PLANS FOR FORMER OLD ROAN PUB ARE A TURKISH DELIGHT!

Council back campaign for defib awareness

The former Old Roan pub has stood empty for five years.

Proposals unveiled to turn derelict site into a large family owned restaurant Report by Tom Martin

PLANS have been unveiled to transform the former Old Roan pub into a Turkish restaurant.

The landmark building has stood empty for five years, after a retail redevelopment plan fell through, but it could finally come back into use with proposals for the former pub to become an Anar Turkish BBQ Restaurant.

The plans involve building an extension at the side of the existing building to make room for 166 customer seats and the creation of a car park for 34 vehicles.

Images show the seating plan of the proposed restaurant with a greeting area and cloakroom.

Anar Turkish BBQ Restaurant currently has a popular eatery based on Prescot Road, in Liverpool and the Old Roan venue will be of a similar design.

Anar is described as family owned restaurant business which offers “a variety of Mediterranean and Turkish dishes, all served within a comfortable, warm setting.”

A planning application submitted by a company

Established 40 Years

An artist's impression of how the new restaurant would look, complete with extension.

on behalf of Anar states: “This large former public house ceased trading in August 2013 and the site has been vacant since that time.

“If renovated to a high standard it would provide an excellent venue for the well-established Liverpool/Turkish restaurant brand Anar.

“The current building is abandoned and is in desperate need of repairs and a renovation, which the

client is willing to undertake. Since the building is well established in the local area, the client seeks to retain the existing building and add a modern dining area to the main building.

“The new restaurant provides a renewed vitality and life back into this popular (and well known) landmark.”

A GRANDAD who had graphic sex chats with ‘a 13-year-old girl’ found himself in the dock as the child was actually an undercover policeman.

Officers consequently raided Alan Cherry’s home in Claremont Road, Seaforth, and seized his computer equipment which analysis revealed he had used to download indecent images of children.

Liverpool Crown Court heard on Thursday, September 20 that the father-of-three grown up children had a total of 218 images in all three categories of seriousness, including four videos in the two most serious categories.

The children in the photos ranged in age from three to 12, said Derek Jones, prosecuting.

He told the judge that an undercover police officer created a fake profile for a 13-year-old girl called Chloe in June 2017 and went into various chat rooms including KIK and Chatstep.

On June 5 Cherry began chatting to Chloe over a four day period.

When told she was only 13 he responded “that’s a sexy age” and told her he was 59 and they continued having chats over four days of “an overtly sexual nature. He asked if she was wearing her school uniform and any underwear.”

Cherry, 61, asked her to send explicit photographs of herself and asked if she had engaged in certain perverted behaviour, said Mr Jones.

He told her he would love to be in bed with her but did not ask her to carry out any sexual acts or arrange to meet her.

On June 8 they spoke via Skype during which Cherry stripped naked and performed a sex act in front of the camera, said Mr Jones.

Police went to his home on June 14 and the indecent child abuse images were found.

Cherry, now of Akenside Court, Newfort Way,

Alan Cherry

Bootle, pleaded guilty to four offences involving downloading and possessing the child porn images and three offences of attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child.

His barrister, Martine Snowden, said that Cherry, who has no similar convictions, was a window cleaner until fracturing his spine since when he has been unable to work.

He helps out one of his daughters looking after his grandchildren and has a close relationship with another of his children, who also has children.

“He is at a loss as to why he engaged in this behaviour. He cannot really understand why he has done it. He is a lonely individual who has allowed himself to progress into this isolated behaviour in secret.”

Judge Rachel Smith said Cherry had started to address his behaviour and if he was jailed he would not receive rehabilitation after his release.

She imposed a three year community order and ordered him to attend a sexual offenders treatment programme. She also imposed a three month curfew between 8pm- 8am and a Sexual Harm Prevention Order, restricting his contact with children, for eight years. The judge ordered him to sign the Sex Offenders Register for the same length of time.

Council to pursue a ‘robust response’ to fracking proposals Report by Kenny Parker

Some of the planters that Lydiate in Flower has placed around the village this past year.

Village’s ‘in Flower’ group is blossoming!

LYDIATE in Flower, a group of volunteers who have dedicated their time to adding colour to the village with floral displays, is celebrating its one year anniversary.

This year, the group, which is supported by Lydiate Parish Council, has successfully won sponsorship from local businesses.

After also receiving donations it has raised enough funds to install floral planters on five Lydiate roadsigns and also a large planter at the Weld Blundell area of the village.

The volunteers also maintain and water the two large tubs at Robbins Island.

Chairman of the group Helen Jones says plans for the next year are for more floral planters around Lydiate and bulb planting.

They also hope to restore some of the benches around the area and place floral planters on or near them.

Helen adds that they are still a fairly small group of volunteers and new helpers are always welcome.

Any local businesses or individuals wishing to sponsor, donate or help out with the community work can email lydiateinflower@outlook.com or phone 07443 521411.

Concert to be held in aid of hospices A CHARITY Concert featuring the Red Rose Concert Band will take place at the Holy Rosary Parish Centre on Altway in Old Roan on Sunday, October 7 starting at 3pm.

Tickets will be £5, including refreshments and a raffle, available from Eddie Caldwell on 0151 5268288 and at the club, or you can pay on the night at the door.

Proceeds from the night will go to the Woodlands and St Joseph’s hospices.

A MOTION has been passed by Sefton Council to pursue a robust response to Government plans to take away local authorities power to decide on fracking applications.

The Government is consulting on proposals to change legislation to redefine non-hydraulic fracturing shale gas exploration applications as ‘permitted development’ and to redefine large scale shale gas production sites as Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects, thus removing any local authority control and community involvement in decision-making.

Sudell ward Councillor Matthew Gannon, who tabled the motion, said the changes would make gas explorations on a level with loft conversions and should be opposed.

Though there are no planning applications pending to frack in Sefton he said areas of the borough, such as Lydiate and Formby will be impacted by fracking at Altcar Moss.

He said: “The majority of people I speak to are against fracking in general but that's only a secondary issue.

“Regardless of what you feel about fracking itself, a proper planning process should be followed. It goes to planning committee made up of democratically elected councilors who make a decision about whether or not that should be passed.

“But what the Government are trying to do is to make exploring wells and exploratory activities permitted activities.

“It’s just like if you wanted to convert your loft or change your kitchen you can do it, but if you want to build an extension you need to go planning.

“So that means you could have an exploratory site over one hectare in size that can be thrown up without having to get any permission from anyone.”

Cllr Gannon said that England and in particular the north of the country was being unfairly treated. In both Scotland and Wales there is a moratorium that prevents fracking taking place until it can be proved that it is safe. “It's just Eng-

Councillor Matthew Gannon called on the council to oppose Government's proposed changes to regulations for fracking applications.

land and particularly northern England that are going to suffer,” he said.

Cllr Gannon’s motion stated: “Sefton Council believes: That moving decisions about fracking, which have huge implications for local communities, to a national level would contradict the principles of localism.

“That ‘Permitted Development’ the category of planning that the government wants to move shale gas exploration drilling into – which was designed for developments with low environmental impacts, is an inappropriate category for drilling with such wide-reaching implications for local communities and climate change.

“That bringing fracking applications under the Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects regime will be harmful to local communities.

That local authorities are best placed to continue to make decisions throughout the planning process for shale gas exploration drilling, appraisal and production.

“Sefton Council resolves to continue to work on a robust response to the consultation which includes the above views and where possible does so jointly with other local authorities who share these opinions.”

Turkish restaurant plan for former Old Roan pub From page 1.

The applicant adds that much of the current site, which is overgrown, would be remodelled to provide additional parking.

New colourful planting and trees will be added around the building “to help soften the boundaries and provide and attractive visual landmark.”

There have been a number of false dawns over the years when locals thought the former pub would be transformed, most recently when plans were submitted to turn the building into shops, but this proposal fell through.

When the pub was closed in 2013, some residents welcomed the move following complaints of late night noise, anti-social behaviour and disorder at the pub.

A MAN who punched a train guard so hard in the face he needed dental treatment has been jailed for 20 weeks.

John Edward Igoe, 35, of Pennine Close, St Helens, boarded a Merseyrail train at Southport station along with Nathan Harding, 27, of Prior Street, Bootle, and witnesses say they were both behaving in a “loud and disorderly manner.”

At Blundellsands and Crosby station, two Asian boys boarded the train and were immediately subjected to racially aggressive abuse from Harding.

When a woman with a baby intervened, Harding became aggressive towards her. Fearing for her safety she backed away and reported Harding to the train guard.

When the pair left the train at Waterloo station and the guard tried to close the carriage doors, Igoe prevented him from doing so and reached into the carriage punching him in the face.

Igoe was charged with actual bodily harm over the incident, which took place on August 16 last year, and Harding was charged with racially aggravated disorderly behaviour and threatening behaviour, offences they both pleaded guilty to ahead of sentencing.

