Hundreds turn out to join Great British Beach Clean event

by Danielle Thompson

Volunteers at the Victoria Road Beach clean up event on Monday, September 17

HUNDREDS of volunteers turned out to help at two events in Formby to mark the 25th national Great British Beach Clean initiative... and tackle the growing threat of plastic to ocean life, head-on!

The event was part of the Marine Conservation Society’s Beachwatch programme and takes place every third weekend in September. It not only spruces up hundreds of beaches around the UK coast, but volunteers also record the litter that they find.

The charity says that information volunteers have collected over the last 25 years has helped make a significant impact on

government policy – including the plastic bag charge, microplastics being banned in personal care products, better wet wipe labelling and the massive support for a tax on the range of ‘on the go’ plastic single-use items.

Volunteers answered the call to turn out in Formby and helped at a clean-up event on Lifeboat Road Beach on Friday, September 14, when they collected more than 18kg of litter and at an event on Victoria Road Beach on Monday. Members of additional environmental groups attended Monday's beach clean, including members of Sealife Manchester, the RSPB, Lancashire Wildlife Trust, Gems in the Dunes, the Seawatch Foundation and Capturing the Coast.

CONCERNS RAISED OVER CARE HOME SALE PLANS homes Focus on

Freshfields site one of 17 Leonard Cheshire buildings on the market Report by Danielle Thompson

Freshfields Care Home

A CARE worker has voiced concerns that Freshfields Care Home on College Path could be replaced by luxury homes if it is sold to a housing developer.

With houses on nearby Victoria Road selling for millions it is feared that the care home, run by Leonard Cheshire and currently on the market, will not be replaced like-for-like.

Bosses at the disability charity say they are ‘confident’ they can sell the care home as a going concern and have attempted to calm fears that it will be sold for housing

Documents shown to the Champion show that the home is one of 17 that will be sold by the Leonard Cheshire charity after ‘deep consideration and a thorough process of assessment’.

They say the soonest they expect a sale to go through on their Formby site is spring 2019 and state that all of the funds raised from the sale of Freshfields Care Home will be ‘invested in the provision of UK community residential and outreach services’.

A spokesperson for Leonard Cheshire said that it is their ‘absolute priority’ to find a service provider to sell the home to as a going concern - and that they are confident they will find ‘an appropriate provider that meets their criteria’. Continued inside

MERSEYSIDE Police are taking their fight against knife crime into the classrooms in an attempt to educate youngsters against the dangers of carrying such weapons.

A national week of action was launched on Monday and will run until Sunday, September 23 with forces aiming to combat the growing concern of young people arming themselves with knives.

Officers in Merseyside are going to give talks in local schools, as well as carry out a social media campaign targeting teenagers and young people.

They also plan to do ‘test purchasing’ in shops.

Locals can also expect to see increased police activity and police presence in key areas believed to be hotspots for knife crime.

Community Policing Inspector Andy Creer said: “We know that knife crime is of concern to the people of Merseyside and I want to reassure our communities that we are committed to reducing knife crime and educating people about the dangers and consequences of carrying knives.

“The work we do to tackle this

Force joins national week of action to combat blade menace

Community Policing Inspector Andy Creer

important issue takes place on a daily basis but by taking part in this national week of action means the work we are doing is more visible and gives us the opportunity to show the importance of what we are trying to achieve alongside our partners and our communities.

“Violent crime - including knife crime - does have devastating consequences for the victim and their families and we have sadly seen at first hand the impact it has had on families across Merseyside – including the families of those who have died or those who have been convicted and jailed for knife crime offences.

“Merseyside has a great reputation for being a safe city to visit and we want that to continue and for the people who live, work or visit here, to enjoy their time in a safe environment.

“Our officers work extensively within schools across Merseyside to educate young people about the dangers of becoming involved in knife crime and the impact it has on the community. But we cannot do this alone and we want parents, guardians and schools to help reinforce our message to young people – if you are caught carrying a knife, you are reducing your future prospects.

“We would also urge people to think before they consider carrying a knife. There is never a good reason to carry one.

“Many of those who do carry knives say initially they carried them for their own protection.

Evidence shows that those who carry knives for their own protection are more likely to become a victim as a result and the knife can be turned on them.

“If you know somebody who is carrying a knife when they go out I would urge you to come forward and tell us. We will act on all information reported to us. Anyone with information can DM @MerPolCC, call 101 or contact Crimestoppers line anonymously on 0800 555 111."

Morris Dancers branch out to highlight threat to trees Report by Danielle Thompson A campaign to save threatened trees in Formby village took an unusual turn at the weekend – when a troupe of Morris Dancers held an eyecatching performance around one of them!

Last week, the Champion revealed that a peaceful protest had been held earlier this month to highlight a campaign to save two of the ‘iconic’ trees which the parish council say are to be chopped down - despite ‘proof'’ they are safe.

The Morris Dancers held an impromptu display on Sunday, and footage was uploaded to the campaign group’s page on social media site Facebook, Save Our Formby Village Trees, which has now got more than 600 members following it.

The last two of the five large much-loved 100 year old Chapel Lane horse chestnut trees are set to be felled after Sefton Council identified them as dying and in need of removal on public safety grounds. Work to axe the trees outside Cassidy's greengrocers and Boots, is due to take place this autumn.

In February, Formby Parish Council hired an independent body, BHA Trees Ltd, whose aboriculturalist report revealed that four out of the five trees didn't need to be axed.

Earlier this year, three of the five, plus another, smaller tree, were chopped down - and now the parish council have re-started their campaign to save the final two.

There are now 3,000 signatures on their Save Our Formby Trees petition calling on Sefton Council not to cut down the final two.

Dance school holds auditions for scholarship

Young performers from the Catherine Victoria Academy on their opening night

THE principal of a newly-created dance and drama school is holding auditions to offer one lucky student a scholarship and get free lessons for a whole academic year.

Auditions will take place tomorrow (Thursday) at 6pm at United Reformed Church Hall on Church Road.

Catherine Victoria Whitehall, principal of the Catherine Victoria Academy in Formby said: “I am offering one full scholarship for free ‘showstoppers’ lessons for the full academic year 2018 - 2019 and one half price scholarship for the year as well.

“Showstoppers is suitable for all students aged three-18 years and is the chance for your child to shine in all disciplines of theatre: drama,

dance and singing; the perfect classes for any aspiring West End star.

“This is also a growing opportunity for children to socialise, learn creative skills, gain confidence and develop interpersonal skills which are essential in any career and will enhance their ability to communicate with others throughout their schooldays and into adulthood.

“Previous students of the academy have gained places at Sylvia Young Theatre School, Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts, Guildhall School of Music & Drama, London College of Music and Mountview and now work successfully in the world of performing arts.”

Leonard Cheshire care home for sale From page 1

However, the care worker, who we have agreed not to name, said: “Leonard Cheshire have announced the sale of 17 of their care homes with nursing.

“Freshfields has been chosen despite the fact we are always full and usually have a waiting list. We have adults with disabilities living here and some have been here for more than 30 years.

“Part of the reason for choosing homes to be sold is that they are not close to transport links – yet we are about 500 yards from Freshfield Station. We are a happy home and this is going to affect the residents dreadfully.

“Speculation among the staff and volunteers is that we will be sold for building development. At the side of our home a piece of land has been sold and the land cleared for building but there is some holdup about the actual rights of way etc.

“Our view on this whole matter is that the land on which our home stands is worth a fortune.

Houses in Victoria Road fetch around the million pound mark and a lot of houses could be built on this land.”

A spokesperson for the charity told the Champion: “Freshfields is one of 17 homes across the UK, which we are selling as a going concern. It is our absolute priority to find a high-quality service provider, with expertise and experience in delivering the kind of support and high quality care necessary.

“Continuity of care, continuity of employment, a sustainable future and shared values with Leonard Cheshire are among the factors we will consider when selecting a new provider.

“We are confident that we will find an appropriate provider that meets our criteria to buy the services. Based on expert advice we are anticipating a lot of interest.

“We know this is a difficult and worrying time for many, including the residents and their families, and we will be supporting them throughout this process.”

Man was left in agony after hip replacement op A SIXTY-year-old man was left in agony for five years after a surgeon failed to spot a loosened hip replacement.

In September 2010, James Brolly, from Southport, visited his GP with hip pain and went for an X-ray with the consultant orthopaedic surgeon.

The X-ray revealed a loss of cartilage in the right hip joint and he underwent a total hip replacement at at Renacres Hospital in December of that year.

The father of seven, known as Jim, was discharged from the hospital but, just two months later, he started to suffer from extreme pain in his right groin and knee, and was unable to walk. His new hip was Xrayed to check for any loose connection but the consultant’s feedback was that it was in a good position with no loosening or failure, while two more X-rays, a bone scan and leukoscan were all said to be normal.

But as the grandfather of six was continuing to experience a lot of pain, Mr Brolly had an operation to release his right tendon in March 2012. This slightly eased the pain in his groin, but Mr Brolly’s knee got worse and an X-ray of his knee led to him undergoing a full knee replacement in 2014.

However, in the days and months that followed, he continued to experience significant discomfort, and relied on strong pain relief including Tramadol.

In April 2015, after consultants had failed to spot any issues with the hip replacement on 10 separate occasions, Mr Brolly underwent an ultrasound of his right hip, which the consultant again noted did not show any loosening.

