INSIDE THIS WEEK...

Not now coming to Formby for the L37 Festival... S Club, Scouting for Girls and The Feeling

L37 FESTIVAL IS CANCELLED

Education for all, says youngster

Organisers blame poor ticket sales for abandoning showpiece event Report by Danielle Thompson

Bongo's Bingo was due to be held at the festival

FORMBY’S controversial L37 Festival has been cancelled - just weeks before it was due to take place.

Event organisers blamed the decision on ‘failing to sell enough tickets’.

They have promised disappointed ticket holders a full refund although they insist the festival could still be held in the future, at a ‘later date’ but ruled out this year.

Earlier this month, L37 Festival announced

an exciting line-up for the three day event, which was due to run from Friday, July 12 to Sunday July 14 at Orrell Hill Woods, off the Formby Bypass.

Acts signed up to appear included popular bands, The Feeling, Scouting for Girls and S Club.

Saturday would have been headlined by the The Feeling, while Scouting For Girls would have officially closed the event on Sunday evening. Bongo’s Bingo, which boasts a huge following, and S Club had been confirmed for the Friday night.

Star Trekkers converge on the starting line to take part in the 13th annual midnight walk through Southport

Almost 1,000 walkers turn out for Star Trekk ALMOST 1,000 participants put their best foot forward to take part in Queenscourt Hospice’s 13th annual sponsored 10K night walk.

The Star Trekk event started and finished at Southport Pleasureland, passing the hospice and returning back through Birkdale Village. It is the hospice’s flagship event and over the past 12 years it has raised more than £750,000.

Although organisers are still totalling up this year ’s amount, they are hoping it will be ‘the best yet’.

A spokesperson for Queenscourt said: “Friends, family members, work colleagues and neighbours of all ages joined forces to show their support with many taking part in memory of a loved one while others simply wanted to do their bit for charity.

“The evening began at Casablanca with the chance to soak up the festive atmosphere and enjoy the pre-Trekk entertainment from Jules and The Ballyhoos and So Talented Academy, along with a warm-up session provided by fitness instructor Sarah McGuinness from Dunes Splash World.

“At 8.30pm, the Trekkers were led over the start line by Queenscourt Hospice therapy dog, OneEyed Jack and waved off by hospice mascot Queenie. The route took the walkers and runners

We, once again, want to express our thanks to the many organisations and businesses from across Southport, Formby and West Lancashire who got behind the event.”

Champion reader Rebecca Dutton told the Champion that she did the walk with friends and family for the ‘fantastic staff’ who cared for her late brother-in-law. Rebecca, who owns The Pines in Hillside, thanked her customers for being ‘so kind and generous’ and helping her to reach her target of £1,500.

Work starts on new housing development site on Queen’s Road WORK has started to clear land around homes on Queen’s Road that are set to be demolished to make way for a new housing development,.

A planning application was submitted to Sefton Council in August 2017 by applicant Gavin Whiteside to demolish the six semi-detached properties at numbers 20-30 as well as a row of garages, to erect 12 detached dwellings, which will have four, five or six bedrooms.

The application was refused in December 2017 but an appeal was made under section 78 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the plans were given the go-ahead in October 2018 with extra con-

ditions, including the protection of trees on the site.

The design and access statement submitted with the original planning application gives an outline of the site's history. It states: “Since the 1920’s the site itself saw the development of six semi detached properties including a public courtyard which faced Queens Road.

“To the west of the site, a Coastguard HQ was introduced due to the fact that the site is in close proximity to the sea front of the Irish Sea. The public gardens eventually became private ownership of the six dwellings and remains the same to this day.”

Two of the homes on Queens Road set to be demolished

Knife crime campaigner nominated for ‘unsung heroines’ award

Laura was one of 93 runners, above, who took on the Liverpool Rock & Roll half-marathon at the weekend

Report by Danielle Thompson A MUM of four who is campaigning against knife crime, is one of three inspirational women from Sefton to reach the finals of the 2019 Merseyside Women of the Year Awards.

The award nomination is for Laura Hughes, from Formby, whose family raised almost £10,000 at the weekend by taking on the Liverpool Rock & Roll half-marathon for charity.

Laura, Brenda Porter from Ainsdale and Margot Walker from Blundellsands have each reached the final 26 in the awards, which aim to ‘find and reward unsung heroines for their achievements in just doing what they do best, changing lives and giving extra meaning to people’s lives’.

A public vote is running until Monday, June 10 to decide the overall Woman of the Year, which will be announced at the awards ceremony on June 28.

Laura is the sister of Colin McGinty, who was brutally stabbed to death in 2001, aged just 21, by a gang of four men following a night out in Bootle. Police believe the attack on Colin was a tragic case of mistaken identity.

Thirty-six-year-old Laura campaigns to prevent young people carrying knives to ensure other families don’t endure the pain her family has

suffered. She also backs the national ‘No More Knives’ campaign.

Laura, together with her brothers Michael, David and Robert McGinty, who all grew up in Crosby, took on the 13 mile Rock & Roll run challenge as part of a group of 93 runners in Liverpool on Sunday, May 26.

They organised the challenge this year as an early celebration of what would have been Colin's 40th Birthday, in August. The group also held a fundraiser to mark the run, at Waterloo Rugby Club and between the two events they raised more than £9,437.80 for the children’s charity Cash 4 Kids with more donations still coming in.

Laura, who was only 18 when her brother was murdered, told the Champion: “Just to be nominated for the award is amazing and it’s wonderful to be recognised for the work we have done - plus it gives us a bigger platform to spread the message further.

“We started as just the four of us, but by the time of the run our group of friends, family and our extended group had grown to 93, which was incredible! Some of those hadn’t even met Colin or the family so it’s wonderful that they are being inspired to do something in his memory now.”

L37 Festival is called off From page 1 There were also set to be two music stages at the event filled with up-andcoming talent including Xander & The Peace Pirates, Foxtrap, The Cheap Thrills and Y.O.U.N.G, RATS, Life At The Arcade, Handstand Parade and Skinner ’s Lane.

