Headteacher’s plea to dog owners over leaving mess Homes plan at garden centre site rejected A CLOSED down garden centre in Thornton will remain for the time being after a planning application to replace it with houses was rejected by Sefton Council.

The Champion has reported how Chorley Community Housing had wanted to demolish the former Rushton's Garden Centre and Coffee Shop, on Runnells Lane, and replace them with 31 houses and five bungalows.

The proposal looked set to go-ahead after it was “recommended for approval” by the local authority, but it has now been dismissed due to an issue with the design of the entrance point to the site.

A decision notice on the council's website claims the housing layout “creates a discordant feature at the prominent entrance point to the site and therefore fails to comply with policy.”

It comes after the Champion reported how Highways England were left “concerned about a marginal impact” of the development on their plans to build a road through Rimrose Valley Park to link Switch Island to the docks.

As a result of this concern, Highways England placed a ‘holding direction’ on Chorley Housing’s application, meaning Sefton Council could not approve it.

It forced the housing firm to submit a revised plan, which then satisfied Highways England, but it was rejected anyway by the council.

Rushton’s Garden Centre was closed in 2014 and the coffee shop suffered the same fate last year.

Traders unite in bid to halt spree of burglaries

Car tyre fitter was attacked at garage in front of customers Report by Lynda Roughley A TYRE fitter was viciously attacked at his job in Waterloo with the steel rim of an alloy wheel over an alleged drugs debt - while a customer and a young boy stood nearby.

And after repeatedly hitting victim Michael Mulhearn with the weapon his attacker, John Taylor, walked back to the defenceless man as he still lay on the ground and kicked him in the face.

Mr Mulhearn had been fixing a tyre for a customer at Willow Tyres, on Mersey View, Waterloo, when 28-year-old Taylor - who was on licence having only been freed from prison two months earlier - walked into the premises and the incident occurred.

Liverpool Crown Court heard on Friday, February 23 that Taylor was recalled to jail after the attack to complete his previous sentence and his earliest release date is June next year.

Sentencing him to 32 months imprisonment Judge David Aubrey, QC, regretfully pointed out that this new term has to run from today rather than when Taylor’s earlier sentence ends next summer.

This means the new sentence, which has to meet national sentencing guidelines, “will make little difference” to his release Willow Tyres garage. date.

Taylor, of Warbreck Road, Orrell Park, pleaded guilty to unlawful wounding.

Charlotte Atherton, prosecuting, said that on Friday afternoon, September 15 last year Taylor walked into the premises and had an altercation with Mr Mulhearn in front of a customer and child.

The two men then went outside and Mr Mulhearn punched Taylor in the face. The owner of the premises tried to intervene but Taylor then picked up the steel rim from an alloy wheel “and proceeded to strike the victim about the head and body with it.

“The first blow knocked Mr Mulhearn to the ground and he was then struck five times to the head and body while on the floor,” said Miss Atherton, who played CCTV footage of the incident to the court.

“He put the wheel rim down but returned and kicked the victim in the face while he was on the floor before leaving.”

The victim told police he was in fear of the defendant and said the incident related to a drug debt the defendant said he owed him.

The court heard Taylor has seven previous convictions for 11 offences including assault and his most recent sentence in 2016 for possessing Class A and Class B drugs with intent to supply for which he was jailed for 38 months.

John Rowan, defending, said the defendant suffers from depression and sleep problems.

His partner’s father runs a charitable business and he has been offered a job with it when he is freed and hopes to start a family.

Last week's Champion article about calls for a second consultation

Second consultation over ‘rat run’ road barrier to be held Report by Tom Martin

RESIDENTS and motorists will get a chance to have a say on whether Edgemoor Drive in Thornton should remain blocked off in a second consultation to be held on the issue.

The Champion reported last week how there had been calls for Sefton Council to stage a second survey after claims that not enough residents had been made aware of the first consultation.

The initial survey led to the closure of Edgemoor Drive, used as a ‘rat run.’

The move has split opinion, with some arguing that it has led to Moor Lane becoming grid-locked at peak times, while others claim it has actually helped improve the traffic flow.

Now, a council report states that a fresh threeweek consultation will be held in mid-March and all residents who live on or near to Edgemoor Drive will be sent consultation packs.

People who live outside the 'zone' will be invited to fill out a survey online.

There will be two options available to choose from: either to keep the closure in place and make it permanent, or alternatively re-open the road and “investigate alternative traffic management measures.”

The council report states: “This consultation and monitoring plan will provide the information needed to assess the impacts of the closure and whether or not the closure should be maintained.

“The consultation process will allow residents and

Supermarket staff are set to get sporty for charity STAFF at a Crosby supermarket will be spending next month raising funds for Sport Relief.

Those who work at Sainsbury’s, in Crosby Village, will be taking part in fun activities from March 17-23, a cycle challenge, a bag packing event and much more.

Nicola Store, manager at Sainsbury ’s Crosby said: “Our colleagues love getting involved with Sport Relief fundraising and we’re all really

area to keep their eyes open for anything suspicious.

Caroline from Caz’s Kitchen said: “I have reached out to members of the police, Sefton Council, councillors, traders, schools, and significant others within the Waterloo community to try and facilitate a community meeting to discuss what else we can all be doing to make the streets safer for all.

“There isn’t one solution, we all need to work together to implement what we can, however small, but these things will add up and make a difference.”

Those who own a home in the area are also taking extra precautions after a spate of house burglaries.

One homeowner, Faye Neild, said: “We had CCTV put up at the front and back of the house months ago because we were hearing of all these break-ins.

“Every year it seems to happen around here with opportunists climbing through windows or trying back doors.

“I think everyone needs to be extra careful.”

A spokesperson for Merseyside Police said: “We are aware of an increase in vehicle crime and burglaries in and around St John's Road.

“We have increased patrols including plain clothes and foot patrols. Please keep reporting anything suspicious.”

proud to support such a great cause.”

Sainsbury ’s shoppers can now pick up the official Sport Relief merchandise in store to support the charity.

This year, items include wristbands, pin badges, deeley boppers, water bottles and much more.

Customers can also win great prizes by buying a £1 scratchcard in store – with all proceeds going to Sport Relief.

other interested bodies to provide the council with their views and opinions in relation to the closure.

“Properties within the consultation area will receive a consultation pack through their letterbox.

People outside the consultation area will be able to respond to the consultation online.”

The report also details the lengths the council has gone to in order to gather information and data of traffic flow on Moor Lane as a result of the road closure.

It states: “The council have put a monitoring plan in place to ensure sufficient data are collected to allow the impact on the wider road network to be adequately assessed.”

