CAMPAIGNERS CALL ON COUNCIL CHIEFS TO MAKE SEFTON FRACK-FREE ZONE Thousands sign petition after plans to drill for shale gas near Formby are revealed

ANTI-FRACKING campaigners from Formby have handed in a petition of more than 3,600 signatures, calling on the council to make the whole of Sefton a ‘frackfree zone.’

The council is expected to debate the petition at its meeting tomorrow (Thursday, January 25), after a spokesperson for Frack Free Formby addressed councillors on the issue.

Earlier this month, energy company Aurora Energy Resources began the process of applying for permission to ‘frack’ for gas north of Great Altcar.

Following analysis of a 3D geophysical survey, the Aberdeen-based

by Danielle Thompson company submitted a scoping request to Lancashire County Council with a view to mining for gas in the Altcar Moss.

Residents in the surrounding areas, some just 850 metres from the proposed site, received letters from the company informing them that scoping is the first step in agreeing the extent and nature of environmental assessments required to inform any subsequent planning application.

HEALTH chiefs are again asking Sefton residents to think carefully before seeking emergency hospital treatment as the number of admissions continues to rise.

Locals are being urged, at the first sign of minor ailment, to self-care or get advice from their local pharmacy.

This will help keep A&E departments free to treat patients with the most serious conditions who need urgent care.

The UK is experiencing its worst outbreak of flu in seven years, the Department of Health and Social Care has revealed.

A department spokesman has described it as ‘the most significant flu season since the winter of 201011’, with thousands more people being treated in December than during the same month in 2016.

“We know hospitals are under pressure and hardworking staff treated 55,328 people within four hours every single day in December - 1,272 more each day than in the same month the previous year,” added the spokesman.

He continued: “We have supported the NHS this winter with an additional £437m, and made the free flu vaccination available to 21 million people 700,000 more than last year.”

Last week, the director of policy and strategy at NHS

Providers, which represents hospitals and ambulance trusts, said the impact of flu remained a ‘serious concern’, despite hospital bed occupancy rates easing slightly in the last week.

But he added: “The worst of winter may be yet to come.”

After a busy festive period, ailments arising from cold weather and flu as well as cases of the winter bug, norovirus, mean demand on NHS services is heightened. Dr Kieran Murphy, Medical Director at NHS England, (Cheshire & Merseyside), said: “Our hospitals are currently seeing high volumes of very unwell patients.

“To manage the increased demand on services that we experience every winter, we have plans in place to ensure that services continue to run as smoothly as possible while ensuring that patients’ needs continue to be met.

“It’s not about stopping those who need urgent medical attention from going to A&E, but about helping at-risk groups stay well and warding off common winter illnesses before they become more serious and a hospital stay is needed.

“However, we are also urging anyone with a nonurgent medical complaint to support us by making full use of alternative community services such as your pharmacist or by self-care at home when appropriate.

“Those in at risk categories can also help by availing of their free flu jab. It’s the best way to ensure protection against catching flu and developing serious complications.”

The meeting will start at 10am (finishing at 2pm), and will be joined by the Mayor at around 11.30am.

Justine Shenton, one of the organisers said: “Light refreshments will be available, and we are hoping that this will give everyone attending the opportunity to join a new group, make new friends and start 2018 with a new and fulfilling venture.”

the construction of nearly 300 houses Report by Danielle Thompson PLANS have been submitted to create a new housing development of almost 300 homes on land the size of 27 football pitches in Formby.

Agent Jon Suckley of HOW Planning has submitted an outline planning application to Sefton Council for the demolition of existing structures and construction of up to 286 mostly two-storey dwellings on land north of Brackenway, with access from Paradise Lane. The site, currently used for grazing horses, lies 1.6km to the north of Formby town centre, to the west of the A565 and to the south of the Freshfield Dune Heath Nature Reserve and RAF Woodvale.

The design and access statement submitted with the plans states: “The proposed development will provide an opportunity to deliver a range of community improvements for Formby; these include the following potential benefits.

“New local housing - the development could play a vital role in addressing local housing need; a need for more family homes and more affordable homes to help support the future vitality and success of the area.

“Improved connections - the development could provide safe and attractive green routes through the scheme for pedestrians including a bridleway, which would link the existing and new communities to the wider landscape.

“New high quality open spaces - the development could provide a connected network of green spaces, including a central green-space with opportunity for a play area and informal open spaces.

The plans for the site on land north of Brackenway

“Ecological enhancements - the development could retain and enhance the land to the north of Wham Dyke to a more natural condition and enhance the existing nature reserve north of site.

Further flood mitigation strategies will create damp grassland habitats in the area.

“The proposals will deliver a desirable living environment which complements and sits comfortably within its surroundings and creates a wellbalanced, sustainable extension to Formby.”

A decision is expected to be made on the application next month.

24-home scheme goes before planners would be M R James and the best long story I have read would be Bram Stoker's Dracula.

“I like to write a traditional story but also set supernatural stories in today’s society.”

PLANS to create a new 24-home housing development in Formby, could be given the green light.

Applicant H. Sharpe has submitted a planning application to Sefton Council to create the homes on land on Altcar Lane.

It would consist of a mix of eight different two-bed to four-bed apartments and houses, all two-storey.

The design and access statement submitted with the application states: “The scheme provides a suitable and sustainable residential development.

“The proposal will appear as an extension of the existing streetscape and facilitate the existing road infrastructure, whilst also developing its own identity. New landscape features will complement the development by naturally and

Frack-free Sefton petition is handed to council chiefs From page 1 The company states that it proposes “to drill and hydraulically fracture both a vertical and a separate horizontal well at Altcar Moss to evaluate the potential to produce hydrocarbons from deeply-buried, carboniferous-age rocks.”

Thousands of Formby residents and visitors have supported Frack Free Formby's petition, both in person and on another petition online at the website, 38 Degrees – which is still open to sign.

The petition states: “We the undersigned urge Sefton MBC to put an immediate ban on any type of conventional or unconventional oil or gas exploration, to protect our environment and promote renewable energy. We urge the council to make Sefton a frack-free zone.”

subtly integrating the site to its surroundings, addressing the juncture between the urban and rural edge.

“Within the application for the proposal we have looked to mitigate against all the major concerns held by the council during pre-application discussions.”

A decision is expected next month.

Drug drive arrests over the Christmas period increase by nearly 50% ...and drink drive arrests on Merseyside shot up by 29%!

Report by Tom Martin MERSEYSIDE Police has released the results of their Christmas crackdown on illegal drivers – with a huge 48% increase in the number of drug drive arrests.

There was also a 29% rise in drink driving arrests during the ‘What’s The Cost’ campaign, which was launched by officers over the festive period.

During the campaign, which ran from 1 December 2017 until 1 January 2018, officers carried out a total of 5,026 breath tests and arrested 261 people for drink or drug driving-related offences, which compares to a total of 203 arrests in the 2016 campaign.

The total number of drink drive arrests made was 125, with an increase from 111 in 2016. The total number of drug drive arrests was 136, an increase from 92 in 2016.

This is the third Christmas drink and drug drive campaign since legislation was introduced in March 2015 to make it easier for police to tackle drug drivers.

Figures are disappointing, admit police Casualty Reduction Officer Paul Mountford, from the Roads Policing Unit said: “It is disappointing that we have seen an increase in motorists arrested for drug and drink driving. While they represent a small minority of drivers, I cannot stress enough the danger that these people present, not just to themselves, but to other road users too.

“The current drug driving legislation makes the process of prosecuting drug drivers much simpler and our rates of prosecution are high. Our message to those drivers would be don’t risk it. The consequences of being caught can be lifechanging. We will remain vigilant throughout 2018 to find those drivers who present a risk to other road users.

“We are committed to tackling drink and drug driving throughout the year, not just during the Christmas period. Any driver involved in a road traffic collision, or who commits a traffic offence, can expect to be breathalysed at any time in the year, and may be required to perform an impairment test.”

During the campaign, officers handed out single-use breathalysers to drivers and encouraged hotels to stock them in their receptions, to encourage people to test themselves and consider the potential consequences of driving the morning after a night of drinking.

Officers say 13% of drink driving arrests during the campaign occurred between the hours of 6am and 12noon.

A further breakdown of the figures show there was a 2.5% fail rate for breath tests compared to 1.5% in 2016.

In terms of gender and age 76% of ‘drink drivers’ are male with 94% of ‘drug drivers’ being male, 58% of which are aged between 17-30 years, with the average age of ‘drink drivers’ at 38 years of age and the average age of ‘drug drivers’ at 30 years of age.

