On the road to recovery... Stephen Hunt by the sign he collided into.

A 61-YEAR-OLD pedal bike rider ended up unconscious on Marine Drive when he smashed into an unlit ‘road closed’ sign which had been placed across a pitch-black cyclepath.

Stephen Hunt said he could have been killed as he made his way home to Crossens from Smedley Hydro in Birkdale where he works.

He avoided serious injury even though he was flung from his bike onto the carriageway and ended up in hospital with severe concussion.

The experienced cyclist was on the same route home he has been taking

for the last nine years, but claims he had no warning the traffic sign was obstructing the cyclepath and says it shouldn’t have been there at all. The signs are meant to warn motorists of a road closure further up Marine Drive at the Plough roundabout.

Lancs County Cricket Club snubs town... for Cumbria!

Report by Henry James A DECISION by Lancashire Cricket Club not to play a county game in Southport this year, and instead stage it in Cumbria, has angered local officials.

Chairman of Southport and Birkdale Sports Club, Tony Elwood, said they are ‘very disappointed’ that Lancashire will not be playing a four day game in the town this summer.

Mr Elwood was speaking after Lancashire Cricket announced that Sedbergh School in Cumbria will host the club’s County Championship fixture against Durham starting on Sunday, June 30.

He said: “Naturally, we are very disappointed, exceedingly frustrated and more than a little perplexed, but hardly surprised given the length of time discussions with Lancashire had been going on.

“Nevertheless, after a series of highly successful, well attended and well received games over the past four years, it is galling not to get the nod.

Especially when you consider that we have done everything Lancashire have asked of us, including investing heavily in improving our facilities.

“However, we are buoyed by Lancashire’s statement that they’ll be back next year and a year off gives us time to regroup and give our brilliant volunteers some respite - so we’ll be looking to bounce back in 2020 even better than before.

Council tax bills set to rise by 5% Report by Tom Martin

RESIDENTS in Sefton will see their council tax bills rise by 2.99%.

And when increases to the police and fire precept as well as a new tax for a Liverpool City Region Metro Mayor are factored in, the overall rise is 5.11%.

It means, for example, householders in a Band C property in Sefton will pay an extra £40 per year.

The council say the rise is necessary to meet “unprecedented demand on children’s social care, protecting our vulnerable older people, and being able to continue to provide the everyday services residents rely on.”

Sefton Council leader Cllr Ian Maher, said: “It is with a heavy heart that we have to increase our council tax but we’ve been left with no alternative because we just don’t get enough funding from the government to continue to run the services that our communities rely on.

“This is the only way to ensure we manage to provide the vital services everyone expects from us. From caring for children, the elderly and other vulnerable people to emptying the bins, cleaning the streets and maintaining the roads, as well as still

Cllr Ian Maher.

‘It is with a heavy heart that we have to increase our council tax but we’ve been left with no alternative...’ providing leisure, cultural and community activities and supporting the business sectors that are essential to the growth of our economy.

“To put it into context, between 2010 and 2020, Sefton will have lost the equivalent of £746 from each household as the Government continues to reduce the money it gives to councils.

“That is a huge loss and we keep warning about the huge risk to local services.

“This loss also comes at a time when we have seen massive increases in pressures for services.

“Not only due to the unprecedented loss of funding and the ongoing social care crisis, but a surge in demand for children’s services, support for special educational needs and disabilities and the uncertainty over schools funding.”

Due to the increased pressure for social care services, Sefton has still had to identify some new savings to ensure a balanced budget this year.

Cllr Maher added: “We will continue to invest our resources where it will deliver the most impact – in creating jobs, protecting our most vulnerable children, adults and families and in improving the local environment.

“Despite the challenges we face we will work hard with our partners to remain a confident and connected borough.

“We believe that with the right funding, we can continue to lead our areas and improve residents’ lives.”

St Cuthbert’s rated ‘outstanding’ in Ofsted inspection The cordoned off area of Lord Street

Woman critically injured after being hit by bus on Lord Street AN appeal has been launched for witnesses following a traffic accident on Lord Street in which a woman was critically injured after being hit by a bus.

Merseyside Police officers were called out shortly before 5pm to reports that a collision had taken place on Wednesday, February 27.

The pedestrian, a woman in her 40s, was taken to hospital with head injuries.

Officers are currently gathering CCTV but would like any passers-by, whether on foot, or in a car with dashcam footage, to get in touch as a ‘matter of urgency’ as they try to establish the full circumstances of the incident.

Anyone that witnessed the collision or was in the area with information is asked call the Matrix Roads Policing unit on 0151 777 5747 quoting ref: 19100078969.

