SPEED UP NEW ROAD SAFETY SCHEME, WARN CAMPAIGNERS

by Danielle Thompson

The Hurricanes

Hightown Hurricanes are brewing up a storm in world of women’s cricket Hightown St Mary’s Cricket Club has just staged its first women’s match creating a little piece of sporting history in Sefton.

The Hurricanes played their opening competitive match indoors last week against the Old Xaverians Cricket Club... and won by 54 runs.

The new women’s team is one of only a handful that offers women’s cricket in the Liverpool area, and is currently the only club in Sefton that provides for

both junior and adult female cricket.

Sara Begg, head coach of the Hurricanes said: “I am delighted to be involved with such a dedicated and enthusiastic squad, who put in a fantastic performance in their first ever match.

“Women's and girls’ cricket is now firmly established across the country and participation continues to grow.

CALLS are being made for Sefton Council to install a planned new pedestrian crossing in Formby ‘without delay’ after a fast food chain announced its new outlet will open in just a few weeks time.

Sefton Central MP Bill Esterson joined Ravenmeols Councillors Catie Page and Nina Killen, to lobby council officials for the road safety improvement after McDonald's applied for planning permission to open a restaurant on the site of the former MJ’s drive-thru on Altcar Road. The restaurant will open on April 17, but there is no fixed date yet for the installation of the crossing, according to the MP. Mr Esterson said: “I have asked the council to install the pedestrian crossing without delay. They have advised me that they are currently looking at

Calls for pedestrian crossing to be installed ‘without delay’ after McDonald’s announce fast food outlet will open as early as April

procurement options with a view to having the works completed as soon as possible. Some of the equipment at the junction is in need of replacement so they are determining the scope of works that are necessary.”

When the McDonald’s planning application was initially submitted, Mr Esterson and Cllrs Page and Killen wrote to Sefton Council’s chief planning officer to say that they were concerned about the increased number of pedestrians who would be using the junction on Altcar Road, across the bypass and between the Tesco petrol station and the McDon-

ald's site, particularly young people.

This was because there is currently just one light-controlled pedestrian crossing across the bypass and no light-controlled pedestrian crossing across Altcar Road on either side of the junction.

Alongside planning applications, the council can often negotiate what is called Section 106 agreements for improved infrastructure and although the authority had asked that McDonald’s contribute to the scheme, this was not possible as the planning application was classed for ‘very minor alterations (for) an existing and similar use’.

After the concerns were flagged up, planning officers also spoke to the owner of the land and ‘in combination with funding that Highways have already secured externally and earmarked from internal budgets, the landowner made up a significant shortfall’ for the pedestrian light crossing to be created.

A COURT has heard how a man assaulted two ambulance workers at Southport and Formby District Hospital when they tried to prevent him from leaving before receiving treatment.

Daniel Hampton, 40, of Honeysuckle Avenue, Banks, appeared by video link from HMP Preston at Sefton Magistrates Court on March 20, and pleaded guilty to two charges of assaulting an emergency worker.

Melanie Tomlinson, prosecuting, said that Hampton had been taken to the hospital on November 14 of last year due to ill

“The ambulance staff went up to him to ask him to stay. But they described how, all of a sudden, Hampton turned on them and started swinging punches.

“He did connect with one of the emergency workers to the left side of the head. No injuries were caused but he did feel shock and pain.

“A female colleague tried to intervene. She put up her hand

to protect herself and she received punches to the hands,” said Mrs Tomlinson.

She added that ambulance staff told Hampton they ‘are paramedics and do not expect to be treated like that and to be assaulted for no reason’.

The court was told that Hampton was in custody for another matter for which he is due to appear at Preston Crown Court on April 30.

District Judge Margaret McCormack said the crown court judge could deal with the two assaults and remanded him in custody until the Preston court hearing.

Quizzes to help raise funds for Freshfields Animal Rescue Centre TWO pub quizzes are being held next month to raise funds for Freshfields Animal Rescue Centre as part of its 40th anniversary celebrations.

They will be held at the Freshfields Pub on Massams Lane in Formby at 8pm on Friday, April 12 and Kokomo Wine Bar on Bold Street, Southport at 8pm on Wednesday, April 17.

Naomi Clarke, community fundraiser at Freshfields said: “As part of the year-long commemoration of our much-loved animal rescue shelter, we have teamed up with a Southport pub quiz host for a double header of trivia and game nights in April.

“We are hoping the quiz nights will raise much needed funds to help abandoned, abused and unwanted animals who have been rescued by the shelter.

“Everyone loves a good quiz and we’re inviting everyone to come down to either night to tickle your trivia tastebuds and be in with a chance of winning some great prizes!

“They should be fantastic evenings and we are formally laying down the challenge for you to pit your knowledge of pop culture, music and current affairs against some of the finest quiz brains in Sefton and it’s all for a great cause.

“At Freshfields Animal Rescue the need for our services never stops, and we simply would not have reached our 40th year without the fantastic support of our local communities across Sefton.

“Our quiz host, Ollie Cowan, has been a close friend of Freshfields for some time, and in the spirit of Sefton Council’s ‘Year of Friendship’, this is another brilliant way for us all to come together and change lives for the better.”

Ollie, who hosts Jolly Olly’s Quiz Night at Kokomo Wine Bar on Wednesday evenings, added: “The team at Freshfields Animal Rescue do some incredible and selfless work helping animals and I am delighted to be able to play a small part in helping celebrate their 40th birthday. We’ll have games, trivia, raffles and lots of prizes to give away!”

Hightown ‘leading the way’ for women’s cricket in Sefton

Guest speaker Alex Krol with Pride of Formby winners

‘Exceptional’ Pride of Formby winners praised at annual awards event THE ORGANISERS of the annual Pride of Formby awards have praised this year’s ‘exceptional’ winners for their ‘real determination and unbounded energy.’

The winners were announced at Formby Parish Council’s awards night held earlier this month at the Gild Hall. The awards were hosted by guest presenter Alex Krol, who was injured in a road traffic accident whilst on duty with the Royal Marines - injuries which resulted in the end of his military career.

Alex, who hails from Formby, sustained a spinal injury and is now a full-time wheelchair user. He competed in the 2016 and 2017 Invictus Games winning a gold medal for wheelchair tennis in Toronto, Canada, at the 2017 games. He said “I’d been playing sport for many years but not playing passionately enough. When the Invictus Games came along, it really fired me up to go out there and win.”

Alex also works for BLESMA - a help for heroes

AN anti-burglary initiative taking place across Merseyside has been hailed a 'huge success' by police one year after it was launched.

Operation Castle was started by Merseyside Police in response to community concerns around burglaries.

Since March 2018, the force has seen a 24% reduction in offences, an increase in intelligence resulting in over 1,300 people being arrested for burglary and convicted offenders receiving sentences totalling over 137 years.

The primary focus of the Operation Castle team, which is made up of officers and staff from different departments, is to reduce the number of burglary offences, raise community confidence and encourage reporting, whilst supporting existing local policing officers.

One example of a high-profile case was that of Dale Kelly, 24, and Lewis Callaghan, 21, who were jailed for a total of 10 years and eight months for two burglaries committed on June 5, 2018.