Igoe was sentenced to 20 weeks in prison at Bootle Magistrates' Court on Friday, September 7 and ordered to pay £500 to his victim.

Harding was fined £381 for racially aggravated threatening behaviour in the lead up to the assault. He was ordered to pay costs of £250 and a victim surcharge of £38.

Investigating officer DC Richard Hague said: “This was a despicable attack on a member of rail staff who in an attempt to keep the peace and prevent the incident from escalating was left with severe injuries to his mouth which resulted in him requiring dental treatment.

“Harding’s vile racist slurs directed at two innocent young boys was shameful. Not to mention his aggressive intimidation of a young woman with a baby who refused to stand by while he spouted his racist abuse.”

The Champion l Wednesday 26 September 2018

A PARENT has expressed his anger that he will have to pay £90 a term if his child wants individual half hour music lessons at Maghull High school.

David Gore, from Aintree, said they are not going to be able to pay £180 a term for the two music lessons their daughter, Emily Gore, 14, currently has and she will have to stop them.

The same music lessons were free last term.

The headteacher at Maghull High School Davina Aspinall said that due to “financial pressures facing all schools, the school governors and I have had to take the difficult decision to alter the funding structure for our music peripatetic provision from September 2018.”

Mr Gore added that his daughter, who is on grade four on the violin and grade three on the guitar, is devastated by the plans and said: “My daughter loves music and would be devastated if these music lessons finished.

“My wife and I both work, but £180 a term would be a lot of money to find, even though we don’t live an extravagant lifestyle.

“Unfortunately if the proposals are brought in she won’t be able to carry on with the lessons.

“We simply can’t afford it and we would have to stop the lessons, which she looks forward to every week. Private music tutors are hard to find as well.

“We chose Maghull High because it is a performing arts school.

“All parents who started at school last year were told that music lessons would be free.

“These proposals do not put the school in good light. We don’t blame the music teacher though, they are stuck between a rock and a hard place.

“We have been told that by doing this the school

Headteacher at Maghull High Davina Aspinall

will be able to save £21,000 a year, which will fund a trainee teacher for a year.”

Headteacher Davina Aspinall responded: “The Performing Arts continues to be an important part of our school's curriculum. “Our relationship with Sefton Music Service has always been and continues to be excellent.

“Charging for additional music services is common in most secondary schools.

“Historically, Maghull High School has been fortunate to be able to fully fund this provision within its annual budget for all pupils.

“Regrettably, due to the financial pressures facing all schools, the school governors and I have had to take the difficult decision to alter the funding structure for our music peripatetic provision.

“The school has committed to funding music peripatetic lessons in full for all pupils studying GCSE Music.

“Pupils for whom we receive Pupil Premium or Post 16 bursary funding will continue to receive their lessons free of charge.”

Public address announcements at rail station to stop after complaints that they were disturbing residents AFTER months of having their peace disturbed by its construction, residents living next to the new Maghull North railway station were confronted with another nuisance once it was up and running.

Sefton Councillor Mathew Gannon who lives on Mersey Avenue adjacent to the station said that

residents were alerted to regular and loud Merseytravel safety messages from dawn till dusk.

He said: “We did have issues when it first opened because they were playing the public address every 15 minutes.

“And they didn’t get the volume right so from 5.30am till 11.30pm

we were getting ‘Merseyrail would like to remind passengers that not to leave unattended items.’”

Cllr Gannon said that after complaints were escalated to the executive level at the rail company they agreed to cease all announcements except at times of severe disruption.

‘Outstanding professional’ Darby to retire from football due to motor neurone disease Report by Henry James FOOTBALLER Stephen Darby, who was brought up in Maghull, has been described as “an outstanding professional and a fantastic person” by his club after he announced that he is retiring from the game after being diagnosed with motor neurone disease.

The 29-year-old, who attended St John Bosco's primary and Maricourt RC high schools, in Maghull, has been at Bolton Wanderers since the summer of 2017 but hadn't played since last December.

The full back came through the youth ranks at Liverpool, and made his first competitive appearance for the Reds as a substitute in a Champions League fixture against PSV Eindhoven in December 2008. The following year he made his first competitive start, again in the Champions League, against Fiorentina.

Following loan spells with Swindon Town, Notts County and Rochdale, Darby made the move to Bradford City where he spent two seasons as club captain before joining Bolton.

He said: “It is with great sadness

that I announce my immediate retirement from professional football due to a recent diagnosis of Motor Neurone Disease.

“I would like to take the opportunity to thank my teammates, Phil Parkinson and all the staff at Bolton Wanderers Football Club for their amazing support at what has been an extremely difficult period for myself and my family.

“I would like to ask for privacy at this time so I can adjust to the battle I have ahead and so that I can spend time with those closest to me.”

Bolton Wanderers manager Phil Parkinson, said it was “heartbreaking news for Stephen and his family.”

He added: “He is an outstanding professional and a fantastic person.

“The Bolton Wanderers fans didn’t see the best of him due to limited first team opportunities, but I can assure everyone that he made a significant contribution in last year’s survival.

“He constantly set high standards in training every day and encouraged and drove his fellow teammates on.

“All the staff and players at Bolton Wanderers Football Club think the world of him and are determined to give him every possible bit of support.”

Town council backs Champion on defib awareness campaign We want to ensure lifesaving equipment is easily accessible and that people know were they are located

years ago but it wasn't as successful as we had hoped.

“However, this matter is that important we need to revisit this and the support of the Champion is most welcome particularly since more than 25% of Maghull’s population is aged over 65.”

Report by Jim Sharpe Deputy Council Leader, Councillor John Sayers, said: “The Town Council will THE Champion and Maghull undertake a mapping exercise Town Council have teamed up to identify where each of the to raise awareness of life-saving defibrillators.

“And thirdly we want to ensure that wherever you thousands of defibrillators in many locations.

A television programme highlighted how a parish are in Maghull a defibrillator will be accessible council had installed one of these machines which within a reasonable time.”

In the newscast a heart specialist said that many played a critical role in saving the life of a local man - if there had been no defibrillator he may well people are afraid to use these machines in case have become one of the nine out of 10 victims who they do further harm to the victim.

However, he emphasised that defibrillators are die before they reach hospital.

This really worried me - particularly since I easy to use with clear instructions.

The fact is, if we can reassure people that using a suffered a near-fatal heart attack myself just over defibrillator can often mean the difference two years ago.

Plant pots banned from gardens as they are a ‘fire hazard’!

Residents ‘disgusted’ after One Vision Housing order to remove ‘obstructions’ Report by Tom Martin TENANTS In Seaforth have claimed it's “health and safety gone mad� after their housing provider told them to remove plant pots from their communal gardens because it creates a “fire hazard.�

Residents have criticised the policy, and some tenants.�

Another resident said: “We have always looked say they have been left “upset and disgusted� after being told to remove items from their gardens, after our garden and kept it tidy and beautiful in the summer with flowers, pots and plants, all at including plant pots and flowers.

They have also claimed they have been left out our own expense. “We have now been told it all has to go, even of pocket, having spent their own money on buying items for their gardens, only to be told to get though they are off the pathways and by the walls, in case anyone trips over them. rid of them. “Surely if tenants are prepared to look after the OVH, which was formed in 2006 and based in Bootle, has more than 13,000 properties located gardens, they should be praised and not treated across Sefton, Liverpool, Wirral, Cheshire and like this? “We have spent a lot of money on making the West Lancashire.

Nearly 4,500 hot meals dished out to families in Sefton over summer Report by Tom Martin NEARLY 4,500 hot meals have been dished out to local families in Sefton over the summer holidays.

Sefton Council held its annual Children’s Access to Food Programme this year and across a six week period they gave out 4,350 meals to families in need of support.

The scheme, which is in its third year, helps to support families across the borough who are most in need of help and hot meals, allowing them to end a reliance on school meals to help nourish their children.

The council say such a scheme would not have been possible without the support and hard work of front line local voluntary, community and faith (VCF) sector groups who were vital in making the programme come together.

In addition to Sefton Council’s children’s centre and school provision, Sefton CVS coordinated a network of local voluntary, community and faith (VCF) sector organisations including The Orrell Trust, Waterloo Community Association, Parenting 2000 and The Inclusion Network to offer additional access to food during the holidays.

Cllr Trish Hardy, Sefton Council's Cabinet Member for Communities and Housing, said: “All of our families were so incredibly grateful for the food and it is difficult to see how they would have managed without it.

“Throughout the scheme we also saw a definite reduction in families requesting food vouchers for the food bank, simply because they were able to access free meals.

“There is a need for schemes such as the Access To Food Programme and we are delighted that we have been able to help and support those families that are most in need within our communities.”

We offer a free special order service with no additional costs like postage or packing, and a dedicated experienced fitting team who are trained in all aspects of shoe fitting, to enable you to find the correct shoe for your need.

Man appears in court for possessing ‘card sharp’ A MAN from Litherland has appeared in court for possession of a ‘card sharp’, a credit card shaped folding knife.

