FEARS RAISED OVER ‘CLOSURE’ OF CLINIC Care chiefs deny claims that Formby health centre will shut in summer

HEALTH care chiefs have been forced to reassure residents that they are not closing Formby Clinic after fears were raised it will shut in the summer.

Lancashire Care Foundation Trust acted after a caller to a BBC Merseyside radio phone-in flagged up concerns that the centre could be closed by June, leaving users having to travel to Ainsdale for treatment.

However, a spokesperson for the trust said a public consultation is currently under way - but only on whether services at the clinic currently fulfil patients’ needs.

The trust said: “We are not intending to close Formby Clinic. We are always keen to understand whether our services are meeting the needs of our patients and in order to do this, we have been engaging with patients in Formby to better understand their needs.”

Report by Danielle Thompson The trust took over the provision of community services in Southport and Formby after previous providers Liverpool Community Health were disbanded in 2016 following damning inspection reports.

South Sefton MP Bill Esterson expressed alarm at the news that services at health clinics are ‘under review’ telling the Champion that ‘any cuts in our NHS in Formby or Ainsdale would be bad news for patients.’

He added: “We have just come through a battle to save Hightown and Freshfield surgeries, which thanks to the hard work of campaigners in our community have been saved. Continued inside

Festival first for Hightown!

Hightown is to hold its very own festival... and the date for the inaugural event has been set for later this month!

It’s the first time the village has put on such a show and organisers say the staging of it will hopefully ‘bring the community together’.

The festival is part of a wider one-year lottery-funded project designed to encourage ‘community cohesion’ and increase ‘intergenerational activities and events’.

Hightown Parish Council and their partners, which include Sefton Council, Live Parks Love Parks and the Hightown Club, are behind the two-day event, which will feature a wide range of family-friendly activities, on Saturday, April 21 and Sunday, April 22.

The festival will begin at St. Stephen’s Church Hall from 10am to 1pm with hot breakfast barms and drinks, storytelling sessions for children, a soft play area and a ‘Historic Hightown’ photo exhibition which will then be displayed across all main venues on both days.

There will also be archery taster sessions at the playground on Thornbeck Avenue with members of the High Elm Archers at 10am, while from 1pm to 11pm at the Hightown Hotel pub there will be fairground rides and attractions, an outdoor bar and hog roast, live entertainment and evening kids disco and family bingo. A balloon artist will be appearing from 1pm- 3pm.

Plans underway to repair Diana memorial fountain PLANS are in the pipeline to repair the Princess Diana Gardens water feature on Lord Street.

The fountain was damaged by a lorry delivering the town’s Christmas tree and there have been calls to reinstate it to its former glory.

One campaigner, Dukes Ward Councillor David Barton welcomed the news. He said: “I sought the support of Sefton Tourism Department

Apartments plan will help revitalise the town centre PART of the building that houses a Turkish Restaurant in Southport could be turned into nine new one-bed and two-bed apartments.

A planning application has been submitted to change the use of part of the first and second floors of the Coronation Walk building into five apartments as well as dormer extensions and alterations to the roof, including raising the height, to create a further four apartments.

As the neglected building had already begun to fail in areas including the roof, threatening the future of the business below and current use of the first floor for accommodation, remedial works had to be started prior to the application being granted.

The design and access statement submitted with the application, which describes the build-

ing as having a ‘strong art-deco style typical of the 1920-30s’ states that “whilst the application site forms only part of the building; it is prudent to note that the entire building has fallen into a considerable state of disrepair, with a significant section being unoccupied for years and left to weather the elements, vandalism and anti-social behaviour.

“Through years of neglect and degradation, the building began to fail in a significant number of places.

“The application will help to support the proposed redevelopment and refurbishment of the Lord Street Conservation Area by encouraging people to live in the town centre, revitalising the local economy and serve as an example to other property owners.”

Cassie’s ‘evil killer’ jailed for 26 years

Travel agent’s murder was a ‘cold blooded execution’ THE “evil” killer who carried out the coldblooded execution of a Southport travel agent in front of customers and colleagues has been jailed for life and been told he may never be released.

On Monday, April 9, a judge told Andrew Burke, who slit the throat of 28-year-old Cassie Hayes in a planned revenge attack blaming her for the break-down of his former relationship, that he must serve at least 26 years behind bars.

“This was a cowardly act of revenge designed to kill and you did kill a totally innocent person in broad daylight in front of and witnessed by so many,” said Judge David Aubrey, QC. “You perpetrated a cold-blooded execution in public for the purpose of revenge and in my judgement the killing was an act of unspeakable savagery,” he said.

The young mum-of-one died almost instantly after Burke attacked her on Saturday, January 13 this year just after 1pm after walking into Tui travel agents in Chapel Street, Southport, where she worked as assistant manager.

Burke walked to the back of the shop with his hood up, to the currency exchange, and Cassie, who was on the phone assisting a couple and their 16-year-old daughter, appeared concerned.

He told the currency cashier, “I just want to apologise for what I am about to do.”

Liverpool Crown Court heard that he was fixated and obsessed with Cassie as she was in a relationship with Burke’s former partner, Laura Williams, mother of his youngest child. He had harassed them both and had previously threatened to kill Cassie and been warned by police about future contact with her.

Burke - who was on bail after being convicted just the day before for harassing Laura - walked up behind Cassie and placed his arms around her head.

“He lifted her head, exposing her neck with his left arm and then ran his right hand across her

Fears are raised over the future of Formby clinic From page 1 “Any threat to treatment centres will add to pressure on GPs. “When Lancashire Care took over, they said they wanted to provide services in a more seamless way and close to people’s homes, but any cuts in services at Formby will be the opposite of that.”

He claimed: “The fact that they are carrying out a review shows that there is a doubt over the future of the clinics.

“If patients have to travel to Ainsdale it will cause real problems for many older and disabled people

and will add significantly to the inconvenience. Four miles may not seem like much to some people but to others it will be unthinkable.

“Any cuts at Formby would of course also add to the pressure at Ainsdale as well as on Formby GPs. “If there really are no plans to move the Formby treatment room, why carry out a review?

“Sadly, patients have heard reassurances about ‘no plans at present’ before. There were no plans to close Hightown or Freshfield surgeries. Then suddenly Hightown was going to close. It took a

concerted community effort to save the GP surgery and I would urge all patients in Formby and across Southport to lobby the NHS to make sure that the clinics are retained.

“Cuts to health and especially to social care budgets have piled on the pressure. Sadly, the crisis in our NHS means that all services are vulnerable to the kind of review that Lancashire Care NHS Trust has announced and this community must again work hard to defend our health services just as we have done to save Hightown and Freshfield GP surgeries in recent weeks and months.”

Driving at 20mph in residential areas reduces cyclist casualty rates.

There are lots of reasons for sticking to the 20mph speed limit.

Preventing an accident is just one of them.

Drive smarter. Drive 20

more. I’ll turn left and go home or turn right, go to Wilkinsons, buy the biggest knife I can find, go to Southport and slit Cassie’s throat.”

She thought it was an idle threat having heard such threats before and told him to go home and grow up and they argued before she hung up on him.

Burke, of Vincent Street, St Helens, pleaded guilty to murder and possessing an offensive weapon.

Judge Aubrey told shaven-haired Burke: “You had intended to kill her and you did precisely that with one swift, decisive, ruthless action destroying an innocent life. Her smile and her life and her sense of humour gone forever and you have in the process changed the lives of so many for ever and traumatised so many others.”

Hightown Festival to celebrate village successes of past year From page 1 Blundellsands Sailing Club is holding a ticketonly, live music event on Saturday April 21 from 7.30pm which will include a Sinatra-style singer, buffet and late disco.

On Sunday, April 22, the festival continues with a Songs of Praise service at St. Stephen’s Church at 10.30am.

From noon, Hightown Club are holding free taster sessions from noon in cricket, squash, bowls, tennis and tag rugby. There will also be a climbing wall, beat the goalie games, inflatable football pitch for under-fives, expert advice on nutrition and personal fitness, yoga demonstration and tasters sessions, ballroom dancing trial sessions, an outdoor bouncy castle, Sea Cadets marching band and licensed bar and food.