They were spotted by a member of the public acting suspiciously at an address in Freshfield and were detained by officers with a number of stolen items including watches, a camera and Xbox games, all of which were returned to their owners.

Head of local policing, Chief Superintendent Matt Boyle said: “Over a year ago, the public came to us, voicing their concerns about burglary and how being a victim can cause both emotional upset and

financial strain.

“With that in mind, we invested in the #OpCastle team who are there to support frontline officers and local policing teams in their fight against crime, in particular residential burglaries.

“One year on, we’ve seen a huge improvement in not only community confidence but also the number of offences successfully investigated and offenders brought to justice.

“Your home is your castle and we believe everyone has the right to feel safe and secure wherever they live or work.

“We’ll actively continue with the operation and hope to see more and more of these successes.

“Anyone who may have information on burglary is asked to contact our dedicated hotline on 0151 777 7926 or email operation.castle@merseyside.pnn. police.uk.

“You can also pass information to the social media desk @MerPolCC, call 101 or you can call the independent charity @CrimestoppersUK on 0800 555 111.”

Councillors call for review of park by-laws enforcement scheme

The Coastal Road diversion at Pinfold Lane in Ainsdale

Blocked pipe caused closure of Coastal Road A ‘BLOCKED pipe’ caused the closure of both sides of the Coastal Road on Thursday, March 21.

A spokesperson for Sefton Council told the Champion that the northbound carriageway of the Coastal Road was closed for three days, from Wednesday, March 20 to Friday, March 22 to facilitate the clearance of overgrown vegetation from the roadside.

Clear diversions were put in place via Liverpool Road and Pinfold Lane in Ainsdale to help reduce any delays.

However, during the second day of these works, contractors discovered a

blockage in a piped watercourse which involved a temporary emergency closure of the southbound carriageway to resolve the issue.

Additional diversions and signage were put in place during this time.

The spokesperson added: “All works have now been completed and the road fully reopened. We would like to remind residents that they can check any roadworks that may effect them, in real time, at roadworks.org.”

One Formby resident said: “It took me an hour and 20 minutes to get from Formby to Birkdale - a journey which usually takes around 15 minutes! It was absolute chaos.”

Author to hold children's talks A POET will be telling children's stories at three sessions in Formby next month.

Christine Gregory, who is also a writer of rhymes for greetings cards, told her own stories to her granddaughter about her teddy bear coming alive and having adventures, which grew into a

book and a sequel is due in the autumn.

She will be at the Café at Formby Pool from 9am-noon on Saturday, April 20 and at Formby Library at 11am on both Tuesday, April 23 and Saturday, April 27, to tell stories and sign books.

‘Heavy-handed officers could alienate majority of sensible dog owners who want to comply with rules, says Pugh

Report by Danielle Thompson SEFTON Council chiefs are being urged to clarify how by-laws are enforced in the borough’s parks following claims of increasing tension between dog owners and NSL enforcement officers.

NSL is contracted by the authority to enforce local by-laws but, according to some councillors, park signs warning of the rules are either ‘vandalised, removed or lack clarity’.

In October, a dog walker revealed that she was fined £75 after she let her 12year-old Jack Russell off the lead on a small patch of grass - known as St George’s Gardens - opposite Sainsburys on Lord Street. The surprised pet owner claimed that due to a lack of signs in the area, she was unaware of the rules.

Meanwhile, in January, council chiefs withdrew a £50 fine handed out to a Bootle pensioner who was walking her dog on a lead deemed to be ‘too long’.

Maureen Sanders, 80, was taking Soren, a rescue dog, around Bootle Cemetery.

But when she went to leave the cemetery she was stopped by two officers from NSL. They told the shocked woman, who has mobility issues, that the dog lead needed to be shorter than two metres and she was issued on the spot with a fixed penalty notice.

A sign outside the cemetery warns of the by-laws but only outlines that dogs should be kept on a ‘short lead’ and does not specify a length. The fine was later withdrawn.

Now Dukes Ward Councillor John Pugh, is calling for clarification of the rules. He said: “I chaired the meeting of the Southport Operational Group last week.

“Southport councillors meeting for the first time since the abolition of the Southport Area Committee heard of increasing tension between dog owners and the NSL enforcement officers contracted by Sefton to enforce by-laws in parks.

“In many places signage indicating dog

restricted areas has been removed or is unclear but still unwitting and law-abiding owners are being served with on-thespot fines.

“Heavy handed enforcement is in danger of alienating the majority of sensible dog owners who want to comply with the regulations. They are not able to do so though if notices in the park are vandalised, removed or lack clarity.

“In those circumstances a warning or advice to the well-intentioned owner will have the same effect as a fine but importantly will also preserve goodwill.

“Just as with parking enforcement the object has got to be the proper use of public space and not an exercise in funding the costs of enforcement through fines.

Fines have their place in the case of knowing and deliberate non-compliance but that’s not the situation when signage has vanished.”

Southport councillors asked for a review of the park enforcement scheme and sight of guidance issued to NSL enforcers.

Ainsdale Councillor Lynne Thompson,

who is also a dog owner, added: “This is not just isolated instances. A good scheme can go bad if it’s not implemented in the right spirit. It needs to be an effort in community responsibility, not seen as an opportunity for the council or its agents to fine the unwary.”

A spokesperson for Sefton Council responded: “We actively encourage good dog ownership and introduced a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) in 2017 to support this, following detailed and extensive consultation with the public.

“The order has been widely advertised in the local press, online and via the Local Authority's own social media channels, while thousands of signs have been placed in parks, cemeteries, coastal areas and along main roads throughout the borough.

“Traffic light style signage clearly details which areas are designated as either offlead, on-lead or no-dog zones.

“If in doubt of the rules, dog owners can easily check details of the PSPO online via sefton.gov.uk/gooddogcode.”

Mr Steer, said, “I am honoured, delighted and extremely proud to have been chosen as custodian of this ancient office for the forthcoming year.

“I am hoping to live up to the very high standards set by my predecessors.”

The key objectives of the role of High Sheriff - which dates

back more than 1,000 years includes ensuring the welfare of visiting High Court judges, supporting the Royal Family, judges, police and other law enforcement agencies, the emergency services, local authorities, church and faith groups.

It also involves supporting the Lord Lieutenant on Royal visits and - after the Lord Lieutenant, who has precedence to represent the Queen when visiting local groups and public services and to actively support charitable and other worthy institutions throughout the County.

Police cadets praised during awards event

Gardeners to feature on TV

VOLUNTEER police cadets with Merseyside Police have been congratulated at their passing out ceremony.

The force’s Chief Constable Andy Cooke attended an event at the Bridge Chapel Centre on Heath Road in Garston which saw 57 Cadets presented with certificates and awards.

He was joined by Deputy Chief Constable Serena Kennedy and the High Sheriff of Merseyside, Peter Woods, as well as a number of other senior police officers and more than 200 guests, including the families of the cadets, to hear accounts of the course from cadets, a photographic slideshow and the presentation of certificates to all cadets.

