Laura launches free haircuts for homeless A TOWN centre barber has launched a scheme to help the homeless.

Laura Hollinrake, 49, who owns the Northern Quarter Barbers on Leicester Road, will donate eight free haircuts a month to the homeless people of Southport, starting this month.

She said: “I know what it feels like as three years ago, I was homeless myself at Christmas and I know how low and lonely you feel.

“Before Christmas I held a drive to donate toiletries to homeless people and now I hope to do a bit more.

“I will be providing eight free haircuts a month for homeless people as we all know how good it feels to have a haircut and clean hair.

“Hopefully I can bring some happiness to others with this small offer.”

POLICE OFFICER CAUGHT WITH CHILD PORN IS SPARED JAIL Court told Darren Wright had suffered mental health problems after twice fighting leukaemia

A MERSEYSIDE police officer was caught with a collection of almost 1,500 indecent images of children.

Darren Wright, who admitted downloading and sharing pictures of child pornography, walked free from court on Monday, January 8 after a judge heard that he suffered mental health problems after twice fighting leukaemia.

Liverpool Crown Court was told that 38year-old Wright, who was sacked in October from the job he loved, had amassed the collection over a two year period.

By our Court Reporter Robert Jones, prosecuting, said that when police officers raided the Southport house Wright shares with his parents, on June 9 last year, he was anxious to retain some medical appointments from his mobile phone and police said there was no difficulty in him doing so, provided it was under supervision.

It’s a fair cop for Merseyside Police Report by Tom Martin THIS is how the new £45million Merseyside Police headquarters will look when it is built.

The state-of-the-art facility will be the new home for Merseyside Police when it is constructed on a brownfield patch of land on Scotland Road, Liverpool, known as Estuary Business Park.

The building will be four-storeys high and big enough to house 850 officers.

It is hoped the new facility can be opened in May

THE search has started to find a youngster to play the role of ‘Tam’ in Cameron Mackintosh’s new production of Miss Saigon at the Palace Theatre.

Tam, say the theatre, is small, cute, confident and South East Asian looking. He is not younger than four and not older than six. To apply, children must live within a commutable distance of Manchester.

Miss Saigon tells the story of young bar girl named Kim, orphaned by war, who falls in love with Chris, an American GI - but their lives are torn

apart by the fall of Saigon.

Since its London premiere in 1989, the show has become one of the most successful musicals in history.

The original Broadway production opened on April 11, 1991 with what was the largest advance sale in Broadway history ($37 million). It went on to play for nearly ten years.

For further information on how to apply, email Joanne Hawes on joanne.hawes2013 @ gmail.com and includ a small head and shoulders photograph.

Newly released images reveal state-of-the-art headquarters for force

2020 if the planing application is given the goahead by Liverpool City Council. Images have now been published by Ryder Architecture which shows both the outside and inside of the modern headquarters.

A statement by the firm says: “A considerable number of jobs will be created during construction of this key site off Scotland Road on a key route which has been vacant for some time.

“The proposal has been architecturally designed to ensure the application site will be developed to enhance the area as a whole. Workplace transformation is at the heart of the design and the majority of the functions unless operationally sensitive will be located within open plan environments.

“Operational efficiency and movement flow has shaped the design with clarity of organisation a fundamental driver for both the site layout and building arrangement.”

The new headquarters will replace the current home of Merseyside Police, in the city centre's Canning Street.

The move to Everton will help the force save £15.5m overall, compared to the cost of keeping Canning Place, which was built in 1977 and is in “urgent need of essential repairs.”

Included within the proposals are a number of social value targets, including 600 weeks’ work for apprentices and student workshops for nearly 700 people.

MP says £1.3m grant will help hospitals through winter THE town’s MP, Damien Moore, has welcomed an additional £1.3m grant to help Southport and Ormskirk NHS Trust cope with winter pressures.

The extra funding has been made as part of an immediate £337m funding boost for NHS hospitals this winter.

Mr Moore said: “This is great news for Southport patients and residents. We all want to know the NHS is there for us

and our families whenever we need it, so I’m pleased the Government has given the NHS in Southport extra support at this critical time of year, when cold weather and flu can increase the pressures on hospital staff.

“Whilst my colleagues and I are supporting our local NHS by seeing services return, the Labour Party continue to undermine its improvements and suc-

cess. It is time they stopped scaremongering residents, distorting its image based solely upon Christmas Day statistics, and got on board with its continued recrudescence.”

“Southport hospital is heading in the right direction, and residents should be confident that if and when they need to use the A&E, they will receive first-class treatment.”

Shakespeare pub to be flattened to make way for housing development Report by Danielle Thompson PLANS are afoot to demolish the former Shakespeare Hotel to make way for a new housing development.

Developers, The Sovini Group, which includes Sovini Homes, One Vision Housing and Pine Court Housing, have submitted a planning application to flatten the former public house on the corner of Scarisbrick New Road, as well as the adjacent premises on Virginia Street.

Now a spokesperson for One Vision Housing has revealed to The Champion that their next move is to submit a planning application for a housing development, made up of a combination of 15 one-bedroomed apartments for the over-55s as well as eight two-bedroomed houses. They say the plans will include a provision for ‘ affordable housing.’

The Victorian building has had an intriguing past in including three closures in just two years between 2011 and 2013, with the venue shutting its doors for the last time in April 2013. It has been boarded up since, falling into a state of disrepair.

The now derelict property was once renamed WD Sutton in

honour of Southport’s founder father William Sutton, before reverting back to its original name.

In October 2011, the then-manageress of the pub held a unique protest against a film which questioned whether William Shakespeare wrote his own plays. The pub’s main sign was hidden with a black cloth by the manager Suzy Walker to highlight a ‘world without Shakespeare’ to coincide with the premiere of the controversial film ‘Anonymous’ at the London Film Festival.

The pub underwent a full re-fit in 2011, being relaunched as On the Fringe at The Shakespeare and was run by local actors, featuring a community theatre and music venue but even this quirky makeover failed to give it a future.

A spokesperson for One Vision Housing confirmed: “We are in the process of submitting proposed scheme plans for the former Shakespeare Pub to Sefton Council. The proposed plans are set to meet the area’s current housing needs by providing affordable housing.”

Arrest after town centre shooting A WALTON man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a shooting in Southport town centre when a gunman opened fire in front of terrified shoppers.

The arrest follows an incident in which a man in his 20s was shot in the head on Thursday, December 21 on Eastbank Street.

As well as the targeted victim, a bus driver also received a minor injury to his back.

In response, police carried out warrants in Southport and Walton last Thursday, January 4 and at an address on Wyresdale Road, in

Walton, a 21-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and Section 18 assault. He was taken to a police station for questioning and released on bail under investigation.

Detectives are continuing to appeal to anyone who has any information about gun crime or thinks they know where guns are being stored, to please contact the Merseyside Police gun crime hotline on 0800 230 0600 or speak to the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Merseyside PC who had 1,500 child sex images is spared jail From page 1 “The defendant appeared to be acting rather furtively with his iPhone. In fact what he was trying to do was delete some chat conversations. Those chat conversations were nothing to do with indecent images, but the police did not know that at the time,” said Mr Jones.

Police seized his phone plus a HP laptop hard drive and USB stick, which Wright said only he used.

When the equipment was analysed the images were found to involve 23 in the most serious category, 26 in the next most serious group and 1,368 in the least serious category.

Mr Jones said, “One of those is notably a very, very young child indeed.”

