Man in serious condition after being shot outside house A MAN is in hospital after he was shot in the chest and arm outside a house in Litherland.

The victim, aged in his 30s, is in a serious but stable condition after he was targeted by a gunman at around 9.40pm on Saturday, March 10 outside a property on Ryefield Lane.

Armed police were sent to the residential road, near to Rimrose Valley Country Park, and it was cordoned off over the weekend as officers launched an investigation into the shooting.

Police are speaking with local residents to carry out house-to-house enquiries and CCTV footage is being looked into.

Detective Inspector John Williams said: “This is the very early stage of our investigation as we seek to find out the exact circumstances, so we are initially looking to speak to anyone who saw or heard anything around 9.40pm in the Ryefield Lane area.

“I want to also appeal to anyone who saw vehicles being driven at speed close to the location of the shooting around the time, or may have captured anything on dashcams or home CCTV. “We need the public to help us make the streets safer by telling us what they know about these criminals. We will take robust action and put these people before the courts and in prison. If you know something, please let us know.”

Anyone with information on the incident is urged to contact the gun crime hotline on 0800 230 0600, @MerPolCC, 101 quoting number 1148 or @CrimestoppersUK on 0800 555 111 or online.

DIGGERS ON DUNES TO MAKE PROM SAFE ‘Stable ridges’ created to stop sand being blown off the beach Report by Tom Martin PARTS of the promenade at Crosby beach have been cordoned off as work takes place to remove sand piles from the pavement to make it safer as the warmer weather approaches.

More people are expected to travel to the beach as the weather slowly improves over the next few months and Sefton Council are getting ahead of the wave of arrivals by making it safer for families.

The Champion has reported in previous years how locals complained that they couldn’t get bikes or wheelchairs past the huge piles of sand which are blown from the beach and sand dunes onto the pavement.

Workers from Sefton Council’s coast and countryside team are now clearing the sand.

Part of the work is to create “stable dune ridges”, which are aimed at stopping sand from being blown onto the promenade and blocking access for people.

Sefton Coast Landscape Partnership project officer John Dempsey said: “The sand dunes of the Sefton coast are constantly changing, the wind and tides shape and reshape them.

“Their dynamic nature is one of the key features

Residents in Sefton helped to uncover £37m copycat website scam Report by Tom Martin

SEFTON residents who were victims of one of the UK's largest ever online crime cases have helped jail six people for more than 35 years.

On Tuesday, March 6, six people from the Hampshire, Surrey and Wrexham areas were put behind bars after being convicted of defrauding UK consumers out of more than £37million in a copycat website scam.

Sefton residents played a part in uncovering the nationwide scandal, with Sefton Council's Trading Standards team documenting a number of complaints about suspicious websites offering to sell driving licences and visas.

The council is now encouraging residents to be “web wise” to avoid falling victim to scams.

The criminal gang operated a number of fake web pages, impersonating official government

The fake websites offered to sell driving licences and visas.

services in order to sell passports, driving licences and other key documents for vastly inflated prices.

Cllr Paulette Lappin, Sefton Council's cabinet member for regulation said: “Online fraud can happen to anybody, especially if you're not 'web wise' and our Trading Standards often receive complaints about bogus websites.

“Genuine websites that ask for personal information show an image of a padlock, usually in the address bar alongside the website address at the top of the page.

“However, some fake websites display a padlock on the webpage itself to try and convince the user that it is a secure site.

“If you're not sure whether a site is genuine, click on the padlock and check the security certificate, which tells you if the site is authentic.

“Only valid certificates issued by approved authorities are trustworthy. If you see or find anything suspicious, please report any concerns using the Citizens Advice Consumer Helpline on 03454 04 05 06.”

Care worker tried to rape drunk young mum who thought his car was a taxi Report by Lynda Roughley A CHILDREN’S care worker tried to rape a drunken young mum after she got into his car believing it was a taxi - and then callously dumped her “like rubbish” dazed and disorientated in a deserted car park in Litherland.

CCTV footage showed Bootle man Andrew Campbell, 48, getting into the back of his car with the victim and after he drove off six minutes later she was left lying in a car park where she lay for an hour before passers-by heard her cries.

Campbell, a married man, was accused of raping the 22-year-old and a jury cleared him of that offence but convicted him of attempting to rape her and he was jailed for six and a half years on Thursday, March 8.

The attack happened after Campbell, a grandad, had set off for his job at a children’s respite home on September 24 last year and the woman, a mumof-three, was on her way home after a long night out drinking heavily and taking cocaine.

The last thing she remembered was leaving a flat, where she had been drinking with two men, after rebuffing one who had tried to kiss her explaining that she was married.

Her next recollection was being found at 9am in the car park.

Sarah Holt, prosecuting, told Liverpool Crown Court that as the woman, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, was walking in Bootle when she flagged down his car thinking it was a taxi and instead of following her directions to take her home he drove her to the car park in Field Lane, Litherland and launched the sex attack.

She had spoken to her husband at 7am and asked him to call a taxi for her to the post office in Hawthorne Road but there were two post offices in that road.

He called her back but she sounded confused and her phone kept cutting out. He heard her say, ‘ he’s just raped me’ and was crying and sounded scared.

He called the police and a search began but it was just before 9am before officers, alerted by members of the public, found her. She did not then make a complaint but later that day she told them that she thought something had happened to her.

An hour later a man, whose home overlooked the car park, hearing about the incident, checked his CCTV and it showed a man reverse his car into a space in the far corner.

He got out and got into the back seat and after a few minutes got out, adjusted his clothing and then PREVIOUS WORK AVAILABLE TO VIEW ONLINE

Andrew Campbell

went back to the back of the car before driving off at 7.53 am. The woman could then be seen curled up on the floor of the car park and she was there until 8.47 am, said Miss Holt.

Campbell, a former soldier of Gardener Avenue, Bootle, was traced by police and was arrested.

He said the victim repeatedly asked if he wanted to have sex, but sentencing the defendant, who has no previous convictions, Judge Clement Goldstone, QC, the Recorder of Liverpool, said he rejected any suggestion the woman had encouraged him to have sex with her.

He said: “She was heavily intoxicated and affected by cocaine and her ability to communicate was minimal.

The court heard Campbell had been happily married for 24 years but for the last five years there had been no physical side to the relationship because of his wife’s ill health.

“You realised within minutes a golden opportunity to satisfy your sexual urges ……and you decided this helpless and hapless young woman was a temporary answer to your difficulties,” said Judge Goldstone.

He said he had treated her in “an inhumane way after you had had your way with her”.

The judge accepted that he had had an exemplary discharge from the Army and had an excellent work record which made “your fall so dramatically from grace” all the more remarkable.

He ordered Campbell to sign the Sex Offenders Register for life and also imposed a life-time restraining order to keep away from the woman.

Cafod charity hails kindhearted pupil for fundraising efforts Report by Tom Martin MOST schoolchildren like to play outside during lunch breaks – but one youngster from Crosby has been using the spare time to raise funds for charity.

Nine-year-old Amy, who attends Ursuline Primary School, has been selflessly helping to transform lives across the world by raising funds for the development charity Cafod.

After reading a leaflet about how Cafod helped communities overseas to access clean water, then seven-year-old Amy knew she had to do something to make a difference.

Since then, Amy spends her lunchtimes promoting and selling tickets for the raffle, which has prizes such as Easter eggs, sweets and teddy bears.