Merseyside’s former deputy police and

The High Sheriff of Merseyside, Peter Woods, together with police chiefs from the Merseyside force and former deputy police and crime commissioner Cllr Emily Spurrell joined 57 Cadets at their recent awards ceremony

crime commissioner Cllr Emily Sprurrell was among those presenting awards and was delighted to award Cadet Cody Shiers with the Cadet of the Year trophy.

She said: “This was a great opportunity to acknowledge and thank all the volunteer cadets for the time, effort and dedication they have shown by participating in this worthwhile scheme. They are a credit to themselves and their families.

“I congratulate all of them for completing this course and thank them for their fantastic contribution, giving their free time to represent Merseyside Police and already playing their part towards keeping

their neighbourhoods safe. Their dedication at such a young age is to be applauded. I hope that in return this programme has rewarded these cadets with valuable knowledge, skills and experience and an opportunity to make a difference in their communities.”

Merseyside Police’s Volunteer Cadet scheme provides an opportunity for young people aged 16 - 18 to get involved with Merseyside Police and learn more about the police service, with insights and visits to different departments, including the dogs and mounted, firearms, forensics and public order training.

GARDENERS from Southport will feature on national TV this week revealing just how they make their town bloom.

They will appear on tomorrow night's (Thursday) episode of the BBC Two series ‘Britain in Bloom’.

The series is currently airing on weekdays up until April 12 and will provide behind-the-scenes access to the Royal Horticultural Society ’s prestigious awards.

This year, the documentary is shining a spotlight on hard-working communities across the UK as they come together to take part in the celebrated annual floral competition, which is more than 50 years old.

Britain in Bloom is the largest community gardening campaign in the UK – with more than 300,000 volunteers donating 11.7 million hours of their time every year – to projects that benefit the wider community.

The Southport episode will air at 6.30pm and will show former flower trader, Chris Bavin, visiting Southport last summer to share his horticultural passion and expertise with the community as they prepare for the competition in an effort to win the coveted Gold award.

He said: “After budget cuts in 2008, the council could no longer afford to look after all the town’s green spaces so the gold-winning Southport Bloom team has slowly taken over more and more of the projects. This year, they have ambitious plans to keep their town on the map and to maintain their Gold award.

“Firstly, Rotten Row, the towns famous half a mile-long herbaceous border, needs to be crammed with thousands of flowers by a team of volunteers.

“Next, at the Botanic Gardens, a neglected heritage Fernery will be spectacularly brought back to life, with the aim of opening it permanently to the public.

“Finally, the local team will be blooming up Ainsdale High Street to make it feel welcoming for shoppers. But this year, the summer ’s extreme drought threatens to scupper all their plans.”

David Cobham, chairman of the Botanic Gardens Community Association said: “The Britain in Bloom competition helps us keep focussed year on year to maintain high standards for the public's free enjoyment and we are proud that the BBC has chosen to highlight our efforts.”

The former restaurant could reopen with part of the building becoming a boutique hotel.

SHOWROOM OPENING SOON 46 Brows Lane Formby L37 4ED

Plans on table to reopen restaurant with boutique hotel Report by Danielle Thompson A RESTAURANT in Southport which has been closed for several months could reopen with part of the building converted into a boutique hotel, if plans are approved.

A planning application has been submitted to Sefton Council to refurbish the former eaterie on Avondale Road and create a 13-room hotel.

The site was most recently the Pizzeria Positano Italian restaurant, and before that, was Ciccio's Mediterranean Restaurant.

The application has been made by Roberto Anelli and it states: “Originally a pair of Victorian Villas,

the properties were combined into one around 1995 to create a large restaurant at ground floor with ancillary use on part of the first floor.

“Currently the building in vacant and has fallen into disrepair.

“The scheme proposes to fully renovate the existing building to create a smaller restaurant and bar area along with a 13-bed boutique hotel bringing the whole building in to use.

“The proposal is to bring the whole building and outdoors spaces back to full use and secure the viability of the building for the future.

“As of the 2017 amendment the property is within the Promenade Conservation Area but is not individually listed.”

The consultation on the application ends on April 2.

CCG roll out the red carpet for borough care home residents Report by Danielle Thompson CARE home residents in Southport and Formby will benefit from an “innovative” new scheme following a successful pilot.

The ‘red bag’, was launched as a pilot scheme in June 2018 by NHS West Lancashire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG).

It aims to help support care home residents when admitted to hospital by putting all of their essential items including key paperwork, medication and personal items such as glasses, slippers and dentures into one handy red bag.

This is then handed to hospital crews by carers and travels with the patient in an ambulance where it is then handed to the doctor.

Upon discharge all of the patient’s items included their updated paperwork is then handed back to the ambulance crew and returned to their care home with them.

Following the success of the pilot at the Cleveland House Care Home in Banks, the red bag has now been rolled out successfully across all 30 care homes in West Lancashire and further afield across Sefton, and Southport and Formby.

Christine Stringfellow, director of clinical services at Cleveland House, said: “The introduction of the red bag has really proven popular amongst residents, their families and our care home staff.

“Prior to its introduction a resident could be required to go to hospital with several bags including medication, paperwork and essential items to make their stay comfortable.

“The introduction of the red bag has streamlined this process and means that everything a resident requires is placed in one handy bag and stays with them throughout the duration of their stay.

“This process has been welcomed by family members who would, prior to its introduction, be required to take multiple bags with them

when they escorted their loved one to hospital.

“This would add additional stress in an already difficult situation, but this has now been reduced as they now simply take one bag with them.”

The scheme is just one NHS initiative making care more proactive in care homes; through the Enhanced Health in Care Homes Vanguard, total bed days have dropped by 4.5% as opposed to an increase in areas The red bag to be used in the new without the scheme of 1.4%.

Lib Dems want Local Councils to introduce more charging points for electric vehicles

30% OFF ALL WARM ROOFS

CALLS are being made to Local Councils to increase the number of electric charging points they currently provide.

Sefton Council was one of hundreds of local authorities to be asked via an FOI (Freedom of Information) request from the Liberal Democrats to state how many electric vehicle charging points were planned to be installed in the borough. However, according to the Lib Dems, Sefton failed to respond.

The political party are keen to find out how councils up and down the country are gearing up for the expected surge in the use of electric vehicles, but claim Sefton Council failed to answer their question.

A total of 301 councils were asked if they planned to increase their number of charging points, according to the Lib Dems who were debating solutions to tackle growing transport emissions at their recent conference in York.

Of the 301 local councils that responded to the request, 107 do not have a plan to increase the number of charging points, while 122 local councils confirmed they have a formal plan, but only an additional 62 have taken steps to increase the number of EV charging points without a formal plan.

A spokesperson for Sefton Council said that there are already seven electric vehicle charging points across the borough

The council has since told the Champion that it has seven electric vehicle charging points across the borough. A spokesperson also stated that any planning application which involves the creation of vehicle parking will require the installation of electric vehicle charging points as standard.

“There are seven Electrical Vehicle (EV) Charging Points at council owned buildings across the borough and many others at third party sites, such as supermarkets and petrol stations.

“We also stipulate that any planning application which involves the

creation of vehicle parking will require the installation of EV Charging Points as standard.

“This is just a small part of our continuing commitment to making Sefton a clean, green and beautiful borough and we are working to reduce CO2 emissions and promote greener transport wherever possible.”

