Nan funds garden for hospital that saved her life

Specialist police help in search for missing man AN extensive search is being carried out for an elderly man from Aintree who has been missing for several days.

Peter Kerevan, 76, was last seen at home at around 8.30am on Monday, July 29.

He was captured on CCTV images later that morning on Wango Lane.

He was also seen at around 3pm the same day outside Maghull Chiropodists near the junction of Sefton Lane and Liverpool Road, and officers are focusing their search on those areas.

Specialist police officers have conducted searches of areas where he likes to walk.

Members of the public have also been assisting the search but despite a number of reported Peter Kerevan. sightings since, he has not been located.

Mr Kerevan was wearing a short-sleeved dark blue shirt and carrying a dark-coloured cardigan. He was also reportedly wearing blue jeans and brown shoes when he was last seen.

He is around 6ft tall, of slim build with short grey hair and had stubble when last seen.

Detective Inspector Paul Gillies said: “As well as making enquiries with places and people known to Peter throughout his life, we have focused our efforts since his disappearance on the areas where he is fond of walking.

“This has included specialist trained officers on foot methodically searching areas around the canal, where Peter would often walk the towpath.

“Community Police and the Marine Search unit have also been involved, and I would like to thank all the members of the public who have given their own time to the search. I know his family are extremely grateful.

“We have received a number of reported sightings since Peter went missing, all of which have been followed up as a matter of urgency, and we are encouraging anyone else who may have seen him to contact police so that we can fully investigate them.”

Anyone who believes they may have seen Peter should call 101, or DM @MerPolCC or if you see now him call 999.

One neighbour said: “I heard this happen around 1am. A massive bang followed by tyres screeching.

Nursery ’s ‘bunny hop’ raises £7,000 to fund three life-saving defibs NURSERY children and staff raised £7,000 through a sponsored bunny hop to raise funds for life-saving defibrillators at three sites in Maghull and Aintree.

The Bumbles Nursery chain organised a sponsored bunny hop while owners Angela and Steven Makinson donated the remaining amount needed to have a defibrillator set up in each of their three nurseries, to fund a defibrillator at each of its three sites.

He said: “It is always good news when new defibrillators are installed.

“These devices save lives. If a child or adult is having a heart attack, a defibrillator can massively impact on their chances of survival.

“Well done to all the children, parents and staff at Bumbles Nursery for working so hard to raise the necessary funds.”

The children spent the afternoon of the MP’s visit practising first aid and talking about the use of the defibrillators.

The nursery will continue to raise funds towards the upkeep of the defibrillators to have them regularly maintained.

Play area vandalised by gang of yobs hours after it opened Council slam ‘ yet another mindless act by local youths who are ruining the parks other people want to enjoy’ Report by Kenny Parker A NATURAL play area in Glenn Park, Maghull was vandalised by a gang of youths just hours after it was put in place.

Maghull Town Council chiefs called it “yet another mindless act of vandalism” as it follows a string of similar recent incidents.

As previously reported in the Champion, council officials agreed to utilise felled trees to create a play area comprised of log beams and stepping stones to enhance the park offer for children, from toddlers to teenagers.

But a mere four hours after staff had completed works, the play area was vandalised with beams being smashed, stepping The play area after it was vandalised and set on fire, main picture and left, and as it should look, inset right. stones knocked over and the area set alight.

‘Boredom is no excuse’ says council leader MAGHULL Town Council leader Patrick McKinley said boredom was no excuse for youth to vandalise parks whIch council Staff had worked hard to improve for people to enjoy.

He said: “I share the disappointment and frustration of our staff, who have worked tirelessly over the passed months to improve every park across the town.

“These efforts are bearing fruit as residents are now feeding back that parks have never looked so good.

“However, a minority element seems intent to undermine this work – their only justification being boredom.

He added: “Officers will shortly implement the recommendations of council’s Parks Maghull Town Council Review, which will leader Patrick McKinley see significant investment in our parks to make them look their best and to enhance their offer.

“I only hope this mindless minority – who justify acts of vandalism with the excuses of ‘We’re bored’ or ‘There is nothing for us to do around here’ see the consequences of their actions, and refrain from behaving in such ways in the future.

“The local offer and opportunities for youths are freely available – and I would suggest that they use their energies to investigate what is available to them, as opposed to ruining parks which are there to be enjoyed by all.”

“Boredom” can never justify vandalism, and where evidence can be obtained, we will actively pursue prosecutions with Merseyside Police.”

Weight-loss Consultant Sue Culligan is celebrating after being recognised for the exceptional work she does to support people in West Liverpool to achieve their dream weight. She was one of around 150 high-achieving Team Developers from across the UK and Ireland invited to Slimming World’s ‘Team Developer Thank Y��������������������� in Derbyshire. Attending the event is extra-special this year as Slimming World is celebrating it’s 50th golden birthday year*.

Sue, a Consultant in the Slimming World Hub in Maghull was invited to the event after being recognised by the company as a leading Team Developer. This means that as well as running her own weight-loss group, she is doing an outstanding job of supporting other Consultants in West Liverpool to ensure excellent service to slimmers right across the area. And, as part of the day,Sue, who became a Team Developer after she graduated from the Slimming World Academy in March 2018 was invited to discuss best practice and share her ��������������������������� vice.

They were also treated to a healthy banquet at the company restaurant.