Vladimirs Visockis, 25, of Linacre Road, appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court on September 19 where he pleaded guilty to possession of a bladed article in a public place and also to possession of cannabis.

Both offences occurred on August 28.

His solicitor Heather Toohey said he had told police he had been given the card sharp as a gift from a friend and did not realise it was illegal to carry it.

The magistrates ordered a pre-sentence report and adjourned until October 2 for sentencing.

A big ‘thank you’ to the dog owners who clean up the park!

Nothing is done if you make a complaint about bad neighbours

My sister lives on Dodds Lane in Maghull.

As I visit most weekends with my two dogs, we use Dodds Park.

The park is fairly well kept and is well used by local people and lots of dog owners.

Considering the amount of bad press the dog owning community receive, I would like to mention the group of dog owners, who continue on a regular basis to collect the rubbish, including bottles and cans.

They make it safer for dogs and children and deserve a big thank you.

Recently the council supplied new yellow rubbish bins - what a pity so many seem to ignore them!

I read with interest your article on bad neighbours and I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

What a load of tosh from the housing association.

Ask One Vision Housing, the council and the dog wardens department how many times I have complained about my neighbour.

The ‘so many complaints and we act’ comment is rubbish.

I had a dog warden here promising me to request an ASBO against my neighbour but a week later I got a phone call to say ‘sorry not enough evidence.’

I complained to One Vision Housing countless times about being disturbed

A grateful visitor, By email

and intimidated by my neighbour and his friends but nothing was done.

I wasn’t the only one complaining.

They even told another neighbour that hers was the first complaint they had had!

We also complained nearly a year ago to the council about bins overflowing and being stolen from other residents and nothing happened.

I complained again twice recently and am still waiting.

Those rules do not apply.

They are there just for show SM Mills, Seaforth

Young carers need more support with their education As children and young people return to school and university, it’s important to highlight the very real difficulties young carers face in education.

Barnardo’s supports almost 3,500 young carers and their families every year in the UK through our specialist support services.

We know first-hand that for many young carers the school holidays are not the relaxing break enjoyed by their peers, with many doing up to 30 hours of caring each week, looking after mums and dads, brothers and sisters.

For many, going back to school and having to do the equivalent of an unpaid 30 hour working week and homework, can result in lower grades which in turn can lead to lower prospects.

Looking after family members is something our young carers are incredibly proud of, but it shouldn’t be at the expense of their childhoods, or their futures.

Typically tasked with helping around the home, doing practical jobs such as cooking, housework and shopping along with physical care, they simply don’t have time to be care-free or catch up on school work.

Barnardo’s Young Carers Report shows that over a third of young carers said that going back to school was a particularly difficult time for them because of their carers role.

Schools, local communities, neighbours, employers and organisations like Barnardo's, all need to help young carers to complete their education to the best of their ability and, where they want to, support them to go on to further or higher education.

Lynn Perry, Barnardo’s regional director

People should appreciate the Cinema should try to arrange flower beds kept by volunteers more parking for the disabled Although not a resident in Melling my parents live there and my father is actually one of the Melling in Bloom team who plant the flowers within the village.

These flowers are bought with the monies collected from this charitable organisation.

Sadly there have been episodes of dog faeces being placed in to the soil of the commemoration boxes in the village.

There have also recently been flowers stolen from the flower beds.

Some of the flower beds have also been constantly vandalised with the tops of the flowers being pulled off.

My father himself saw an older lady with her grandchild stopping to pick

the flowers who when challenged said ‘she’s picking them for her mum.’

These flowers are for everyone to look at not for anyone willy nilly to pick.

How sad is this that when people who are in their 80s and live in this village are giving their time freely to enable all to enjoy a lovely village environment to live in and yet there is no appreciation whatsoever from some of the people who now reside within it.

I am physically disabled.

I don’t use a wheelchair, but cannot walk more then 10 metres.

One pleasure in my life and trust me, there are not many, is going to the cinema.

I attended a special screening of the Andre Riue Johann Straus concert in July.

Most of the audience were fans of his music, over 65...some with walking difficulties.

The car park was full.

I even considered asking my husband to park at the Crosby library car park, and pay and display.

However the walking distance to/from the cinema is huge for me personally.

But there is a potential, the Plaza could tap into, as the car park nearest to the cinema is very small.

I have noticed, the Plaza offers only one disabled parking space and yet the audience that night con-

sisted of many people with disabilities.

In the future it would be advisable, if there is an agreement between the cinema and the owner of the library car park.

The cinema could offer a guaranteed parking space including a price for parking on top of the price of the ticket on a first come/first serve basis.

I am not asking for a free parking allocation.

I am asking for a guaranteed parking space, with a view to pay in full.

I was shocked to see there were many parking permit only spaces in the vicinity of the cinema.

I found it difficult to traipse from the parked car deep in residential area, to the cinema. Let’s just say we just about made it.

Sea fishing club is a big catch with locals!

Report by Tom Martin A SEA fishing club which only formed last year has proven to be a big catch with locals as members mark the one year anniversary.

The Champion reported in September 2017 how the Victoria Sea Angling Club was appealing for new members to sign up for fishing trips and regular meetings.

Twelve months on and the club has gone from strength to strength, with more than 30 paying members making the most of a fully functioning sea angling club.

In a recent trip, they enjoyed an eight hour fishing trip out of Holyhead, when they travelled on the charter boat Bad Boyz 1V. Ian McKay, the chairman of Victoria Boat Angling Club said: “We are still open to new members and we are actively recruiting more people who share the same interests.

“It doesn't matter what level of proficiency prospective members have, we are more that happy to coach beginners until they are able to 'fly solo'.”

Victoria Sea Angling Club’s Annual General Meeting will be at the Victoria Hotel in Bath Street, Waterloo on Wednesday, October 10 at 7.30pm and new members are welcome to attend.

Children can be nominated for one or more of ten awards, including the top honour of Sefton’s Shiniest Star.

Other categories will recognise achieving and caring, volunteering and community spirit, children who inspire change, fundraising success and the young achiever of the year.

INSTANT DECISION

COMMUTERS can expect changes to their travel as thousands of visitors arrive in Liverpool for the four-day Giants spectacle.

Bus and train users can expect cancellations and changes to their usual journeys as transport providers respond to a “significant increase in demand on public transport services” from October 4-7.

Whether locals travel by rail, bus, ferry or car, they are being advised to check for any alternatives to their usual services ahead of the event.

The Giants event will be the last ever visit to Liverpool as it comes to an end, so it is expected to be even more popular than previous years.

For the latest information about transport, commuters should check with the relevant transport operator in the run up to and on their day of travel.

Information will also be available online and via social media.

There will be extra staff from a variety of transport providers deployed at key locations during the four days to provide information and support people with their journeys.

On Merseyrail trains, there will be a normal timetable on Thursday, October 4, but there will be changes to services on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

This involves trains not stopping at every station, including Liverpool Central station, and James Street and Lime Street lower level will be closed.

A special events timetable will run and passengers are encouraged to visit the Merseyrail website or pick up a leaflet from any staffed station.

Buses will be running but there will be diversions to routes due to road closures and services may be subject to delays – especially in and around Liverpool city centre.

Queen Square & Liverpool ONE bus stations will be closed for some periods during the event, there will be alternative drop off and pick up points notified in advance.

Mick Noone, Merseytravel’s director for Integrated Transport, said: “Demand on transport services will be high as this will be a very busy

The Giants are returning to Liverpool next month

weekend for the City Region as we welcome back the Giants.

“At the same time, to facilitate the event we will see a number of diversions and disruptions to our road network. To enjoy the event to the fullest and avoid disappointment we strongly urge people need to check information and plan their journeys, don’t leave it until the last minute.”

Andy Heath, Merseyrail’s managing director, said: “To help us deliver a reliable service to commuters and visitors to the event, Merseyrail has made necessary timetable changes, including a limited stop service.

“Our trains will be very busy and staff will be available to support passengers, however we encourage everyone to plan ahead and allow extra time for their journey.”

Howard Farrall, managing director for Arriva Merseyside, said: “Our Arriva bus routes and times will stay the same during Giants Weekend, however some routes will take into consideration road closures and diversions across the City Centre. We advise passengers to check our Arriva Journey Planning app for more information and, where possible, pre-purchase their travel tickets to ensure further ease for their journeys.

“We’re confident that our bus services are a great way to travel during what we know will be a fantastic weekend, offering a safe and reliable way to get around Liverpool city centre and Merseyside.”

Thornton Parish Council meetings take place at Holy Family High School on the first Monday of every month at 7pm.

Residents are encouraged to attend meetings to raise issues about the community and get involved with the democratic processes of the council.

Three young children were exposed to hard drugs for six months before they were taken into care Report by Tom Martin THREE children under the age of six were exposed to “significant levels” of heroin and cocaine at their home in Sefton for months, despite being identified as vulnerable, a shocking report stated.