The pain continued, and after visiting his doctor in September 2015 and requesting a referral to Wrightington Hospital for a second opinion, the loosening of Mr Brolly’s hip replacement was finally diagnosed

James Brolly with his wife, Linda

and a procedure was performed at Wrightington and completed without complications. Since being discharged, he has experienced no pain.

Medical negligence firm Fletchers Solicitors, brought a claim against Southport and Ormskirk NHS Trust who admitted liability in April, apologised and paid out a five-figure sum (not disclosed) to Mr Brolly.

Mr Brolly said: “Although I’m happy the ordeal is over, it’s been difficult to shake off my anxiety as I’m always waiting for the pain to return.

“It’s extremely difficult to explain just how bad the pain was. I could just about manage to go to work as a HGV driver, but this was certainly impacted by my lack of mobility and the high dose of medication I was taking.

“As a result, I had to take time off, which contributed to me being made redundant. I then had to take a role elsewhere that paid considerably less.”

Care Foundation trust bosses dismiss staff fears over changes to community nursing roles The pocket-sized containers

Council aims to have town’s chewing gum menace all wrapped up!

A CRACKDOWN on chewing gum litter will be launched in Sefton.

The council’s ‘Gumbelievable’ campaign, will aim to reduce the amount of unsightly gum left on the pavement.

Working with The Chewing Gum Action Group, the local authority and its partners will be handing out pocket-sized packs to gum lovers, full of disposable wrappers for people to use when they want to responsibly dispose of their used chewing gum.

Beer mats will be handed out in pubs and bars across the borough while banners warning people not to risk hefty fines will be placed outside Sefton-run leisure centres.

Cllr Paulette Lappin, Sefton Council’s Cabinet Member for Regulation and Compliance, said: “Dropping gum, like any form of litter, is a disgusting thing to do and you can be fined for it. By giving out these packs, putting up posters and spreading the message far and wide, nobody can have an excuse to drop gum.”

Sefton officers will be on Chapel Street on Saturday, September 29 when the British Musical Fireworks event is taking place, to hand out the packs from 2pm.

Speedsters caught out A safety scheme designed to check the speed of motorists on the A565 Southport New Road has caught an astonishing 6,356 drivers in its first year of operation.

The ‘average speed camera’ scheme, went into operation in August last year - figures also revealed that one motorist was clocked doing 101mph!

The Lancashire Road Safety Partnership gave the go ahead for the scheme in January 2017 in a bid to reduce road casualties and collisions on a stretch of road considered to be an accident black spot.

The cameras were enforced from the Gravel Lane roundabout, to Mere Brow roundabout and on towards the traffic lights at Tarleton - a total of 3.7 miles.

The cameras use number plate recognition technology to detect vehicles and calculate their average speed by measuring the time taken to travel between fixed points of a known distance apart.

Average speed check signage is used to inform drivers that they are entering an average speed control zone.

A LANCASHIRE Care Foundation Trust employee has accused bosses of planning proposed changes which, it is claimed, will ‘be of no benefit to patients and devastating to staff.’

The health worker, who wishes to remain anonymous, says the trust wants to implement changes to community nursing services in the Southport and Formby area which would “focus on cost-cutting, and on reducing the number and skills of front line staff whilst creating more high-cost management roles.”

The staff member added that many staff are over 50 and they feel they are being forced out so that cheaper less qualified staff can replace them.

But a spokesperson for the trust dismissed the worker ’s claims saying that their ‘number one priority’ was to deliver quality care while ensuring the health and well-being of staff.

The spokesperson denied redundancies or downgrades are to take place as part of the redesign and that there will be no increase in management roles.

The employee, who works in the community nursing services, told the Champion: “The proposed changes may result in an exodus of very skilled and experienced staff.

“Community health jobs used to be highly sought

Report by Danielle Thompson after but now we have several unfilled vacancies and we are unable to attract younger nurses into the service especially with the threat of unnecessary shift changes.

“We believe the managers do not have enough frontline staff to impose the changes anyway and we do not understand how they think this will possibly work.

“There is already a 24 hour nursing service of very hard working staff in Southport and Formby but Lancashire Care bid for the service with little knowledge of the area and the duties of the services.

The employee claimed: “Posts will be reduced and staff downgraded a band, and staff will fill the existing band 5 unfilled vacancies and leave bands 6 and 7 short. Nursing service will be spread even thinner than we are now increasing pressure on already overworked staff. Redundancies have been mentioned in a threatening way and there has been no mention in reducing expensive and wasteful management posts,

in fact they are increasing.” A spokesperson for Lancashire Care NHS Foundation Trust responded: “Delivering quality care while ensuring the health and wellbeing of our staff is a number one priority for us at Lancashire Care and in order to help us to do this we’ve been working hard with our staff to achieve a responsive, high quality 24 hour community nursing service designed to meet the needs of those that we serve.

“No redundancies or downgrades are to take place as part of the redesign which has taken into account the concerns and wishes of our nursing team. We have had a period of consultation and the final model was reviewed following feedback from our staff. We are introducing a modern matron post into the service which is a senior clinical role to support nurse development and continuously improve standards. Mileage costs for nurses will continue to be paid in line with national NHS terms and conditions. There is no increase in management.

“We will implement the changes with as minimum disruption as possible and understand that any period of change can cause uncertainty for people. We will be working with our staff throughout the process to ensure they feel supported.”

Dicing with death - rail bosses blast trio who tried to dodge a train at level crossing THREE pedestrians risked their lives attempting to dodge safety barriers as a speeding train approached a level crossing in Birkdale.

Their antics horrified rail bosses who said the trio were lucky to escape unharmed.

Following the incident, Network Rail and Merseyrail issued a plea to pedestrians to use the Crescent Road level crossing responsibly - saying anyone else who tried to beat a train to cross the line might not be so lucky!

The near-miss took place on the Hunts Cross to Southport line. The driver of the train reported the terrifying incident shortly after 4.30pm on August 31. He had to apply the emergency brake after the trio appeared from behind a passing train going in the other direction on the opposite track. They had to jump back to avoid being hit. A spokesperson for British Transport Police told the Champion that such ‘dangerous’ behaviour is illegal - on the grounds of endangering the safety of yourself and others and if, like with these three, it results in the train having to slam on, they can also be charged with the obstruction of a train. If drivers attempt to cross in a vehicle when the barriers are down, they can also be charged with failing to obey traffic signals.

Police are looking for this gang

BRITISH Transport Police want to find a gang of young yobs who spat in the face of a mother and attacked a father on a train in a row over a pram.

The incident took place on a Northern Rail Southport to Wigan train somewhere between Appley Bridge and Wigan Wallgate.

Although it happened on Tuesday, May 29, transport police have decided to release a CCTV image of the boys they want to question in a bid to try and track them down.

Between 5.45pm and 6.10pm, the father asked the group of lads to be careful as they had knocked his baby’ pram. The request led to a verbal exchange and the group made threats towards the family.

by Henry James They then threw a bottle at the father, kicked him on his side after he fell to the floor and spat in the mother ’s face.

Officers would like to speak to the boys in the CCTV image (above) as they believe they may have information which could help the investigation.

Anyone with information is asked to contact BTP by calling 0800 40 50 40 or texting 61016, with reference 523 of May 29. Or people can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Doctor Who writer, from Formby, reveals it was an easy decision to finally cast a woman Time Lord Report by Henry James

Chris Chibnall

FORMBY'S Chris Chibnall, who is now the executive producer of Doctor Who and its new lead writer, has spoken of the BBC's decision to cast a woman in the lead role on the programme.

Chibnall, who was the creator of the massive TV hit Broadchurch, was talking to the national media ahead of the show returning.

He said the following about the decision to appoint Jodie Whittaker, who coincidentally also appeared in Broadchurch, as the 13th Time Lord: “It was just accepted that when we reached the point when Peter (Capaldi) decided it was time to go, then we should go down this route.

“That was literally the only dis- Jodie Whittaker will play Doctor Who cussion. It wasn't even a discussion. I said what I thought, they said yes, and Charlotte (Moore, BBC's television chief) don't think it's an advantage having a woman as the Doctor. said yes.”

“It just felt the right moment. Every scene Chibnall thought it was the right time to have becomes new in a different way, but the Doctor a woman playing the Doctor. He added: “I

Get creative for shoebox appeal THE Shoebox Express, which makes up Christmas parcels for needy children around the world, is launching a new competition for arty young Champion readers.

The charity makes festive shoeboxes for needy children in parts of Eastern Europe, Central Asia and Africa.

Now the trustees of the charity are launching their Art Competition for 2018/2019 Christmas cards. Champion readers' children and readers aged under-18 can design a Christmas greetings card and write a personal message to the child that will receive that box.

There will be a prize of £100 awarded for the best designs. This will be privately funded and will not come from charity donations.

Elbow Lane Dental Care are accepting hand-delivered and postal entries for

the competition. Andrew May, the charity ’s treasurer said: “We will be holding three or possibly four public bazaars this year, for people to make their own personalised Christmas shoeboxes. For those that wish to support us, but who don’t want to make up their own, we also have ready-filled boxes available.

“We are happy for members of the public to take their boxes to collection points in other places but we have three confirmed dates for October so far.”

The bazaars will be held in Formby from 10am-4pm at Formby Methodist Church on October 13 and from 10am4pm at St Peter’s Church on October 17.