Neighbouring West Lancashire Borough Council has taken steps to increase the number of electric vehicle charging points it has, while Lancashire County Council also has a plan to increase the number of electric charging points it has.

Local school celebrates 20th Anniversary Dave Mitchell, commented “We have made lifelong friends at Southport International, Karen and I have travelled all over Europe to visit the home towns of many of our students and have even attended a few weddings!”

Last Saturday Southport International invited Host families and staff past and present to celebrate 20 years of bringing tens of thousands of students to Southport and dozens of their host families and teachers met at the Mezzanine cafe bar on Lord Street to help them celebrate this milestone.

Overseeing the celebrations were the three founding members, Dave Mitchell, Karen Mitchell & John ‘Griff ’ Griffiths.

They started the school in 1999 with 22 Spanish students.

They pride themselves on the strength of the team they have built up over the years. Griff, the Director of Studies, summed this up “You can tell from this wonderful turnout that everyone feels part of the team. They all care so much about the students. From the hosts and coordinators to the teachers and group leaders they’re fantastic!”

Many group leaders return each year and in fact the two group leaders that brought the first group in 1999 have returned every year since. Director,

The most important people in the team are the host families that the students stay with. The international students are placed with them for room and board, enjoying an immersive, family experience in the town; attending daily English lessons in local colleges and learning about British culture with their Host Families. Students regularly comment on the warm welcome they receive and often ask to return to their Host Families the next year.

One of the families who have been hosting almost from the beginning of the school had this to say about the experience, “We have been hosting students for 19 years! We really enjoy having the students, it is very rewarding, they are also good fun and are very friendly to have in your home. “Their

students arrive throughout the year and the hosts receive a hosting fee for each student they host, often two or three at a time. The Summer groups usually stay for two, three or four weeks, but the rest of the year groups stay for a few days at a time usually midweek so hosts have the weekends free.”

Host Family Coordinator, Jo Cowin, had this to say “Our hosts are fantastic and all ages and sizes. We have families with children, single parents, couples without children, and single people. Some of our most welcoming families are retired people and they form wonderful relationships with the students that stay with them. It is really rewarding experience for both the student and the host.”

Everyone at the celebration enjoyed swapping stories of their experiences and the last word went to Director, Karen Mitchell, “It’s been a great day and a wonderful 20 years, here’s to the next 20!”

Disabled pensioner angry at council for axing free bin bags Report by Danielle Thompson A DISABLED pensioner from Ainsdale has hit out at Sefton Council for stopping handing out free bin bags to residents to leave out their rubbish.

Free bin liners used to be provided to residents in certain areas of the borough when requested but council chiefs say they have now axed the service to cut costs due to government funding cuts.

The man who contacted the Champion has reduced mobility due to his disability and the bin bags meant he could take his rubbish out to the bin outside his home in smaller quantities, making it easier.

He said: “I have always been given free bin liners so I could take my rubbish out in small quantities, No more free bin liners will be available from the council more often, as it’s hard for me.

“They have always been available if you call cost them around £40,000 a year to run.

They said: “As a result of continued up and request them but last time I rang I was increased pressures on the council’s budget told this service has stopped.

“It's horrible, I'm on a pension and now I and reduced government funding, we can simply no longer afford to the deliver the free have to buy these too, I'm furious.”

A spokesperson from Sefton Council said bin bag service.

“The decision was made a few months ago that until recently the service was available to all residents living in large multi-occupancy and residents previously in receipt of the serresidential properties and all terraced proper- vice are asked to purchase their own bin bags ties in the south of the borough – and that it and liners moving forward.”

NHS under attack from new regulations Leave buses in private sector We should all be extremely concerned that on February 13, the government made secondary legislation that seeks to substantively change the regulations underpinning the existing contractual arrangements for provision of NHS GP services.

I know that in Skelmersdale, GP - and other NHS services - are struggling, but these changes are highly unlikely to improve the situation.

The Statutory Instrument is due to take effect on April 1. It would enable new Integrated Care Providers

(formerly called Accountable Care Organisations) to directly (privately) employ GPs, with the aim of delivering a whole range of hospital, primary care and community health services for a given area and its population in a way that would radically change patients’ (and GPs’) experience of the NHS. I believe it will mean less treatments unless one can pay and pave the way for charging for GP appointments and phone calls The Chair of the BMA has told GP members they ‘should not feel pres-

picture of the week picture of the week picture of the week

sured into entering an ICP contract as to do so could leave their patients worse off’. We must take this seriously.

Surely a substantive change to existing GP regulations should be subject to Parliamentary scrutiny. MPs’ scrutiny and open debate are essential for such huge changes to our GP services within the NHS. Please write to your MP. Our NHS is under attack and the current government is moving our NHS inch by inch towards the USA model.

Joseph Welsh, Skelmersdale

pic

of the week

Our Picture of the Week is this moody landscape taken on a cold and windy late Sunday afternoon with the ‘Iron Men’ peering out from Crosby beach towards the imposing wind turbines,

I note with interest the article headed ‘Unacceptable cuts to bus Services’.

MP Bill Esterson states that deregulation has been a disaster for passengers, especially on lesser used routes that are not profit making.

He goes on to say that he wants to see services that are based on need, and not profit. Could he explain how this is to be funded if it doesn’t cover costs and return a profit to invest in modern vehicles with WIFI and USB charging at every seat - which is now the minimum aspiration of the combined authorities Bus Alliance.

Profit is not a dirty word. It is a necessity for any bus operator to survive and invest in its assets and staff.

Mr Esterson quite rightly states that many elderly people rely on bus services to attend important appointments and to decease social isolation, but currently there is a national underfunding of the concessionary pass scheme - £650M in 2017/2018.

How can bus operators maintain services with such cuts and underfunding?

Could Mr Esterson explain how he

and his Labour colleagues would fund these ‘proper bus services for Sefton’ that he aspires to have?

Politicians look at the bus industry with rose tinted spectacles and would have you believe that everything was perfect prior to deregulation in 1986.

Far from it. Buses were dirty, old and the local ‘Corpy ’ bus company came within a whisker of losing its operators licence for poor maintenance. Is this really want we want to go back to?

You only need to look up the road to Halton Transport, which is owned and operated by the council, to see how a local authority-owned bus company can end up - not having made a profit for the last three financial years, a tired and underinvested fleet and now the threat of drivers being asked to take a pay cut for the operation to survive.

Leave bus ownership in the private sector, with people who know how to create and deliver a reliable, efficient, effective product with minimal cost to the tax payer.

Why are so many of our young people inconsiderate towards older folk?

captured by Steve Meehan, from Thornton. To submit a photograph for consideration in our ‘Picture of the Week’ slot, simply email it to: editorial@champnews.com

Please ensure your picture has a caption together with your name and the area you are from, and clearly mark your submission ‘Picture of the Week’.

We are a couple in our 70’s and have just returned from our annual winter break in Tenerife.

While there we get about using the local bus service which is excellent and cheap. Many buses are designed as high density (like some of our trains) with limited seating and plenty of standing room.

When the buses are full, which is often, it is a regular occurance for young Spanish people to give up their seats to older people and they do so without hesitation and has happened to us on many occasions.