Sue says: “It was a real honour to be invited to the special day at Slimming World HQ, and in Slimming World’s golden birthday year it feels extra-special! The day itself was so inspirational from star������� o have had the opportunity to meet and share ideas with other top-performing Consultants and managers was an experience I’ll never forget. I left Derbyshire brimming with ideas and raring to get home, and there’s no doubt the insight will enable me to improve the support I give to other Consultants in the area, so that anyone who attends Slimming World in West Liverpool, including the members who attend my Slimming World group each week, get the very best possible service and support to achieve their weight-loss dreams. It’s great to be able to tell people in Maghull, Lydiate, Kirkby & Aintree that they have some of the best Slimming World groups in the UK and Ireland on their doorstep.

“Being recognised isn’t just a triumph for me but also for thehundreds of members and thier Consultants in the West Liverpool groups. They’re the ones who make each group the success it is, with their fabulous energy, the warm welcome they give to new members and the wonderful compassionate support they show to each other every week. That’s as well as their impressive weight losses while following Slimming World’s Food Optimising eating plan and getting more active, of course. They’ve lost an icredible amount of weight this year, and each week as members lose weight I see them ���������������������������� becoming more active, trying out new foods and recipes, ����������������������������� always dreamed of. Members who arrive at group with their self-esteem at rock bottom start to hold their heads high and stand tall as they lose weight successfully and are encouraged and supported to make changes by the rest of the group.”

Like all Slimming World Consultants, Sue lost weight, 7 1/2 stone, at a group herself and so knows just how valuable group support can be. Consultants receive in-depth training from the Slimming World Academy to help give their members the support they need to make long-term changes to improve their health and wellbeing as well as passing their new habits ion to their family. Training includes the role of diet and activity in weight management. Crucially, it also includes training in how to help members to lift the guilt and shame they may feel as a result of struggling with their weight and help them to form healthy lifestyle habits. To join Sue’s groups which are held every Thursday at 5pm & 7pm and Fridays at 9.30am and 11.30am or to enquire about any of the 12 sessions held at Cheshire Lines, Sefton Lane, Maghull, either pop along or give Sue a call on 07957 531346. *T���������������������������� Celebration visit www.slimmingworld.co.uk/golden

Liverpool could be a ‘free port’ again LIVERPOOL could return to ‘free port’ status for the first time in seven years after the government revealed plans to create up to ten across the UK after Brexit.

Free ports allow firms to import goods and then re-export them outside of normal tax and customs rules.

In the 1980s, Margaret Thatcher’s government created free ports in Liverpool, Birmingham, Belfast, Cardiff, Prestwick and Southampton, but David Cameron's coalition government stopped renewing their licences in 2012.

Although the announcement from Boris Johnson revealed plans to create up to ten across the UK, no locations have been given at this early stage.

It has already led to some criticism and Labour claims no new investment will be given to the cities involved and it could attract money launderers and tax dodgers.

Free ports are designated areas where the normal tax and tariff rules of the country in which they are based

do not apply.

They allow goods to be imported, manufactured and re-exported without being subject to checks, paperwork, or import taxes, known as tariffs.

This means raw materials can be imported, then engineered into whole products for export.

Shadow international trade secretary Barry Gardiner criticised the plan.

He said: “It is a race to the bottom that will have money launderers and tax dodgers rubbing their hands with glee.

“Free ports and free enterprise zones risk companies shutting up shop in one part of the country in order to exploit tax breaks elsewhere, and, worst of all, lower employment rights.

“The British people did not vote for this new administration and they certainly did not vote to see their jobs and livelihoods threatened in favour of gifting further tax breaks to big companies and their bosses.”

Crosby used to be beautiful - now our town is a disgrace

Park House is not the only heritage site which is at risk

Has anyone else noticed how scruffy Crosby/Waterloo have become?

When I was a kid the roads were swept weekly, bins were collected weekly, and we had full time police, fire and ambulance stations.

We also had two libraries and beautifully kept parks.

I spent all my school holidays in Victoria Park, which had a park keeper and deputy, a team of gardeners and greenhouses to grow the plants in.

It was spotless and beautifully kept.

Nowadays I won’t go in there because of the drug activity.

I share the concern over the possible demolition of Park House in Waterloo Park.

However, I would like to draw your readership's attention to the condition of three other heritage assets in Waterloo.

Park Terrace, also in Waterloo Park, is in a terrible state - some of the original stained glass is now lost.

The Waterloo Seafront Gardens, laid out in the 1930s by local men to give them employment, continue to decline.

St John’s Church, at the end of St

My husband takes our dog in.

He said it’s an absolute disgrace - weeds and brambles everywhere, dead trees, and no flowers.

The roads are never swept, and the pavements are knee high in weeds and grass.

We have no police or ambulance station, no park keepers, one library has closed and if you look at the police crime site, most cases are closed without anyone ever being caught.

The borough is a disgrace.

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

John’s Road, which has adorned the township since the 1860s, looks in a poor state - there are holes in the roof.

It is difficult to believe that both Park Terrace and the Seafront Gardens lie within conservation areas and that St John’s is actually a listed building.

All three of these sites should be being better cared for than they are at the moment.

Maggots in my food waste caddy One explanation for the letter writer from Aintree regarding non-use of food waste recycling is that, twice, I have had maggots in my garden caddy.

One wouldn’t think flies could get into a locked bin kept in the shadiest corner of my garden but they manage it, leaving dozens of maggots.

Another explanation is that, as in this week, the food waste was not collected when due to be.

I am now not going to save the orange peel, banana skins and potato peelings until the end of September!

Cyclists should stay off the pavements

pic

Councillors and police urgently need to get to grip with the scourge of anti social cyclists who persistently miss-use pavements which are provided for pedestrians to walk in safety.