Former councillor who was ‘in danger of giving politics a good name’ dies after illness

By Danielle Thompson A FORMER Sefton Tory Councillor who resigned from her role just weeks ago through ill health, has died.

Pat Ball, a former chairperson and vice president of Southport Dramatic Club, was well-known in the borough and as a respected hotelier and proprietor of the Shelbourne Hotel, Valentino's Ristorante and Nigel’s Bar in the resort.

The mum-of-three was elected twice to represent the Dukes Ward and, according to a tribute by her successor John Pugh, who took up the seat when she resigned due to ill health in September, she was “in danger of giving politics a good name.”

She had been excused duties within the Council for a year prior to her resignation.

The 76 year old, who was born at the Christiana Hartley Maternity Hospital in Southport on

Councillor Pat Ball

January 23, 1941, leaves behind her husband Norman, three children and grandchildren.

Mr Pugh said: “Pat had a rich career both before and beyond politics. Through her quiet, helpful and unassuming work as a councillor, she was though in serious danger of giving politics a good name.”

Fellow Dukes Ward Councillor Tony Dawson, who served along-

side Cllr Ball for several years said: “She was completely devoted to the needs of the ward and was not particularly party political at all.

“Pat was a very well-rounded person, being far better known as the former proprietor of the Shelborne Hotel and through her amateur dramatic activity.”

Councillor Denise Dutton, leader of the Conservative Group in Sefton Council paid tribute to the former Conservative Councillor.

She said: “Pat Ball was not only an outstanding local Councillor but she dedicated so much of her life to the people of Southport.

“She will be truly missed by all who had the good fortune to have known her.

“My deepest condolences to her family and friends at this very sad time.”

Southport Conservative MP Damien Moore added: “Pat was a champion of local government and cared deeply for the residents in her ward. I am sure many will be saddened to learn of her passing.”

Sharon lands role as judge on Saturday night TV show!

A SINGER has landed a part in a prime time Saturday night TV show.

Sharon Ashton, from Southport, will help judge a new BBC One talent show in which contestants battle it out to win £50,000.

Vocal coach Sharon, 44, was approached by the BBC to be one of 100 judges hoping to find new talent on ‘All Together Now’ which starts at 7.15pm on Saturday.

Sharon has worked with international artists including The Supremes, Daniel Beddingfield and Snow Patrol, while her career as a teacher has seen her ladies’ choir ‘Just Voices’ win the Southport Festival three years in a row.

Her students have been in pop bands including the Sugababes and Atomic Kitten and have appeared in West End shows including Mamma Mia and Cats.

Sharon Ashton

Sharon said: “It was such a surreal moment when the BBC phoned and asked me to part of the show.

“They were really keen to get as much balance on the judging panel as possible and with my experience as a singing teacher and musical director of ladies barbershop chorus Just Voices they felt I had what they needed.

“Every judge has to be able to sing as a priority so my 30-year-plus

Work begins to create £15million care home

Glynn Hines, site manager at McGoff Construction at the former Mayflower industrial estate in Formby.

WORK on building a new £15million care facility in Formby is underway after the ground was officially ‘broken’.

The 76-bed development, on the site of the former Mayflower Industrial Estate, on Liverpool Road, is expected to open early next year, creating around 80 jobs.

The demolition of the existing buildings on the site has now begun, with McGoff Construction due to start building work shortly afterwards.

Site manager Glyn Hines showed the Champion around the land, where the state-of-the-art

4,000sqm building will be built.

It will be the seventh care facility by care home operator New Care in the North West, offering residential, nursing and specialist dementia care services.

Aimed at helping residents to maintain their independence as long as possible, the bedrooms will feature en-suite wet rooms, while the home itself will offer communal lounges, dining rooms offering fine dining and concierge services, spa-assisted bathrooms and landscaped gardens, as well as a hair salon and nail bar and a varied programme of activities and events.

career as a professional singer helped.

“I am part of an incredible panel made up of West End stars, recording artists, songwriters, record producers.

“It is pure family entertainment that will have you on the edge of your seat and laughing out loud.

“If the fun we had on set making the series is anything to go by then BBC One has got a real hit on their hands!”

Children to form peace choir MORE than 2,000 pupils from across Sefton will converge to form a peace choir and perform at the Liverpool Arena.

Peace Proms 2018 will see youngsters from the Liverpool Children’s Peace Choir be conducted by internationally acclaimed UK music educator Greg Beardsell at the city centre venue.

The event, which will take place on Saturday, (January 27) is part of a wider internationally recognised ‘Arts & Peace’ initiative which actively engages almost 30,000 school children in the UK and Ireland each year.

The musical programme is tailor made to ensure it is fun and engaging for children, and includes family favourites like Disney and pop songs, along with powerful peace anthems such as Michael Jackson’s ‘Earth Song’, and ‘You’re the Voice’ by John Farnham.

Sharon Treacey Dunne, the organiser for Peace Proms, explained how the event was first formed.

She said: “The Cross Border Orchestra of Ireland was set up in 1995, shortly after the cessation of violence in Northern Ireland, as a peace initiative.

“The idea was to unite young people from Cath-

olic and Protestant communities on both sides of the Irish border, through music.

“This was a very difficult time in Ireland’s political and cultural history, and the project was met with suspicion and opposition at the outset. However, with perseverance, the Cross Border Orchestra began to thrive and is now recognised internationally as a flagship Peace Initiative.”

New cycle route to stretch from Formby to city centre ‘Riverside route’ is part of £52million roadworks scheme

Formby Elim Pentecostal Church's new senior pastor Mark Savage with his wife, Nicola

Church welcomes new senior pastor

By Danielle Thompson A CONGREGATION of a church in Formby have welcomed their new senior pastor.

The Formby Elim Pentecostal Church formally welcomed Mark Savage, along with his wife, Nicola, and three young children, Theo, Joel and Francesca at his induction service earlier this month.

In a packed church, Mark was inducted into the senior role by the Elim Movement’s regional leader, Kevin Peat.

Mark and Nicola are originally from Morecambe and Lancaster.

Mark was a secondary school history teacher for 12 years before entering the ministry fulltime in 2012.

Mark and Nicola were youth

pastors in their home church of Father’s House in Lancaster, before moving to Christian Life Centre in Selly Oak, Birmingham, where Mark was assistant pastor for just over two years. In January 2015, they moved to Southport when Mark became the associate pastor at Lakeside Church, before moving to Formby Elim.

David Swannick, elder at Formby Elim Pentecostal Church said: “Mark and Nicola both have a passion to see everybody in the local church trained and equipped for reaching others, and to create an environment where people can encounter the power and presence of Jesus both in the church and outside of it.

“Their belief is that the church exists to impact its local community for the good.”

A 13 mile riverside route will be created for cyclists stretching from Formby all the way to the city centre.

It's part of a major £52million roadworks scheme to better connect the north of Liverpool to the city centre.

The Champion has reported how contractors for Liverpool City Council have completed works widening a major junction between Leeds Street and Great Howard Street (A565).

They have now moved on to begin a radical overhaul of the city’s historic Regent Road, known more commonly as the Dock Road, to be more pedestrian and cycle friendly.

The first element of the Regent Road project involves the laying of new pavements and road resurfacing with the creation of new footpaths to begin in February, followed by a purpose built cycle lane which will open up a new 13 mile riverside route from Formby to the city centre for the first time.

A seven mile southern cycle lane will then connect to Otterspool when the

proposed upgrade to The Strand is completed.

Preliminary groundworks have begun to address culverts and drainage with the first phase, starting at the city centre heading north to the Grade II listed Bascule Bridge at Stanley Dock in the city’s World Heritage Site, expected to be completed in Summer 2018.

The second phase which goes north of the 86-year-old bridge is scheduled to complete the following summer.

The improvements are seen as crucial for the wider regeneration of the area as Regent Road borders both Peel’s £5.5billion Liverpool Waters Scheme, which includes the new £400m Liverpool 2 Superport, and the Ten Streets Creativity District, as well as leading to Bramley Moore Dock - the location for Everton FC ’s proposed new football stadium.

Meanwhile contractors, Geoffrey Osborne Ltd, are continuing to convert the A565 into a new dual carriageway, which is part funded by the Liverpool City Region Growth Deal.

Expected to finish by Summer 2019, the £22m upgrade to North Liverpool’s Atlantic Corridors are a major part of Liverpool City Council’s wider £300m Better Roads programme to improve the city ’s road infrastructure.

The first phase of the A565 upgrade

was completed by Graham Construction in September 2017 after a year-long road closure enabled the £10m replacement of the Great Howard Street bridge, so it could handle more freight tonnage for the Liverpool2 deep water container terminal.

