LET’S ALL PULL TOGETHER TO HELP THE VULNERABLE

Town council to work with volunteers to help needy while pub has created care packages Report by Jim Sharpe

MAGHULL Town Council is asking all local residents to take notice of public health advice as to how to keep themselves safe and secure in the face of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic.

It will be reaching out to its most vulnerable residents to check on their wellbeing and to offer support where it can should they have to self-isolate and be unable to perform everyday tasks such as shopping or posting mail.

Town Council community services manager Phil Dillon told the Champion: “It is at such a critical time as this that people need to help each other to keep an eye on neighbours and see if there is any support or help they can offer whilst this situation continues.

“It is the infirm and elderly who will be at most at risk during this outbreak and it would be great to see the community rally round and offer a helping hand.

“We are still going to be operating from here by phone and email.

“But we are pulling together a volunteer network for vulnerable tenants, a combination of council-

lors, local voluntary groups, local supermarkets, and I believe taxi drivers to help deliver food and essentials.”

The council will also be working with local agencies and volunteers to identify and support those who need it during the duration of this situation.

If you think you could help and offer support to others in the community, please let the Town Council know now by calling Maghull Town Hall on 0151 526 3705 or email at info@maghulltc.gov,org.

Please note that the town hall will be closed to the public for the foreseeable future.

Meanwhile a Melling pub is creating care packages for the “most vulnerable” in the community.

The Bootle Arms posted on social media: “With the news of our loved ones over the age of 70 beginning to self isolate, we would like to help some way in making this time as easy and as stress less as possible.

“We’ve a few care packages made up with some essentials and some luxuries.

“These contain: toilet roll; tissues; soap; detergent tablets; cough sweets; cereal bars; custard; jam; crisps; coffee; tea; sugar; milk pots; porridge; pasta meal; raisins; biscuits; plus a pencil and some crosswords.

“Anyone with pets, please let us know as we also have some food and treats for our four legged family members too.

“If you yourself or a loved one is in need of one of these please get In touch. From me and the team we’re here to help so please don’t hesitate to ask.

“Lots of love, Grant and the team.”

Hope Community Church foodbank is set to remain open on drop-in basis

Pastor Lee Jennings at the Aintree foodbank.

AINTREE’S Hope Community Church has said that its foodbank will remain despite other activities and services at its centre closing due to coronavirus fears.

The foodbank will be available for those who need it on a drop-in basis on Fridays from 11.30am to 2pm.

The Minister and Elders of the church will be

monitoring and reviewing the situation regularly, following advice from the Baptist Union.

Pastor Lee Jennings said: “We do not want to cause panic, however, we must all recognise that many in our church and community of Aintree Village who use our building during the week are in age brackets considered at risk, or have underlying health conditions.

“As such, please respect and follow the guidance above out of love for one another.”

The pastor added: “Being aware of many who are elderly or at risk in Aintree Village, please be mindful to look out for and assist those in the community who may be isolating to protect their health.

“A phone call to say hello and check how people are goes a long way.

“Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.”

The responsibility for managing the Aintree Village Foodbank was taken on by Churches Together in Aintree, along with other members of the community, following the closure of Ainree’s South Sefton Foodbank last October.

PUBLIC services, charity shops and leisure centres in south Sefton have been affected by the coronavirus.

As the outbreak continues to spread across the UK, it was confirmed last week that the first case of COVID-19 was reported in Sefton.

To help keep readers informed of how the virus begins to affect the borough, the Champion has included just some of the information given to us from local businesses, community groups and other organisations. l The sauna and steam rooms at Bootle Leisure Centre, Dunes Leisure Centre and Meadows Leisure Centre have been closed by Sefton Council until further notice. As of Tuesday, March 17 the rest of the centres remain open as normal but this could change.

A council spokesperson said: “Following other precautionary measures being taken around COVID-19, the environment created by sauna and steam rooms means that a precautionary approach, whereby an ongoing risk assessment is undertaken/completed regarding its use, would be good practice for our members.” l Citizens Advice Sefton has suspended its drop-in services until further notice. If you require advice,

you are asked to contact the following General Advice: 0344 493 0012. Debt Advice: 0300 330 1196. Help to Claim Universal Credit: 0800 144 8444. For a web chat service and self-help information visit www.citizensadvice.org.uk l Crosby and District Historical Association has cancelled its upcoming talk on Monday, March 23, due to be held at Moor Lane Methodist Church Hall.

The group has also postponed the rest of its programme until the autumn. l Age Concern Crosby has suspended its Flicks and Friends events held at the Plaza Cinema until further notice. l The CAFOD shop in St John’s Road, Waterloo, has closed for the forseeable future. A spokesperson said: “We are sorry this has happened but as most of our volunteer staff are over 65 and many also have health issues we felt this was the only course of action open to us. We apologise to all our lovely customers and hope to open as soon as the crisis is over.” l Local and mayoral elections in England will be postponed for a year to May 2021. Downing Street said it would be impractical to hold the elections as planned, as they would come during the peak of the spread of the virus

Police urge people to report crime via internet MERSEYSIDE Police are urging more people to report crime online to ease the burden on their 101 and 999 telephone services.

They are seeing a sharp rise in the number of calls made to the non-emergency 101 service during the coronavirus outbreak and 999 calls have increased by 6% over the past 12 months.

They are appealing for locals to

consider using other non-emergency routes to report matters rather than making a telephone call.

One way is to visit the website www.merseyside.police.uk and click on the ‘report’ tab to report a crime, antisocial behaviour, fraud, lost or found property, a traffic incident, a missing person, civil disputes and lost or stolen vehicles.