The plans for the festival’s premises licence were granted at Sefton Council’s Licensing Sub Committee meeting, at Bootle Town Hall last month, despite concerns including noise nuisance, light pollution, smells, litter, antisocial behaviour, safeguarding of children and under-

age drinking, congestion and a potentially detrimental effect on local businesses.

Representations were made from Merseyside Police, Hightown Parish Council, Ince Blundell Parish Council, Formby Parish Council (who objected to the decision to feature Bongo’s Bingo) and a number of local residents, while a petition against the festival was also submitted, signed by more than 100 residents.

Alex Toal, director of the festival said: “It is with great sadness that we have had to make the difficult decision to cancel this year’s L37 Fest.

This is obviously not the outcome we had hoped for, and the whole L37 Fest team is understandably disappointed.

“Sales for the Bongo’s Bingo show were on course to sell out in advance, and despite having other performers and attractions we thought would be popular, plus with the public’s support, L37 has failed to secure enough sales over the rest of the weekend to take it forward.

“We feel it would be irresponsible to mislead anyone by continuing planning something which we may not be able to deliver on.

“We would like to thank everyone

Drive smarter. Drive 20 It’s BIKE TO SCHOOL WEEK 3rd to 7th June There are lots of reasons for sticking to the 20mph speed limit.

Preventing an accident is just one of them.

for their support, enthusiasm and involvement in L37 Fest and all those who have purchased tickets will receive a refund in due course - we are currently making arrangements with our box office partner. We will announce details soon. Although we cannot risk taking this event forward in 2019, we hope that L37 Fest will return at a later date.”

The early bird pricing startedat £18 for Friday night and VIP day passes going up to £50 which includes a private lounge area, premium washroom facilities, welcome drinks with a private bar and other amenities.

Police and NHS care chiefs team up to put new mental health triage car on the road Report by Tom Martin A NEW mental health triage car has been rolled out to help people with mental health problems get urgent assessment and access to the services they need.

Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust and Merseyside Police have launched the bespoke vehicle, which is a Mercedes Vito and cost £25,000, to focus on improving urgent mental healthcare across the region including Sefton.

The two organisations, in conjunction with Liverpool and Sefton Clinical Commissioning Groups, have run a triage car service since 2014, until now using a marked police car.

But after a successful joint application to the Beyond Places of Safety Fund, they secured finance to buy a fully equipped new triage car.

Marian Bullivant, Mersey Care’s criminal justice liaison and diversion and triage care operational manager, said: “The mental health triage car initiative has been a great success for all parties – it has helped free up police resources and allowed us to reach people in crisis and provide the

Merseyside Police and their partner organisations show off the new mental health triage car

assessment and care they need.

“This new triage car will enable us to reach more people who need us and strengthens the partnership between ourselves and Merseyside Police. We’ve learned a lot on both sides about how we each work and shared best practice to ensure a highly successful working relationship.”

The vehicle has several bespoke features inside the car that will help provide a more relaxed environment to engage with those in crisis including a seat that allows the option of turning to face the rear seat and a table in between.

The service consists of a police officer and a mental health practitioner in the vehicle, which responds to calls to the police

which may have a mental health theme. It operates seven days a week during the afternoon and evening until midnight.

Merseyside Police’s Mental Health Liaison Officer, Hayley Sherwen, said: “Too often, the police deal with vulnerable people when really they should be signposted to other emergency services who are better placed to support them.

“The triage car allows us to operate more efficiently with our partners and engage more openly with individuals in crisis. The service encounters individuals in both public places or in their own homes and aims to provide them with the safety and confidence to explain their situation to the team.”

‘Our MP clearly does not understand the Neighbourhood Plan!’

FRAG and Parish Councils hit back at Mr Esterson’s claims that they support fracking and more houses Report by Danielle Thompson FORMBY Residents Action Group (FRAG) have hit back at claims from MP Bill Esterson that the Neighbourhood Plan for Formby and Little Altcar Parish Councils “supports fracking.”

The Neighbourhood Plan (NP) sets out a vision for the town up to 2030 and has been out for consultation – and Sefton Central MP Bill Esterson challenged some of its key statements in last week's Champion.

Mr Esterson, who voted against fracking regulations in Parliament and supports a ban on fracking, claimed the plan ‘written and endorsed by FRAG’ who control both parish councils, ‘clearly states it could support fracking in Formby.'

But a spokesperson for FRAG said: “MP Bill Esterson flunks his Formby and Little Altcar Neighbourhood Plan test, FRAG are bemused and concerned about his lack of understanding of what the document says!

“Champion readers are right to be concerned by the comments from Mr Esterson and his spokesperson Cllr Nina Killen.

“However, FRAG can quite categorically state that the MP and his colleagues are misleading residents.

“The Formby and Little Altcar Neighbourhood Plan does not, and will never, allocate land for development. Labour run Sefton Council have already heaped too many homes on Formby, our plan does not approve any additional housing development.

“The 'additional homes' referred to by the MP have actually already been built!

They are called windfall sites, something which Sefton Council do not account for in Formby ’s housing allocation.

“These are homes built on brownfield sites.

“So we say to Mr Esterson and Cllr Killen

Formby Parish Council Chairman Bob McCann and MP Bill Esterson

that you don’t need additional land for houses that are already built!

“FRAG have examined approved planning applications since 2012 and tallied up the number of houses already built that are missed out in the Local Plan.

“Neighbouring Labour authorities have sought to build additional homes on public parks and recreational spaces such as Sefton Park Meadows, Allerton Priory, Calderstones Park and Walton Hall Park.

“By acknowledging the true housing figures imposed on us by Sefton's Labour led council, and not just taking the Local Plan figures in isolation, we can use these already constructed yet unaccounted for homes in order to defend against future land grabs.

“The Formby and Little Altcar Neighbourhood Plan (NP) effectively prohibits fracking by setting an unachievably high bar, and is the only NP in Sefton to have an anti fracking policy.

“In terms of planning, and in relation to fracking, the law prevents us from giving an absolute ‘no’ to fracking - however, it may allow a conditional ‘no’ which is what we have tried to do and is yet to be tested.

