gillies was Prince Adam’s valet, Mondiane.

Three hours including the interval, is really too long for any pantomime, especially for the little ones in the audience

who had to wait until late in the second half for the obligatory slapstick scene where Gustav (Mark Haygarth) doused with gunge and water as he was made into a cake.

In fact, with 19 numbers in the show, this was more of a musical than a children’s panto, and one with a clear message to the young people in the audience, and especially the young females, namely to grow up knowing you can achieve anything you wish and never to let anyone underestimate you.

With sparkling costumes, exhilarating dance routines and rousing music, Chris Gillies and his production team of Matthew Hughes, Katie Palfrey and Chloe Hughes, along with the whole cast and backstage staff, well deserved their enthusiastic applause.

Star Rating: 8/10 - J'ai aimé le panto!

Symphony orchestra to host concert CROSBY Symphony Orchestra will hold an afternoon concert of exciting orchestral music specially chosen to appeal to a young audience.

The e-Pallette is quite literally a box on wheels - and a possible vision of our motoring future

TOYOTA seems to have forgotten that it’s a carmaker. Or at least that’s the impression you’d be entirely right for getting if its latest offering is anything to go by.

Just when I was readying myself to find out what it’ll be unveiling at this week’s Detroit Motor Show – a successor to the Supra, perhaps, or a long overdue rework of the C-HR’s rear end – it turns out that it’s gone to the Consumer Electronics Show instead, which is a sort of American tech-fest where everyone excitedly looks at laptops and smartphones.

Obviously it couldn’t unveil a car because that’s old hat, 20th century tech – a box on wheels, if you like. So the world’s biggest automotive giant decided to unveil just that.

A box on wheels –and Toyota will thank me for calling it that.

The e-Pallette might look like something you’d attack with an Allen key after a weekend visit to IKEA but that’s exactly the point; it’s meant to be

empty, and already there are various big names who are touting this autonomous cube as ideal tools for their business.

Amazon likes it because it can be used as an autonomous delivery drone, and Pizza Hut reckon you could fill it up with chefs and ovens and dispatch it to wherever there’s a party packed with peckish students.

Uber reckon it’ll take off because you can pack it with people (and not have to pay a driver to take them anywhere), and if you stretch the wheelbase it can even perform the sort of work long-distance lorry drivers are paid to do.

But whether I sign up as a fan depends entirely on whether it can be fitted with a towbar, should it ever make production.

Toyota has touted the idea of the e-Pallette being used as a hotel room on wheels too, but I’d be much more interested in sticking my MGB GT on a trailer, hitching it to the back and then using it as a sort of autonomous motorhome that transports me and my wheels on petrolhead holidays.

I’d love the idea of taking my pride and CAR SALES joy to, say, the Scottish CENTRAL GARAGE, 101 Ormskirk Road, Rainford Highlands without Tel:(01744) 883454 having to spend the VIEW ALL THESE CARS WITH PICTURES AT first day of my holiday www.arthurdagnallcarsales.co.uk resting because driving up there in a 45-year2014 (64) TOYOTA AURIS ICON 5DR, in vermillion, with A/C, e/pack, Bluetooth, alloys, CD, DAB radio, ONLY ELEVEN THOUSAND MILES .... £9,995 old sports car is so tir2014 (64) PEUGEOT 2008 ACTIVE 1.2 CROSSOVER ESTATE, in bronze, with A/C, e/pack, alloys, Bluetooth, CC, CD etc, ing.

Two hat-tricks in Bucks’ goal blitz Bootle 10 AFC Darwen 0 BOOTLE produced their best performance of the season smashing ten goals past AFC Darwen, writes Connor O’Neill.

Dominating from start to finish, Bootle ruthlessly dispatched their East Lancashire counterparts in a rout at the TDP Solicitors Stadium with Ryan Cox and Andrew Gillespie both scoring hat-tricks.

The Bucks opened the scoring on ten minutes when neat play saw Liam Loughlin release Kieran Haligan down the right, the wing-back then crossed for Cox who ended his two-month drought by heading the ball home from close-range.