Man killed on train line A 42-YEAR-OLD man was killed when he was hit by a train between Freshfields and Ainsdale stations shortly after 6am on Friday, February 1 on the Southport-Hunts Cross line.

A spokesperson for British Transport Police said the death is not being treated as suspicious.

Litter louts hit with hefty fines FINES totalling £1,498 have been handed out to four people for dropping litter in Sefton.

South Sefton Magistrates Court made the rulings after the litterers failed to pay fixed penalty notices after being caught dropping their rubbish.

Paul Carter, 48, of Waterloo plead guilty by post and was fined £322.

Craig Keevil, 46, of Southport was found guilty in absence and was fined £392.

Makala Smith, 29, of Eccles, was found guilty in absence and was fined £392.

Emma Wilkinson, 39, of Chorley, was found guilty in absence and was fined £392.

Cllr Paulette Lappin, Sefton Council’s Cabinet Member for Regulation and Compliance, said: “People need to think twice before just throwing their waste away and court cases like these highlight what can happen if you are caught.

“Littering is an unsightly act and we will not hesitate to fine those who do it. Please take it home or use a bin or face the consequences.”

STAFF and pupils at a preschool in Churchtown have been celebrating after being rated ‘Outstanding’ overall in their latest Ofsted inspection.

St Cuthbert’s Pre-school Playgroup at St Cuthbert's School Hall on Botanic Road was inspected last month, and was rated at Outstanding in all four areas: effectiveness of leadership and management; quality of teaching, learning and assessment; personal development, behaviour and welfare; and outcomes for children. They were previously rated ‘Good’ in October 2015.

A spokesperson for the preschool said: “We are very proud after being judged Outstanding at our recent Ofsted

inspection. The pre-school was founded more than 50 years ago and began life as a small church playgroup.

“Over the years it has grown in size and popularity with many people remembering how much they enjoyed their time at St Cuthbert’s and now bringing their own children here.

“The recently refurbished church hall and outside play area have contributed to making the pre-school the success it is today.”

Cyclepath should be safe!

From page 1 Mr Hunt was cycling along the designated cyclepath which adjoins the road at around 6.45pm when he hit the unlit sign just after the RSPB Nature Reserve car park. He was found by an oncoming motorist who had to brake when he saw the civil servant staggering around, confused, in the road.

He managed to contact his partner, who came to collect him and take him to hospital – but more than a week later, he still has no memory of the incident between leaving work and going for a CT scan at Southport Hospital’s Accident and Emergency department just before midnight.

Stephen told the Champion: “I want to warn other cyclists on this designated cyclepath to be aware of these dangerous signs while the Plough roundabout work is going on and the threat they pose to unsus-

But it should have been illuminated when first placed there.

“Thankfully, I was wearing a cycle helmet, which while a little dented took most of the impact.

“Those responsible for leaving the signage in this condition should consider the outcome of their actions which could have been so much worse.

SEFTON is one of the most challenging places to live in the North West, according to a new report just published.

The first “Liveability Index” for 2019, which focuses on our region, reveals the areas where people on average incomes are most likely to struggle to ‘get on’ and challenges existing thinking on where the most urgent need exists for more affordable homes to be built.

But Sefton isn’t alone in being a ‘challenging place’ - neighbouring West Lancashire has been given the same distinction.

The study, which has been developed by Warrington-based housing provider Your Housing Group together with a former HM Treasury economist, offers, it claims, a new measure of ‘liveability.’

Following a successful pilot study conducted last year, the North West Liveability Index is the first release from a new national study being launched later this year, which will map, for the first time, average earners’ ability to live affordably in every local authority in the country.

The analysis ranks every local authority in the North West, providing a comprehensive view of the best and most challenging places for liveability.

West Lancashire was the eighth most challenging place and Sefton the ninth most challenging. Oldham was the most challenging and South Lakeland the easiest place to live.

Group said: “This important new research reveals the hidden problem areas for average earners in towns and cities across the north west.

“Importantly, it also shows where we need to see the development of more genuinely affordable homes.

“The large commercial developers are part of the housing crisis, not its solution: they are simply failing to deliver the homes people need at a price they can afford.

“The attention now needs to focus on alternative providers and I believe housing associations could play a major new role in solving the problem.

“We are now working on ideas to get new funding into this sector, including from responsible investors like pension funds, and will soon be publishing our findings.”

Homelessness can happen to anyone. As the saying goes... ‘You’re only ever a couple of pay packets away from being on the streets’ A REVIEW of Homelessness in Sefton was commissioned by Sefton Council in July 2018.

