1,500 DRIVERS CAUGHT OUT IN ONE MONTH BY TRAFFIC LIGHT CAMERAS

INSIDE THIS WEEK...

Speed on Green scheme aims to reduce accidents at busy road junctions Report by Henry James MORE than 1,500 drivers have been caught out in just one month by speed cameras installed at a traffic light junction in Crosby.

The ‘Speed on Green’ safety cameras were introduced at the end of January in a bid to reduce speeding and the number of collisions at junctions.

The cameras are located at the junction of Crosby Road South and Cambridge Road in Crosby.

The cameras not only detect when a driver has contravened a red traffic light signal at a junction but will also record the speed of those vehicles travelling above the speed limit through the junction, regardless of the colour of the traffic light signal.

Sean Clamp, 29, of Bank Road, Bootle stole the charity box from Electro Vapors, on Stanley Road, when staff weren’t looking.

It contained an unknown amount of donations, which were due to be given to Merseyside Dogs Trust in Huyton, before Clamp stole them at around 5pm on Tuesday, February 19.

A CCTV appeal was issued to local media and last week, a man was arrested on suspicion of theft and possession of heroin.

Sergeant Jenni Bowman said: “We’re pleased

Coastal Park masterplan on way Report by Tom Martin

Police searching Orrell Mount Park.

Land searched for weapons and drugs POLICE have been searching for drugs and weapons in ‘open land’ areas of Litherland.

A large police presence was visible last week at Rimrose Valley Country Park and a small field known as Orrell Mount Park.

Officers could be seen walking around the area with police dogs as they look for discarded weapons or drugs.

SEFTON Council is developing a ‘masterplan’ to improve Crosby Coastal Park.

Any ideas are so far being kept under wraps, as the local authority is currently looking at organising a wide-scale consultation to get residents’ feedback on what they would like to see changed.

Crosby Coastal Park is described as an area stretching from Waterloo from Hightown, which incorporates the Marine Lake, Crosby beach and the promenade.

A report has been published on the council’s website ahead of a Public Engagement and Consultation Panel meeting on Friday, March 15, which details plans to hold the consultation in the summer.

Not much is given away in the report as far as the masterplan is concerned, but the creation of a cycle route is mentioned, as well as a need to “protect, improve and develop this area.”

The council report states: “The draft masterplan aims to provide a holistic view of the many demands placed upon this narrow, well-used stretch of coastline, balancing the needs of people and place.

“It aims to make clear to residents what might be happening within the park, to reduce speculation and present a balanced, achievable and sustainable way forward.

“The draft masterplan will provide a strategic

Crosby Coastal Park.

framework for development in, and Green Sefton’s stewardship of, Crosby Coastal Park.

“It identifies overall development principles and a number of areas within the park. Each area would have a different focus.

“A narrative has been prepared which summarises the various aspirations, opportunities and constraints associated with these areas.

“We want to explore opportunities to protect, improve and develop this area and what it can offer, in a way that will conserve our precious habitats and the species they support, whilst encouraging sustainable ideas that will increase well-being and economic opportunities.

“We hope to avoid ‘consultation fatigue’ and provide clarity on what might happen in the park.

Residents plea for pub to turn down the lights Report by Tom Martin RESIDENTS and Thornton Parish Council are complaining that a pub is causing “light pollution” for nearby houses.

The Grapes, on Green Lane, has installed a number of lights around a new seating area at the front of the building, along with a new advertising sign.

Locals who live near the pub claim the lights are shining onto their properties and this has been backed by Thornton Parish Council, who have objected directly to the pub.

They also claim pub owners Mitchells and Butlers has never asked for planning permission to carry out the work.

Vice Chair of Thornton Parish Council George Pennington said: “An application to Sefton Council was made by the brewery, Mitchells and Butler to install new advertising lighting and signs, which was passed by the planning department.

“However, as part of the same application which requires further control measures that have not been agreed, the disabled car park spaces on the front have been moved to make way for an extended seating area with the erection of five posts that will have three floodlights (15 in total) illuminating this

“There are also LED lights, which all light up the houses opposite. I feel like they have slipped this under the carpet as part of the planning application.

“They have done this regardless of objections from local residents and neighbouring properties who are vehemently against the changes in respect of privacy

and light pollution.”

A spokesperson for The Grapes said: “The pub has recently undergone a refurbishment which will benefit everyone who visits, giving locals a new look pub in which they can feel comfortable and relaxed. We’ve met with a residents spokesperson and have taken their comments on board.”

“An example of a potential initiative which the single consultation could signpost could be the potential for cycle route improvements on Great Georges Road to link into Crosby Coastal Park.

“It also aims to demonstrate to key partners that the council remains committed to managing recreation pressure on the Sefton Coast in a way which fulfils its legal duties under the Habitats Regulations to protect the internationally important nature sites on the Sefton Coast.

“The council needs to understand the views of residents, visitors, user groups and partners concerning the proposed masterplan for Crosby Coastal Park so that current and future proposals and activities can be assessed in line with an agreed vision.”

THE family of Sam Cook, who was stabbed to death two years ago, have been invited to meet the Prisons Minister Rory Stewart to discuss failures in the probation system after MP Bill Esterson spoke about cuts to the service in Parliament.

The Sefton Central MP told the House of Commons that the UK should “never again have a situation where a young man like Sam Cook is killed because of inadequate supervision.”

He said failures in the probation service left Carl Madigan free to kill Sam who was in a Liverpool bar celebrating his 21st birthday when he was stabbed.

During the debate on the Privatised Probation System on Monday (March 4), Mr Esterson asked why Sam’s killer was so badly supervised on release from prison on licence that he was able to go on to carry out another knife attack leading to Sam’s tragic death.

The debate followed a spate of recent fatal teenage stabbings, which has prompted concerns about falling police numbers.

MP Esterson said: “My constituent Sam Cook was stabbed to death in Liverpool city centre on the night he was celebrating his 21st birthday.