There will also be one from 10am4pm at Moor Lane Methodist Church in Crosby on October 20, which includes free refreshments all day.

does not really change character.

“All her lines could be read by a male actor, apart from one or two jokes.

“It's very hard to think of a long list of gender-based decisions and actions that the Doctor has made in 55 years.”

The writer also explained why Whittaker was chosen for the part: “She is a force of nature. She's the most entertaining person in the room.

“As soon as the take ends, she's messing about and having a laugh.”

He also said that, “she blew our socks off” at the first audition.

Whittaker has previously spoken publicly about her hopes that young girls will be inspired by her role as Doctor Who and become actresses themselves.

It’s the first time a woman has been cast in the title role in the show’s 55-year existence Doctor Who will be on the BBC next month.

Police warning to public after Sefton resident falls for bond scheme scam POLICE are warning people to be on their guard after two incidents took place in the borough one of which led to a Sefton resident handing over thousands of pounds to a bogus bond scheme.

The scam involved a resident who received a phone call claiming to be from an employee of an investment company.

The caller claimed that the resident had a great opportunity to invest in a bond scheme, which the victim agreed to do and so sent over £20,000 to one account and £30,000 to a second account.

The victim became suspicious when it showed on their bank statement that the second account was being investigated for fraud.

Police were unable to release any further details.

In a separate incident on September 10 the owner of a house in Southport left his property to visit the doctor. Shortly after his departure a male called at the house and informed his wife that he had been told by her husband to call at the property and cut the shrubs in the garden and he had agreed to pay them £140 when the work was completed.

Even though the wife told them that there wasn’t anything to do in the garden, the male was then joined by a second man and they spent about 20 minutes in the garden. They then refused payment by cheque but accepted £120 in cash from the woman. When her husband returned home she

realised that the workmen had conned her - her husband had not authorised the men to carry out any work in their garden.

The first male is described as white, about 30 years of age, 5’10”, of medium to large build, dark coloured hair and wearing a green top. The second male was approximately 40 years old, wearing a grey jumper and he wore glasses.

Their vehicle was a yellow and black gardening type truck with a shredder at the back.

The police are urging residents to be careful if they receive any cold callers at the door from people asking to do work in their gardens.

As well as the above incidents, between August 30 and September 12, burglaries took place in the following locations in Southport: two on Liverpool Road; The Briars; Upper Aughton Road; Manchester Road and Maple Street while thefts from motor vehicles took place in Virginia Street and Haig Avenue.

MP buys into Swiss bank’s ‘traditional’ approach SHADOW Business Minister Bill Esterson has praised the “traditional relationship banking” provided by the Swedish bank Handelsbanken after a visit to their Liverpool Exchange Station Branch.

The Sefton Central MP said the bank was centred on 'a traditional approach that has been forgotten in this country.'

The Liverpool branch is managed by John Williams, who is one of Mr Esterson's Formby constituents.

Handelsbanken is a Swedish bank with 200 branches in the UK. Mr Esterson said: “It was a pleasure to visit the Handelsbanken branch in Liverpool. The Handelsbanken ethos is to

provide traditional relationship banking.

“This includes working with clients not against them, access to finance and the support that goes with it. It is the traditional approach that seems to have been forgotten in this country.

“Banks should be there to help develop and grow businesses for the good of the economy and to create good well paid jobs. The financial services sector should work for the economy and for business, not the casino model where massive risks are taken for the benefit of a few.

“A few well paid executives have profited massively when they should

have been serving business.”

“I was really pleased to meet John Williams and his team at the Liverpool branch. It is very reassuring to know that my constituents have access to a bank that offers the right kind of support and advice to its business customers.

"The closure of bank branches from the major high street banks has made life more difficult for business and personal customers. Only last week, RBS announced the closure of its Formby and Maghull branches. I am pleased that in contrast to other banks, Handelsbanken is committed to its customers and to keeping its branch network."

Pub manager enjoys House of Commons celebration after graduating course

By Danielle Thompson A PUB manager from Formby was invited to the House of Commons after graduating from a national management training course.

Paul Hopkins, general manager at the Pinewoods, on Wicks Green, met Sefton Central MP Bill Esterson, who congratulated him on graduating from Stonegate Pub Company's Bar to Boardroom management training programme.

Mr Hopkins was invited to celebrate the 200th General Manager appointment from Stonegate, having successfully completed the company ’s award winning ‘Accelerator ’ programme. Now in its 20th graduation cycle, the Accelerator Programme has seen 200 Deputy Managers progress to mangerial positions since its launch in 2013.

To mark the graduation milestone, a number of MPs joined Stonegate’s ‘accelerators’ and senior executives to learn for themselves how the trailblazing innovative training programme leads staff from bar to boardroom.

The Accelerator programme is part of Stonegate’s award-winning ‘Albert’s Theory of Progression’ suite of training programmes, designed to give employees the tools to bridge the gap between Deputy Manager and General Manager, through education and dynamic group learning.

The course aims to build the participant's confidence, encourage continued independent learning

and help them to work together effectively as team. It consists of three workshops: Creating a Winning Mind; Winning in Communication and Winning in Business.

It also includes a practical component; participants must organise and produce a fundraiser event in their pub for a charity of their choice. To date the 200 Accelerators have raised over £300,000 for UK Charities between them.

The guests were given a tour of the House of Commons before the main event, hosted by Luton MP Gavin Shuker.

Stonegate's chief executive Simon Longbottom said: “People are at the heart of what we do. We’re delighted to able to recognise the achievements of our incredibly hard-working Accelerators at the House of Commons.

“The course is a shining example of how commitment in personal development can change people’s lives, as they fast become the company ’s most promising managers and future industry leaders.

"Reaching our 200th milestone is a really proud moment for Stonegate and the House of Commons is a fitting place to celebrate. As well as being a memorable occasion for the Accelerators, we believe it is important to help MPs understand the vital role that our company and the wider pub and bar industry play in offering, not just jobs, but worthwhile progressive careers, with arguably the best opportunity out of any industry to go from the bottom rung right to the very top.”

Fundraisers get ready to put the kettle on to mark ‘world’s biggest coffee morning’ event HIGHTOWN Village fundraisers have teamed up to hold their fourth Annual Macmillan Coffee Afternoon to tie in with Macmillan’s 'largest coffee morning in the world' fundraiser.

It will be held on Wednesday (September 26) at St Stephen’s Church Hall from 2pm-5pm.

A suggested donation of £2 entrance fee will include a cup of tea or coffee and cake.

Any donations for the raffle or tombola will be gratefully received in the Hightown Village Community Library between noon and 3pm from Monday to Friday or ring Brenda 929 2248. Cakes, either home-made or purchased, will also be welcomed at any time.

Brenda Giblin, one of the organisers said: “We have

had a wonderful response from the whole village over the last few years and we hope this year will be equally well supported.

“Vital funds are needed to enable the wonderful work of the Macmillan nurses to continue helping all those affected by cancer.”

Meanwhile, staff at Churchill Retirement Living are inviting people in Formby to join them for coffee and cake at their Trinity Lodge development to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Worthy cause The event takes place on Friday, September 21 from 10.30am at the development on Lonsdale Road. Visitors are welcome, and will be treated to coffee, cakes and biscuits in the Owners’ Lounge, with the opportunity to make a donation to Macmillan.

Churchill Retirement Living

has a special relationship with Macmillan Cancer Support and has raised more than £300,000 for the charity since 2009.

This is the ninth year the retirement developer has taken part in the World’s Biggest Coffee morning, which last year raised more than £30,000 across their different complexes.

Bernadette Hennelley, regional marketing manager at Churchill Retirement Living, said: “We are delighted to once again be involved in Macmillan’s World’s Biggest Coffee Morning.

“The events are not only a fantastic way to raise money for a very worthy cause but also an opportunity to get the local community together. We have set an ambitious fundraising target of £35,000 for Macmillan this year and we hope people in Formby will join us at Trinity Lodge to help us raise lots of money to support the great work the charity does.”

MEMBERS of the Southport Model Railway Society marked the 170th anniversary of the town’s first railway with a special celebration.

The Liverpool Crosby and Southport Railway opened from Eastbank Street station in Southport to Waterloo in 1848, when the resort was just 50 years old.

Enthusiasts from the group marked the anniversary with a return rail trip from Southport to Waterloo on Saturday, September 15 with some of the members donning Victorian costumes, before enjoying a heritage opentop bus tour around Southport followed by refreshments at the club’s headquarters.

Jim Ford, secretary of the society said: “On Saturday, members of Southport Model Railway Society celebrated the 170th anniversary of the opening of Southport’s first railway, the Liverpool Crosby and Southport Railway, by taking a return trip courtesy of Merseyrail to Waterloo, the other end of the line in 1848.

“This was followed by a bus tour of the town as it was in 1848, which ended on Eastbank Street, the site of the original station.

The party, consisting of members some in Victorian costume, their guests and members of the public, then walked to the society headquarters in the former stationmaster ’s house at Portland Street, which is the last part of the station still in existence.

“There, we were entertained to a traditional cold collation accompanied by a toast of bubbly and a rendition of ‘See the Conquering Hero Comes’ whilst they toured the various layouts on display.

A nod to the past... Model Railway Society members reminisce about railway travel 1848-style!