From 6pm there will be a joint service at Our Lady of Victories. Our Lady’s and St. Stephen’s will be celebrating the life of St. George and ‘Englishness’.

Andy Farquhar, project and festival coordinator, told the Champion: “The festival is another great example of what small communities can achieve by working together.

“The festival is part of a wider project that is all about encouraging community cohesion, working across our age groups, and reducing isolation for

“We've brought together all key groups and clubs/societies across the village to work with the Parish Council to put this weekend event together, and although it’s mainly for our own residents we are also inviting any members of the public to attend.

“It’s a free entry with many activities either free to take part in or only attracting a nominal charge, made possible by virtue of lottery funding. “ We are raising money for charities that our various partner clubs/groups support, and aiming to set up a small legacy fund to help us establish the festival as an annual event.

“In light of our recent victories to avoid the large mobile phone mast O2 and Vodafone wanted to erect, and our fresh victory to retain a GP surgery in the village, we have a lot to celebrate, and for many of our residents who have fought both campaigns over many, many months this will be a great opportunity for them, their families and friends to pause and celebrate together.”

throat. It was immediately apparent that there was a substantial amount of blood flowing and that Cassie Hayes’ had had her throat cut,” said Gordon Cole, QC, prosecuting.

While the shocked customer Cassie had been serving, and another customer tried to help her, she quickly became unresponsive. Meanwhile Burke was at the back of the shop saying that nobody deserved to see what had happened.

“The defendant made remarks to the effect that Cassie Hayes had what he did coming to her for what she had done to his family.”

Another customer had her children, aged nine and 12, with her and after they fled someone told Burke, “You’re sick, there are children in here” and he said he had not realised and was sorry.

“After his ruthless and chilling murder the defendant seemed to remain calm. He showed no emotion and remained seated saying things like he will take his punishment.”

When firearms officers arrived Burke, now 31, said, “I was in court yesterday and I lost. It was either kill me or kill her, so I killed her. The only reason I wasn’t still cutting her when you turned up was cos you’d shoot me and I didn’t want to put you through that.” He made no comment when interviewed but his sister Sarah told of his continuing fixation with Laura and Cassie and blamed Cassie for ruining his relationship and threatened to slit her throat and kill her. He had been arrested for such comments to his sister and mum in January 2017 and his sister eventually lost patience with him and had little to do with him but did speak to him the day before the killing as she knew he had been in court.

He told her, “I Cassie Hayes can’t do it any

VOLUNTEERS at the Friends of Rotten Row community group have slammed mindless vandals who targeted a free car show in Southport.

David Rimmer, one of the Friends of Rotten Row, contacted the Champion after hundreds of motor enthusiasts flocked to the Supercars of the Northwest 2018 Show in Southport at Victoria Park on Rotten Row on Sunday, March 25. He was angry at the way yobs had daubed on fencing around the site and had damaged grassed areas by doing wheelies.

He said: “The car festival was really busy, with people attending from all over the North West. But as usual, the behaviour of a minority had to ruin it for everyone else. “Some hooligans performed ‘wheelies’ on the grass and have ruined it, with really deep score marks. They made a real mess. “There was also graffiti daubed on panels. “We are furious and disappointed that anyone would do this and undermine the fantastic work that we do on Rotten Row.�

Mum, 46, wins bronze in Boat builder sails to award win - and thanks Champion Madrid 800 metre race

A BOAT builder from Formby has fought off competition from around the world to win a special award for his latest design.

Former St Peter's Junior School and Formby Secondary Modern School pupil David Moss, won the Traditional New Build Award in the 2018 Classic Boat magazine competition for his latest design, Polly – which took him five years to build.

After he won the award on a public vote – and also the distinction of being the mostvoted-for boat overall - David thanked Champion readers for all of their help.

The 70 year old, who grew up spending hours and hours in Formby Library reading books on boat building and once tested out a raft on the Formby shoreline, said: “I am so excited to have won the Traditional New Build Award and received the trophy last week at the Royal Thames Yacht club in Knightsbridge in London. I'd love to thank all of

the Champion readers who voted, it was very much appreciated.”

At 16, David left home to serve a five-year apprenticeship in the craft of wooden boatbuilding in a boatyard in North Wales. After gaining valuable experience in other boatyards around the UK, he set up his own business in 1974 in old farm buildings near Garstang before moving to self-built workshops on the banks of the River Wyre near the port of Fleetwood.

As well as building traditional all-wooden boats, he concentrates on teaching apprentices all the skills necessary to build and repair boats, including woodwork, painting, ropework and launching.

A spokesperson for the Classic Boat Awards said: “Clearly, Polly ticks a lot of boxes. She stormed to victory in her category and also earns the distinction of being this year’s most voted-for boat overall.”

Rotary club members set to put residents under pressure!

HEALTH conscious members of Formby Rotary Club are urging residents to have their blood pressure checked - to help prevent a stroke.

The group will hold their annual blood pressure checking drop-in session in Formby Village at the Chapel Lane Surgery from 9.15am on Saturday, April 14.

Jan Owen from the Rotary Club said: “Three qualified nurses will be on duty to do this simple test.

“High blood pressure is the biggest risk factor for having a stroke. Having your blood pressure checked regularly is one easy and important way to reduce this risk.

“The national campaign has proven to be extremely successful over past years with many people being checked and sent on for further help.

“The Rotary Club hope local people will stop by on the day and

Formby Rotary Club will hold another annual blood pressure checking drop-in session on Saturday, April 14

have their blood pressure checked. No appointment is necessary and it only takes a few minutes but could save your life!

“Last year one gentleman was found to have such a high reading that he was advised to go straight to A&E for further treatment.

“The club would like to thank Chapel Lane Surgery for their

support of this event.

“In addition, on the day the club will be collecting unwanted spectacles and cases to present to Eye Aid for Africa.

“Each year the spectacles are taken to Ghana for adults and children who have sight problems and cannot afford the glasses to solve the problem. Your contribution to this worthy cause would be gratefully accepted.”

Driver was on wrong side of road A motorist was found to be drink driving when she was spotted on the wrong side of the road by an off-duty policeman.

When Abigail Taylor, 22, of Fylde Road, Southport, appeared at Sefton Magistrates, the court was told a police officer was on his way to work at 5.50am on March 11 driving along Marine Drive, when he saw a Vauxhall Meriva driven by Taylor com-

ing towards him in the wrong lane.

Prosecutor Daryl Pollard said: “Despite the complainant flashing his headlights and sounding his horn the defendant continued on the wrong side of the road and the driver had to swerve out of the way.

“Unfortunately, there was a collision and she subsequently stopped.”

The court heard she

was found to have been driving with 70 micrograms of alcohol in 100ml of breath (the legal limit is 35mcg/100ml). Her solicitor Neil Davies said the collision referred to wing mirrors ‘clipping.’

Mr Davies said that his client had been drinking with friends the previous evening and had parked her car with the intention of taking a taxi home.

“During the course of the evening unfortunately the defendant took the decision to drive the car home,” he said.

The magistrates fined her £150, ordered that she pay £115 in costs and victim surcharge, and banned her from driving for 18 months.

Magistrates told her she could have seriously injured the other driver.

Special care unit opens... for hedgehogs!

Visit us @ www.ChampNews.com ● 9

Silver & Rose Opticians Aintree Races won’t be complete without investing in a smart new pair of sunglasses

Report by Danielle Thompson A SPECIALIST care unit has been built for some of an animal sanctuary’s favourite little creatures... hedgehogs!

The team at Woodlands Animal Centre on Sandy Lane in Holmeswood say the new facility will help stricken hogs get fighting fit for when they are released back into the wild.

Hedgehogs need to reach a ‘perfect’ weight of at least 1lb 10oz, up to a maximum of 2llbs, to give them the best possible chance of surviving in the wild. The new pre-release unit will house hedgehogs that have been moved on from the rehabilitation unit after reaching their ideal weight, until the weather permits and a soft release site is found. The team have looked after more than 100 hedgehogs over the winter.