The youngsters, referred to in the findings as Martha, Mary and Ben, were twin girls aged two and their five-year-old brother and they lived in an unknown location within the borough.

A report published by the Local Safeguarding Children Board reveals how professionals failed the children after they were previously identified as vulnerable – and tests showed they had suffered from drugs exposure for six months before they were finally taken into care.

In August 2017, police suspected the children’s mother and great uncle of carrying out a burglary, so visited the home where they both lived with the chil-

dren. Officers found the twin girls “drowsy and incoherent” and “the atmosphere was smoky and smelled of burning heroin.”

Martha cried throughout the time that officers were present, even in her sleep, and Mary was silent and “stared at her legs throughout the search.”

An adult bedroom, which contained drugs and paraphernalia, contained only one bed, leading officers to suspect the mother and great uncle were in an intimate relationship.

The LSCB report also states that it is believed one of the officers went to a nearby shop to buy food for the children.

The great uncle was arrested and removed from the home and social workers were informed.

Over the next three weeks there was “intensive visiting” to the home, which eventually resulted in the children being taken into care.

A report by the LSCB states: “Professional concerns mounted that Martha and Mary, in particular, were suffering the effects of neglect and of illicit

drug use. Professionals were concerned about their pale, thin appearance and their alternately sleepy and anxious presentations.

“Ben continued to be largely absent from the family home. In September 2017, seeing no improvement in Mary and Martha’s circumstances, CSC (Sefton Council’s Children’s Social Care) determined to seek legal orders to remove all three children.

“Hair-strand testing undertaken during subsequent care proceedings revealed that, over the previous six months, Martha, Mary and Ben had been exposed to significant levels of drugs; including cocaine, heroin and cannabis. The test was unable to state conclusively whether those drugs had been ingested or passively inhaled.”

In December 2017, a Serious Case Review was carried out based on information provided by the children’s Independent Reviewing Officer about how agencies and organisations had worked together prior to the children becoming looked after.

According to the investigation, there were several

failings when identifying neglect, including failed visits and a lack of continuity between changing health visitors.

There was also missed medical and neonatal follow-up appointments, concerns over Martha's weak growth, Ben not attending nursery and the mother ’s failure to take Martha for treatment to a dental abscess for three weeks, resulting in the removal of 14 baby teeth.

Local social care and health bodies said they “fully accept” the findings.

The report made recommendations including the need for extra support to aid early identification of neglect and the impact of drug misuse, and improvements to the way information is shared between police, children's social care teams, teachers and the NHS. Paula St Aubyn, independent chair of Sefton LSCB said lessons would be learned about providing more effective multi-agency support to young children exposed to drug misuse and neglect.

Run in memory of Nathan raises ÂŁ5,000 for charity AN annual race held in memory of a Waterloo teenager saw more than 150 people take part to help raise ÂŁ5,000 for charity.

Nathan’s 10k, which was held recently near Crosby Leisure Centre, saw locals take part in distances of 10k and 5k, by either walking or running.

The event is held every year in memory of Nathan Wilson, who passed away at the age of 17 in 2013 after taking his own life.

Parents Leonard and Gail Wilson say they are delighted with how the day went. Leonard said: “It was a brilliant occasion and we've had so much positive feedback. We had more runners than we've ever had and raised more than ÂŁ5,000 for our charity.â€?

The money will be donated to PAPYRUS – the Prevention of Young Suicide.

The runners set off at the start of the race.

I’M not sure it's quite the correct phrase to use, but I think television has been ‘dumbing down’ for quite some time now.

Until our hard working MPs took their long summer break from Westminster, there used to be a programme on BBC 2 called Today in Parliament which I always recorded and watched when I had 45 minutes to spare.

It didn't often make me happy - in fact depending on which politicians they had in the studio it often made me cross.

But it usually did give me pause for thought.

The Beeb scrapped this programme at the end of the parliamentary session, with the promise that a replacement would appear, new and better, when the Great and Good returned refreshed from Bognor or Bangkok or wherever.

And I, hoping for the best, but fearing the worst, looked see what they had to come up with.

Naturally it was the second option that won the day.

What we have in Politics Live is more like one of those early morning ‘talking heads’ on the sofa programmes than one from which we are ever likely actually to learn.

The guests, up until today, were uniformly most definitely of the second rank. Former aids to this or that politician, reporters from one or other of our national dailies, folk who apparently head-up obscure foundations, whose purpose only begins to appear when you see whether they are hard left, hard right - or Liberal Democrats.

And frankly, I reckon that with just a little bit of luck you could gather an equally interesting panel at any busy bus stop. And their opinions on what is presently going on would be more interesting if only because they would at least give a cross section of what ‘real’ people think of various current affairs.

Oh, and of course, those irritating tweets flowing across the bottom of the screen.

To be fair, the whole thing usually seems more like a reasonably high quality sixth form debating society than an insight into what certain factions would like things to mean.

I think this ‘dumbing down’ really began a few years ago with the morning news programmes.

There was a time, and not one ‘before half the audience was born’, when you had a genuine choice.

If at 7.30am you happened to be the kind of person who wants laughter and fun, you could tune into Channel 3 and see smiley faces on ITV’s morning offering.

Or, if like me, you don’t particularly want a morning dose of enforced cheerfulness, you could watch BBC 1 and see soberly dressed men and women giving a measured sense of what was currently afoot, and leave the giggles 'till kids TV a little later.

No more. Now you are treated like a hospital patient who needs cheering up, like it or not.

And that approach has its benefits in that when there is a particularly tragic news item, its importance is underlined by the sombre expressions on the otherwise relentlessly cheerful visages.

On the other side of the coin though, the ‘mainstream’ stations seem to have lost the ability to a large extent to make me laugh in the evenings.

Sure, usually after the watershed, you get socalled stand-up comedians who seem to think that shouting and swearing constitute humour, but where are gems like Fawlty Towers, To the Manor Born or One Foot in the Grave?

Well actually, they are of course still available on Freeview channels - which is just as well or I would quite often have nothing at all I wanted to view of an evening.

Which was just as well when I was on holiday on the Norfolk Broads where TV reception can vary.

It is fortunate I don’t mind sitting in peace for an evening, with nothing to hear but the occasional animal or bird noise and sometimes a duck landing on my roof.

Palm House to hold annual fundraiser

SEFTON Park’s Palm House will hold a fundraising dinner in the hope of raising more than £10,000 for community projects.

The well-known Grade II listed building will hold the annual Henry Yates Thompson fundraising dinner on Saturday, October 13.

The concept behind the event is for the Palm House to relive its history, when philanthropist Henry Yates Thompson gifted £10,000 in 1896 to enable the construction of the building.

During the fundraising dinner, there will be fire and aerial performances, as the Palm House relives the whimsy and showmanship of the 19th century, with fine wines and a culinary delight inspired by the historic journey of the plants and statues that make up the venue.

Roy Boardman, director of Sefton Park Palm

House Preservation Trust, said “The Henry Yates Thompson dinner is a celebration of the Palm House’s proud history; and it is also part of the Trust’s commitment to our community, who worked so hard to save this magnificent building from dereliction in the 1990s.

“All money raised from this spectacular event, will go toward new projects that will provide life-long learning and heritage interpretation for our local community. People often forget that this magnificent venue is also a visitor attraction and we open for all to enjoy this historic Liverpool Botanical Collection free of charge most days of the week.”

The evening is priced at £75 per person or a table of ten costs £750. It will begin at 7.30pm.

HEALTH commissioners are inviting south Sefton residents to come to their ‘Annual Review meets Big Chat’ event tomorrow (Thursday, September 27.)

Merseyside’s Deputy Police Commissioner Cllr Emily Spurrell

Firms urged to sign up for domestic KITCHEN EMPORIUM abuse scheme SEFTON businesses are being urged to sign up for a new scheme which aims to help staff who are victims of domestic abuse.

The Merseyside Work Place Domestic Abuse Champions has been set-up by Merseyside’s Deputy Police Commissioner Cllr Emily Spurrell to “break the cycle” of domestic abuse by identifying victims when they are in work.

The scheme encourages companies to provide staff with a safe working environment and appoint ‘champions’ to help colleagues who may need support.

Businesses that sign up to the initiative will receive free training and advice to help designated staff spot the signs of possible abuse and equipping ‘champions’ with the skills to provide advice, offer support and signpost victims to outreach workers or specialist support.

Employers will also be encouraged to create safe spaces where staff affected by domestic abuse can talk

confidentially to the ‘champions’.

Merseyside’s Deputy Police Commissioner Cllr Emily Spurrell said: “Domestic abuse is everyone’s business and that’s why I am encouraging businesses – small and large, public and private – to sign up to join this important initiative.

“For some people, work may be the only safe haven they have from abuse and violence and it is vital that employers recognise and understand the hugely important role they can have in helping someone who may be suffering in silence.