“His mum Gill Radcliffe asked me to say this to the Home Secretary - please remember this is not just a London issue, this is a national problem.

“Please will you address the concerns that have been caused by the scale of cuts since 2010.”

Home Secretary Sajid Javid responded: “I know lessons have already been learned from the case of Sam Cook, but the honourable gentleman is right to point to the issue, and also to stress the importance of cross-government work.”

MP Esterson later spoke during a debate on the Privatised Probation System, where he questioned

how Sam’s killer, Carl Madigan was able to carry out the murder while on licence and this shows inadequacies with the probation system.

Magidan, who was jailed for 28 years after stabbing Sam, was on licence for attacking another man with a machete in a previous incident.

Only seven months before he killed Sam, Madigan was sentenced to 16 months in prison for the possession of an offensive weapon.

He served less than half of this sentence and he was released just weeks before he stabbed Sam to death in Empire Bar, in Liverpool city centre.

Years before, when aged 17 in 2012, Madigan received a 12-month detention order for stabbing a 16-year-old boy at a Widnes leisure park.

The MP told the Commons that the UK should “never again have a situation where a young man like Sam Cook is killed because of inadequate supervision.”

In response, prisons minister Rory Stewart invited Sam's family for talks about the failings.

He said: “I am happy to sit down with him and, indeed, the family to talk through the details.

“We are happy to sit down with the honourable gentleman and the family to learn the lessons from that case and ensure that it does not happen again.”

Bar allowed to open despite residents’ concerns over noise Report by Tom Martin

ANOTHER bar has been given the goahead to open on South Road in Waterloo despite complaints from residents that it would cause “a nuisance, disturbance and loss of sleep.”

The local authority has given a green light to a proposal to turn a closed-down clothes shop on the busy high street into a bar, to be called The Irish Way. The council received five letters of objection from locals, who wanted the planning application rejected due to an “over-saturation” of bars and pubs on South Road.

Sea Cadets intruder guilty of vagrancy offence dating back to time of Napoleonic Wars A MAN who caused a major police response when he was heard on the premises of Sefton Sea Cadets in Litherland in the early hours of the morning wanted to sleep in a boat, a court has heard.

As Christopher Veney, of Cambridge Road, Seaforth, appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court on March 6 it was heard that police were called at 1.06am on October 18 of last year after a set of ladders were reported to be up against a fence at the cadets base on Field Lane.

Sheeting from a tarpaulin tent was said to be over the spikes at the top of the fence.

An officer investigating said he heard voices inside the compound, Miss Clark said.

After officers found they were unable to gain access to the premises a helicopter and police dog support were called, she said.

Fire services were also called to cut open a padlock to enable a police officer and dog to enter the premises.

Miss Clark said six cast iron lamps were found just outside. “They appeared to have been thrown from inside the compound,” she said.

Officers also found a screw driver and hack-

saw near to the where the ladder was.

Veney was located at 2am on an enclosed area on the bank of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal at the rear of the building and was found to be “clearly intoxicated.”

Miss Clark said he told officers he had been on the canal bank for about three hours and had been asleep. He denied that he was going to steal anything or cause damage, she said.

During a subsequent police interview, the court heard Veney told police he had gone for a walk after drinking vodka and cider.

He pleaded guilty to being found in the enclosed yard of Sefton Sea Cadets for an unlawful purpose, namely theft.

Solicitor Tony Murphy said it was an outdated offence under the 1824 Vagrancy Act designed to stop soldiers returning from the Napoleonic Wars from stealing food from people's outhouses.

Mr Murphy said Veney had been drinking too much due to upsetting features in his life. He got tired and climbed into the premises and was going to sleep on one of the boats there.

The magistrates granted him a conditional discharge for six months and ordered that he pay £125 in costs.

Pupils from the De Villiers Avenue school have been taking part in the popular Daily Mile initiative, which encourages children to complete a mile of exercise each day.

As the school caters for children with special educational needs, staff get involved as well by pushing pupils who usewheelchairs so everyone can take part.

A spokesperson for the school said: ““Every pupil and members of staff get involved in this and we do the Daily Mile four days a week

Cash offered is ‘drop in the ocean’ compared to local government cuts Report by Henry James BILL Esterson MP has branded a £1.6billion Government fund to boost struggling regions “a pathetic bung.”

The Sefton Central MP said the cash - which will see £281million come to the North West over the next seven years - was a drop in the ocean compared to local government cuts.

The North West will receive on average £40m a year from the Stronger Towns Fund, which will be allocated using a “needs-based” formula designed to boost growth in “left-behind” towns.

There will be a further £600m that local authorities can bid for.

The MP highlighted that Sefton has seen £230m cut from its annual budget since 2010.

The MP said: “There are 39 local authorities across the North West, meaning the Stronger Towns Fund will deliver on average less than £1m per local authority per year where there have seen billions of pounds of cumulative cuts since 2010.”

Mr Esterson said: “It is a pathetic bung which goes nowhere near replacing what local authorities have lost over the past nine years. What the North West needs is sustained investment not crumbs off the table in what amounts to little more than a Brexit bribe.”

The Government has been criticised for directing the cash at Leave-voting Labour areas, with some accusing the Prime Minister of trying to bribe

Bill Esterson MP

Labour MPs to vote for her Brexit Withdrawal Deal.

Mr Esterson said: “This £281m doesn't come close to covering the cuts, which amount to billions of pounds across the North West.

“Poorer areas have been hardest hit by Government cuts and what we need is a fair local government funding settlement not a fraction of what is actually needed. It is cynical politics of the worst kind.

“The PM does not have a clue about the scale of the challenges we face in the North.”

Announcing the Stronger Towns Fund, Prime Minister Theresa May said: “For too long in our country prosperity has been unfairly spread. Our economy has worked well for some places but we want it to work for all communities.”

Women sexually assaulted on street in broad daylight

Visit us @ www.ChampNews.com l 7

Mobility bathrooms and additional toilets are our speciality

Report by Tom Martin A WOMAN was sexually assaulted in broad daylight as she walked along a street in Thornton.