This will use methods such as traffic counts, traffic camera monitoring, queue length measurement, bus journey time data, traffic signal data and the use of ‘Google Traffic’. In addition comments received from both residents and stakeholders will be collated and form part of the assessment.”

This report, together with the results of the consultation will then be presented to Sefton cabinet members and ward councillors.

A decision will then be made “seeking to balance the needs of the wider highway network and that of the local community.”

Meanwhile, residents who live in the Edgemoor Drive area have organised a public meeting at St William of York Social Club on Saturday, March 3 from 1pm.

Organisers say it will be an “open minded and positive” meeting which welcomes the views of all residents who live in the nearby area.

They have also placed a comments box at the Londis corner shop, on The Crescent, for people to leave their thoughts on the issue.

INSPECTORS say Aintree University Hospital NHS Trust must improve as the quality of its patient care has “deteriorated.”

Inspectors from the Care Quality Commission visited in October, 2017 looking at management and leadership, and found “some deterioration in the quality of services” provided by the trust since a inspection was undertaken in 2014.

As a result, the trust’s overall rating has changed from ‘Good’ to ‘Requires Improvement.’

The regulator said there were concerns with the hospital’s emergency care with some patients waiting too long for treatment while on one ward there was no way for patients to call staff.

The trust said it was “clearly disappointed” but will work on areas where improvement is needed.

Deputy chief inspector of hospitals Ellen Armistead said: “We found in urgent and emergency services that there weren’t always enough staff with the right skills and training on duty to keep people safe.

“Patients were waiting too long for treatment and the service consistently struggled to meet their emergency department four hour target.

“On wards, environments weren’t always fit for purpose, and affected the privacy of patients.

“Some patients didn’t always receive a timely response to requests of help, on one ward there were no call bells to get the attention of staff.”

They added that the trust, with around 4,800 staff, has an open culture and the senior leadership were

experienced and stable, but they should engage more effectively with staff to create a culture of empowerment to help drive improvement.

Inspectors will continue to monitor the service.

Some areas where the trust must improve are: Implementing processes to protect people in vulnerable circumstances; In urgent and emergency services, there should be sufficient staff to look after patients at all times; The trust must ensure medicines are managed properly and safely; Patients’ information should not be visible, to ensure their privacy on the medical wards: The trust must ensure discussions are held and documented to reflect the preferences of the patient and their family in end of life services.”

Inspectors found some areas of “outstanding practice” in the pharmacy.

Dr Tristan Cope, medical director at Aintree hospital, said: “We are disappointed not to receive a rating of Good but we note areas where improvement is needed and we are working on these.

“The inspectors have recognised the efforts staff have made on behalf of patients.

“We are very proud that surgery was rated Good in all areas, and all areas inspected across the Trust received a Good rating for caring.

“The inspectors found patients appreciated the efforts we make to deliver compassionate care, with dignity and respect, despite the continued pressures of treating large numbers of very ill patients.

“We are fully committed to providing high quality, compassionate care and we will use the findings of the report as the basis of our improvement work.”

More could face charges over Hillsborough Report by Tom Martin A DECISION on whether to charge David Duckenfield in relation to the Hillsborough tragedy will be made in April.

A hearing was held on Monday, February 26 at Preston Combined Court to see if a legal restriction could be lifted which protects the former Chief Superintendent from prosecution.

However, the hearing was postponed until April due to an issue over the 73year-old’s legal funding.

Meanwhile, the Crown Prosecution Service’s (CPS) review of a West Midlands Police (WMP) evidence file relating to two suspects is almost complete.

The CPS expects to announce charging decisions relating to these individuals within the next three weeks.

A statement from the Independent Office for Police Conduct said: “We referred around 61,000 pages of evidence to the CPS in January 2017.

Further investigative work was required on the file, resulting in an additional 12,000 pages of evidence being submitted at the end of May 2017.

“As a result, it was not possible for the CPS to make charging decisions on the WMP matters at the same time as those announced in June last year. Since then extensive work has been ongoing to review this evidence.

Former South Yorkshire Police Chief Superintendent David Duckenfield

“We will also provide the outcome of its evidence review relating to three former South Yorkshire Police officers who are suspects but have not been previously referred to the CPS. This review will include whether or not a CPS referral will now be made so that criminal charges can be formally considered.

At this stage, it is expected that both WMP charging decisions and the evidence review in relation to the SYP officers will be communicated together.

“It should be noted that criminal proceedings are live and the defendants have a right to a fair trial.

“It is extremely important that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings.”

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

Following on from the huge success of the Year of the Coast, the tireless work of Sefton’s thousands of volunteers, who give thousands of hours of their time each week, is being celebrated in a yearlong campaign to raise awareness of how much volunteers do for the borough. Volunteers make a real difference in Sefton. They touch people’s lives in so many different ways, providing comfort and support, fostering community development, and actively helping to keep Sefton clean, green and beautiful. Volunteering also has a positive impact on the health and wellbeing of those who participate in it. The Year of the Volunteer was officially launched on Tuesday, February 6 at The Atkinson, Southport. Partners, community groups and residents had a chance to learn more about what 2018 has in store for the volunteer sector and how to get involved.

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

Volunteers Needed To Create A Real Buzz In Formby!

Children Help Spruce Up Bowersdale Park

The volunteer led Freshfields Animal Rescue Centre has won a top national award with the help of the Year of the Volunteer Campaign

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

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

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

Green fingered litter pickers as young as five have helped spruce up Bowersdale Park in Seaforth.

The Ince Blundell based rescue centre won the Charity Today Magazine’s ‘Animal Welfare Charity of the Year’ award after residents across #MySefton were asked to nominate them on social media through the Year of the Volunteer.

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

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

Ten children and dozens of adults descended on the park collecting an astonishing forty full bin bags worth of litter which inconsiderate visitors had dumped there.

But how can you get involved?

Beach Helpers Brush Up A Storm After Geraldine

Make It Workshop, a not-for-profit social enterprise based in Southport, are on the lookout for more volunteers.

Sefton’s Coast and Countryside team are supported by hundreds of volunteers called the Friends of Sefton Coast, who give up just a small portion of their time throughout the year to keep our coastline beautiful.

Over forty hardy volunteers who make up the Friends of the Sefton Coast descended on Ainsdale beach in January to clean up after Storm Geraldine. 10 metre high tides washed up tons of debris along the Sefton coast following the storm.

From beach cleans after a storm to buckthorne bashing, there’s always plenty to get your teeth into on the Sefton Coast.

In total five trailer loads of rubbish was collected and properly disposed of, along with another 145 bin bags of debris.