“By having a safe space within work and a properly trained ‘champion’ who is able to listen and provide the right support and guidance, that employer could help a victim to make those all important first steps in breaking the cycle of abuse.

If you are interested in joining the Work Place Domestic Violence Champion network, email info@merseysidepcc.info to register your interest.

Common Sense Contracts

Protecting Your Business

What happens when things go pear shaped in your business? All the best run companies regulate and document their commercial relationships. Whether it is with customers or clients, suppliers, agents or your staff, having well drafted agreements in place is a common sense yet powerful way to protect your business.

Putting in the ground work at the outset really does pay off in the long term.

Commercial contracts should meet two objectives: the first is that they must advance and protect your business interests. The second, is that they should flow alongside, and not disturb or endanger, the commercial arrangements that the two contracting parties have struck.

Properly drafted contracts or ‘terms and conditions’ are your ultimate back up, or ‘insurance’, in the event of things going wrong and are invaluable; they help you to manage disputes, stop you getting ‘stung’ by your trading partners or customers and, moreover, improve your profit margins. What’s not to like?

Sometimes, people see solicitors as a hindrance not a help. Here at Dickinson Parker Hill LLP we understand that our role is to assist you to achieve your aim of contracting with others on the best terms possible for your business. We take time to get to know your industry and the way your company operates on a day to day basis and the problems you encounter so that everything we produce is tailor made for your business’s specific requirements. Providing pragmatic, robust and commercial advice to help you meet your business objectives is what we do best.

Our contracts are drafted with the benefit of litigation experience. This is key to ensuring that your contracts are built to stand up to any litigious scrutiny in the event that your commercial relationship with the other contracting party does break down.

Examples of the kind of commercial contracts that we advise on are as follows: • Advertising and marketing contracts • Agency contracts • Confidentiality contracts • Consumer contracts • Construction contracts • Consultancy/freelance agreements • Terms and conditions • Distribution contract • Employment contracts • Franchising contracts • General commercial contracts • Outsourcing contracts • Preliminary agreements contracts • Service agreements • Supply of goods and services contracts • Business sale and purchase contracts • Trade finance contracts • Website contracts

Hard working volunteers fill 29 bags from canal HARD working volunteers have carried out a canal clean-up in Litherland and Bootle.

Members of the Sefton Towpath Taskforce met at the bridge on Litherland Road before working their way to Marsh Lane, in Bootle, picking up litter from the Leeds and Liverpool Canal as they went.

They filled an impressive 29 bin bags, as well as removing the likes of kids scooters, a duvet and pushchairs which had been dumped.

They also removed graffitti found under the bridge and even had time to play basketball with a hoop and ball which were recovered from the water!

Private hire driver Paul Newbery wants better pick-ups at football stadiums, including Anfield

Taxi driver wants much better pick-ups at football stadiums Report by Tom Martin A LOCAL taxi driver believes more needs to be done to ensure safe pick-ups for football fans outside Anfield and Goodison Park.

The Champion reported last week how supporters were warned by Liverpool City Council about being ripped off by hackney cabs, who 'cherry pick' customers and then overcharge for journeys.

Private hire driver, Paul Newbery, who lives in Netherton, used to try and collect supporters outside the two stadiums but gave up after getting frustrated at not being able to safely park and customers not turning up.

The 40-year-old, who has been driving in Liverpool for a year, believes the council

should create “private hire pick-up points” to encourage fans to keep their taxi booking and make sure drivers can get in and out of the area safely.

Paul told the Champion: “I used to try and pick up from Anfield and Goodison but it's just not worth the hassle.

“When matches are on I just go home now!

“People will make a booking and then just jump into a hackney and that’s when they can get ripped off.

“It’s always a nightmare to park safely anywhere.

“There needs to be better provisions for private hire vehicles at big events where there is going to be a lot of people “I went to Creamfields and they had a private hire pick up facility, which was safe and simple to use for both the drivers and customers.

“We need to be promoting a good honest taxi trade and I think the council favours hackney cabs and don't worry about private hire.”

Last week, Mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson vowed to crackdown on hackney cabs overcharging football fans, which has led to the undercover operations.

Mayor Anderson said: “It’s just not acceptable that fans leaving the match have to run the gauntlet of some unscrupulous drivers who are willing to exploit them in a bid to make a bit of easy money.

“This kind of behaviour breeds mistrust amongst the public and casts a bad light on all those honest and hardworking cabbies in our city who do a great job every day of the week.”

“We are committed to continuing with these undercover operations and getting a fair deal for the people of Liverpool.”

The annual National Eye Health Week (NEHW) will take place 24th-30th September 2018. Once again, eye care charities, organisations and health professionals from across the UK are joining together to promote the importance of eye health, and the need for regular sight tests for all.

It is important if you have Diabetic Retinopathy that you visit your optician every year, as studies have proven that this preserves vision longer than untreated patients.

Eyesight may often be taken for granted but, with 86% of people in the UK valuing their eyesight above any other sense, it is important to make sure that we protect and preserve our sight to maintain normal daily activities such as driving and reading. The ageing population and unhealthy lifestyles are fuelling a steep decline in our vision, yet according to research conducted by the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) half of all sight loss is avoidable.

Mrs Hilary Phillips, Consultant Ophthalmologist, advises on the importance of regular eye checks at a local optician, and explains some of the most common eye diseases along with the symptoms you should be looking out for.

With an aging population and increase in life expectancy, Age Related Macular Degeneration and Cataracts are becoming more common. Eating a diet low in saturated fats but rich in green leafy vegetables such as spinach and broccoli may delay the progression of cataracts and Age-Related Macular Disease (ARMD).

Mrs Phillips states “It is vitally important that everyone visits their local optician every 12-18 months. Opticians are not just prescribers SJ KPEWWIW 8LI] EVI TVSǻGMIRX MR XVIEXMRK conditions such as dry eyes and they also have the facilities to screen for Glaucoma, Cataract, Age Related Macular Degeneration and Diabetic Retinopathy, some of which have no warning signs.

There are simple steps you can take to help maintain good eye health such as; regular eye tests, keeping your eyes covered in the sun, protecting your eyes with safety googles, that are sealed around the eye area, during DIY, and ensuring that you lead a healthy lifestyle.

NATIONAL EYE HEALTH WEEK MONDAY 24 - SUNDAY 30 SEPTEMBER 2018

YOUR VISION MATTERS ADVERTISEMENT FEATURE

Regular eye tests more vital than ever with ageing workforce WITH an ageing population and record number of older people in work, Specsavers and the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) are reminding people of the importance of regular eye tests to maintain and protect their sight.

There are now more than 1.2 million Brits aged over 65 working as people continue to live longer and healthier lives. Yet research* has revealed that 250 people start losing their sight every day even though at least half of all sight loss is avoidable. Early detection is vital in the management and successful treatment of many conditions, with regular eye tests being key. But despite that, one in four people are not having an eye test every two years as recommended.

Hairy Bikers star Dave Myers has teamed up with Specsavers and RNIB this National Eye Health Week (24-30 September) to help raise awareness of the importance of eye tests. The 61-year-old was diagnosed with glaucoma seven years ago following a routine visit to the opticians. It could have affected his career, but swift detection has protected the chef’s sight by enabling him to successfully manage the condition with daily eye drops.

‘I was shocked because I had no symptoms, but if it had gone unnoticed, I could have gone blind. Like so many people, my career is my passion and it’s so hard to imagine doing all the things I love if I couldn’t see.’

RNIB interim CEO Eliot Lyne added:

‘Research shows that the older you are, the greater your chances of developing an eye condition, so it is very important that people book themselves in for an eye test every two years.

‘With the right support, people with sight loss can continue working, and if you are an employer, RNIB and other organisations can help you to properly support a member of staff who is losing their sight.

‘Advances in technology mean that blind and partially sighted people can now overcome many of the barriers to work that they faced in the past, and government schemes like Access to Work mean that many of the costs can be met.’

All Specsavers optometrists are accredited in detecting and monitoring glaucoma, cataracts and other eye health conditions.

To complement their skills, Specsavers and RNIB have also launched eye health training for Specsavers’ non clinical teams, including optical assistants and frame stylists, to ensure that whoever a customer first sees in-store is sympathetic to their eye care needs. * YouGov Survey commissioned by Specsavers and RNIB 23rd June -7th July 2017 of 6,430 UK adults aged 18+.

MEMBERS of the StemCellScousers have been supporting Blood Cancer Awareness Month.

Formby resident Kevin Dunne who founded the fundraising and awareness group and members of the StemCellScousers turned out to support Southport's Hospital's Open Day earlier this month, alongside Southport MP Damien Moore.

The hospital's Haematology Treatment Unit is part of the Merseyside Alliance for Defeating Blood Cancer, which was launched by Kevin Dunne earlier this year.

Other groups that are a part of this include the West Lancs and Myeloma Support Group, the Sefton Cancer Support Group, all the Merseyside Macmillan offices including Southport and Ormskirk and also national charities Anthony Nolan, Leukaemia Care and Lymphoma Action.