The victim, aged in her 30s, was on Runnells Lane at around 3pm on Friday,March 8 when a man approached her from behind and “touched her inappropriately ” before running away along Edge Lane.

Police say the woman was uninjured but left shaken following the ordeal.

Detective Inspector Lee Wilkinson said: “The woman in this case has been extremely brave in coming forward to police and I would like to say to victims of this type of crime that we have specially trained officers who will treat victims with compassion and sensitivity, if you can find the courage to come forward.

“Everyone should feel free to walk the streets without the fear of something like this happening to them, and we will do everything we can to put the man responsible before the courts.”

The woman was walking along Runnells Lane and turning left onto Edge Lane when the sexual assault occurred.

As she was near the sign for the closed-down Rushton's Garden Centre, a man passed her in the opposite direction and then stopped, turning to follow her.

He approached from behind and touched her inappropriately before running away.

The man is described as a white male, 5ft 7in tall, around 25 years old, of medium build, with sandy blond hair. He was wearing a blue coat and a multicoloured snood or scarf.

Enquiries are ongoing in the local area and CCTV and dashcam footage is being sought.

Detective Inspector Lee Wilkinson added: “I would like to reassure the community that this type of

incident is thankfully rare and we are taking this report extremely seriously.

“Enquiries are ongoing to locate this offender and I’m particularly keen to speak to anyone who was in the Runnells Lane or Lydiate Lane area of Thornton at around 2.50pm.

“You may have witnessed the incident, a man matching the offender’s description or have dashcam footage from passing through the area. Any information, however small it may seem, could prove to be a vital piece of information to the investigation.

“Anyone who witnessed the incident, has any information or CCTV or dashcam footage is asked to contact Merseyside Police social media desk via Twitter @MerPolCC or Facebook Merseyside Police CC. “You can also call 101 quoting incident reference 19100097788 or contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously, on 0800 555 111.”

THE sister of a young man who was stabbed to death has welcomed Merseyside Police's new week-long initiative highlighting the dangers of knife crime.

Mum-of-four Laura Hughes, 36, who lives in Formby, was 18 when her brother Colin McGinty, 21, was stabbed 15 times by a gang of four men following a night out in Bootle in 2001.

He was believed to have been mistaken for someone else.

Two of the gang, Gary Hampton, 26, of Mirfield Street, Kensington, and Michael Brown, 24, of Vauxhall Crescent, Bootle, were both jailed for a minimum of 16 years.

Since his death, the family, who are from Crosby, have campaigned to raise awareness of knife crime.

This week, officers from Merseyside Police are taking part in the national Knife Crime Awareness Week to publicly demonstrate the work they are doing and to ask the public to share important messages and have key conversations with those most at risk.

They will be carrying out stop searches, open land searches and weapon sweeps as well as holding knife amnesty bins in police stations.

High visibility patrols will be using knife arches or wands at key times in busy locations and officers will be linking in with door-staff and licensed premises.

Laura Hughes: “We are also supporting

the Knife Crime Awareness Week with our running team who are all taking part in various events across the region wearing our No More Knives branded t-shirts. “We are working closely with Merseyside Police and we have eight members of the force who are all part of the In Memory of Colin McGinty running team. “My husband and I also took part in the Strictly Come Dancing style competition on Friday, March 8 at Formby Hall, our sponsor was In Memory of Colin McGinty.�

Inspector Andy Creer said: “A lot of work goes on behind the scenes to address the

issue of knife crime and what can be done about it but one of the most important tools we have is education. “Most people probably don’t realise that carrying a knife can make a young person up to 60% more likely to become a victim of knife crime themselves. “Nobody wants to be a statistic and I want to appeal directly to parents and guardians - talk to your children about knife crime, educate them of the dangers and help us to make it socially unacceptable for anyone to carry a knife when they go out. “Anyone who chooses to pick up a knife could be throwing away their lives and destroying the lives of others. “Merseyside has seen at first hand the tragedy of knife crime and the effect it can have on the victims, the knife crime offenders and the families left behind.

Nobody wants that knock on the door from the police so please, have that conversation with your loved ones. “I want to reassure our communities that we will continue our work day in and day out and we are committed to getting rid of the problem of knife crime by working closely with our partners to help prevent and disrupt criminal activity. “We will also continue to act on information reported to us through local policing teams or community leaders. “But this is not a problem that Merseyside Police can tackle alone and we need everyone to be involved. “If you know someone is carrying a knife then speak to us or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 and help us to finally stamp out this problem.�

Julie wins award for fundraising - but missed ceremony because she was busy at charity event!

Report by Tom Martin A MUM from Crosby who won an award last weekend for her tireless fundraising was unable to receive the gong in person – because she was busy organising a fundraiser!

Julie Lawson lived up to the name of the Best Charity Fundraiser award given by the Liverpool Lifestyle Awards after she was forced to miss the ceremony due to charity commitments.

That's because as the awards ceremony was taking place on Saturday, March 2 at The Liner Hotel, Julie was at her own fundraiser at the Barbacoa in Crosby, where she managed to raise £1,200 for the Walking With Giants Foundation.

Julie said: “I’m delighted to be recognised after all the years of hard work raising funds for Alzheimer’s Society, the Woodlands Hospice, Julie Lawson The Brain Charity, RNLI and many more.

“I never once thought I’d win, but I’m thrilled.

“It’s just lovely to be recognised for my fundraising and all of the charities it helps. The fact it was a vote even more so!

“Unfortunately I couldn’t attend because I was at the Barbacoa but we raised £1,200 for the Walking With Giants Foundation.”

The Champion has published several stories over the years about Julie and her charity work both at a local and national level.

Julie was inspired to raise funds after losing both of her parents only seven weeks apart to Alzheimer ’s in 2014 and she has raised thousands for the Alzheimer's Society and other charities.

Her win at the Liverpool Lifestyle Awards isn't her first taste of awards recognition.