She has also organised a raffle within her school each year during Cafod’s Lent appeal.

In an added boost, this year the UK government up until 12 May will double all donations to Cafod’s Lent Appeal up to £5 Amy and sister Hannah with assistant headteacher at the school million, meaning every dona“I’m involved with Cafod, but it’s my grandtion will make double the difference. daughter who inspires me.

THE QUALITY YOU EXPECT AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE BUILT TO LAST!

MP BILL Esterson has renewed his call for plans to build a new road through Rimrose Valley Park to be scrapped after Sefton Council was told by the goverment to take measures to reduced air pollution in the borough.

The Champion reported last week how officials from Highways England were set to carry out initial drilling work for the project despite the council taking the decision to build a road to judicial review.

The local authority believes a consultation carried out by Highways England was “inadequate” because it didn’t list a tunnel as an option for improving links between Switch Island and the Port of Liverpool.

MP Esterson recently asked the Transport Secretary Chris Grayling in the Commons what the government was doing to invest in rail services to take freight off the roads.

He said: “The government say they want to reduce roadside emissions yet announce that a road is being built through the Rimrose Valley.

“This area already has some of the highest levels of emissions, levels that are accepted to be dangerous and which a court ruled recently that the government had not done enough to address.

“The government should improve rail infrastructure as an answer to this problem.

“I don’t want a road built through Rimrose Valley when alternatives have not been properly considered.”

The Champion reported earlier this month how levels of nitrogen and sulphur dioxide, which are both harmful pollutants, are up to four times higher than initially believed by experts in the area around Port of Liverpool.

MP Esterson at Rimrose Valley Country Park

The National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory told the government it was “a significant cause of concern for the health of local populations.”

It added that regulations on shipping pollution are insufficient – and that “sulphur dioxide from their engines are not controlled to anywhere near the same extent as road vehicles.”

MP Esterson recently wrote to the Environment Minister Therese Coffey to challenge the government’s response to the recent High Court judgement on tackling levels of roadside nitrogen dioxide.

The Court ruled that the government’s plan for reducing NO2 in Sefton was inadequate and that excessive levels of NO2 in the borough were unacceptable.

At Waterloo Primary School, the event on Thursday, March 1 also saw the launch of a new series of books which will be read by children.

Called ‘The Day the Crayons Quit’,

by Oliver Jeffers, the teachers marked the occasion by dressing as crayons and led the school assembly as crayons on strike!

Over the next couple of weeks, all classes will be using the text to stimulate writing, role-play and art work.

Thanks for the laughter - how Champion readers shared their fond memories of Sir Ken Dodd TRIBUTES have been paid across the nation to legendary comedian Sir Ken Dodd who has died at the age of 90 - and people in south Sefton have particularly fond memories of ‘Doddy.’

He died on Sunday only a matter of days after returning to his Knotty Ash home in Liverpool from hospital, where he had been treated during the last six weeks for a chest infection.

He had made his professional debut in Nottingham in 1954.

In the following decades he became a regular on the stage, TV and radio. His shows were famous for lasting more than five hours, although he always maintained that “he was giving value for money.”

He had also survived setbacks and in 1989 the comedian was charged with tax evasion, but was acquitted.

In recent years he had turned on Southport’s Christmas lights and gave his last performance at Southport theatre at the end of last year.

After the legendary entertainer was presented with his knighthood last year, Maghull lolliop man and radio presenter Dave Hughes shared his memories of seeing ‘Doddy ’ and the Beatles appear on stage together at the Albany Cinema in Maghull in 1961 at a charity event.

He appealed for readers to get in touch and share any magical moments they remember of meeting Doddy and many readers responded to share their fond memories of him.

Netherton reader Ilsa Ellis shared her memories

pital staff a show in their lunchtime.

She said that it was a great success and she had been a fan of his ever since.

Lisa Chu, general manager at Southport Theatre said: “The team at the Southport Theatre and Convention Centre are truly saddened by the news of Sir Ken’s death over the weekend.

“He and his wife Anne were great friends of the venue with relationships built over many years when he performed at least twice a year in the Southport Theatre.

“We are proud to have been one of Ken’s favourite venues and we feel privileged to have known both him and Anne personally over the years.

“Not only was Sir Ken a true comedy genius who literally made hundreds of thousands of guests laugh, sing and leave every show with a spring in their step, he was genuinely a lovely caring person, a true professional and a great deal of fun to be around.

“He was loved by everyone who had the pleasure to meet him and his dedicated wife Anne who was always at his side.

“The world has lost a true legend but his legacy will go on.

“It’s impossible for anybody who has touched as many people’s hearts as Ken Dodd, for him ever to be forgotten.

“Our thoughts, prayers and love go out to Anne and her family who we know will take comfort in the fact that Ken lived a full life and has had such a great positive impact on so many people over the years.”

of meeting – and being frightened by him! - in Liverpool when she was only 15 years old!

She was working as a trainee bridal assistant at ladies' clothing shop Nannette's in Liverpool in 1958 – her first job – when she saw Doddy, who was performing at the Liverpool Empire at the time.

She glanced through the large glass back doors of Nannette's and saw Ken Dodd peering in, pulling faces and pulling his hair – and Ilsa was so frightened that she went and hid behind the counter!

He came in and apologised and from then on, blew kisses and smiled when he walked past – and she became a lifelong fan!

Ruth Wood-Park, from Bootle, got in touch with the Champion to share her memories of going to see Ken Dodd, three rows from the front, at The Empire in Liverpool four decades ago.

She said: “I went with my daughter around 40 years ago when she was just a toddler – and she fell asleep as Ken Dodd came on stage!

“It was a grand night though - no-one compares to him “At the end of the show, I bought a little ‘diddy man’ and I won’t part with it, I still have it now.

“At that time, we didn’t have much money but there was no way I was going to miss going to see Doddy!”

Irene Marland from Maghull said she met Ken Dodd in 1954 at Walton Hospital.

She said she believed that his then girlfriend was a nurse there and she asked him to give the hos-

Part of the land off Orrell Road where St Wilfrid’s Catholic High School, inset, used to be.

Former school land WINTER SALE NOW ON is set to be sold off Report by Tom Martin LAND which used to be the home of a demolished high school in Litherland will be sold off

by Sefton Council.

The large patch of grass, on Orrell Road, has been left derelict ever since St Wilfrid’s Catholic High School was closed and torn down in 2012.

Now, the local authority has issued a notice to say they are “considering the disposal of all its interest in the land.�

The land in question forms two separate parts, highlighted in red (see picture), which used to be owned by the school but in recent years is used by local children and dog walkers who are willing to get through fences and use the fields.

On one side is houses on Orrell Road that overlook the land, and on the other side is Hawthorne Road and Tesco’s supermarket. There are still school ties wrapped around the metal fence left by pupils six years ago when the school was demolished.

In 2010, Sefton Council announced that St Wilfrid's would close due to academic failings, dwindling pupil numbers and associated financial problems.

St Wilfrid’s had been struggling and became the first school in the entire Sefton to be placed in special measures by Ofsted – however it did improve towards the end of its existence.

St Wilfrid’s and the former St George of England Engineering College, in Bootle, which was also scheduled to close, merged to form The Hawthorne's Free School.

Isaac tiptoes his way to the top!