Sally McDerby from Woodlands said: “We are happy for hogs to be released when they reach a weight of at least 1llb 10oz. This is so that they are large enough to survive in the wild, but are still fit and healthy enough for life in the big wide world.

“Much like us, if hogs are significantly over weight, they too can encounter difficulties with everyday life activities. Therefore, hogs who have been really tucking into their food over winter may be put onto a restricted diet to control their weight prior to release!

“As with a lot of things in Britain, their release depends on the weather! The team will wait until the weather improves sufficiently so the chance of frost is virtually zero before release.”

If a member of the public, who has a suitable soft

Woodlands staff and volunteers in the new hedgehog unit

site, takes on a hedgehog, they are asked to keep it in a low-level hutch for two weeks with food and water but no handling at all to allow it to get used to its new environment.

After this, the hutch door can then be left open, with a sturdy ramp, with food and water provided.

Once the hog has stopped using the hutch, it can be removed, but one of Woodlands’ conditions is that you agree to provide suitable food and water for the hog 365 days a year.

If you think you may be able to offer a hog a home, email the team on info@animalsanctuary.org.uk or call 01704 823293.

All change at the Albert as workmen move into pub THE same company that plans to transform the former Sandgrounder pub on Lord Street has now taken on a new challenge – the Albert Hotel on London Street.

The Burning Night Group revealed at the end of last year that the Sandgrounder would shut to be given a £1million renovation to become the Potting Shed bar and gardens on the ground floor and Fire Pit Smokehouse and Sports Bar on the upper

level with a new outdoor terrace.

Now the Burning Night Group's new brand, Authentic Alehouses, which refurbishes freehold pubs, has taken on the Albert Hotel, with plans for a new makeover.

It will be renamed The Southport Tavern.

The Authentic Alehouses website already shows the food they will offer, which includes beef bourguignon and bangers and mash and advertises that they will be showing live sport and live music every weekend.

The Albert Hotel will become the Southport Tavern

“Retro Bingo with a Twist is a fancy dress retro games event, where everyone will be transported back in time by fancy dressing as their retro selves or taking inspira-

tion from their favourite decade.

“The event comes with some absolutely fabulous retro hamper prizes and main prizes. With games of crazy bingo and ice breaker games, plus a chance to get a snap of yourself on a retro sweets background, boredom will not be on the cards.

“Music from the 70’s to current chart hits will have everyone dancing on the ceiling. This is a one-ofa-kind event in Southport, I cannot wait to see everyone’s choice of fancy dressing!!

Long serving social care manager retires after more than four decades in role THE longest-serving employee at a Sefton adult social care provider has retired from her role after 42 years.

Staff and service users said farewell to Julia Abram from High Park, who retired from New Directions this week.

Her involvement with what was then Sefton Council’s Adult Care Department began as a teenage volunteer, before she was appointed as a part-time Care Assistant at Brookdale Residential Home in Ainsdale in 1976.

During the next four decades she was promoted regularly, eventually becoming a member of the New Directions senior management team, most recently as policy development manager.

Along the way, she managed a number of care services, helped the organisation to obtain Investors in People status and played a key role in quality and compliance issues.

Julia said that although she is sad to be leaving after such a long career, she is looking forward to spending more time with her husband Brian, family and friends.

She is also planning to become a ‘lady who lunches’, and to rekindle her love of singing by joining a choir in Southport.

Julia said: “During my time at New Directions I’ve met and worked with some amazing people among the staff, the ser-

Julia Abrams and her mum, Kath, are pictured (front) at the celebration event with colleagues and friends who wished her a fond farewell after 42 years’ service with New Directions

vice users and their families. I will really miss seeing them regularly, but I do plan to keep in touch with as many as I can.

“I’ve always found the organisation to be very supportive especially when I was ill a few years ago - and I would like to pay tribute to all our staff who do such a great job of caring for some of the most vulnerable members of the community.”

Her colleagues and friends gathered for a farewell celebration at the New Directions Chase

Heys service in Southport.

Managing director, Bob McDonald, said: “Julia has done a fantastic job for New Directions over more than 40 years, and has been a tremendous ambassador for the care profession throughout her career.

“It’s the end of an era for the organisation, but as Julia leaves New Directions she can look back with pride on her numerous achievements.

“We wish her a long, happy and healthy retirement.”

DOG walkers are being urged to be extra-careful with their pets when they take them to local beaches after more dangerous palm oil washed up along Sefton’s coastline.

The toxic substance, which is potentially deadly to dogs, was spotted on beaches along the North West coastline including Crosby beach over the Easter holiday weekend.

Palm oil is found in chunks as large as boulders and is not fatal for humans but its high toxin levels have damaging effects and if animals lick it or eat it, can lead to vomiting and diarrhoea and potentially death.

The poisonous substance is thought to be leaking from a sunken ship - a Maltese 1,800-ton vessel called Kimya, which capsized around 16 miles south west of Holyhead en route to Birkenhead in 1991, killing 10 of its crew, after becoming caught in 50ft waves.

Rangers from Sefton Council’s Coast and Countryside team removed four bags of palm oil from Crosby beach last Wednesday, April 4, following inspections.

No traces of debris have yet been found in Ainsdale or Southport.

A spokesman for the Sefton Coast Landscape Partnership said: “Palm oil debris is harmless to humans, but it can be fatal to dogs if eaten.

“Unfortunately dogs are attracted to the smell of the stuff, so pet owners are advised to remain vigilant if walking your dog on the coast.

“Pet owners should keep their dogs under close control on the beach, particularly along the tideline, although the material can appear elsewhere on the beach after a high tide.”

Warning signs are on display throughout the Sefton Coast and anyone who discovers palm oil is encouraged to call 0151 934 2967 and report it.

Four in a row for Peterhouse!

Top Ofsted rating again for specialist school

A SPECIALIST school in Southport has been given the highest possible rating by Ofsted – for the fourth time in a row!

Peterhouse Specialist School and College on Preston New Road, which is part of the charity Autism Initiatives, has been judged to be Outstanding once more.

The school first opened in 1974 and it offers day and residential provision for children and young people aged five to 19 who have a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Condition. Autism Initiatives aims to support people with autism to lead positive, meaningful and enjoyable lives.

Ofsted inspectors visited the school in February this year and gave a glowing report about the care and education on offer to pupils, all of whom are on the autistic spectrum. The school, say inspectors, has ‘demonstrated consistently high standards and commitment to continuous improvement at this centre of excellence for children and young people with autism.’

The report states: “Peterhouse is a warm, wel-

Staff go the extra mile every lesson, every day to make sure pupils achieve their potential. Parents are unanimous in their support for your ‘amazing school’. You and your staff put pupils’ best interests at the heart of every decision.”

Janet Allan, headteacher at Peterhouse School, said: “We are delighted with this report. It is testament to the fantastic teamwork and dedication of all the staff at Peterhouse. I would also like to thank the students, parents, carers and external professionals for all their hard work and continued support of the school.”

Iain goes in search of big ideas for book on politics

By Danielle Thompson

A SEFTON Councillor is one of four co-authors who has released a new book which explores the state of politics in Britain.

Birkdale Lib Dem Councillor Iain Brodie-Browne was one of the contributors to a book called ‘Four Go In Search of Big Ideas’.

The other contributors are Helen Flynn, chair of the Social Liberal Forum; Gordon Lishman, a British social and elder rights activist and Liberal politician and social empowerment campaigner Ekta Prakash.

There are also contributions in the book from transport minister Vince Cable; Norman Warner, Minister of Health in the last Labour Government and Ed Davey, former Secretary of State for the Environment and Climate change.

Iain said: “We are angry and frustrated about the state of politics in Britain, it is too short term, too tribal and fails to face up to some of the big challenges that confront our nation and our planet.

“I was pleased to contribute an essay and to be one of the four who attempt to look at some of those issues.