The Volunteer run fundraising shops includes a workshop where they test and repair items such as renovated telephones and other interesting and quirky items. They are currently looking for volunteers to join their team.

Priest charged with possessing indecent images of children By our Court Reporter A SENIOR Roman Catholic priest has appeared in court for charges related to possession of indecent images of children.

Father Thomas Wood, 55, served as priest of Our Lady Star of the Sea RC Church in Seaforth for 19 years before becoming priest in charge of Our Lady's and St Gregory the Great RC Churches in Lydiate in 2015.

He is also Judicial Vicar for Liverpool Archdiocese.

He gave no indication to plea when he appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court on February 21.

The first charge states that between November 11 and November 14 of 2015 while at Southport Road, in Lydiate, he had in his possession indecent photographs of children.

The second charge states that between the same dates as the first charge, he made indecent pseudo photographs of a child.

According to Government guidance a pseudo-photograph is an image made by computer-graphics or otherwise which appears to be a photograph.

This can include: photos, videos, tracings and derivatives of a photograph, and data that can be converted into a photograph.

Making of an indecent image can refer to opening, accessing, downloading and storing online content.

The Judicial Vicar of Liverpool handles all legal duties for the RC church, ranging from marriage to the possible creation of new saints.

The Archdiocese of Liverpool says that Wood has been suspended from both of his roles within the

church pending the outcome of the court proceedings. He was represented by solicitor Paul Mullin.

Chairman of the magistrates’ bench, Bruce McGrath, sent the matters to Liverpool Crown Court where Wood will appear for a plea, and trial preparation hearing on March 21.

He was granted bail on condition that he has no unsupervised access to any child under the age of 18 years old and lives and sleeps at the Southport area address he gave to the court.

A statement from the Archdiocese of Liverpool said: “The charges do not relate to his work in the archdiocese.”

Historian’s new book BEST WESTERN contains 160 stunning LANCASHIRE MANOR HOTEL images of Liverpool Report by Tom Martin A LOCAL author has published his 19th book – this time focusing on the history of Liverpool.

Hugh Hollinghurst, 79, from Blundellsands, has penned Historic England Liverpool, which showcases around 160 stunning images of the city's most well-known spots.

In order to put together the collection, Hugh had to sort through more than one million images on Historic England’s website to find his favourites.

He said: “It was a challenge to complete it as I had only five months but I enjoyed doing the research to shed new light on the great city to pass on to others.

“Use of aerial photographs meant that I was able to give a picture of the city not only from the ground but from above.

“The contents range from the docks and waterfront to transport, business and commerce.

“Culture, worship, homes and leisure are also covered.

“It is profusely illustrated with over 160 images many of them in colour “They are arranged in chronological order to give the first history of the area of the borough.

“My challenge to my readers is which would be your favourite 50? Find out mine and compare!”

Other books published by Hugh over the years includes the ‘Through Time’ series, which explores the history of Crosby, Seaforth and Bootle.

His previous book, entitled ‘Sefton in 50 Buildings’, gives a detailed description of his favourites from across the borough and includes coloured and older archived images.

Drug addict mum stole £800 from a trusting elderly friend By our Court Reporter A YOUNG drug addict mum from Seaforth who burgled sheltered accommodation and also stole almost £800 from an elderly trusting friend has been jailed.

After Kerry McCluskie was sentenced in court on Wednesday, February 21, she and her boyfriend tried to share a kiss over the dock rail as officers struggled to keep them apart.

The 32-year-old, who gave birth to her fourth child while on remand at Styal Prison, was bundled to the cells to begin a 20 month sentence.

Liverpool Crown Court heard that her three other children were taken into care and have been adopted but she is hoping to bond with her baby daughter.

Judge Elizabeth Nicholls said that she took into account her ambition to stay drug free, achieved while spending four months on remand, but pointed out that she had been seven months pregnant when she committed the burglary.

McCluskie, of Maple Close, Seaforth, had pleaded guilty to theft and burglary and admitted breaching her bail.

Graham Pickavance, prosecuting, told the court that on February 22 last year she visited a 70-year-old man at his home in Liverton Court, St Domingo Grove, Everton.

It was not uncommon for her to call round and he would give her £20 but as he had no cash he gave her his bank card and she went to a cash machine.

She returned later with the card and put it in his bag but came back two days later and while he was using the toilet she went out for a while before returning.

On February 26 he went to use his bank card and found he only had £40 in his account and investigation showed five withdrawals totalling £810.

McCluskie was arrested and bailed and on August 4 she went to the home

College hosts ‘traineeship’ event for young people HUGH Baird College hosted an event to showcase ‘traineeship’ vacancies for young people.

The Bootle college runs the Traineeship scheme for people aged between 16-24, who sign up to complete a minimum of six weeks study spread over two days a week in areas such as Functional Skills and Employability.

Once qualifications are completed, learners then have the opportunity to progress onto an apprenticeship programme or remain employed by their chosen employer.

Hugh Baird College traineeship co-ordinator, Monica Powell said: “The scheme is designed to give learners good quality work experience in their chosen careers, while simultaneously up-skilling them through recognised qualifications.

“It is designed to make sure they grow in confidence and ultimately gain an apprenticeship or employment.”

Visitors were treated to talks from companies such as Banardo’s, Scope, Blok n Mesh, South Sefton Foodbank and The Orrell Trust.

of a retired woman in sheltered accommodation in Willow House, Maple Close, Seaforth while the resident was out walking her dog.

“She returned to find the door was open,” said Mr Pickavance.

“Her dog started growling and she could see the defendant. She ran to the home of a neighbour who saw the defendant walking out.

“She said ‘I know you’ and she responded saying, ‘sorry, I thought it was my nan’s, I get mixed up.’”

A passer-by told the victim McCluskie’s name and she was arrested in March.

She failed to attend court in June and a warrant was issued for her arrest. When re-arrested she denied going into the property to steal and said she thought it was a friend’s home and “it was a mistake.”

The victim, who walks with a stick, said she has since moved home because of the trauma which upset her whole family.

Brendan Carville, defending, said McCluskie, who has numerous previous convictions including dishonesty, had been addicted to prescribed and illicit drugs.

She has stayed away from drugs while on remand in the last four months and asks for “one last chance,” said Mr Carville.

Residents to pay extra £1 each month ‘to save police jobs’ Commissioner criticises government for shifting cost burden onto council tax payers Report by Tom Martin MERSEYSIDE’S Police and Crime Commissioner has criticised the government as Sefton taxpayers prepare to fork out more to support officers.