The situation is totally out of control and it is unacceptable that it has been allowed to get to such a dangerous state, or that it should be allowed to continue without prosecution.

Cyclists illegally speed along pavements, through red lights, and weave in and out of pedestrians and traffic.

Pedestrians come first, cyclists belong on the roads so let us see the law enforced.

Cycling on pavements is illegal, dangerous, ignorant and selfish.

NHS staff needed if more homes built So 1,696 new homes are to be built in Maghull!

I notice there may “possibly ” be a health centre.

As a resident of Maghull it is very difficult and frustrating trying to obtain a GP appointment.

We are ‘triaged’ by reception staff and told if a GP is needed you will be contacted by the end of the next working day!

It can take between two or three weeks to wait for an appointment. I can see that stretching to four or five weeks with extra housing without an infrastructure to support it.

With the national shortage of GPs and medical staff, a stipulation of the application should be the provision of NHS staff in place Before the project goes ahead!

Festival should be held at another site in future The Waterloo Festival should be sited elsewhere.

It could be based on parks in the area and even Burbo Bank because if they continue to go back to the one site it will be ruined for good.

We have a beautiful coastal park where families picnic, children run around, people walk their dogs and it is free.

To allow a fair on this with heavy machinery that destroys the ground and it will every year especially when it rains, is ludicrous.

It is very clear how considerable the damage is.

People leave their homes to go away for the weekend because of the noise.

Why should they?

They are the ones who contribute to the rates so we can have this beautiful coastal park.

I am not a party pooper, I love to see children enjoy themselves but it has to be elsewhere to save the coastal park.

Please Sefton Council, allocate the Waterloo Festival somewhere else because if not this park will be destroyed forever.

The festival organisers now say they want a bigger and better Festival for 2020.

Well please go elsewhere with it and let us have our park back!

500 pedestrians killed each year The recent letter about the South Road traffic lights really misses the point.

I suggest the next time that letter writer find themselves waiting at a traffic light they consider this.

More than 500 pedestrians are killed in the UK each year by motorists.

Many more are injured.

Of course some deaths are accidental, mechanical error.

But most are driver error.

Being a pedestrian is becoming more dangerous by the day.

Cyclists on the pavement fly pass you with reckless abandon.

Headphones on, phone in hand, texting. Motorists and cyclists routinely treat amber lights like green and red lights like amber.

There are some kind and thoughtful motorists and cyclists out there.

But to all I say be patient, be caring, be kind.

Auditions to find actor to play Jesus

Politicians should try to boo less and listen more MORE or less throughout my working life I have taken a particular interest in government, both national and local.

I started straight from school on a local newspaper, moved to another one - and then was ‘head hunted’ (for the only time in my life) and offered a job on the house newspaper of Pilkington Brothers, the glass people.

That was as far away as I ever got from politics for my immediate boss in my next job - with BT in Colchester - was not only a local councillor himself but just after I left became Mayor of the town and a little later its MP. We always got on well together - though our political allegiances were different - and my predecessor took a job on the local evening newspaper and we had regular meetings after work.

Then I came back home to Maghull and immediately took an interest in the local political scene.

And one aspect of politics in general - from Westminster through to the most humble parish council - which increasingly worries me is the role of 'the opposition' in whatever level of government you choose to look.

Now fine, the idea of having opposition parties with different views on what should or should not be done is a very good one, generally speaking.

But it seems to me that at times opposition seems to mean opposition to anything the ruling party says - particularly at Westminster but also sometimes even down to local councils too.

I remember several years ago attending a council meeting where some suggestion was put forward by the leader of the ‘opposition.’

After the meeting some of the councillors from the ruling party adjourned to a bar for sociable drinks and chat - and I joined them.

One of their colleagues turned up later (he’d been to a meeting elsewhere) and was told by his chums what this opposition councillor had suggested.

He said: “Oh well, if HE suggested whatever, we will oppose it.”

And that really upset me. As I said, I cannot remember what this suggestion was, but it was a reasonably good idea and surely worth consideration.

To give them their due, the councillors already in the bar looked daggers at the newcomer.

But things like this happen on a regular basis in the House of Commons.

Sometimes I get the impression many MPs really do not listen to what a member of an opposing party had to say before setting up a braying opposition like unruly school kids.

One of these days I hope will hear the Leader of the Opposition listen carefully to what the Prime Minister is saying and reply: “That’s a jolly good idea - perhaps it could be improved by ....”

MPs must realise that not everything their party suggests is necessarily good, or that ideas from another side of the House might indeed be a better way forward.

There is far too much yah booing and not nearly enough listening in Parliament - and this applies to city councils and to lesser extents the further down the political ladder of government you go.

What politicians at every level should remember is that they probably have little real knowledge of many of the important issues they are discussing yet making decisions which will greatly affect the country/town or village they represent.

What do most ordinary folk (that’s you, me and you councillor or MP) know about running a railway, or making drains work, or organising and equipping the armed forces apart from reading some article which happened to agree with their own prejudices?

Listen more and chatter less might be a good idea.

AUDITIONS will be held in Bootle to find an actor to play Jesus Christ in what is believed to be Liverpool's first ever outdoor live retelling of the Easter story.

In Another Place, who were behin dthe awardwinning Alice Experience and Narnia Experience in St George’s Hall, willput onthe special performance in the city centre inApril.

Early cast members confirmed include Dean Sullivan, best known for playing Jimmy Corkhill in Brookside, who is signed up to play Pontius Pilate and Bishop Paul Bayes who will play Barrabas.