Councillor Ann O’Byrne, Deputy Mayor of Liverpool, said: “Upgrading our highways infrastructure is fundamental to building a better Liverpool – one that is match fit for the 21st century.

“This scheme is about future proofing the city’s growth in north Liverpool and is the golden thread to underpinning the success of major regeneration projects such as Liverpool Waters, the new Cruise Terminals, the Ten Streets District and the potential new home for Everton Football Club which will all help redefine our economy over the coming decades.

“Of course for commuters, highways works means temporary disruption, but by investing £52m in these schemes – with a further £130m of works to begin across the city this year – we will provide long term benefits for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians – which will help the city attract and accommodate new businesses, more tourists and create new jobs.”

A COUPLE whose family have owned their garden centre business for 70 years are shutting up shop this Sunday (January 28).

Shaun Lewis and his wife Hilary, both 58, are closing Dunscar Garden Centre in Tarleton, putting an end to their family ’s ownership of the business, which dates back to 1948.

Since that date, three generations of the family have helped run the successful business.

Until Christmas they employed 23 staff, but the numbers have dropped down to just five this week, as their staff have found alternative jobs.

Shaun revealed that his son lives in America and his daughter is settled in London, while his wife's nephews live in Scotland, so they do not have any Shaun and Hilary Lewis take stock after the first day of their 'everything must family to pass the business on to – and go' sale at Dunscar Garden Centre, Tarleton. that they sold it as a site rather than as a business. months ago and I want to concentrate concentrate on finishing renovating Shaun said: “My wife’s parents were on writing my second, due out this that! directors of the company and when summer and potentially go into screen“We kept people on as long as we they sadly passed away in 2016, it writing, so that will keep me busy. could and had to make some redundanchanged our perspective and made us “My wife wants to pick back up hob- cies but our staff have nearly all found want to sell Champion up and concentrate bies that she put on the back burner, other jobs now.

Plea to restore Art Deco building in town centre after safety concerns Report by Danielle Thompson CALLS have been made for a prominent Southport town centre building to be repaired and put back into use to improve both safety and tourism in the town.

The Art Deco facade of the upstairs floors above Leo’s Bar on the corner of Nevill Street started falling into the street at the end of last year, leading Sefton Council to install plastic safety barriers on the pavement to protect the public from falling masonry.

Dukes Ward Councillor Tony Dawson inspected the building with the council's Director of Planning last month and has been pressing council chiefs to use their powers to improve the site.

Sefton Council told the Champion that they are starting remedial works on the building later this month, and are looking into long-term options to ‘restore the building to its former glory.’

Cllr Dawson said: “I am concerned both for public safety and also because this prominent site is one of the first things many visitors to Southport see as they walk from Lord Street to the Pier and Kings Gardens.

“I am pressing the council to take speedy enforcement action against the freeholder of this building and, if no

speedy action is forthcoming, to do the remedial work and send the owner the bill.

“I inspected this building before Christmas with the Council's Director of Planning and was informed that the owner was being given a ‘last chance’ to get on with the work.

“I was also told that the facade had been made safe by knocking off any bits of cement which presented a risk.

“All that has happened since, sadly, is that the plastic barriers have blown all over the pavement in an ugly mess.

“If the building is really safe now, then the barriers can be taken away. In the meantime, I have personally put the ones which fell over back up.

“Unfortunately, the weight of one sandbag for each barrier was not enough to cope with Storm Eleanor!”

He added: “With the present level of

homelessness, the Council cannot allow useful buildings in good locations to be left empty for years. They have the powers to force these places back into use and they need to use them.”

A spokesman for Sefton Council responded: “We were made aware late last year that sections of the building’s render was unstable and a temporary barrier was erected to maintain public safety.

“However, the building's owner has since failed to take steps to permanently remove the danger and as a result we will shortly be undertaking necessary remedial works in default, in order to prevent further sections of loose render falling onto the highway.

“It is hoped that work will start at the end of January.

“We are also currently looking at various long term options to restore the building to its former glory.”

Taxpayers asked to pay £1 extra a month to support the police Report by Tom Martin COUNCIL taxpayers in Sefton will be asked if they would be willing to pay an extra £1 a month to help Merseyside Police in wake of crippling budget cuts.

Merseyside’s Police Commissioner, Jane Kennedy, is asking residents if they would want to fork out a little extra to help maintain police officer numbers and recruit new armed officers.

It comes after the government announced that the police in Merseyside would, once again, receive no more extra money from the Home Officee.

Instead, Police and Crime Commissioners will be expected to ask local council taxpayers to pay up to an extra £1 a month towards their police service.

Since 2010, Merseyside Police has had to make cuts of £103million, with an estimated £18m still to make by 2021/22.

If the Police Commissioner does not win the support of local people, Merseyside Police will be left facing a further shortfall of more than £3.17m – the equivalent of 64 police officer posts.

Ms Kennedy said: “The sad truth is that this government has once again left police forces around the country facing a funding black hole.

“They have washed their hands of their responsibility and shifting the burden of paying for the police onto local council taxpayers.

“By freezing the grant provided by central government at the 2017/18 rate - a reduction on the previous two years - the Policing Minister has imposed a real terms cut on the police budget as we contend with pay and inflationary pressures.

“His proposal is that I make up this shortfall by asking local taxpayers to pay more.

“This is a step I am reluctant to take, but if I don’t

Police Commissioner, Jane Kennedy

raise the policing element of local council tax then Merseyside Police will be penalised and our communities adversely affected.

“This money will be used to save police officer jobs and help us to recruit 20 new armed officers who are needed to help tackling the scourge of serious and organised crime on Merseyside.

“I know finances are tight for a lot of people on Merseyside at the moment so I don’t ask for this tax rise lightly.”

The Commissioner is now holding a consultation on the extra funding plea which would increase the police element of council tax payers’ bills from £110.65 to £118.65 a year.

Even with this increase, the Commissioner and Chief Constable will still be forced to make savings of £7million over the next 12 months.

Winter Weather - Personal Injury

Helping you through difficult times

As we move through winter, with many forecasters predicting colder snowier conditions than normal, some of us will find ourselves falling victim to the less favourable conditions. Regular winter storms add to the potentially treacherous driving conditions and drivers need to take extra care as a result of the conditions.

According to the Department of Transport, 251 people were seriously injured and 2,274 were slightly injured in reported road accidents during icy and snowy conditions in 2014. During December 2017 the RAC estimated it would be called out to 9,000 of its members on peak days. Of course, many of these accidents are actually avoidable.

During difficult driving conditions, many motorists fail to take the necessary care to other road users which can result in dangerous collisions and you suffering injury.

The law protects those injured as a result of another’s negligence and you may be able to claim compensation.

www.dphlaw.co.uk

The same goes for roads, pavements, car parks and public spaces. If surfaces become icy or snowy and they remain untreated this can lead to slips and trips which can cause serious injuries. In the case of Rockliffe v Liverpool City Council a pathway had been allowed to become icy and remained untreated; as a result Ms Rockliffe slipped causing her to suffer a serious head injury. As a result of her injuries, Ms Rockcliffe received damages of £35,000.

Sarah Beale, Chief Executive of the Construction Industry Training Board, said: “We understand it’s a very worrying time for the young people who were on the Carillion apprenticeship programme, but we can help them restart their training and get their careers back on track if they get in touch with us.

“Our industry needs the skills these young people are developing and we want to help them find new employers and get their qualifications.”

APPRENTICES from the collapsed Carillion who have been left without a job after the company went into administration, have been given a helping hand from a college in the borough.

Hugh Baird College hosted the Construction Industry Training Board last week and invited more than 200 apprentices who had been employed by Carillion to attend and get advice.

The event, held at the college's Port Academy Liverpool, was held to assess each apprentice’s skill level and requirements so they could discuss opportunities for continuing their training.

It is believed that Merseyside and Cheshire had the largest number of Carillion apprentices, with 1,400 previously on their books, many of them being young.

Long term solution needed to stop vandals wrecking bridge lights A SOUTHPORT Councillor is appealing for a ‘long-term answer’ to tackling ongoing vandalism in the town after dozens of the lights on the Marine Parade Bridge were smashed.

Dukes Ward Councillor Tony Dawson said: “Southport residents seeking an evening stroll to the coast over Christmas and the New Year had to so in semi-darkness.

“Not for the first time, mindless vandals

have smashed dozens of the light fittings on the Marine Parade Bridge.

“Repairs should be made as soon as possible but I am more concerned about getting to the heart of the problem.