He said Wright was “candid” with police during interviews and admitted sharing some of the least serious images.

The court heard that the defendant did not have any previous convictions and had “exemplary conduct within the police force”.

Wright was diagnosed with cancer in 2009, went into remission, but relapsed in 2013, before again going into remission.

He pleaded guilty to five offences involving downloading indecent images, distributing some and possession between July 1, 2015 and June 10 this year.

Defence barrister James Hamilton, said Wright’s health difficulties had “a significant impact upon the reason why he offended.”

Wright had mental health problems and has since received

counselling to address his behaviour. He posed little future risk in the community and urged the judge not to jail him.

Judge Denis Watson, QC, said Wright made a positive contribution to society but developed mental health issues after two bouts of cancer.

“You reached a state of considerable isolation after your second course of chemotherapy and other treatments from 2015 onwards. It was in that position of isolation in which you found yourself that this offending was committed.”

He sentenced him to six months imprisonment suspended for two years and ordered him to carry out 35 days rehabilitation activities.

“Had you committed these offences in the course of your work as a police officer or used your position as a police officer to facilitate any of these offences, there could only have been an immediate custodial sentence.”

The judge ordered him to sign the Sex Offenders Register for seven years and imposed a Sexual Harm Prevention Order for the same length of time.

Merseyside Police’s professional standards department previously said it fired Wright following a formal misconduct hearing, which he failed to attend.

Detective Chief Superintendent Karen Cummings said: “We simply cannot afford to have police officers and support staff working for us who do not strive to uphold the highest levels of professionalism and integrity at all times.”

A WOMAN has become the first person in Merseyside to be charged with posting the names of sexual assault victims on social media.

Sophie Turner, 18 years, of Davidson Road, Old Swan, will appear at Liverpool Magistrates Court on March 7 after she was accused of posting social media messages on July 25, 2017.

It followed the sentencing of Jamie William Turner, 25, of Davidson Road, Old Swan and Myles Alexander Bell, 22, of Makin Street, Walton to 12 years in prison each for sexual activity with a child and inciting a child into sexual activity.

Sophie Turner has been charged with two counts of publishing the names of the victims of a sexual offence and two counts of harassment.

Turner and Bell were jailed for getting two young girls age between 14-17 drunk before abusing and filming them. The men exploited them, often getting them intoxicated, before abusing them and sometimes filming sexual acts and threatening to release the footage if the they did not agree to further commands.

We enjoyed a cracker of a Christmas, say Beales bosses STAFF at Beales on Lord Street are celebrating their Christmas trading figures after announcing a profits increase of 4.2 per cent on the same six week period last year.

Bosses say the increase was achieved through store sales and not on the back of online sales.

Against a backdrop of retailers announcing challenging store sales for the festive period, Beales appear to have bucked the trend and they expect similar figures from their January sales which they say ‘continue to see significant growth.’

A spokesperson for Beales, who thanked those who helped make the year a success, said: “We were particularly pleased as our sales were not achieved on the back of increases from online sales, given we have a fledging transactional site only launched in November, therefore the web did not have a material effect, we are only reporting store sales.”

Meanwhile, the Argos store on Lord Street is set to close its doors for the final time later this month.

The Champion revealed in November that the retailer’s parent company, Sainsbury’s, were set to close the Southport town centre store, while the Argos store on the Meols Cop Retail Park will remain open. Their Lord Street operation will shut for the final time on Friday, January

...but Argos set to pull the plug on Lord Street store 26. Sainsbury’s confirmed its acquisition of the Home Retail Group, a portfolio which includes all of the national Argos and Habitat stores, in September 2016. This took the retail giant's full collection to more than 600 supermarkets, more than 700 convenience stores and more than 700 Argos stores, including concessions.

The chain sold its in-store pharmacies to Lloyds Pharmacy last year for £125 million.

Two men accused of attacking neighbour in his home are cleared TWO men accused of attacking another man in a Southport flat and repeatedly stopping him fleeing for safety, have been cleared.

Warren Balshaw had claimed that while sitting in a friend’s flat watching television Gerard O’Connor and Vincent Valentine came in and his protracted ordeal began.

But after hearing evidence from the two defendants a jury at Liverpool Crown Court found them both not guilty on Monday, January 8 of three offences involving wounding Mr Balshaw and falsely imprisoning him.

Mr Balshaw, 25, had alleged that the incident began on the evening of August 1 last year while he was alone in a flat in Church Street, Southport.

He said that the defendants, who also lived in the same block, knocked at the door and after they came in he was repeatedly assaulted and his attempts to flee blocked.

O’Connor, 40, now of Stanley Road, Bootle and Valentine, 49, still of Church Street, Southport, both told the jury that the allegations were untrue.

O’Connor said that there had previously been problems over a missing mobile phone after they had been at the flat where the incident allegedly occurred and Mr Balshaw had come round “on the

bounce” and Valentine had rung the police. On August 1 Mr Balshaw came round to Valentine’s flat, where O’Connor was, and when asked what he wanted he told them to come to the other flat and they went down there.

He denied they had forced their way in and said Mr Balshaw told them he did not want them living there and grabbed the bottle of vodka they had taken with them and started swigging from it.

“He was smug and in my face making verbal threats,” said O’Connor. “I said, ‘I’m not moving and he head butted me and punched me twice on the side of the head. I put my arm out and pushed him and hit him a couple of times.”

He said Mr Balshaw went for the bottle and the three men ended up on the floor with him, with Mr Balshaw falling through the glass-topped coffee table. Valentine suffered a cut hand and after he cleaned himself up they left.

He denied trying to bite him or striking him other than twice after he was head butted. He described the allegations as “absolute nonsense.”

Valentine told the court that Mr Balshaw had tried to hit O’Connor with the vodka bottle and he grabbed his arm to stop him as did O’Connor and in the scuffle they all ended up on the floor and his hand got cut.

Rail passengers urged to plan their journey ahead of latest RMT strikes

TRAIN PASSENGERS are being urged to plan their journeys and check before they travel during this week’s industrial action by members of the RMT union on Merseyrail and Northern rail services.

Three strikes have been planned for this week the first took place on Monday with two more today, Wednesday, and on Friday, (January 12).

Merseyrail services are planned to run every 30 minutes, with the exception of the New Brighton to Liverpool services which will be every hour, from around 6.30am to 7.30pm, with a break in service between approximately 11am and 1.30pm.

Wirral services will start and terminate from James Street Station.

There will be no services on the following lines: Hunts Cross - Liverpool Central; Ellesmere Port Hooton; Chester - Hooton, Kirkby - Liverpool Central and Ormskirk - Maghull.

Merseyrail tickets will be accepted on Arriva bus services, except between 7am-9am and 4-6pm.

Report by Henry James Passengers are strongly advised to check the Merseyrail website and Twitter@Merseyrail before travelling, as it is possible that timetables will change prior to, as well as during, strike action.

Northern rail will operate a reduced service, with the majority of available trains operating between 7am and 7pm. Services on some routes will finish earlier and some stations will have no service, for more information visit the Northern rail website.

Advice Key advice for everyone in the City Region needing to travel on these dates is to plan ahead and consider your alternative travel options.

Also, check timetables and leave more time for the journey, and avoid travelling at peak times where possible. Don’t aim for the last bus or train

home as services are likely to be very busy.

Stick to public transport wherever possible to reduce congestion. People are also being advised to speak to their employer about whether there is any flexibility in working times or the possibility of working from home.