“We approached people from across the progressive political spectrum to contribute. We got an

‘So’ is so very annoying! Wrong to criticise MP Train changes are another nail in town’s coffin I have to agree with One Man & His Dog, (Champion Volume 25/Issue 13) in regards to the annoying trend of the use of the word ‘so’ being used at the beginning of almost every sentence.

It really grinds my teeth!

There is no good reason to use the word ‘so’ to begin every reply. If used in context, the word is very appropriate.

However, it seems that almost every sentence voiced on TV these days

begins with that word and I do seem to find myself shouting at the TV, (or at least thinking), that the word is unnecessary. It is becoming unnecessary beyond annoying. It is time to highlight and stop the overuse of this word!

Well done to OMAHD for highlighting this issue.

Allyson Drury. (by email)

Gone to the dogs!

What on earth has happened to Ainsdale beach?

On a recent Sunday I took my little granddaughter along to the beach to show her the place where I had taken her Mum (my daughter) and spent many happy hours.

What a shock.

All I could see were dogs run-

ning around, not on leads.

I could not let go of her hand for fear of one of these dogs knocking her over.

I do not think these dogs should have practically the whole of the beach to run wild.

Mrs Jefferson, Liverpool

I really must object to the complaint from Les Jackson concerning Southport MP, Damien Moore.

From what I have seen he has been doing a great deal within many local organisations and charities.

I have consulted with Mr Moore concerning my own medical problem and he has certainly made enquiries about this with the NHS to the extent that I hope to be receiving alternative and long required treatment very soon.

I realise that Mr Jackson, like myself, has no particular political agenda in mind but, unlike him, I appreciate that it is in the best interests of Mr Moore to promote himself as much as possible for his chosen political party and all of the subjects Mr Jackson mentions will be addressed over time.

One of his current concerns appears to be corruption in postal voting, which, according to the many alleged cases we often see in

the newspapers, has escalated due, it would seem, to its extended availability. Personally I have no doubts at all that some illegalities actually take place in every constituency in the UK and that the availability to vote in this manner should be severely restricted to those who would be unable to vote any other way, naturally excluding those who are simply too lazy to walk to the polling station.

Above all, no representative of any political party should ever be permitted to handle any postal votes, sealed or not, and no single person should be allowed to act as a witness on more than a single postal vote.

Without honesty and sincerity in politics, when the only concerns of MP’s and Councillors are their own financial benefit and glory, then every other matter is tainted.

John Lee Southport

PICTURE of the week

Regarding your recent report on the lack of trains to Manchester Piccadilly, this decision makes no sense.

The Southport to Piccadilly train is always busy when it reaches Piccadilly (even outside of peak time).

With the new system, peak services may be dangerously overcrowded with passengers who shouldn't have to be forced to change trains/get a shuttle from Victoria at other times of the day. A number of passengers will have luggage with them on the journey to the airport. It will be a nightmare.

New direct services from Southport to Blackburn and Leeds are great for those who want them, but surely many more use the Southport to Piccadilly and Southport to Manchester Airport line?

Piccadilly is Manchester’s centre and the station has many links to other places.

I moved to Southport years ago, during which time the town seems to have declined considerably.

If this train change goes ahead, it could be another nail in Southport's coffin.

Helen, Birkdale

Disappointed to see sharp metal spikes left in dunes I was disappointed to see sharp metals in the sand dunes where children, animals and even adults could harm themselves, whilst out walking my dog.

During the dune ‘repairs’ workmen have obviously failed to make safe harmful metals sticking out the sand dunes. My own dog almost tore open her stomach running among them.

I think it’s very sad to repair dunes apparently for wildlife and such, but yet ignore the fact somebody may seriously injure themselves on the metal that appears to have been left behind.

I tried to make them as safe as possible by bending the sharp protruding parts inwards to try and at least stop some injury, but nonetheless it’s extremely disappointing that this has been ignored and discarded.

Well done to ‘Let’s Create’ The Champion’s Danielle Thompson wrote an interesting article on creative painting workshops.

The ‘Let’s Create’ project has organised creative and therapeutic workshops to help improve mental wellbeing. The Let’s Create team are promoting recycling unwanted furniture and providing a stress free environment for children, so needed in our throw-away, stressful world where PC tablets and X Boxes etc have replaced normal childhood outdoor activities and book reading. Congratulations to the Let’s Create Team.

Red card for flooding at ground With all the talk about Southport FC and how well the club is, how come we can’t put on a game when it rains?

In the past, we never had a game postponed by rain – so why now? The sandy soil always drained away, so what have they done to the playing area? In my back garden, it rained for four days recently and it was dry within two hours.

We only have flooding on clay or heavy ground so have they altered the surface? Answers on a red card please!

Bev Gregory, Southport

No such thing as a liberal brexit I would like to reply to the letter about Brexit from David Green in the Champion.

First of all, us Remainers do very much accept the referendum result - no one is denying that a slim majority of voters chose to leave the EU in the referendum. On this there is no doubt.

However, I am baffled with Mr Green’s point that a referendum result should be treated the same as a general election. When the public vote in an election, they know that in 4-5 years time they will be able to change their mind if the government they voted for doesn’t work out as well as they thought.

Also, opposition parties continue to campaign after the election to try to force another election at the earli-

est opportunity and this is considered to be part and parcel of a healthy democracy. There are simply no parallels between an election and the EU referendum - the prospect of saying we could change our minds in 30 years time is simply not good enough if, in the meantime, we have to endure depressed growth and prospects as a result.

Surely if the deal (or none) negotiated by the government provides UK citizens with fewer rights and a weaker economy, surely this would be grounds for a second vote to ratify the deal as the Brexit campaign explicitly stated nothing would change on trade and we would easily get a deal?

Also, there is no such thing

as a liberal Brexit. Any Brexit will lead to loosening our economic ties with not only Europe but also the 60+ countries that the EU have preferential trade agreements with.

The end of free movement for UK citizens will mean fewer freedoms and opportunities for everyone, particularly the young whose views have been completely ignored during this process, as well as crippling skills shortages in our economy again quite the opposite of liberalism.

If the will of the people is to be adhered to, surely it’s time a second vote to ratify the deal is put to the people before we leave the EU? Callum Clark A liberal remainer.

Well done council for street light reporting system

The Champion has informed readers of changes to the maintenance of Southport’s street lights by the removal of the Sefton staff system of detecting faults and relying on the public to report faults.

Whilst it is reassuring for the Sefton spokesperson to tell us that emergency and urgent faults will receive attention within two hours of a fault being reported, the current fault fixing period is not stated.

The council’s web site advises that the normal five day response is currently set back to a 28 day response, and could be longer if the problem is a mains supply issue involving the electricity supplier.

However, the council is to be congratulated on the upgraded on-line reporting system. Whilst the site acknowledges that the system is still being trialled, the fact that you can now see when faults have already been reported and track the status of the report is to be welcomed.

I would encourage members of the public to use the on-line reporting system to ensure that we can maintain a safe environment during the hours of darkness and make the cost saving measure successful.

I suggest that people search for www.sefton.gov.uk [the council home page] which contains the link, to report a broken street light .

LETTERS to the Editor Town strewn with rubbish Is anyone out there going to listen about the demise of Southport - once a beautiful place to visit but now so rubbish-strewn.

I visited (yesterday) and parked on the road in Stanley Street between Nevill Street and Bold Street.

What a disgrace!

The road is strewn with rubbish, and then I walked into the alleyway onto Lord Street which had so many overflowing black bin bags and household waste it was unbelievable.

A gate to a property was broken showing a back yard so full of rubbish that it would be impossible to walk in there.

Does anyone care what happens to this once beautiful town, or are we going to let it rot?

Name, address supplied (by email)

Agree with the need for more bungalows I write in support of ‘Bungalows fan, Southport’ who highlights the need for more of this type of housing in the area.

The obvious fact that this country has an ageing population makes it imperative that provision for their needs is made now. It means so much to people who are able to live out their last years with dignity in accommodation such as bungalows, where they can cope for themselves (or with a carer’s help) as long as possible.