There is also information and advice available on the website in relation to firearms licensing, registering as an overseas visitor, or reporting suspicious behaviour.

Their social media desk, which is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, is also available to take non-emergency reports. You can DM them via Twitter @MerPolCC or Facebook ‘Merseyside Police Contact Centre’.

Asda store to close overnight for cleaning and to restock shelves AINTREE’S 24 hour Asda store has introduced new opening hours during the coronavirus crisis to clean the store and restock shelves.

As Asda says that it is facing unprecedented times due to the coronavirus, the store will now be closed

Suggestions on social media have been that the store closed as staff were being hindered from restocking shelves by shoppers

Parish council creates a designated area for dogs LYDIATE Parish Council has designated an area for dogs following complaints from dog owners.

The parish council says it has received complaints from local residents regarding a Sefton Council byelaw, which could have seen residents fined for letting their dogs loose on the Sandy Lane Football pitches.

In response it has established an area in Sandy Lane Park for dog walkers to use.

Parish Councillor Andy Wilson said: “We have consulted with local residents and they think this is a great idea.

“It is a fenced off area and dogs can be let off their leads without fear of being fined.”

‘Banks must help out businesses’

BANKS must “play their part” to help businesses during coronavirus outbreak.

Sefton Central MP and Shadow Business Minister Bill Esterson has called for banks that were bailed out by the taxpayer to “play their part” in supporting businesses through the coronavirus pandemic.

At Prime Minister’s Questions in the House of Commons last Wednesday, the MP for Sefton Central said businesses were telling him that banks were shoring up their balance sheets ahead of an expected economic downturn, at the expense of the businesses who as customers the banks should be there to support.

Following the announcement in Parliament that statutory sick pay would be paid from day one to anyone diagnosed with the coronavirus, and that help would be available to the self-employed who self-isolate due to the virus but are not eligible for statutory sick pay, Mr Esterson told the Prime Minister Boris Johnson: “It is vital that the funds announced this morning are distributed effectively to the businesses and self-employed people affected by coronavirus, but the banks must fulfil their responsibilities as well.

“Businesses are telling me that some banks are shoring up their balance sheets at the expense of business customers and their workforce.

“Will the Prime Minister make sure that banks that were bailed out by the taxpayer now play their part in supporting businesses and their workers in their hour of need?”

The Prime Minster responded: “The honourable gentleman raises an important point. He will have seen what the Governor of the Bank of England has

done today to the cost of borrowing overall.

“My right honourable Friend the Chancellor will be meeting the banks continually to ensure that they look after the interests of all our people.”

Following PMQs, Mr Esterson said: “The government must make sure that all businesses who need help to survive the economic impact of coronavirus receive that help as easily.

“Businesses and their staff will need help over the next few months to pay bills and put food on the table.

“The chancellor has announced a new fund for businesses to be administered by the banks.

“It is vital that as many businesses as possible and people who are self-employed find out how to apply for the loans and that the government guarantees the loans.

“I was concerned that the chancellor only committed to underwriting 80% of the loans.

“That suggests some will miss out, causing hardship.

“The details of this support must be cleared up and quickly.”

Post office raiders torch car on street RESIDENTS in Thortnon have spoken of their shock after armed robbers threatened post office staff with a hammer and then torched their car on a busy street.

Two men armed with the weapon targeted the post office on The Crescent on Wednesday, March 11 at around 4.50pm and then set fire to their getaway vehicle on Seven Acre Road at the junction with Edge Moor Drive.

Shocked residents and passersby watched on as large flames engulfed the grey Ford Focus and firefighters had to rush to the scene to extinguish the blaze.

One resident who contacted the Champion said: “The car was set on fire right next to some flats.

“One of the neighbours lives only yards from the car. This was at a time when a lot of people were around and there was rush hour traffic so it was very worrying.”

The masked robbers had used the hammer to smash the window of the post office and threatened a staff member to empty a cash machine.

However, the men left the scene empty handed and made off towards Moor Lane before setting fire to the vehicle.

No one was injured in the shocking incident, but police say the post office staff were left shaken.

Proposals unveiled to crack down on pavement parking

by Danielle Thompson PROPOSALS to tackle pavement parking and make streets ‘safer for parents and disabled people’ have been unveiled by the government – with a new consultation to look at options including a ban.

Transport Secretary Grant Shapps announced he will ‘crack down on pavement parking’ and that the 12 week consultation will explore options including how a national pavement parking ban could work, taking into account necessary exceptions, and extended enforcement powers for local authorities.

The government is set to consult on proposals in the summer which are designed to improve the lives of people with mobility or sight impairments, as well as parents with prams who may be forced into the road to get around parked cars.

The 12-week consultation will include options such as allowing local authorities with civil parking enforcement powers to clamp down on unnecessary obstruction of the pavement.

It will also consider how a nationwide ban on pavement parking enforced by local authorities might work, allowing for any necessary exceptions or designated spots for pavement parking where needed, and how a tailored approach may be required in rural and suburban areas which face very different challenges.

Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said: “Vehicles parked on the pavement can cause very real difficulties for many pedestrians.

That’s why I am taking action to make pavements safer and I will be launching a consultation to find a long-term solution for this complex issue. We welcome the

Transport Select Committee’s recent report and share their drive to tackle pavement parking and improve people’s daily lives.”

In 2019 the Department for Transport concluded a review which looked at the problems caused by pavement parking, the effectiveness of legislation, and the case for reform. It found that it was ‘problematic’ for 95% of visually impaired responders and 98% of wheelchair users.

The Transport Select Committee also recently conducted an inquiry into the issue, with the commitment to consult on proposals forming a key part of the Government’s response to its findings.