“Spending public money re-fixing these attractive lighting units every few months cannot be the long term answer.

“The vandals just seem to treat each repair session as a challenge as to how fast they can smash the light fittings once

again. They are an easy target, requiring only seconds to smash each one!

“I have asked the police and council officers to co-ordinate to see if there is any way to catch those responsible while they are ‘in the act’.

“I am sure that the vandals have also boasted to their friends about their pathetic actions and would appeal to anyone who might know who is responsible to let the police know."

Fund for school is a real force for good A SPECIALIST school has received a grant from a national community fund to enable them to host more educational days out.

Presfield High School and Specialist College on Preston New Road in Southport, a specialist school for children on the autistic spectrum, received a £450 grant in Police Mutual’s national community sponsorship programme, Force for Good.

This is a not-for-profit organisation which aims to support the well-being of the police family and invites members of the force to nominate causes that improve the lives and well-being of their local communities.

Nationally, the project gave away £50,000 in grants during the last six months to 193 groups, ranging from £100 to £1,000.

Retired police officer Stephen Swinnerton nominated Presfield School, where his son, Daniel, is in his final year.

Daniel Swinnerton said: “After previously hosting a successful trip to London, the school is planning a trip to Ireland this year, to allow us to challenge ourselves Presfield High School further by travelling to and Specialist a location where we College teacher have not been previ- Jenna McKenna ously.”

Presfield High School and Specialist College teacher Jenna McKenna said: “Police Mutual’s Force for Good grant will help us to plan a fun-filled educational trip for a group of young people that may not get the chance to do this again in the future.

“Pupils will have the opportunity to gain confidence in being more independent and to develop their social skills and friendships, something that pupils on the Autistic Spectrum can find difficult at times. They will have the opportunity to create life-long lasting memories that will help to improve their self-esteem.”

Stephen Mann, chief executive of Police Mutual added: “Improving the lives of the police family is central to everything we do at Police Mutual, and a key part of this is community well-being.

“Force for Good was introduced as a way for our members and those connected with the wider police family to assist local projects and causes.

When this is serving or retired police officers, they have often come to know the initiative through their policing work, meaning that we are providing them with a chance to help improve the communities in which they work.

“It is a great honour to be able to support so many good causes that really do make tangible differences to the communities they serve, up and down the country.”

LETTERS to the Editor

Residents should have access to beach I walk my dogs on Ainsdale beach regularly but the charge for this is getting too high so I enquired about a yearly beach pass in July and bought one on the Sefton council site for £45.

I used it regularly until the beginning of October when I discovered the beach was closed for the winter.

I immediately went home and rang the parking department and was told my ‘yearly ’ pass was only for the summer months but while the beach was closed, parking restrictions on the yellow lines on the road up to the beach from the coast road roundabout had been lifted, and I was allowed to park there for the winter months only.

I continued to visit the beach as before and parked on the right side

of the road along with other dog walkers and have never seen a parking warden there.

I then heard that a number of wardens went down to Ainsdale beach and booked dozens of visitors cars, it was claimed.

This action seems indicative of a Council whose main aim in life seems to be to deter anyone, be they visitors to the area or residents from enjoying the facilities of Southport.

I actually went to this beach one Friday and found it so busy, there was nowhere left to park, so I went elsewhere. Can the Council afford to lose this revenue at a weekend? Or is it more profitable to keep parking restrictions in place and fine everyone?

The road to this beach is wide, and

there are no houses or usable buildings, and parked cars would not cause any obstruction as long as the beach exits are kept clear for emergencies.

I rang the council again asking why I had been told I could park with impunity and surprise, surprise, I was informed I’d been given the wrong informatioin!

At the very least, Southport residents should have parking access to their own beach at any time.

If the council can't afford to man the kiosk then parking restrictions on a little used road run up should be lifted, especially as I believe this beach will remain closed to cars until April/May of this year.

So sad to poke fun at my dogs With regards to last week’s letter by D. Eyre about dogs getting shocked whilst trying to board a train with their owner.

It’s so sad that D Eyre had to resort to making fun of two dogs getting shocked.

I hope this person is not a dog owner, because I’d be very worried for their dog’s welfare if he/she is.

Maybe they work for Merseyrail!

I think they are really sad to make fun of this situation and many people I’ve spoken to believe the same who have read the letter.

PICTURE of the week

Sound bites won’t help fix the NHS I cannot help but think that our newly elected MP Damien Moore, is a political lightweight who thinks by putting ‘sound bites’ in the local paper, he is somehow doing his job.

In a recent Champion for instance, he says the government grant will help local hospitals cope through this winter. This is true, because ANY amount of money will help.

What he does say next is some inane comment about the Labour Party undermining improvements. However, what he does not mention, and this is the purpose for him being our MP, are reasons behind the need for extra funding in the first place.

Mr Moore talks about this critical time of the year, as though winter is some surprise, does he not know that it comes around every year!

If he needs to ‘champion’ Southport's health needs, he needs to look at overall under spending on the NHS leading to bed shortages, shortage of nurses, doctors, technicians, ancillary staff etc.

He needs to ask questions about people having to wait in ambulances, people being treated in ambulances, people waiting on trollies for hours on end, operations being cancelled and so on.

Lastly, recently there was a long debate on the NHS in the House of Commons, was Moore there, did he speak? No he did not, yet this is something he says he cares about, and comments on in the local newspaper, but cannot be bothered to do something about.

I am not a supporter of John Pugh, our former MP but the one thing you can say about him is that he cares for the people of Southport because he lives here and has friends here.

He was not bothered about ‘sound bites’ - he was bothered about getting stuff done by rooting out the unjust causes.

In support of John Lee’s letter (Champion, January 10), it should be remembered that our politicians also have a lot to answer for in perpetuating the Brexit/Remain antagonism which still permeates across the UK, corrupting everything from the BBC to personal friendships.

Go Green! Premium Bonds are not Experts predict even worse flooding and weather than we have experienced already.

Sea levels have risen and decisions need to be made such as where are we to put flood defences and where is the money to come from?

Surely, it’s time to address climate change now, not in years to come as intended by our present government.

We need zero plastics, zero supermarket bags, zero plastic bottles, zero fracking and zero factory farming.

These things will continue to pollute our earth, so we need to listen more to ‘Green’ politics, and we all need to take responsibility now.

Seriously concerned Southport

£29.95+vat

the gifts they once were...

In my youth it was not unusual for parents or grandparents to buy Premium Bonds as gifts to celebrate birthdays and other memorable occasions for the children.

In those days the Post Office managed the scheme and one had just to get a form from the Post Office, fill it in and submit back to the Post Office.

Not so today.

The scheme is now managed by NS&I (National Savings and Investment) based in Scotland.

You can obtain an application form from their website and here is where the problems start.

To follow directions to access the form is complicated and not easy to find especially for one who is not so conversant with the web.

The form itself is very complicated to complete and requires a concentrated effort especially for a grandparent for example who is applying on behalf of a grandchild.

Not only is it necessary to provide full details of the child and the grandparent, but also the Shoppers are being mislead with the term ‘free parents, who, on the range’.

Images of peaceful farmyard scenes and contented face of it, are not really involved… are they? animals we all saw in colouring books when growA cheque for the fee is ing up and now perpetuated on egg boxes and TV submitted with the ads is a world away from reality. application in an envelThe RSPCA stamp of approval, lovely labels, fancy ope which one is packaging and high welfare claims means zilch to advised to address to NS laying hens. & I.

C.C. Southport ence that this does

Free range ‘myth’

actually work but I must admit to serious misgivings just to blindly follow these instructions.

Then you wait...

In my case I was applying for Premium Bonds to the value of £100 for each of my six grandchildren aged between 6 months and 20 years.

It was brought to my attention that children above the age of 16 have to submit the fee from their own resources either by cheque or transfer from their own Building Society account or similar.

So the first point is it is no longer possible for a parent or grandparent to make a present of Premium Bonds to the children. Secondly, as none of my grandchildren above 16 had their own account, the plan failed and I just had to make a gift of the money to each.

As for the children under 16 years old, the applications have been held pending the submission of certified copies of the birth certificates or evidence of child benefit statements.

As I had issued a cheque to cover more than one application caught up in the above complexities, the cheque was returned and new forms had to be submitted.

At this time four of the six applications have now been withdrawn leaving only two remaining which are still in the process.

Incidentally the initial applications were made in November.

For the life of me I cannot understand why the system is as it is and even the potential for fraud or money laundering surely cannot be seriously involved with amounts as small as in my case ?