“The society's celebrations continue on Tuesday, October 16 when a talk will be given on the Liverpool, Crosby and Southport Railway at the clubhouse. Members of the public will be welcome at the talk, please e-mail the secretary on drjimford@btinternet. com if you wish to attend.

“Merseyrail itself will shortly be celebrating their own 40th anniversary and that of the 507/508 units which operate

their service, and again the society will be reflecting this with a talk on the Merseyrail project in November.

“Another date for your diary is Saturday, November 10, when the Society will be holding its’ annual Family Model Railway Show at All Saints Church on Park Road. And yes, in response to many requests, Austin Moss’s Big Trains will be there to entertain visitors of all ages!”

Omar close to fundraising target A CARE worker with a big heart is hoping that Champion readers will help him to reach his target of raising £2,300 for charity – as he is just £200 off reaching it after running three marathons!

Omar Hussein, 19, from Southport, ran the London Marathon, Liverpool Marathon and Manchester Marathon for the national homeless charity Shelter. He said: “So far, I have raised £2,100 - so I am nearly there! I hope that Champion readers can help me finally meet my target – but I also want to raise awareness of homelessness, an issue which is not only prevalent on a local scale, but a nationwide one also.

“I realise raising a bit of money is not going to stop homelessness - but small contributions and baby steps go a long way in giving hope!”

Hospital’s surgical Silver & Rose Opticians assessment unit ready for operations!

Formby’s Only Independent Opticians

PATIENTS requiring surgery at Southport hospital will benefit from a £280,000 investment at the site.

The new Surgical Assessment Unit on Ward 10B was completed last week and will be fully operational by the beginning of October.

Southport and Ormskirk Hospital NHS Trust has also begun work on the final phase of an extension and refurbishment to A&E at Southport hospital. There will be a bigger reception and waiting area, and a much-needed additional clinical assessment space to support a timely handover of patients arriving by ambulance.

The programme of improvements is part of a £1.25m investment that includes the eight-bed Clinical Decision Unit opened in the spring.

A&E will continue to operate as usual during the work which is due to finish by late November.

Drop-off parking immediately outside the department is unavailable until then.

Southport hospital is also replacing an ageing CT scanner. The £350,000 contract is part of a wholescale review of the radiology estate which will see the Southport hospital MRI scanner

The new surgical assessment unit

replaced in 2019 and the Ormskirk CT scanner in 2022. Kath Higgins, head of nursing for planned care said: “The new Surgical Assessment Unit is a new, dedicated space for patients with urgent referrals for surgery as well as some patients arriving for planned procedures.

“It will be more convenient for them, their families and the staff who treat them. Because the unit can only be used for surgical patients, it will also mean fewer cancellations.”

The £280,000 funding boost was pledged to Southport and Ormskirk Hospital NHS Trust, to help staff prepare ahead of winter.

Matt Hancock, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care,

MAKE MERCHANT TAYLORS’ YOUR FIRST CHOICE

said £145 million of capital investment had been prioritised from within the department’s capital budget for hospitals across the country to help fund improved emergency care, new beds, and enhanced equipment.

He said that healthcare chiefs want to ensure that the NHS performs as well as it possibly can this winter and that the funding will enable the NHS to deliver additional beds, redevelop A&E units and upgrade wards, enhance bed management systems, and improve ‘same-day ’ emergency care.

He added: “Southport and Ormskirk Hospital NHS Trust identified a scheme that can help with its emergency care capacity.”

Breathe Easy members present cheque for £1,000 to British Lung Foundation AT the last meeting of the West Lancs and Southport Breathe Easy group a cheque for £1,000 was presented by members to Petra McCauley of the British Lung Foundation.

The donation will be used for vital ongoing research into respiratory diseases.

Petra explained to the group that the BLF and other respiratory charities, such as Asthma UK, are combining together to

fund essential cutting research. Although lung disease has just as great an impact on the nation’s health as heart disease or cancer, it only receives 2% of UK charity medical spend.

BLF relies on its local Breathe Easy groups, run by volunteers, to fundraise for such research, as well as provide support and information for local people.

In the North West area there are two pro-

active groups, both of which are pleased to hear from anyone with respiratory disease, or their families or carers.

For the West Lancashire and Southport Breathe Easy Group, which meets monthly in Ormskirk, contact Trish on 07528702203, and for the Breathe Easy Sefton North Group, which meets monthly near Formby Railway Station, contact Simon on 07552182032.

Martin Mere news

ADVERTISING FEATURE

Martin Mere awaits the arrival of the Geese Over the next couple of weeks there will soon be the familiar sound of geese passing overhead – yes Autumn has officially begun, and WWT Martin Mere Wetland Centre will soon be expecting the arrival of up to 30,000 Pink-footed geese after their journey from Iceland.

Reserve Manager, Louise Clewley, said: ““the geese need perfect weather conditions to make the journey from Iceland but we would expect up to 30,000+ geese using the reserve by late September and throughout October.”

From Wednesday 3 October, Martin Mere will be open until 7pm every Wednesday and Saturday to allow visitors to watch the full spectacle of seeing the geese come into roost. Visitors need to have entered the centre before it closes at 6pm but the nature trail and hides will be open until 7pm. Normal admission charges apply.

On Saturday 6, 13, 20 & 27 October, experience the haunting sound and the thrill of an early morning hide visit with a warden. In past years at this time, the whooper

swans have started to arrive back from Iceland and there will be thousands of pink-footed geese on the reserve – you can watch them as they wake and leave the roost. The event starts at 7am and includes a full English breakfast.

The cost is £16 and you must book in advance online at wwt.org.uk/martinmere and visiting the ‘What’s on’ page.

Seeing tens of thousands of geese “murmuring” and “honking” and ultimately taking off together is one of the greatest sights in nature and these events allow the community to take pride in the fact that the geese choose the North West to stop and rest.

WWT Martin Mere is open every day from 9.30am to 6pm and parking is free of charge. Situated off the A59, it is signposted from the M61, M58 and M6. The Centre is also accessible via the Southport to Manchester and the Liverpool to Preston line by train from Burscough Rail Stations. Visit the web site www.wwt.org.uk/martinmere/ to find out what’s on all year round at Martin Mere and the other eight centres.

Friends take on 13 mile charity race

NEW TYRES from only £29.95+vat

Report by Danielle Thompson TWO friends took on the 13-mile Simplyhealth Great North Run in support of the Southport respite holiday centre where they both work.

Natalie Savage, 40, and Eugene Smith, 35, are both members of staff at Revitalise Sandpipers – she is a holiday care assistant and excursion driver at the centre, while Eugene is the centre’s chef.

Natalie was due to be joined in the challenge by her husband Christopher, 43, who is also a member of staff at Sandpipers, but due to injury Christopher was unfortunately not able to participate on the run from Newcastle’s city centre to the coast in South Shields earlier this month.

The charity provides respite holidays for disabled people and carers at Sandpipers and two other UK centres, which include accessible excursions, activities and entertainments.

So far, the team have raised £115. To add to their donations, visit online donations site Just Giving and search for Christopher Savage (Natalie's page) or Eugene Smith.

Volunteers prove fundraising is just their cup of tea!

FUNDRAISERS and volunteers joined staff at the North West Air Ambulance's Southport charity shop for the national Brew with the Crew initiative to raise awareness and funds.

During National Air Ambulance Week earlier this month, the North West Air Ambulance charity held coffee mornings to support its vital local service and raise a mug in honour of its air ambulance crew, including one at their Chapel Street store.

Andy Duncan, lead helicopter emergency medical service paramedic at the charity said: “It’s become quite a fond joke amongst our team that as soon as we pop the kettle on at base, we usually get called out to a mission.

“There are never any grumbles though – the crew understand their hard work and swift response often makes the difference between life or death.

“It’s a challenging, amazing job, which we wouldn’t be able to complete without the support the charity receives.

“We’re really hoping the initiative makes a real difference to their local air ambulance service.”

You can register for a Brew With The Crew pack in time for the next initiative from October 15 - October 21, when the charity invites you to host an afternoon tea in the office, arrange a coffee morning at home or maybe grab a mug on a break.

By signing up to register, you’ll receive a free fundraising pack that comes with games, recipes, and bunting. Apply by visiting nwaa.net/bwtc, by calling 0800 587 4570 or emailing fundraising@nwaa.net

LETTERS to the Editor

Investment needed for beach management programme When I moved up to Sefton in 2003 from the Bournemouth area, Southport beach was a lovely attraction.

Now it is an eyesore being left to ruin with mud, bog and muck instead of the once vast golden sandy attraction.

Why, I ask, is Sefton not prepared to do beach management in the same manner as Bournemouth in Dorset? There, they are investing £17.5 million in the first stage of a 17 year management programme with the final sum invested being £50 million, but is considered to be worth it by residents of the area as the sandy beaches attract millions of tourist as well as local residents each year.

I used to love walking along towards the pier from the Weld Road roundabout, but now the pleasure has gone, it’s a bog.

Walking along Southport Pier I overheard visitors state ‘what a shame - it’s such a mucky beach, no wonder folks are going to Blackpool instead’. My heart sank as the reality is those visitors probably won’t return to Southport.

The sign at the end of Meols Cop roundabout show vast sandy beaches and is completely misleading.

Where is the investment in Southport and its once beautiful beach?

Police need to call time on ever-growing number of unpleasant antisocial people who drink alcohol on the streets of Southport I have been reading the letters about Southport’s MP with interest.