Now, tell me, when did you last see this happen in this country?

No, not for a very long time.

In fact I’ve seen young mums with small children taking up seats while elderly or infirm, that is people with walking sticks, stand in the aisle next to them.

I’m not saying all young people are inconsiderate but I’m afraid many are.

We were brought up to consider older people but today that is not the case.

Sadly, it’s another example of the state of our communities today.

People don’t think or just don’t care about others. It is all very sad MH, Southport

Liz should rejoice at pension changes Market could learn from Heywood I write further to Liz Egerton’s letter - (Champion March 6 - ‘Join our wall of protest, ladies’.

The situation Liz is referring to is brought about due to the fact that we are all living longer – and women have a longer life expectancy than men.

Therefore the State Pension is in payment for longer, in most cases.

The main ‘problem’ apart from us all living longer is that as a country we cannot afford to bring the eligibility age for men down from 65 to age 60.

Therefore women had to be brought up from age 60 to 65. A classic case of beware what you wish for!

To be fair the government of the day might have simply drawn a line and said women aged 60 on this day will get one amount and those retiring the next day would get appreciably less. Instead, a gradual increase in eligible age was made month by month for those women born on or after April 6, 1950 but before April 6, 1955 rising from 60 to 65 between 2010 and 2018. The State Pension age for women born on or after April 6, 1955 but before April 6, 1959 is 65. State Pension age will increase for both men and women from age 65 to 68 between 2024 and 2046.

By November 2018 the retirement age is 65 for both sexes. State Pension age for both men and women will then increase to 66 by October 2020 and after that to at least 68.

The changes were further exacerbated by the government also putting through a Pensions Bill, outlining proposals to introduce a flat-rate, singletier State Pension.

In any system of change there would always be winners and losers but at least now people are receiving a more realistic level of minimum State Pension.

For some, such as women who took periods off

work to bring children up, or care for the elderly, the new minimum is much more than they would normally have been entitled to so there is an element of state benefit.

For others who have worked for 44 years - or now the reduced qualifying period, there is an element of loss.

The sticking point was the Treasury making the reform revenue-neutral. That means there had to be winners and losers. The winners are those who never earned enough to pay in to SERPS and the self-employed who largely didn’t bother. They get a big increase.

The losers in the longer term are young middleclass professionals who would have done better previously because the new system was initially capped at £155- per week. That has since risen in recent budgets.

The end of the contracting-out regime will perhaps see the closure of many defined benefits schemes to accrual! This just adds to other woes such as the fall in bond yields and recent equity market turmoil.

That is a ‘time bomb’ that will hit the country gradually as the young reach retirement age.

The main problem with UK pensions remains the damage done (mainly to occupational defined benefits schemes) by Gordon Brown who raided pensions to the tune of over £250bn. That led to the closure of most of those schemes leaving longserving employees with heavily reduced pension funds.

Liz Egerton should simply rejoice that she is young enough to be affected probably to her benefit by the relatively recent changes.

Southport

I recently visited a market in Heywood, Lancashire, similar in size and layout to Southport’s market.

It’s set in a small town so does not get a lot of visitors - mostly locals. Every stall is taken with long term traders and does extremely well.

Each trader gives you a raffle ticket when you shop with them and there is a draw every Friday when the winner gets £50 to spend in the market.

I spoke to one trader who has been there for more than thirty years and asked what it costs to have a stall on the market - £40

per week was the reply (including electricity).

I have been saying for years that the reason Southport Market is not successful is because the traders cannot afford the rents.

Follow example set by Scouts - and listen more As a proud Scout Ambassador I’m always looking for ways to help young people develop the skills they need to succeed.

One of the most essential of these is active listening. Today, according to new YouGov research, 86% of UK adults who had a view said we don’t listen to each other enough in UK society.

That needs to change.

In my profession, on the set of a Hollywood movie, if actors don’t listen to each other, the scene doesn’t work. The same applies in real life – it’s about taking the time

It’s good to listen - Warwick Davies with Scouts

to understand different points of view and showing respect. Good listening is vital at both home and at work. Some 94% of those with a view believe active listening is important in creating a productive work

environment.

The good news is that the Scouts are leading the way in this area.

Over 90% of UK adults say that the Scouts are helping young people to develop this important skill by working together with different

kinds of people in small teams.

When young people learn listening skills, it encourages them to develop empathy and understand more about the needs of others. So whether you’re an adult looking for a great volunteering opportunity this year, or a young person looking to develop your skills, then visit www.scouts.org.uk to find out how to get involved. Thanks to all our great Scout volunteers and thanks for listening, Warwick Davis Actor, Director and Scout Ambassador

Firefighters spread the word of Arson Awareness Week Report by Tom Martin MERSEYSIDE firefighters have been getting behind Arson Awareness Week by carrying out home safety checks and sending out information leaflets across Sefton.

A number of houses in the borough were visited by firefighters, who checked if smoke alarms were in order and distributed leaflets to give safety advice.

They were supported by Sefton Council and Merseyside Police during Arson Awareness Week, which was held between March

18-22. Merseyside Fire and Rescue revealed they have tackled nearly 20,500 deliberate fires during the past five years, and have described arson attacks as a “huge issue” for them.

Michael Buratti, Arson Reduction Manager for Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service, said: “The figures from the last five years show that arson is a huge issue for both local communities and our service, with sometimes deadly consequences for those affected.

“Arson Awareness Week saw organisations from across our county come together to raise awareness of the dangers of arson and the impact fires have on our communities.

“Arson is a serious criminal offence which

puts people’s lives at risk, causes damage to homes, businesses and community facilities and impacts on wildlife and the environment.

“It can range from mindless criminal damage to a deliberately-targeted attack but, either way, the potentially lethal results remain the same.

“If fire appliances are called out to deliberate fires this may delay the response to other emergencies, which could endanger lives elsewhere.

“We want to make people aware that deliberately setting fires in a public place is arson and, if caught, those responsible may face legal action.”

Success at the double for council-backed firms TWO firms which have both benefitted from a council scheme to help fledgling businesses, have been praised by the authority’s cabinet member for regeneration and skills.

InvestSefton - the council’s enterprise, business support and inward investment service - has helped both businesses through its ERDF Business Growth programme.

Cllr Marion Atkinson, along with staff from InvestSefton, paid a visit to the firms to see first hand how they are getting on.

First up was a visit to GlennRay House to meet co-directors Ray Warburton and Glenn Critchley, who revamped a Victorian property in Alexandra Road into a 7-

by Danielle Thompson bedroomed B&B. In its first year of trading, they have already received a Booking.com Gold Accommodation Award of 9.7 to 10, an Excellence Award from Trip Advisor and invitation and membership of Britain’s finest collection of luxury hotels and B&Bs. She then visited Adaptive Communications Solutions – an owner-managed Telecoms IT and web solutions provider business based in Hoghton Street.

The company was set up by managing director James Bray-

shaw in 2003 with the aim of creating a reliable telecoms company that focuses on building long term relationships with customers, offering a high-quality service. The company has grown with a loyal workforce of 25 people and have accrued a wide range of accreditations, qualifications and awards. InvestSefton has supported the business on its growth journey.