The police precept part of the council tax will increase by £1 a month across Merseyside after members of the Police and Crime Panel unanimously approved a plan which they say will help safeguard officers’ jobs.

Commissioner Jane Kennedy’s budget plan follows the announcement in December that the police would receive no new money from the Home Office.

Instead, Policing Minister Nick Hurd MP said he expected Police and Crime Commissioners to ask local people to pay more.

Commissioner Kennedy said: “Setting the budget is never an easy task, but this year was particularly challenging.

Police Commissioner “While the governJane Kennedy ment recognised and highlighted the need for additional resources for policing, they once again failed to provide it.

“Instead, they sidestepped their responsibility by making it clear that local people should be asked to make up the shortfall.

“This has shifted the burden of paying for the police service from those who earn the most increasingly on to the shoulders of those who earn the least. It is a regressive step.

“As the Police and Crime Panel recognised, I have effectively been left with no alternative.

“Thankfully, local people have once again demonstrated their commitment to supporting local policing, sadly the same cannot be said for this government.

“The Government’s promise to protect the police is broken. The Force has lost 1,100 officers and more than 600 PCSOs and staff. We cannot afford to lose any more.

“I will continue to do everything I can, working with the Chief Constable and the region’s MPs, to highlight my grave concerns to ministers and encourage them to better understand impact these ongoing cuts are having on Merseyside Police.”

Angel Revive Natural Alkaline Spring Water Volunteers clear 40 bin bags of litter from park LITTER pickers as young as five have helped spruce up Bowersdale Park in Seaforth recently and collected 40 full bin bags worth of litter which had been left on the ground.

The litter-pick was organised jointly by homeless charity Emmaus and the Friends of Bowersdale Park

group, with support from Sefton Council.

Cllr Ian Moncur, council cabinet member for wellbeing, said: “We were delighted so many people came out to clean up the park.

“The children were shocked that there are people who treat our parks with such dis-

respect by not disposing of their litter in a responsible way.

“At the end of the afternoon you could see the huge difference the volunteers had made to the park.

“We look forward to many similar events as part of our Year of the Volunteer campaign.”

Street parking permits are the only It’s not dogs who are dirty - it’s way to deal with ignorant drivers the owners who drop mess bags I am contacting you regarding an article in the Champion about angry resident complaining of residents parking scheme coming into place on Wadham Road and Bedford Road, Bootle.

I started the campaign to get this in situ almost two and a half years ago now.

I went through all the correct procedures - starting off with a petition which was then presented at The Area Committee meeting.

I attended all these meetings when the item was on the agenda - I was our spokesperson.

Parking has been an issue for several years due to local government offices and lack of parking in Bootle but it has been made worse in the last 3-4 years by Hugh Baird staff since the streets surrounding the college became residents parking only, therefore just moving the problem along.

We have had incidents with emergency vehicles unable to pass due to double parking.

A fire engine was attending a fire in South Park

but access was in Bootle Cricket Club.They had difficulty leaving the car park due to parked cars, so much so that they scratched a parked car which then resulted in the chief officer having to visit the site and fill out a report - a waste of valuable time in my opinion.

Also people park on the pavement and block the corner causing obstruction. As a resident it is difficult even arranging a delivery.

My point is - the resident complaining has had numerous correspondence over the last few years, they could of objected or attended the public meetings like I did.

Yes I don’t like having to pay £30 - or £60 in my case - to have to park outside my own home but this is the small price to pay for ignorant people with no care or consideration for others.

Name supplied, By email

One recent morning my neighbour and I were discussing the disgusting mess left outside our properties consisting of discarded poo bags.

As we were chatting a lady came around the corner walking her dog and in front of me blatantly threw a dog poo bag on the ground!

I said ‘excuse me you’ve dropped something’ to which she replied 'no I haven’t.

As I explained I'd actually witnessed it, she huffed and puffed and begrudgingly picked up the bag saying ‘It’s only bag of dog poo!’

My neighbour pointed out that were several other bags there and that the local school children had to walk past it - she’s obviously never heard that children can pick up diseases from dog mess.

We could not believe the nerve of the lady when we told her to take it home and put it in her bin as she told us to get a life!

Why do some dog walkers think it is acceptable to do this?

People see them picking it up and think 'Good - a responsible dog owner ' only for them to throw it back on the ground when they think no one can see them!

Why don't they drop it outside their own properties!

It’s not the dogs that are dirty - it’s some of their owners.

A word to people who do this - the council impose a fee of £80 and for a second offence £1,000.

RE: Blocking off Edgemoor Drive to reduce congestion on Moor Lane.

The trial will not produce the required results because it hasn’t addressed the real problem - that is to reduce traffic on Moor Lane heading into Crosby at rush hour times.

I would like to offer my ideas on how to gain relief from this Moor Lane traffic congestion.

Motorists who now turn left at the Edgemoor Drive and Edge Lane access to Moor Lane, are going west to Crosby.

Assuming half are going to the north end of Crosby and the rest going to Waterloo or south Crosby, then if it were possible to divert some of these motorists from Moor Lane a great deal of traffic could be taken out of the equation.

In the 1990s Rosemoor Drive and Cranfield Road were blocked off to prevent traffic entering Edgemoor Drive because they were being used as a short cut to the motorway.

These roads feed off Chesterfield Road.

If these roads were now opened to motorists traveling from Edge Lane they would be able to gain access to Chesterfield Road via the south end of Edgemoor Drive.

Drivers would then be able to Crosby and Waterloo without touching Moor Lane.

Many motorists coming down Moor Lane, from the new road and Edge Lane, are already turning left into Chesterfield Rd and Forefield Lane to travel through to Crosby and Waterloo.

Why not let the Edge Lane motorists filter off earlier?

This solution is not ideal but would reduce traffic on Moor Lane, ease congestion - and the barrier on Edgemoor Drive could remain in place.

Vets won’t bring We work hard to Please don’t park on the in many shoppers collect your waste path when using the church Re: Crosby Village Development.

I have just read that a vets’ practice wants to take over the former DIY store plot on Moor Lane.

A vets won’t bring many people to the shops and won’t bring many jobs.

So much for getting big names to come to our village.

Another let down by our councillors who are happy to get their face in the news, but don’t do anything for their constituents.

I would like to reply to the letter about the council’s recyclable waste collections.

Us lazy council workers haven’t cut back on recycling.

In fact two or three wagons a day cover these areas without bins, a separate wagon and crew for waste, recycling and food waste.

The backs of the wagons are too high to safely empty bags or boxes one at a time, so they are emptied into bins and then into the wagon for recycling.

It would be great if people would look into the facts before judging hard working people that are out clearing our streets regardless of the weather.