“In their objection, Sefton Council are rightly concerned that, in reality, our fracking policy amounts to a ban. Significant housing developers, have already

expressed concerns and objected to the policies within our NP.” Formby Parish Council Chairman, Bob McCann added: “The comments from Mr Esterson and his colleague appear to be more about political mischief-making than adding anything to the ongoing conversation about Neighbourhood Planning.

“I am more than willing to arrange for them to be better informed about this document as they clearly do not understand the finer details. Equally, I am happy for anyone who needs more information to contact us. Everyone in Formby and Little Altcar will be asked to vote on this plan. If it fails, then the only winners will be the large developers and the fracking companies.”

Formby Parish Councillor Derek Baxter from FRAG added: “Mr Esterson’s stance on fracking has been chequered because for most of his Parliamentary career he has been part of a pro-fracking party. His voting history on fracking is a matter of public record.

“His support for the Heathrow third runway dents his credibility with regards to fighting climate change, and echoes local Sefton Labour councillors supporting large developments on wildlife sites with endangered ecology. As usual, it’s all greenwash, fine words and little substance.”

Ladies Day raises £15k for St Joseph’s Hospice ST Joseph’s Hospice's annual Spring Ladies Day has raised £15,000 after a successful event held at Formby Hall.

Around 22 ladies attended on Sunday, May 19 for a three-course lunch, fol-

lowed by pampering, shopping and dancing.

This year’s Ladies Day host, Merseyside actress Lindzi Germain, gave up her time to support the hospice in memory of her friend and mentor,

comedian Mickey Finn, who passed away at the hospice in 2016.

Lindzi made sure that everyone had a fantastic afternoon and encouraged everyone to dig deep for the chance to win a range of

stunning prizes, all in aid of the hospice.

Julie McAdam, fundraiser at St Joseph’s Hospice, said: “We’d like to say a really big thank you to everyone who came along and supported the hospice.”

Young singing group join Royal Wedding choir for memorable performance TALENTED young singers from Formby joined Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding choir for an 'incredible performance' on stage in Liverpool.

The Kingdom Choir became a household name following their stunning performance of Stand

By Me at the royal wedding last year.

The choir launched a national search for children’s and youth choirs to perform alongside them at each venue of their début 18-venue UK tour.

Formby children’s choir Make Noise 2, based at the Gild Hall, joined the gospel stars at Liverpool’s Philharmonic Hall on Tuesday, May 21.

Make Noise 2 Choir director Catherine Last said: “We were so proud to perform at this amazing event with the very talented Kingdowm Choir.

“The children gave an incredible performance.”

Members of Make Noise 2 just before going on stage

Karen Gibson, conductor of The Kingdom Choir added: “It was tough to choose the choirs, but so lovely to see so many singing communities out there.

“From personal experience, I know what singing can do for a person, so sharing that with young people across the country is a really special thing for us.“

SOME of Sefton’s most vulnerable children and young people have been recognised for their outstanding achievements at the ‘No Limits’ awards ceremony.

Social workers, teachers and mentors nominate children and young people who are in the care of Sefton Council, for an award in recognition of their successes throughout the year.

Now in its 19th year, the ‘No Limits’ awards predominately acknowledge a young person’s achievement in a learning environment, whether in school, further education or an alternative setting.

However, the awards are not based solely on academic progress as they can be won by showing improvement in attendance, personal development, skills and knowledge. Many of the children who have won awards have gone on to do some remarkable things in their lives.

Each year the event is attended by about 300 children and young people and more than 100 foster and kinship carers. Every child nominated is invited to the awards ceremony, with their guests, and all nominees receive a medal, vouchers and certificates in recognition of their hard work.

Twenty-one-year-old Caitlyne is the winner of this year’s top prize. She came into foster care at 13 and has had such a positive experience that she has stayed put with her foster family.

She was described as a dedicated, passionate and extremely hard-working student. She is about to complete a foundation degree in Children and Young People’s studies and has secured a place at the University of Central Lancaster starting in September.

After having gone through a rigorous professional assessment process.

Checkers of Churchtown Have been accredited for providing a first class service for fitting and after sales.

Caitlyne being presented with her award by Dwayne Johnson, Sefton's Head of Social Care

Cllr John Joseph Kelly, Sefton Council’s Cabinet Member for Children, Schools and Safeguarding, said: “Every one of the young people at these awards fully deserves to be recognised for their determination, hard work and dedication. I’m delighted that we are supporting them to reach such achievements.

“Children in care and care leavers are the most vulnerable young people within our communities.

The circumstances in which they are growing up in are more complex and they may not have the same family support as their peers. It is our responsibility to fulfil the traditional parenting role.

“We also need to be ambitious for them and support and encourage them to make a success of their adult life.”

Selfless youngster wants to help other children get an improved education Report by Danielle Thompson A TEN year old girl from Formby is backing a charity's campaign to ensure that children all over the world have access to education.

Olivia Rawsthorne is a pupil at Trinity St Peters Primary School, who ran a project on the work of Send My Friend to School, the UK branch of the Global Campaign for Education.

It is a coalition of international development non-profit organisations, teachers’ unions and charities and aims to bring together young people, politicians, teachers, civil society and the media in joint campaigning to demand quality education for all children across the globe.

Olivia was so inspired by this that she plans to spread their message far and wide.

As well as contacting the Champion, she also sent a letter to Sefton Central MP Bill Esterson, urging him

to back the campaign. The youngster lives in Formby with her dad Mark Rawsthorne, who is head of learning support at a secondary school in Liverpool, mum Kate, a physiotherapist for stroke patients and brother William, aged 7.

Olivia said: “I am utterly disgusted that millions of children in our world cannot get an education just because of where they live, their gender and even if they have got a disability.

“I personally don’t think this is right. I am only a year five girl and nobody can change the world just like that but at the moment I just want to get the message out that we only have one world, one life and one chance.

“Please help me and the other volunteers who are trying to make this world into an even better one by supporting the 'Send my friend to school' campaign.”

Her dad Mark added: “It was a school campaign that she was inspired by and has taken up as a cause herself. She is socially aware,

as are many of the next generation – they are so much more passionate about environmental issues and really recognise the need for change.

“They are really willing to put the work in themselves and she has done this all off her own back. I didn’t even know she was doing it until she gave me copies of letters that she wanted to send to the MP, Bill Esterson and the Champion - I was surprised and amazed. She wants to educate adults about it as well and I do think it's a cause that we can all get behind.