Cox collected his second of the afternoon after Charlie Kelly’s long-range effort was spilled by Steve James in the Darwen goal and he converted the rebound at the second time of asking.

Darwen were reduced to ten men when Ryan McKenna got a red card for a late lunge on Cox who completed his hat-trick on 37 minutes when he turned home Carl Peers’ low cross.

Minutes later, Peers teed up Cox’s strike partner, Jack McGowan, who

had the easiest of finishes from six yards out.

Ryan Jones in goal was called into action in the closing stages of the half when he saved an effort from Jamie Edwards before Joel Powell blocked Tim Drugan's follow-up.

Thirteen minutes into the secondhalf and Peers would get his name on the scoresheet. The Bucks’ newly named vice-captain latched on to substitute Connor Millington’s through ball before confidently finishing past James.

From the 75th minute to the 82nd minute, the game belonged to fellow substitute Andrew Gillespie, who fired home a quick-fire hat-trick. His first arrived when he turned home Matty Coughlan’s cross.

The former St Helens man then converted Millington’s cross from closerange – before reacting quickest to a loose ball inside the Darwen box and firing under the onrushing James.

Connor Millington made it nine from the penalty spot after Kieran Haligan was hacked down by Luke Jarrold.

The substitute then completed the rout in stoppage time when he finished Haligan’s cross from the right.

Reds outclassed as they face battle to pull away from danger zone 1874 Northwich 4 AFC Liverpool 1 AFC Liverpool were outclassed on their trip to the high-flying 1874 Northwich, but the eventual scoreline flattered the hosts.

The first half was nearly all oneway traffic as the hosts peppered the Reds area with a series of crosses, but the back line dealt with them well.

James Howell cleared off the line from a corner but the hosts took the lead with a well-taken free kick from Taylor Kennerley.

Following a tactical change the Reds created several chances of their own with Kevin Edgar and Lee Hughes firing narrowly wide.

Northwich hit the post once again, before Danny Boden created a good chance, that begged for a tap-in at the far post, but the chance was lost.

The Reds equalised within a minute of the break, winning a corner which produced a header against the post, and Edgar slotted home the follow-up.

The jubilation was brief as Kennerley soon sent in another free-kick, this time converted by Ryan Mitchell.

AFC forced a great save from Gregory Hall in the 1874 goal followed and the keeper denied Edgar again two minutes later but the Reds hopes of a comeback were dashed following a defensive lapse as prolific scorer Scott McGowan turned in the box and slotted home under Dominic Garner to make it 3-1.

Three minutes later he doubled his tally with another well-taken strike to make it 4-1.

The Reds now have a mountain to climb once their managerial situation is resolved to lift them away from the danger zone in the Hallmark Security League Premier.

Quirk scores all three for Remyca COLIN Quirk scored a hat-trick as Litherland REMYCA beat Carlisle City 3-0 with all his goals coming in

the last 15 minutes. The win keeps Remyca in second place in the North West Counties Divison One table.

Danny Mitchley scores his second penalty of the game to make it 3-2.

It’s Dover and out for battling Mariners Dover Athletic 4 Marine 3 MARINE’S FA Trophy adventure came to an end on Saturday after losing a seven goal thriller to high-flying National League side Dover.

But the 150 Mariners supporters who had made the 300 mile journey were treated to a brave performance from their side, made even more impressive by playing most of the match with ten men after Billy Smart was sent off in the first half.

In chilly and gloomy conditions in Kent, and with the Mariners facing a club two divisions and 61 places above them in the nonleague pyramid, the home side began as firm favourites to progress and were soon on the front foot as leading scorer Ryan Bird headed a yard over the crossbar.

Marine found themselves behind in the sixth minute after a free-kick whipped in by Pinnock saw centre-back Essam's header palmed away at full-stretch by Martin Fearon.

From the resulting corner Bird won the initial header, and Richards' flick-on reached Parry whose back-header gave Athletic the early advantage.