In Another Place have now turned their attention to casting Jesus, and auditions will be held in the Strand Shopping Centre on Thursday, August 15 for an experienced male actor aged 25 to 40.

Council failing to meet housing target Number of homes built in Sefton in three years up to March 2016 was well short of the 1,564 due to be delivered Report by Tom Martin SEFTON Council is failing to meet strict housing targets set by the government and must now put together an ‘Action Plan’ to address the shortfall.

The local authority was subjected to a recent Housing Delivery Test to see if they were able to hit a target of overseeing the construction of 1,564 houses between April 2015 to March 2018.

The government sets each council a 95% ‘pass’ target but Sefton fell well short only delivering 995 houses, only 64% of the target amount.

The council must now produce a Housing Delivery Action Plan to rectify this.

Despite this outcome, Sefton Council believes its Local Plan, which identifies how land is used and

Sefton failed a Housing Delivery Test

what could be built in certain locations, is “given an opportunity to work.”

A report published by the council states: “It is not considered that there is a particular issue for the council in housing delivery and the main message is that the Local Plan needs to have the opportunity to

work and deliver the housing that Sefton needs.

“However, regardless of whether the council exceed the 95% threshold of delivery in 2019, it is recommended that a Housing Delivery Action Plan is carried out annually to monitor the effectiveness of the Local Plan and the actions within this housing delivery test.

“If future issues are identified the council can, with other stakeholders, produce more targeted actions.”

The government sets a yearly target of 501 houses for 2015/16, 501 houses for 2016/17 and 563 houses for 2017/18.

Sefton Council say the 64% outcome is largely because for the 2015/16 period they recorded -181 houses due to demolition works.

The report continues: “A 64% delivery rate is falls well short of the expected delivery for the borough.

“This kind of figure may appear to be worrying.

However, a couple of factors need to be considered.

“Firstly, two of the three years were pre-Local Plan adoption years. It was recognised when preparing the Local Plan that there were not sufficient housing

sites available and the Local Plan proposed and brought forward 47 housing allocations to address this issue.

“The Local Plan being adopted in April 2017 was the main action that was required to improve housing delivery within the borough.

“The sites are starting to come forward and it is expected that housing delivery will increase.

“Secondly, when looking closely at the figures, the first year of the three (2015/16) has a net completions figure of -181 and is the sole reason for failing to meet housing delivery.

“This was due to planned large scale demolitions connected with the successor programmes to the Housing Market Renewal Initiative and Registered Providers demolishing obsolete tower blocks.

“No large-scale demolitions are anticipated over the next few year and so the low figure from the 2015-16 year are not expected to be repeated.”

Across England, the Housing Delivery Test concluded that 109 planning authorities missed the pass rate – around a third of the total.

Charity seeks youth consultants to help understand interests of young people A CHARITY in Sefton is inviting young people who live in the borough and want to improve life in their local community to apply for key roles as youth consultants.

Sefton CVS wants to appoint new members to its team of Young Advisors, who help local organisations to understand the interests of young people, and how to get their message across to them in a more youth-friendly way.

In this paid position for 15 to 21-year-olds, the Young Advisors are trained to speak out for young people, to ensure their thoughts and feelings are

considered when decisions are taken that affect them.

They also help organisations to ‘youth proof’ the way they operate, and to attract and maintain the interest of young people in their work.

Major research and consultation projects carried out by the Young Advisors in the past have focused on issues including youth mental health, child sexual exploitation and how to tackle anti-social behaviour.

Jo Lee of Sefton CVS, who manages the project, said: “Becoming a Young Advisor is a great way for a young person to make a real difference

to life in their area. They will work alongside local services and businesses, and influence the way services are designed and delivered in the borough.”

Young Advisors can work flexible hours - to accommodate other commitments such as school, college or university – and are paid £8 an hour.

The deadline for applications is Friday, September 27.

For more information ring Jo Lee on 0151 920 0726 ext 224 or 07850 328022 or email at joanne.lee@seftoncvs.org.uk.

Application forms can be downloaded from the Sefton CVS website.

Blood cancer support group launched ANYONE who is affected by lymphoma, a type of blood cancer, is invited to attend a new support group on Wednesday evenings.

Lymphoma Action, the only charity in the UK dedicated to this particular type of blood cancer, is launching a new support group on Wednesday, September 4 from 6pm7.30pm at Parenting 2000 on Mornington Road in Southport.

Lymphoma is the fifth most common cancer in the UK, Volunteers at Mencap Cottage House.

Volunteers give garden much-needed revamp Report by Tom Martin

VOLUNTEERS from a scheme run from Bootle Community Fire Station gave a much-needed revamp to a charity’s garden.

A team of eight youngsters from the Prince’s Trust, based in Bootle, offered a helping hand to Mencap Liverpool & Sefton by giving their garden in Waterloo a new look.

Firstly, they had to buy materials and equipment, so raised £400 with a bag pack at Asda’s supermarket in Aintree.

For the three weeks that followed, they worked alongside members of Mencap Liverpool & Sefton, who are all adults with a learning disability, spruce up the garden at Mencap Cottage House, on Mariners Road.

Marie Morgan, Prince’s Trust Team Leader, said:

“The young people have not only done a fantastic job, working together as a team, but they all came out their comfort zone in many different ways and achieved something they thought they couldn’t do. I am so proud of them all.”

Sarah Jones, CEO of Mencap Liverpool & Sefton added: “We are all about building connections between isolated people with a learning disability and their local community, and this garden is a real testament to the beauty of local organisations working together.