“I am so proud of Olivia for what she is doing and I completely support her. I think it's wonderful that she wants to make a difference to others' lives.”

The Global Campaign for Education is an internationall organisation working to ensure quality education for all children, with members in over 90 countries.

Businesses urged to do their bit to help village become a ‘Plastic Free Community’

By Danielle Thompson FORMBY businesses are being urged to reduce their eco footprint to help the village earn ‘Plastic Free Status’ - an intiative set up

by Surfers Against Sewage.

The surfers group are an international marine conservation charity which created the ‘Plastic Free Community’ network to tackle the use of single-use plastic, 'from the beach all the way back to the brands and businesses who create it.'

Helen Lodge, the Community Leader for Plastic Free Formby, who are part of the Plastic Free Communities campaign, revealed that as part of the criteria to achieve Plastic Free Status for Formby, they need 12 businesses to eliminate at least three examples of single use plastics from their business, permanently.

She said: “Squirrel Coffee have worked hard to reduce

Kiko Matthews will hold a beach clean in Freshfield in June

their single use plastic use and are the first business to be awarded Plastic Free Business Status by Surfers Against Sewage. We are hoping that this will encourage other businesses to work towards it.”

As well as this, Kiko Matthews, 38, who broke the female cross Atlantic solo rowing record in 2018 is now aiming to cycle 7,200km of the Great British coastline - participating in more than 70 beach cleans along the way, including one in Freshfield on

Thursday, June 6. Matthews, who went into the record books on March 22, 2018 had never rowed before, never been to sea and had brain surgery six months before her departure, made the crossing in 49 days.

She raised over £100,000 for Kings College Hospital, the hospital that has twice saved her life.

She now plans to bring communities together whilst engaging and educating them on the issue of plastics in the oceans.

She will reach Freshfield beach along with her support team at 7pm on June 6, when they will join members of both the Formby and Freshfield Litter Angels as well as members of the Marine Conservation Society for a beach clean event.

Inner Wheel Club get creative to make wash bags for children's holiday MEMBERS of the Inner Wheel Club of Formby have been making wash bags for children to take with them on a week long holiday to Colomendy in North Wales.

The group, who made 66 bags, also raised money for toothbrushes and toothpaste to put in the bags, along with facecloths, soaps and soap dishes donated by the City of Liverpool Rotary Club.

Sylvia Welsh from Formby Inner Wheel said:

“This holiday in North Wales, The Merseyside Children’s Holiday Fund, has been running for more than 50 years for children aged four to 10 who would really benefit from a week of fun out in the open air. The activities, which include trips to the zoo, paddling in the sea at the beach at Llandudno, walking, playing and meeting new friends are all activities which they enjoy. It is a really fun-packed holdiay that is remembered for a long time.”

Raise a mug to North West Air Ambulance crews!

Report by Henry James IN celebration of its 20th birthday this month, the North West Air Ambulance Charity is asking the public to ‘raise a mug’ in honour of its lifesaving work.

Brew with the Crew has been launched to run over the next few months and hopefully will bring people together over tea, coffee and cake in order to help keep its air ambulance crews in the sky.

Back at their Blackpool and Barton base, the charity’s crew estimate they miss out on an approximate 6,782 brews each year due to mission call outs.

Sometimes no sooner than the kettle is on, the crew are called out to reach critically injured patients across all corners of the North West including here in Sefton.

So as the crew save lives while their teas and coffees cool, NWAA urges people to brew up!

By hosting an event, people can thank their local helicopter heroes and raise vital funds over cake and a cuppa.

This could be with a ‘par-tea’ at a local community centre, inviting friends round for a brew or even just by bringing a tray of

cakes in to the office and raising donations.

All money raised will go towards making a life-saving impact in the North West.

Andy Duncan, lead helicopter emergency medical service paramedic at the charity, said: “To be able to celebrate our 20th birthday is testament to the fantastic support of our amazing fundraisers and volunteers. As an organisation which is entirely dependent on charitable contributions, we quite literally couldn’t do it without them.

“It’s a bit of a running joke amongst our crew that as soon as we click the kettle on, that’s when we always seem to get a mission call-out! There’s never any delay

though – we’re straight onto the aircraft, getting to where our patients are as soon as possible.”

Just £9 can fuel one of NWAA’s three helicopters for one minute of a mission. A donation of £25 can buy a warming blanket to maintain the body temperature of a severe trauma patient, and £650 can provide a specialist stretcher to ensure that patients with neck or spinal injuries can be transported to hospital safely. No matter how big or small your donation is, you will be helping to save a life.

LETTERS to the Editor

MPs should cast their votes in the best interests of the country In view of some recent criticisms of our local MPs, I wish to point out that new Members of Parliament are instructed that their duty is to be their constituency’s representative, NOT its delegate.

Thus, Messrs Moore and Esterson’s jobs as representatives for Southprt and Sefton Central respectively, is to cast their votes according to their own best judgement of what is in the best interests of the country and that may be completely at odds with what their constituents or their parties want.

Graham Nelson, Formby

BID money should be used to reduce town centre rates With regard to the Champion’s report last week on the empty buildings in Southport.

I was enraged to read a previous article in the Champion, about the BID asking for more money to decorate the town with more flower beds etc, when, ‘on their watch’, they have presided over failing businesses and increasing numbers of empty shops. Their attempts to attract business to the town centre have, in my view, failed.

Perhaps it would be better if the BID money was used by Sefton Council to reduce business rates in the town to attract more traders.

Far better - and more practical than flower beds and Christmas lights.

‘Curb your dog’ in urban environments

Articles and letters covering the question of dog control seem to appear on a regular basis in your excellent paper, which does rather beg the question, ‘is there one, just one, responsible dog owner in all of Southport’?

The answer would appear to be ‘no’ which is a view I would sympathise with, even though I like dogs.

Yes, some of you (an increasing number perhaps) do now scoop, bag and dispose of dogs’ excrement correctly but all of you seem to think it’s OK to allow your dogs

to urinate at will; every corner, every lamppost, tree, shop front, the balcony supports down Lord Street, street furniture and all and every green space - regardless.