A YOUNGSTER from Waterloo is tiptoeing his way to the top after he was invited to a workshop at the Royal Ballet School in London.

Isaac Morgan, who is eight years old,wants to be a professional ballet dancer and has impressed during his time at Proctor Dance Academy, in Crosby.

In September last year, Isaac started with the Royal Ballet Junior Associate programme in Manchester, which nurtures young talents between the ages of eight to 17.

He attends around three classes a month in Manchester alongside his Crosby commitments, but earlier this month he went to London for a La Fille Mai Gardee workshop at the Royal Ballet School.

It gave him even more experience and also gave him an insight into life at a full-time ballet school.

His proud mum, Gaynor, said: “Isaac thoroughly enjoyed his experience and this has given him an insight into full-time ballet school at eleven to follow his dream of becoming a professional ballet dancer.”

Walton Centre gets top P&AAUDIOVISUAL marks from patients SOUTHPORTHIFI LOCAL FAMILY BUSINESS SINCE 1972

Report by Kenny Parker SEFTON residents have given The Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust the thumbs up when it comes to treatment and staff attitude.

The hospital which provides specialistneurology, neurosurgery, spinal and pain management services, located near to Aintree Hospital, scored top marks in the Feedback Report compiled by Healthwatch Sefton, the local independent health and social care champion, after engaging with patients, visitors and staff at the hospital over a two-month period last summer.

Positive comments were given when it came to the standard of treatment and care with people saying: “It is a very good service.

“They explain everything in depth.

I have learnt more today than I have going to any other hospital.”

Staff attitudes also rated highly with those comments stating that the staff were “fantastic”, “out of this world” and “they explain everything.”

Council wants your views on its economic strategy

Members of the Docklands Trail Charity, above, showing off their proposals at an exhibition held at Collingwood Dock, left, last year.

‘Container Village’ plan to showcase history of docks Report by Tom Martin

EIGHT former shipping containers will be transformed into a new ‘heritage trail visitor centre’ to showcase the history of north Liverpool and Bootle docks.

The new tourist attraction, which will be opened at Collingwood Dock, will share stories and information about the long and illustrious history of the docks.

The plans, submitted by the Peel Group and The Docklands Trail Charity were approved by Liverpool City Council and are part of the wider Liverpool Waters project.

The Champion reported last year how the proposal is to create six ‘mini-museums’

along the dock to educate youngsters and attract tourists to south Sefton. The Docklands Trail Charity say creating the heritage centres will take several years but will become a “world-class tourist attraction.”

When complete, the Docklands Trail will feature six exhibition centres, telling the story of Waterloo, Stanley, Huskisson, Canada, Gladstone and Seaforth docks.

The publicly accessible containers will be managed by the charity after they worked with Peel Ports to ensure the container village is best placed at to serve visitors.

Les Ellis, chair of The Docklands Trail Charity, said: “I’m delighted at the progress this project has seen, and with the approval of this planning application we can now bring the container village to life.

“Our aim is to create a first-class tourist attraction with several sites across the north Liverpool and Bootle docks which will educate children, communities and visitors on the wonderful heritage of Liverpool’s renowned port.

“We would like to thank Peel for gifting the land and funding the application – without this support the project would not have been able to go ahead.”

Ian Pollitt, assistant project director at Liverpool Waters, said: “It is fantastic to see the plans we’ve been working on for many years become a reality.

“Much of the land at Liverpool Waters is currently disused dockland, we are keen to share its history with the public and encourage them to come on site and share its story.”

RESIDENTS can have a say on the council's draft framework for a new ‘Sefton Economic Strategy.’

A seven week consultation has just opened and Sefton Council is urging as many people as possible to get involved.

Comments made from a consultation will be considered for the council’s Growth Programme, one of the four key pillars of Framework for Change, agreed by the council in January 2017.

Strategic economic growth is a key part of the Sefton 2030 Vision that the council is currently developing.

In 2016 when the council asked locals what mattered to them most, and thousands responded.

Some of the common messages included investing in the infrastructure of the borough and regenerate town centres and high streets.

It was also said that job opportunities is an important area that can support resilient people and places.

A popular theme was also that Sefton has many natural assets including the coast, local heritage and open spaces and these should be used in promoting the borough to attract businesses, investors and visitors.

Cllr Marion Atkinson, Sefton Council's Labour Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Skills, said: “This is the first draft of the framework for a new economic strategy for Sefton and we really

Cllr Marion Atkinson.

want to hear from all sectors of our communities.

“It sets out to identify the key economic and social challenges which should be the focus of the strategy and outlines the headline economic growth objective and the framework for action.

“We recognise the importance of working in partnership with our many key partners and stakeholders from the private sector, communities, voluntary sector and local businesses. This consultation is for everyone and can help define our future.

“We are now seeking views on this important document and would be grateful if everyone could spend a few minutes completing this questionnaire.”

The consultation will run until April 27.

Sex offender found hiding in loft is jailed Report by Henry James A SEX offender who was found by police hiding in a loft at a house in Crosby, has been jailed.

Paul Jevons, 40, of Elm Court, Skelmersdale, was wanted by officers after failing to tell police he had moved out of his address in September, in breach of his sex offender notification requirements.

Jevons was traced to Crosby on January 31 and officers attempted to arrest him but he made off in a car.

After colliding with another car he ran off from the scene.

Following enquiries, Jevons was found hiding in the loft of a property in the Carrfield Avenue area of Crosby a day later.

He was arrested and charged with dangerous driving, document offences and breaching his sex offender notification requirements.

Jevons appeared before Wirral Magistrates’ Court on February 2, pleading guilty.

He appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on Friday (March 2) and was handed a 14 month jail sentence.

Det Con David Perkins, of Lancashire Police’s Sex Offender Management Unit (SOMU), said: “Jevons breached his sex offender notification requirements by failing to tell officers he had left his address.

“He went on the run and following a number of appeals, Jevons was traced to the Merseyside area,

House hit by blaze

Stunning image captures ferry arriving at sunset

FIREFIGHTERS were called out to tackle a house blaze in Litherland.

Emergency services were sent to Four Acre Drive on Friday, March 2 at around 9.30pm to reports that a fire has started at the back door of a property.

Two fire engines attended the incident and crews wearing breathing apparatus used a high pressure hose reel jet to extinguish the fire.

No-one was injured in the incident.

THIS stunning image taken at Crosby beach captures the moment a ferry makes a sunset arrival in Liverpool.

Local Litherland photographer, Stephen Carrigan, took the image on Sunday, February 25 as the vessel made its way past the wind turbines and towards the dock after returning from Ireland.

Stephen described it as “a very cold but beautiful day on Crosby beach.”

Please use doggy bags - and don’t just leave them on the pavement!

Another relief road may be needed to link Crosby with the motorways

I would like to comment on a recent incident which leaves my wife and myself very frustrated.

We consider ourselves responsible dog owners who do pick up after our dog.

We were confronted recently by a very angry resident while walking our dog in Litherland I pointed out that we do pick up or pet’s mess and I showed him the bag of dog waste.

He was still very frustrated and I completely sympathise with him.

It is very annoying when dog owners don't pick up their bags as it tarnishes all dog walkers.

But the problem these days is that some

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

I’ve read a few suggestions regarding reopening up Cranfield Road and Rosemoor Drive to try to alleviate traffic congestion in the Moor Lane area.