I also wrote to him in August after I was harassed on Lord Street by one of the evergrowing number of unpleasant, antisocial people drinking in town during the day.

His reply was nothing short of a party political broadcast. He answered none of my questions or addressed any of my concerns.

Drinking on the street is, I understand, specifically prohibited. But our MP Damien Moore offers no reason why the law is not enforced, but instead tells me that ‘our police authority has the highest number of police officers per capita outside London’.

One needs to ask where they are - because

they are not visible in Southport during the day. Shortly after I received his reply, I was pestered by a very drunk man for some money while at a cafe pavement table. My husband told him to move on at which point he started to get very aggressive until he realised he was outnumbered.

Shortly after, an ambulance went down Lord Stret with lights flashing and siren at full pelt and stopped close to Debenhams.

As I walked I saw it was the same man that had accosted me and he was being attended to by medics and his two cans of beer were spilling onto the pavement.

Someone had obviously given him money with the result that our already overstretched emergency services had another

PICTURE of the week

self-induced casualty to deal with. If Mr Moore is reading this, I would like to tell him that I don’t go out in the evenings so reassuring me that issuing knife wands in a bid to tackle violence in the night-time economy, is of little reassurance to me.

What I would like is to be able to walk down Lord Street in the daytime without having to encounter drunks, drug addicts and other anti-social behaviour.

I would also like to see the law as it currently stands being upheld. If it’s illegal to have alcohol on the street, enforce the law.

Simple really.

Horse muck on our beaches is a problem too!

There have been letters recently concerning the new stricter dog control areas and dog fouling in public areas.

I regularly walk my two dogs down to Ainsdale beach with a pocket full of biodegradable bags.

However, the amount of horse muck on and around the beach is a far greater problem.

If the horse owners park in The Sands car park, the horses foul the pavements between there and the beach, and those who park their lorries, vans and trailers on the beach leave enormous amounts of muck and hay where people park for family days out on the beach.

Wherever they ride there are heaps of muck which the riders justify as being ‘water and grass’ but it is still extremely unpleasant where children play and people walk.

Dogs can only be walked in restricted areas during the summer, but there are no such restrictions on horses. l have even witnessed girls on ponies in the pools left by the out-going tide where children were paddling.

In Blackpool and the Isle of Man, horse drawn vehicles have a bag attached to the horse to collect the muck to keep the streets clean, but if this is not practical at least clean up around your vehicles and the pavement.

Manure scoops are very inexpensive, so take it home for your own gardens.

Members of Southport Model Railway Society in period costume last Saturday as they met at the town’s railway station to embark on a special journey to mark 170 years since a rail link was established between Southport and Liverpool in 1848. Picture by Martyn Snape.

Not all dogs are friendly towards each other I feel that I must write to give my support to recent letters published in the Champion.

I also have a dog which becomes very stressed if other dogs get too close with the result that he can try to protect himself by pulling on the lead and snapping at them.

Usually those people who allow their dogs to run towards us in an uncontrolled manner just say that their dog is friendly. This may be true but they need to realise that all dogs aren’t friendly towards each other and should be keeping more control of their own dogs.

If they can't stop them from approaching other dogs, put them on a secure lead, or take some responsibility for the resulting outcome if their own dog does get hurt by a stressed dog which is controlled.

With regard to the letters concerning parking on footpaths, if residents are being told that they should pay to have dropped kerbs installed to access their own driveways and avoid damage to the footpaths as a result of driving over them, surely parking a vehicle

on the footpath is also going to cause damage.

Not only do people park half on the footpath, causing a danger and nuisance to pedestrians, but the practice of parking more than half, and even fully, on the footpath is becoming more common in the area.

I’m sure that yellow line restrictions along the edge of the road don't mean that it’s okay to park on the footpath alongside them.

Thirdly, with regard to the letter about ‘running a town properly,’ I have recently visited Northumberland where parking in most towns is free by showing a parking disk.

The result is that the towns are vibrant with busy shops which aren't outnumbered by wine bars and coffee shops. People drive into the town centres, park up and spend money in the town during the daytime, whereas our council’s policy seems to be to allow free parking in the town centre in the evenings to accommodate the night-time economy only.

Beware of selfish speedsters in Ainsdale!

I am seriously appalled at the selfish behaviour of many drivers in Ainsdale.

Despite 20mph speedlimit, the roads either side of the new railway station have become racing tracks.

Sitting, enjoying what

should have been a pleasant coffee in one of our nice cafes, I witnessed three near misses. Pedestrians take care - 60 mph now seems to be is the norm.

Calling friends of Ricky!

I’d like to ask for help in tracing any ex-employees of the Red Lion pub in Scarisbrick.

I understand it closed in 2011 and I wondered if any of my ex-colleagues from the mid 1970’s were still around and if they know who went where?

I returned to the site a few years ago and saw it was an Indian restaurant. The area has, like everywhere else, become very busy indeed.

I was a lowly commis chef named Ricky Turnbull.

If you can help please email me at rickt1812@icloud.com

Fond memories of films shot in resort It was nice to see the letter about the Norman Wisdom film shot in Southport at places like the old Palace Hotel.

If you watch the film closely, there’s a scene where the two main characters are talking while driving northward along the Woodvale section of the coast road.

But who remembers other films that were shot in Southport, or the time Southport had two statues of Queen Victoria?

The film was Mr Love, (The bronze figurine that is seen at the beginning of the film does, or did, sit in the Mayors Parlour in Southport Town Hall).

In the film, Mr Love dies when he crashes into the statue of Queen Victoria and the statue topples over and lands on his car.

Now council chiefs were not going to let them use the real one, so a second one was set up on the Prom at the crossing by Scarisbrick Avenue.

The crash was supposed to happen a day or so after a Bank Holiday, and I was a serving as a Special Constable at the time.

The crash scene was filmed, and the statue removed.

have different opinions about this subject and welcome an honest debate. The problem was, that this advert contains numerous statements that are factually inaccurate.

Claims such as ‘We can stop Brexit’, are factually wrong.

Brexit has been started and cannot be stopped. The advert claimed that, ‘the value of the pound will continue to fall’. At the time of publication, the value of the pound had been rising for several weeks.

The advert claimed that millions of British people work in

Europe and millions more work in the UK. This is correct. What is not correct is the ‘ALL’ of them are worried about Brexit. You only have to find one person that isn’t worried and this statement is proven to be false. The rest of the advert is littered with statements that are unsubstantiated and lack any evidence to support them.

I am surprised and disappointed that a paper of your quality would allow such a blatantly false advertisement to appear.

Marc Stanton, (by email)

The Remoaners are at it again!

West Lancashire Action for a Fairer EU claim the Leave campaign broke the spending limits during the referendum and the courts might reverse the result.

The alleged overspending of the Leave campaign will not invalidate the result because it is only part of the picture. The Electoral Commission reports that the combined authorised Remain expenditure was £19.3 million, far more than the Leavers’ £13.3 million.

Additionally, there was the pro-Remain Government pamphlet sent out to every household in the UK at a cost to the taxpayer of £9.3 million which was exempt from inclusion in the authorised expenditure limits. Financially, Remain outgunned Leave by over 2 to 1.

The Remainers had it all - money, the backing of the entire political establishment, big business and a host of celebrities. They can hardly blame their losing on the modest firepower of the Leavers, and their

claim that the referendum result is invalidated by an alleged overspend by Leavers in just one part of the campaign is laughable.

As for the claim that the referendum was not legally binding on Parliament, it was Parliament who waved through the referendum legislation, by a staggering 544 votes to 53 on the Second Reading in the Commons, courtesy of Labour, Conservative and Liberal Democrat MPs, including, if I remember correctly, our own Lib Dem MP, John Pugh.

David Cameron told the British electorate, “You will decide and whatever your decision, I will do my best to deliver it… the choice is in your hands.” And again, the Government brochure sent to every UK household made it quite clear that “This is your decision.

The Government will implement what you decide.”

The political class will ignore or water down these promises at its peril.

TV pundit and ex-Red reveals the place in Sefton he most likes to go to ‘clear his mind’ Report by Tom Martin JAMIE Carragher has backed Sefton Council’s mental health campaign – and revealed where in the borough he most likes to go to help clear his mind.

The Bootle-born former footballer was speaking at Brunswick Youth and Community Centre in his home town when he told campaign co-ordinatores about his favourite spot to visit if he wants to enjoy a peaceful walk.

Carragher revealed he enjoys strolling along the beach, near Burbo Bank, Blundellsands, and spoke about his support for the council’s campaign.

He said: “My favourite place in Sefton for mental well-being is to walk along Burbo Bank beach.

It’s lovely there, very peaceful, it clears my mind that sometimes gets cluttered up a little bit, as everyone's does, but there's no better place to walk along and let everything get out.”

Carragher was taking part in

Jamie Carragher - backing the council’s 30 Days of Sefton in Mind campaign

the council's 30 Days of Sefton in Mind campaign, which encourages residents and groups to share their favourite places in the borough which has a positive effect on mental wellbeing.

The aim of the campaignis to create a positive mental health map of Sefton, showing the

places where people go to feel better and in turn help reduce the social isolation that can often be a symptom of depression.

To get involved and help create the map, get in touch with the council about your favourite places and Tweet it along with a photograph to @SeftonCouncil or alternatively email to communications@sefton.gov.uk.