Last year, the Champion reported how Julie was named runner up in the Merseyside Women of the Year awards.

She was nominated alongside only 21 other women for the 2018 award after raising more than £80,000 for charity over the previous 12 years.

This fundraising figure has risen even further since then and Julie is showing no signs of slowing down with more events planned in the coming months.

The next event is a Variety Show held at the Plaza Cinema in Waterloo on Monday, April 1. It will feature a variety of acts with tickets priced at £5.

To find out more about upcoming fundraising events, contact Julie on 07723 382 553.

Ambulance response times vary in Sefton Report by Tom Martin

AMBULANCE response times for critically injured patients vary across Sefton, according to new figures.

Using the Freedom of Information Act, BBC News obtained the average response times for the most life-threatening callouts in more than 2,700 local communities across Britain.

These times cover the point at which a trained person reaches the patient - so it could be an ambulance or volunteers trained by the service to respond to these highest-priority cases.

TV drama filmed in Sefton up for award Report by Tom Martin

for Marc h

AN episode of a BBC drama which was filmed in Seaforth has been nominated for a national award.

Moving On, which was broadcast on the BBC in February 2018, was created by Liverpool-based television company LA Productions.

Its episode ‘Invisible’ was shot in May 2017 in and around Sefton Community Learning Service, in Seaforth, and proved to be a bit hit with viewers.

Moving On is up for the Best Daytime Programme at the Royal Television Society (RTS) Programme Awards for the ‘Invisible’ episode.

The episode puts the spotlight on Rachel, a mother of two, who must confront her former teacher who abused her as a child after remaining silent about the incident for decades.

Throughout the 45-minute episode in Seaforth, viewers witness the struggles that she and her mother, Pat, face after never reporting the abuse to the police.

The episode was directed by Julia Ford and written by Jodhi May who also starred. Other actors featured include Sinead Cusack and Paul Hilton.

Colin McKeown, producer at LA Productions said: “Moving On always tells the hardest-hitting stories that resonate with its audience.

“In all the years that we’ve made the show, we’ve never shirked away from bringing powerful storylines, such as Invisible, on to the small screen.

“It’s a real accolade for a local company to be nominated for this national award and testament to the fantastic cast, script writers and crew who helped produce this wonderful piece of television.”

Moving On recently celebrated its tenth season and has attracted an impressive roll call of actors in its tenure, drawn by stellar scripts, many written by

Jodhi May appearing in the episode.

first-time writers.

Stars like Sheila Hancock, Neil Morrissey, Joanne Froggatt, Ian Hart, John Simm, Hayley Mills and Samantha Bond have all starred in the TV show.

Invisible will go head-to head with other daytime shows including ‘Murder, Mystery and My Family’ and ‘The Repair Shop’ at a ceremony at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London on later this month.

The RTS Programme Awards honours excellence across all genres of television and recognises exceptional actors, presenters, writers and production teams, as well as the TV shows themselves.

Lights are out on There should be a way to report Healthy trees being Brooms Cross Road people who abuse blue badges felled by council As a frequent user of Brooms Cross Road it has been apparent through winter that the street lights that have been installed are of inferior quality to those installed elsewhere.

One evening at around 6pm I counted more than 20 street lights that were out of order.

These included lights close to junctions and crossings along the 4.5kilometers of new road.

If the lights were deemed necessary for safe travel at the design and build stage they are necessary now when the road is at its busiest.

Maintenance crews can be seen cutting the grass at various times of the year so why can they not plan to replace light bulbs?

For so many to fail in such a short period of time, they must be of inferior quality.

Sefton Council should revert to the contractors to have this unsafe situation remedied.

Crosby, By email

I am writing to you with regard to the article in the Champion regarding disabled parking in Central Square, Maghull.

The man said that in this car park able bodied people are using the disabled parking spaces.

This is not just happening in this car park.

I am disabled and have on many occasions had able bodied people use the disabled parking bays.

They often use very abusive language towards me when I question them about it.

One favourite remark is: “I’m only going to be **** five minutes, so it doesn’t matter.”

This is often not the case, as I have completed my shopping and their cars are always still there when I leave the car park.

I think something should be done about this.

There are also the able bodied people that have a relative’s blue badge and think they can use it to do their shopping.

I think the design of the blue badge should also be changed. The photo of the person that the

badge has been issued to, should be on the front of the badge.

This way when the able bodied relative parks in a disabled space, while not having the badge holder with them, can be told to move.

I also think there should be a way that anyone can report able bodied people who abuse the blue badge.

Disabled people should have a number to call or somewhere they can send a photo of the offending person to.

It takes a lot for a disabled person to get the blue badge.

This is because too many people abuse the badge.

In my experience, it’s van drivers who park in disabled bays and relatives of elderly people that abuse the blue badge.

Sefton Council seem intent on cutting down as many trees as possible in the borough.

They have had a team of tree fellers in Coronation Park since before Christmas.

When we moved to Kimberley Drive in 1985 the road was full of trees.

Since then they must have felled at least half, without replacing one single tree.

I have asked local councillors to investigate what is going on, but all I get is a copy of the reply from the council.

They say the trees are diseased but this is nonsense. The tree people told me there was nothing wrong with the trees!

I thought we were trying to save the environment by planting trees, not cutting them down.

I’m pretty sure that the people in the borough could think of a better way to spend money.

Very annoyed and disabled resident, Maghull

Park volunteer, By email

PICTURE of the week

Town has more links to Lancashire I was pleased to read a letter in the Champion suggesting that Lydiate should have a referendum on whether to join West Lancashire.

I would like to suggest the same for Maghull.

This idea has worried some local councillors.

But, the truth is, Maghull’s historical and cultural links are much closer to Lancashire than they are to Liverpool.

Many of our town’s elderly residents fondly remember Maghull under Lancashire, in contrast to Sefton.

Maghull’s charm is in its rural feel which is more comparable to neighbouring Ormskirk than Bootle where Sefton Council have spent millions on a shopping centre while the Square continues its sad, unnecessary decline.