I have daily experience of seeing what a difference it makes to the lives of people with disabilities and to their carers, so we need more bungalow-type accommodation I agree wholeheartedly that more of them need to be built in our borough.

Cable’s comments were sharp but true Some people’s reactions to Vince Cable’s comments on the way age was reflected in the voting at the referendum, show they cannot accept statistics that are a simple matter of fact – that 64% of those over 65 voted Leave (and 60% of those between 50 and 64) and 71% of those under 25 voted Remain (and 54% of those aged 24 – 49) Does that mean that the old are wiser than the young or mean that the youngsters of today are showing a great deal more tolerance, interest and desire to relate to our European neighbours – and, indeed, to ‘foreigners’, here and

overseas - than was possible when I was young when some of us were very prejudiced?

Vince’s comments were sharp but true concerning the temptations of nostalgia for the days when “Passports were blue, and faces were white and the maps were imperial pink”.

This is not hate speech but just stating a fact! It was the votes of the oldies that “crushed the hopes and aspirations of the young.

The attitude of younger people today bodes well for peace and prosperity in the future.

Angela Robinson Southport

Appalling remarks, Vince VINCE Cable's appalling remarks about old, white Brexiteers brought the words ‘hate speech’ to my mind.

Sadly his words reflect so well the attitude of Lib Dems and other Remainers towards Brexiteers.

Our senior citizens who voted to Leave, did so envisaging a better future outside the EU and not for those grubby reasons suggested by Mr Cable.

How would it be if the Lib Dem leader’s words sparked a revival of the UKIP vote at election time with Brexiteers expressing their disgust at his remarks.

Unintended consequences Mr Cable – but consequences nevertheless.

You don’t need a badge to let people know who you are BRIGHTON and Hove Council have apparently given all their staff so-called ‘Gender ID’ badges with the intention of showing anyone who wishes to talk to them whether they prefer to be called ‘he’, ‘she’ or ‘their ’ - and no, I haven’t the foggiest what ‘their ’ is supposed to represent either!

Worry not though. If you don’t fancy being a ‘their ’, where the badges say ‘My Pronouns Are...’ you can fill in one which better describes what or who you are.

Apparently these ‘right-on’ councillors thought this such a wizard idea that they have decided it should be extended to the local populace generally. If you live in Brighton or Hove, you too can join in as part of the council’s #MyPronounsAre campaign.

You might be forgiven for thinking that any local authority, plagued by savage budget cuts, might rather keep its parks, libraries or children’s services up and running than to introduce crackpot schemes designed to conquer problems that wouldn’t exist if we hadn’t been told they do - but no.

One Tessa Marshall (whether he, she, their or other I don’t know) the University of Brighton’s Equalities Engagement Adviser (the university too seems awash with spare cash) is quoted as saying: “Not making assumptions and taking the opportunity to find out how someone should be addressed benefits us all and is integral to supporting and respecting our students, colleagues and visitors.�

I don’t know about you, but when I meet someone I don’t usually worry about whether they are a ‘she’ or a ‘their ’, but I’m reasonably sure that I have rarely, if ever, given offence by asking a woman if she prefers her first name, Miss, Mrs or Ms, to be used. But I fear at least one Brighton councillor would probably have me hung, drawn and quartered for such an act of disrespect.

Councillor Emma Daniel (again she doesn’t appear to have filled in the three boxes) reckons we all define our own gender and should respect other folks’ identities and rights. And I’d go along with that, until she continues: “Who a person is may not be defined easily. If someone's pronouns differ from what you assume, it’s for you to adapt and it’s OK to ask, read the badge, respect people, it’s that easy.�

What my pronouns are is my business, and as long as you stick to society’s norms I’ll be quite happy. Certainly more so than Brighton and Hove’s gobbledegook - and even more so than the system apparently adopted by the HSBC bank.

They have introduced 10 ‘gender neutral’ titles for trans and non-binary customers (how do they know?) allowing them to choose between Mx. Ind, M, Mre, Msr, Myr, Pr, Sai, Ser or Misc.

I’d choose alright - I’d choose to move my account to another bank or the Bank of Toytown for that matter!

What gender any person chooses to be is entirely their business and I respect their wishes. But for the sake of sanity, does it really matter if the totally made-up titles such as Mre, Pr or Ser are used? I don’t know how to pronounce most of them, let alone have any conception as to their meaning.

Until a very few years ago we all got along reasonably well with Mr, Miss or Mrs, and Ms was a reasonable addition to the fold. It totally defeats me why anyone should actually want to point out their differences.

Two of the best friends I have had in my life were gay but they did not, for instance, wander into a strange pub and announce to the world at large their sexual preferences. Not because they were ashamed, but because they really did simply fit into society by being who they were.

And that, possibly is the real trick. Know exactly who you are and without badges or loud hailers, get on with life.

Campaign aims to help kick out high sugar drinks and junk food SEFTON’S Director for Public Health has backed a campaign to kick high sugar drinks and junk food into touch.

Matthew Ashton, Director of Public Health for Knowsley and Sefton Councils, is one of 58 health experts who has supported a campaign to protect children from food and drinks that are high in fat, sugar and salt, promoted through football across the UK. The campaign is led by Healthy Stadia and Sugar Smart and aims to tackle the issue of childhood obesity as well as tooth decay.

Many football associations, leagues and some football clubs partner with companies known for products containing high fat, sugar and salt, so health experts have now joined forces to help address this important issue.

Other supporters to the campaign include representatives working in sports development, dental health, sustainability, social housing and the media.

All 58 experts signed a letter which was sent last week to English football clubs, UK National Football Associations, UK league operators and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.

Lives of nine World War One heroines are revealed in history project Report by Tom Martin

THE lives of nine local women from Sefton who have been described as heroines of World War One will be explored as part of a history project.

Sefton’s Library Service are appealing for anyone with information on the nine “brave ladies” to come forward as they are in the middle of putting together a Beyond The War Memorials Project.

The information found on the women will be used to create an online biography so more people can read about their heroics.

Andrew Farthing, Sefton Council’s Libraries Development Manager, said: “There are a number of women listed on Sefton’s civic war memorials but very little is known about them.

“We want to highlight these brave ladies who gave their lives during World War One for the freedom from oppression that we enjoy today.

“Throughout the Beyond The War Memorials project we’ve been compiling information and photos on our heroes and heroines but we need the public’s help in delving deeper into their background.

Information and particularly photographs of these women have proved difficult to locate.

“The information will go towards creating a massive online biography for most, if not all, the heroic Sefton residents who are listed on our Civic War Memorials.”

Two of the nine war heroines are from Southport.

Munitions worker Mary Jane Gartside-Tipping joined the Women’s Emergency Canteens Service in 1917 and served on the Western Front.

Four months into her service she was shot in the head and killed by a deranged French soldier. She was posthumously awarded the Croix De Guerre and buried with full military honours.

Sister Janet Lois Griffiths volunteered for active service at the outbreak of the war and served in Alexandria, Egypt. She narrowly avoided being killed when a medical lorry she was travelling in collided with a train. Sadly during the rescue operation to save her fellow nurses, Janet was killed.

Soccer boss opens new store SOUTHPORT Football Club’s manager, Kevin Davies, was on hand to cut the ribbon on a new supermarket in Churchtown.

Stem Cell Scousers founder Kevin Dunne at the Tesco Kew bucket collection

Stem Cell Scousers fundraise for World Blood Cancer Day THE Stem Cell Scousers have been holding fundraisers across Sefton to mark World Blood Cancer Day. Kevin Dunne founded the organisation after his wife received a transplant from an anonymous donor after developing leukaemia four years ago, while just months later Kevin’s brother was diagnosed with a rare blood disorder and he was able to donate his own stem cells to save his life.

The group held a bucket collection in Tesco at Kew in Southport as well as a donor drive and

bucket collection at Tesco in Formby to celebrate the run-up to World Blood Cancer Day on May 28.

Meanwhile, Sefton Central MP Bill Esterson joined the stem cell donor register at the Formby session in a bid to raise awareness of the group and is encouraging other MPs to sign up too.