THREE men have been charged with affray following an incident near to Blue Anchor Pub, Aintree, on May 18 of last year.

Peter Bretland, 35, of Aintree Lane, Aintree, appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court on March 11 where he pleaded guilty to affray.

Appearing in the dock alongside him was David Bretland, 46, of Albany Road, Walton, who also pleaded guilty to affray and to possession of an offensive weapon at the Blue Anchor Public House car park, School Lane, namely a crow

bar. In addition, David Bretland, whose relation to Peter Bretland was not mentioned, was charged with dangerously driving a VW Caddy Van on School Lane, Aintree, which he pleaded not guilty to.

A third man, Paul Rudkin, 33, of Foxhunter Drive, Aintree, gave no plea to charges of affray and dangerously driving a Subaru Forester on School Lane, Aintree.

The magistrates sent all matters to Liverpool Crown Court where the three men were told to appear on April 8.

MOBILITY BATHROOMS AND ADDITIONAL TOILETS ARE OUR SPECIALITY The Grand National attracts tens of thousands of people.

Full refunds for those who were to going to attend Grand National Report by Henry James AINTREE’S 2020 Grand N ational, which was due to have taken place on April 4, has been cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The famous horse race is not happening as people are being urged to avoid social contact and where possible to stay at home.

The Jockey Club said in a statement: “The 2020 Randox Health Grand N ational Festival is cancelled due to the coronavirus.

“Following the Government’s new public health guidance regarding avoiding social contact and stopping non-essential travel, and its statement that emergency services are withdrawn from supporting mass gatherings from Tuesday, March 17, we have decided that it is no longer appropriate to stage the event.

“Please be assured that Aintree Racecourse oper-

ates a full refund policy in the event of any raceday not taking place.

“Refunds will be automatically processed within 14 working days. If you’ve booked hospitality, our team will be in touch shortly.”

Senior Jockey Club steward Sandy Dudgeon has said: “The Randox Health Grand National Festival was just three weeks away, and it’s very clear to us it will not be possible for the event to take place.

Public health must come first.

“We were working on a plan to stage the Grand National behind closed doors, given its importance to the racing industry and beyond – but following the new Government measures confirmed this evening to help to tackle the coronavirus outbreak, this is not a viable option.

“I know this is hugely disappointing news for the many people who work in our sport and the many millions who were looking forward to this year’s event, but very sadly these are exceptional times and this is the responsible thing to do.”

Coronavirus advice could leave me silenced!

I suppose it’s time I jumped on the coronavirus bandwagon - or perhaps I should say ‘bus’.

We are being told we should avoid large gatherings of people and public transport has loomed large in that connection but what if, like me, you use buses a lot, for work and for shopping?

I suppose you can select a seat the furthest away from any other passenger - until the next stop when the Law of Sod says a whole gang of suspect folk will board and sit all round your little selfquarantined area.

And for that matter, has any thought been given to the unhappy driver of the vehicle? He or she has perforce to speak to anybody getting on their bus.

Does the poor man or woman get danger money I wonder. I don’t know and I bet they don’t either.

Anyway, no-one that I’ve heard spouting about ‘self isolation’ had mentioned people like me - living alone (if you discount dogs Tina and Cinders who in any case increase the problem by selfishly demanding dog food each day which has to be purchased and carted home by guess who?)

Apparently I am ‘at risk’ by being 73 years old. I know I had a heart attack four years ago but no trouble since so hopefully I at least don’t qualify as having ‘underlying’ afflictions.

Someone on the radio was going on about how we all should keep an eye out for folk such as me.

Now there again I have a problem.

After my heart trouble I was pestered for a couple of weeks after I’d gone home by two no doubt well-meaning women who kept popping up to see how I was doing.

It ended after I put a note in my front room window (they’d peer through to see if I was OK if I didn’t get to the front door within seconds). Anyway, on this occasion I left this note which read “I’m not dead, I’ve gone shopping.”

And it worked! One more visit to tell me how much they had been amused by the note and never came again.

Mind you, it’s as well that I have some good friends (and neighbours) that I could phone if I was really poorly because the advice I listened to on the radio just now commented on how everyone’s connection to various social media made things that much more easy.

Already I’ve found multiple things, from cheap train tickets to mail catalogue items, for which you have to apply via the internet or else lose out.

Now it seems if you are not computer savvy (and I’m not proud that I am not) that’s your own silly fault and you can die gracefully on your own.

Indeed, if the flow of ‘Dog’ columns suddenly dries up it’ll be because of the coronavirus.

For since I could not use the bus to get my prose to Southport or to a friend’s home to put it on email, or even to get it to a ‘snail-mail’ box, I would effectively have been silenced.

And you at the back can stop mumbling “good thing too” as well!

I have a fridge-freezer full of food (I had that before the virus appeared). I have four unused bog rolls and might even buy another four (!) and I have three or four bags of various pasta.

The other day I was behind an elderly lady who had a dozen, two-litre plastic bottles of milk It wasn’t asses’ milk either but the ordinary cow variety. It struck me that by the time she’d stored that lot in her freezer there was probably very little room for anything else - like food for example.

Still, each to his or her own I suppose.

And there is one truly great advantage in being ‘elderly.’

Assuming we’re still alive and kicking this time next year, we oldies will be the first (perhaps the only) ones to get the vaccine jabs for free when they have finally managed to find one.

So who will be laughing then, eh?

David to run 1,000 miles in memory of his dad For his ‘Diamond Challenge’ he’ll take part in eight long distance races to raise funds for the Liverpool Bereavement Service Report by Tom Martin A RUNNER will take on the challenge of his life by competing in eight long-distance races and in doing so complete more than 1,000 miles in memory of his dad.