The 30 Days of Sefton in Mind campaign covers the 30 days that fall between World Suicide Prevention Day (September 10) and World Mental Health Day (October 10).

The campaign aims to use this 30-day period to promote positive mental health across the borough and signpost residents to the many services available to them.

The campaign is led by Sefton Council and supported by Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust, North West Boroughs Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, NHS South Sefton Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), NHS Southport and Formby CCG and Sefton Council for Voluntary Service.

Beware dangers of smoking shisha pipes Health officials target ‘hubble bubble’ users Report by Tom Martin HEALTH officials in the borough have issued a warning over smoking shisha pipes as part of a new awareness campaign.

Shisha, which is also known as hookah, narghile, waterpipe, or hubble bubble smoking, is a way of smoking tobacco, sometimes mixed with fruit or molasses sugar, through a bowl and hose or tube.

The tube ends in a mouthpiece from which the user inhales the smoke deep into their lungs.

But studies show an hour smoking a shisha pipe is the equivalent of having between 100200 cigarettes.

Shisha smoking is traditionally used by people from Middle Eastern or Asian community groups, but is becoming increasingly popular elsewhere, particularly among young people aged 18-25.

Now, public health officials want to raise awareness of the harmful health effects by targeting students during the opening weeks of the new higher education academic year, including visiting fresher fairs, community events and college open days to

KITCHEN EMPORIUM Shisha smoking is becoming more popular with young people

spread the word. Director of Public Health, (Cheshire and Merseyside) Dr Sandra Davies, said: “We have had huge success in reducing the smoking rate in Liverpool, which has virtually halved over the last decade, meaning long term health benefits to many thousands of people.

“However, we risk some of this great work being undone as a result of people smoking shisha, which has the potential to be far more harmful due to the intensity of deep inhalation of chemicals and poisons.

“There is some evidence that

because shisha is flavoured, people don’t realise how harmful it is and that it is equivalent to them smoking a huge number of cigarettes in one go.”

There are around a dozen shisha cafes in Liverpool, and people who use some of them are at risk of being issued with a £50 fixed penalty notice because it is classed as smoking indoors.

Smoking increases the chances of coronary heart disease and oral, lung and stomach cancer.

People who want to stop smoking can get support from Smokefree Liverpool on 0800 061 4212.

School cleaning job taught me a vital lesson about the worth of manual workers EVEN as I sit here tapping out this week’s ‘Dog’ I should in fact be sitting in a reserved seat as a guest at Maghull High School's annual presentation evening.

This will be the first of such evenings I have missed over the best part of 30 years.

The reason for my absence this time around is a real stinker of a cold - and though it has got somewhat better than it was yesterday, I'm still snivelling, coughing and wheezing like a, oh I don't know, like a thing that wheezes.

For the first time in my life I don't reckon I'd be altogether welcome at the school.

In fact, I well remember the school - then Maghull Secondary Modern, being built - it is but a five minute walk from where I live.

And it also provided me with my first (and only) experience of work outside journalism.

When I, along with my boss was made redundant from my job in the PR department at BT's Colchester HQ, I ‘came home to mum’ in Maghull and eventually to the Champion (while my boss arguably did better becoming an MP).

Mind you, I still work for the Champion, my erstwhile boss and friend got the sack in a subsequent election.

But back to Maghull High. Lounging around with time on my hands, I met the then caretaker who offered me a job as a school cleaner.

The early morning hours suited me fine, but it became apparent that my presence as the sole male cleaner upset one or two of the existing cleaning

staff. So I agreed that instead of cleaning classrooms I would busy myself making sure the outsides of the school were clean and litter free.

I thoroughly enjoyed it - and took a pride in making Maghull High’s exterior spotless each morning. And as a bonus, I was allowed to use the incinerator too - a comfort in the cool morning air.

Anyway, since rejoining local newspapers I suppose I sort of ‘adopted’ my local school and have delighted to see it grow in stature to one of high national status.

Now I am three-quarters of the way through my self-imposed two-day isolation and in truth feeling a good bit better - which is just as well because if I don’t emerge from hibernation

tomorrow the paper won't receive my column and you won’t be able to read it.

Bad news indeed. But worse - if I do not get about tomorrow I will run out of spuds for my dinner - as well as the vital green vegetables for the main course and the goats’ milk which I believe is thought better for your tummy than the plain old cow variety - though I still draw the line at taking anything less genuine than the ‘blue top’ variety.

Also the dogs are I fear getting bored with me moping and coughing around the place - though

Southport MP Damien Moore with Merseyide Alliance Defeating Blood Cancer members Kevin Dunne, Harrison Alston, Gemma Alston, David Simister and Karen BoneII

Stem Cell Scousers promote blood cancer awareness month MEMBERS of Stem Cell Scousers have been supporting Blood Cancer Awareness Month.

Formby resident Kevin Dunne who founded the fundraising and awareness group along with some of the group’s members turned out to support Southport hospital’s Open Day earlier this month, alongside Southport MP Damien Moore.

The hospital's Haematology Treatment Unit is part of the Merseyside Alliance for Defeating Blood Cancer, which was launched by Kevin earlier this year. Other groups that are a part of this include the West Lancs and Myeloma Support Group, the Sefton Cancer Support Group, all the Merseyside Macmillan offices including Southport and Ormskirk and also national charities Anthony Nolan, Leukaemia Care and Lymphoma Action.

Kevin said: “Our awareness campaign is to highlight the six most common symptoms of blood cancer and the difficulties in getting a diagnosis which sometimes comes too late for some patients. These symptoms are fatigue, feeling weak or breathless, fever, bruising, repeated infections and joint or bone pain.

“All of these symptoms are common to many other diseases. A lot of GPs will only see just one case of blood cancer every three to four years on average. Hence many don’t do that allimportant blood test on the first visit. Our message to people is don’t delay, see you GP as soon as you can.

I’m afraid Tina (who is moulting) will find a revitalised me ready with the dog brush, which she hates. Cinders finished her moulting while on holiday - but loves being brushed and will take any amount of grooming. In fact, Cinders seems to take enjoyment out of just about every aspect of her frantic life. I’ve never seen her sad for more than a moment - she is one of life’s perpetual optimists.

I seem to have strayed quite a way from schools though the then Tina did accompany me occasionally when I was cleaning outside the school.

Not really satisfactory because one eye had to be kept for the dog whilst the other supervised the tying up of rubbish sacks.

I'll tell you what my few months of school cleaning did do for me though.

It banished any stupid thoughts I may have harboured about manual workers being somehow inferior to those in office jobs, and it made me realise that Cinders might just have something - you can take pleasure from the most unlikely things.

You remember I mentioned Cinder's stuffed lamb? It still exists, soggily these days, in the back garden - and it's still the first thing the daft dog goes to pick up and trot hopefully around with when she goes out there.

Choc business aims to help people with autism A chocolate business honed in Southport is hoping to melt the hearts of customers... and help raise awareness of autism.

‘Chocolatism’ is run

by Shane Quinn and Sue Dillon and has recently moved from its base on Southport Promenade to St John’s Market in Liverpool. The pair, who hand make their

chocolates and confectionery, opened the new venture earlier this month.

Shane, who has Asperger’s, said: “I wanted a name that brought together chocolate and autism.

“What we are trying to say is that having a disability shouldn't hold you back from doing what you want to do.”

He continued: “I honestly think my Asperger's is a positive thing because some of its characteristics, such as fastidious attention to detail, have really helped me make a hobby into a proper business.”

The pair also aim to help city centre charities and give people with autism work

New law aims to ‘protect the protectors’ by handing out tougher jail sentences A NEW law aimed at handing out tougher jail time to people who attack emergency service workers has been welcomed by the Deputy Police Commissioner for Merseyside.

It means those responsible face a maximum sentence which will double from six to 12 months in prison, and this will cover police, prison officers, custody officers, fire service personnel, search and rescue services and paramedics.

The Assaults on Emergency Works (Offences) Bill, also creates a statutory aggravating factor which means that judges must consider tougher sentences for a range of other offences - including GBH and

Merseyside’s Deputy Police Commissioner, Cllr Emily Spurrell, speaking with community support officers

sexual assault - if the victim is an emergency worker.

The Bill, which has become known as the Protect the Protectors Bill, will come into force in November and has been backed by Merseyside’s Deputy Police Commissioner, Cllr Emily Spurrell.

She said: “Emergency service workers risk their lives to protect people and to keep our communities safe from harm. It is abhorrent that they are subjected to threats, violence and attacks for doing this vital work.

“This announcement is a wel-

come step in the right direction in ensuring emergency service workers get the protection they deserve. Being attacked should never be part of working life for those who put on a uniform to serve the public. Criminals who target blue light workers need to know they will be punished and I hope we will now see more severe sentences for those who carry out attacks.”

Recent years have seen an increase in assaults on emergency workers, with 26,000 assaults on police officers in the past year and over 17,000 on NHS staff.

Assaults on prison officers rose by 70% in the 3 years to 2017, with an 18% increase experienced by firefighters in the past 2 years too.

Garden centre staff appeal for craft and upcycling donations

Homestyle Interiors KITCHENS | BEDROOMS BATHROOMS

Report by Danielle Thompson STAFF at a Sefton garden centre where people with a range of support needs learn horticultural skills, have launched a new appeal for craft and upcycling donations... and want local people to help them.