By opening these roads up again you will get a massive increase in traffic going past up to four schools (St William of York, Chesterfield, Forefield and Great Crosby).

These areas are busy enough in the mornings so adding commuting traffic into the mix is not an ideal solution!

As a resident of Cranfield Road, one of the reasons we chose to live here is that it is not a rat run for commuting traffic.

I’m sure this is a view shared by many other homeowners down our road and also those in

people don’t use doggy bags.

And what is more frustrating is that there is a new trend which is even worse.

People actually pick up the mess and put it in bags but then leave but then leave them on the pavement!

Are these people stupid or trying to make a point i.e because there are not many bins around anymore?

Either way doing this sort of thing is no way to make a point.

What is their problem?

Litherland resident, By email

PICTURE of the week

Rosemoor Drive.

I have a lot of sympathy for the residents of Edgemoor Drive who have had to put up with theses issues for many years.

Shifting the problem onto other people’s doorsteps however is not the solution.

So what is the solution?

The reality is that the road network in the area is ill equipped to deal with the volume of traffic.

It may be that we need to sacrifice some of the rural parts around the area to build additional relief roads to link to Crosby and Waterloo from the motorways and Southport traffic.

A very controversial idea which will not please some but may be a necessary evil.

Steve, A concerned Crosby resident.

There should be more events in Maghull and Lydiate There is an appetite for events in Maghull and Lydiate for events.

I look every week for things going on but all I see is flea markets, car boot sales and attic sales in the Champion entertainments section.

I have an eight-year-old son and have taken him as far and wide as Crosby, Ormskirk, Penwortham etc.

Other councils seem to be good at organising fairs, beer festivals etc.

Shame we don’t seem to be as good!

Some of the most successful events over recent years have been organised by Lydiate scouts or the Scotch Piper pub.

We have a lot of excellent spaces right here (KGV fields, Lydiate village hall, Winney Brook etc) and I am frustrated they are not used to their full potential.

I look forward to the day when I read the Champion and see the entertainment section brimming with events all over Maghull and Lydiate.

The council needs to realise that organising events can generate income.

Having one source of event information is also key.

I would love it if rather than consulting multiple web sites, newspapers, notice boards I have to find out ‘what’s going on’ it would be great if I could go to one place, newpaper or website for all events information.

Utilising the beautiful and woefully under used facilities in Maghull and Lydiate surely is a recipe for success and bringing together the community and generating income for the area!

Children sprinted over the snowy slopes of Beacon Country Park in a rush to get the best use out of last week’s surprise wintry downfall.

Picture by Martyn Snape.

Pets’ play area was not the sort of recreation I envisaged Similar to previous letter writers, I too am disappointed to hear that what appears to be the largest unit in Crosby Village is to become a veterinary surgery with a recreation area for pets.

St Mowden’s billboard says ‘Shops and Recreation coming soon’ - this is not the sort of recreation I envisaged!

I have waited in anticipation to hear what badly needed shops we would be getting.

Time to get rid of Pies on the bridge At last the much needed work to rectify the accident blackspot on the M57 is now starting.

May I request that while this work is taking place could they please consider the removal of the ‘Pies Music’ graffiti that has been an eyesore for many years and which is an unwelcome sight for our visitors that come to see our great city.

I am certain I am not the only local that cannot bear the sight of this every time I drive into Liverpool.

Maybe a grocery shop, a DIY store, haberdashery, a shoe shop?

It seems St Mowden will allocate these units to only those who can afford the extortionate rents.

What will be next?

Yet another tanning/beauty parlour?

Arriva reveals time it takes to clean rubbish from buses Company shows how much ‘TLC ’ it gives its vehicles Report by Tom Martin ARRIVA has revealed the extreme lengths they have to go to in order to clean their buses – which includes the removal of hundreds of chewing gum.

The company say that in 2017, they removed 530 tonnes of waste from their buses, including litter from passengers and gum left underneath seats.

Chocolate wrappers, bus tickets, drinks containers, and fast food wrappers are the top five most commonly littered items left behind on a daily basis, with 21 newspapers left on each vehicle each day.

Arriva say that each bus is cleaned for at least 20 minutes each day, which equates to around 774 hours to clean the 86 vehicles at the Bootle depot.

They also revealed how buses are re-painted by hand every five years, which takes seven days to complete.

The findings were revealed as part of the Great British Spring Clean, which took place between March 2-4.

Lisa Pearson, head of marketing at Arriva said: “We take pride in

An Arriva bus

ensuring that our buses look and feel clean for our passengers, as we know it’s a large part of what makes travelling by bus enjoyable.

“We hope that by showing them just how much TLC we put into

caring for our buses, will encourage people to think before they litter this National Spring Cleaning Week. In addition to this, we hope that our fleet of green technology buses will help contribute to making Britain clean.”

Council welcomes measures to improve mental health for children Authority believes ‘quality ’ support is vital for young people Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram and UK Music CEO Michael Dugher

Plans to boost music scene A NEW ‘Music Board’ has been set-up to carry out a “radical plan to grow Liverpool’s worldfamous music scene.”

It comes after Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram met with representatives from UK Music, which is the umbrella body for the UK music industry.

UK Music chief Michael Dugher joined local politicians on Wednesday, March 7 to outline the plans of UK Music’s Wish You Were Here – Liverpool City Region Edition, that reveals the huge contribution that music makes to the economy and cultural scene of the Liverpool City Region.

Unveiling the report, the leaders pledged their support for a new Music Board to spearhead a drive to cement Liverpool’s place as one of the world’s music capitals and to nurture the region’s talent.

Taking its inspiration from similar initiatives in San Francisco and London, the new Music Board would co-ordinate efforts to safeguard and grow the Liverpool City Region’s music eco-system.

The Liverpool City Region Music Board’s powers could include helping improve transport links for music fans, protecting music venues, as well as increasing access to music education and rehearsal spaces.

The Music Board, which would be community and industry led with the aim of developing a strategy to boost music across the City Region, will work closely with all the Liverpool City Region local authorities, including Sefton Council and Liverpool City Council, to build on the success of Liverpool’s music scene.

UK Music CEO Michael Dugher said: “Liverpool has a fantastic musical heritage. Its continuing success is clear to see in our new report which shows almost one million people enjoyed live music events in 2016, helping generate £135 million for the Liverpool City Region’s economy.

“The Liverpool City Region’s devolution deal recognises the need to place culture and creativity at the heart of a strategy to accelerate economic growth, attract investment and improve skills.

“I strongly believe that with the momentum of the devolution agenda, led by Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram and following the work carried out by Mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson, we now have a golden opportunity to set up a Music Board to seize the moment and grow the music industry across every corner of the Liverpool City Region.

“We can use this new Music Board to create an environment where people can create music that changes the world and attract visitors from across the globe to enjoy and work with the talent on offer here.

“We know from London and from cities around the world that a Music Board gets the right people around the same table to deliver real change to protect venues, promote talent, widen access to music and boost jobs and growth.”

Metro Mayor, Liverpool City Region, Steve Rotheram said: “One of my biggest ambitions as Metro Mayor is to harness the talent and creative energy of our people to ensure that it can thrive and prosper here.

“In truth artists from every part of our City Region have contributed to the lustre of Liverpool’s musical reputation.