David Todd, 47, wants to raise money for the Liverpool Bereavement Service after he lost his father in 2017.

He said: “Back in 2017 I completed six half marathons in six consecutive weeks to raise funds for Bowel Cancer UK, but during the challenge I unexpectedly lost my dad and required the invaluable support of the Liverpool Bereavement Service to help me through it.

“They provide the only dedicated bereavement service for children and adults in Merseyside and are 100% reliant on charitable donations to continue their vital services, so I figured this was a great way to say thank you to them and raise some much needed funds for a good cause.”

What David is calling The Diamond Challenge, starting this month will involve taking part in eight long-distance races during 2020.

David explains: “I will take on the Chester 10k then head back to Chester in May to complete the half marathon then a week later compete in the Liverpool Rock n Roll Marathon.

“This is followed by six weeks of intensive training before attempting an ultra-endurance race in Leeds where I will attempt to run for 24 hours non-stop.

“I’ll have four weeks rest before undertaking another 24 hour endurance race on the Wirral followed by a return to Chester for the marathon in October.

David Todd.

“I then head over to Conwy in November to complete the half marathon up and over the Great Orme before finishing the challenge with the Aintree 10k in December.

“I will complete around 250 miles during the races and require about 600 training miles so then decided I may as well round it up to 1,000 miles.

“Since I first laced up a pair of trainers and hit the streets back in 2014 I have gone from an overweight couch potato to a run leader at city centre based Dockside Runners with multiple half marathons and marathons under my belt.

“But if I was going to raise funds then I needed to come up with something unique and tough and that’s where ‘The Diamond Challenge’ was born.”

Junction is now worse than before

Waiting in rain Port does bring vital jobs and prosperity to city region to see a doctor

I completely agree with letter from J Purcell in the Champion tilted ‘Junction redesign has hardly improved traffic flow’ regarding the change in the new road layout at the junction of Edge Lane and Fleetwood's Lane.

If that is what the ‘powers that be’ call an improvement they evidently need further training.

Considering the amount of time and money taken and inconvenience it has caused someone should be made to explain the reason it was allowed.

I would suggest that the person responsible is made to travel through the area, in peak hour times for the next 12 months and that would show them what a mess it is.

Re: letter ‘Port is not bringing prosperity to area.’

We are living in a me, me, me, society.

The letter writer needs to go back to school and pick a subject that has a module on economics.

Liverpool was built on the prosperity of the port at a time when there was far less regulation than today.

What do you think is in those big silos at Seaforth docks? Grain, to make bread that, you buy, and expect to be fresh and cheap.

Where do you think the scrap steel in Bootle Docks comes from, and goes to? It comes from stuff we as a throw away after, consuming it, often from abroad, that comes into the docks.

Are you telling me you have never taken any metal to the waste centre?

The steel is then shipped out to places like China, where it is sold as an export that helps our balance of payments and GDP, to pay for your schools and NHS. And the reason the ship owners pay such low

LT, Crosby.

wages to foreign workers is because consumers demand cheap goods.

The port also creates jobs and all the tax they pay goes towards GDP, to provide you with the roads, pensions and infrastructure.

As far as further developments are concerned. we only have to look at Liverpool’s World Heritage status to see why development has been restricted.

Pubs close down every day, for a number of reasons, and the Railway seems to be thriving.

If you think the Seaforth Arms is such a business opportunity, why don't you buy it. Oh I forgot making profit is a dirty word.

I have lived in Bootle, and now Seaforth, for ten years and have always accepted the docks as part of the landscape here, and have seen the prosperity that it brings to the city as a whole.

M Williams, Seaforth

I might sound a bit like Victor Meldrew, but I along with about twelve other pensioners recently stood outside of Maghull Health Centre about 7.45 am in the rain.

We were waiting for the doors to open at 8am.

I know the NHS staff do an excellent job and are most probably understaffed.

My complaint isn’t against them, but I can’t understand why patients can’t stand inside of the big foyer out of the wind and rain.

I along with others were there to book a doctor’s appointment.

It’s impossible to get an appointment by ringing the surgery, even though my wife and myself are both in our mid eighties.

We remember when we lived in Bootle and to visit a local doctor we just called at the surgery and waited to be called by the doctor.

In those far off days no one had their own telephones.

Pressure is on girl footballers Re: Article on young girls who want to join the club of Liverpool and England etc.

Everyone wants to play football and especially play for Everton or Liverpool or even play for England Unfortunately it is very, very hard to enrol because there are only so many places Wayne Rooney talks about pressure.

He needs to speak to those who have trained all their lives and are good but there are no places for them.

Handing in wallet much appreciated I would just like to thank a lovely couple who found and handed back my wallet early on Saturday morning in Crosby village by Greg’s bakery.

It was a very honest and lovely thing to do, much appreciated.

Simply block off Liverpool Road

Lydiate Lane urgently Raw sewage is being needs speed calming dumped on our coast Can someone from Sefton Council please address the speeding issues on Lydiate Lane in Thornton.

It needs speeding control management ASAP the amount of drivers that are speeding on the road is terrible.

It’s a serious accident waiting to happen I’ve seen drivers doing high speeds past Thornton Crem and by the Nag’s Head pub in particular where it is full of people crossing the road.

It is children and elderly

people who live on Lydiate Lane who are most at risk!

The road needs speed bumps and a 20mph zone installed for the safety of the people at once.

Lydiate Lane is a vital route for the people of Crosby it is used a lot day and night and careless drivers forget that people live on this road and it is very residential.

Speeding kills, slow down !

Concerned resident, Thornton

As a regular visitor to Sefton coastline for walks I've noticed a significant increase in waste on our beaches, sanitary towel's and other bio hazard waste.