Perhaps if Maghull joined West Lancashire we would have another chance to prevent the building of 1500+ homes on our greenbelt.

Food for thought.

LDG, Maghull.

Keep the tree that we paid for in the village

This picture of crows nests high up in the trees near to Lathom High School in Skelmersdale was taken one early morning last week by Rosalin Lazaroff. If you have a photograph you would like to submit for our Picture of the Week please email editorial@champnews.com.

Everyone moaned how the Christmas tree in Crosby village was pathetic and skinny but people soon changed their minds when they thought it was going to live there year round and bring a bit of foliage to the village.

Now we read that it will be moved to Bootle.

So all our council tax money has been spent on a tree we can no longer keep and is being shipped elsewhere - what a joke!

Set traffic lights to solve rat run

It is motorists who should obey the Highway Code

Noise from port is getting louder

Re: The ongoing debate about The Crescent ‘rat run’ in Thornton.

One way to stop the impatient drivers before they cause an accident is to install traffic lights to run concurrently with the other lights.

Hence drivers would not gain anything by dangerously driving through The Crescent.

I use the road on an almost daily basis and on a number of occasions have been close to a vehicle colliding with me.

Something must be done before someone is seriously hurt.

As a group of older cyclists who ride in a group of around eight people we are often beset and challenged on the lanes on the Moss by motorists who do NOT stop in the passing places but instead bully their way past us.

We have to make a judgement on our safety, getting out of their way time after time.

Regarding “singling out” your readers should look at the websites of the cycling organisations Cycling UK and British Cycling.

There you will find consideration of “singling out.”

It is also thought that staying in twos - for example ten riders in five twos is easier to pass than a long line of ten riders.

Another problem we have is cars coming

towards us passing parked cars.

They intrude into our lane to a great extent, maybe thinking that we are not legitimate road users.

In that situation we have to be sure to “occupy the lane” in order not to be forced into the gutter.

I would recommend all users to look at the above websites - and rest assured our organisations are in very good contact with, and having fruitful discussions with the Department for Transport over road safety for all users.

I live near the port and the noise is becoming louder and louder.

Mondays are especially bad.

It depends on the wind direction, but also what’s going on their premises.

I got woken up at 4am and not the first time.

"It's now nearly two months since I had my hearing aids from you. I write to say how pleased I am with them and what a big difference they have made to my hearing ability. I can now join in conversations much more comfortably, which makes for a much better lifestyle. Thank you for your patience, kindness, advice and the excellent tests provided" J.McColl

"The trial period on my hearing aids is over, so I am writing to thank you for your help and courtesy during the hearing tests and follow up visits. I am delighted with the aids and so are my family. The difference to my life and to the lives of my family, especially my wife is quite noticeable. No longer do I need the T.V or HiFi on so loud, I do not talk so loud or keep asking what did he/she/they say. I would certainly recommend you to anyone." M. White

"Since using your hearing aids, I have been able to hear my clock ticking, also the dawn chorus, which I have not heard for many a year. This is not one of the best services I have ever had, BUT THE BEST SERVICE EVER and I will recommend your services to anyone." J.Conroy

"You have provided me with a level of hearing that I have not enjoyed for many years and I am very grateful for the consideration you have shown me. My wife wishes to thank you too, as she has been relieved of having to repeat everything several times. I am actually proud to be wearing the aids..... " A. Castillo

JUSTLIVERPOOL DOORS Major shipping firm to start calling at Port Report by Tom Martin AN international shipping firm will introduce a new call at the Port of Liverpool as part of its route.

The Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) will stop at the docks during a journey which also includes Canada, Turkey and various southern European ports.

Mark Whitworth, chief executive of Peel Ports said: “The tide continues to turn in Liverpool’s favour as shipping lines and their customers see the evidence for how our location can benefit the whole supply chain.

“This is another vote of confidence in the North West and our location for bringing the heart of the UK economy closer to their international markets.”

Michael Collins, commercial director of MSC UK added: “We’ve been offering our customers leading connections between Liverpool and our global routes for more than 18 years so inevitably the Port

of Liverpool has become an integral part of our UK ocean and landside operations.

“As we continue to grow our presence in the North West of the UK, we’re seeing greater customer interest in our services to/from Liverpool and we’re very much looking forward to continuing that trend, and our relationship with Peel Ports.”

The rotation for the new MSC service is: Turkey – Italy – France – Spain – Portugal – UK Liverpool – Canada.

The route will be served by eight vessels each able to carry 5,500 containers with two calls per week.

In 2018 Peel Ports introduced a rail freight service directly from the Port of Liverpool in partnership with DB Cargo.

It is now the only major UK container terminal to offer tri-modal connectivity, with road, rail and water, the Manchester Ship Canal, plus short-sea shipping.

In February, Peel Ports also announced that it was aiming to create 250 jobs, mostly in Liverpool, to deal with expected extra demand.

Uniquely, Grand National Thursday is the only day of the year with two open G1 races and two G1 contests for novices and is headlined by the Betway Bowl, staged over three miles and a furlong of the Mildmay Course.

PUPILS in Crosby have been celebrating World Book Day in style by dressing up as characters from their favourite stories on Thursday, March 7, with school uniforms swapped for colourful costumes.

At Crosby High School, local author Christine Gregory, the writer behind The Antics of Mrs Paws, visited youngsters to speak to them about storytelling.

A spokesperson for the school said: “This year was special as local author, Christine Gregory came to visit the pupils.

Pupils posed some interesting questions related to how she came up with ideas and how long it took her to write a book.”

Children enjoying the day at Crosby High School At Sacred Heart Catholic College, teachwere distributed to children across the country. ers from the English department led by Youngsters could exchange them at shops for example by dressing up as their favourite literone of 12 special £1 books. ary characters.

Libraries across Sefton also took part in As part of World Book Day, which is an interWorld Book Day, through a partnership with national charity, millions of £1 book tokens the Reading Agency.