He met up with Kevin to learn first-hand about stem cell donation and how it can transform – and save - patients’ lives. For more information visit dkms.org.uk or call Kevin on 07837732215.

Dan’s the man for Scotland as he wins two bronze medals

{

SEFTON-based Dan Purvis has won two bronze medals in the Commonwealth Games.

Taking place in Australia's Coomera Indoor Sports Centre, Thursday, April 5 marked the first day of gymnastics competition, with the men’s team final and individual qualification taking place across the day.

Dan, aged 27, is Scotland’s captain and he helped his country earn a bronze in the men's gymnastics team final after they finished behind Canada in second and first placed England.

The bronze medal comes four years after the 2014 Commonwealth Games, held in Glasgow, when Scotland earned an historic silver medal.

Dan said: “We started off with one or two hiccups but I'm just fantastically proud of everyone, how we fought and how much we had to come back. “It was hard to come back on that podium from Glasgow with a different team but we've done it and it's fantastic.�

Dan won bronze on the floor

Dan, who is from Crosby and trains in Southport, failed to land his vault and although he delivered a great floor performance, it was not enough to seal qualification for the allround final.

Dan posted an image of the Scottish team and their medals to his Twitter followers after the event. He said: “Amazing feeling to stand beside these lads on the podium to receive the team bronze. Great to see all our hard work paid off and so proud of each of these guys.

Absolute legends. Thanks for everyone’s support here and back home. It means a lot.�

On Sunday, April 8, Dan won another bronze medal, this time on the floor in the individual competition.

Dan said: “Really happy to win the bronze medal on the floor. So proud to see the Scottish flag up there again.�

Although born in Crosby, Dan qualifies to represent Scotland in Commonwealth Games because his mother, Denise, is from Dundee.

Young golfers put through their paces at Hesketh THE most promising - and youngest - golfers in Lancashire paired up with some of the county’s most experienced players to launch the new junior season at Hesketh Golf Club.

Lancashire’s under-16s enjoyed a warm-up match with the Red Rose Seniors and each

of the under-16 players partnered a senior in a Four Ball Better Ball match over 18 holes.

Lancashire Under-16 squad manager Michael Carney said: “Some great golf was played to a high standard, which is encouraging news for the season ahead.

“We were hoping the Under-

16s would learn from their senior partners about shot making, course management, and match play tactics, for example. From the feedback received from the Under-16s we are pleased this was achieved.

We also believe the seniors learned a thing or two and not just about golf!

Flower show springs into action... at last!

AFTER some unseasonably bad weather caused Southport Spring Flower Show to be postponed for the first in its history, the event will finally get off the ground on Saturday.

The show, organised by Southport Chrysanthemum and Gardening Society, was put back to April 14/15 from its original date of March 24/25.

It will be held at the Botanic Gardens Banqueting Hall in Churchtown, starting at 1 o’clock, and from 10am to 4pm on Sunday, April 15.

One of the organisers, Linda Humphries said: “Once again we welcome in a riot of colourful, seasonal blooms at the Spring Flower Show.

“The event will be a comparatively rare opportunity to view so many different varieties of daffodils together, most of which will be labelled so you can take notes for your own garden.

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

“The show includes the very popular Southport Daffodil Championship which, as well as local exhibitors, it also attracts exhibitors from all over the North West, so please do come along and enjoy the wonderful sights of Spring in all its glory.

“The organisers warmly welcome anyone who thinks they may have a really good specimen in their garden to come and exhibit it – you may even win a trophy – you never know until you try!

“Due to the success of last year’s show we have decided to keep the new category we introduced for the spring shows – a handled basket of spring flowers with any foliage.

“We have also decided to keep the special craft classes - a bowl or dish of floating flower heads; a decorated tiara; a handmade greetings card and photographs.

The Floral Art section looks to be a big attraction. With the National Provincial Trophy at stake, this section attracts flower arrangers from the complete novice to the highly competent. Six classes give cooks a fair choice with categories ranging from Easter biscuits to onion chutney.

“There will be non-stop music from 1pm to 4pm on both days, giving the opportunity for local music groups to showcase themselves and if they wish collect for charity. On Saturday these will include the St Helens Accordion Group, CD Music Academy, Adult Pop Rock Choir, while on Sunday, performers wll include Tony Huber Jazz Singer, The New Dawn Singers and the Fishermans Friends Jazz Group.

Police chief wants more support for vulnerable adults Report by Tom Martin MERSEYSIDE'S Police Commissioner has called for an urgent change in law to guarantee specialist support for vulnerable adults held in custody.

At present, officers are required by ‘code of practice’ to contact an appropriate adult as soon as practicable when they suspect that a person they have detained or wish to interview is either under 18 or may have mental health issues.

However, there is no statutory responsibility for ensuring this service for vulnerable adults, and Merseyside’s Police Commissioner, Jane Kennedy, wants a change in law to make this service a legal requirement.

She said: “It is a mark of our civilisation that we give our most vulnerable people proper protection in detention, making sure they have the right help and support that they, and the authorities need.

“People who have learning disabilities, are experiencing mental health problems or are particularly vulnerable should not be detained longer than is absolutely necessary.

“Despite this being a national

Police Commissioner, Jane Kennedy

requirement, the government currently expects ‘ appropriate adult’ services to be funded through local collaborative arrangements, but in the face of austerity and with no single agency holding legal responsibility, that is simply not realistic.

“Public sector organisations are already struggling to deliver the services that they do have a statutory responsibility to deliver, let alone stepping up to deliver the ones they are not legally required to provide.

“The sad truth is that this is leaving vulnerable adults detained in custody for far longer than they should be, and

in some cases individuals are being bailed without a proper case conclusion. This not only has a detrimental impact upon them, it is also hindering the criminal justice process and having a negative impact upon victims of crime.”

A report released in 2015 by the National Appropriate Adult Network (NAAN), entitled ‘There to Help’ and based on police data, showed up to 235,000 police detentions and interviews of mentally vulnerable adults were being conducted without an appropriate adult each year. Researchers were unable to identify an organised appropriate adult schemes in approximately 50% of local authority areas of England and Wales.

NAAN’s Chief Executive Chris Bath said: “AAs (appropriate adults) for vulnerable adults have been a supposedly mandatory safeguard in the justice system for over 30 years, yet nobody is responsible for ensuring their provision.

“Both police and suspects deserve to know that an effective AA service will be available when needed. We would like to see the same clarity, consistency and accountability for provision for vulnerable adults as there is for children.”

Supporting Young Carers in Sefton Sefton Carers Centre have launched a new young carers service to support children and young people under the age of 18 who provide care for another person.

There are currently more than 1,900 young carers living in Sefton and the young carer’s team will work with schools, families and professionals in Sefton to help identify young carers and provide support.

Abby Ready, 15, a pupil at Streatham Schools in Crosby, cares for her younger sister and recently led an assembly talking about the issues that she and other young carers face.

Abby said: “I didn’t know I was ready to be a carer, I didn’t realise I was even a carer for my sister. It is so rewarding, I love my role.”

Streatham Schools offers a supportive and inclusive environment for young people to feel confident to talk about any issues they might have and are working hard to identify and support young carers.

Vicky Higgins, the Young Carers Lead at Streatham Schools, said: “It wasn’t until Abby conducted her school assembly that I realised how many young people are affected by caring responsibilities at home.

“Through her bravery we are now able to support other children who might be affected with similar issues. I am so proud of a pupil speaking out to help others, Abby is an inspiration.”

Sefton Young Carers Service provides carers and schools with access to personalised co-ordinated care and support, as well as health and wellbeing services which will help young people to achieve their full potential.

The service also organises regular activity groups in Crosby and Southport where young carers can come together, share experiences and have fun.

John Hill, Head of Project Development at Sefton Carers Centre, said: “The key principle underpinning this service is that children and young people should not undertake inappropriate or excessive caring roles that have a negative impact upon their development.

“We are looking forward to working with all schools in Sefton to make a real difference to young carers and their families.”