Is it possible you could investigate how much raw sewage is getting released into surrounding rivers?

Sefton is covered by the Mersey, Ribble and Lune river's, possibly the Dee as well and I'm led to believe that water companies can release raw sewage into river's based on rain fall above 8mm.

We have seen some of the highest rainfall on record in the north west and I dread to think of the impact this has

had on the release of raw sewage into local river's.

Sefton Council appear to be attempting to improve services on our coastline.

This seems a waste if United Utilities are dumping human waste into the water.

Are there any independent figures for this release?

The local population should be aware of the impact this could have on swimmers, wind surfer's and dogs health when using the sea on our beaches.

Out for our weekly shop we pass through the Liverpool Road South – Dover Road junction / nightmare.

We do it once a week but feel sorry for the commuters sitting there morning and night five days a week.

Just a thought, Liverpool Road was blocked off for a few weeks, no problem!

If it was blocked off again and also Dover Road, as there are two ways out at the top end of the estate, and remove the traffic lights – problem solved – or am I missing something?

Gang stored drugs in sheltered housing A DRUGS gang who “caused significant threat and harm to the people of Sefton” have been jailed for a combined 27 years.

Eight men have been put behind bars after they peddled Class A and B drugs across Merseyside between June 2018 and June last year.

Liverpool Crown Court David Cunningham heard on Thursday, March 12 how they would store and supply drugs from a number of locations in the south of the borough, which shockingly included Sandon Lodge sheltered accommodation, in Seaforth.

They were caught in August 2018 when officers found £120,000 worth of drugs as well as a large amount of mixing agents and cash totalling around £14,000.

Police who were on patrol in Kirkstone Road N orth, in Litherland, searched a taxi and Luke Walsh, 26, of Cumpsty Road in Litherland, was arrested on suspicion of possessing cannabis.

His home address was then searched when police found cannabis, cocaine, paraphernalia and cash, which prompted an investigation leading to the further arrests of other gang members.

The eight men jailed are as follows: l Luke Walsh, 26, of Cumpsty Road in Litherland was sentenced to eight years in prison for conspiracy to supply Class A and B drugs l Ryan Boorne, 21, of Overton Close, Kirkby was sentenced to eight years in prison for conspiracy to supply Class A and B drugs l David Cunningham, 36, of Brownmoor Lane in Crosby was sentenced to four years and six months in prison for conspiracy to supply Class A and B drugs l Thomas Beverage, 19, of Outer Forum in Norris

Green was sentenced to three and six month in prison for conspiracy to supply Class B drugs and possession of mobile phones in prison l James Senior, 47, of Daley Road in Litherland was sentenced to three years and six months in prison for conspiracy to supply Class A and B drugs l Thomas Maloney, 32, of Hawthorne Road in Bootle as sentenced to 18 months suspended sentence for conspiracy to supply Class B drugs l Thomas Clucas, 22, of Benedict Street in Bootle was sentenced to 18 months suspended sentence for conspiracy to supply Class B drugs l A 16-year-old boy from Crewe, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was sentenced to 18 months suspended sentence for conspiracy to supply Class A and B drugs The gang members have been linked to an organised crime group from Merseyside, who were sentenced to a total of more than 60 years in prison in January.

Superintendent Graeme Robson, area commander for Sefton said: “They were blasé enough to gain access to local sheltered accommodation, and purchased items for their criminal business locally.

“Drug supply causes so much misery in our communities, so Merseyside Police will continue to target and dismantle organised crime groups at all levels, protecting communities affected and making the streets hostile places for criminals to operate.”

Hetty celebrates 100th birthday IT was a special birthday for a popular day care user from Bootle last week as she celebrated turning 100 years old.

Henrietta Thomber, who was born in Bootle, marked her special day with a regular visit to Choices Day Care Centre, in Waterloo, where she was given a warm welcome by staff.

Also in attendance was the Mayor of Sefton Cllr June Burns and Consort Paul O’Brien, and the group enjoyed a relaxing afternoon as Henrietta proudly showed off her letter from the Queen.

Henrietta, known as Hetty, was born in Bootle and came from a large family, being one of ten children.

She was a cleaner and supervisor for many years in Liverpool with Customs and Excise and later transferred to the Triad building.

Henrietta enjoying her 100th birthday with the Mayor of Sefton Cllr June Burns, Consort Paul O'Brien and friends and staff of Choices Day Care Centre

Her last job was in the same role with British American in Orrell Lane and she was with them until she retired at the age of 78.

Hetty has two children, eight grandchildren and nine great grandchildren. Her family told

the Champion she loves attending Choices and has made a lot of good friendships.

This year is also special for Choices, as the Waterloo day centre marks its ten year anniversary.

Martin Mere news

Boxing hares mark the arrival of spring The sun has been shining and daffodils have started to appear, spring is definitely in the air. Spring is a great time to see brown hares at Martin Mere. During March and April, hares can be seen having ‘boxing matches’ as well as leaping about and chasing each other. However, this isn’t two males fighting. It is often a female fending off the attention of a male during courtship. This behavior gave rise to the phrase ‘mad as a March hare’!

Brown hares are often seen on open arable farmland and grassland with sheltered areas of long grass. This is because unlike rabbits, hares do not burrow but instead they create shallow depressions amongst long grass known as forms. This makes the wet grasslands of Martin Mere a perfect habitat.

The brown hare is Britain’s fastest land mammal and although they are generally nocturnal and will spend most of their day hiding in a form, if they are disturbed you will be able to see them running at speeds of up to 45mph, often in a zig zag pattern, using their powerful hind legs to propel them forwards. One of the best places to see hares at Martin Mere is plover field, which is visible from the United Utilities hide. They can also be spotted from Ron Barker hide and from our new Gordon Taylor hide, which has views of woodend marsh.