The review stated that Sefton Council allocates just over £1.4m per year from its own budgets to fund local homelessness projects. While the UK Government continues to reduce the overall amount of money its allocates to local authorities, the portion awarded to Sefton Council for tackling homelessness has increased by 32%.

Sefton Council has established twelve full-time posts to administer and take homelessness applications and oversee temporary accommodation. However, the report states that more posts might be needed following the enactment of the Homelessness Reduction Act 2017 a new law which will require earlier intervention by councils to prevent homelessness.

The report found that more needs to be done to monitor the current and future levels of homelessness including additional accommodation for people who are experiencing homelessness and extra support is required to help people who are, or have been, homeless or threatened with homelessness.

There are considered to be four forms of homelessness. A person might experience only one of these forms, but could encounter some or all of them: • statutory homelessness - persons owed a duty by a local housing authority • single homelessness - persons living in supported housing (including hostels, refuges and also supported lodgings), usually commissioned by a local authority • street homelessness - persons sleeping rough, places not designed for habitation • hidden homelessness - persons accommodated in insecure arrangements often with relatives or friends, but just as often with people not previously known to them.

Alongside a street homeless population, is a significant number of people who are involved in criminal and antisocial behaviour around Southport town centre, much of it connected to drug use and/or dealing, or street drinking, These activities distort the picture of how many people are truly sleeping rough, and distract from efforts to reducing the levels of rough sleeping, says the report.

Due to Sefton Council’s Homelessness Service being based in the far

south of the borough (Bootle), many other people use the advice centre beyond those experiencing street homelessness, but instead are experiencing the other three forms of homelessness.

The advice, says the report, is an invaluable resource for Southport and the whole of Sefton, as it allows for a far greater number of people to have their homelessness prevented or relieved than otherwise would be the case without it.

Sefton Supported Housing Group (SSHG) is a consortium of four organisations that have joined forces to tackle homelessness in the borough.

Bosco Society Ltd, Venus, Excel Housing and New Start have won a five-year contract from Sefton Council to deliver supported housing to homeless people in Sefton.

It operates a sit-up service for people experiencing street homelessness, which is an obligation of the contract held with the local authority. The sit-up service is available at Bosco Society’s property on Merton Road, plus at New Start’s property on Leyland Road in Southport.

The local Salvation Army church offer a daytime drop-in service to people who are experiencing homeless or at risk of doing so. During 2017 nearly 9,000 people took advantage of the assistance offered by the Salvation Army, primarily men aged 25 -55 years.

Current provision for people experiencing street homelessness, says the report, has too much of a reliance on volunteers who are seeking to improve the dignity of people sleeping by offering free food, clothing, bedding and showers.

Future proposed provision for people experiencing street homelessness should include, the report says, a multidisciplinary team of professionals from voluntary organisations who will be best able to make contact and diagnose the support needs of people experiencing street homelessness and to assist them to broker access to mainstream services.

To report an incident of rough sleeping in Sefton, call the Rough Sleeper Outreach Team via Light for Life on 01704 501256 or 07918 746042 outside normal office hours .

A FAMILY of three will tackle a 10 mile walk to raise funds for the homeless.

Parents Sarah and Matt Jackson, and their son, Gray, 10, from Southport, are walking from the town to Ormskirk and hope to raise £300 for the Southport Soup Kitchen, a town centre charity which provides warm food, a place to rest and company for the disadvantaged from their base on London Street.

Matt, 38, is a postman, who is not at all daunted by the challenge but Sarah, 35, a senior copywriter for a marketing company who has chronic fatigue syndrome, is slightly more nervous. They are taking on the challenge on Sunday, April 7, from Vue Cinema at the Ocean Plaza to Edge Hill University in Ormskirk.

Sarah Jackson said: “The idea to do this came from our 10 year old son, Gray, who attends Kew Woods Primary School.

“At the beginning of December, he became very conscious that at a time of year when we're all so focused on receiving gifts and spending money on

luxuries, there are so many people right here in our home town who have nothing. In recent weeks, the weather has been awful and we have seen rough sleepers on the streets of Southport on a number of occasions. He decided that he wanted to help by doing a sponsored walk. But he didn't want it to be easy - he wants to earn his donations.

“We hope the day will see shining sun and blue skies, but if not, the weather won't stop us. As our son pointed out, homeless people have to be outside no matter what the weather is like, so we won't be hiding fromthe rain or wind!

“If you can afford to make even a small donation, we would be incredibly grateful. If not, thank you for taking the time to read this!”

Store’s souper donation MORRISONS staff have made a soup-er donation of £600.

The Morrisons Foundation’s Southport branch were delighted to donate the funds to Southport Soup Kitchen.