Listening Ear Volunteers Help Hundreds of Carers Listening Ear is a free telephone service run by Sefton Carers Centre for unpaid carers in Sefton who would like to have a regular chat with a friendly listener.

The service is staffed entirely by volunteers and in the last year the team made more than 2,500 support calls to carers.

Caring can often be a full time role and for some people who use the service the Listening Ear volunteers are the only people that they speak to, apart from the person they are caring for.

Brian McKee, who has volunteered with the Listening Ear service for the past 5 years, said: “A lot of carers who I speak to have become like old family friends, we have good conversations, people can offload any worries or anything about their caring role and hopefully we make a difference.”

Volunteer hours now total over 900 a month and there are currently more volunteers than paid staff working at the centre.

Louise Stewart, Volunteer Co-ordinator at Sefton Carers Centre, said: “A lot of our volunteers are carers or those who have previously been in a caring role so they can easily relate and signpost carers to the support and services that they need.

“The centre wouldn’t be able to offer such a wide range of services without the help and support of all of our volunteers.”

Other services at the centre co-ordinated and staffed by volunteers include holistic therapies, counselling, training and social groups, as well as a new Sitting Service for carers who need to take a break from their caring role.

Annette Rymer, Volunteer Administrator, said: “I came to volunteer as I wanted to help others but didn’t have

New headquarters for M’side Police moves step closer Report by Tom Martin PLANS to build a new £45million police headquarters for Merseyside Police have taken a step closer after a planning application was given the green light by Liverpool City Council.

At a Planning Committee meeting on Tuesday, April 3, a proposal to construct a new HQ for Merseyside Police in Everton was approved by the local authority, paving the way for work to begin at the Scotland Road site.

The building will be four-storeys and big enough to house 850 officers, with hopes it can be opened in May 2020.

The new headquarters will replace the current home of Merseyside Police, in the city centre's Canning Street.

The move to Everton will help the force save £15.5m overall, compared to the cost of keeping

Canning Place, which was built in 1977 and is in “urgent need of essential repairs.”

Included within the proposals are a number of social value targets, including 600 weeks’ work for apprentices and student workshops for nearly 700 people.

The development site, largely owned by Liverpool City Council, is bound by Scotland Road, St Anne Street and the approach road to the Queensway tunnel.

Also included within the plans is a multi-storey car park with a total of 578 spaces to ensure there is no impact on the access or parking needs of nearby residents and businesses.

Leonard McNamara (left) with staff and residents who are mounting a campaign to replace their minibus at Thomas Henshaw Court care home.

Care home residents in appeal for minibus RESIDENTS at a care home in Southport are appealing for help to reach their £16,000 target to buy a new disability-accessible minibus to take them on day trips!

The residents at Thomas Henshaw Court Care Home on Lulworth Road have already reached £10,000 themselves, which they raised through coffee morning events and fundraisers at the home after realising that their old minibus was on its last legs.

Resident Leonard McNamara, who was a Flight Lieutenant in the RAF during the Second World War, explained that the residents started fundraising last year when they were told that their current minibus is very unlikely to pass its MOT. He said: “We would really love it if some kindhearted local businesses or fundraisers could help us to reach our target for the new minibus, it would mean a lot to us.

“Some of the residents are disabled and use wheelchairs so we are looking at getting a new one which is more disabled user-friendly to take us on days out across the North West.

“We would also value any ideas or suggestions for fundraising ideas. If anyone can help us, we would really appreciate it if you could get in touch.”

To help the residents with their fundraiser, call the home on 0800 085 4227.

Acting ‘first rate’ in show Review by Ron Ellis BE My Baby by Amanda Whittington SDC at The Little Theatre, Southport

A scene from The Story of Guitar Heroes

Guitar legends celebrated THE Story of Guitar Heroes is due to be performed at Southport Theatre on Thursday, April 26 at 7.30pm.

Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Hank Marvin, Brian May and Slash are just some of the outstanding guitar heroes people will have a chance to experience in one show.

This live concert style ‘rockumentry’ is performed by a talented musician Phil Walker, and his band.

With over 20 guitars used on stage, the show accurately recreates the sound and ambiance of each guitar hero starting from the 1950s to the present day.

The production offers the very latest in video screen technology to create a larger than life event.

This show should appeal to all those budding guitar heroes out there, and to music lovers of all ages.

Tony Huber Singing Easy Listening Music The New Dawn Sings Fisherman’s Friends Jazz Group

THERE are two ways of looking at this play. On the credit side, it featured almost enough popular Sixties pop tunes to call it a musical; some on record, by groups like The Shangri-Las, The Ronettes and The Supremes, and others sung live onstage by a quartet of attractive young girls (Anna McKenna, Ellie McKionnon, Abbie Wilson & Nicole Smith).

It is also full of funny one-liners, Amanda Whittington being noted for her amusing dialogue, viz. Ladies Day and Players Angels, and there were enough of them here to justify calling it a comedy.

As for the acting, it was first rate with the characterisation spot on throughout.

And now for the downside. In 1961, abortion was illegal and an unmarried girl who got pregnant was forced to give up her baby for adoption whether she liked it or not if neither her family or the father would take responsibility.

And so, because her mother doesn’t want the shame of illegitimacy to stain the family ’s reputation, 19-year-old Mary is sent to a hospital to have her child but, once it is born, she is told she will not be allowed to see it or keep it and, furthermore, she will have to sign a form giving all legal rights to the people who adopt it.

A scene from Be My Baby. Picture by Fletcher Hill photography

Pretty harrowing stuff with a hospital run like a prison. Certainly you can forget any hope of a happy ending.

Alice Burns gave a highly polished performance as the pregnant Mary whilst Lisa Tatler made a sympathetic matron and Sandie Keane was suitably austere Mary’s mother.

The comedy of the show rested with the three girls alongside Mary in the hospital, who certainly lit up the lighter moments with a laugh a minute in the laundry.

Emily Parr played leader of the pack, Queenie, a girl who had been around.

Holly Minto and Molly Wilkinson were Norma and Delores, two gormless girls for

Proms director rides into rehearsals THE cast and committee of BOS Musical Theatre (formerly Birkdale Orpheus Society) were pleased to welcome BBC Proms associate director David Siebert to a recent rehearsal of their upcoming production of the musical Oklahoma.

David, a successfully accomplished former member of the society, has gone on to become the resident director of the UK tour of Oklahoma as well as the associate director of the BBC Proms production in 2017.

David took time out of his busy schedule, having recently finished working on A Christmas Carol at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, to provide the cast with advice and tips on performing this

well-known musical.

Director Liz Clarke said: “This musical holds a special place in the heart of our membership. It was the first show the society performed all the way back in 1959, so it’s a wonderful springboard into our 60th Anniversary celebrations next year.”

BOS will be performing Oklahoma at Little Theatre Southport from Saturday, May 26 to Saturday, June 2, performances will be nightly as well as a matinee performance on June 2. Tickets are now on sale and can be booked via the advanced bookings ticket line on 03336663366 or via www.ticketsource.co.uk/bosmtc.

“We didn’t know what we were doing. For God’s sake, he was a medical student.”

Les Gomersall, who in February appeared as Alf Dolittle in Southport Spotlights production of My Fair Lady, and resurfaced in March directing All Shook Up for S.O.N.G., was back to direct this show (Does he never sleep?) ably assisted by Kate Miles-Roberts. They did it well.

The show was entertaining and Amanda Whittington undoubtedly gets her message across but the ending colours the evening's experience.

Star Rating: 6 out of 10. Amusing but hard to forget the ending.

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

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

Volunteer Led Animal Charity Scoops National Award

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

Volunteers Needed To Create A Real Buzz In Formby!

Children Help Spruce Up Bowersdale Park

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

But how can you get involved?

Resort Workshop Need More Volunteers

Become A Friend Of Sefton Coast

Beach Helpers Brush Up A Storm After Geraldine

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

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

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

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

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

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

www.mysefton.co.uk For more information and all volunteering opportunities

A dedicated ‘hub’ for volunteers past, present and future has been set up at:

www.volunteeringSefton.org.uk It has the very latest events, news and information you need to find the perfect opportunity for you.