Breeding of brown hares takes place between February and September; females can have up to four litters per year with up to four young per litter on average. The young are known as leverets and they are born in the open, with a full coat of fur and open eyes. Forms are used by the females to give birth to young, and the forms may be lined with fur which the mother plucks from her own coat. The female hare looks after the leverets on her own.

The brown hare is thought to have been introduced to Britain during the Roman times, but it is now considered a naturalised species. Brown hares are larger than rabbits; they have large powerful hind legs and their longer ears have distinctive black tips. The brown hare is protected in the UK under the Wildlife and Countryside Act, 1981 and they have a species action plan under the UK Biodiversity Action Plan.

If you’re visiting us over the coming weeks, be sure to look out for brown hares during your visit. Other mammals you could see in the spring include roe deer and even the occasional mole. Every Friday in March, we have two free guided walks per day. Join one of these walks to hear all about the history of Martin Mere and see what wonderful wildlife you can spot as you walk around the site.

The King and I was a ‘lavish production’ Review by Peter Rimmer

THE King and I was first produced in 1951, the year I was born, and it seems that I have been seeing photos of Yul Brynner for all of my life as everyone’s mum and dad seems to have a copy of the 1956 soundtrack album. There he was bare chested looking very dashing.

It was a massive selling album at the time and a walk round many a charity shop today will secure you a copy of the album.

Having said that I knew little of the story as I have not seen a live production before and even if it’s been on television I have not felt compelled to watch it, so I was interested to see why it has proved so popular for nearly 70 years.

It had songs like: I Whistle a Happy Tune, Getting to Know You, Shall We Dance and, of course, The March of the Siamese Children.

It’s a somewhat complicated story a widowed schoolteacher, Anna played by Annalene Beechey arrives in Bangkok with her young son, Louis, after being summoned to tutor the many children of King Mongkut (Darren Lee) who is troubled over rumours that the British regard him as a barbaric leader. Anna, of course, puts him on the right track and all ends well.

This lavish production at the Liverpool Empire, started with what seems like a full size boat sailing into port, surrounded by a very large cast of adults and children, setting the scene for some very good singing and dancing.

Starting with Whistle a Happy Tune it got off to a lively start.

With this show it was all about the exotic costumes and scene changes moving around the great palace that the king is so proud of. It lightly touched on darker subjects such as slavery, forbidden love, racism and sexism but never got too deep and there were plenty of laughs especially from Darren Lee as the King learning to dance and trying to understand the outside world.

The performance by all the leading players was first rate, but the ballet scene in the second half was a little over long for me. The production itself lasted nearly three hours.

The show, with a predominantly Asian cast, came from the London Palladium.

Tour of Bring It On The Musical heading to Empire Report by Henry James

AMBER Davies will star as Campbell alongside Louis Smith as Cameron in the upcoming UK and Ireland tour of Bring It On The Musical which will play the Liverpool Empire from Tuesday 8 to Saturday September 12.

Perhaps best known as the winner of ITV’s Love Island in 2017, Amber Davies made her professional stage debut in 2019 to critical and audience acclaim as Judy Bernly in Dolly Parton’s 9 to 5 The Musical at the Savoy Theatre and subsequently on the UK tour, including at the Liverpool Empire.

While training at Urdang Academy, her credits included Campbell in Bring It On The Musical and Downing in My Favourite Year.

Four-time gymnastic Olympic medallist Louis Smith shot to fame in 2008 when he won the first British gymnastic medal in 100 years at the Beijing Olympics.

Following his success at the London 2012 Olympic Games Louis later won that year’s BBC Strictly Come Dancing, before going on to win the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special in 2014.

On stage he has appeared in Rip It Up in both the West End and on tour.

Inspired by the 2000 film of the same name, Bring It On The Musical features an original score by the multi award winning creator of Hamilton, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Pulitzer Prize winning Tom Kitt, composer of Next To Normal. The book is written by the Tony Award winning writer of Avenue Q, Jeff Whitty and the lyrics are by both Lin-Manuel Miranda and writer of the stage adaptation of High Fidelity, Amanda Green.

Vanessa Fisher will be playing the role of Danielle. The cast is completed by Alicia Belgarde as Eva, Georgia Bradshaw as Nautica, Ayden Morgan as La Cienega, Samuel Wilson-Freeman as Steven, Chloe Pole as Skylar, Frances Dee as Kylar, Marvyn Charles as Twig, and Roshani Abbey, Jack Dargan, Matthew Dawkins, Jordan Isaac, Katie Lee, Gareth Moran, Biancha Szynal, and Zinzile

The cast of Bring It On The Musical

Tshuma.

Bring It On The Musical takes audiences on a high-flying, energy-fuelled journey which tackles friendship, jealousy, betrayal and forgiveness – wrapped up in explosive choreography and tricks.

Cheer-royalty and newly crowned Squad Captain, Campbell, should be embarking on her most cheertastic senior year at Truman High School.

When she’s forced to move to the neighbouring hard-knock Jackson High, Campbell fears her life

is over. But an unlikely friendship catapults Campbell back into contention with a powerhouse squad and the fire to achieve the impossible.

Bring It On The Musical is produced by Selladoor Worldwide, has a libretto by Jeff Whitty, a score by Tom Kitt and Lin-Manuel Miranda lyrics

by Amanda Green and Lin-Manuel Miranda.

Bring It On The Musical is inspired by the motion picture Bring It On written by Jessica Bendinger. Performed by arrangement with Music Theatre International (Europe) Limited.