For the past several Tuesday mornings the footpath on Old Hall Road outside Maghull Baptist Church has been blocked by cars parking up on to the pavement.

I believe the church at that time is used by Maghull U3A group.

As a resident of the road, and a mum with two children, I find it not only inconvenient but highly dangerous to have to push my pram into the road to get past the obstruction.

The car park at the church generally looks full but I now

understand that the group can park on the cricket pitch car park which is off Hall Lane.

Can I appeal to people in this group to stop being so selfish and stop parking on the footpath.

They will be responsible if an accident happens.

Maybe the practice might cease if a few parking tickets were issued as the cars are obstructing a footpath.

Letters Extra Road closed to buses - but cars still use it!

Can anyone enlighten me as to what is happening in Altway, Aintree?

Some weeks ago signs went up indicating the road would be closing in the evenings for resurfacing work.

I rang Arriva bus company to check the 345 service would be running as normal and was told it would.

On Monday, February 19, I arrived at the bus stop to see a notice informing me that the 345 would now be going down Aintree Lane due to the closure of Altway.

Somebody should have told the many motorists who were driving down Altway at the time!

Since then I have seen abandoned steam rollers on Altway but no sign of any workmen.

Meanwhile our one bus service is still going down Aintree Lane which is hugely inconvenient to the many elderly people who in Aintree who depend on this service.

Appeal to find lost ring AN appeal has been made to help find a sentimental ring lost in Crosby.

Keith Robertson lost his gold signet ring on Saturday, February 24 when going to watch a football match at Marine FC’s ground on College Road.

The ring was given to Keith for his 21st birthday in 1955. It has his initials, ‘KR’, engraved onto the ring as well as the date 05/08/1955.

If anyone finds the ring, call 01704 876 831.

I can now add curling to the list of sports I watch on TV I am not that keen on sports.

I do watch snooker, darts and Formula One on TV, and my heart is a little gladdened to see Liverpool, Grimsby or Preston North End (don’t ask!) win at football.

Plus I suppose, the boat race and Grand National, but that's about the scope of my interest.

Oddly enough, though, I have never seen the National live despite living within a couple of miles of Aintree racecourse.

But strangely, I have taken the trouble to travel to Cheltenham for the Gold Cup and Royal Ascot (twice) for Ladies' Day. But now I have added another sport to my list of 'must watch.'

Curling!

And it came about by pure chance.

I have little real interest in the Winter Olympics.

I can see the attraction of the many skiing events, and the two-person bob sleigh is interesting though I can't get worked up about the skeleton (though I can marvel at the skill and courage needed).

My problem with most of these winter event is not that I do not appreciate the brilliance of the competitors, but that simply because they are all of such a tremendously high standard I cannot fathom how and why one is better than the other.

Yes, the ice races are OK - but even then, not knowing anything about the competitors, I do find it hard actually to get involved.

Anyway, while the Olympics were on it was virtually impossible to turn on the TV (on BBC1 or 2 at least) without finding yourself in a land of snow.

But then, suddenly, I found myself in the middle of a curling contest between Team GB women and some other.

And I started to watch.

At first, I thought this was rather like a slow game of bowls on ice - but after a short while I began to pick up the general idea of how curling is played and scored. And as a bonus (and I really do hope no twonk is going to start saying I'm being sexist or something) the women concerned were fully made up and very pretty.

One team member in particular had an endearing habit of looking really delighted when she had delivered a good stone.

You can't believe how cross I felt when I learned that we had lost the match (and thereby our chance of a gold medal) because the magic eye machinery reckoned the final player had not released her stone before it passed over the line (I forget what it's called).

This decision was upheld because the camera never lies (oh yes it does!) despite the fact that the team itself, and the commentators, were as sure as they could be that she had released in time.

As everyone knows, things such as speed cameras can from time to time and for various reasons, give a false reading - but the Gods of the curling rink weren't to be dissuaded.

I surprised myself about how I felt personally cheated over this result - which I thought would mean that was the last I would see of the Ladies’ Team GB. Happily I was wrong about that. Apparently the Byzantine scoring system for curling means that there are all kinds of ‘round robin’ and other bits and bobs which mean that as I write this, Team GB still had other games to play and could still, I think, get a Bronze.

And this is a game where both men and woman can compete - and compete on level terms. As far as I know, all mens teams do not actually play women, but there are mixed events and in any case the rules, equipment and 'course' are the same for either.

Actually, after four days of watching this sport, I can detect no difference in skill levels either.

The only real differences I can spot are that the men tend to make a heck of a lot more noise, and many of them sport beards - which considering the amount of ice involved is perhaps a sensible thing.

Anyhow, because of a chance choice of programme I can now add one more sporting event which I really want to watch.

Charity calls for all shipping lines to fund welfare levy for crews Report by Tom Martin A MARITIME charity is urging all shipping lines operating in the Port of Liverpool to contribute towards a new levy which will help fund welfare support for all their crew members.

Liverpool Seafarers Centre (LSC) say Peel Ports has already agreed to allow the voluntary levy, but charity boss John Wilson has been left “disappointed” after a number of shipping lines refused to pay.

Two of the North of England’s leading antiques experts will be offering free valuations and advice at Southport’s The Prince of Wales Hotel on Saturday 17 March between 10am and 3pm.

Hosted jointly by Thomas Watson’s of Darlington and Southport Auctions, this drop-in event provides an ideal opportunity to find out more about a whole range of objects, including silver, jewellery, ceramics, glass, pictures, or other collectibles.

“Many people are surprised by the value of things that they have just tucked away at home and it’s always fascinating to learn more about them,” said David Elstob, Director of Thomas Watson’s auction house and a RICS Chartered Arts and Antiques Surveyor – a qualification that puts him firmly into the industry’s highest ranking antiques valuers.

HAVE YOUR ANTIQUES VALUED FOR FREE BY TOP ANTIQUES EXPERTS

He will be joined at the event by Clive Taylor a Director of Southport Auctions and lecturer on the MA degree in Antiques at the University of Central Lancashire. With over 20 years’ experience in the antiques industry, Clive is also a Fellow of the National Association of Valuers and Auctioneers, and is well placed to know what is going up or down in value.

“Market trends do change and prices fluctuate, so an item that wasn’t worth much 10 years ago may have rocketed in value today, so it’s always worth seeking expert advice,” he said. “For instance, Chinese items are very popular at the moment and quality jewellery is reaching very high prices.”

All valuations made on the day are without obligation but anyone wishing to sell an item will be given the option to have it included in one of Thomas Watson’s forthcoming sales.