“Thanks to the team at the Prince’s Trust, our members now have a beautiful garden where they can relax, play sports and socialise – all of which are hugely beneficial to their mental and physical health and well-being.”

The Prince’s Trust are recruiting for the next Team Programme, which starts on Monday, September 9.

Anyone who is interested in taking part should call 07837 655 627.

with a new case diagnosed every 27 minutes. Lymphoma Action wants everyone affected to receive the best possible information, support, treatment and care.

Hosted by Karen Bonell, regional development manager at Lymphoma Action, the group will meet on the first Wednesday of alternate months.

The support group is open to anyone affected by a diagnosis of Hodgkins or nonHodgkins Lymphoma or

chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) from across North Merseyside or West Lancashire.

You don’t have to be the person diagnosed in order to attend; friends, family members and colleagues of people with blood cancer are all welcome.

Anyone interested in attending can contact Karen on 07710 393 891 for an informal chat or for more information, visit lymphomaaction.org.uk

Martin Mere news

Get up close to bugs with pond dipping at Martin Mere This summer at Martin Mere we’re celebrating all things bugs. One of the best ways to see bugs up close and to learn all about the amazing critters is by going pond dipping in our new Pond Zone. We have four raised dipping ponds have been built with insects in mind – they’re made out of more natural materials and all have aquatic plants to encourage bug life to thrive.

Alongside the existing natural pond at ground level and a netted cover preventing birds from accessing the water, the new ponds are already encouraging a wider range of insects and small amphibians, with newts having been found in a couple of the ponds already!

When you visit over the summer, head to the Pond Zone to see what amazing underwater life you can catch. We have everything you need to become a pond detective: trays, nets and identity charts, plus our friendly staff are on hand to answer any questions you may have.

Once you’ve caught some bugs, take them in to the

Pond Zone Pavilion to see your bugs in micro-detail.

We’ve got magnifying glasses, identity charts and special equipment so you can see the bugs in microscopic detail, including the toes of a newt, the skin pattern of a greater water boatman and the strong jaws of a diving beetle larvae! When you’re done, the bugs go back into the ponds where they continue to thrive. From seeing bugs up close through a magnifying glass to GIANT Bionic Bugs! There are 6 animatronic bugs around the grounds for you to find. Head to the Bug HQ to pick up a free activity book and set off into the wild on a bug-tastic adventure. There are 8 different bug-themed activities for you to complete, including a bug hunt in our mini-wood, crafts in our craft room and a watery bug trail at our canoe safari.

Get the family together and spend some time in the great outdoors this summer.

If you want a dog go to a rescue centre not a puppy farm say RSPCA Report by Tom Martin FAMILIES in Sefton who want to welcome a new dog into their home are being urged by the RSCPA to use a rescue centre instead of going to a puppy farm.

Many puppy farms can result in the animals living in unhygienic conditions that are overcrowded as breeders look to cash in and make hundreds or even thousands of pounds.

The RSPCA say there has been a huge increase in Merseyside of complaints to their 24-hour emergency hotline over puppy farms.

The animal charity say rescue centres have more advantages, such as healthier pets, it is more rewarding and there are too many unwanted dogs.

The RSPCA has urged locals to use rescue centres RSPCA dog welfare expert Lisa Hens said: “It is distressing that we are still seeing so any potential heartache caused by unwittingly buymany reports about puppy farms but part of this ing a dog from a puppy farm.

“After the RSPCA campaigned for years, the govincrease is probably due to people being more savvy ernment last year introduced tougher licensing about what to look out for when getting a pet.

“We know there’s a spike in people searching for regulations around the selling of animals -including puppies and buying dogs at the beginning of the breeding and selling dogs - which we hope will help school holidays but we’d urge families to carefully crackdown on this multi-million pound industry.

“The government has also committed to a ban on consider whether getting a dog is right for them.

“Dogs are a huge commitment and need lots of the third-party sales of puppies and kittens which, time and attention, even once summer is over and alongside tougher licensing conditions will also help to tackle puppy farms and dodgy dealers. the kids are back at school.

“However, we also need to educate the public to “If you do have the time and money for a dog then we’d urge you to consider rescuing instead of buy- ensure that they only buy puppies from responsible ing a puppy. Not only will this give a rescue dog a breeders who prioritise the health and welfare of chance at finding his forever home but it’ll also save their dogs over profit.”

Grieving mum wrote novel as way to cope with death of baby son ‘I use his name as a tribute because if it wasn wasn’t for him I’d never have started writing’ Report by Tom Martin

A GRIEVING mum from Litherland who lost her son two days after he was born has used the tragedy as inspiration to publish her first novel.

CCG given ‘requires improvement’ rating for fourth consecutive year Report by Tom Martin NHS South Sefton Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) has been given a 'requires improvement' rating for the fourth year in a row.

The local health service claims they have been through a “challenging year” and they say their ongoing financial position remains a problem as demand for services continues to grow in the south Sefton area.

The recent inspection was carried out

by NHS England’s annual Improvement and Assessment Framework (IAF).

Dr Craig Gillespie, chair of the CCG, said: “Despite being rated as ‘requires improvement’, it is encouraging to have so many aspects of our work praised by NHS England and to see we are doing well in key areas of health for our residents.

“We will continue to build on these

positives and look at those areas where we need to make quicker progress over the next 12 months, importantly ensuring that we continue to make improvements to our financial position.”

Despite the 'requires improvement' rating, NHS South Sefton CCG is one of the best performing in the country across a number of its key areas of work.

The assessment measures all CCGs against 58 performance indicators in areas ranging from leadership and sustainability, to cancer and dementia.