Swallows and Amazons was ‘a credit’ to Dramatic Club’s young performers Review by Henry James

THE SDC ’s Youth Theatre performed the children’s classic Swallows and Amazons last week at The Little Theatre.

This story by Arthur Ransome follows the Swallows - John Walker (Guy Tatler), Susan Walker (Hannah Thompson), Titty Walker (Georgina Abram), and Roger Walker (Zac Rogers) who are in the Lake District on holiday and sail on their own to an island, and began a war with rival children called the Amazons. They are then accused of a crime they did not commit.

The Amazons were N ancy Blackett (Eleanor Backshall) and Peggy Blackett (Bethany Hill).

Mother was Megan Wagstaff and Captain Flint was Matty Higginson. Sam Ashton played a number of roles including: Mr Jackson, charcoal burner, pirate and the policeman. Andrew Leach was also a charcoal burner, Polly and a pirate.

The play highlighted what it is like to be a child during the summer holidays, and how young people are able to fill hours of time through play.

This was shown through the use of the song Boxes, which opened the play.

All the children, from the youngest to the oldest, performed expertly, and brought the scenes to life.

A scene from Swallows and Amazons

The director, Paul Wilkinson, had managed to get the best out of the young actors.

The show also had a good set, which used the whole stage, and a backcloth showed the area

where the children were playing.

This was an interesting two hours at the theatre, and a credit to the young people who were involved in bringing this show to the stage. 9/10

How about a pint at the Winchester?

FERRARI’S halted its production lines, Honda’s being asked to help make medical ventilators and the TT’s been called off. I would suggest going to The Winchester, having a nice pint and waiting for all this to blow over…but we’ve been told we’re not allowed any more.

Apologies for the rather doom ‘n’ gloom introduction, but it’s fair to say that the Coronavirus outbreak has hit the car industry particularly hard in the last weeks. Which is why I’m delighted that Rolls-Royce has decided it’s the ideal time to launch a new model that looks like it’s escaped from the set of The Great Gatsby.

There aren’t any official images yet – just a couple of arty, and no doubt slightly exaggerated, sketches – but essentially the chaps at Goodwood have taken the already rather showy Dawn, made it less practical, taken out the back seats and decided to charge a bit more for the privilege.

The less-for-more approach has already worked a treat for Porsche with the 911 GT3 RS, and at a (slightly) more affordable level, for Renault with the two-seater Megane Trophy R. In fact, Ferrari, when it

This is one of the few sketches that exist of the new Rolls-Royce model

is making cars, managed with the FXX to charge inordinately wealthy petrolheads for a vehicle they couldn’t use on any road or any race series. Surely Rolls-Royce, of all carmakers, is in a position to do something similar?

The Dawn Silver Bullet is based on the standard Rolls-Royce Dawn, but it’s been given a showier, two-seater body, which is going to be finished in what its makers say is an ‘ultra-metallic’, bespoke silver paint job. Apparently, it’s inspired by luxury roadsters from the 1920s and is targeted directly at ‘today ’s non-conformists and pleasure-seekers’. I can already picture the yachts and private jets in the brochure.

It’ll only be making 50 of them, and should you have a big enough Instagram following to be able to afford one then the idea is that Rolls-Royce will then come up with suggestions for soirées in the South

of France where you can lap up the sunshine with fellow Silver Bullet owners assuming any travel bans have been lifted by then, at least.

It’s hedonistic, expensive and completely out of step with a Britain that’s effectively been asked to shut up shop – which is why I can’t help but love it. It’s as in tune with the times as a sculpture made out of bog roll, but in these weird, topsy-turvy times it’s good that someone is still making cars clearly designed to go on children’s bedroom walls, that makes people smile.

It’s not even remotely sensible – but sometimes a car that’s entirely wrong is also entirely right.

Something to discuss down at The Winchester, anyway…

Bootle postpone match amid fears over coronavirus BOOTLE’S North West Counties League Premier Division match against Winsford United on Saturday was postponed after the club’s committee took the decision not to play the game as a health precaution for players, fans and officials over the coronavirus situation, writes Connor O’Neill.

The league management committee had allowed fixtures to go ahead in line with government advice but, just over three hours before the Bucks were due to take on their hosts at the Barton Stadium, the club released a

statement confirming that the game had been postponed.

The club released the following statement: “Following the club’s management and committee discussing the ongoing coronavirus situation, we have decided to call the game off.

“Bootle takes the safety of its staff, players, and spectators more importantly than any game of football and we feel at this time we should look after ourselves and return to the game as soon as it is safe to do so.

“Sorry for the late notice but hope you all understand.”

Late penalty condemns Remyca to defeat in seven goal thriller Charnock Richard 4 Litherland Remyca 3 A LATE penalty condemned Litherland Remyca to defeat against promotion chasing Charnock as both teams ended the match with nine men after a feisty encounter.

A crowd of 202 were in attendance for an entertaining clash on Saturday in a game full of goals.

Charnock came straight out of the blocks and scored on two minutes when a stray goal kick was picked up and an attack down the left saw the shot saved by Josh O’Connell but the ball fell to Grimshaw who side footed home to make it 1-0.

Remyca equalised five minutes later with a header from Einar White but just before half time, a ball into the box was not cleared properly and Darr was there to put Charnock ahead once again.

Remyca grabbed a deserved equaliser on 55 minutes, when a free kick into the box went right through to the back post and Michael White side footed home.

However, Phil Stafford’s side were behind again two minutes later, when the home side broke and a ball up to Grimshaw saw the ref give a foul against Michael White when he seemed to be standing his

ground. The free kick fired in after a deflection off the wall.

A late challenge on Casey Lee and a coming together after the tackle saw a red given to both Monaghan and Charnock player Bibby.