“I will be writing to the leaders of all City Region local authorities to ask them to nominate members for the Board, as well as to members of the advisory panel for Liverpool’s recent music strategy.”

SEFTON Council has responded to the government’s Green Paper which has been asking people for their views on measures to improve mental health support for children and young people.

The green paper, ‘Transforming Children and Young People’s Mental Health Provision’, focuses on earlier intervention and prevention, especially in and linked to schools and colleges.

Cllr John Joseph Kelly, cabinet member for children, schools and safeguarding, said: “Providing quality emotional and mental health support is vital for children and young people so that they can look forward to a bright future.

“Therefore, we welcome the core proposals in

the government’s green paper which focus on earlier interventions, such as all schools and colleges being supported to train a designated lead to oversee the approach to mental health, and that teams will be set up locally to address the needs of children and young people with mild to moderate mental health issues.

“Whilst we agree that the green paper is certainly heading in the right direction, the context of where we are starting from in terms of funding, skills and whether this is aspirational enough are just not evident.

“First and foremost, it’s important that these proposals are fully funded and sustained to

include an integrated pathway from school to community services to specialist services.

“We think that training provision is crucial for all school staff on emotional wellbeing and mental health and to support them to be able to work with our most vulnerable pupils – not just designated leads and teams.

“Also, we believe that there must be huge efforts to ensure that the views of children and young people are heard in any future development of services and support.

“We truly want to get the best for children and young people and hope the government addresses these issues.”

Council wants you to report dirty vehicles to cut air pollution Report by Danielle Thompson COUNCIL chiefs are urging Sefton residents to help them to reduce the amount of air pollution caused by vehicles.

A High Court ruling recently declared that the Government must come up with more effective plans to tackle air pollution in local authority areas including Sefton.

A raft of recent studies have linked air pollution to heart disease and lung problems, including asthma and outdoor air pollution is contributing to some 40,000 early deaths a year in the UK. To combat the problem Sefton Council is asking for your help in cutting the pollution caused by taxis, HGVs and buses.

They want residents to report vehicles which are producing excessive smoke to the appropriate authorities so the fault can be rectified.

Overly-polluting taxis can be reported to Sefton Council’s licensing team by making a note of the taxi driver number which usually appears on a small plate above the license plate and should have the Sefton The council wants to reduce the amount of pollution.

Repeat prescription campaign which saved South Sefton NHS £500,000 up for award

Susanne Lynch, head of medicines management at South Sefton CCG.

NHS South Sefton CCG has been shortlisted for an award in recognition of a prescription campaign which saved more than £500,000.

The CCG has been shortlisted for the HSJ Value Awards 2018 and nominated in the communications category for work associated with communicating their Repeat Prescription Ordering Scheme (RPOS).

RPOS was designed to improve patient safety, by reducing the amount of adverse drug events

caused by people having stockpiles of unused drugs stored without supervision in their homes, and also reduce the cost of unused prescriptions, estimated at around £2 million a year in Sefton alone.

The scheme was part of an overall medicines optimisation strategy adopted by the CCGs which also included the ‘only order what you need’ public awareness campaign and a number of other initiatives aimed at improving people’s aware-

ness of the medicines they use.

It is estimated that RPOS has resulted in estimated savings of at least £500,000 for the NHS in Sefton, although it is believed that the actual savings are significantly higher.

RPOS also identified a significant number of patients who were not ordering their prescriptions and were subsequently at increased risk of deterioration in their health.

Susanne Lynch, head of medicines

management at the CCG, said: Being shortlisted for such a prestigious award is testament to the hard work of everyone at the CCG who care deeply about delivering the best health service possible in Sefton.

“The improvements to patient safety, coupled with significant cost savings, delivered by this scheme are a real success story.”

The final winners will be announced at a ceremony in Manchester on June 7.

Popeye was right - you are what you are and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all that you are I AM a great supporter of Popeye the Sailor Man and his famous line - â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am what I am and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all that I am.â&#x20AC;?

He knew alright - he was Popeye the Sailor Man. These days of course he would be forgiven if he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite so sure - though the prospect of Popeye wearing a skirt is not one Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to contemplate.

So I reckon my old cartoon hero would have been as an irritated as I was when I heard a discussion on a TV political programme about whether or not youngsters at school should, as part of their school uniform, be allowed to choose whether to wear trousers or skirts, irrespective of which sex they nominally belonged to.

Of course, a very earnest young woman started spouting about â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;toleranceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;diversity.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Now please do not misunderstand me. I am not in any way trying to denigrate those who need to change their gender.

But I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think this argument does their cause any good at all. The opposite in fact.

To be clear, I think this was a rather trivial discussion being blown up by those who perpetrated it about a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;probleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;' that does not exist.

Apparently the Liberal Democrats, tired of such things as Brexit or the economy, are now calling on all schools to adopt a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;gender neutralâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; policy for school uniforms so as not to upset those of a transgender disposition.

Now I know the Lib Dems have, rightly, adopted very strong policies designed to stop bullying at school. This is a truly laudable ambition, though one I fear could never totally be achieved.

And to suggest that if Tommy, who up 'till now wore trousers just like all of his contemporaries, should one day turn up at school wearing a skirt for a change without being a bullying target, then I am afraid they have rather over-estimated the tolerance of certain members of our society.

Of course, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t suppose this would be what they mean at all. I think they mean that all pupils, boys and girls, should wear trousers.

I have nothing against that in itself. Girls and women have worn trousers regularly for many years.

My mum did for just about everything apart from formal occasions when the dress or skirt seemed to her more appropriate.

But about â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;diversity.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Suppose a girl chooses to wear a skirt with a blouse and uniform school blazer? Is she to be told that trousers are compulsory? And if so, isn't that in itself intolerant?

Why on earth should anybody, and perhaps political parties in particular, feel it necessary to poke their noses into something which can surely be best handled by the school itself?

And where would it stop? At the bottom perhaps.

Should all pupils of either gender or none, wear the same sort of shoes? Or perhaps a nice pair of trainers which are, I think, more or less unisex?

One of the reasons for wearing a school uniform in the first place is to place each pupil on a level footing - it certainly isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t to provide instant amusement for the local yobos.

When I was at secondary school, we boys all wore grey shirts and short trousers until, I think, we were in the fifth form when we changed like butterflies into long trousers and white shirts (with at first detachable collars!)

And until then we were told, on pain of a visit to the headmaster, that school caps should be worn at all times outside school - including on the school buses each morning and evening.

Naturally this was roundly ignored - though oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cap was always kept crushed into a pocket somewhere in case anybody noticed.

Well, I mean, how could one keep oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dignity if you had just sneaked out for a crafty cigarette in the park - but wearing a cap?

Not that the school had much tolerance to our diversity - which was of course precisely just what their attitude should have been.

It was called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;School Rulesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and frankly I think we would have felt a loss if a more â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;tolerantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; attitude had prevailed.

Perhaps Popeye was indeed right.

You are what you are and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all that you are but sometimes you need to be mature enough simply to fit in to a given situation - whatever you are.

Energy price cap must be brought in immediately says MP

By Danielle Thompson FAMILIES are being forced to ‘choose between heating and eating due to fuel poverty' claims South Sefton MP Bill Esterson.

More than 3,000 households in the constituency struggle to pay energy bills and the MP said new legislation aimed at protecting people from overpriced energy tariffs, does not go far enough.