Well, it’s not OK .

In the worst case it can be dangerous to youngsters and in every case it leaves behind stains, foul smells and leaves the town (especially during hot weather) looking and smelling like a public toilet.

It’s disgusting and it has to stop.

Happily, the solution is simple: curb your dog!

Just curb your dog and dogs being dogs the rest will follow.

I know this is not an original idea, but it’s a solution that has worked well, for example, in ‘upmarket’ New York and should, with some good will, work equally well in ‘upmarket’ Southport.

If you love your dog and wish to continue owning and exercising your dog in the urban environment, please pay heed and start a campaign to ‘curb your dog.’

‘Disgusted’, Southport

Hospital staff are a credit to the NHS I was recently a patient in Southport and Formby District General Hospital.

May I say a massive ‘thank You’ to Mr Artiouleh and Mr Gerrard for the Emergency Life Saving Surgery they performed on me. Also to ITU, HDU and the ‘tissue team’.

When I was transferred onto Ward 10B I was lovingly cared for by all the wonderful Nurses. Day and night nothing was too much trouble for them. The standard of care was superb as were the hygiene levels.

You are all a credit to our hospital.

I am now on the road to recovery and cared for by Churchtown district nurses.

Sad to see stores in Lord Street closing down It is sad to see Lord Street like it now is and the speed at which shop closures are occurring.

When Argos moved to Kew I was concerned that others may move out of town too, assuming it is cheaper rent there.

Why is rent so expensive in town now?

A lot of us don’t have our own transport and would rather go to town than out of it - in a car park surrounded by stores.

I know the rise in online shopping has been given as another reason for the demise of the high street but Marks and Spencers and Roman are often busy. As are Sports Direct and Flannels, to name but a couple of examples.

Maybe it would help if stores asked their customers what they would like, then they may get more of them.

Not surprised by FRAG contradictions in its Neighbourhood Plan Re: The Champion’s front page story in the Formby edition ‘Plan under fire from MP’.

‘It comes as no surprise to me that the ‘Neighbourhood Plan’ commissioned by the FRAGcontrolled parish councils of Formby and Little Altcar, contradicts their own alleged agenda.

After all this is the same bunch of headless chickens that passed plans for a market in the village which allows the majority of stall holders to sell what is already available to buy in the village shops.

Quite laughable when you consider that the parish councils argued that it was going to help the village.

Our Picture of the Week is by Steve Higham who lives in Southport and who took this glorious photograph of one of the town’s favourite attractions - the carousel on the Promenade.

A so-called people’s vote could never Pavement must reflect the true wishes of the people parkers be tackled

I really must object to the misguided opinion of John Coles concerning Brexit (Southport Champion May 16).

The 2016 referendum took place for the people to decide whether to leave Europe and included no provision for politicians to change the result if it did not conform to what they were prepared to accept.

The result confirmed the wish of the people to leave whatever the unspecified and unprecedented details may be, not for politicians to argue about the ‘wrong’ result when the Tories and Labour had both stated in their 2017 election manifestos that they supported Brexit.

Any referendum taking place now could never reflect the true wishes of the people concerning Europe as it would reflect to a significant

extent their wishes to stop all the arguing so they could carry on with their lives as before.

All politicians are fully aware of this fact as it is not what politicians tell you that matters, it is what they don’t tell you that is most important to them - facts about which many people remain fully unaware.

Therefore, those who wish to remain now want a second referendum to ‘confirm’ the earlier result, knowing very well that this would not happen.

Democracy

Mr Coles may, I imagine, be aware of the second referendum held by Labour dominated Sefton Council a few years ago to decide the future of council housing in this borough,

which reversed the result of the earlier referendum, when previously undeclared facts were made known.

Sefton had no intention that the housing service should remain inhouse and made sure of it by using genuinely undemocratic dirty tricks, in my opinion.

The precise repetition of any referendum can never be true democracy unless it takes place a long time after the previous one.

I suspect that the independent Electoral Commission would therefore allow one to take place right now only if it asked the simple question as to whether you support Brexit on the current deal or on no deal at all.

John Lee, Southport

across the whole borough

Can someone from Sefton Parking Services explain why the offence of parking partly or fully on a pavement, (and across single and double yellow lines) is only enforced around Pontins in Ainsdale, and totally ignored across the rest of the borough?

Could it be due to the fact that most of the people they are going to ticket are from outside of Sefton, or away from their vehicles and not likely to kick up a fuss with the wardens, who will be gone by the time the drivers get back?

Specialist group set up to combat causes of violence Report by Tom Martin NEW ‘multi-agency group’ will be created made up of specialists in police, health and local government who will work to tackle the causes of serious violent crime.

Merseyside’s Police Commissioner, Jane Kennedy, wants to set up the Violence Reduction Partnership, with the aim of preventing and reducing the incidences of violence, as well as identifying the underlying reasons for the recent increase in serious crime on Merseyside.

The announcement comes in response to the government’s announcement that they would be allocating £100million to tackle the surge in serious violence across the country.

Merseyside Police are still waiting to hear if their proposal to establish the policing aspect of a Violence Reduction unit will be supported with funding from this Serious Violence fund.

The Police Commissioner said: “The causes of serious violence are extremely complex and deepseated. It is not possible to simply ‘police’ our way out of violent crime.

“We need to look beyond, at societal problems including poverty, mental ill-health, education, issues of addiction and lack of opportunity.

“Central Government are also pushing for a public-health focussed response to addressing this issue and as region we need to respond to this challenge.

“By developing this partnership, I want all the agencies who have a role to play in policing and community safety to step up and play their part in addressing the contagion of serious violence.

“Between all the partners we have a wealth of information and data on many of these factors, but at the moment we are not using it as wisely as we

“By bringing together specialists from across the sectors to set up this Violence Reduction Partnership, my aim is to pool our combined intelligence and resources so that we can diagnose the problem, better understand it and then develop and deliver effective plans to address the areas of most need.

Cricketer’s book tells of life as an outspoken athlete in Zimbabwe FORMBY cricketer Tatenda Taibu, who was brought up in Zimbabwe, but now lives in Sefton, has brought out an autobiography about his eventful life, which tells of what it was like to be an outspoken athlete in the country during the regime of Robert Mugabe.