Results provide a benchmark for CCGs, so they can understand where they are doing well and where they need to do more in the year ahead.

NHS South Sefton CCG was awarded the highest rating for how well it engages local residents in its work, making it and neighbouring NHS Southport and Formby CCG the only two in Merseyside to receive the top ‘green star’ result.

The CCG achieved an overall rating of ‘outstanding’ for the quality of diabetes services.

Local cancer services ranked fifth best in the country for patient experience.

The results also recognised high survival rates of over 70% amongst patients one year on from their cancer diagnosis.

Additionally, the CCG was ranked amongst the top 25% in the country in the improving access to psychological therapies (IAPT) category.

Dr Gillespie added: “I want to thank all of our staff and member GP practices for the hard work they're doing to face these challenges and deliver improvements in care for our patients.”

Key areas of improvement for the CCG include supporting the improvement of Better Health metrics for services such as falls and antimicrobial resistance and Better Care metrics for services such as dementia, maternity, mental health and primary care.

Starts this week in the Champion...‘Scam Alert’! - find out all about the latest cons

STARTING this week, a new, regular column in the Champion will attempt to throw light on the scams that plague residents and hopefully help them steer clear of them.

‘Scam Alert’ is compiled by John Trotter from Sefton Citizens Advice.

‘I should like to begin by introducing myself and my work as a volunteer at Citizens Advice Sefton.

My ‘bag’ is Research and Campaigns and I am based in our Southport advice centre in Wright Street.

I am also involved with our Goddard Hall advice centre in Bootle. Our local CAB Research Team investigates consumer issues reported to us by our advisors. Our plan is to keep our Sefton residents in the picture on scams and our aim is to then give guidance on the best ways of dealing with scammers and phishers (senders of fraudulent emails).

First, some general information: If you feel that you have been scammed, or pestered with phishing emails, or had unbelievable offers at your doorstep then we advice you to contact your local Citizens Advice for free guidance. Citizens Advice Sefton has a general telephone service on 0344 493 0012, or you can visit either of our local advice centres. Opening days and times are shown on our website: www.seftoncab.org.uk/our-services.html.

Recent scam issues in Sefton l Unsolicited phone calls: This is a regular occurrence for many residents. Recently my wife and I were subject to a number of calls over a week starting with a ‘phantom voice’ saying what sounds like ‘This is M.C and there has been a transfer of funds from your account of £600. Press 1 to speak to us about this’.

Of course, as experienced anti-scammers we put the phone down. On the fifth call from this voice we were told ‘£600 has been transferred from your account to Nigeria. Press 1 to talk’. Again we put the phone down.

As we bank online and are daily aware of our bank accounts contents we knew that this was a false message. After a few hours I called 1471 and was given a number for that call. I tried the number on a couple of mobile phones and the number does not exist. (started with 0171).

We reported these events to Action Fraud via their website at www.actionfraud.police.uk. If this happens to you, do NOT press 1 to talk, do NOT call 1471 within 30 minutes of the call, as the line may still be ‘live’, and report the call to Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040 or online at www.actionfraud.police.uk l Universal Credit (UC): Citizens Advice Help to

Claim Team has been made aware of a number of instances where residents are being enticed by doorstep callers who claim to be providing government low interest loans, subject to the victims filling in a form and giving their personal details, including bank details and Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) or Job Centre information. This has resulted in fraudulent claims for Universal Credit and genuine claimants having their benefits stopped by DWP because of alleged fraud.

Our advice: The government does not provide loans on the doorstep. Do NOT agree to give any personal information to strangers who

approach you in the street or on your doorstep! Contact us or DWP for advice and help.

Be wary of following links in unsolicited emails or calls received from unknown contacts, and only give bank/credit card information to people and businesses that you know and trust. Citizens Advice scam advice is ‘STOP, REPORT, TALK’.

Stop before you give any personal information.

Talk about scams to seek help and reduce stigma. ADVERTISE YOUR Report the tell-tale signs of a scam.

ENTERTAINMENT War Horse is back in the saddle! Heart-tugging spectacle returns to stage The band in action

The Traveling Wilburys tribute act to perform much-loved classics THE Unravelling Wilburys – One Night Only will be held at The Atkinson in Southport later this month.

This brilliant tribute show, with tight as you like musicianship and tongue in cheek humour, will be held on Wednesday, August 21.

Just when they were about to make it to the big time, this band of good ol’ boys from Nashville, Tennessee had a whole bunch of songs (allegedly) stolen by Roy Orbison, Jeff Lynne (ELO), George Harrison, Bob Dylan and Tom Petty, under the late 80s ‘supergroup’ pseudonym The Traveling Wilburys.

Things were so bad after that, the real Wilbury brothers (Walter, Sticky Willy, Thumper, Honky Tonk and Blind Melon) resorted to dressing up as The Beatles, and spent over 20 years touring as "Sgt Pepper’s Only Dart Board Band".

After a lengthy legal battle, a Hazzard County judge ruled the boys could get back their true identity and hit the highway with all their old songs including: Handle With Care, The End Of The Line, The Devil’s Been Busy and Heading For The Light and many other great songs.

The Traveling Wilburys was formed from an idea discussed by Harrison and Lynne during the sessions for Harrison's 1987 album Cloud Nine, the band formed in April 1988 after the five members united to record a bonus track for Harrison's next European single The Atkinson show starts at 8pm.

Tickets are £20 (Concs: £17) plus booking fee online.