The Domestic Gas and Electricity Bill, which will allow energy regulator Ofgem to limit how much companies can charge customers for their standard variable tariffs.

It is due to be in place by next winter but Mr Esterson wants it brought in immediately.

He said: “A total of 3,141 households in Sefton Central live in fuel poverty – finally we are seeing some movement.

“But the cap that is being proposed doesn’t go far households where higher than typical energy costs that leave them with an income below the official enough, and the Government has been dragging its feet. poverty line.

“Increases in energy bills since 2010 have left “Energy costs make up a huge portion of many families’ outgoings and hundreds of families are household hundreds of pounds worse off and the majority of vulnerable consumers remain on the making the choice between heating and eating.

THE Royal Air Force will celebrate its centenary on April 1.

The World’s First Independent Air Force was formed one hundred years ago when King George V authorised the creation of a new branch of the British military.

It was formed in response to the growing role of airpower in warfare, and created by merging the aviation branches of the Royal Navy and British Army together into a single service, the Royal Air Force.

There are many events and celebrations planned to mark the ‘RAF100’ milestone and here at the Champion we would like to add our own special tribute.

We are appealing for any local stories and photographs, focusing on local people who have served in the RAF, both present day and during the past 100 years.

assault course

Have you served in the Royal Air Force?

Do you have any stories from your time there?

Do you have any family members who served and have stories?

Locally, RAF Woodvale, between Southport and Formby, has its own history to tell.

RAF Woodvale was opened in 1941 as a night fighter station for the defence of Liverpool and the docks after the city blitz in May. The station was used as a rest area for fighter squadrons after being in combat in the south of the UK throughout the war. The station closed in 1945 after a brief period of use by the Royal Navy.

In 1946 Spitfires of 611 Squadron reopened the airfield and the squadron stayed there until it was stood down in 1957. Since 1971, the Station's role has been largely training, with 611 reforming there in 2013.

Royal Air Force Woodvale is currently home to flying units providing flying training to future University Air Squadron students and giving air experience flights to Air Cadet Organisations within the North West.

Adventure Dock, which is a 92metre floating assault course, will operate throughout the summer months from May to October at Duke's Dock.

Potential new recruits will need “excellent” team working skills, as well as a pool or beach lifeguard qualification (NPLQ/NBLQ) and experience in previous customer facing roles.

The studio where the winner of the 'battle of the bands' will be able to spend a day recording.

Report by Kenny Parker A MUSIC company has launched a competition for budding young musicians to battle it out for a chance to spend a day at its professional recording studio.

The contest will take place at Ormskirk Civic Hall on Friday June 22 and is open to anyone, whether soloist, duo or band and will have two age categories, seven-12 and 13-17.

The organisers at Sound Affects, say entrants can perform covers or their own original material.

Studio supervisor and events coordinator, Rosa Weiner, says the acts will receive constructive feedback from the judges, which will allow them to assess their performance and work on the proposed improvements, in order for them to become more confident musicians, regardless of how far they do or don’t progress in the competition.

She said: “We believe it is a brilliant opportunity for those who have always dreamed of having the chance

to perform on stage, for those who study music and students who have a passion for performing.”

Sound Affects has two branches; an Ormskirk branch which is home to Sound Affects Premier, a guitar shop selling a wide ranch of high end guitars, opposite which is the main teaching hub and music studio; and an Aintree branch which also has a range of guitars and a smaller teaching hub.

The top prize for winning the ‘battle of the bands’ is a day spent recording at the Ormskirk studio. Other prizes will include free music lessons at the company ’s teaching facilities and among others where there will be individual prizes for 'best vocalist’, 'all round performer' and 'star of the show'.

Participants will also be offered optional mentored sessions at a cost of £30 per hour, where the students will receive technical advice, performance techniques and encouragement.

Acts must apply by Friday March 30 with auditions taking place April 10, 12, and 14. Applications cost £10 per act.

The focus for World Glaucoma Week 2018, from The International Glaucoma Association (IGA), is on the prevalence of glaucoma in the UK and Globally with an emphasis on the importance of regular eye health checks to detect glaucoma in the early stages.

The IGA recommends that everyone over the age of 40 should see an optician (optometrist) or medical specialist for an eye test every two years. This is particularly important for those who have a close relatives with glaucoma (brother, sister, parent or child), of African Caribbean and Asian origins, diabetic, have low blood pressure, or are short sighted.

Glaucoma is usually painless and does not cause symptoms until it is quite advanced. It is therefore important to have regular eye health checks which test for glaucoma at an early stage.

These tests are quick and painless and involve:

Checking the field of vision (perimetry) Consultant ophthalmic surgeon and glaucoma specialist, for iSIGHT Clinic, Southport and Aintree University Hospital, Mr Vincent Dubois, offers some insight on detecting and living with Glaucoma.

Unfortunately, there are no symptoms from early glaucoma. By the time a patient has symptoms, it is usually too late. This is why glaucoma has been described as the ‘silent thief of sight’. It affects 600,000 in the UK and it is estimated that 76 million people globally will have glaucoma by 2020, making it the leading cause of irreversible blindness globally.

The safest way to protect ourselves from glaucoma is to regularly attend a local high-street Optician. Apart from prescribing and issuing glasses, an Optometrist can carry out tests to see whether a patient has Glaucoma. >

Glaucoma is a disease of the optic nerve, the nerve that captures light and sends that light to the brain where an image is generated, giving you ‘sight’.

A diseased optic nerve does not see well and in some cases, patients can lose their sight from this condition. Those who are most at risk of Glaucoma are generally, the elderly, patients with Indian, Asian or African origins, and those who have a family member who is already affected by the disease.

The good news is glaucoma can be treated, we use eye drops, lasers and surgery to stop or slow down the condition. However, we cannot restore any sight already lost, hence the importance of early detection whilst people are free of any symptoms. 9 out of 10 patients do not need surgery.

A lot of patients ask, will it stop me from driving? The answer is, only if they have it in both eyes AND it is severe. It is the individual’s responsibility to

ensure that they meet DVLA requirements.

patients have sight problems from Glaucoma.

A person must inform the DVLA if they have glaucoma in both eyes. In this instance the DVLA will arrange for them to have some further testing done, which will determine their eligibility to hold a UK Driving License. Class 2 license holders have more stringent requirements.

This is a condition that patients tend to live with, not suffer from.

Remember, with early detection, from regular eye tests, and appropriate treatment very few

RSPCA urges Blues and Reds legends to unite extra care for outside pets FOOTBALL legends from both sides of the city will come together for a special fundraiser for St Joseph's Hospice.

Former Blues player Kevin Ratcliffe and ex-Reds manager Roy Evans will bring fans together on Friday, May 11 for a special Sportsman’s Dinner in aid of the Thornton hospice.

Comedian Mark Langley will compere the night at The Bentley in Liverpool - a

brand new event space in the heart of the city. The event, sponsored by B&M Supplies in Southport, will begin with a welcome drink on arrival followed by a three-course meal before Kevin and Roy reveal stories from their times at the clubs.

Laura Smith, community fundraiser at the hospice, said: “It promises to be an excellent night of sporting enter-

tainment and fundraising for the hospice. Our nurses and carers look after over 200 patients from across Merseyside every year and events like this make a huge difference to the care and support we can provide.”