Kevin Dunne said: “We supported the Open Day as part of our work highlighting Blood Cancer Awareness Month throughout September.

“Our awareness campaign is to highlight the six most common symptoms of blood cancer and the difficulties in getting a diagnosis which sometimes comes too late for some patients. These symptoms are

fatigue, feeling weak or breathless, fever, bruising, repeated infections and joint or bone pain.

“All of these symptoms are common to many other diseases.

“A lot of GPs will only see just one case of blood cancer every three to four years on average.

“Hence many don't do that all-important blood test on the first visit. Our message to people is don't delay, see your GP as soon as you can.

The West Lancs and Merseyside Myeloma Support Group's leader David Simister added: “I'm really proud to be an active member of the Merseyside Alliance Defeating Blood Cancer.”

The Champion l Wednesday 26 September 2018

36 l Visit us @ www.ChampNews.com

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

Following on from the huge success of the Year of the Coast, the tireless work of Sefton’s thousands of volunteers, who give thousands of hours of their time each week, is being celebrated in a year long campaign to raise awareness of how much volunteers do for the borough. Volunteers make a real difference in Sefton. They touch people’s lives in so many different ways, providing comfort and support, fostering community development, and actively helping to keep Sefton clean, green and beautiful. Volunteering also has a positive impact on the health and wellbeing of those who participate in it. To learn more about the Year of the Volunteer and how to get involved visit www.volunteeringsefton.org.uk

Animal Shelter Teams Up With Foodbanks for YOV

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

Volunteers Needed To Create A Real Buzz In Formby!

Formby based Freshfields Animal Rescue are working with volunteers at various Sefton food banks to provide additional support to vulnerable animals.

Food Banks are fulfilling a vital role in today’s society, providing a lifeline for people who are in need of the most immediate and urgent help to care for their families.

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

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

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

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

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

Scouting For Volunteers Church Heritage Project Needs Volunteers Thanks to a Heritage Lottery Fund grant, St Nicholas’ Church in Blundellsands are launching a new project.

The grant will help St Nicholas’ to extend its role as a heritage centre and community resource. A team of volunteers will support this work, by promoting the church’s heritage at public events, acting as guides for visitors and helping in the church’s new refreshment area.

Become a Clean-up Champion April is the Year of the Volunteer’s Clean, Green and Beautiful environment month, where we celebrate volunteers who help keep our borough beautiful.

The 22 miles spanning between Southport and Seaforth are some of the most iconic, idyllic and important stretches of coastline in the UK but it takes a lot of work to make our coastline the sandy success that it is!

Southport District Scouts are currently looking to fill two strategic voluntary positions. Southport District covers Ainsdale through to Crossens, and Southport District Scouts provides a programme of activities and learning experiences for over 200 young people across the area.

Of course, these activities can only be delivered with the support of adult volunteers in a variety of roles.

Food Banks & Anti Poverty Each month the Year of the Volunteer campaign focuses on a special theme, and some of the areas that we will look to highlight soon include Health & Wellbring and Youth Volunteering. We’ve been catching up with a number of volunteer organisations and individuals, including South Sefton Foodbank and Lakeside Foodbank, Southport, who regularly spend hundreds of hours each month to help families and those in need of emergency food supplies.

But how can you get involved?

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

ENTERTAINMENT

Wait almost over until Last chance to re-live hits premiere of By The with top bands from 60s Waters of Liverpool THE wait is almost over until the premiere of the new stage play By The Waters Of Liverpool opens at the Liverpool Empire.

The play is the long-awaited sequel to Helen Forrester ’s much-loved Twopence To Cross The Mersey – and this will be the first time the book has been brought to life on stage.

By The Waters Of Liverpool will run at the Liverpool Empire from Wednesday, October 3 through to Saturday, October 13.

The cast from stage and screen took a break from rehearsals to give theatregoers and fans of Helen Forrester ’s books a glimpse of how the show will look – by releasing the very first production images of By The Waters Of Liverpool.

The cast of 10 includes three much-loved actors who return to their roles with the Forrester family, Maria Lovelady as Helen, Emma Dears as Helen’s Mother, and Mark Moraghan as Helen’s Father.

The cast also includes Eric Potts, Stephanie Dooley, Lynn Francis, Roy Carruthers, Danny O’Brien – who all appeared in Pulse Records’ recent production, Lennon’s Banjo. They are joined by Emily Hughes as Fiona and Nathan McMullen as Alan, both are previous members of the Liverpool Everyman Company and complete the Forrester family.

The play follows the smash-hit success of Helen Forrester ’s Twopence To Cross The Mersey and is being brought to audiences by the team behind both the musical and stage play versions of the award-winning true story.

More than 170,000 people have seen Twopence To Cross The Mersey since it was premiered, and now the long-awaited sequel visits the theatre where it all began at the Liverpool Empire.

By the age of 17, Helen had fought and won two bitter battles with her parents – the first to educate herself, the second for the right to go out to work. Her parents are as financially irresponsible as ever, wasting money while their children still lack adequate food and clothing.But for Helen, things are looking up as she begins to make new

friends and develop some social life outside the home.

By The Waters Of Liverpool takes us to the next chapter in Helen’s life. It’s now 1939, Britain is on the brink of war, Helen is now aged 20 and has never been kissed by a man. That is until she meets a tall, strong seaman. And falls in love.

Rob Fennah has written both the stage play versions of Twopence To Cross The Mersey and By The Waters Of Liverpool. This next chapter in Helen Forrester’s life story is once again produced

by Pulse Records Ltd in association with Bill Elms.

The play will be directed by Gareth Tudor Price.

Director Gareth Tudor Price commented: “We’re excited to bring By The Waters Of Liverpool to the Liverpool Empire stage, where it all began for Twopence To Cross The Mersey more than 24 years ago. Helen Forrester still has a loyal fan base, so we’re looking forward to welcoming avid readers of her books to join us for the premiere.”

ON Wednesday, October 3 at 7.30pm, Southport Theatre is maybe your last chance to relive the magical 1960s with six of the very best and most durable chart acts from the 1960’s.

With world record sales exceeding 50m, The Searchers distinctive sound and exquisite harmonies ensured songs like Sweets for My Sweet, Sugar & Spice and Needles & Pins would all hit the No 1 slot on the charts.

The Merseybeats were another of those huge international successes with triumphant chart hits, including Don't Turn Round, Wishin & Hopin, Sorrow and I Think Of You. P. J. Proby’s powerful, rich voice was unique in the 60s music scene. On November 6, this charismatic and versatile balladeer celebrates his 80th birthday. He’s calling this his farewell tour, but his hits like Hold Me, Together, Somewhere and Maria will live on for many decades to come.

When it comes to vocal harmony, The Fortunes still lead the field. Their chart successes still feature regularly on radio stations all around the world.

With songs such as You've Got Your Troubles, Here It Comes Again and Freedom Come Freedom Go, you’re experiencing quality music. Ever wondered

P.J. Proby in his motorhome at Southport theatre with his dog, Tilly, in 2011. Picture by Ron Ellis

who sang The Real Thing for the Coca Cola advert? Yes, it was The Fortunes.

In February 1968, one of the UK’s most engaging number ones, Love Affair’s Everlasting Love. surged to the top of the charts. Their vocalist, Steve Ellis, has one of rock and soul’s finest voices, his distinctive style powered hits like Rainbow Valley, A Day Without Love and One Road. Now, as powerful as ever, he’s released a new album showcasing his musical range, Boom Bang Twang produced by the Modfather himself, Paul Weller.

Vanity Fare sprang to UK, US and European fame in 1968 with a trio of superb releases, I Live for the Sun, Early in the morning and Hitchin a Ride.

The latter two hits stayed in the charts for 23 weeks and projected them to Gold Disc status with massive popularity on both sides of the pond, and as with all of tonight’s acts, they remain radio airplay favourites.

These vibrant artists and their music enjoyed the same level of adulation afforded to the likes of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. So, even if you missed the 1960s, this unmissable show will easily demonstrate why Britain’s pop acts became a solid gold global phenomenon.

A Bunch of Amateurs offers ‘a Soft’s Cell to perform perceptive glance behind the scenes’ their last ever show Review by Ron Ellis A Bunch of Amateurs by Ian Hislop and Nick Newman SDC at Southport Little Theatre WHO better to play an amateur dramatic company than another amateur dramatic company? You’re right, nobody. Especially when they do it so well.

Tony O’Keefe gave a sterling performance as Jefferson Steel, a fading Hollywood star who comes over to England to play King Lear at Stratford on Avon only to find the venue is actually Stratford St. John in Suffolk. Not the Royal Shakespeare Company but a bunch of amateur actors who are trying to save their dilapidated theatre from closure.

Instead of a hotel suite he is offered a B & B and, instead of a limousine, a mobility scooter is provided.