BECAUSE LIFE IS ABOUT SHARING

Review by Danielle Thompson War Horse Liverpool Empire THIS was a visually stunning performance led by Danny Hedrix, who was very believable as the lead, Albert Naracott.

12 years on from its premiere at the National Theatre, and three years after concluding a long run in the West End, War Horse is back.

The fine details that the production used for the horses struck me first, as they had lots of small, extra movements added to make it look as if they were breathing, shuffling their weight across their feet and flicking their ears.

It was a riveting performance that held your attention for the entire three hours but was very emotionally draining and left you feeling quite contemplative.

At one point the horses went into an ambush and as some of the horses obeyed the order to retreat (offstage) the production turned the remaining horses’ biggest weakness, the fact that they very obviously appear to be created in sections, was flipped around and turned into its greatest strength as they were dismembered by a shell, their torsos ripped from their legs in agonising slow motion.

The soldiers, made up at this point of dummies, were also torn apart, all coming to land in a crescendo of music and flashes of light.

The set used a clever device, what looked like a strip of parchment across the top, to show images related to the scenes, such as dates, locations, or to be used as a realistic backdrop. At one point it showed sheet rain coming down, which, teamed with sound effects, made it feel as if it was really raining.

The actor playing his friend David, Khalid Daley, had a strong local accent,

The design and movement of the horse wowed the audience

which made the audience really empathise with him and when he was killed by a shell, dying in Albert’s arms, the parchment backdrop showed red ink swirling, which was clearly evocative of blood pooling and afterwards, you could almost remember it as Albert covered in blood, the link was so cemented. Distracted by the dialogue, the blood slowly transformed into poppies, and as Albert stood up and started running (on the spot) these started to move, so you could really imagine him running through the famous poppy filled Flanders Fields.

I can’t share the ending, as it will spoil your enjoyment, but safe to say it was a riveting combination of on-the-edge-ofyour-seat tension and overwhelmingly emotional.

Joey ’s journey is one of love, from all of his handlers and owners and the way that he is used to fight for both sides used as metaphor to demonstrate that really they are all sharing the same experience.

At one point, Joey is accidentally set

free and runs around, terrified, jerking this way and that, while a torrential hail of bullets, bombs and debris flies ahead, shown on the parchment, accompanied by a very realistic sounding wall of noise.

A swirling montage shows in detail all the things designed to make you feel the most fear, including falling slabs of metal, barbed wire and nails raining down.

As Joey becomes helplessly entangled in the wire and cries out alone in fear and pain, it makes you really think about the suffering of the 1million horses that were sent to the war and makes it become very real to you.

Through this, you see the fear and helplessness of the men that were sent there too and the production uses these muchloved characters to bring home the searing futility of war and the devastating loss of the millions of men and animals from all over Europe who were killed.

Star Rating: Riveting and even made the audience cry – 9/10

TATE Liverpool is inviting artists from across the region to submit their ideas for an exhibition or project.

The scheme entitled Art North West offers the opportunity for one selected artist or artist collective to have their work represented at the internationally renowned art museum in spring 2021.

Artists currently living and working in the north west of England are invited to respond to the open call by September 10, after which time proposals will be longlisted by Helen Legg, director, and Tamar Hemmes, assistant curator, Tate Liverpool.

A panel of selectors made up of Helen and Tamar as well as Simeon Barclay, a Leeds based artist, Charlotte

Keenan, curator of British Art, Walker Art Gallery, and Linsey Young, curator of Contemporary British Art, Tate Britain will then make the final decision.

The chosen artist or collective will have 18-months to develop and ultimately present their project.

This is a unique opportunity for the successful candidate to have their artistic practice represented at Tate Liverpool, the most visited gallery of modern and contemporary art outside of London.

Helen Legg, director, Tate Liverpool said: “I have been struck by the thriving north west art scene that is cultivating exciting art and artists.

“We hope that this opportunity offers support and

continues to build on our relationship with this community, which has been fostered through artists’ breakfasts at Tate Liverpool and numerous studio visits.

“In the long-term I want this to demonstrate Tate Liverpool’s continued commitment to the region’s artists, encouraging them to continue to work here and also inspiring artists from outside the region to consider living and working in the north west.”

Tate Liverpool is looking for applicants who can demonstrate a serious commitment to their practice, evidenced in a strong body of work.

They should have at least five years exhibiting experience.

Applicants must be living and working in the north west of England to be eligible for consideration. Artists and artist collectives who wish to apply are asked to download the application form from www.tate.org.uk/aboutus/working-at-tate and submit it to opencall@tate.org.uk by 12 noon, September 10.

Helen Legg will also host three Information Sessions in venues across the north west of England for those interested in applying to ask questions and find out more. They will be taking place on Friday August 16, Thursday, August 22 , and Tuesday, August 27.

Times and locations to be confirmed, information will follow on the Tate Liverpool website.

Same goes for the 1960 MGA that becomes the venue, as opposed to a nearby parked up on the other side of Liverpool Road. playing field or pub car park, and I know it takes If you’re a small child who’s been brought up on a special sort of perseverance to make it happen. nothing but Kia Cee’ds then I can’t think of betterThere’s a great show in Prestatyn which has been looking example of what proper cars, with delicate curves, chrome bumpers and rumbling exhaust notes, look and sound like.

Bootle get best of Northern in low scoring game

Lancashire stars hail ‘ fantastic’ women’s set-up HIGHTOWN’S women and junior girls got to meet a couple of their cricketing heroes when Lancashire players Ellie Threlkeld and Laura Jackson dropped in on their training session.