Cllr Atkinson said: “It was great to see two growing and successful ventures from two ends of the Southport business spectrum that support our own objectives for the local economy and both with a focus on customer quality.

“I am delighted InvestSefton has been able to lend its support.”

Former midwife calls on residents to have a say on NHS changes

By Danielle Thompson A FORMER midwife from Southport has spoken out to urge Sefton residents to have their say on NHS changes.

Anne Major, 63, who worked as a midwife and neonatal nurse for more than 30 years and whose husband has had a quadruple heart by-pass, believes that healthcare across the borough will only work if people make sure their voices are heard.

Now Anne, from Southport, is publicly backing the What Would You Do? campaign, led by independent health and social care champion Healthwatch Sefton, which appeals for views on how extra money from the government should be spent on local NHS services.

The government is investing £20 billion a year in the NHS as part of the NHS Long Term Plan.

Local organisations are now being asked to explore how services should change locally to make the NHS work better for people.

Anne, who is also Healthwatch Sefton locality representative for Central Southport, said: “When I have been at listening events at Southport and Formby hospital with Healthwatch Sefton we get

“Patients are the experts. Each and every one of them has a story to share – whether that’s good or bad. I would encourage others to take part in the campaign and make sure their voice is heard.”

Maureen Kelly, chair of Healthwatch Sefton, added: “The NHS only works when the voices of the people who use it are heard.

This is a once-in-a-generation chance for local people to help

decide where this extra money from Government should be spent in our NHS services in Sefton.

“We want to hear from as many people as possible about what works, what doesn’t and how they think local health services should be improved. No matter how big or small the issue, we want to hear about it. Sharing your experience with us is quick and easy - and could make a big difference.”

Southport Spring Flower Show to be held in Marble Place Report by Danielle Thompson

THE Southport Spring Flower Show has moved to a new location.

It is organised by the Southport Chrysanthemum and Gardening Society and is usually held at the Botanic Gardens, but this year it will be at the Marble Place Shopping Arcade on Chapel Street from 10am to 5pm on Saturday, April 6 and from 10am-4pm on Sunday, April 7. Admission is free.

Alan Foxall, one of the organisers, said: “The show has been a success from its beginning and this year looks likely to be another special one.

“It started as a one-day-only show and has gone from strength to strength ever since, and due to its outstanding success and demand from the public, the society decided to extend it to a two day show.

“This will be a comparatively rare opportunity to view so many different varieties of daffodils

The ST1 Scooter is the lightest in the ST range and has an ultra compact design and a top speed of 4mph which is ideal for nipping to the shops, or for putting in the carboot to take on day trips and holidays.

The ST1 Scooter splits easily for storage and transportation and has a maximum range of 6 miles on a full battery charge.

“There will be hundreds of exhibits on display, including hyacinths, tulips, primroses, alpines, orchids, cactus, foliage and flowering pot plants.

“The show includes the very popular Southport Daffodil Championship, and as well as attracting local exhibitors, it also attracts exhibitors from all over the North West to compete.

“A section for talented confectionery cooks is also included, with participants vying for the Freda Wall Trophy. Six classes give the cooks a fair choice with hot cross buns, apple cake, Florentines, Garibaldi biscuits, grapefruit marmalade and lemon curd. There will also be children's and adult's craft displays.

“Everyone who attends the show has a chance to win exciting prizes in the Grand Raffle Draw.

“Tickets will be on sale at the show and the draw will take place at 4.15pm on Sunday, after the trophy presentations.”

Motorists are warned to take notice of red X signs on m-way

MOTORISTS are warned by Highways England to take notice of ‘red Xs’ on electronic motorway signs.

Statistics show that around one in ten drivers in the region do not take notice when red Xs are used to close lanes, with many waiting until they reach an incident

or to provide a safe space for road workers.

Traffic officer Ben Cookson, 24, said: “My job is to keep the roads moving safely, so I’d urge any drivers who don’t take notice of red X signs to think about the impact it would have on their own and other people’s lives if

before changing lanes.

Red Xs are displayed on overhead signs to close lanes for several reasons, including an accident or breakdown, debris in the carriageway, or because of a person or animal on the road.

Lanes are also closed to help emergency services get through

they were involved in a collision.

“Red Xs are always displayed for a reason so it’s just not worth the risk of ignoring them.”

It is illegal to ignore a red X sign and the police could issue drivers with a £100 fine and three points if they are observed driving in a closed lane.

The future may be electronic but it’s some time off yet...

I SUPPOSE I must spend quite a long time each week waiting at bus stops and with nothing better to do with my time, I tend to spend it, believe it or not, thinking.

And just yesterday I got to thinking about babies and bathwater and Kings and their new clothes.

What started this off was my antipathy towards our rush to electrify everything in sight NOW with everything having to have software (whatever that is) before it attracts any interest at all.

In particular, two recent happenings brought this on.

First the recent tragedy with two Boeing 737s inexplicably falling from the skies.

Secondly the very late introduction of new ‘Azuma’ trains on the East Coast main line because their electronics interfered with signalling systems, and services on a commuter line in London having to be halved because its new trains simply don't work properly.

They apparently have had 30 software upgrades and yet still stubbornly won’t go. The King's new clothes? I rather think so if you still think this is 'just progress'.

Boeing too, having now grounded all the planes affected, are looking at problems with ‘software’.

In all this I am not a Luddite - back in the 1960s I remember writing a story for a local newspaper about the success of ‘the sparks effect’ when British Rail introduced their ‘ton-up’ electric expresses between Liverpool and London.

The difference was of course that they used tried and tested systems that worked straight out of the box.

And then, thinking of bus stops (well that is where I started) we have the rush to introduce allelectric buses.

Now mind, this is going ahead quite quickly in some parts of the country, despite the head people at both Stagecoach and First saying that at the moment it is economic madness and that the technology is not yet ready for everyday use.

I’m afraid I cannot remember exactly where this has happened, but somewhere in the continent of Europe a company running express coaches was persuaded that this too could become an all-electric success.

It hasn’t. Not because the vehicles don’t work but because they are slower in their journeys and have to wait far longer at each end to be recharged.

The really daft bit is that now the company has issued a new timetable for the service - one for journeys using conventional diesel coaches, and one for those with planet-saving electric ones.

Assuming you were using this as an express because you wanted to arrive quickly, which one would you plump for?

A case of babies and bath water perhaps?

I would certainly agree that the future is electric.

But this headlong rush to attain electronic Utopia is fraught with cost and problems - some unhappily apparently fatal.

And I think that perhaps we are deliberately overlooking for instance at the vast and rapid progress that has been made to clean up modern diesel units - so much so that vehicles so equipped can easily pass current pollution laws.

All I am asking is that we shouldn’t dash into

Support service set up to help residents bereaved by suicide SEFTON residents who have been affected by a friend or family member committing suicide can find support from a new service called The Barbara Bettle Foundation launched by charity Caring Connections.

The service is set up in memory of Knowsley resident Barbara Bettle, who lost her life to suicide in 2015. It provides fully funded counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy to adults who have lost someone through suicide.

Paul Growney CEO of Caring Connections said: “When someone dies through suicide its such a total shock and often has devastating effects on family, friends and community in general.