Andy Heath, managing director at Merseyrail, said: “I am really disappointed with the strike action being taken by the RMT that will, after the previous strike days, yet again result in more disruption to your services. The timing of these latest strikes, three within a week, has been deliberately scheduled so as to cause as much impact as possible to you as a passenger.

“At the request of the Metro Mayor, we agreed to independent conciliation with the RMT union with no pre-conditions, but to date, the RMT have refused to meet without pre-conditions.

“I am very keen to begin a meaningful dialogue and engage in a

Homes plan for former site of Phillips factory Report by Danielle Thompson PLANS to build up to 147 homes on the ‘eyesore’ site of the former Philips factory in Southport are set to be recommended for the green light by Sefton Council.

The 14-acre site, roughly the size of 17 football pitches, was formerly occupied

by Phillips, a television manufacturing company but since its closure, the buildings have now been mostly demolished, leaving it an eyesore according to many local residents.

Applicant Catalyst Capital LLP submitted an outline planning application earlier this year for the site, bordered by Balmoral Drive, Rufford Road and North Road, with Sefton Council recommending the plans to be approved.

The proposed layout would be fronted onto Balmoral Drive, with a combination of two and two-and-a-half storey, two, three and four bedroom houses, in terraced, semi-detached and detached forms. A number of the two-bedroomed houses will have an additional room in the roof space and all of the homes will have private rear gardens.

TIME FOR A NEW GARAGE DOOR? GREAT NEWS!!

YOU’VE GOT YOUR TIMING SPOT ON!

How the development could look

All of the semi-detached and semidetached houses have on-plot car parking for two cars, some with garages. Apart from four terraced homes, they will all have on-plot parking for one car.

Neighbours living in nearby properties raised concerns about increased traffic pressure on services but others welcomed the development describing the current state of the site as an ‘eyesore’ and suggesting it would be preferable to building on greenbelt land in the area.

The design and access statement submitted with the plans states: “The overall aim of the design proposal will be to create a modern, residential estate, with

detailed negotiation to find a middle ground which will satisfy all parties. As always, we will ensure that we deliver as robust a timetable as we can that will best serve your travel needs.”

Sharon Keith, regional director at Northern commented: “We are doing everything we can to keep our customers on the move during the three days of industrial action affecting our network.

“Those trains that do run will be on an amended timetable and are likely to be extremely busy.

“We ask our customers to plan carefully, allow extra time for travel and check the Northern website for the latest information.”

RMT General Secretary Mick Cash said: “This dispute is about putting public safety before private profit and that is the message we will be sending out on the picket lines from Monday.”

associated public realm, which will make a positive contribution to this area of Southport and impact positively on the broader community.

“The redevelopment of a large industrial site in the middle of a large residential area creates an opportunity to create an environment significantly more sympathetic to its surroundings. It will create a large area of public open space, available to all residents, whether existing or new.”

The item was deferred at the December planning committee meeting but a decision is expected to be made on the application in the coming weeks.

Golden year for taekwondo coach Claire and her students toast a belt-ing year of success!

Report by Kenny Parker TAEKWONDO instructor Claire Howard is celebrating 12 months of breaking more than just wooden boards after being awarded Lancashire Coach of the Year.

Claire, from Southport, runs martial arts club Streetwise, based in Burscough, and steered her students to a host of awards in 2017.

Formed in 2000, the club has recently moved into and refurbished its own premises on New Lane, Burscough, following a personal investment from Claire, who is a fourth dan black belt, and the help of student’s parents and friends.

In the past year, the club has entered 11 major UK competitions and has been placed third overall in one, second overall in two and first overall in two.

As well as competing in the International Taekwondo Championships in Northern Ireland, club members also competed at the Portugal Open Taekwondo Championship in November and came away with one gold, four silver and three bronze medals between them.

Four members of the club were also chosen to represent GB at the European Poomsae Championships in Rhodes in May where Streetwise member Joshua Tobin got a Silver medal.

Joshua, 12, was also honoured along with his coach, Claire, at the Lancashire Sports Awards where he received the West Lancs Young Achiever of the Year award.

Dave Edmundson, Chair Lancashire Sports Awards Judging Panel: “The panel were very impressed with Claire’s nomination.

“Her dedication to the sport and her students was evident from the amount of time and effort she put into the club, even self-funding the redevelopment

of her own space for the club. The panel were also impressed with the number of students she has supported to regional, national and international events as well as supporting other students to take on judging and teaching roles.

“Claire works tirelessly to ensure all her students are supported to reach their potential and testament to her that one of her students was also nominated in the awards this year as the West Lancashire Young Achiever of the Year.

“We were very pleased to name Claire Coach of the Year for 2017.”

About her successful 12 months, Claire said: “It's been a fantastic year. We are lucky to have such a great club, great support from parents and such a commitment from the students.”

STAY AWAY! ...that’s the stark message from NHS trust bosses to hospital visitors who have cold and flue symptoms

SOUTHPORT and Ormskirk Hospital NHS Trust is urging visitors to their sites who have cold and flu symptoms to stay away unless absolutely necessary.

Andrew Chalmers, Deputy Director of Infection Prevention and Control, said this week: “There are a number of visitors who I’ve seen visiting their relatives over the weekend who seemed particularly poorly themselves with coughs, colds and even flu-like symptoms.

“So, unless it is absolutely necessary, please stay home and get well before you visit.

“Our main priority is to contain the flu virus and to protect all our patients and ensure they fully recover as soon as possible so they can return home to their family and friends.”

And he had the following advice to people with flu symtoms... Catch it. Bin it. Kill it.

Rotary Club stage 95th President’s Dinner event MEMBERS of Southport Rotary Club held their 95th President’s Dinner with more than 130 guests at The Royal Clifton Hotel.

The Rotary president, Michael Harrison, gave a talk about what the club had achieved over the last 12 months in the way of supporting local charities

with donations and offering time and support to local and overseas ventures.

The guest speaker of the evening was the recently retired Chief Constable of Lancashire, Steve Finnigan, who is a local resident in Southport.

Full of good stories of his life as a ‘rookie’ bobby

on the beat in Merseyside, he kept his audience well entertained with his rise through the ranks to the high office of Chief Constable.

Southport Rotary Club is one of the largest clubs in the UK and plans are already in preparation for their upcoming 100th centenary celebrations.

by Danielle Thompson A SOUTHPORT Councillor is calling for the government to freeze spiralling rail prices.

Dukes Ward Councillor Tony Dawson described year-on-year price hikes for rail tickets as ‘an abuse of the travelling public’ and is calling for the government to introduce a complete ban on increasing rail prices in 2018.

Cllr Dawson's calls come weeks after a cartoonist from Birkdale started a campaign calling on rail chiefs to reinstate annual off-peak train tickets after it was revealed that passengers face having to stump up almost three times the cost of fares.

Stuart Harrison, 49, is furious that Merseyravel chiefs have pulled the plug on the annual Merseytravel offpeak Trio ticket, which allows him to use all trains, buses and ferries across Merseyside between 9.30pm-4pm and from 6pm. This means passengers will be forced to buy the peak option, which costs £1,294, an increase of £837.

Councillor Dawson said: “Rail prices in Britain are massively too expensive, full stop.

“As well as the recent record season ticket price hike to commuters, rail travellers are deterred by a complete hotch-potch of pricing and exorbitant costs of travel over any distance which often makes it much cheaper

Councillor Dawson

to congest the motorways with their cars.