Woman assaulted sister of her former partner in bar A WOMAN assaulted her late partner’s sister who she said had goaded her and blamed her for his death.

Tracey George, 44, of Dewlands Road, Seaforth, pleaded guilty to assaulting Pamela Toohey when she appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court on March 6.

Rob Youds, prosecuting, stressed that the Crown Prosecution Service did not accept there was any provocation.

He said George had been in a long-term on and off relationship with Gary Toohey, with whom she had a daughter, and the family had not kept in contact after he took his own life in 2004.

Mr Youds said that at the Railway Bar in Waterloo on the night of January 21 Ms Toohey was confronted by Ms George who was screaming at her.

Referring to Toohey’s police statement he said that Toohey remembered that George mentioned Gary and she responded, “Gary was too good for you.”

He said George pulled Toohey’s hair and punched her.

Toohey was left with swollen eyes, cut lip, and bruised arm.

Solicitor Rachel Worthington said George had been blamed for leaving Gary Toohey in the weeks before he killed himself and had been goaded by his sister Pamela

for several years.

She said that Gary had been drinking and taking a lot of drugs at that time and had also been violent towards her and though she asked his family for help she did not receive any.

Mrs Worthington said that on the night of the assault Toohey had been goading her and so she approached a friend of Toohey’s to stop it.

The magistrates sentenced George to 80 hours of unpaid work and made her pay £250 compensation and £170 in victim surcharge.

They also imposed a restraining order preventing her from approaching Toohey for 12 months.

Tablets are fine but I love the feel and smell of a ‘real’ book HOW many people read books, and particularly novels, these days?

Not that long ago, when I travelled by public transport of any kind, there would more often than not be folk, like me, reading a book.

These days I almost feel selfconscious when I get my current novel out of my pocket or shopping bag on a bus or train.

Nobody else seems to do that anymore.

Only a short while back those ‘electronic books’ became all the rage (was I odd in occasionally trying to read what the person sitting in front of me was perusing?) but their reign seemed short-lived.

These days the preferred way of alleviating the tedium of a bus or train journey seems to sit and play with your tablet - I hope I’ve got that right.

It’s not only young people, but folk of my advanced years or indeed even older, who do this.

I can’t say I wouldn’t find it fascinating also if I were capable of using such an instrument, but I'm not.

In any case, most of their users’ time seems to be spent flipping through their screens and unless speed reading on an advanced scale is practised these days I can’t for the life of me even begin to guess what they are achieving.

As I said though, I am not in anyway criticising anyone for using a system of information for

which I am simply not equipped.

But it still begs my original question. Do folk these days read novels, and if so, is this something done only in the privacy of one’s own home?

The number of people using our public libraries actually to obtain books seems drastically to have fallen over recent years.

Go into any library these days and acres of floor space which used to be home to hundreds of ‘real’ books has now been given up to banks of computers and plastic chair-filled ghettos for the very young.

And again, I cannot really argue against any of that because that is presumably what today’s folk want in their libraries.

It is though a bit of a case of hard cheese for the likes of me, who regularly visit the library for the specific purpose of obtaining a book to read on the bus. It is a fact that the number of books housed in these buildings has fallen - and indeed fallen quite dramatically - over the past few years.

Even in the ‘middle size’ libraries such as in my native Maghull, the problem becomes obvious if

you want to read the works of one particular author.

Suppose he or she has written a series of novels. You’ve read a couple and want more.

All too often they simply ain’t there.

And yes, I know you can order specific books which are then obtained from other libraries, but that’s not much use if the bus upon which you want to read it departs in 20 minutes - or for that matter tomorrow.

This was brought home to me when I happened to be in Waterloo so popped into the large library there - and discovered books by a particular author I have been trying to catch up upon in abundance. In Maghull library there seems to be only three.

And in the last big computer expansion at my library, a large number of local history books were apparently culled.

I suppose anyone interested can get most (or all) information via the internet - but I am certainly not unique even today in being unable to do this.

And in any case, surely there is a difference between simply looking for information immediately, and wanting to absorb a subject at your leisure?

Call me an old stick-in-themud - but I love the feel and smell of a ‘real’ book - and I suspect many librarians would agree with me, even if they cannot say so.

DANCE

Fame Liverpool Empire IT’S not the first time this show has been brought to The Empire as it was seen in a large production about five years ago. So it’s not surprising that a less than sell-out crowd turned up on the first night to see the well-known story of highly testosterone filled young people as a bunch of performing arts students in New York. It’s been a film and TV series and has been performed all over the world. This production is the second part of a nationwide tour.

The high energy start from a great young cast gets the show off to a good start, when we see the performers being auditioned and then taken on to be part of the New York High School for Performing Arts.

Only the best of the best can make it and of course it’s the same all over the world in performing arts, whatever you want to do there are always more candidates than places so it’s a nasty business and will always be filled with sad and happy stories.

The musical is set between 1980 and 1984 and reflects attitudes of the time such as racism, drug abuse and the cutthroat perfectionism expected at performing arts schools. Nothing much changes but this does not mean it’s anything less than a musical bursting with

show bursts into life with Dancing on the Sidewalks and a stunning These are My Children performed by Mica Paris who received a well-deserved cheer for her soulful version of the song.

The usual sad part near the end is soon eclipsed by the cast singing the main theme Fame and as usual the audience are on their feet for a standing ovation.

The show can be seen at the Liverpool Empire until this Saturday (March 16).

Amen.

Say this prayer for three days, promise publication and your favour will be granted.

MOTORS

Tomorrow’s petrolheads really do need things to stick on their bedroom walls...

YOU might not believe it, but a hefty new government report that’s officialdom’s equivalent of a ticking-off from a stern headteacher and the new Ferrari are setting out to do roughly the same thing.

Yep, Public Health England are tackling the same case as the chaps at Maranello – but from wildly different perspectives. Both, you see, are trying to win over the hearts and minds of the next generation of petrolheads – by convincing the next generation of motorists-in-the-making that cars aren’t their enemy.