FREE QUOTES Southport’s Largest Family Run Business

A DROP-IN event aimed at supporting people affected by one of the most common causes of sight loss in the UK is taking place in Southport.

The Macular Society, working in partnership with iSIGHT Clinic, has organised the event, ‘Living with Age-Related Macular Degeneration’.

The event is being staged today (Wednesday, January 24) from 9am to 5pm at iSIGHT at Drayton House on Lulworth Road.

Visitors will learn more about macular conditions and the support services and research work of the Macular Society.

There is also the opportunity to chat about their condition and find out about local support

groups run by Galloway’s Society for the Blind. A range of gadgets and technology are on display, designed to help with everyday tasks, including lighting, e-readers and tablets.

Michelle Dutton from the Macular Society said: “We’re delighted to be working alongside iSIGHT Clinic to bring this event to Southport.

“It’s a great way to raise awareness of AMD and other macular conditions and the effect that

sight loss can have on a person’s life. This clinic offers NHS treatments for wet AMD. We are delighted that they see the patient as a person, who need to be supported.

“There are lots of things that can be done to limit the impact of AMD and the speed of its progression. We can offer lots of advice on this, and highlight the support that’s on offer to anyone living locally who has a macular condition.”

A LIQUIDATOR has been appointed to officially deal with the closure of Bar Eighty-Eight on Lord Street, after it was declared insolvent.

Stuart Kelly, of insolvency practice HBG Corporate Ltd, has been appointed the liquidator of the venue which shut its doors for the final time on January 8, with the loss of 25 jobs.

The reasons given for it’s sudden closure was due to a ‘significant fall in trade and a high level of fixed costs.’

Mr Kelly said: “Bar Eighty-Eight is a very wellknown bar in the heart of Southport town centre.

“It is a bar that had previously been extremely popular over the years with locals and tourists alike.

It is very sad news that the bar has now been forced

to close due primarily to a material fall in trade.

“The board of directors of the company have considered its financial position and have now concluded it is insolvent. It was wound up and placed into creditors’ voluntary liquidation on January 16.”

Dog walker accuses council of misleading visitors to beach over parking restrictions

Parking restrictions at Ainsdale beach entrance.

A DOG walker has accused Sefton Council of misleading permit holders about parking on double yellow lines near to Ainsdale.

Crossens resident Angela Bulteel, 75, said that she applied for a £45 beach car park pass last June, which she believed that she could use for a year. She rang the Council and was informed that it was for the ‘season’ and that when the beach car park closed for the winter, it ran out.

But she claims that she was then told by council staff, in October, that she could park on the double yellow lines leading from the closed car park up towards Pontins as long as she left her permit on display.

The retired antiques dealer, who walks her two German Shepherds and Border Collie cross every day, used to live in Ainsdale until four years ago and loves walking the dogs on the beach.

Angela visits Ainsdale beach with the dogs at least three times a week and she has never been ticketed for parking on that stretch of double yellows on the road in the last three months. But she was shocked when

TIME FOR A NEW GARAGE DOOR?

she found out that a raft of dog-walkers had been ticketed in the same place and parked on the pavement opposite on Friday, January 5, and she blames ‘misleading’ advice from the council.

She said: “I thought the daily £5 beach charge was too high so I bought an expensive £45 pass which I used until October when I discovered it was closed for the winter. I rang the parking department who told me that while it was closed, parking restrictions on the yellow lines on the road up to the beach from the coast road roundabout had been lifted and I could park on the right side of the road for the winter months only, which I did with no problems from October.

“A number of wardens went down to Ainsdale beach earlier this month and booked dozens of visitors. This action will deter visitors or residents from enjoying the facilities. “ I went myself to the beach that day and found it so busy, I went elsewhere. Can the council afford to lose this revenue at a weekend or is it more profitable to keep parking restrictions in place and fine everyone?

“The road to this beach is wide, and there are no houses or usable buildings, and parked cars would not cause any obstruction as long as the beach exits are kept clear for emergencies.

“I rang the council again asking why I had been told I could park with impunity and surprise, surprise, I was informed I’d been given the wrong information. “ At the very least, Southport residents should have parking access to their own beach at any time. If the council can't afford to man the kiosk then parking restrictions on a little-used road run-up should be lifted especially as it will remain closed to cars until April!”

A spokesman for Sefton Council said: "On-street parking restrictions on the north side of Shore Road are lifted between October and April when Ainsdale beach car park is closed. All restrictions are clearly signposted.

“Anyone who receives a parking ticket has a right to appeal and we will always look at each case based on the individual circumstances.”

Bogus workmen on the prowl in borough

Bus users are left guessing over changes to timetables WHAT’S in a word - the word ‘approximately ’ in particular?

I’ve just been consulting my trusty, if by no means complete, Collins Concise English Dictionary and come up with the answers ‘almost exact or correct’, ‘to come near to’ or ‘to be almost the same as.’

So quite a useful word in many circumstances.

It’s fair enough to say “I will be there in approximately an hour” or “It will take approximately two gallons of water to fill it.”

Used thus the word gives its recipient a clear idea within a short time frame of exactly what you mean.

But last week I was puzzled by this word.

Just before the weekend before last, bus stop timetables in my neck of the woods suddenly sprouted a notice, with an unmissable red ‘warning’ at its top, giving the information that as from the following Saturday these stops would be out of use for the two ‘through’ bus routes in Maghull - the 300 service to Southport and the 310 bus to Ormskirk because of roadworks at the junction of the A59 Northway and Liverpool Road South.

I can’t remember the exact wording of the whole thing, but as well as giving the alternative routes these two services would follow (good), it also said that these arrangements would last for ‘approximately two days’ (bad).

Now the diversion these two routes followed took them some distance away from the bus stops affected.

This meant that in my case I would need to walk perhaps half a mile to reach them - which wouldn’t have been such an awful thing just for a couple of days over the weekend.

But would the buses have returned to their normal routes on Monday morning? What was an intending passenger to do? Guess which bus stop patiently to wait at? And if so, for how long, given that buses have been known on occasion to be several minutes behind the published time?

And it’s no good saying you could find out on the Merseytravel or Arriva websites.

There are still many folk like me who cannot do that - but even for those who could, if they hadn’t seen the timetable notice beforehand, they would not have realised the need to before they set out anyway.

Now I don’t blame either Arriva (operators of the two services concerned), or even Merseytravel who put up the timetables because obviously neither could have known exactly when the road works would be completed.

But these diversions covered roughly a mile of the two routes and involved only six bus stops.

Surely it would have been possible for Merseytravel to have sent somebody out in a van or car as soon as it was known that the 300 and 310 were reverting to their normal routes, and stick a piece of paper over the ‘WARNING’ notice?

I know this is something I have bitched about before, but reliance by bodies in authority suffer from a modern-day problem of assuming that a) everybody has and can use a computer, and that in the case of public transport in particular, b) that everyone will consult the thing each time they go out to catch a local bus or train.

A few years ago I was Maghull Town Council's representative on a Merseytravel consultative committee.

And time and time again, when a bus route was changed or timing altered, their response to my question “How do you expect people to know about that?” was “It’s on our website” which was a fat lot of good if you’ve just turned up at the stop for your bus to work, only to find that it now left five minutes earlier! Till next time...

MORE burglaries have taken place across Sefton, following a warning from force chiefs that residents need to do more to protect their homes.

An anti-crime summits were held earlier this month between Merseyside Police chiefs and Sefton politicians, during which the force reminded residents that there are a number of ways that home-owners can reduce the risk of a burglary happening to them.

These include ensuring that doors and windows are fully secure at all times. A number of burglaries in the area have happened when entry was made easy for the burglars, say officers.

As well as the burglaries, police chiefs are also warning the public to be on guard against the occupants of a red Vauxhall Mokka vehicle which has been offering to carry out work on the homes of elderly residents, but at vastly inflated prices.

The ‘workmen’ are believed to be carrying out this practice across the North West.

Another scam on police radar is where men in

a number of vehicles, mostly white vans, are also asking for inflated sums for work to be carried out at homes in Sefton. In some case, the work is not even done.

A spokesperson for Merseyside Police said: “Over recent weeks we have had some incidents where it has been reported that suspect males have called at the home addresses of our elderly residents and insisted upon carrying out repair work to their homes which in most cases has not been necessary.

“Repair work to roofs, gutters and jet washing of driveways are the type of work offered and then charged at over-inflated prices.

“They have convinced the resident that this work is necessary and insisted upon payment before any work is carried out.