“In Southport we have to put up with overcrowded cattle trucks from Manchester causing passengers to stand - even after peak commuter time - and we are not even allowed to pick up long-distance advance purchase tickets from Southport station.

“There is effectively no transport policy in this country whatsoever other than to allow very rich people all over the world to become even richer while ripping off British commuters and causing the travelling public of this country to create millions of tonnes of carbon dioxide in car journeys they would prefer not to make.

“We are paying between three and five times the European average for rail travel in Britain and the government seems happy for it to get even worse. This abuse of the travelling public just has to stop!”

Chris sets off on his thwarted journey

Report by Danielle Thompson A SUPPORT worker from Southport who wanted to cycle from one end of the country to the other in memory of his brother, was devastated when he was forced to call off his epic challenge after 325 miles due to snow!

Chris Baines set off on his bicycle from John O’Groats on Wednesday, December 20 and hoped to reach Lands End by New Year’s Day as this was the second anniversary of his brother Peter’s death at the age of just 37.

Chris, who is himself now 37, has raised more than £800 for the charities MIND and Epilepsy Research and plans to attempt the ride again in April.

He said: “Unfortunately, I had to halt the ride due to the weather.

“I managed to do 325 miles before the snow took hold and it was impossible to carry on further.

“I waited it out for three days in my tent but called a halt, exhausted and weather battered, on Friday, December 29 when the snow was still up to my knees.

“I will recommence on April 20 and do the whole ride again. The weather should be a lot more in my favour by then!”

Drink driver banned from road for 17 months A DRINK-DRIVER was caught after a service station attendant reported him to police.

When Nicholas Jagger, 34, of New Lane Pace, Banks, appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court, it was heard that he had gone to Crossens service station on Preston New Road at just after midnight on December 6.

Lynn Clark, prosecuting, said an assistant saw him picking up four cans of lager and noticed that he smelt strongly of alcohol. She told the court the defendant had driven to the garage and was watched getting back into his vehicle as it was believed the defendant was drunk.

When police stopped Jagger they noticed a ‘strong smell of alcohol’ on his breath which they described as overpowering. He told officers he had drank six cans of lager a couple of hours before.

The prosecutor added that after failing a roadside breath test, Jagger's reply when cautioned and arrested by the officer was: “I do not usually do this. I’ve had a bad day at work.”

Subsequent breath tests showed he was driving with 75 micrograms of alcohol in 100ml of breath, the legal limit being 35mcg/100ml.

Solicitor Nick Archer emphasised that Jagger had never been in trouble with the law before.

Saying that he is a warehouse worker in Skelmersdale and that the inevitable disqualification would hit him hard, he added: “He finished work at 10pm and had a drink at home. He fancied another couple of beers but did not realise the extent to which the alcohol was in his system.

“It was a five minute drive from his home to the garage and it did not occur to him that he should not drive at that stage.”

The magistrates fined him £300, ordered that he pay £115 in costs and victim surcharge, and banned him from driving for 17 months.

LETTERS to the Editor

No need to point the finger at bankers Some statistics for recent correspondent, Mr Trevelyan:The DWP confirms that 6.8 million people are in receipt of work benefits in the UK .

The Trussell Trust confirm that 590,000 people are using food banks in the UK. So out of the most vulnerable people in society, 91.3% can manage their finances whilst on benefits without need for food banks and 8.7% cannot.

No need to point the finger at bankers or anyone else. These are the figures.

Remoaners are the real nasty ones I feel I must reply to Tim Baker’s rant about ‘Nasty Brexiteers’ in the January 3, issue of the Southport Champion.

From my point of view anybody who supports Brexit is merely supporting the result of the referendum, whereas it is ‘brainwashed remoaners’ who are being nasty in opposing the democratic will of the people.

Perhaps these same doom-monger remoaners actually supported the decision of Sefton Council in 2003 to hold another referendum on the future of Sefton's Council houses when the first referendum failed to produce the result the council wanted.

They published doubtful propaganda to brainwash the tenants into voting the opposite way the

second time round and the result was consequently reversed.

That was not democracy, that was blatant incompetence, but that is exactly what is to be expected from those who supposedly work in the interests of this area.

In a true democracy you must work in accordance with the will of the people and that is to leave the European Union come what may.

The referendum in 1975 was for the United Kingdom to join the ‘Common Market’ a very different body than the monster into which it has now developed without any further reference to the people.

The voting would have been in total opposition to the marginal majority it then received if those same people had known what the future held.

Nobody can change the past, so, at this stage, if we were to hold a second referendum in favour of staying then we have already been warned of what the future will be for the UK and nothing about it is favourable to us.

For example, the adoption of the Euro currency, a single army, the centralisation of taxation and the requirement of £billions more from our ‘treasure island’ as we are referred to by the MEP's in the European Parliament.

So, accept the inevitable instead of being such misery guts and understand the fact that the UK is leaving the EU no matter how much anybody moans about it.

PICTURE of the week

There are so many better ways to mark an occasion than by releasing helium balloons...

Please can I appeal through your letters page to ask kind hearted and well meaning people to stop carrying out helium balloon releases?

There are so many better ways to mark an occasion or remember a loved one, such as planting a tree or simply lighting some candles.

I’m sure that those who arrange or take part in balloon releases would be horrified if they realised the potential danger to wildlife on land or sea.

Landed balloons can choke birds, farm animals and sea life. Turtles, which increasingly visit our waters, can mistake deflated balloons for jellyfish, their favourite food. Birds get entangled in the trailing ribbons that stay in the environment for years.

So please can I ask that we all think of the potential damage and lasting pollution that these balloon releases can cause. This only adds to the tragedy that has often preceded the release; a heartbreaking event can be followed by a long lasting legacy that the participants never imagined.

A concerned wellwisher Southport

War hurts everyone I note with interest and agree with Neville Grundy’s letter regarding who should attend Remembrance Day services.

It’s definitely not necessary to wear a uniform to get injured or killed.

Stuart Elliot’s suggestion that only organisations with direct links to the armed forces should

be allowed to lay wreathes on Remembrance Day is utter nonsense.

Thousands of dogs, birds and horses are killed in wars not to mention how many are cruelly experimented on during war and peacetime.

Everyone suffers during wars.

Reunion appeal in the Champion worked a treat!

Three walkers and their dog managed to avoid the an impromptu sea spray shower as Storm Eleanor whipped up last Wednesday’s high tide in Southport. Picture by Martyn Snape.

Please do not inflict present day pop music on the elderly Fred McCann raises a very interesting matter in his recent letter in The Champion.

Until 2011, I regularly visited a lady in one of Southport’s better nursing homes before she passed away aged 101.

I was appalled to find her radio, left on by a staff member, emitting the raucous noise of present-day pop.

Completely incapacitated by a stroke and by now very ill with the end of life in sight, this lady could not ask for it to be turned off or get rid of the torture herself.

I realised that nobody still of

working age was old enough to remember the intense divergence of opinion on popular music in the late 1950s and 1960s.

People either loved or hated rock’n’roll and there must still be people, now very old, who have never listened to a single note of what we know as pop of their own volition.

I wrote to the matron of the home to explain this and she thanked me for doing so, telling me that she had been struggling to get the same notion through to the younger staff without success.

Our musical tastes are often

formed for life in our teens and Fred is quite right to call for entertainers of people in their 70s and 80s to familiarise themselves with the music of the late 1950s and ’60s.