Tickets cost £40 and are available to book by calling the hospice’s fundraising team on 0151 932 6044 or by emailing events@jospice.org.uk.

Report by Kenny Parker THE RSPCA has issued advice to ensure that animals are kept safe and warm during the sharp spells of weather that still catch out animal owners throughout spring.

For rabbits, the animal charity advises that owners consider moving hutches inside or into an outhouse, shed or unused garage.

If you have to leave them outside, you must provide them with lots of extra bedding and make sure their home is protected from adverse weather.

Other advice includes the information that cats need to have continuous access to a warm environment, and antifreeze and rock salt can be poisonous to pets.

Owners of elderly or sick dogs could consider putting a coat on their pet, while all dogs should be kept away from frozen ponds, lakes or rivers which can pose a danger.

If you keep pet birds in aviaries, coops, or runs, then you need to provide plenty of additional dry, warm bedding such as straw and cover enclosures to keep the wind and rain out. Birds will eat more to keep warm in cold conditions so ensure the birds always have access to plenty of food and fresh water, ensuring water does not freeze over If you have a fish pond check it every day to make sure the surface is not entirely frozen as poisonous gases can build up under the ice.

Don’t break the ice as this can harm the fish, but carefully place a saucepan of hot water on the surface to gently melt a hole in the ice. Never tip boiling water straight onto the pond either, as this can also harm or kill any fish living there.

Horses and livestock require extra time and care in the colder, winter months.

Ensure they have adequate shelter to escape adverse weather and be pre-

pared to provide extra feed and good quality long fibre, as grass is often sparse. It is also important to check water troughs and buckets are clear of ice.

The RSPCA’s advice also extends to the wild birds, which it says struggle to find food during the winter months. You can feed them suitable seeds and grains, like oats and sunflower seeds; cooked pasta or rice; boiled potatoes, cheese, or uncooked unsalted bacon rind; raisins and sultanas; net-free fat or suet balls; apples, pears and soft fruits.

Murphy's Law in front of Liver Bird wings street art on Jamaica Street in Liverpool

Campaign to save Mounted Police A CAMPAIGN has been launched to keep Mounted Police horses on the streets.

In 1886, Liverpool Police became the first provincial police force in Britain to maintain a permanent Mounted Branch - and last week marked the next chapter in its illustrious horse history.

In order to continue its work, Merseyside Police is launching a brand and sponsorship package, called Stand Tall, to help the Mounted Section remain at the heart of communities as well as help police some of Merseyside's biggest events.

Over the years, the section has helped police Royal Visits, World Cup matches in 1966, a civic reception for The Beatles, and trophy processions

by Everton and Liverpool football clubs.

The horses are regularly used to visit schools and attend community events. They are also

deployed to patrol the city centre at weekends, for crowd control at football matches, to patrol the shorelines in holiday season and famously to guide the victorious horse in the Grand National into the winner’s enclosure.

The logo for the Merseyside Mounted Police is inspired by Murphy’s Law, a police horse who loyally served the force for 14 years.

Murphy sadly died last year, shortly after becoming a social media star when he posed in front of Liver Bird wings street art on Jamaica Street in Liverpool.

As part of a range of sponsorship packages, companies will be able to name a horse for a year, adopt a horse, be a keeper for the day and even get their logo on the saddles of the horses who will lead the Grand National winner into the Winners Enclosure.

PROCLAIMING CREATION IN A SCIENTIFIC AGE With today’s scientific advances, people often swallow the mantra that ‘science has proved the Bible wrong’ - that evolution is in a fact and that the Bible’s account of origins is plain wrong.

Creation Ministries will be challenging this view with our talks that address commonly asked questions, such as: What happened to the dinosaurs? What about the Big Bang? What about carbon dating? Surely Noah and the Ark aren’t historical? Why could God not have used evolution?

Why is there death & suffering? And many more!

Wicked still leaving audiences spellbound Review by Henry James

Bill Bailey

Bill Bailey stopping off in resort with his latest tour Interview by Henry James COMEDIAN Bill Bailey is taking his Larks In Transit tour the length and breadth of the UK throughout Spring and he is coming to the Southport Theatre for two gigs on April 27 and 28.

He knows Southport well as his wife, Kristin, grew up in the town, and the last time he performed here he remembers having a “family reunion.”

Bill, 53, said: “I performed in Southport a few years ago and it was a fantastic night with much banter and nonsense. The gig was really good fun. My wife’s family came to watch and it was a family reunion.”

The performer can be described as a comedian, musician, singer and radio and TV presenter and he will be touring until June.

“During the show I tell tales from my travels around the world,” Bill commented.

“There is music, which is a common element of my show and I play a number of different instruments that I have picked up. There is some politics as well. The night can be described as a pot pourri.

“The tour has gone well so far and we have managed to hit the ground running. It has been great fun already.

“While touring sometimes there may be a different atmosphere in the audience and it can be for many different reasons. It may be because of the venue and what people are used

to, and what they are expecting. It may also be the mood that people are in.

“In some cases the show you are in can be in a theatre and people expect you to do it and they sit back. At other times, the audience can wade in and shout out and you then realise that the audience are game for anything, and you can take the show off the road.”

Bill, who has become a regular on our screens and appeared on Never Mind The Buzzcocks, QI and Have I Got News for You, is also a musician, and music has now become an important part of his shows. He added: “Since my early days of performing stand up music has become an integral part of my shows.

“I try and reflect all the styles of music I like, such as folk, rock, metal, and electronic. The audience will also be able to hear bird calls, and all the sounds we experience in our daily lives.”

Bill is a supporter of the Labour party, but was critical of them at the time of the 2015 election campaign, and he talks about politics and current affairs during his touring shows.

He added: “Whenever I travel around the world all that people talk about is Brexit.

“People are fascinated by Brexit. This is a strange period in our history where we have upended all the norms of Britain, such as a stable democracy and thrown it out for a new era. We are now in the unknown.

“I love Britain, I love the climate and the weather, but the British are definitely different.”

Elphaba and Glinda both have some big numbers to perform and this is no problem for Amy Webb and Helen Woolf, who are both really strong singers.

The scene where Defying Gravity is sung, is the highlight of the first half. The number has been rated as among the top songs from musicals.

Elphaba is invited to meet The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (Steven Pinder). Audiences may remember Steven for playing Max Farnham in Brookside. Is the Wizard as powerful as everyone says he is?

The King lives on in stageholding showa THIS is Elvis – Burbank and Vegas will be at the Liverpool Empire from April 23-28.

Steve Michaels, who lives in North America will star as The King in the show. He has been described as having an “incredible likeness” to Elvis, from his voice, hair, side burns, piercing eyes and his mannerisms.

This Is Elvis – Burbank and Vegas celebrates 83 years since Elvis’ birth and 50 years since his televised ‘Special’ aired on NBC Television, which later came to be known as his ’68 Comeback Special. The musical follows the true story of this very pivotal period in Elvis’ life and career, charting his journey back to stardom and his return to success as a stage performer.

Steve Michaels’ performances of the King have garnered him worldwide attention.

Steve has played alongside some of Elvis Pres-

ley’s iconic band mates including the legendary drummer DJ Fontana and bassist Jerry Scheff.

In addition, he has shared the stage with The Jordanaires and the soulful voices of the Sweet Inspirations. Steve’s styling and ability to capture an authentic portrayal of Elvis Presley has endeared him to audiences everywhere across Canada, United States, India, Thailand, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Philippines and Australia.