The two Lancashire stars spent the evening with the players, assisting with coaching and offering their expert advice and guidance.

Hightown Hurricanes captain, Julie Allan, was delighted with the visit.

She said: “Both Ellie and Laura were fantastic ambassadors for Lancashire and women’s cricket and it was a brilliant experience for the players.

“Many of the women and girls were taking part in their first hard ball session, and Ellie and Laura were extremely impressed with the level of talent and application on show.”

Wicketkeeper Ellie, who also recently played for the England Academy side against Australia, tweeted afterwards: “Great fun at Hightown St Mary's CC ! Fantastic to see a local club with such a good women’s set-up!”

The Hurricanes will continue training and playing until September and will also be training indoors through the winter.

Anyone interested in taking part can contact 07795 440495 for more details.

Century for Ring in Maghull victory, Hightown collapse to defeat at St Helens MAGHULL are fifth in the Second Division table after a 135 run home win against bottom club Alder.

The hosts were asked to bat and cruised to 268-2 declared in 41.5 overs, thanks in the main to a magnificent century from opener Jon Ring (165 inc 32x4 & 2x6), 28 from Joe Campbell, plus 26 each from

Paul Walters and Anthony Molloy.

In reply, Mohammad Nawaz took 3-18 as the visitors were dismissed for 133.

Hightown St Mary’s lost a low scoring match at second placed St Helens by 14 runs.

The hosts were asked to bat and were dismissed for 125 with Jaidel Richardson top scor-

ing with 40, whilst Jim Kelly 425 and Alec McLoughlin 3-18 shone with the ball.

In reply, Jayden Schadendorf 46 and skipper Ben Ashcroft 21 helped the visitors to 92-4 before a collapse saw them crumble to 111 all out, with Richardson 6-35 and Liam Gaskell 4-21 taking all the wickets to fall.

FIRWOOD Bootle enjoyed a four wicket win against local rivals Northern at Wadham Road on Saturday in a match dominated by the bowlers.

Played in overcast conditions, only five batsman reached double figures in both innings.

Bootle’s Will Purser, with 5 for 27, Jhangir Liaqat, (3 for 13) and Scott Butterworth (2 for 23) dismantled Northern for a modest 69 after 31.3 overs with only Taylor Cornall, 12, and Jack Boardman, 20, put up some sustained resistance reaching the allusive double figures.

Northern then reduced Firwood Bootle to 5 for 2, with Daniel Houghton, 1 for 16, and Liam Grey, 2 for 33, doing the damage.

Will Hale, and Vishal Tripathi, with 17 a-piece, put Firwood Bootle back in control but both of them fell on 39, to Liam Grey caught by James Cole and run out respectively.

When Tomas Sephton removed Will Purser and Neil Williams, with the help of catches from Taylor Cornall and Tom Bailey, the game became interesting with the scoreboard on 44 for 6.

Mariners defeated in penultimate Bucks are denied pre-season match at Stalybridge an opening day win by visitors late goal Stalybridge Celtic 2 Marine 1

Bootle 1 Hanley Town 1 BOOTLE manager Joe Doran has bolstered his squad with four new additions but it wasn’t enough to help his side secure all three points in their opening game of the season.

The Bucks boss had secured the services of 14 of last season’s squad, with Daniel Brady and Chad Whyte also joining the club from Burscough.

But on the eve of his side's first game of the season, Doran further strengthened his side with four new additions.

Cameron Grant, a member of club's youth team, signed first-team forms, while both Tom Williams and Bram Johnstone put pento-paper after impressing during pre-season.

While the final addition was a familiar face,

with Ste Jones re-signing for the club after having a change of heart.

Jones had initially made the call to take a step away from football following the conclusion of last season, but following talks with Bucks boss Doran, the forward was back at the club and back in the squad for Saturday's opening league game against Hanley Town.

But despite coming off the bench with just 15 minutes to go, Jones could only watch on as the visitors rescued themselves a point in the dying stages.

Carl Peers had fired the Bucks ahead after just 17 minutes before Liam Loughlin went close to adding a second when his effort rattled off the underside of the bar.

But in the final minute of stoppage time, the Staffordshire-based outfit rescued themselves a point when substitute Jake Ashley Alcock headed past Jack McGovern.

Clare House, 166 Lord Street, Southport PR9 0QA

MARINE were defeated in their penultimate preseason friendly match against Stalybridge Celtic.

The Mariners took a strong squad with four trialists, three of whom were named as substitutes.

Niall Cummins gave the Whites the lead just before the quarter-hour mark after Josh Solomon-Davies surged down the right-flank and although he was upended by a Celtic defender the loose ball was collected by Brett Mbalanda. The French front-man slid a lovely ball through for Cummins to finish into the far corner despite goalkeeper Wright getting a touch on the ball.

The Mariners continued to offer attacking threat throughout the half, though the Tamesiders grew into the game and enjoyed a prolonged spell of possession and pressure around the half-hour mark.

The Celtic equaliser proved the highlight of the afternoon from a footballing perspective, when Valentine sent a beautiful first-time half-volley from 25 yards arcing into the top corner despite a despairing dive from Marine’s trialist keeper.

The second half saw a raft of substitutions which disrupted what had been a well-contested game.

Celtic notched the winner on 74 minutes when the Marine defence was unable to clear a corner and substitute McLaughlin prodded home Marine substitute Ethan Devine was issued with a red card late in the game for dissent.

Remyca re-took the lead on 70 minutes when Monaghan scored from the penalty spot, but Irlam were awarded their own spot kick only seven minutes later which was calmly dispatched to make it 2-2.