But please, will care-home staff learn that some of their most elderly residents (and perhaps some not so elderly) may prefer something like BBC Radio 3 or Classic FM to anything else and certainly do not want today's pop inflicted on them?

David Suffolk, Southport

Classic bed blocking My 91 year old mother in law was ready for discharge from Southport Hospital at 11.30 am on December 22, all paperwork done.

The family had to collect her to take her to her care home at 9pm on December 23 because there were no ambulances available.

Classic bed blocking caused by NHS inefficiencies!

PM, Southport (by email)

Regular readers to the ‘Letters Columns’ of this newspaper, will recall the insertion of a recent letter of mine, explaining the camaraderie of those who had served in the Royal Navy.

I explained that this could be re-lived at the various reunions held around the country and that these were listed on the www.rnshipmates.co.uk site under ‘reunions.’

Well thank you (the Champion) - you have certainly scored and made a lot of ex servicemen think back again. They have emailed me on royalnavyreunions@gmail.com and the secretaries of various associations have contacted me and as a result a lot more reunions are listed. I can certainly see a lot more old shipmates reliving their past experiences!

But that is not all, following a request about a reunions listing for those who have served in the Royal Air Force, there is now one available by email.

Not many on it at present, so ex RAF, let’s have those reunions emailed to me on royalairforcereunions@gmail.com including dates, which association, where, and who to contact.

Grateful for support of staff at hospital My husband was recently admitted to Southport Hospital Stroke Unit (Ward 10b) and received ‘end of life’ care for 11 days.

All of the staff including consultants, doctors, nurses, health care assistants, palliative care

staff (from Queenscourt Hospice), ancillary staff and the hospital chaplain provided excellent care for my husband All of his needs were addressed and he was kept comfortable and pain free.

The staff provided much

needed support to me and my family during this very difficult time; everything was explained carefully and sensitively, for which I am very grateful.

Campaigner welcomes leaseholds ban Report by Danielle Thompson A SOUTHPORT Councillor has welcomed a ban on new leasehold property agreements – but has spoken out with concerns for those who are already ‘trapped in a feudal system.’

Communities Secretary Sajid Javid, announcing the leasehold ban recently, said: “Selling new houses on a leasehold basis will be banned and new ground rents will be set to zero in a bid to end these practices in Britain’s construction industry.

“It’s unacceptable for home buyers to be exploited through unnecessary leaseholds, unjustifiable charges and onerous ground rent terms.”

Councillor Pat Keith, who has been campaigning for the last two years to rid the property market of leasehold arrangements, told the Champion: “I’m delighted the government have kept their promise to take action on this totally unfair system, but this doesn’t help those people whose homes are under lease.

“Ending leasehold houses and setting ground rents to zero is a good starting point. I hope this will put an

Cambridge Ward Councillor Pat Keith with a copy of a leasehold property agreement

end to investors capitalising on home buyers.

“The majority of these people have put every penny they have into buying a property and should not be exploited.

“I highlighted the cases of several home owners who had to pay large sums of money just to improve their properties.

“In effect they are tenants rather than owners and so have been stripped of full decision-making on their own homes as well as having to pay service charges.

“I hope the Government will now act to help them.”

World War Two air raid warden is 100 years old A former World War Two air raid warden has credited ‘working hard and a loving family’ for helping her to reach her 100th Birthday.

Mum-of-two Winnifred Hulse celebrated her centenary birthday with her family and friends at Parklands Lodge nursing and residential care home in Southport. The gran-offour, who also has nine great-grandchildren, enjoyed entertainment, a buffet and toasted the occasion with wine at the celebration, and she also received a special congratulations card from the Queen.

The former midwife, who worked as an air raid warden during the Second World War, was born in Ormskirk and lived in Skelmersdale before moving to Manchester with her husband Len and having sons William and Derek. She moved to Crompton Road in Southport in 1954 with her husband, who passed away aged 78 in 1994.

She said: “My secret is working hard and having a loving family.”

Benn Mott, the home manager, added: “It is a privilege celebrating one of our lovely ladies’ milestone birthdays with her.”

Hamper gifts help vulnerable families

COMMUNITY groups and organisations across Sefton have been given hampers to help the most vulnerable people of the borough.

Staff from The Sovini Group delivered the food parcels, which were a mix of different items, to community centres and food banks across the area.

Some of these included Sefton Children’s Trust, Sefton Children’s Centre, Netherton Park Neighbourhood Centre, Sefton and Litherland

Children’s Centre, Sefton Foodbank and One Vision Housing customers.

It is estimated that this will help around 73 households.

Gifts were tailored to each recipient providing everything from food to clothes for babies and children.

Roy Williams, The Sovini Group Chief Executive Officer said: “It’s important for us to support not only our customers but the local community in general.

“Our staff are always trying to find ways to overcome financial hard-

ship and loneliness.” Netherton Park Neighbourhood Centre received gifts for more than 20 families that receive their support.

Cllr Susan Bradshaw is part of the Family Support Team at the community centre and said: “We really appreciate all the support for the people and families in our local community.”

£11.5m plan for retirement apartments A DEVELOPER has revealed plans to build 55 retirement apartments in Southport in a development worth £11.5million.

Adlington has targeted land on Alexandra Road to construct the new homes, which will be made available for people over the age of 55.

The apartment building will feature a table

service restaurant, a homeowners’ lounge, hairdressing salon, activities and crafts room, spa suite and landscaped gardens.

Flexible 24-hour onsite support will be available, should it be needed, offering complete ‘reassurance and peace of mind.’

Claire Reede, Adlington Marketing Manager said: “The development sits in

the heart of the community, just a short distance from the town centre and close to the beautiful Hesketh Park - plus there’s a bus stop just down the road.

“To provide elegant retirement living apartments, with the option of 24-hour support, in such a convenient location, is fantastic.

“Our apartments are great for those looking to downsize.”

Some of the damage caused by the fire

Arena events go ahead despite car park inferno Report by Tom Martin EVENTS at the Echo Arena will go ahead as planned, despite the fire which caused extensive damage to the nearby multi-storey car park.

The huge blaze destroyed around 1,300 cars, and it's now looking likely that the building will have to be demolished.

But events at both the Echo Arena and the Liverpool Arena and Conference Centre (ACC) have been going ahead since the fire, which happened on New Year's Eve, and will continue to do so.

Meanwhile, 24 hour security has been set-up around the King’s Dock car park to prevent public access and last weekend hoardings were put up around the building for health and safety reasons.

Liverpool City Council’s Parking Services team is currently making contingency arrangements to provide extra open-air parking in the area.

As soon as the site has been made secure, structural engineers will begin the process of determining the viability of the structure.

The process of removing the 1,305 vehicles that were parked inside is

estimated to take many weeks, as most were entirely incinerated.

However, Mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson says that some vehicles could be saved and returned to their owners.

He said: “Frankly, it’s likely that the car park will have to be demolished as the fabric of the building has been extensively damaged. To put this in perspective, one of the cars of the third floor has actually crashed through to the floor below.

“I know that some cars have not been destroyed and those people will rightly want to retrieve their vehicles and contents, but I would ask them to bear with us while the recovery work continues.

“We will do everything we can to try and recover any vehicles and possessions that are still viable, but everyone needs to understand that the car park was an inferno and the vast majority of cars were completely incinerated.

“We are dealing with a freak event and people who have worked in this field for a lifetime have never known anything like it.