“On some occasions money has been handed to these suspects who have then left without carrying out any work as promised. At other times the workmen have offered to take residents to cash points to obtain the money for payment. In each incident the suspects have been described

as white males using a variety of vehicles, particularly white flat-back vans. If anybody has any information which would assist in identifying these suspects or the registration numbers of any vehicles used in this type of crime then please call your local policing team on 101 .

“My advice is to communicate through your locked door and DO NOT agree to any work to be carried out by persons calling at your home address. Tell the individuals that you are calling the police to check that they are legitimate trades persons.

“If these people call and state that the work is urgent, the likelihood is that it is not. If you have concerns that this work is necessary then I would advise that you call a reputable company and receive a number of quotes before committing to the work being done.

“Do not be fooled, these people will sound friendly and convincing. They are not, they are bogus tradesmen and their sole aim is to deceive you and take money in payment for work not started or completed.”

Residents with 'hidden disabilities' in line to benefit from overhaul to blue badge scheme SEFTON residents with ‘hidden disabilities’ could soon have greater access to blue badges under new government plans.

The proposals, which would herald the most significant changes since the blue badge was introduced in 1970, would help remove barriers to travel for people with conditions such as dementia and autism, allowing them better access to work, shops and amenities.

This, say campiagners, could also further help create parity between physical and mental health.

Currently, about 2.4m disabled people in England have a blue badge, allowing them to park on roads without charge and normally without time limit. Around 75% of blue badge holders say they would go out less often if they didn’t have one.

Transport Minister Jesse Norman said: “Blue badges give people with disabilities the freedom to get jobs, see friends or go to the shops with as much ease as possible.

“We want to try to extend this to people with invisible disabilities, so they can enjoy the freedom to get out and about, where and when they want.”

The changes could also see a variety of healthcare professionals, who are better placed to identify if mental health causes mobility issues, carry out assessments to determine if a blue badge should be given.

Sarah Lambert, Head of Policy at the National Autistic Society,

said: “The National Autistic Society welcomes this government proposal. It could mean that many more autistic people will qualify for a blue badge, which can be a lifeline.

“There are an estimated 700,000 autistic people in the UK and while every person on the autism spectrum is different, for some, not being able to park in a predictable place close to a destination can cause a great deal of anxiety and put their safety at risk.

“Some autistic people can experience too much information from the environment around them on public transport, while other autistic people might not be aware of dangers on the road.

“However, current blue badge rules mean that all-too-often autistic people don’t qualify.”

Councils have different interpretations of the existing rules with some recognising hidden disabilities, but the changes proposed would give clear and consistent guidelines for the whole of England.

Call for council to review The BEST Line Dance housing plans in borough holidays in the UK following announcement of new government policy Choose from more than FROM ONLY 75 Line dance holidays on environmental targets in 20 great locations £ hosted by 30 of the very best Line dance teachers

pp inc accommodation

SEFTON Council chiefs are being asked to review housing plans in the borough following a new government statement toughening up environmental requirements.

In launching a new environmental policy recently, the Prime Minister Theresa May, called for the ‘net environmental gain’ principle for new developments to deliver environmental improvements locally and nationally, and to recognise the relationship between the quality of the environment and development.

It aims to support improvements for the environment while ensuring economic growth and reducing costs, complexity and delays for developers.

Sefton Borough councillor, John Pugh, believes that this means that all future development must enhance and improve the environment.

Cllr Pugh told the Champion: “It is clear that Sefton’s current plans do not meet this test.

“The government policy document specifically mentions

...but authority claims it already meets all the requirements

Cllr John Pugh

“flooding” and there is no doubt that many of Sefton’s housing projects increase rather than decrease pressure on our ancient drainage system.

“The new policy raises the threshold for what we expect of new development in order to give more sustainable outcomes.

“The council repeatedly state that they must observe government policy and here is an opportunity to run a new slide rule over proposed developments in Southport, Maghull and all parts of Sefton.

“My instinct is that many proposed current developments would fail the new test.

“That’s scarcely surprising when the council’s previous policy relied on consultants who also work for the big house building firms.

“Opposition councillors will be seeking an early opportunity to force a council re-think in the light of the new policy.”

A spokesman for Sefton Council responded: “Government policy is for new development not to increase flood risk within the site or elsewhere and where possible to reduce the causes and impacts of flooding.

“This approach has been taken to all sites identified for development in the Sefton Local Plan which was approved by an Independent Inspector.

“Our Local Plan promotes the use of Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) to manage and reduce surface water run-off and flood risk, and also to improve water quality, create habitat and manage flooding naturally.

“The Government’s environmental plan promises to strengthen national policy for SuDS, which will support the Council’s current approach.”

Firefighters to roll out blood pressure checks

MERSEYSIDE Fire and Rescue Service is rolling out a new initiative... holding blood pressure checks within the community.

The British Heart Foundation has funded the service to offer blood pressure checks, advice and signposting as part of ‘Safe and Well’ visits being carried out within the community from this month.

The programme builds on the fire service’s established Home Fire Safety Check initiative and supports local health needs by delivering recognised health interventions with specially trained fire service advocates.

Undertaken in conjunction with the NHS, fire service staff can provide advice on how to avoid a trip or fall in the home, the benefits of quitting smoking or reducing their alcohol consumption and awareness of the National bowel cancer screening programme.

The inclusion of free blood pressure checks into the scheme is a result of a partnership with Champs Public Health Collaborative following their successful bid for a BHF grant to sup-

By Danielle Thompson port a community-based project aimed at preventing, detecting and managing cases of high blood pressure across Merseyside.

The initial three-month pilot, which launched earlier this month, has also enabled the teams to be equipped with blood pressure machines and receive appropriate training.

The checks will be offered to residents over 65 and other at-risk groups.

It is estimated that there are 163,000 people in Merseyside with undiagnosed high blood pressure.

High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a silent and potentially deadly condition that significantly increases a person’s chance of a heart attack or stroke. This initiative will increase opportunities for blood pressure testing and monitoring outside of GP practices as many people are unaware that they have high blood pressure.

Phil Byrne from Merseyside Fire and

Scams warning to public SEFTON residents are being urged to beware of two recent scams which target victims in their own homes.

The first scam featured a man, approximately 50 years old, who was reported to Merseyide Police after knocking on the doors of houses in Merepark Drive in Southport, stating that he was from Sefton Council and was collecting soft toys.

The council has confirmed that they are not aware of anyone

collecting toys in the area.

The man was described as white, bald, wearing a black coat and scarf with a lanyard around his neck stating Sefton Council.

The second warning is from Lancashire Police, who said that they have received reports of two men knocking on doors claiming to be from BT and stating that they need access to the property immediately to fix a phone line problem.

These men do not represent BT, have no

ID cards on them and appear to be targeting vulnerable individuals who are living alone. A card has been pushed through letterboxes promising to return.

Always ask for ID, and if in doubt, call the company which they claim to represent - but don’t call any phone numbers they give you themselves.

If you have someone trying to gain entry to your property, you can call the police on 999, or report suspicious sightings on 101.

Rescue Service said: “It is fantastic that we are now able to include the offer of a blood pressure check as part of our Safe and Well visits.

“Our staff have the unique ability to access homes and engage with vulnerable members of the community that other agencies may not.

“This places us in a strong position to support our mission of making our communities safer and stronger, at the same time as supporting the wider health needs of residents.

“Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service advocates have been specially trained to deliver the checks and working with our health partners we are able to refer those with high blood pressure to receive the correct help and support.

“In addition we will be providing advice on how to maintain healthy blood pressure.”

For free fire safety advice or to request a home fire safety check, call 0800 731 5958.

Firefighters will undertake blood pressure tests

Fundraisers urged to take on swim challenge

Diabetes UK wants swimmers to tackle 22 miles

FUNDRAISERS in Sefton are being urged to take on a new swimming-based challenge between next month and May. The team at Diabetes UK are looking for Southport and Formby residents to take on Swim 22, between February 22 and May 22.

Participants will be asked to cover 22 miles - the equivalent of crossing the English Channel.

People taking on the challenge can swim in their local pool alone or, better still, with family, friends or colleagues. The distance can even be split between a team to make it easier for everyone.

Stephen Ryan from Diabetes UK said: “Swimming is a fantastic way to stay fit

and healthy, have fun and set yourself a challenge.

“Whether you’re an absolute beginner or a seasoned swimmer, our team will be on hand to offer swimming tips and fundraising advice.

“Every day, around 700 people are diagnosed with diabetes. When diabetes is not well managed it can lead to serious complications including heart disease, stroke, blindness, kidney failure and amputations.

“Every length you complete and every pound you raise brings us closer to our vision of a world where diabetes can do no harm. So sign up and make a splash!”