He is not pleased but he can’t get out of the contract so spends most of the time ranting.

The society members are not too happy at his arrogance either but the show ’s director, Dorothy (Kathy FeltonAksoy), wins the battle of wits between them hands down.

John Sharp produces his trademark

A scene from A Bunch of Amateurs. Picture by Fletcher Hill photography

over-the-top performance as luvvie, Nigel, who considers himself to be on a level with Laurence Olivier. Nigel is so furious he hasn’t been given the role of Lear himself that he is determined to sabotage the performance.

Andrew Sloman personifies the sycophantic Dozy Dennis; Helen Bennett wrings her hands credibly as a starstruck Mary and Laura Hall, playing the show ’s sponsor, Emma, induces hearty laughter from the audience when giving a provocative physiotherapy massage to a trouserless Steel.

When Steel’s estranged daughter turns up, a composed portrayal by Toni Spofforth, he decides to take his role seriously, hoping to regain her respect and affection and suddenly the produc-

tion starts to gell with triumphant results. The cast was completed by Chris Rimmer, John Delahunty, Ann Richards, Jess Wall and Laura-Jane Palmer as The Stratford Players who entertained with folksy ditties between scenes.

Although there were plenty of laughs along the way, the script suffers by too much emphasis on the basic theme of Steel’s resentment. However, under the experienced direction of Stephen Hughes-Alty, we get an entertainingly insightful look behind the curtain showing how the interplay between the competing egos of the cast creates jealousy and narcissism amongst the members.

Star rating 7 out of 10. A perceptive glance behind the scenes.

THE final – and sold out – show from Synth-pop pioneers, Soft Cell, will be broadcast live from London to cinemas across the country on Sunday, September 30.

Celebrating their 40th anniversary, this will be Marc Almond, who is from Southport, and David Ball's only and last ever show, as well as their first in 15 years.

Cinema screens across the UK and Ireland will broadcast live via satellite the entire show called Say Hello Wave Goodbye, bringing audiences closer to the electrifying energy and atmosphere of this occasion at London’s The O2 Arena. The show can be seen at cinemas in Liverpool but surprisingly not in Almond's home town of Southport.

One of the most influential groups to emerge from the electronic music scene in the UK in the 1980s, Soft Cell produced five albums of original material, book-ended by their debut; 1981’s Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret, and 2002’s Cruelty Without Beauty. The string of hits Soft Cell produced during this time, including ten tracks that reached the UK Top 40 singles charts, need little introduction.

The combination of Ball’s musicianship and Almond’s tender yet

assured delivery on songs such as Memorabilia, Torch, and their trademark Say Hello, Wave Goodbye inhabits a place in British music history.

Tainted Love, Soft Cell’s Number One hit, is perhaps their most famous. A cover of Gloria Jones’ Northern Soul staple that kept the original’s yearning tone, Soft Cell enveloped the track with a slowed down instantly recognisable synth riff.

Intervening years have seen both Marc Almond and Dave Ball’s talent recognised with successful solo careers in their own right, with Almond awarded an Ivor Novello Inspiration Award in 2013, as well as an OBE in this year’s New Year’s Honours List.

Ball went on to form The Grid, peaking with million-selling international hit Swamp Thing, as well as working as a producer and writer for the likes of Kylie Minogue and remixer for David Bowie, Pet Shop Boys, Erasure, Yello & The B52’s.

This year the duo released their first single in 15 years called Northern Lights.

NOTICE OF CONFIRMATION (OTHER THAN BY AN ACQUIRING AUTHORITY) OF A COMPULSORY PURCHASE ORDER THE HIGHWAYS ENGLAND COMPANY LIMITED (M58 JUNCTION 1 IMPROVEMENTS) COMPULSORY PURCHASE ORDER 2018 The Highways Act 1980 and the Acquisition of Land Act 1981 1. Notice is hereby given that the Secretary of State for Transport, in exercise of his powers under the above Acts, on 16 August 2018 confirmed with modifications the Highways England Company Limited (M58 Junction 1 Improvements) Compulsory Purchase Order 2018 submitted by the Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council on behalf of Highways England Company Limited.

2. The order as confirmed provides for the purchase for the purposes of the construction of two west facing slip roads at junction 1 of the M58 motorway; the introduction of the associated fencing, signing, drainage and barrier works; the construction of a new farm access track, part of which will form the continuation of an existing Public Right of Way; the formation of a junction of the farm access track with Maghull Lane and its junction with Prescot Road; and the introduction of landscaping and noise mitigation measures of the land described in Schedule 1 hereto.

3. A copy of the order as confirmed by the Secretary of State for Transport and of the map referred to therein have been deposited at Highways England Company Limited, Customer Operations Programme Office Team, 8th Floor, Piccadilly Gate, Store Street, Manchester, M1 2WD and Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council, Magdalen House, 30 Trinity Road, Bootle L20 3NJ and may be seen at all reasonable hours until 10 October 2018.

4. The order as confirmed becomes operative on the date on which this notice is first published. A person aggrieved by the order may, by application to the High Court within 6 weeks from that date, challenge its validity under section 23 of the Acquisition of Land Act 1981. The grounds for challenge can be that the authorisation granted by the order is not empowered to be granted or that there has been a failure to comply with any relevant statutory requirement relating to the order.

5. Once the order has become operative, the Highways England Company Limited may require any of the land described in Schedule 1 below by executing a general vesting declaration under section 4 of the Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981. A statement on the effect of Parts 2 and 3 of that Act is set out in Schedule 2 below.

6. Every person who, if a general vesting declaration were executed under section 4 of that Act in respect of the land comprised in the order (other than land in respect of which notice to treat has been given), would be entitled to claim compensation in respect of any such land, is invited to give information to the Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council at Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council, Magdalen House, 30 Trinity Road, Bootle L20 3NJ about the person’s name, address and interest in land, using a prescribed form. The relevant prescribed form is set out in Schedule 3 below.

SCHEDULE 1 LAND COMPRISED IN THE ORDER AS CONFIRMED Land and all interests in 2.45 hectares of agricultural land on the north and south of the M58 west of junction 1.

SCHEDULE 2 STATEMENT OF EFFECT OF PARTS 2 AND 3 OF THE COMPULSORY PURCHASE (VESTING DECLARATIONS) ACT 1981 Power to execute a general vesting declaration

relating to the land in pursuance of the invitation contained in the confirmation notice of the order. When the service of notices of the general vesting declaration is completed, a period specified in the declaration, of not less than three months, will begin to run. On the first day after the end of this period the land described in the declaration will, subject to what is said in paragraphs 3 and 5, vest in Highways England together with the right to enter on the land and take possession of it. Every person on whom Highways England could have served a notice to treat in respect of his interest in the land (other than a tenant under one of the tenancies described in paragraph 4) will be entitled to claim compensation for the acquisition of his interest in the land, with interest on the compensation from the vesting date.

3. The ‘’vesting date” for any land specified in a declaration will be the first day after the end of the period mentioned in paragraph 2 above, unless a counter-notice is served under Schedule A1 to the Act within that period. In such circumstances, the vesting date for the land which is the subject of the counter-notice will be determined in accordance with Schedule A1.

Modifications with respect to certain tenancies 4. In the case of certain tenancies, the position stated above is subject to modifications. The modifications apply where the tenancy is either a “minor tenancy”, i.e. a tenancy for a year or a yearly tenancy or a lesser interest, or “a long tenancy which is about to expire”. The latter expression means a tenancy granted for an interest greater than a minor tenancy but having on the vesting date a period still to run which is not more than the period specified in the declaration for this purpose (which must be more than a year). In calculating how long a tenancy has still to run, where any option to renew or to terminate it is available to either party, it shall be assumed that the landlord will take every opportunity open to him to terminate the tenancy while the tenant will use every opportunity to retain or renew his interest.

5. The modifications are that Highways England may not exercise the right of entry referred to in paragraph 2 in respect of land subject to a tenancy described in paragraph 4 unless they first serve notice to treat in respect of the tenancy and then serve every occupier of the land with a notice of their intention to enter and take possession after the period (not less than three months from the service of the notice) specified in the notice.

The right of entry will be exercisable at the end of that period.

The vesting of the land will be subject to the tenancy until the end of that period or until the tenancy comes to an end, whichever happens first.

SCHEDULE 3 FORM OF GIVING INFORMATION The Highways England (M58 Junction 1 Improvements) Compulsory Purchase Order 2018 To:Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council [I][We] being [a person][persons] who, if a general vesting declaration were executed under section 4 of the Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981 in respect of all the land comprised in the compulsory purchase order cited above in respect of which notice to treat has not been given, would be entitled to claim compensation in respect of [all][part of] that land, give you the following information, pursuant to the provisions of section 15 of, or paragraph 6 of Schedule 1, to the Acquisition of Land Act 1981.

1. Name and address of informant(s) (i) 2. Land in which an interest is held by informant(s) (ii) 3. Nature of interest (iii)

1.