IN the same week that International Women's Day was being marked, the Broadway and West End musical, Wicked, which it is said to be about “girl power”, opened at the Liverpool Empire.

The show is about the untold story of the witches of Oz. The two main characters in the production are both women and they are the Wicked Witch of the West, called Elphaba, who is played by Amy Webb, and Glinda the Good Witch (Helen Woolf).

The musical looks at a number of issues including: friendship, relationships, makeovers, outsiders and bullying, and it has cast a spell over audiences in London and Broadway, where it can still be seen today.

The staging of this touring production of Wicked is first class.

The sets and costumes are very striking and I liked the puppets used in the show. There are floating people as well.

Elphaba, who has green skin and has supernatural powers, goes to Shiz University with her disabled sister Nessarose (Emily Shaw). At Shiz, Elphaba is intro-

instance, would barely get you a one-bed flat in its London namesake.

A main course at an upmarket restaurant in Marylebone or Mayfair costs more than I’d normally spend on a couple’s three-course night out in this part of the world.

And don’t get me started on £6 pints.

It’s the same with cars too, as anyone who’s ever ordered a Porsche GT3 and traded rear seats for roll cages and stereos for stripped-back carbonfibre will know. Which is why I have to admire Land Rover for unveiling its new, ultra-luxury spinoff of the Range Rover at the Geneva Motor Show last week. There’s lots of “contemporary design” and “up-to-the-minute technology ” breaking up the slabs of wood and acres of leather you’d expect on the inside, and they are only building 999 of them, but what you can’t fail to notice is that for your £240,000 asking price you get two fewer doors. Automotive proof that less really is more in the world of cars, too. What it does prove, however, is that if the money’s there then it’s not impossible to convert a five-door car into a three-door one; which makes me wonder why three-door cars much further down the pecking order are all being quietly killed off.

The RenaultSport Clio – a car you’d expect to arrive sans rear doors, because that way the body’s stiffer – is now only available in five-door form, and it’s the same story with the Ford Focus, and the Honda Civic. Word has it that the three-door version of Audi’s A3 is being pensioned off, too. Which is a real shame, because for all the awkward fumbling you have with sliding seats forward and climbing through narrow gaps there is a youthful sense of fun about three-door hatches, and it’s sad to see it slowly disappearing.

The Peugeot 205 GTI just wouldn’t have had the same frisson of mischief had it been equipped with five doors, and nor would Renault’s Clio Williams or Citroen’s AX GT. They all had five-door cousins, of course, but it was worth eschewing the practicality for a stiffer bodyshell and cleaner looks. Surely if the argument works for the Range Rover all these years later – especially being positioned as a luxury spinoff – it’ll work for the next Ford Focus RS or Honda Civic Type-R, too? It’s exactly the sort of petrolhead argument I’m hoping to win next time I visit the pub. Anyone got six quid they can lend me?

SPORT Remyca share points after eight goal thriller Chadderton 4 Litherland Remyca 4 REMYCA’S hopes for automatic promotion were dealt a blow after they conceded two late goals to draw an eight goal thriller.

The 120 spectators, including Manchester United legend Paul Scholes who was supporting his son Arron for the home side, were treated to an end-toend game.

Remyca got off to a flying start when Paul Foy headed in after seven minutes but Chadderton equalised to make it 1-1 going into half time.

On 53 minutes Colin Quirk cut in side and scored to make it 2-1

before Oscar Billlington made it 3-1 to the visitors.

Not to be denied Chadderton kept coming and from a hopeful cross they pulled a goal back.

Remyca scored on 69 minutes when substitute Connor Murphy netted from close range to make it 4-2.

At 4-2 in front Remyca should have managed the game out but looked vulnerable as the young Chadderton guns piled forward.

On 75 minutes Chaddderton again exposed defensive frailties to score a third and as Remyca defended deep, conceded a penalty which Chadderton scored to make it 4-4.

Michael Brewster sidefoots home to put Marine two goals up. Picture by Susan Nugent.

Goals from Hughes and Brewster secure vital home win for Mariners Marine 2 Hednesford Town 0 MARINE picked up a vital three points in their fight for survival in the EvoStik Premier Divison table thanks to goals from Adam Hughes and Michael Brewster.

Both side soon adapted to the heavy underfoot conditions and the first half proved evenly-contested.

Liam Tongue’s early speculative effort for the Mariners was well-held by Town custodian Wren, while at the other end Butlin's flicked header from a free-kick dropped onto the roof of Martin Fearon's net.

The Mariners continued to press and Amis teed up Short whose well-struck half-volley flew just a yard wide of the diving Wren's right-hand post.

The Whites took the lead four minutes before the break after a foul on Amis close to the touchline 15 yards from the corner flag on the Marine right.

Short's inswinging delivery to the far post caught the goalkeeper and his teammates flat-footed, and Adam Hughes headed in from close range.

The Pitmen spurned two decent scoring opportunities early in the second half as Mendez-Jones volleyed over from 12 yards following another set-piece, before striker

Graham struck nothing but fresh air when well-placed ten yards from goal.

Mitchley and Amis' fledgling partnership proved effective once more to allow the latter a low shot on goal which Wren held securely.

A quick counter in the Whites' next attack saw Tongue's shot well-held by Wren as Mitchley scented a rebound.

Just before the hour mark leading scorer Mitchley turned provider, holding off the attentions of Gatter to cross from the lefthand byline and Wren could only palm the ball at full-stretch into Brewster's path, and the ex-Southport midfielder calmly sidefooting home from eight yards to give the Mariners a two-goal cushion.

The Pitmen sought an immediate response and winger Lawrie dragged a left-footed shot nearer to the corner flag than goal from 15 yards, before Graham was played into the Marine box but Short produced a well-timed challenge as the Hednesford striker was about to pull the trigger.

Graham’s incisive run with four minutes remaining ended with his daisy-cutter through defenders' legs forcing Fearon into a smart save low to his right, but the Mariners saw out time in relative comfort to record an important and deserved victory which further eases their relegation fears.

Marine were due to host Lancaster City on Tuesday night and are away to last weekend’s opponenents Hednesford Town on Saturday.

Waterloo are battered at Burnage but play-off spot is still in reach Burnage 41 Firwood Waterloo 7 NOT the best of days for Firwood Waterloo who now slip back a place to fourth place in the table.

But they are still in with a chance of making the playoff as they still have to play second place Blackburn and now third Northwich, both at home.

Wood said the artificial surface partly explained their performance.

He said: “We had not played for three weeks and that told as we were very slow out of the blocks.

“Also we did not adapt to the pace of the artificial surface and they really put us under the cosh with the speed of their attack.

“We did have captain Jack Weir missing but in all hon-

esty they had us beaten all over the field.

“We need to regroup after because there is still a lot of rugby to be played and we must come again.”

The home side took the lead with three converted tries and a penalty to go in at the interval 21-7 ahead, Firwood Waterloo’s try coming from good pressure from a restart to get lock Connor Scrivens over, Nick Dwyer

adding the conversion.

The second half was all Burnage who added a further 17 points from two more converted tries and a penalty to take the match and the bonus point.

Firwood Waterloo have no game again this weekend due to Six Nations action but will return at home on March 24 against second place Blackburn which will be a must win game for both clubs.