“Thank God there was no loss of life in the fire. However public safety must continue to be our number one concern.”

MOTHERS who have given birth at Ormskirk hospital have voted it to be one of the best places for midwifery care across the country.

In an NHS watchdog report, Mum’s have officially ranked ‘Maternity Services’ at the Wigan Road site the 11th best in England. Ormskirk hospital outscored more than 50 other Trusts across the country.

More than 100 mothers completed the detailed questionnaire and gave feedback on health and care, including: the quality of care given throughout the antenatal, labour, birth and post-natal stages.

One Mother of two, Louise Flavell, from Skelmersdale, is one recent example of an overjoyed mum when in mid-November she had her baby Ava-Marie at the Ormskirk unit in her 34th week of pregnancy.

Louise, 42, said: “I cannot praise the neonatal staff at Ormskirk hospital enough for the way they are looking after my gorgeous girl - thank you so much to everyone.”

Lynne Eastham, head of Midwifery, said: “Following the survey and our 2016 Care Quality Commission report, we focused on further improving our culture and approach to care and safety.

We always ensure staff work better together so that the parent,

“From the report’s findings - it states that we are now ranked one of the best maternity units in the country.

A CAMPAIGN is underway to find volunteers to check on the welfare of people detained in police custody.

Merseyside's Deputy Police Commissioner Cllr Emily Spurrell is inviting anyone looking for a new challenge for 2018 to consider becoming an independent custody visitor.

The Independent Custody Visiting programme was established following the investigation into the Brixton riots in 1981 and is now the responsibility of Police and Crime Commissioners to operate in their respective areas across the country.

The scheme sees volunteers undertake random, unannounced visits of police cells to check on the conditions and make sure those being held are being cared for appropriately.

There is currently a committed team of 23 volunteers who dedicate their time to the scheme, but the deputy commissioner is now looking to get up to ten more people involved.

The volunteers visit the region’s custody suites in pairs, at varied times of the night and day, throughout the year.

Once on site, they check on the welfare of those detained and the conditions within the suite and produce a report for the Police Commissioner, Jane

Cllr Emily Spurrell

Kennedy, and her Deputy. They can then raise any issues directly with Merseyside Police.

Cllr Spurrell said: “Independent Custody Visitors (ICVs) carry out an important public duty which provides reassurance to the public, the police and to me that we are detaining men and women here on Merseyside properly and caring for them appropriately.

“Detainees are potentially vulnerable and visits by our ICV volunteers are a key protection for them and a vital part of our criminal justice system, ensuring their legal entitlements and rights are respected.

“This is an interesting and rewarding role where volunteers

can make a real difference within their community and get an insight into how our police system operates. By volunteering for this scheme, people can play their part in promoting the highest standards of policing.

This is a fantastic opportunity for people who are looking for a new challenge for the New Year.”

Volunteers must be over 18 years old and live or work in the Merseyside area. Full training will be given. It is expected that volunteers make one visit a month.

If you are interested in applying, visit the website www.merseysidepcc.info The deadline for applications is Friday, February 2.

Take extra care on towpaths this winter THE Canal & River Trust is calling on people to enjoy the borough’s waterways safely this winter by taking extra care on towpaths.

Given the potential for low temperatures and wet and windy conditions, it’s important, say the trust, to take extra care, wrap up warm and check the weather before heading for a walk or run along a towpath.

Tony Stammers, head of safety at the Canal & River Trust, said: “As the temperature drops, our waterways look beautiful in the frost and snow and the towpath is a perfect place to head for a wintery walk.

“However, with the cold temperatures

test the thickness of the ice.” Tony offered the following advice for staying safe: l Whether running or walking, be safe and tell someone where you are heading – take your mobile phone. l The towpath can be slippery when wet and icy so wear sturdy footwear and be careful where you tread. l Daylight draws in fast during the winter months so keep an eye on the time. l Ice will not support your weight. Do not step on the ice and never follow a pet onto the ice.

Report by Henry James and the dark afternoons and nights, it’s even more important to take care and stay safe when out and about.

“Look out for icy conditions. Towpaths, bridges and lock-sides can become slippery at this time of year and snow can conceal boat mooring rings and ropes.

“And while frozen canals look beautiful, obviously no-one should ever attempt to walk on or

Charity chief wants more help for disabled people in poverty

Chris Simmonds, chief executive of Revitalise

THE chief executive of a charity which runs respite breaks for disabled people and their carers in Southport, is calling for urgent action to help families in poverty.

Revitalise CEO Chris Simmonds was responding to a new study from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, UK Poverty 2017.

Staff at the charity, which runs the Sandpipers centre in Southport, providing respite breaks for disabled people and carers from the region, have already noted increasing demand for hardship support in recent years.

As a result, Revitalise has increased its funding support to help those facing increasing hardship and poverty by

around 400% in the past five years. By the end of January 2018, Revitalise will have provided funding in excess of £650,000, helping over 1,300 people in financial hardship take muchneeded breaks with the charity.

Chris Simmonds said: “The media is right to focus on the upswing in children and older people in relative poverty, but let’s not forget that the most vulnerable people in society are also disproportionately affected.

“It is extremely concerning to find 30% of households with disabled members are living in poverty - that’s 50% more than households unaffected by disability. We are working hard to make our contribution to combating

GOODYEAR FURNITURE CENTRE

this and our financial support for respite breaks for those experiencing hardship has increased four-fold over the past five years in response to increasing demand, but clearly more needs to be done in terms of statutory support.

“JRF’s research also reveals a clear link between poverty and a disproportionate strain on relationships.

Relationships between disabled people and carers are already under huge stress and support must be in place before they reach breaking point.

“Half of our guests told us that a break with us could have or did prevent their relationship from breaking down.”

Paddington rescued my TV viewing!

I SUPPOSE I owe the television companies some kind of apology - though I’m still afraid I’ll now have to wait until Christmas this year to be able to re-record The Grinch or The Polar Express, both of which were sadly lacking from the Yuletide schedules this time around for the first time I can remember for years.

Still, for me at least, two programmes screened early in this new year actually made up for those two shocking omissions. Of course, neither were on what you would call the ‘major ’ stations, but happily I managed not to miss them anyway.

First up - and I very nearly didn’t bother with it because I assumed it would be a Disney-style cartoon version - was the excellent production of Paddington on Film4, Boxing Day. This featured Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins and Nichole Kidman, plus the voice of Ben Wishaw as the admittedly ‘cartoon’ small bear. But this was not a Disney bear at all. It looked and moved like a real bear - and I at least found it very easy actually to believe it WAS a real bear.

Except, perhaps, for one thing - because this Paddington reminded me very strongly of my adopted Collie, Cinders. If you were lucky enough to see this production you will have a really good impression not only of the way little Cinders looks and behaves generally, but also in her sometimes gross eating habits also!

As far as marmalade sandwiches go, I don’t think Cinders has ever had the opportunity to try them I am pretty certain though that if she ever does, she will share Paddington’s enthusiasm for this particular delicacy.

Truthfully, I was very near to tears when Paddington was apparently about to be stuffed and mounted - only of course to be rescued at the last minute.

If you have seen this excellent film I hope you share my enthusiasm for it. If you haven’t and get the opportunity so to do, I heartily recommend it.

The other film, A Christmas Carol on BBC 4 on New Year’s Day, I have seen before but was more than happy to watch again.