Taibu, who played for Hightown St Mary’s and now for Formby in the Liverpool Competition, has called his book Keeper of Faith: Cricket, Conflict and God in Zimbabwe’s Age of Extremes.

It tells about his upbringing in a poor township near Harare to becoming captain of his national team in 2004 at the age of just 20, the first black skipper of the team.

Just over a year later he was exiled in Bangladesh, on the run from a cricket board that tried to threaten him into silence.

He was forced to quit the sport at the age of 29 to devote more time to his Christian faith before later moving to the UK Much of Taibu’s career took place against a backdrop of constant mismanagement, poor administration and regular political interference, and he provides first-hand accounts of the damaging effect this had on Zimbabwe cricket, from Andy Flower and Henry Olonga’s ‘death of democracy ’ protest at the 2003 World Cup to his own stand in 2005, which compromised the safety of him and his young family.

The fame that the sport brought him also caused him to question his purpose in life and Taibu reflects on the rediscovery of his faith, which helped him to put cricket – and his life – into a better perspective.

He announced his retirement for good in 2012, as his rediscovery of faith began to demand more of his time, while making him view the sport in a different light.

He returned to help Zimbabwe as selector, scout

and academy director in 2016, but once again mismanagement and interference from above led to him and many others’ departure a year later, leaving Zimbabwe.

One reviewer says Taibu’s book “lifts the lid on the challenges of representing Zimbabwe in the era of Robert Mugabe, and details how constant controversy and conflict ultimately restrict meaningful progress.”

Keeper of Faith is published by deCoubertin books priced £12.99.

School chums spend savings on raffle for hospital unit TWO friends who spent their own savings to host a raffle have raised £300 for the stroke unit at Southport Hospital.

Miya Maclean and Nova Brookfield, who are both 15 years old, and pupils at Christ the King Catholic High School in Southport, came up with the idea after hearing Miya’s mum, Abbey, talk about her work there. The pair spent £160 on Apple AirPods, which they raffled to raise £230 for the ward’s family room, while their school added a further £70 donation.

Abbey, who has been working as a health care assistant on the ward for the last two years, said: “I am incredibly proud of both of them. They wanted to do something for charity, and off they went and did it, it was totally their own idea. They were really well supported by their school who helped with publicity and money handling, so great work all round.”

Juliette Cosgrove, director of nursing, midwifery and therapies at Southport and Ormskirk NHS Trust added: “What a fantastic effort from these girls!

“Generous not only with their

own savings, but also with time and energy. We are delighted to receive this money and hope that everyone is very proud of these two, they are an absolute credit to their families and school.”

The girls’ head teacher, James Lancaster said everyone at the school is ‘very proud of the commitment and passion that Miya and Nova have shown for this worthwhile cause’.

“The school is delighted to support this by contributing a further £70 from our charity funds.”

Celebration day at Eco Centre GREEN Sefton is to host a celebration day at Southport Eco Centre this Friday (May 31).

As part of the Liverpool City Region 2019 Year of the Environment, the free event will be held from 10am to 4pm at the centre on the Esplanade and aims to celebrate what the borough’s greenspaces and coastline have to offer.

Working with the team at the Eco Centre, it will feature exhibits and displays from across the region, looking at green issues including transport and energy.

Guided walks will explore the Queens Jubilee Nature Trail to enjoy the flora and fauna of the Sefton coastline, while there will also be the opportunity to find out more about neighbouring parks, including King’s Gardens and the border at Rotten Row.

Teachers not paid due to tech hitch THOUSANDS of teachers were left without their wages last week after Sefton Council suffered a technical issue with their payment system.

Every teacher on their payroll system was affected on Thursday, May 23, meaning they didn't get their monthly payment and had to wait until the following day (Friday 24) for it to be transferred into their bank accounts.

A spokesperson for Sefton Council said on Thursday: “We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.”

Tory group leader claims council plan to improve youth crime is ‘hollow ’ Report by Danielle Thompson

THE Tory group leader on Sefton Council has described the local authority’s plan to improve its youth crime service as ‘hollow’.

Councillor Tony Brough was commenting on reports that the team responsible for tackling youth crime in the borough “needs to improve” after a recent assessment.

Earlier this month, the Champion reported how Sefton Youth Offending Team (YOT) had been given a ‘Requires Improvement’ rating.

HM Inspectorate of Probation conducted a routine inspection of Sefton Youth Offending Team in February and found it was delivering an ‘inconsistent service’ and rated it its second-lowest grade.

Inspectors found staff and senior managers were committed to delivering highquality services, but more robust systems

Cllr Tony Brough, leader of the Conservative Group on Sefton Council

and processes are needed to support this ambition.

Cllr Tony Brough, leader of the Conservative Group on Sefton Council said: “This multi-agency team provides a vital service by managing young offenders to try to prevent re-offending and reduce the impact this can have on the wider Sefton community. It is reassuring that the

Inspection Report rates the staff within the team as ‘Good’ as this reflects their commitment in this challenging service.

“Yet the report rated Governance and Leadership as ‘Requires Improvement’ and Planning as ‘Inadequate’. The claims of having an improvement plan already in place may prove to be hollow. The previous report on the Youth Offending Team had similar ratings. The response then was that there was ‘a robust improvement plan’ in place and that the team would get the focus it needed.

“Yet it is now revealed that since that last report, key management posts in the team have been left vacant so it is now easy to understand how Governance and Leadership was rated as ‘Requires Improvement’.

“It is worth noting that councils can manage this challenging area successfully.

The last report on Knowsley’s YOT rated it across all areas as needing ‘Minimal Improvement’.

“We look forward to Sefton Council improving this service to the benefit of all in our community.”

Volunteers set to be recognised for their hard work A SPECIAL event will be held in Southport to mark national Volunteers’ Week celebrations.

Volunteer’s Week, which takes place in the first week of June each year, pays tribute to the hard work of locals who

give up their time for the community.

On Wednesday, June 5, Volunteer Centre Sefton, which is part of Sefton CVS, will be hosting a volunteer drop-in event at Southport Library in the Atkin-

son Arts Centre on Lord Street, from 10am until 4pm.