“The process of death with inquests, coroners courts, unanswered questions is a very difficult one for people to go through.”

There is no cost and individuals can self-refer.

things just because they are new.

Perhaps we could save the babies from going down the plughole and avoid the King being seen in the altogether (even if we choose to take a blind eye to his nakedness) if we made haste slowly.

I know this flies in the face of those who want to Save the Planet at almost any cost - but cost it is, usually in the form of the pound in your pocket or, for example, to unhappy commuters in London and passengers on East Coast express trains and, also, occasionally and tragically, at the cost of lives.

Staff and pupils at Norwood Primary School on Norwood Crescent signed up to Autism Initiatives’ challenge in order to be autism aware and get active.

Pupils will be walking a total of 10,000 extra steps in one week during World Autism Awareness month (April) which adds up to around five miles.

Autism Initiatives is a national charity which provides support for autistic people from supported living to schools, from a short break service to one stop shops, from work placements to training, clubs and activities.

The challenge aims to raise awareness and funds to support autistic people and their families and also aims to help the ‘indoor generation’ to spend less

A spokesperson from the school said: “At Norwood Primary School, we work closely with Autism Initiatives. Autism is much more common than many people think, so we are walking to raise awareness of this and to do what we can to make life better for people on the spectrum.

“Data from a recent study states staying inside for prolonged periods of time can negatively affect your mood and that just 10-15 minutes extra outside being active can improve the quality of your life.

Liverbird cruise Pride in Liverpool planning gets underway with dates confirmed set to return by popular demand

NATURE enthusiasts can enjoy a different view of Merseyside’s wildlife – from the comfort of a bird watching cruise ship!

Mersey Ferries has revealed plans to bring back its previously popular 'Liverbird' Bird Watching and Nature Discovery Cruise, which will set sail in May and October this year.

They will provide passengers with the chance to see a range of wildlife up close, with sightings of peregrine falcons, long-tailed skuas, osprey and Atlantic grey seals being reported by passengers on previous 'Liverbird' cruises.

Sailing across the river and going out into the Liverpool bay, the three hour cruises are ideal for families and both new and experienced bird watchers, as experts from RSPB will be on-hand to answer any questions and help with the spotting of wildlife.

Gary Evans from Mersey Ferries, said: “Working alongside the RSPB is a great selling point for these cruises, as their experts offer our passengers a huge amount of insight and expertise into the River Mersey’s array of wildlife.

“We were blown away by the response to last year’s nature cruise, so we know there’s a huge appetite for this type of day out within the North West. We’re expecting both of this year’s cruises to sell out, so would advise passengers to book their tickets early to avoid disappointment.”

Jayne Rigby from the RSPB in Merseyside, said: “The River Mersey is a wonderful destination for nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers, with the river banks being home to a wide variety of birds and mammals which we don’t necessarily get to see on a regular day.

“The unique cruises being offered by Mersey Ferries will provide a marvellous and rare opportunity to appreciate the wildlife of the Mersey Estuary. The whole family will be able to enjoy nature and the great outdoors, whilst also making the most of the experts on board, who can help with spotting rare animals and answer almost any question on Merseyside’s bird population .” ead your Champion online every week!

Bach Choir in concert Comedian starring in play SOUTHPORT Bach Choir will be in concert at Holy Trinity Church, Hoghton Street, Southport on Saturday, April 6 .

The main work, in the second half of the concert, will be the lovely Dvorak Mass in D with organ accompaniment played by Shaun Turnbull.

The first half of the concert will feature three a capella settings of the Latin text of the Stabat Mater.

The first by Franz Schubert and a

choir favourite; the second by Juan Guitierrez Padilla, a Spanish composer who moved to Mexico in 1620 to compose in the New World; thirdly the gorgeous setting for double choir

by Giovanni Palestrina.

As ever the choir will be led by their conductor Marc Murray who is the musical director at Bury Parish Church.

For tickets call 01704 540097 or 01704 535208.

about popular British actor MILES Jupp, one of Britain’s leading stand-up comedians and revered actors (Mock the Week, Balamory, The News Quiz, Rev, The Durrells), stars in The Life I Lead about British actor David Tomlinson in the Floral Hall Ballroom on the Waterfront.

Best remembered for playing Mr Banks in Disney’s classic film Mary Poppins and Professor Emelius Browne in Bedknobs and Broomsticks, David Tomlinson was renowned for playing the classic English gent: forthright, proper, and a loveable fool.

His meeting with Walt Disney came to encapsulate his incredible life full of adventure and heartbreak. The Life I Lead sees Miles Jupp bringing David Tomlinson’s remarkable story to life.

As a World War Two fighter pilot, his early life contained action and adventure; but he suffered huge heartbreak with the tragic death of his first wife, and his fight to have his

son Willie recognised as one of the first British cases of autism. The man who portrayed one of cinema’s most famous patriarchs was also defined by his relationship with his own father – a remote eccentric, who was hiding an extraordinary tragicomic secret.

The Life I Lead is a richly comic and moving tale of fathers and sons across the generations and fills in the blanks behind a very wellknown face.

Miles Jupp said: “I was attracted to this first because The Life I Lead is coming to Southport.

The cast of West Side Story

Theatre group marking its 40th birthday SONG is to celebrate its 40th birthday by putting on West Side Story.

This is a special milestone for Southport's award winning youth musical theatre group.

In 1979 Clive and Jean Morris, with the help of others with the same vision, formed a group for enthusiastic and talented young people, interested in musical theatre, as the junior section of the Southport Amateur Operatic Society (now Southport Spotlights).

SONG has recently received an Award for Best Youth Production for their production last year of All Shook Up at the NODA NW District 6 Awards Evening.

West Side Story, which takes to the stage at The Atkinson Southport from April 11 to 13 is SONG’s 40th birthday production and is its most ambitious show to date.

Karen Edge is the director and a previous member of SONG, who has directed many past SONG productions.

Choreographer Victoria Harrocks and musical director, Charles Moss, have also both worked with SONG in the past.

All three are well known to Southport audiences.

Tickets are available from the theatre on line @theatkinson.co.uk, or from the box office. 01704 533333 (Tickets £15 eve. £13 matinee).

For this special 40th celebration they are looking forward to welcoming back to Southport, and to the show, those who have been associated with SONG in the past, whether as cast members, committee, production teams or backstage crews.

If you have been connected with SONG in the past, contact Linda (SONG secretary) on 07720784757.

On 8th April EMU TV will be carrying out filming for a major production on Coastal Road, Ainsdale. The section of Coastal Road affected is between its junctions with Weld Road, Birkdale and Shore Road, Ainsdale. It will be required to close Coastal Road to facilitate filming in a safe environment. Coastal Road will be closed from 10.00 hours until 23.59 hours for the purposes of the filming.

Coastal Road is an important route for walkers and cyclists as it forms part of the Trans Pennine Trail.

DEAR SACRED HEART OF JESUS

In the past I have asked for many favours.

This time I ask for one special favour. (mention it) Take it dear heart of Jesus and place it within your own broken heart where your Father sees it. Then, in his merciful eyes, it will become your favour, not mine.