The team at New Leaf on Rotten Row, is run by adult social care provider, New Directions. In addition to the centre’s normal planting and growing activities, New Leaf’s work also involves service users making craft items and learning practical and fashionable upcycling skills - for example how to create a useful garden planter out of an old chair.

As well as getting a lot of satisfaction from seeing customers buy products they have made, New Leaf’s clients know that all proceeds from sales are ploughed back into providing more resources for the centre. For this reason, staff are looking to further develop their upcycling and craft activities, and would like to hear from anyone who can donate items they can use.

These range from wood, wooden furniture, bicycle wheels, old watering cans and ceramic plant pots to wool, fabric and even offcuts of AstroTurf or similar artificial grass.

New Leaf project co-ordinator, Angela Green, said: “We’re delighted at how our upcycling activities have been going, and how keen service users are to get involved with them.

“Like me, I think they get a lot of pleasure from seeing discarded, tired or forgotten items being spruced up, re-used and re-loved.”

Angela also pointed out that New Leaf always welcomes more volunteer support, with staff keen to hear from anyone who can help, particularly green-

New Leaf Project Co-ordinator Angela Green (front right) is appealing for donations of craft and upcycling items for use by service users and staff

fingered local residents. More than 30 New Directions clients from across Sefton with disabilities, learning difficulties and mental health support needs regularly attend sessions at New Leaf, where they learn a number of useful life and work skills.

These range from planting and designing hanging baskets in the greenhouses, to retail and customer service skills in the garden centre shop.

Anyone with items to donate to New Leaf, or wishing to volunteer at the centre, should contact Angela on 01704 562406.

ENTERTAINMENT

Sixties Acts returning with special memories of town and Merseyside Report by Ron Ellis THE last ever Sixties Gold Tour arrives at Southport Theatre on Wednesday, October 3 and on top of the bill are three acts with special memories of Southport and Merseyside.

Sixties superstar, ponytailed P.J. Proby, was the country ’s biggest attraction in 1965 before he split his trousers at the Croydon Empire after which his career nosedived.

I first saw him at The Liverpool Empire on a Sunday night show when the curtain came down at 10.30pm prompt. Proby, though, carried on singing and even after the sound had been switched off he crawled under the ensuing safety curtain to finish his number to the delight of screaming fans.

I met him in London, some time after the Croydon incident, and we stayed in touch over the years. He played the Southport Floral Hall a couple of times, made an album with Savoy Records in Manchester and then in 1989, he made a CD featuring a song I had written for him called Hot California Nights with Kenny Parry of The Merseybeats on guitar and Frank Johns, of Bootle-based Bilbo Baggins Band, on keyboards.

To launch the CD, Liverpool club owner, Roy Adams, put P.J. on his Kingsway Club on Southport Promenade. The band was augmented by Southport guitarist, Pete James (a.k.a. Eddie Vincent) on lead guitar.

Hot California Nights was later recorded by the Womersley Brothers, Barry and Don. Barry

Womersley was in Southport’s Rhythm’n’Blues Inc. who had a hit with Louie Louie in 1964 and who later joined Inner Sleeve, winners of T.V.’s Opportunity Knocks.

By the early 90’s, Proby was back on top with his first hit for 30 years, Yesterday Has Gone, featuring Southport hitmaker, Marc Almond, and he was soon touring on the theatre circuit, starring in a number of nationwide shows promoted by Jack Good and Bill Kenwright, before joining the Sixties Gold tours. I spoke to him at his home in the Cotswolds and he said he is looking forward to being back in Southport again.

Both The Searchers and The Merseybeats too have made regular visits to Southport over the years, appearing at the Kingsway Club, The Floral Hall and Southport Theatre.

The Searchers started out in 1960 playing mainly on the Northern side of Liverpool. John McNally, who lives in Blundellsands, remembers playing at Litherland Town Hall and Aintree Institute for impresario, Brian Kelly. He said: “Brian ran Alpha Sound in Waterloo and supplied music equipment to many local bands. We also played St. John’s Hall in Bootle where Dave Forshaw from Litherland ran the dances.”

The Merseybeats too worked for Brian Kelly and Dave Forshaw at those same venues. Founder member, Billy Kinsley, who lives in Thornton said: “Dave was just fourteen and a half when he first started the gigs at St. John’s. He had The Beatles on the bill twice, and he is still running his agency today, well over half a century later.”

Billy later formed Liverpool Express in the 1970’s,

It turns out that two seconds is surprisingly a very useful way of measuring things...

TWO seconds. It might not seem that long as increments of time go but it’s a surprisingly useful way of measuring things.

It is, for instance, how far I’ll get into each episode of Bodyguard before I’m completely and utterly lost trying to work out what’s going on.

It’s also roughly how long I can listen to any Black Eyed Peas song before wishing for a pair of noisecancelling headphones. It’s also, if Tesla’s own claims are to be believed, how long its new Roadster will take to thrust you to 60mph from a standstill.

But it’s also a short space of time I see being routinely ignored every time I hop into the car and go to work – yes, extra petrolhead geek points if you already knew that it’s the time you’re supposed to leave between your own car and whoever’s up front.

The road safety mantra’s the same regardless of whether you’re pursuing a tractor or the new TVR – only a fool breaks the two-second rule.

Which is why I’m glad that the man who briefly made moustaches cool in the early 1990s, Nigel Mansell, is giving his backing to a new campaign to stop people tailgating.

The 1992 Formula One world champion reckons

it’s an ‘utterly deplorable habit’ that does precisely zilch to make you a better driver.

I’m glad that he’s involved, because none of my more radical solutions would’ve got past the Department for Transport’s sense checkers.

My initial idea of having snipers on motorway bridges with their crosshairs trained on tailgaters obviously wouldn’t have worked – if only because every time someone cuts into your safe space, they briefly make you the tailgater until you hit the brakes, and the last thing you’d want in that tense moment is a bored ex-squaddie shooting out your front tyres.

Then I thought about having some sort of bendy metal pole that shoots out from your rear bumper, and extends and retracts according to your speed, so its length always corresponds to that safe twosecond gap.

It’d be rigged up to some highly charged battery, so that any German saloons that dare venture too close are briefly treated to 50,000 volts.

However, I can’t see either of these ideas making into commuting reality, so how about treating the ‘utterly deplorable habit’ the same way the Government already does with smoking?

It’s simple – every car is fitted with a TV screen embedded in its bootlid and a rear-facing radar scanner, not unlike the ones already used for parking sensors. Get too close and the screen would show you images of cars that have totalled by tailgaters – and Mr Impatient Sales Rep backs off.

If it works with cigarette packets, why can’t it work with Ford Fiestas?

Failing that, how about some sort of front-mounted radar sensor that automatically shuts the

Nigel Mansell definitely won't approve of you driving this close to the car in front

throttle if you edge too close?

I suspect roughly none of these ideas will make it even close to reality, but as someone who’s had a car rear-ended and written off by a BMW-driving sales rep you can probably understand my frustration with impatient clots who drive too closely.

\

Nigel Mansell is definitely a step in the right direction, though.

If he can make moustaches cool, who knows what he can do for road safety?

SPORT

S&B skittle out Hesketh to clinch Division One title SOUTHPORT & Birkdale finally clinched the First Division title after hammering Fleetwood Hesketh by nine wickets at Sea Cop, writes Glenn Wallworth.

The hosts chose to bat and were subsequently dismantled for just 43 by a fine spell of bowling from seamer Andy Warhurst whose career best return of 824 included a hat trick.

In reply, two unbeaten knocks from Adam Phillips 21* and Isaac Lea 22* (including winning six) took S&B to victory on 49-1 to kickstart a heavy night of celebrations back at Trafalgar Road.

Ainsdale finished off their campaign in fourth place after a 64 run home defeat by Sefton Park, the visitors were asked to bat and thanks to runs from Richie Forsyth 69, Jermain Davis 56 and an unbeaten 34* from Neil Durand were able to declare on 220-5.

In reply, Connor Windell 72 and skipper Stephen Lucas 48 were the only batsmen to offer much resistance as the hosts were dismissed for 156, with Robbie Houghton 4-18 and Daniel Kelly 338 doing most of the damage with the ball.

Relegated Burscough finished off their campaign with a three wicket defeat at home against Wavertree. The hosts decided to bat first and thanks to runs from Alan Murray 81, Trevor Webster

33 and Lee Berrie 27 managed to post 221 up on the board with Theo O’Brien taking a hat trick in his 3-29. In reply, Wavertree skipper Josh Birch hit a century (117) and Tom Oughterson an unbeaten 30* as the visitors wrapped up victory on 222-7.

In the Second Division, fifth placed Maghull had no fixture and Southport Trinity ended in seventh place after a comprehensive ten wicket home win against Parkfield Liscard The visitors chose to bat and slipped from 44-1 to 75 all out, with Tony Campbell taking 5-16 off miserly 13 overs. In reply, Shaun Robson 32* and all rounder Campbell 34* eased Trinity to victory on 78-0.

Hightown St Mary’s finished up in eighth place after a two wicket win at bottom placed Alder who went the entire season without winning a single match.

The hosts were asked to bat and were bowled out for 103, with Michael Ambrose (63) scoring over half of them, whilst the pick of the bowlers were Jim Kelly 4-32 and Matt Laybourne 3-35. In reply, Shaun Vosloo top scored with 26 before an unbeaten 14* from Kelly saw the visitors to victory on 105-8, with Craig Dourado 3-32 and Craig Coogan 3-37 taking the majority of the wickets to fall.