This has the effect, subject to paragraphs 3 and 5 below, of vesting the land in Highways England at the end of the period mentioned in paragraph 2 below.

MOTORS

Jaguar has shown that all-electric cars can now manage big journeys

This 229 mile drive could be motoring history in the making

A DRIVE of just 229 miles – that’s the Champion’s offices to Birmingham, and back again – could prove to be a bit of motoring history in the making.

That’s how far Jaguar’s just sent its new IPace, a plushly-trimmed crossover that could be yours for a shade under £59,000, on a fact-finding test drive.

Only it didn’t go anywhere as boring as Birmingham, and set off instead from London’s South Bank, not stopping again until it’d reached the centre of Brussels.

I really do mean it didn’t stop at all, because there was no switching it off and letting a ferry or Eurotunnel carry it to Calais.

The Channel Tunnel’s operators gave Jaguar special permission to drive through their service tunnel, so it really did do the entire journey in one hit.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that the I-Pace is an electric car. Which didn’t have to stop to top up its batteries once on its emissionsfree adventure over three countries.

Jaguar ’s neatly executed foray across French soil is, of course, a carefully choreographed bit of carmaker PR to plug (sorry) the I-Pace, and I’ve no doubt that it could just as happily cruise 229 miles somewhere a little less exotic.

Birmingham, perhaps. But the nice ring to the achievement – and what it means for zero emissions motoring in general –

reminded me of the oldest car event of the lot.

The London to Brighton Run can trace its roots back to 1896, when the requirement to drive behind a bloke waving a red flag was lifted and Britain’s petrolhead pioneers could power towards a brighter future.

It’s marked every year by pre-1904 cars heading from the capital to the south coast and it’s still a hugely significant event, because it celebrates the beginning of British motoring as we know it.

London to Brussels, with a bit of careful nurturing, could become just as symbolic.

I can genuinely imagine an event in another 100 years’ time, when pre-2019 electric cars set off from the South Bank and retrace Jaguar’s route, disappearing into that service tunnel, and popping out the other side to cheering crowds on their way to Belgium.

It sounds fanciful now, but the feat of driving an electric car all that way and underneath the Channel through a very lonely-looking tunnel could well become this century ’s London to Brighton moment.

Why? Because it neatly sums up what electric cars are finally capable of – if one can get from London to Brussels, it’ll also certainly survive your morning commute.

I remember barely a decade ago driving an electric car for the first time and emerging thinking that it was awful.

I wouldn’t have trusted it to take me to Liverpool and back without leaving me stranded with a dead battery, let alone making it to Brussels.

That electric cars have gone from this to the I-Pace in under ten years is nothing short of extraordinary.

SPORT

Peers bags a brace as Bucks hit five at home Bootle 5 Abbey Hey 1 CARL Peers scored twice as Bootle bounced back from the previous weekend’s FA Vase defeat to claim a comprehensive victory over Abbey Hey on Saturday, writes Connor O’Neill.

After a goalless first half, in which clear-cut chances were at a premium, the Bucks went ahead through Peers three minutes into the second half.

Picking up the ball inside the Hey half, the Bucks captain for the afternoon wrestled his way through one challenge before firing an unstoppable effort into the top corner of the net from 25-yard out.

Just four minutes later, second-bottom Hey, were level.

Bucks keeper Jack McGovern failed to claim Kieran Dale's free-kick with Oliver Walker on hand to bundle the ball home from close-range.

Bootle rallied and went back ahead on 63 minutes. Charlie

Kelly’s corner found its way to Ste Hoy, who after controlling the ball on his chest volleyed the ball into the roof of the net.

Peers then collected his second of the game with another excellent solo effort.

Collecting Kelly’s short corner, the former Marine man ghosted past three defenders on the edge of the box before letting fly with a right-footed effort that flew into the net.

Stafford’s side, now in total control, added a fourth through Andrew Gillespie after the forward finished Elliott Nevitt’s low-cross on 70 minutes.

Four minutes later, substitute Karl Noon completed the rout.

Latching onto Ben Jago's through ball, Gillespie raced clear but was denied his second by Heywood who produced an impressive block but thankfully for the Bucks, Noon was on hand to stab the rebound home.

Bootle are away to 1874 Northwich on Saturday.

Dan Mitchley nods home at the near post to put Marine in front. Picture by Susan Nugent

Mariners through in FA Cup despite two penalty misses Marine 1 Frickley Athletic 0 DAN Mitchley scored the only goal of the game and missed two penalties as Marine reached the third qualifying round of the FA Cup in an action-packed clash.

It was a first win for new boss Neil Young, who would have been delighted at his side's determination as they fought off a spirited Frickley side, who ended the match with only nine men after two players were sent off.

Dan Mitchley got the only goal of the game on 46 minutes, nodding home at the near post from a corner, but the striker

failed to double his side's advantage when he missed a penalty ten minutes later.

Mitchley was at the centre of the action again in injury time, when he failed to covert from the spot once more, but it didn't matter as Marine saw out the game.

Marine will play either Nuneaton Borough or Brackley Town away in the next round on Saturday, October 6.

Meanwhile, it has been a busy week off the field for Marine, who have appointed Alan Morgan as assistant manager.

Morgan is a former Welsh U21 International and had spells as a player with Tranmere, Doncaster, Morecambe and a number of Welsh clubs. He began his mana-

gerial career at Cefn Druids in 2004 and has also managed Aberystwyth Town, Llandudno and most recently Colwyn Bay in the Evo-Stik Division One West.

The Mariners have also signed two players. Midfielder Steve Irwin, 27, joins from Stalybridge Celtic, who began his career with Liverpool in 2008 and has had time abroad with Telstar, FF Jaro and Aab. Since returning to the UK he has had spells at Skelmersdale United, FC United and Stalybridge Celtic.

Finlay Sinclair-Smith, has joined the club on loan from Blackpool. The 18-year-old is a winger who signed his first professional contract with the Tangerines in May.

Win puts Waterloo second but coach Errors cost Maghull admits it ended ‘too close for comfort’ dear in home defeat Firwood Waterloo 34 Penrith 32 A SECOND ‘five pointer’ in consecutive weeks has pushed Firwood Waterloo up to second place in North One West, just a point behind league leaders Carlisle.

Save for an early penalty advantage to the visitors, Waterloo led throughout and perhaps should have closed the game down but let Penrith come back to within two points.

Dara O’Brien opened the account with a penalty and with Firwood Waterloo dominating the early exchanges particularly up front Kurt

Riley bundled his way over for the opening try, O'Brien on hand with the conversion followed by a penalty to give Firwood Waterloo a 13-6 lead at the interval.

In the second half a break

by Scott Davidson provided the opportunity for Luke Clifford, up in support on the inside to bring up the second. Liam Launders barged over from short range for the third both converted by O’Brien to put his side 27-6 ahead.

Penrith came back with a converted try but with Clifford going over for the fourth and the bonus score, again off a break by David-

son converted by O'Brien, Firwood Waterloo looked to be clear at 34-13.

But the Cumbrians rallied with three tries and two conversions to narrow the gap to just two points, forcing the home side to hang on at the end.

Head coach Stuart Turner said: “I was pleased with the win but we had a number of opportunities to extend the lead and close the game down but Penrith decided to risk everthing in the closing stages and utilising a very dangerous full back and a speedy winger managed to get within touching distance.

“A little bit too close for

comfort but a very entertaining game nonetheless.

“I think the crowd certainly got their money’s worth!”

Turner added: “They were the best side we have played so far and when you consider that they are back in tenth place it's obvious that there are no easy games in this league.

“We will certainly look at what happened in the closing stages and see what we have to do to improve.

“Rugby is an 80 minute game and we need to be at our best throughout.”

Firwood Waterloo are away to Isle of Man side Douglas on Saturday.

Maghull 1 South Liverpool 3 DESPITE taking an early lead and dominating possession for much of the second period, defensive errors cost Maghull dearly as they suffered their third consecutive defeat, their second in the league, this time at the hands of current West Cheshire League champions South Liverpool on Saturday.

David Thomson scored that early goal with a tap in from close range after some fine work by Wayne Smith had created the chance.

An error by keeper Liam Cannon allowed the visitors to level after 15 minutes through Matt Butler.

Two minutes later another error of judgement by the same player gifted South Liverpool the lead, this time Danny Bulayima was on target.

The visitors had been reduced to ten men midway through that first period when Brad Coulter, son of former Maghull striker John Coulter, was sent off for gestures made to the referee after he had been shown a yellow card for a foul on Thomson.

But despite having that numeric advantage and the majority of the possession once again the hosts were unable to convert their territorial upper hand into goals.

Two minutes from time the visitors broke away with the lively Sharif Yusuf scoring with a low drive to ensure his side left with maximum points.

Maghull travel to Ellesmere Port to face Vauxhall Motors in a league fixture on Saturday while the Reserves entertain Ashville Reserves in the Howarth and Gallagher Bowl (2pm kick off)