Whitehall first, then. I’m not entirely sure about its suggestions for scrappage schemes in its new report, but I’m actually in agreement with the idea that cars sat idling outside schools is not a good thing. In fact, I’d go even further than their suggestion of fining the culprits and let local authorities do their utmost to prevent children from being chauffeured to class in a never-ending slew of Audi Q5s and BMW X3s. I’m happy to go on record as saying that proper investment in getting kids to school on buses, not cars, is the way forward (and the fact it’ll make my commute much quicker has nothing to do with it, honestly). Why? Because in the long-run a school run devoid of oversized diesel off-roaders will weaken the argument that cars are the enemy.

That’s the stick out of the way – which is a good thing, because Ferrari and Aston Martin have some particularly fresh-looking carrots, if this year’s Geneva Motor Show was anything to go by. Kia, Hyundai and Skoda did turn up with some new stuff, of course, but the recurring theme at the latest outing seems to be that mid-engined supercars are back in fashion.

I’m not sure if they ever went out of fashion in the first place – and my baggy t-shirts, Tears for Fears albums and side-parting mean I’m not exactly in a position to judge anything fashion-related – but

David Simister believes that the F8 Tributo is exactly what the petrolheads of tomorrow need to inspire them

there are definitely plenty of carmakers giving them another crack.

Let’s skip straight past Bugatti’s Voiture Noire, billed as the world’s most expensive car, despite the fact it’s only made one and it’s already sold anyway.

Aston Martin have decided to ditch decades of tradition and launch its new Vanquish not as a frontengined GT, but as a mid-engined Ferrari rival, and it looks fabulous.

Which is where we get to Ferrari, of course.

Forget the fact that its new F8 Tributo has a ter-

rible name – Tributo, translated from Italian in Layman’s English, means ‘Tribute’, as in Ferrari’s tribute to how marvellous its own award-winning V8 engines are.

Look past the new arrival being a heavily updated version of the outgoing 488 GTB, too, and the fact that it contributes precisely nothing to the hybrid/electric conversation because it has a 710bhp twin-turbo V8 that relies on setting things alight to do its business.

None of this matters a jot because it looks utterly

mesmerising – the F40-aping heat vents in the rear window, especially – and sounds like a Ferrari should at full chat. It is unapologetically bedroom wall stuff – which fills me with hope, because what tomorrow ’s petrolheads need are things to stick on bedroom walls.

That and a school run that isn’t choked up with diesel fumes from cars sat idling outside the front gates, of course…

The company is basing its first electric model on the existing petrol-powered ZS off-roader

MG nearing launch of first all-electric model MG is getting ready to launch its first ever all-electric model when a zero-emissions version of its ZS offroader goes on sale here later this autumn.

There’s no word on the exact pri-

cing, but expect it to be not far off the £12,495 that the petrol-powered version, which has been on sale here since 2017, currently starts at.

The carmaker’s said that the electric systems won’t affect the current

car’s bootspace or five-seat layout, and will be sharing more details nearer to the car’s launch.

For more information about this model or their full range, visit the MG website at www.mg.co.uk

SPORT

Peers does it again for Bucks to make it 14 straight league wins Bootle 4 Ashton Athletic 2 A MAN of the match performance from Carl Peers helped Bootle make it 14 straight league wins, writes Connor O’Neill.

Peers was excellent from start to finish, scoring twice and claiming two assists as the Bucks overcame Ashton Athletic in a hard-fought battle in front of a crowd of 391.

Coming into the game on the back of a midweek 2-0 win over Irlam in testing conditions, Joe Doran’s side could have been forgiven for making their excuses here, especially after Charlie Munro levelled for the visitors early in the second-half.

But Bootle fought back to grind all three points to extend their unbeaten run which started a staggering 84 days ago.

Everything that was good about the Bucks came through that man Peers. Captaining his side in the absence of regular skipper Liam Loughlin, the number 10 fired his side ahead after just 11 minutes.

Collecting Connor Millington's pass, the midfielder drove into the box before firing low and hard through the legs of Martin Pearson in the Ashton goal and into the far corner of the net.

Seven minutes later and Peers had his second of the afternoon.

Picking up the ball 25-yards from goal, the Bucks' top goalscorer let fly with a curling effort that flew into the top corner of the net.

But from being seemingly in

total control, Ashton, another side bang in form, hit back when Adam Gilchrist swept the ball home after Matthew Reid crossed from the left on 23 minutes.

Jay Foulds and Dougie Pitss's side now had their tails up, with Gilchrist firing wide - before Calum Wilson stung the palms of Ryan Jones in the Bootle goal.

But five minutes into the secondhalf and Jones was beaten, as Munro's low-drive from the edge of the box found the bottom corner of the net.

All of a sudden Bootle looked rattled, but as all good sides do, they found a way through and with just under 20 minutes remaining restored their lead.

Ste Jones' corner was only half cleared with the ball eventually finding its way to Peers. And after the midfielder's effort was only parried by Pearson, Ryan Cox, like he so often is, was on hand to bundle the ball home.

The drama was far from over though, with Adam Cringle heading over a corner - before Wilson fired over from close range after connecting with Chris Bandell's pull-back as the tension began to grow around the TDP Stadium.

In the first minute of the stoppage time, that tension turned into relief, as Kieran Halligan sent Peers in the clear down the right, before crossing for the unmarked Jones who coolly composed himself before producing a smart finish into the bottom corner of the net.

Chris Doyle pulls a goal back for Marine. Picture by Susan Nugent.

Marine comeback hopes are scuppered by spot-kick miss Marine 1 Scarborough Athletic 2 THERE was late drama at Marine when a missed penalty from Kenny Strickland scuppered an unlikely comeback from the hosts.

Having trailed for most of the match after conceding a goal in the first five minutes and then another midway through the second half, the Mariners pulled one back on 82 minutes to make it 2-1 before Strickland blazed his spotkick over the bar.