In my opinion, this adaptation of Charles Dickens’ Christmas ghost story by Clive Donner is quite the best, sticking most nearly to the original plot.

And George C Scott’s portrayal of Ebenezer Scrooge is masterful - though Alistair Sim’s Scrooge in the classic 1951 film does take some beating.

Why we had to wait for until a week after Christmas to see it, I really don’t know - but it was worth waiting for.

On another old tack though, not everything in my world has got off to a good start in 2018.

You may remember some time ago I related my woes brought on by my GP asking me to go for a blood test. Well, just before Christmas a mix-up in my prescription led to my GP asking for a further blood test, which had to be booked by me.

I won’t bore you with all the ins and outs of what occurred this time, but the fact is that I had to set out, again, for my local Boots chemist, hopefully to finally pick up my prescription. Assuming all goes well, this will mean that what started out as a simple picking up of a repeat prescription from my local chemist, will have involved me in six oneand-a-half-mile walks, two in the freezing cold and one in lashing rain.

I suppose all this could be said to prove that whatever medicines I have been prescribed are working, since I have managed all this without incident (apart from being cold, wet and fed up).

But I am still committed to yet another walk to the surgery where the practice nurse wants to check up on how I am faring.

My mind boggles.

Funding boost handed to Sefton Children’s Trust MEMBERS of a children's charity have boosted the coffers of the Sefton Children’s Trust.

The team from the Merseyside Children’s Fund held their annual three-course fundraising Christmas Carvers lunch at the Britannia Adelphi Hotel in Liverpool, which was attended by more than 250 supporters.

It was followed by entertainment from five comedians headlined by Mick Miller.

They also held a fundraising raffle, with prizes including a four ball round of golf donated by Formby Hall Golf Club, a £100

M&S gift voucher and a weekend for two at the Adelphi Hotel.

This year, the charity has paid for children to visit Knowsley Safari Park; a trip to Chester Zoo; provided furniture for a severely disabled child; a Christmas party for 100 children at the Adelphi.

Merseyside Children’s Fund chairman Jim Donaldson, from Southport, presented the Sefton Children’s Trust, who support young people and their families experiencing difficulties, with a cheque for £2,000 to assist with their recent Christmas activities.

A PENSIONER has lodged a petition containing almost 100 signatures against plans for a small children’s care home in Southport.

Ian Neale, 82, a former police officer, has collected 99 signatures against plans submitted by New Hope Residential Care Home to change the use of 46 Kingston Crescent from a residential property to a care home for children aged seven-17.

The planning statement outlines plans for no more than six residents living together as a single household, with up to three of these being staff members.

He handed the petition to Meols Ward Councillor John Dodd to present to Sefton Council’s planning department.

Mr Neale said: “The property is very small and it is not a suitable development for the peaceful bungalow estate primarily occupied by elderly and vulnerable residents.

“There are no facilities in the close vicinity for the children and their presence would lead to stress and conflict for residents.”

A different planning application to change the use of 31 Kingston Crescent from a single dwelling to a residential children's care home was withdrawn in November.

A decision is expected to be made on the 46 Kingston Crescent application this month.

School first in country to be given eco honour TEACHERS and pupils at a Southport primary school are celebrating after being the first in the country to receive a special eco award from the international development charity CAFOD. Key figures including governors and local clergy were invited to Our Lady of Lourdes Primary School in Birkdale to see the Live Simply Award, which was presented to them after they proved how their school community has been living simply, sustainably and in solidarity with people in poverty by holding a day of eco-friendly events.

Pupils and attendees enjoyed a Fairtrade tuckshop, and a special assembly led by the children. A pupil from each class across the school who had showed an outstanding commitment to the project received their own certificate, and classes took part in environmentally friendly activities such as bulb planting and creating posters encouraging their peers to switch off lights.

They kick-started their commitment to being ecofriendly when they won a £50,000 competition grant, which they spent on installing solar panels and a panel which shows their energy usage clearly

on display. Children in the school attend a gardening club, growing their own fruit and vegetables, which they make soup out of and share. Each year, they learn about issues across the world, including about the refugee crisis.

Annie Swainson, the school’s religious education subject leader, said: “The ongoing effort from children across the school has been inspiring. The support from families in the school is equally incredible and we are very grateful!

“It was great that so many governors, community members and clergy could come down to celebrate us being the first school to receive the award – it was a real community event. This isn’t just a one off, it’s a commitment. Our actions will be carried into the future as we develop and grow the project.”

Headteacher Maureen Hillsdon added: “I am very proud of our school community in achieving the CAFOD Live Simply Award. To be the first nationally to gain this prestigious award is amazing. We will continue our commitment and put our faith into action going forward.”

Conference to support budding businesses Report by Tom Martin BOOTLE Town Hall will host a conference designed to encourage the next generation of budding entrepreneurs.

The Enterprise Hub Start-up Business Conference Sefton will be held on Thursday, February 1, and has been organised by Enterprise Hub, in partnership with Sefton Council's support body Invest Sefton.

Starting at 10am and running until 1pm, the event will feature local business owners who will share tips on how they moved from an idea to a successful business, offer group activities to understand the practicalities involved in self-employment, as well as networking opportunities and the chance for free support to get your business idea off the ground.

The conference is part of the Enterprise Hub Business Start-Up Festival which will run from January 22 to February 9, and will offer a range of workshops, dropins, and advice sessions for any-

one thinking of starting a business. But Enterprise Hub said five free conferences, including the Sefton event, lie at the heart of its aim to engage more budding entrepreneurs throughout the region.

This is the first festival of its kind Enterprise Hub has staged since it was launched in December 2015, to support business start-ups across the Liverpool City Region.

It was inspired by the huge success of the Enterprise Hub StartUp Week last September, opened

by Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram at the Bootle offices of Invest Sefton, who said: “New business start-ups are as important as large

scale inward investments to growing the Liverpool City Region economy and increasing our prosperity.”

Jackie Williams, Enterprise Hub Project Manager, and Enterprise Director at Liverpool social enterprise The Women’s Organisation, said: “We are so excited to be launching our first Enterprise Hub Business Start-up Festival this year.

“The Liverpool City Region is buzzing with entrepreneurial ideas and talent, and we want to use this opportunity to harness that talent and give people every chance to soak up advice to get their business started.”

ENTERTAINMENT

New Take That musical aiming to shine at Empire

Clive John as Johnny Cash

Spirit of Man in Black is alive and kicking

THE spirit of the Man in Black is alive and kicking in the Johnny Cash Roadshow which is coming to the Southport theatre on Saturday, January 20.

This show aims to be entertainment from the first note.

It caters for country music lovers and die hard Cash fans alike.

Clive John aims to capture the essence of Cash and performs favourites such as Walk the Line,

Folsom Prison Blues and A Thing Called Love.

He also duets on songs including: Don’t You Think It’s Come Our Time and Jackson.

Martin Bentley is on bass, Nick Davis on guitars, Darren Bazzoni on drums and backing vocals are provided by Louise Masters and Amanda Stone, who add sparkle and glamour as the Carter sisters.

A spokesman for the Johnny Cash Roadshow commented: “Despite the band’s professional portfolio and slick stage presence they reach a direct intimacy with audiences of all ages that other performers can’t quite pull off.

This is more than just a show, it’s a heart warming story played out with genuine passion and a wonderful celebration of one of the world’s greatest known artists.”

Bolton to perform at city venue MICHAEL Bolton, a multiple Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter and social activist, who has sold more than 65 million records worldwide, is coming to the Liverpool Empire on Monday, February 12.