Grey hits a century as champions beat Formby THE 2018 Liverpool & District Cricket Competition drew to a close with Northern, Southport & Birkdale and Old Xaverians duly crowned champions of the top three divisions.

Surprisingly nobody from the league committee was on hand to present the trophy as Premier Division champions Northern finished off their campaign with a 56 run home win against third placed Formby.

The hosts elected to bat and thanks to a third century in four innings from Liam Grey 101*, 58 from Chris Brownlow and an unbeaten 38 from Justin Snow they were able to declare 252-4.

In reply, Ben Aitchison 51 and skipper James Seward 39 top scored for the visitors who like so many other clubs this season were undone by the spin of Tom Sephton who took his season’s league wicket tally to 93 with 8-61 which included a hat-trick as Formby were dismissed for 196.

Ormskirk finished 65 points adrift in second place as they ended with a home draw against Rainhill.

The visitors chose to bat and thanks to a century from Tyler McGladdery 124 (15x4 & 3x6) and an unbeaten 34 from James Clarke were able to declare on 220-4 off 50 overs. In reply, George Lavelle top scored with 35 as the hosts finished on 142-6 with Ryan Williams taking 3-54.

Bootle finished in fourth place after a six wicket defeat at New Brighton.

Well that wraps up the league reports for yet another season. I hope

Thanks to all the clubs and individuals who’ve helped me out with information over the season, if any clubs sign or lose any players over the winter months please get in touch and I’ll do a couple of round ups over the close season.

Over the next fortnight I will be bringing you the league statistics from the eleven local clubs we cover, including those in the runs, wickets, dismissals behind the stumps and catches in the outfield as well as the popular (unless your name appears in it) most ducks.

PORT kept their first clean sheet of the season and recorded their third consecutive draw but this entertaining 0-0 will be remembered as a game where Southport should have scored a hatful of goals.

Bradley Bauress hit the post in the early stages as Southport emerged the dominant side.

Minutes later Dion Charles, a live-wire all afternoon, saw his effort cleared off the line after neat work down the right by Devarn Green.

Jonny Maddison was again forced to save from an effort by Dion Charles.

Darlington slowly managed to gain a foothold in the game as the game reached a half-time stalemate.

In the second half, the Sandgrounders regained their dominance and had a chance to take the lead when Jack Sampson was wrestled to the floor in the penalty area.

But the spot kick by Bauress was

post.

Charles, Devarn Green, Sampson and Dean Winnard all could have scored for Southport in a game which ended scoreless and would have taken Southport up the table. Should, could and would has been the theme of the last month for the Yellows.

Ten games into the league season, the FA Cup brings respite from an underwhelming league campaign.

Southport face Farsley Celtic at Throstles Nest on Saturday in the second qualifying round.

On the Tuesday they travel to Cumbria, to face Holker Old Boys in the Lancashire Cup. Having lost their first four consecutive matches, Southport have since lost just once in six games and their performances Bradley Bauress takes the penalty which have often involved a wasteful element, leading to them recordwas saved. ing just a solitary win in ten.

Kitchens Whether you are looking at ripping out the old and installing a brand new kitchen, moving your kitchen to a new room or are simply looking to update and modernise the space, there are a number of ways to achieve the look you want. An important factor to consider is whether you will carry out the work yourself, or look to employ the services of one of the area’s many reputable companies.

For many of us, the kitchen really is the heart of the home. Have you ever wondered why it is that family, and friends all tend to congregate here. Our kitchens are where we cook, eat, entertain and socialise, so it is important to create a space that ticks all of these boxes – and more. solution that offers fantastic functionality and will streamline the space enabling you to make the most of every inch. Go to any kitchen company and you will be shown a range of units in a variety of styles and size of room imaginable. Most will offer a free design service too enabling you to visualise the different options available for your room before making a decision.

Looking for some budget kitchen ideas?

If your current kitchen is looking a little tired, you don’t have to spend a fortune to give it a fresh , modern look. All it takes is a little time, effort and creativity. If your cupboards are looking a bit dated, in terms of style or colour, why not consider replacing the doors providing the rest of the unit is still in good condition.

Alternatively, a few coats of paint can refresh the look

of them and both of these options are cheaper and less hassle than replacing the entire kitchen.

It’s amazing how much we accumulate over the years in our homes. And this also applies to the kitchen.

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.

Furniture & Fabrics Until you really need to go out and buy new furnishings for your home, you probably won’t fully appreciate the changes in style, the wealth of design ideas and the sheer range of materials available in the shops today.

There comes a time however, when some refurbishment has to be done, when we move perhaps, or when some radical renewal of décor or internal building work has been carried out? Then it is we decide, not just to renew the decor, but to replace those familiar ‘household goods’ with which we have lived for so long. We are faced with the whole cultural shock of design ideas and a range of materials and fabrics we had never thought to see.

However, this is what living in the second decade of the 21st century is all about. Never before has there been quite the freedom of choice, scope of inspiration or value for money in furniture and furnishing fabrics with user-friendliness, durability and eye-appeal.

The former have all the easy-care facilities you could possibly wish for, ready built-in. The latter will have been treated with the latest technology to make sure they too come up to scratch.

Then there are the variety of textures including smooth, chunky or deep piled. Today’s fabrics don’t just look good, they also have ‘feel’ appeal. Choose your fabrics for their impact. Have them made into

curtains, blinds, cushions, lamp shades and loose covers.

When choosing furniture, yet more considerations come into play. It must look right of course. It must be of a quality that will withstand the wear and tear of everyday use. It must not cost more than one can afford and, whether it is seating or a bed, it must Good furniture in the shops today is a cunning integration of technology and craftsmanship. It is made materials where appropriate. It is built to last, to give years of hard service and, a lot of it is destined to be the collectors’ antiques of tomorrow.

Built-in furniture is still a popular innovation, especially in bedrooms and kitchens. However, there is a concerted move back to free-standing pieces, and the

most up-to-date homes are furnished with a subtle combination of the two. forests that once gave us our furnishing timbers. Now the mode is for the home-grown, renewable stocks, such as walnut, beech, oak, apple, pear, pine and yew. Once again we are discovering the beauty of our home-grown timbers and displaying them at their best in our homes.

When it comes to beds however, technology has really taken over. Beds are designed to support the wide variety of body sizes, and personal tastes found in the population at large. Beds are designed to help with physical problems such as arthritis and general back problems. It is now possible for a couple to share a double bed in which one side provides a different degree of softness to the other.

Wallcoverings & Decorating Decorating the home usually involves changing the decor on the walls. Once upon a time this meant wallpaper. Today however, wallcoverings are made from a whole array of materials of which paper is just one. So what is there to choose from?

Adding value to your home Improving your home is always necessary as inevitably wear and tear take their toil, as we enter different stages in our lives and as trends change the way we live. However some home improvements can add considerable value to your home, which for many of us is the main asset that we own.

Convert your basement

Transform your basement into a living or storage space and you could increase the value of your property by as much as 30%, providing the build cost per sq foot is less than the price per sq foot of the area. Converting a cellar or basement into an additional room in your home is one of the most economical home improvements you can make as it generally doesn’t require planning permission.

If you’re planning to make structural changes to a listed building however, ensure you speak to a local Convert your garage into living space everything and anything, but not your car, then why not better utilise this space and turn it into somewhere you can enjoy.

Building an extension. by either expanding a room or adding more. This add extra bedrooms and bathrooms as families grow.

Extensions however have had some poor press in the past because of the fact that they change the fabric of the building and great care must be taken

at the design stage to ensure you have the correct the building is not affected negatively.

Loft Conversion

Not only will a loft conversion create additional space in the home without the need to move, research has indicated that converting your loft to create an extra bedroom can add up to 15% to the value of your home, especially if you can include an ensuite bathroom as part of the conversion. Most lofts can be converted although it’s a good idea to get an architect or builder to double check before you start planning.

Bathroom

The bathroom is another area where buyers may have their own ideas and styles but a clean, modern, well maintained room will be money well spent. Installing a brand new bathroom can be expensive though. If your current bathroom is just a little dated rather than in very poor condition then you may not make back a huge amount more than the cost of the upgrade.

Make the living area open plan

Open-plan spaces are very appealing, so it usually pays to knock down walls that are separating the kitchen and dining room. It also makes the space feel larger and lighter, which will help the saleability of the property.

Conservatory

As we have already touched on, increasing the way to increase the value of a property. If you are

considering added a conservatory, make sure the style is in keeping with the rest of the property. Under a certain size, no planning permission is required.

Whether it’s working from home, doing a few admin tasks or the kid’s homework, more and more of us are looking to incorporate a study area in to our home. with, make the best use of any vertical space available by building shelving units right up the ceiling and buy a pair of steps to access them if necessary. Also ensure that cable management and integrated task lighting is included if you’re starting from scratch with a bespoke built-in solution.

Don’t be afraid of introducing pattern into a small space behind a desk, as an interesting wallpaper or mural will cleverly distract from a messy desk and can play with the perception of space. If wallpaper isn’t your thing, you could use a pinboard, wall-mounted clipboards or rows of curtain wire with small pegs to hang up inspirational tear sheets, photos and postcards to make an interesting backdrop to your study area.