Alternatively, if anyone has large or multiple items then house calls can be arranged for Friday 16 March. To make arrangements, please call 01325 462559 or email enquiries@thomaswatson.com

Pharmacy scheme aims to increase people’s knowledge of services offered

Medical chiefs back new campaign

By Danielle Thompson MEDICAL chiefs from Sefton are backing a new campaign to highlight the range of illnesses that pharmacists are best placed to advise on.

Pharmacists offer free, expert, confidential advice on a range of health issues including what medicines are best to treat minor ailments such as coughs, colds, tummy troubles and teething pains.

That is the advice from health commissioners in Sefton who are encouraging residents to visit their local pharmacy team first for advice on minor health concerns.

NHS South Sefton Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and NHS Southport and Formby CCG are backing the national Stay Well Pharmacy campaign, aiming to increase understanding of how pharmacists can help when people are feeling under the weather.

Parents and carers of under-

Susanne Lynch, head of medicines management

fives are encouraged to think pharmacy first and remember the expert medical advice and treatments their local pharmacist can provide for common childhood conditions.

Susanne Lynch, head of medicines management at the CCGs said: “Pharmacists are highly qualified healthcare professionals who can suggest what, if any,

medicines are suitable to treat things like a sore throat or tummy troubles. If your condition is more serious, then your pharmacist will ensure you get the help you need by telling you who you need to see.

“People live very busy lives these days so, instead of booking a GP appointment, why not pop in to your community pharmacist who will be happy to help.”

Residents in Sefton can also benefit from a scheme called Care at the Chemist, which is a way to get advice and treatment without the need for an appointment. Medicines are free for anyone who doesn’t pay for their prescriptions, so long as they have proof of exemption. People who do pay for prescriptions will still be charged for medicines but if they cost less to buy over the counter than the prescription charge, the lower rate will be applied.

Church leader pays tribute to Billy Graham Report by Kenny Parker FOLLOWING the death of American evangelist Billy Graham, the Regional Minister for the North West Baptist Association, Phil Jump, has told of how Graham’s visit to Liverpool had a lasting impact on his own family as well as on the churches across the region.

Phil Jump, who lives in Maghull but whose job takes him to churches across Sefton and West Lancashire, says he and his wife Jan heard baptist Billy Graham preaching when he came to Anfield football stadium in 1984.

Mr Graham, who died on Wednesday February 21 at the age of 99, is recognised as one of the greatest evangelists of the 20th Century having visited 185 countries and preached to an estimated 215 million people.

Rev Jump said: “We are obviously all saddened by the news of Billy Graham’s death, though we rejoice in a long and fruitful life that has impacted millions around the globe, and an assured and evident faith in the Christian Gospel.

“There are many Christians

Rev Billy Graham, who has died aged 99.

across Merseyside, West Lancashire and the North West whose lives have been deeply impacted by the ministry of Billy Graham.

“I am one of many who took part in the famed Anfield campaign in 1984, and it was during this crusade that my wife Jan found faith.

“As North West Regional Minister, I had the privilege of visiting his home in North Carolina during a visit to the States and met his Grandson Will, who along with his wife is an avid Liverpool supporter. Perhaps the Anfield event left its mark on the Graham family too!

“Billy Graham had a particu-

larly straightforward and at times fundamentalist view of the Christian faith that might not be shared by everyone, but anyone who met and knew him had no doubt of his integrity and authenticity.

“My own experience of hearing him at Anfield bore this out – he was clear, measured and articulate in what he had to say, but was no great barnstormer and the hundreds who responded to his message were not drawn onto the pitch in some great wave of emotion and hype, but by a simple and understated invitation to become followers of Jesus.

“It was perhaps this uncompromising simplicity that accounts for the effectiveness of his ministry.

“I think it is also fair to say that Billy Graham’s visit to Liverpool in 1984, as part of the accompanying ‘Mission England’ initiative, was one of the key catalysts in the journey to unity and co-operation between our different Christian traditions that is such a valued feature of our city region today.

“We offer our condolences to all who mourn his loss and our thanksgiving for a man whose example and message will continue to inspire us for many years to come.”

Care for diabetics ranked as one of best in region

By Danielle Thompson CARE for diabetes patients in Sefton has been rated as among the best in the region after a report by independent inspectors.

Care standards for patients with Type 2 of the condition by the South Sefton Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and NHS Southport and Formby GGC were rated Good by the National Diabetes Audit (NDA), one of the largest annual clinical audits in the world.

This is the first year that the NDA has been compulsory, requiring all GP practices to report on eight different measures of care quality. The results represent further improvement for the two CCGs who signed a pledge to improve care for people with diabetes in February 2016. The pledge, put forward by national charity Diabetes UK, included a commitment to help more people with diabetes to maintain healthy blood glucose levels, crucial in managing the condition and avoiding complications such as diabetes-related amputations.

The following year, the CCGs

Care for type two diabetes patients was rated one of the best in the region

established a diabetes improvement group and also secured funding from NHS England for a pilot of the National Diabetes Prevention Programme (NDPP), the first nationwide initiative of its kind anywhere in the world.

The NDPP involves a structured education programme where people learn about how they can reduce the risk of contracting diabetes by changing their lifestyle. Since being launched in Sefton, 725 people have started on the programme with 65% losing an average of 3.2 kg and a reduction in waist

circumference of 3.4cm. Diabetes accounts for around 10% of the annual NHS budget with spending currently at around £8 billion a year.

Yvonne Browne, Diabetes UK influencing manager for the North West, said: “We are pleased to see NHS South Sefton CCG and NHS Southport and Formby CCG working to improve the quality of diabetes care. We look forward to seeing improvements continue and working with the CCGs to ensure better services for people living with diabetes in the local area.”

Public invited to transport meeting MAJOR transport links in the Liverpool City Region will be discussed at a meeting today (Wednesday, February 28) and locals are urged to attend and voice their opinion.

Transport for the North has started a 13 week consultation on its draft Strategic Transport Plan for the North, inviting people’s views at an event being held at Liverpool University’s Foresight Centre, on Brownlow Street, in the city centre, between 4-7pm.

Frank Rogers, chief executive of Merseytravel and interim head of paid service for the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority said: “Linking Liverpool City Region via new rail lines to the HS2 and Northern Powerhouse Rail networks will deliver an extra £15 billion boost to the Liverpool City Region economy.

“The recent £100 million commitment from the government for ‘passive provision’ to enable the connection of HS2 and Northern Powerhouse Rail lines between Liverpool and Manchester and Liverpool and London and the

subsequent confirmation that this will be included in the forthcoming Hybrid Bill for HS2 Phase 2b represent major steps forward.”