Volunteer Centre staff will be on hand to talk to residents about the benefits of volunteering, how to get involved and what roles are available locally.

Members of the public can come along and speak to representatives from a range of local good causes, who will be talking about the exciting volunteer roles they have to offer.

GP practices to get involved in popular ‘parkrun’ events GP practices across England will be celebrating the first anniversary of the ‘parkrun’ practice initiative this Saturday (June 1).

‘Parkrun events are volunteer-led 5k runs that take place each Saturday morning across the UK and are open to walkers, runners and volunteers of all ages and abilities.

More than 900 general practices have linked up with their local events to promote the health and wellbeing of patients and staff – with about 150,000 people taking part every weekend.

To celebrate the anniversary of the initiative, national GP parkrun Pledge Day will be held this weekend to encourage GPs and general

practice staff across the UK to pledge, in advance, to join thousands of walkers, runners and volunteers at parkrun events. It aims to build on the success of last year’s celebration across hundreds of parkruns to mark the NHS’s 70th birthday when more than 146,000 people took part.

NHS England’s National Director of Strategy and Innovation Ian Dodge said: “What a start! If parkrun and the RCGP can keep up this momentum, the majority of GP practices in England will be involved within another four years. Thousands more people would benefit from the green spaces, the fresh air, the exercise, and above all the companionship and sense of community.”

When you visit the duckery, you’ll also be able to see our newest arrivals – 4 Andean Goose goslings. It’s been over 10 years since we’ve been able to successfully breed Andean Geese at the centre, so it’s really exciting to see this new pairing working so well with four goslings hatching.

ENTERTAINMENT

Bar production will be a moving drama Preview by Ron Ellis Visiting Mr Green SDC Bar Production JOHN Sharp plays the Warren Mitchell role of Mr. Green, an 86-year-old New York widower living alone after the death of the wife of 59 years. Into his life comes a young executive, Ross (played by Kyle Harrison–Pope), who has been ordered by a court to pay him weekly visits having nearly run him down.

Both men are Jewish and both are solitary people, Ross because he feels guilty about being gay, but soon a bond grows between them as they share secrets of their lives.

A compelling drama with lots of humour as well as some very moving moments.

Visiting Mr Green ran for a year in New York before going on to play 37 countries in 22 languages with more than 300 separate

Rehearsals for Visiting Mr Green

productions over the past decade.

Directed by Michele Martin, the play runs in the Bar from Tuesday, June 4 to Saturday, June 8 at 7.30pm.

The Box Office is open from Tuesday, May 28. Tel 01704 530521/530460 or book online.

Following five years in the West End, sell-out runs worldwide and smash hit tours in 2014, 2015 and 2016 (packed with mischief, bad behaviour and political incorrectness!) Tony Award-win-

ning Musical, created by Jeff Marx and Robert Lopez, co-creator of Book of Mormon and writer of the songs for Disney’s Frozen, is a tale of the loveable characters on a downtown New York street trying to make sense of life’s burning issues.

Meet Princeton, a bright-eyed graduate who comes to New York City with big dreams and a tiny bank account.

Brian the out-of-work comedian

and his therapist fiancée Christmas Eve; Nicky the good-hearted slacker and his closet gay Republican roommate Rod, an Internet ‘sexpert’ called Trekkie Monster, Lucy the Sl*t (the name says it all!) and a very cute kindergarten teacher named Kate Monster.

Featuring funny songs including The Internet is for Porn and Everyone’s A Little Bit Racist, Avenue Q is a musical with a warm (and very fuzzy) heart.

The cast of Fiddler On The Roof

By Ellen Campbell Fiddler On The Roof BOS Musical Theatre Company Little Theatre, Southport THIS is a musical based on the refugee crisis in Russia in 1905 when Jewish people were displaced by the Tsar and moved off their own land.

The central figure in the drama is the long-suffering Tevye, a milkman, who has lived in the same village all his life and desperately wants to continue with the old traditions but society is changing.

The days of the Matchmaker are over. Girls want to find their own husbands. A young generation is taking over.

A bare and dark stage emphasized the troubles lying ahead as the villagers congregated to discuss the problems. The power of

the show was in the story-telling, Tevye addressing the audience with his philosophical homilies as if talking to God, as he tries to make sense that the world he knows is slowly disappearing.

Alan Casserley made an excellent Tevye, showing the humour behind his blustery approach. A predominance of male voices was a particularly welcome feature of this musical and Tevye’s rich vocals were perfectly suited to songs like If I Were a Rich Man, and Tradition while his duet with wife Golde (Heather Lewis), Do You Love Me?, was particularly touching.

Yente, the Matchmaker (Lisa Tatlar), has arranged for Tenye’s eldest daughter, Tzeitel (Lucie Colman) to marry Lazar Wolk (Alastair Johnson), an elderly butcher, but Tzeitel refuses. She loves poor tailor, Motel (Craig Billington). Tevye gives in to his daughter’s wishes and also allows his second daughter,

Hodel (Samantha Keen) to marry her student boyfriend, Perchik (Carl Sedman).

Permitting his third daughter, Chava (Abbie Coy), to marry a Russian soldier, Fyedka (Tom Hallsworth), is one step too much for him but they marry anyway and he eventually gives his blessing and so it is a happy outcome for all three couples.

Tevye realises his time in Russia is over and sets off with his wife and two youngest daughters to find a new life in America.

Liz Clarke was artistic director of an excellent production with Steve Chesters the choreographer while the stirring musical accompaniment was provided by a 10-piece orchestra conducted by David Wall.

The society’s next production is The Sound of Music, coming to the Little Theatre on October 512.

Star Rating. 8 out of 10. A stirring production.

IT’S NOT often that you can say a Fiat Stilo is as good at something as a Porsche 911 is – but then it’s not every day that parts of the old Aintree race circuit are opened up for go-faster fun.

No, not that Aintree circuit – if you’ve ended up here by mistake because you’re actually looking for The Champion sports pages then I’m afraid to say that there are no jockeys, highly decorated ladies’ hats or whinnying thoroughbreds here. Nope, this particular course is the one famed for racing of the motor variety, including the very first British Grand Prix won

by Sir Stirling Moss. He tackled it in a single-seater Mercedes W196 – but if you wanted to follow in his tyre tracks last weekend then all you needed was a racing helmet and a secondhand hatchback.