Marine started the game with a double chance, Steve Irwin's rebound

Maghull bid for league cup final place WITH Maghull without a league fixture on Saturday attention was to have turned to the Reserves who were due to visit West Cheshire Division Two title contenders Page Celtic but this was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

With so many matches postponed the Old Hall Field Club are going to have a busy midweek programme toward the end of the campaign.

With the league title now out of their grasp the first team now have to pin their hopes of any silverware on next Saturday’s West Cheshire League Pyke Cup competition when they visit the JMO Centre in Skelmersdale to face Redgate Rovers in the semi final.

The winners of this will play Ellesmere Port Town in the final.

Kick off is at 3pm.

Meanwhile the Reserves face a tough task when they go to Chester

to play league leaders Capenhurst Villa with a 3pm kick off.

Following their LCFA Youth Cup semi final success in their last outing Maghull’s Under 18 Youth team again did well last Saturday defeating Third Division outfit Ellesmere Port Town Reserves 5-4 to progress to the next round of the Development Trophy with Charlie Taylor, Micky Worth, Nick Sutton,Nick Kay and Jack Johnson on target.

narrowly going wide before James Walshaw opened the scoring for the visitors just five minutes into the game after some wing work from Luke Lofts.

The game settled down after the opener, with chances for both sides before half-time including a couple of shots from visiting captain Michael Coulson as well as John Marsden for Marine.

Irwin was then called into action for a crucial double-block to prevent Scarborough from extending their lead, before Sam Tattum had to make a similarly important block as Scarborough threatened a second goal.

Marine piled on the pressure at the beginning of the second half in search of an equaliser, but Michael Coulson doubled the visitors’ lead after going one-on-one with Marine stopper Joe Hilton and putting his shot through the legs of the on-loan Everton man.

The hosts kept their pressure on and were rewarded as centre-back Chris Doyle turned the ball home from the far post to grab one back, before winning a penalty as captain Danny Mitchley was fouled in the box. Kenny Strickland stepped up but blazed over the bar, as the game finished 1-2.

Marine have another home game this Saturday against Matlock Town.

Remyca beaten by leaders City of Liverpool Litherland Remyca 1 City of Liverpool 2 PAUL Foy’s first half penalty wasn’t enough for Remyca to take any points off league leaders City of Liverpool on Saturday.

The referee awarded the spot kick after a handball inside the box on the stroke of half time.

Foy sent COL keeper Ben Ascroft the wrong way to break the deadlock.

The visitors equalised 14 minutes into the second half after a couple of set pieces were eventually converted Daniel Dalton the goalscorer.

Karl Clair scored the winner after 72 minutes much to the delight of the travelling support.

Remyca have now lost three in a row, but sit 12 points clear of relegation.

Next up is a trip to Winsford United in two weeks time.

Waterloo beat Burnage in 15-try extravaganza Burnage 38 Firwood Waterloo 57 IN what was billed as a ‘double pointer’ away to relegation threatened Burnage, and Firwood Waterloo did themselves a power of good with a bonus point nine try win in what might prove to be their most crucial game of the season.

“We went expecting a real hard battle and we were not disappointed,” said head coach Stuart Turner.

“With a total of fifteen tries this was good entertainment but every try was hard fought and we came off the field knowing we had done a solid job.

“We now have some momentum as we go into the last four games of the season and although we are still far from safe we are in a much better position than we where a week ago,” he added.

Firwood Waterloo were first on the scoresheet, a robust run from Curt Riley proved unstoppable as the loose head crashed over.

Darragh O’Brien slotted the conversion and with the ball kept tight before spinning it wide a great off load by Ross Green opened the way for Lee Ferrier to coast in for a second.

However three converted tries from Burnage gave them a 21-12 lead.

This reversal appeared to spur the visitors on with a ball out wide creating the opportunity for

Clare House, 166 Lord Street, Southport PR9 0QA

Jacob Allen to narrow the deficit before Lawrence Jenkins went through on the inside, O’Brien slotting the conversion to restore the Merseyside advantage and take the bonus point at 21-24.

This was a lead Firwood Waterloo were not going to allow to slip as Alex Tenev forced his way over and from a quick tap penalty Luke Clifford went in close to the posts for the sixth, O'Brien again on hand with the conversion.

Tenev went in for a second time, showing some good footwork at pace, O'Brien's conversion putting the visitors 21-43 ahead.

However yet again Burnage came back with two tries and a conversion to give them a chance at 33-43 but with Josh Critchley notching up the

eighth off turn over ball and Tom Lavell finding space to cross for a nineth both converted by O'Brien put the result in the bag, despite a further try from the home side.

“We had trained well during the week and although any visit to Burnage on their synthetic pitch is always thwart with problems we had a game plan and full credit to all the players they stuck to it,” Turner explained.

“We knew Burnage were going to throw the ball around as that is their style on that surface but we were ready for that and in the end we probably beat them at their own game.”

Waterloo now have a week’s respite before returning at home to second place Blackburn.

Hearing loss left untreated affects social and working relationships, emotional health, mental ability, and physical health. Hearing often declines gradually and the person may not realise how much it has deteriorated. This creates stress and miscommunication at home and work and affects quality of life, productivity and self-confidence.

Most Common Cause of Hearing Loss Hearing loss can happen to anyone who is, or has been, exposed to loud noises if the negative conditions are right. For the adolescent and baby boomer segments of the population, the most common cause of hearing loss is prolonged, chronic exposure to loud noises. This is called noiseinduced hearing loss (NIHL), and is permanent.

3 TIPS TO PROTECT YOUR HEARING Avoid harmful noise Musical concerts and movies offer wonderful experiences, but can hurt your hearing. Consider wearing hearing protection if you are in loud commercial, industrial, or recreational environments. Avoid loud rock concerts – or, at least, wear earplugs if you do attend.

Practice healthy lifestyle habits Making sensible lifestyle choices is great for your overall health and especially your hearing. This means refraining from smoking, eating well and exercising to ensure that your body stay in the best possible shape.