Southport PR8 6RZ I’M NOT sure if Gareth Cheeseman – the egocentric salesman character created by Steve Coogan years ago – reads The Champion, but he’ll be delighted by this week’s revelation if he does. The Ford Probe is a classic car.

Yes, the Ford Probe. Remember it? It was the Nineties’ belated follow-up to the Capri, but for all sorts of reasons it never really caught on in the same way that the automotive star of The Professionals did. After just three years and a little over 15,000 sales it was quietly dropped in the UK, making way for the Mondeo-based Cougar that arrived just a few months later. That was way back in 1997, but 22 years on the Probe seems to get an excitable flurry of likes and retweets every time it pops up online.

It many ways it was entirely the wrong car to follow up the Capri – it was front-wheel-drive, so any cheeky opportunities of getting the tail out on wet roundabouts were dashed from the off, and its TV appearances with the aforementioned Cheeseman on the excellent Coogan’s Run killed its street cred in an instant. It also arrived just as two-door coupés were all the rage, so it had a lot of competition; not just from obvious rivals like Vauxhall’s Calibra, but real eye-grabbers like the Alfa GTV and Fiat Coupé too.

But look at one now, when there are fewer than 500 left on the UK’s roads – making it a far rarer beast than the Capri – and with Nineties nostalgia all the rage, and there’s something really compelling about it. For starters, if you get the 24-valve version you have a silky, 2.5-litre V6 beneath the bonnet, delivering mid-range torque in a way that the turbocharged three-cylinder engines of today just can’t match. For me, the thing I love about the Probe is the way it looks, with those full-width rear lights and concept car profile. And pop-up headlights, of course. Any car with pop-up headlights is, I’ve always thought, automatically cool simply on account of having them. Why can’t we bring them back?

The Probe might have had a silly name, an unfortunate on-screen fan and the misfortune of following a motoring cult hero, but I reckon its time has finally come. I’m just glad that Instagram – rather than Gareth Cheeseman - seems to agree.

SPORT

Port set for another tough home fixture AFTER facing promotion chasing Bradford Park Avenue last weekend Southport will host another team who are contending for a play-off spot in Brackley on Saturday.

Brackley will be tough opposition as they are in fifth spot in the National League North table and enjoyed an impressive 3-1 win at home to Kidderminster Harriers last week.

Regan Ogle’s long throw eludes both Ryan Astles and the Bradford goalkeeper in lead up to the first goal.

Jason Gilchrist

Gilchrist set to depart PORT striker Jason Gilchrist looks set to leave the club.

The forward was signed from FC United of Manchester in November 2017 for an undisclosed fee and scored 15 league goals during an impressive first season.

But he has not been a regular in the starting line-up this season and scored only four

league goals in 29 matches.

Yellows manager Liam Watson has indicated that Gilchrist does not feature in his plans for the future.

While Port could command a high fee for the highly rated striker, it is understood there was a selling on clause built into the deal between which saw him move to Port from FC United.

Southport & Ainsdale stages curtain-raiser to the county season SOUTHPORT & Ainsdale hosted the opening fixture of the new golf season for Lancashire Union of Golf Club.

The historic course, which was a Ryder Cup venue back in 1933 and 1937 - staged the traditional curtain-raiser to the county season on Sunday, March 24.

A Rest of Lancashire team met the Southport District Golf Association over the famous old links which were established in 1906.

The James Braid designed course has seen a number of changes over the winter months with new dunes introduced on the first and 18th holes.

Lancashire will be the venue for the first big county junior event of the summer, with the Four

Counties Junior Tournament at Lancaster on April 9-11.

The Red Rose major championships see the county title fought out over the Formby links from May 31-June 2, the Seniors compete at Hutyon & Prescot on June 10-11 and the Boys’ event at Ashton Under Lyne on May 19.

Lancashire Seniors begin their season against Shropshire at Ashton & Lea on May 10 with the full county side teeing off against neighbours Cheshire at Wallasey two days later.

Ormskirk hosts the northern seniors qualifier in July while Liverpool course Lee Park will see the U16 and U14 titles decided in August before Hesketh stages the County Foursomes finale.

Port fight back to take share of spoils Report by Jonathan O’Byrne Southport 2 Bradford Park Avenue 2 SOUTHPORT fought from two goals behind to record a 2-2 draw against Bradford Park Avenue, an identical score to their encounter at Bradford in December.

Devarn Green and Jordan Richards earned recalls to the side with Jack Sampson out with a hamstring injury incurred at Leamington last week.

Southport had started the game the brighter of the two sides, but it was Avenue who were to open the scoring after a defensive calamity resulted in a messy and untidy own goal.

Dion Charles’ wizardry presented him with an ideal opportunity to atone for the error but his unwillingness to pull the trigger saw an excellent opportunity to level the score squandered.

One of the league’s most lethal strikers Jake Beesley, on loan from last season’s champions Salford City doubled the lead.

Another ball forward saw Matty Platt beaten to a header and with the defence all at sea Beesley was able to fire into a net only guarded by defender Ryan Astles.

Southport came out in the second half with greater intent, presumably a dressing down from their manager, ringing in their ears.

Dion Charles again had chances to reduce the arreas but fired high, wide and handsome.

Jason Gilchrist puts the rebound past the Bradford defenders.

Jordan Archer scored his second goal in three games minutes later, the forward lashing an effort into the top corner from range.

Southport introduced Morgan Homson Smith for Brad Bauress and transfer-listed record signing Jason Gilchrist entered the field after Devarn Green picked up an injury.

With the hosts turning the screw on their

tiring opponents, a customary long throw from Reagan Ogle took a ricochet off the advancing Jason Gilchrist at the far post to give Southport parity.

The Sandgrounders had the ascendency at last, Dion Charles was felled in the box late on but no penalty was awarded as Southport were unable to find the winning goal to cap an unlikely comeback against joint-third places Bradford.

ADVERTISING FEATURE

Terena is a lady of distinction!

Terena McCartan joined West Lancashire College 2 years ago after a health scare made her re-evaluate her life and led to her following her dreams.

After receiving a college Course Guide in the Champion, Terena decided it was time for her to do something she’d always wanted to do for herself and joined the Hairdressing Level 2 course in the evening. She is now in her second year and studying the Level 3 advanced course, and has received Distinctions in all her course units.

Terena said “I’d always wanted to do hairdressing and after a health issue I thought it would give it a go. I was nervous going back to college at first and thought it would be all younger students, however there were people of all ages on the course and the support and encouragement I received from the tutors was amazing.

I attend college two nights per week, and with a full time job it can be intense, but I love it! My Tutors Alison and Emma are fabulous, they always have time for me and if it wasn’t for their passion and showing me I can do it I couldn’t have achieved what I have so far.”

Terena added “In the future I would like to grow my clients as a mobile Hairdresser and I want to be that Hairdresser that people can trust and never want to leave!

I would recommend anyone to do the course, no matter what their age or previous experience. Joining the Hairdressing course at West Lancashire College has been a great decision for me and I look forward to my future.”

If you wish to be like Terena and start your career as a Hairdresser, West Lancashire College has a course for you. Whether you have just left school, or are an adult wishing to retrain, there are full and part-time study options available in the day or evening.