SEFTON Council will host a ‘Keep Warm, Keep Well’ event next month to help vulnerable people get through the rest of winter.

The local authority, alongside Bootle-based Sefton OPERA, are supporting the National Energy Action’s Warm Homes Campaign by organising an event at the Atkinson Arts Centre, in Southport, on Monday, February 19 from 11am.

A recent report highlighted that over a million families won’t be able to meet basic costs of living this winter, facing an income shortfall of up to £9,331 per year.

Many vulnerable people will be hit hard, including older people and those in ill-health, living in energy inefficient homes that are difficult and expensive to heat.

Cllr Catie Page, Sefton Council’s Fuel Poverty Champion, said: “Living in a cold damp home can lead to extremely poor health, especially for the more vulnerable members of our community.

“There is however excellent work going on locally to tackle this problem. I urge anyone living in a cold home or concerned about their energy bills to come along to our Keep Warm, Keep Well on February 19.”

Information stands will be open between 11am and 12.30pm, followed by a free tea dance from 1.30pm.

If you are unable to attend but would like to know more about help with your energy bills, contact Sefton’s Affordable Warmth Team on 0151 934 2222.

Youngsters to walk from Goodison Park to Haigh Avenue for footy fundraiser MEMBERS of Southport undernines football team will be swapping football boots for walking gear when the take on a walk from Everton to their beloved Haig Ave home ground next month.

The youngsters and their families are taking on the 17-mile hike start-

ing at 6am at Everton FC’s ground, Goodison Park, on Sunday, February 3, to raise funds to allow them to attend a weekend-long football tournament in Yorkshire.

The trek is expected to take around eight hours and the boys are hoping to make it back in

time for the Southport vs Telford Match at 3pm.

The money raised, which they hope will top £1,000, will help pay for the boys to attend the weekend football tournament at Flamingo Land Yorkshire, as well as transport to and from Yorkshire.

Room with a view was just the tonic to banish those January blues ADVERTISING FEATURE

Champion Travel Review: Waterhead Hotel, the Lakes IN the latest of our travel reviews, the Champion’s TOM MARTIN headed to the Lakes for a winter break at the Waterhead Hotel.

EXPECTATIONS were high when I set off for a weekend stay in one of the most popular hotels in the Lake District – and I wasn’t disappointed.

The second I pulled around the corner of Lake Road and got a first glimpse of the grey building overlooking the calm water, it quickly became clear why this is such a popular choice of accomodation for lovers of the Lakes. On arrival, I was given a warm welcome by an informative and friendly receptionist, who pointed out the key amenities of the hotel and local area.

I found out that some of the many perks of the booking includes free entry to the leisure facilities at sister hotel, Low Wood Bay, only a mile down the road, and discounted fares on the lake’s popular cruise boats.

I was then shown to my room, and as soon as I stepped inside my eyes were drawn to the breathtaking views of Lake Windermere - heightened by the tall windows which showcase the stunning scenery in all its glory.

On a cold January morning, the best way to view Lake Windermere is definitely from luxury lakeside view accommodation!

There are around 40 hotel rooms in total, many of which have a clear view of the lake, and all of them feature the usual complimentary tea and coffee.

However, what stood out was the complimentary locally distilled gins, and peanuts – and for the more sweet-toothed of guests, there was gingerbread from nearby Grasmere, and jelly sweets. It gave me an instant

Your Invitation to Southport’s Slimmers’ food festival Slimmers from Southport are aiming to make an annual month-long healthy food festival the biggest and best yet. ‘Love it, cook it, share it’ is the motto of Slimming World’s Free Food February, so to mark the launch of the 2018 campaign members of the Southport and Formby Slimming World groups will be creating a delicious healthy feast to enjoy together. From 28th January to 3rd March, slimmers will celebrate how they’ve all lost weight without hunger and discovered (or rediscovered) a passion for tasty, filling ‘Free’ food.

The festival, which is in its fourth year, also marks the publication of Slimming World’s latest recipe book Little Book of Menus*. Following the big feast and throughout Free Food February, the slimmers – will also be challenged to pass on their new-found love of healthy food to their family and friends in a bid to ‘love it, cook it, share it’ with the whole local community.

Everyone will be using #FreeFoodFeb to share their mouth-watering meals on social media, too. The launch party also includes the group’s annual Young Slimmer of the Year competition, which praises and recognises Slimming World’s bright young things – those inspiring members aged 16 to 21 who’ve developed healthy habits that they can take into adulthood to help them stay slim for life. Everyone is welcome to come along and find out more about how Slimming World – and Free Food February - could help them on their weight loss journey – as well as try some tasty treats from the spreads at any of our groups below. For more information or if you’d like to come along please come to any of our warm and friendly groups or contact the consultant. Everyone is welcome!!

taste of the Lake District and set the weekend off nicely.

Elsewhere in the room, the beds were incredibly comfortable and the underfloor heating in the bathroom felt great on my barefeet in the morning! Leaving the room and walking through the hotel, there was a warm and homely feel to the place. This was particularly noticeable in the lobby area with a roaring fireplace and comfy leather couches, reminiscent of a country house living room.

The dining area and bar are located on the ground floor and appeared bright, spacious and stylish.

For breakfast, there was a healthy mixture of cereal and pastries on the buffet table, or from the kitchen there were a range of hot dishes, including pancakes, smoked salmon, an American breakfast and the popular Waterhead Grill.

Understandably, there wasn't

much activity in the outdoor seating area with it being the middle of January, but in the summer months, the Waterhead boasts its own outdoor pizza oven.

For my evening meal, The Bar & Grill restaurant prides itself on locally sourced food. I can’t speak for everything on the menu, but the Crisp Pulled Pork Croquettes, Confit Duck Leg and Char-grilled Cumbrian Chicken Breast were delicious!

Having left the car outside the hotel, I didn’t need it again for the whole weekend. Boats on the lake and a bus stop on the htoel’s front door means getting about the area isn't a problem and Ambleside town centre is only a 15 minute walk away.

Overall, it was a thoroughly relaxing and enjoyable stay at the Waterhead Hotel. If you love the Lakes, this is definitely the best way to make the most of a weekend away.

TRANSPORT chiefs from Liverpool City Region Combined Authority want to see more people cycling and walking to work after claiming it can lead to a happier life.

A new ‘Arrive Happy’ campaign has been launched, which will last until July, to promote the health and wellbeing benefits of walking and cycling to work.

It is believed that walking or cycling for just ten minutes a day as part of a commute to work can help to lift mood, provide more energy, reduce stress levels and help sleep better.

Steve Rotheram, Metro Mayor for the Liverpool

3' Slider Divan

City Region said: “Arrive Happy is an imaginative and innovative campaign that supports two of my key pledges - to support green sustainable travel and promote better health and mental well-being. “Walking and cycling for 30 minutes a day can be both personally rewarding and socially beneficial. “It’s also true that a happier and healthier work-force is also going to be more productive and motivated. These are small changes in lifestyle with potential to deliver big and life-changing impacts.�

ENTERTAINMENT

Royal Court playing host to Her Benny LIVERPOOL Royal Court plays host to Her Benny from this Thursday (January 25) until Saturday, February 10.

The musical, which won the International Quest for New Musicals, is celebrating its 25th Anniversary.

It was first staged in Liverpool in 1993 where it played to sell-out audiences at The Empire Theatre.

The show has received a makeover for this production but still remains true to Silas K Hocking’s original novel, an emotive tale that centres on the life and times of Benny Bates and his waif like sister Nell in Victorian Liverpool. It’s a feel good classic rags to riches story but it’s not all serious though, far from it. There is plenty of scouse humour, spectacular dance numbers, memorable tunes and rich and engaging dialogue.

The cast includes John McGrellis who has appeared in several productions in the city’s theatres and was more recently DI Martin Leahy in the widely acclaimed ITV series Little Boy Blue and the fabulous Lindzi Germain, one of The Royal Court’s regulars.

She is a wonderful all rounder who has starred in stage plays, farces, gritty dramas and musical theatre.

Most recently she starred as Angela Gabriel in The Royal Court’s sell out Christmas production The Scouse Nativity.

Together with Janet Cowley, ex Phantom of the Opera, and Elliott Hanna who played the leading role of Billy Elliot in the West End production at the Victoria Palace Theatre London, they join a stellar professional cast drawn primarily from the Merseyside area and a group of juvenile performers chosen from an audition held The Adelphi Hotel, Liverpool.

More than 250 young hopefuls from the region attended and it took a gruelling four days to make

the final selections.