The drop-in consultation is an opportunity for members of the public to formally submit their feedback on the plan which will be analysed and fed into the final Strategic Transport Plan before its release later in the year.

The 30 year plan, which was released in draft on Tuesday, January 16 is the first of its kind and outlines how transport connections across the North of England need to be transformed by 2050 to drive growth and close the economic gap between the North and the rest of England.

Transport for the North’s public consultation runs until April 17 with similar engagement events taking place across the north.

A final version of the plan will be published later in the year and submitted to the government for ministerial consideration.

Mother’s Day is one of those dates that changes each year and in the UK, we celebrate it on the fourth Sunday of Lent, usually three weeks before Easter Sunday. It dates back to ancient Greek times but evolved from the 16th century practice of people returning to visit their ‘mother’ church – the local church in which they were baptised.

Fitness course for unemployed people Report by Tom Martin SEFTON residents who are looking for a job are invited onto a training course designed to kick-start a career in the sports and fitness industry.

Active Sefton is running the 16-week course called Aspiring Instructors which is targeted at unemployed locals with an interest in sports and fitness. Developed by the council and part funded by the Ways to Work ESF programme, it will help to improve skills and employability for residents across the borough.

Set to begin in March, the programme will combine a mix of coaching and work placement with those taking part receiving nationally recognised qualifications on completion of the course.

Cllr Ian Moncur, Sefton Council’s Labour Cabinet Member for Health

and Wellbeing, said: “Aspiring Instructors has proved very popular in previous years, with many attendees qualifying as Outdoor Activities Instructors, Fitness Instructors and Lifeguards. This is a brilliant opportunity for anybody who is looking for a career in health and fitness and who in the future will have the skills to promote health and wellbeing across the borough."

Cllr Marion Atkinson, Sefton Council's Labour Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Skills, added: “This is a ground-breaking unemployment programme that has helped Sefton residents to learn new skills, increase employability, socialise and get active.

“Despite the financial challenges the council is facing we remain committed and use every opportunity we can to build resilient communities in line with our 2030 vision and this is one of the examples of how we are doing it. I urge anyone interested, to book a place on the open day.”

The deadline for applications is this Friday ( March 2). To apply or for more information please contact Active Sefton on 0151 288 6278.

ENTERTAINMENT

Theatre company looking for new members THE Waterloo & Crosby Theatre Company (WCTC), an all inclusive group that has been in existence since 1982, is looking for more members.

They have been performing productions around the local community since this time including musicals, plays, concerts, youth shows, quizzes, talent shows, and of course, the Annual Family Christmas Pantomime.

There have been a number of changes over the last year since Nicci Henshaw,

now chairman, has taken over the reins.

Nicci said: “We are now a registered charity and we are looking to expand our range of community events that we put on throughout the year.

“Our current membership ranges between the ages of seven years and 84 years and over. We are always looking to welcome new members to both the theatre side of the company and the choir.

“We rehearse in a number of different venues around the Crosby area and we are an all inclusive society.

“As well as looking for new members for the choir and theatre performance side of things, we would also like to welcome members to our backstage, sound and lighting crews. There is always lots of work to be done behind the scenes and there is a lot of satisfaction to be gained from seeing the final product come to life on stage.”

The Waterloo & Crosby Theatre Company performed a new production last year called Yours - A Tale of the Bootle Blitz.

This production was a success and they were nominated for seven awards, for the show, by The National Operatic and Dramatic Association (NODA), winning the Best Ensemble Award and progressing through to the Regional Awards in Manchester in May 2018.

Due to the success of Yours, and the

Think Floyd coming to Southport Theatre

DUBBED the Definitive Pink Floyd Experience, Think Floyd are set to grace the stage at Southport Theatre with a celebration of the music of one of the world's greatest bands, on Friday, March 23 at 7.30pm.

The show will feature music from all 15 Floyd albums, beginning with the 1967 classic The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, through to The Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here, all the way to the band’s final studio album, The Endless River.

Expect to hear classics such as Time, Another Brick in the Wall, One of These Days and The Great Gig in the Sky. Pink Floyd’s Nick Mason describes the band as “Brilliant! - They are really good.” In a recent interview on LBC the drummer commended Think Floyd and rather generously called them “better than we are.”

Recreating a concert experience that is authentic to the sound, atmosphere and musical excellence of one of the greatest musical icons, this production aims to be a first-class evening of pure Pink Floyd.

PLEASE don’t tell me what Chris Harris has been powersliding lately. Or what car that bloke from Friends has been bigging up. The world’s biggest car show is back on our screens – but I haven’t had a chance to watch it yet.

When Top Gear returned to the nation’s living rooms last Sunday night I’d only just settled into mine after moving house, which means that as I write any means of watching it was still sealed neatly away in cardboard boxes. It’s funny how relocating forces you to live on the bare basics. No seeing The Stig drifting BMW M3s for me, then.

But what I did get to do was add another motoring superlative to my repertoire during the house move, because the massively extended Vauxhall Movano I used for the job is easily the biggest vehicle I’ve ever been given the keys to.

There doesn’t seem to be an official term for it but the rental firm that entrusted it to me refers to it as a Maxi load, although it’s about as far from the old British Leyland hatchback as Donald Trump is from a sensibly written tweet. It’s a bit bigger, and considerably longer, than a normal Luton van, which means that once you get behind the three seats you have a load area that’s bigger than a typical student flat. As a result its road presence is vast. Yet it’s all uncannily normal to drive.

Once you get used to what feels like a precariously high driving position – from the helm of a Maxi load you’re looking down on Range Rovers and workmen in Ford Transits – it feels like you could be driving the latest Astra. The steering’s a little vague but it’s light and does everything you ask of it, the six-speed manual does a fine job of keeping the 2.3-litre turbodiesel in check and it’ll tootle along at 60mph while barely breaking a 2000rpm sweat.

The fact it can do all this while conveying an entire three-bedroom house’s contents and not creak at the seams, I reckon, is truly remarkable.

The only thing you’ve got to watch out for is just how generous its proportions are; I thought it’d be the width that’d catch me out but in fact it’s the lengthy stroll between the front and rear axles that kept me on my toes throughout my weekend with it. But once you get used to the thing it’s surprising how something so enormous can feel so reassuringly normal.

I don’t think the Movano Maxi load will ever earn itself a mention on Top Gear, but in its own unapologetically useful way it’s just as impressive.

Seventh win on the bounce for rampant Bucks Winsford 0 Bootle 4 BOOTLE continued their impressive form with this hard-fought victory, writes Connor O’Neill.