Bolton remains committed to humanitarian causes, especially through the Michael Bolton Charities, now in its 24th year.

In recognition of his artistic achievements, Michael won two Grammys for Best Pop Male Vocal Performance (nominated four times), six American Music Awards, and a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

As a songwriter, he has earned

over 24 BMI & ASCAP Awards, including Songwriter of the Year, nine Million-Air awards, and the Hitmakers Award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

To date, Michael has seen eight studio albums rank in the Top Ten, with nine #1 singles. He is preparing to release his 27th album, Songs of Cinema, a tribute to beloved songs from the world’s most iconic films.

Bolton has written with some of the greatest and most diverse talent of the time, including Bob Dylan, Paul Stanley, Lady Gaga, Diane Warren, and David Foster. editorial@champnews.com

Jayne McKenna, Emily Joyce, Rachel Lumberg, and Alison Fitzjohn. Picture by Matt Crockett

TAKE That’s UK tour of Tim Firth’s new musical, The Band, with the music of Take That comes to the Liverpool Empire from January 23 to February 3.

Joining the previously announced AJ Bentley, Nick Carsberg, Curtis T Johns, Yazdan Qafouri and Sario Solomon, collectively known as 5 to 5, winners of BBC’s Let It Shine, who will play The Band, Rachel Lumberg as Rachel and Faye Christall as Young Rachel, will be Emily Joyce as Heather, Alison Fitzjohn as Claire, Jayne McKenna as Zoe, Katy Clayton as Young Heather, Sarah Kate Howarth as Young Claire, Lauren Jacobs as Young Zoe, Rachel le Diedericks as Debbie, Martin Miller as Jeff and Andy Williams as Dave.

AJ Bentley studied dance before taking part in Let It Shine. Nick Carsberg was a classic car restorer before taking part in Let It Shine. Curtis T Johns has been a songwriter for the last eight years, writing for artists such as Matt Cardle and Ray Quinn.

He also owns and runs a rugby club in his home city of Leeds. Yazdan Qafouri is originally from Iran, but was raised in the North East of England.

Sario Solomon made his professional debut at the age of 11 in Oliver! at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane.

Rachel Lumberg’s most recent tours include This Is My Family, The Full Monty, Dandy Dick and Calendar Girls. Faye Christall’s theatre credits include Broken Biscuits (Paines Plough), Gone Viral (St James Theatre) and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Edinburgh Fringe Festival), and she is part of the Cirque Du Soleil Company.

Emily Joyce’s television credits include series regulars Jill in My Almost Famous Family, Sarah Fletcher in Mutual Friends and Janet Dawkins in My Hero. Her most recent theatre includes Judy in the West End production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time.

Alison Fitzjohn has just finished as assistant director and performer in David Walliams's tour of Gangsta Granny.

She also played The Queen of Hearts/Duchess in the Olivier-nominated immersive production of Alice’s Adventures Underground by Les Enfants Terribles. Over the past 12 years, Alison has performed all over the world in Horrible Histories, Barmy Britain and Horrible Science. Jayne McKenna’s recent theatre credits include Rose Naracott in War Horse in the West End, Sylvia in This Happy Breed for the Peter Hall Company, Lily Gibb in Men Should Weep at the National and Lady Macbeth in Macbeth at the Northcott Theatre. She also appeared in the film version of the National Theatre’s production of London Road as Imelda.

Katy Clayton made her first TV appearance at the age of six on Coronation Street. She appeared in various TV shows such as Casualty, Shameless and Waterloo Road and played series regular Samantha Booth in Where the Heart Is for four years.

The Band is a new musical about what it’s like to grow up with a boyband. For five 16 year-old friends in 1992, ‘the band’ is everything. 25 years on, we are reunited with the group of friends, now 40-something women, as they try once more to fulfil their dream of meeting their heroes.

DEATHS

BAILEY ERIC RONALD 2nd January 2018

Eric Ronald Bailey, age 82, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, January 2nd, 2018, at his home in Birkdale, Southport. Born in Liverpool on November 4th, 1935, to Mildred Fowler and Vincent Bailey, Eric was one of five children - Jeanne, Arthur, Teddy, Thelma and himself.

On 29th March 1960, he married his childhood sweetheart, Joan, and lovingly had three children, Merrill, Kerryn and Nigel. Eric loved singing and entertaining, and in the late 60â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s travelled with his wife and children to working menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clubs across the country, performing as the family act â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The McCalistersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for a number of years.

Like a true performer, Eric loved to make people laugh with silly jokes and anecdotes, bringing the sunshine to any room he entered.

Avoiding wearing anything black, family, friends and all others whose lives Eric touched are invited to Southport Crematorium at 2pm on Monday, January 22nd to say goodbye to this warm, welcoming gentleman.

Family Flowers only.

Donations are being gratefully accepted on behalf of the Asthma Society c/o FJ GIBB Funeral Directors.

UNLESS you were fed oversteer with your alphabetti spaghetti from an early age it’s very hard to make it as a professional racing driver.

There are exceptions to the rule but generally to make the grade in top flight motor sport you need to have a sizeable amount of raw talent, a proven track record of working your way up through increasingly scary single-seaters, total fearlessness about losing it on a slippery right-hander and a considerable amount of cash – and even then you might get a politely worded letter of rejection from Sauber.

But it’s going to be even harder with the latest racing series that’s being launched, because it’s so tech-savvy that it dispenses with those pesky human drivers entirely. I suppose Roborace was inevitable in an age where you can do your shopping by drone and Donald Trump is forever contemplating ordering a nuclear launch from one of his golf courses. It’s not even a remote control

affair; all the racing will be done on engineers’ laptops beforehand, programming the cars to strut their stuff autonomously.

The tech itself is a smart move. Back in the 1950s Jaguar made a big deal about its Le Mans-proven disc brakes filtering down to its XK150s and Mk2s and it’s the same story here; if the future of driving really is autonomous, then surely having it honed in the white heat of motor sport is a good idea? I know the Government’s very keen on self-driving cars, but there are still all sorts of logistical headaches to clear up, and sorting it on a race track is safer (and more fun) than doing it on the M57.

But what I’d like to see isn’t a load of autonomous cars racing each other; it’s man versus machine, which is surely what all motor sport is about in the first place. Who wants to see a load of glorified laptops dancing around one another when they can watch one robo-racer set a time around a circuit or up a hillclimb, and then see if any of their human-operated counterparts can beat it?

I bet most kids in a Honda Type-R reckon they could kick a robot’s arse at a track day – and in doing so, they’ll be helping to improve the future of driving for the rest of us.

Bring it on.

Port show spirit but lack cutting edge to break down defence Report by Jonathan O’Byrne FC United of Manchester 0 Southport 1 SOUTHPORT’S first ever trip to Broadhurst Park was played in front of a crowd of 2,863 spectators, although with fewer away fans than expected as the supporters’ coach had broken down.

The match was played on Sunday as Manchester City were at home the previous day and Southport were hoping to make it three games undefeated following their draw and win over Chorley during the festive period.

Loanees Dominic Smith and Jordan Hallam had returned to their respective clubs meaning a first start for Clive Smith and a recall for Nathan Lowe.

The Yellows now sit in 18th position in the National League North but three teams below could overtake them if they win their games in hand.

The two home matches in the next fortnight, against fellow strugglers Leamington and Stockport County, therefore become massively important.