“The parts of the juvenile leads in this production, Eva Lawrence and Nell and Benny Bates are challenging ones”, said writer and director Anne Dalton. They are bigger than in most musicals but I am delighted to have found youngsters who are just perfect for the roles. Due to their young age and the requirements of the licensing laws I have had to choose three children for each role but because of the wonderful turn out at the auditions I was able to find youngsters to fit the parts.”

For this special production Anne has revamped the script, replaced a song and has taken the opportunity to have the whole show re-orchestrated.

She’s delighted that Greg Last from Formby agreed to take on this role. This exceptional musical director and arranger has worked in the West End and on tours across the UK and abroad.

Most recently he was M.D. and arranger for The Everyman Christmas pantomime. The show has also been dazzlingly re-choreographed. The multitalented Nazene Danielle, who coincidently played the part of little Eva when she as a child, carried out this task with aplomb.

For tickets contact the Royal Court Box office on 0151 709 4321 www.royalcourtliverpool.com.

Oh, what a night! Musical provided ‘a great evening’ Review by Henry James THE musical Jersey Boys worked its way back to the Liverpool Empire with its second UK tour earlier this month.

It tells the true story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons and looks at how the band was created, the huge success it had despite coming from the wrong side of the tracks and the eventual break-up of the original members.

The show mixes music from the band with action sequences to tell their story in a documentarystyle format. The first part of the musical was narrated by Tommy DeVito (Simon Bailey). Simon was perfect in the part and portrayed Tommy with plenty of swagger.

Tommy then discovers a teenage Frankie Castelluccio (Michael Watson), who goes on to change his last name to Valli, and looks out for him. Michael has appeared in the show in the West End and it showed. He was able to sing Valli’s famous falsetto voice well and he looked at ease in the part.

The production showed that it was Joe Pesci (Stephen O’Riain) who told Tommy about Bob Gaudio (James Winter). James brought plenty of humour to the role and gave some good asides to the audience.

Nick Massi (Karl James Wilson) was the fourth member of the band and it was Nick who helped train Frankie to sing in the early years.

The story was told in an entertaining way through the action sequences. It was the music

which really stood out here and some of the band's biggest hits were played towards the end of the first half and they include: Sherry, Big Girls Don't Cry, Walk Like a Man, December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night), and My Eyes Adored You. The four actors performed well and they were accompanied by some excellent drumming.

The second half highlighted the difficult times the band had. It also showed the induction of The Four Seasons’ into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990. There were some moving scenes towards the end of the evening which Frankie narrated, which told of the highs and lows he has had in his life.

Jersey Boys did not disappoint and was an interesting look at the lives of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. 9/10

Church hall group to present Catch One For The Jack and the Beanstalk Road at Little Theatre Preview by Ron Ellis SOUTHPORT Dramatic Club’s next play is the Willy Russell comedy, One For The Road, set during the 1980s on a northern housing estate with pretensions of grandeur. What you might call Abigail’s Party country.

While Pauline (Jennifer Corcoran) schemes to keep up with smug neighbours, Jane (Sam Roberts) and Roger (Paul Wilkinson), who are trying to catch the culprits responsible for wrecking the estate's garden gnomes, Pauline's husband, Dennis (Tony O’Keefe), is approaching his 40th birthday with dread. How did his dreams of freedom change into a world of John Denver records and upmarket cottage pie? Time, he thinks, for action.

Lots of laughs but Willy Russell updated the script in 1985 to reflect the times so beware of strong language.

Directed by Tracey Batchelor, the play runs from

SO FAR Theresa May’s yet to make any announcement banning future episodes of Love Island being broadcast for good. Oasis are yet to get back together, and Britain’s best brewers still haven’t worked out how to create beer that helps you lose weight.

But very occasionally things you keep your fingers crossed for do actually happen. Regular readers might recall that in these very pages about six months ago I openly wished for Land Rover to bring the Defender back, if only so it could give all the aftermarket customisers currently ruining the old ones a well-deserved drubbing. Amazingly, they’ve only gone and done it.

The Defender Works V8, to give it its official title, is not Britain’s biggest carmaker admitting it got it wrong all along and begrudgingly putting the nation’s most hardcore off-roader back into production. It’s being tackled by Jaguar Land Rover’s classic car division, but nor is it one of their beautifully executed revivals of its greatest hits, like the Jaguar E-types or the two-door Range Rovers it’s put together in recent years. This is Land Rover playing the aftermarket boys at their own game, by taking old ones, and imagining how much cooler they’d be with big alloys, a noisy V8 and leatherlining trimmings. And then making it happen.

As a result it’s rather more expensive than the regular Defenders ever were – £150,000, since you’re asking – but it does churn out 400bhp, so it can hit sixty in 5.6 seconds AND go mountain climbing afterwards.

Admittedly, you’d be a bit cheesed off if you bought one of the last-of-the-line Defenders two years ago, but Land Rover says that it’s only because it’s celebrating its 70th birthday this year. Honest. They won’t make any more Defenders after that. Promise!

As someone who spent most of their childhood in Land Rover’s V8 offerings I’m more than happy for them to have another crack at it – and while I reckon it’s a lovely birthday gesture it achieves what I suspect was Land Rover’s aim all along, because it looks so much better thought-out than all the dreadful Pimp My Defender offerings doing the rounds at the moment.

For all its blacked out alloys and chromed door handles the Works V8 looks like it could still fit in at a farmers’ market in deepest Shropshire. Obviously my next wish is for roughly £150,000 to appear in my bank account.

Fingers crossed, and all that…

A second win for Tommy Fleetwood in Abu Dhabi. Picture by Getty Images

Tommy keeps up stunning form with Abu Dhabi trophy triumph Report by Henry James TOMMY Fleetwood continued his stuning form when he won the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship on Sunday, after holing six birdies on the last nine holes picking up a winner’s cheque of $500,000.

He had started the last round two shots behind Ross Fisher and Thomas Pieters, but hit a fourth round seven-under par score of 65 for an overall score of 22under par, two shots clear of Fisher to see him lift the Falcon Trophy for the second year in a row.

Fleetwood’s back nine included a 25-feet putt on the par-3 15th for birdie and a 50-feet birdie putt on the 16th.

He completed his final nine holes in 30 shots, and sealed the title with a magnificent 40-yard chip shot onto the 18th green, before calmly holing from four feet for a closing birdie and successful title defence.

His form has also been praised by world number one Dustin Johnson and Rory McIlroy who were the 27-year-old’s playing partners for the first two rounds.

Fleetwood has now moved to 12th in the world rankings.

After he had won the title he was seen kissing his wife Clare Craig and he said: “I just really wanted to win this one.

“It’s a weird feeling coming

back to try and retain a trophy because it's yours and you don't want to give it away.

“I feel a lot more emotional, actually, than last year.

“I played with Dustin and Rory on Thursday and Friday, and I am never going to get a better three ball in my career.

“I felt that I played good golf all week, especially on the last day when I knew it was going to be tough.

“When I holed putts like I did on 15 and 16 I knew it was going to be my day.

“Then the 18th, the up-anddown was one of the best I ever made.

“I wanted to prepare for this year like I did not win the Race to Dubai. I did this as I wanted to come out still feeling hungry. My best golf is getting better and my worst golf is hopefully getting better as well.”

McIlroy finished tied for third place and congratulated Fleetwood and said: “This is an incredible win for him.

“To put that round of golf together out there, to shoot 65 in those conditions is seriously impressive. And six under on the back nine when he needed to? I thought the pins on the back nine were very tough.

“He is a great addition to the world of golf and the European tour and he will be a great addition to the Ryder Cup team in September.”

Jason Gilchrist celebrates his goal against Stockport County on Saturday. Picture by Julia Urwin.

Settled squad at last starts to pay dividends for Port Report by Jonathan O’Byrne Southport 3 Stockport County 1 THEY say football is a game of two halves and it was certainly at Southport on Saturday as the Yellows recorded their third win in four matches.

Kevin Davies is now able to field a settled side with Elliot Osbourne’s inclusion in place of Dion Charles who left the field injured the previous week was the only change to the previous team.

Stockport dominated the first half and took the lead when Jason Oswell found space in the box to nod down to Rhys Turner.

A succession of corners and throw-ins throughout the half for the away team was punctuated only by a rasping effort from Jason Gilchrist.

After a sub-par first half showing, it was role reversal in the second.

Jack Sampson’s effort ricocheted into the bottom corner of Hinchcliffe’s goal to level matters.

David Lynch then played in Jason Gilchrist and ‘Port’s number nine placed the ball perfectly in the bottom corner to give the Sandgrounders a lead.