A first-half Connor Millington strike set the Bucks on their way before Kevin Edgar, Andy Gillespie and Carl Peers all found the back of the net in the second period to ensure the Bucks collected their seventh consecutive victory.

Joe Doran and Phil Stafford's side came into the game on the back of a last-gasp win over Ashton Athletic, but here, the opening 30 minutes were a tough watch for those in attendance at the St Luke's Barton Stadium as both sides struggled to string passes together.

A long ball forward by Daniel Murphy nearly led to the opening goal as Gillespie nipped in to head the ball past the onrushing Matt Green but the former Widnes man saw his effort cleared off the line by Michael Taylor.

At the other end, Ryan Jones pushed away Daniel McLaughlin's effort before both James Rothwell and Matt Purcell fired over from the edge of the box.

Just before half-time the deadlock was broken when

Kev Edgar found Carl Peers who in return switched the play out to Michael Ordish on the left.

The wing-back pulled the ball back to Millington who finished first time into the bottom corner of the net.

Seven minutes into the second half the Bucks were awarded a penalty when Peers was bundled over inside the Winsford box but Millington’s spot kick rattled off the post.

Winsford’s Perry Bircumshaw then received a straight red card for a late tackle on Kieran Haligan.

Three minutes later the hosts hit the self-destruct button. After overplaying at the back Matt Green’s attempted clearance was charged down by Edgar, who then had the easiest of finishes into the empty net.

Two became three seven minutes from time.

After being sent in the clear, Gillespie touched the ball into the path of his left foot before firing under Green and into the net.

And Doran and Stafford's side weren't finished there with Peers collecting his eighth goal of the season.

Blues stopper Green could only parry Ryan Cox's effort with the Bucks vicecaptain on hand to finish from close-range.

Defeat leaves Mariners facing relegation battle Marine 1 Mickleover Sports 3

Marine defender Phil Baker gives a Mickleover attacker some close attention. Pictures by Susan Nugent.

MARINE slipped to third from bottom in the EvoStik Premier Division table as their miserable home form continued against ten-man Mickleover.

After a feisty encounter the Mariners now find themselves in desperate need for points in their battle for survival.

It was the Derbyshire outfit who came closest to taking an early lead in bizarre circumstances when an attempted clearance from Martin Fearon hit his defender's backside and rolled narrowly wide of the post.

The visitors took control with two goals in the space of six minutes.

The impressive Dales grabbed the opener on 27 minutes, receiving a pass in the box before turning inside and drilling a low shot from 15 yards which beat Fearon with the aid of a slight deflection.

Dales then turned provider as he beat Kenny Strickland to the byline and squared to provide Garnett with the easiest of finishes from close range.

The half petered out with the Mariners looking decidedly lightweight against a physical Mickleover side.

The Mariners were afforded a glimpse of hope early in the second half as Sports player manager McGrath was shown two yellow cards in as many minutes and dismissed by referee Smith.

Marine had the chance to pull a goal back from the penalty spot after when Monaghan was brought down in the box – but Strick-

McDonald struck first to give Remyca the lead after 20 minutes but the scoreline was levelled only minutes later when the home side equalised.

Foy restored Remyca's lead before the half time break before McDonald scored his second of the game to wrap up all three points.

land's effort was saved.

King's shirt became ripped a few minutes later following a confrontation with Monaghan for which both players were cautioned - and amid farcical scenes the referee deemed a training bib acceptable attire as a replacement top for King.

Marine continued to be frustrated in their efforts to create a scoring opportunity and it came as no surprise when they were hit on the break by the ten men in the 75th minute. Dales again was the tormentor, flicking the ball over Baker just inside Marine territory before racing clear to coolly finish past Fearon from 15 yards.

After Field's free-kick had been parried by King diving away to his left, Marine's own John McGrath then provided small consolation for his team on an afternoon of little cheer for the Crosby club.

The substitute beat King from the corner of the area with a curling shot which found the corner of the net.

Monaghan's header from a Peter Wylie cross was palmed over his own crossbar by King as the game entered a full nine minutes of added time.

The Mariners will be hoping to fare better when they host Lancaster City on Saturday.

The visiting goalkeeper needed a new top after an an altercation.

Firwood Waterloo make aim to be in National Two North within five years FIRWOOD Waterloo aim to be in National Two North within five years according to director of rugby Steve Wood.

He also wants better facilities at the club so they can retain more players and also nurture more young players.

Since the advent of professional rugby in 1996 many clubs in the North West have struggled, with only Sale Sharks in the Premiership, no club in the Championship, and the only National One outfit, Fylde, looking to be heading for relegation to National Two North.

Firwood Waterloo are currently at level 6 in the divisional pyramid but Wood says the club’s ambition is to get to level 4 within the next five years, which is National Two North.

Wood said: “That is where I think a club of this stature should be.

“Obviously with the game structured as it is, the Premiership and Champion-

‘Better coaching facilities and more pitches needed at club to retain and attract players’

ship are way out of reach for financial reasons if nothing else.”

Wood believes implementing the right structures for the club is essential if these aims are to be met.

He added: “From 2019/20 the RFU has decreed that all clubs below level five will be limited to a maximum £10,000 rugby budget so our immediate aim is to get out of North One West as soon as possible.

“We need to put more of a focus on coaching while at the same time manage players much better by making sure they have top class facilities.

“This includes pitch, medical and physio support as well as providing a real ‘rugby experience.’

“It is important that we think outside of the box as retention of our existing

Clare House, 166 Lord Street, Southport PR9 0QA

01704 392 392

senior squads is the number one priority going forward.”

As part of this he says the club needs more pitches, especially now that the ladies team are in the National League and need to play on the first team pitch.

Wood added: “We have a great clubhouse and the facilities but Blundellsands is a one pitch arena and with the ladies needing additional support it has meant the Seconds have been relegated to Hall Road, a car ride away.

“We want to place more emphasis on the Seconds and bring as much of our rugby ‘in house’ as possible.

“We are also trying to improve is player recruitment and top class facilities go a long way in attracting players

www.champnews.com

to the club as well as the level of rugby offered.”

He added that while they have good connections with local schools and a flourishing mini and junior section, the club do not run a colts side either at junior or senior level.

He said: “That has to change so we need to prioritise the development of our coaches throughout the club which will, in turn, improve player development.

“We have to stop the drift of our homegrown players to other clubs and youngsters going out of the game.

“It is fundamental we establish continuity from minis right through to senior rugby.

“There is a cost to this but there is a tremendous spirit in this club.

“We need to harness that spirit and if we do we will be playing National Two rugby, after that who knows!”