Remyca grabbed another equaliser on 72 minutes when White got his second of the game.

Then another game changing situation occurred, when a two footed tackle from Ross O'Farrell from Charnock saw a red card come out from the referee.

Remyca substitute Bradley Smart clashed with O'Farrell and was also shown red, so both teams were down to nine men.

Remyca were still pushing to get the win but were again undone when trying to pass out from the back as Ryan Grier passed to David Crist, who slipped and allowed Darr in on goal. The forward was brought down in the box for a penalty and Grimshaw stepped up and smashed it home to make it 4-3 with eight minutes remaining.

The game finished 4-3 to Charnock Richard in what had been an eventful match at Mossie Park.

The result leaves Remyca in 19th place following relegation rivals Hanley Town 3-1 defeat to Squires Gate.

Maghull battle back to draw Chester Nomads 2 Maghull 2 MAGHULL recovered from a two goal deficit to deservedly earn a share of the points in their rearranged West Cheshire First Division encounter at high flying Chester Nomads last Saturday.

Two goals down at half time Joe Burns’ side produced an impressive second half performance and

thanks to goals from skipper Elliot Toner and man of the match Charlie Taylor they levelled matters against a very good Chester outfit.

At Cheshire Lines, Maghull Reserves paid the penalty for a slow start in their Second Division match and fell two goals behind but 16 year old Billy Steele netted his first goal for the senior side and earning the man of the match award.

Jamie Rother scores the late winner for Ramsbottom. Picture by Paul Moran.

Teams face long lay-off as sport set for lockdown Marine 0 Ramsbottom United 1 MARIN E played what could be their last match for a lengthy period of time on Saturday with the Northern Premier League suspending all fixtures until further notice due to the escalating coronavirus crisis.

The N PL decided that last weekend’s matches could go ahead in line with the government’s advice that sporting events should be allowed to continue so Marine played and a crowd of 677 was present to see two of the division’s promotion chasing sides lock horns.

And the game proved a blow to Mariners’ promotion hopes as they conceded a late winner against rivals Ramsbottom.

A 88th-minute strike from Jamie Rother saw Ramsbottom take all three points from the top of the table clash at the Mar-

ine Travel Arena..

The expected fireworks from the respective sides were lacking fizz in the opening stages as goalkeepers Daniel Atherton and Tom Stewart were left with little work to do as both defences stood firm.

On 30 minutes Marine had a penalty appeal turned down when, after turning towards the goal, Niall Cummins met an ambitious forward ball and was caught by Kelvin Lugsden. Referee N ik Storey was not be won over by the appeals from the home players or supporters.

On a rare chance going forward, the visitors could have taken the lead. Iyrwah Gooden almost capitalised on a defensive slip-up before Atherton was able to clear the danger.

The second half was a sharp contrast to the first with both sides playing free-flowing football and looking dangerous

whenever they went forward.

The half began with Ramsbottom carving out what seemed to be the best chance of the game. Gooden found himself one on one with the Marine goalkeeper yet despite lifting the ball over his head, Mariners left-back James Joyce produced a goal-saving block to steer the ball wide of goal.

As the game slowly started to open up, Marine created a good chance. Splitting the Rams defence, Kengni was left with an open goal on the edge of the box only to misfire the shot wide.

As the game was heading towards a stalemate, Ramsbottom worked the ball to the by-line where Cooper’s cut-back found Rother who held his nerve and placed the ball into the far corner of the net. The away side sat back for the final minutes of the game and managed to hang on for the win.

Waterloo edged out by Bowden Bowden 27 Firwood Waterloo 23 THE home side adapted better to the strong breeze and scored within the first five minutes.

The magnificent Firwood Waterloo front five began to dominate the scrum but this did not lead to them taking control of territory as they spent long periods camped in their half.

Incisive running lines from scrum half Luke Clifford changed this to take play into the home 22 and they were awarded a penalty. The kick was narrowly missed, but from a resulting scrum the forwards pushed to the line and released Clifford to score the first try.

Play then became a tight midfield contest and Bowdon were awarded a penalty for holding on and took play deep into ‘Loo’s 22. From the line out they worked the ball over the line for

Clare House, 166 Lord Street, Southport PR9 0QA

01704 392 392

their second try, the conversion attempt went over after hitting the upright.

The seven point cushion gave Bowdon greater confidence in their play with good running and handling.

The boys in myrtle struggled to cope giving away many penalties, but the score at half time remained 14-5.

Firwood Waterloo showed more attacking intent from the start of the second half and added a penalty from the boot of Daragh O’Brien, but Bowdon kept the scoreboard ticking with a penalty score of their own to maintain their margin.

Loo pressed and had territorial advantage but changes in personnel allowed the hosts to gain scrum superiority and they extended their lead with a penalty kick.

Fine running by Dom Coe took play deep into Bowdon’s 22 and following phases of attacking play it was Coe

www.champnews.com

who scored the visitors’ second try.

Loo’ continued pressing forcing Bowdon to concede penalties, O’Brien taking his side to within four points.

Another run from deep, this time by Charlie Horrocks gave a platform for the forwards to grind out the centimetres towards the line, for Joe Bowmer to score and O’Brien to add the extras.

Bowmer had to leave the field shortly after with an elbow injury.

Firwood Waterloo were in the lead for the first time with five minutes of the match remaining to the delight of the travelling faithful who had loyally recreated Boozer’s bank.

Bowdon were not to be outdone and from a catch and drive from a lineout close to ‘Loo’s line they scored a matchwinning try, adding the conversion.

The result drops Firwood Waterloo to fifth place in the league with eight points separating the top seven teams.