With this in mind, we also require someone who is thorough, considerate and punctual but can also bring an element of fun to the younger children, whilst being an integral part of the family as a whole.

This full-time role, based in Formby, includes frequent foreign travel and unsociable hours, so would ideally suit someone without dependants or commitments. Being a driver/swimmer/non-smoker is also essential to the role.

The candidate needs to be prepared to be an all-rounder (nanny, PA, driving children to school/appointments, cooking, laundry and light cleaning). They need to have a positive attitude around the house with an eagerness to go that extra step when needed.

I IMAGINE there are quite a lot of entries under ‘K’ on the waiting list for RollsRoyce’s next model; Kanye, Kim, Khloe and Kourtney for starters.

When you name your new model after the world’s biggest diamond it’s inevitable that it’s going to end up with rather bling connotations, even before it’s launched. But then that’s the Rolls-Royce Cullinan all over – it’s a Range Rover for people who consider the Range Rover a bit too common. It’s an offroader with a whisper-quiet V12 where the establishment makes do with ‘just’ a supercharged V8. A toff-roader, if you will.

It is a completely pointless, jacked-up Phantom that in reality will never venture any further than a slightly damp stretch of field immediately outside Aintree Racecourse or the Royal Birkdale – in fact, you’re more likely to see one appearing on MTV Base alongside someone whose name begins with K. But that doesn’t stop me liking it. Bentley and Jaguar doing posh mud-pluggers just doesn’t sit right with their carefully honed collective heritage as custodians of wellheeled driving fun, but a Rolls-Royce offroader is so delightfully silly that it might just work. It’s Kingsman in automotive form; still refined enough to insist that you call its offerings motor cars, but in the background it’s teaming up with The Who’s Roger Daltry for its charity ventures, letting grime artist Skepta spec up the speakers on its one-offs and allowing its older cars to take part in marvellously OTT displays at the Goodwood Revival.

So the idea of taking your Cullinan to the Arctic Circle and lording it over everyone slumming it in Toyota pick-ups – and RollsRoyce has been testing the new car there, just to make sure it’ll cope – fits in perfectly with the manufacturer’s softly spoken sense of fun.

If it can haul itself up the same mucky hill as a Range Rover, but in a much more needlessly expensive way, then so be it. The one per cent have been doing pointless things with RollsRoyces for generations, and the Cullinan fits in perfectly.

And if any pub bores do wander over (and it’ll be a very upmarket pub, presumably) and start piping up about how Rolls-Royce shouldn’t be doing off-roaders, then you can point out that it was taking on remote places and winning long before Jeeps and Land Rovers were even conceived. In the 1920s farmers used to travel around the Australian Outback in Silver Ghosts because they were the toughest things on the market. So the Cullinan does have off-roading pedigree.

So I like Rolls’ toff-roader because it’s a completely needless car that I’ll never be able to afford. Unless I change my name to one with beginning with K, of course…

Tommy happy with a much-improved display at Masters Report by Henry James SOUTHPORT golfer Tommy Fleetwood had a much-improved performance at this year’s Masters golf tournament.

Fleetwood missed the cut when he made his debut at the event last year, but this year he made the cut and finished tied 17th on four under par – 11 shots behind the winner Patrick Reed.

The 27-year-old played with Tiger Woods for the first two days and the highlight of his tournament was his 66 in the third round, which included five birdies on the back nine and he was tied for sixth after three rounds.

After his third round he commented: “We actually said I wanted to beat the golf course for the first time today and it is a strange feeling to come off the course disappointed with a 66, but it was a great day.

“I played brilliantly all day from the first to the last. I hit really good golf shots when I wanted to and it was just a case of rolling some putts in and the score happened.

“It was a really good day for scoring but you have got to do it and it

Tommy Fleetwood.

is not a very easy course, so it is nice to get something going.

“It was good to record five birdies in a row. I just got on a little run and it was good to get the crowd going and nice to climb the leaderboard.

“I enjoyed shooting a low round, and securing a later tee time on the final day.”

S&B and Formby set to start new season bolstered by recruits THE 2018 Liverpool & District Cricket Competition gets underway on Saturday on April 21 and several clubs have been busy over the winter months recruiting new players, writes Glenn Wallworth.

Formby have had a major shakeup with James Seward taking over as skipper from the retired Ian Cockbain. Seward has secured the services of top order batsman Tim Smithies from BayswaterMorley in Perth, Australia, all rounder Lukman Vahaluwala from Preston, former Warwickshire and current Ireland skipper William Porterfield and George Burrows from Wigan.

Southport & Birkdale skipper Chris Firth may have lost the services of Chris Brownlow to Northern but has signed the vastly experienced Gary Keedy from Formby as player/coach.

Whilst at Fleetwood Hesketh Scott Rimmer has replaced Tommy Wareing as club captain and he’s signed top order batsman Geeth Malinda from Preston, opening bowler Gavin Dickenson from St Augustine in Cape Town, South Africa and Greg Pennington from Churchtown.

Ainsdale skipper Andy Barlow has secured the services of top order batsman/keeper Brandon

Former Lancs spinner Keedy and Ireland skipper Porterfield among signings Faber from South Brisbane District CC in Australia and has been boosted by the return to the club of both Stephen Lucas and Connor Windell.

Hightown St Mary’s have appointed Ben Ashcroft as skipper and he’s been busy signing Zimbabwean under 19 all rounder Jayden Schadendorf, Sachin Sharma from Northern, Adil Zeb and Arslan Dar from Alder, plus he will also have the services of a fit again Matt Laybourne who’s been out injured for 18 months and former skipper Shaun Vosloo who will be available all season.

Southport Trinity have signed opening bowler Luke Falkiner from Helensburgh Tigers in New South Wales which is the same club they acquired prolific batsman Hayden McCrae from last season, Geoff Thornton continues as skipper and they’re hoping that top order batsman Davy Smith can make a return after last season’s back injury.

This rare attack for Southport on Saturday came to nothing. Pictures by Julia Urwin.

Port lack midfield sparkle without Lynch Report by Ron Ellis Southport 0 Nuneaton Town 1 SOUTHPORT suffered their third defeat in a row on Saturday when they were beaten by the only goal of a game devoid of skill and class by a very ordinary Nuneaton side who nevertheless showed enough fight and enthusiasm to gain the three points.

When Steve Howson cleared the ball off his own goal line in the first minute, it was a portent of things to come in a match

riddled with misplaced passes and missed chances that was supposed to be the easiest of Port’s late season games.

One thing that was abundantly clear, Southport are not the same team without David Lynch and Jack Sampson in the side.

The goal came in the 26th minute when a shot from Daniel Nti was deflected past the diving Jon Worsnop.

Incessant rain during the morning kept the crowd down to 814 and the ground staff deserve great praise for getting the match on and this avoiding a fixture pile-up.

The home side’s two best chances came just on the half hour, when Clive Smith failed to make contact with Adam

Dawson’s cross, and in the 83rd minute when the out of form, on loan substitute, Ross Hannah, hit the side netting from an Alex Whittle cross.

The defeat meant the two sides changed places in the National League North table, Southport slipping from 12th to 14th and although there is little chance of relegation, four of the last six games are against teams in the top six.

Port were due to play Blyth Spartans away on Tuesday but the match was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch so next comes a trip to second placed Harrogate Town on Saturday with the leaders, Salford City being the visitors to Haig Avenue three nights later.

Business development manager ‘very excited by club’s ambition’

the new kit deal.

He has worked within football for a number of years, working in and heading up commercial departments at Oldham Athletic, Tranmere Rovers, Huddersfield Town and AFC Fylde.

He said: “The board here is very ambitious with some fantastic plans. I’ve been involved in football and sports sponsorship for a number of years and I’m excited by what everyone here is looking to achieve and I’m delighted to be a part of it.”

SFC chief executive Natalie Atkinson added: “David has a wealth of experience and contacts and will be a great asset to the club to deliver our vision over the coming years.