Despite having not scored in four league fixtures over the festive period the Mariners have been galvanised in this season's Trophy run, and sure enough it took a mere four minutes for them to restore early parity.

Skipper Danny Mitchley pinched possession in Dover territory as the homesters looked to break forward. McGrath cut inside and fired a goalbound shot which was deflected aerially to the back-post, but James Short's attempt to head the ball back into the danger area was curtailed as home keeper Walker flattened the left-back in his attempt to punch clear.

The referee awarded a penalty and Mitchley stepped up to fire it into the top-corner.

The home side regained the lead just before the half-hour mark as left-back Ilesanmi was allowed to carry the ball 30 yards into Marine territory before delivering a pinpoint cross, Bird soaring to head home from ten yards and give Fearon little chance.

At the other end McGrath continued to look dangerous for the Yellows but despite a couple of promising runs the winger was unable to produce a telling end product. The Mariners were dealt a blow two minutes before the break when Billy Smart was

dismissed for a late, dangerous challenge on Parry. The home side sought to capitalise on their numerical advantage early in the second period. A free-kick 30 yards from goal was whipped in by Dover skipper Brundle but Fearon was well-positioned to hold securely on the first bounce.

The game looked to be up for Marine on 54 minutes as Phil Baker's laboured attempt to clear allowed Richards to close and make a block, the striker holding off Baker’s challenge to feed Pinnock who took a touch and stepped inside before curling a sumptuous left-footed finish beyond Fearon's despairing dive from 22 yards for the goal of the game.

The Mariners found a glimmer of home with 15 minutes remaining when Mitchley's sharp turn in the Dover area once again proved too quick for the lumbering Parry who stuck out a leg and brought Marine's leading scorer down. Mitchley defied Walker's best efforts with another precisely taken spot-kick in front of the travelling support.

With eight minutes of the 90 remaining another Dover attack saw the homesters punish tiring Marine legs.

Substitute Jeffery's low cross from the left-flank was only halfcleared as far as Brundle who fired home from 15 yards.

Still the valiant Mariners refused to accept defeat and the tireless Michael Brewster sought to single-handedly reduce the deficit once more.

In the 87th minute he pinched possession on half-way before surging toward the Dover box, the midfielder playing a neat one-two before beating Walker from an acute angle as his fiercely-struck finish nestled inside the far post to set up a grandstand finish.

Marine found one final opportunity to secure a replay when Mitchley was felled 25 yards from goal but substitute Liam Tongue couldn’t find one final moment of magic as his rather tame free-kick sailed straight through to the goalkeeper.

However, time elapsed to bring Marine's Trophy run to an end, but with the Crosby club having given an incredible display of heart, resolve, and sheer character on an afternoon in which those in yellow defied the script time and again.

The Mariners now return to league action and will look to progress from their lowly position in the Evo Stik Premier Division table. Their next fixture sees them make the relatively short trip to Derbyshire to face Mickleover Sports on Saturday.

“After a three hour journey and a very heavy pitch I think we were more than satisfied to come away with maximum point from this one,” declared director of rugby Steve Wood after the game.

“The conditions were against open flowing

rugby but we had a game plan and stuck to it and full credit to the whole squad in not just taking the win but not conceding any points.”

Waterloo opened with a try from Jack Hawkins who took his opportunity after the ball had been swung wide from a series of driving plays, Nick Dyer adding the conversion.

A delightful miss pass from Jimmy Muir to Luke Nelson made it three with Dyer’s conversion allowing the visitors a 0-19 advantage at the interval.

With conditions underfoot deteriorating the second half became something of a slog but with the pack driving through the middle of the field Scott Robson found Joe Randa who

skipped round the St Benedicts full back for a try under the posts for the bonus point, Dyer adding the conversion.

Wood added: “Four wins have done much to boost confidence throughout the squad and, given that injuries mean we had to use players drafted in from the seconds, we are happy where are at this stage of the season.”

Waterloo host Stockport on Saturday who could prove to be tough opponents as they have recruited new players over the midwinter break.