Liverpool Motor Club holds a couple of track days a year on the surviving bits of the track – and for a fiver to spectate I reckon it’s a bargain-priced way of spending a couple of hours listening to screeching tyres and watching all manner of motors scrabbling for the best lines through the sweeping right-handers. I popped along last Saturday during the Bank Holiday weekend and the thing that surprised me was the mind-boggling variety of what was out on track.

Sure, you’d expect Elises, 911s and

Honda Type-Rs on a track day, but I wasn’t expecting the next car to barrel into the first corner to be an 05registered Fiat Stilo. Or a TVR Tuscan virtually unchanged from when it took part in the bonkers Tuscan Challenge race series 20 years ago. Or an Opel Manta, for that matter.

It’s good, old-fashioned car-related fun that doesn’t get hung up on who’s got the priciest entry or the quickest lap time – there was a chap with a Lister ‘Knobbly ’ continuation racer, for instance, but the chaps taking part in Ford Fiestas had equally big grins on their faces after venturing back into the paddock.

More importantly, it keeps part of the North West’s motoring heritage alive – yes, I know that the full Aintree circuit that Sir Stirling would’ve diced with Fangio on closed in the 1960s, but by having Porsches and Lotuses screeching around the club circuit it keeps the idea that Aintree isn’t just about horse racing in the wider public imagination.

And any element of keeping history that involves hoofing about in a Fiat Stilo has got to be worth it for the amusement factor alone. Count me in.

THE top of the Premier Division in the Liverpool & District Cricket Competition has tightened up with new leaders Bootle holding a narrow two point lead over Formby, writes Glenn Wallworth.

Bootle moved top of the table after recording an eight wicket home against Colwyn Bay. The visitors chose to bat and collapsed from 60-0 to 144 all out, with Ryan Westwell 34 and Zack Gidlow 29 top scoring, whilst Kieron New dominated with ball by taking 6-37.

In reply, Mike Farrell hit an unbeaten 79* and Will Hale made 38 as Bootle strolled to victory on 148-2.

Formby slipped off top spot after almost pulling off a remarkable run chase at home against Lytham.

An unbeaten century from Lancashire’s Steven Croft (118* 6x4 & 7x6) and 41 from Anthony Mulligan meant Lytham were able to declare on 233-6, with Sabbir Patel taking 4-119.

In reply, Sam Oldham 47 and Ollie Sutton 43 kept Formby in the chase and Dave Atkinson 65* and his skipper Elliot Ketteringham 40 almost got them over the line.

But Ketteringham’s dismissal to the penultimate ball of the day ended a thrilling contest with Jackson Darkes-Sutcliffe 1* unable to hit his only delivery out of the ground for victory.

Lancashire’s Steve Croft scored a century for Lytham against Formby.

Credit to former Ormskirk spinner Alex Mason 3-20 who held his nerve in the final over to deny the hosts the eight runs they needed to win.

Ormskirk suffered an eight wicket home defeat to Northern.

After choosing to bat the hosts were dismissed for 132, with only Alex Rankin 37 and Ryan Maddock 33* offering much with the willow, as the rest struggled against the bowling of Liam Grey 3-20, Tom Sephton 3-23 and Danny Houghton 3-54.

In reply, Grey cracked an unbeaten 71*

and Taylor Cornall 35 as Northern eased to victory on 134-2.

Southport & Birkdale suffered a 126 run defeat at Rainhill.

The hosts were asked to bat and thanks to Northamptonshire’s Luke Procter with an unbeaten century (100*inc 6x4 & 4x6) and Ross Higham with 53 were able to declare their innings on 240-7.

In reply, Will Affleck 26 top scored for S&B who were bowled out for 114, with Procter 4-39, Anuj Dal 3-23 and Qaiser Ashraf 3-44 doing all the damage with the ball.

Ainsdale maintain good start with 174-run win over Old Xaverians IN the First Division, Ainsdale maintained their fine start to the season with a 174 run home win against Old Xaverians.

After electing to bat Ainsdale recovered from early loss of both openers to post 241-5 declared up on the board, thanks to 73 from Connor Windell, an unbeaten 59* from Dylan Mullen, 49 from Lee Bolton and 42 from Mark Lucas, whilst Mark Newman took 386 with the ball In reply, the visitors slipped from 20-0 to 67 all out as Martyn Farrell 5-30 and recent signing Jan Gadzina 4-25 bowled the hosts to

a comprehensive victory.

Fleetwood Hesketh remain rooted to the foot of the table after suffering a 137 run defeat at home to Wigan.

The visitors were put in to bat and duly declared their innings after 44 overs without losing a single wicket on 239-0, thanks to an unbeaten century from Charles Taylor 131* and an unbeaten 90* from fellow opener John Richardson.

In reply, Alex Halsall and Irshad Desai both top scored with 19 as Hesketh were dismissed for 102, with spinner Avinash Yadav taking 6-22.

In the Second Division,

Maghull sit one point off second place after a 33 run win at Spring View.

Batting first, Maghull had slipped to 53-7 before a mini recovery led by Anthony Molloy 40, Paul McKenna 28 and Joe Bennett 25 enabled them post 140 up on the board, with Kevin Crowie 446 and Marc Birch 3-13 taking the majority of the wickets to fall.

In reply, 4-31 from Cam Lawrenson helped bowl out the hosts for just 107 to seal victory for Paul Walters’ side.

Southport Trinity made in two wins in two with a 47 run win at Hightown St

Mary’s. Trinity were put in to bat and declared after 52 overs on 232-4, thanks in no small part to skipper Craig Prince 80, Bobby Eyes 35* and Tony Campbell 33, whilst Jim Kelly took 3-89 with the ball.

In reply, Jayden Schadendorf top scored with 88 and Matt Laybourne hit 26 as Hightown were bowled out for 185, with the fit again Michael Roberti claiming 5-55 after his recent golfing injury and spinner Akshay Sreenivasan taking 3-44.