The charity, which is entirely run by volunteers, is based on London Street and is open to all from 11am to 2pm on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays.

Carol Hadji, a volunteer at the charity, made an application to the Morrisons Foundation for a muchneeded replacement fridgefreezer.

The donation was presented by Morrisons Community Champion, Anna Ingram to Carol recently at the Southport store.

Anna said: “It’s such a good feeling being able to

support a small local charity like Southport Soup Kitchen, especially at this time of the year when the need for a warm meal and somewhere safe to stay, even for a short time, is so badly needed.”

Carol added: “The support from the Morrisons Foundation is really appreciated and will help us to continue to help the needy in the Southport area. We have found Anna and all the team at the Southport Morrisons store to be very supportive of our charity, and the new fridge-freezer will be a huge help to our work.”

Chance to become a paid on-call firefighter LANCASHIRE fire service is giving members of the public an opportunity to see inside Tarleton Fire Station, put on some fireman’s kit and watch equipment demonstrations, as part of a recruitment drive for retained firefighters from the local area.

Retained firefighters provide a back-up service to fulltime staff and are paid a salary and receive compensation for when they are called out and for training.

The open day at Tarleton Fire Station, Hesketh Lane,

of the week

will take place on Saturday March 9 between 10am and 2pm.

Event organisers say the intention is to hopefully gain some new members by showing how rewarding it can be to represent the community they live and work in. Candidates will be required to complete application and medical forms; take fitness and psychometric tests, and take part in a practical assessment day and interview.

Dog walker saw family stealing daffs from park

by Danielle Thompson A DOG walker was horrified to see members of the public stealing wild daffodils from Hesketh Park.

Joanne Hall was enjoying a trip to the park when she spotted a family with bundles of freshlypicked flowers in their arms, making their way to their car.

A ‘disgusted’ Joanne told the Champion: “The park was full of people enjoying the early sunshine and mild temperature.

“I saw two ladies taking photographs of the spring crocuses, snowdrops and daffodils that were growing on the grassy banks. Dogs were being walked and babies pushed in prams with their parents and grandparents.

“Then as I left the park, my feelgood feeling was deflated as a family passed me with arms full of daffodils that they had picked out of the park!

“I was astounded as they walked past me and loaded their pile of stolen flowers into a large 2017 vehicle completely oblivious to their selfish behaviour!

“It was the epitome of all that is wrong today! These people thought it was okay to allow their children to pick the daffodils from the park and to take

Daffodils - for all to enjoy - at Hesketh Park

‘These people thought it was okay to allow their children to pick the daffodils from the park and to take them home for their own enjoyment’ them home for their own enjoyment. Flowers that had been planted for the enjoyment of everyone!”

Under the 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act, it's illegal in the UK to pick

flowers in public parks or community gardens, or pick flowers from roundabouts etc (which are looked after by the council).

A spokesperson for Sefton Council said: “We echo comments made by the letter writer and we would ask all visitors to any of our wonderful greenspaces to respect their natural beauty.

“This includes not removing flora, so that they may be enjoyed by everyone who visits our parks.”

SEFTON Council is bidding for a slice of a £675m ‘Future High Street Fund’ with bids planned for both Southport and Crosby.

The Future High Street Fund was announced in last November ’s budget and aims to support and fund local areas’ plans to make their high streets and town centres fit for the future.

In this first round, Sefton will include bids for both Crosby village and Southport town centre and builds upon the Council’s ambitions for its town centres encapsulated within its agreed regeneration frameworks and 2030 Vision.

The Future High Street Fund aims to help councils, their communities and the private sector work in partnership to develop and sustain town centres to

by Danielle Thompson enhance their vitality and viability. The fund also includes the opportunity to bid for part of a £55m Heritage High Street Fund.

Cllr Marion Atkinson, Sefton Council's Labour Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Skills, said: “Building on Sefton’s ambitions for its town centres, we are aiming to submit two bids to the Future High Street Fund for both Southport town centre and Crosby Village to help sustain them for the future.

“The bids will also support Sefton’s and the Liverpool City Region’s ambitions for future growth in what are challenging

times for the High Street nationally. For Southport this will build upon Sefton’s success in securing around £10m of Heritage Lottery and Coastal Communities Funding for King’s Gardens, Southport Pier and the recently announced Townscape Heritage Scheme.

“For Crosby this will build on the significant private sector funding by St Modwen into the village centre.”

“If successful and invited to submit a full bid, Sefton Council will continue to work in an inclusive way with its private sector and community sector partners to develop its bids.”

The formal stage 1 bids for both projects will be made in March, 2019 with a formal announcement of the successful bidders in Summer, 2019.

Blood Bikers presented with £20k life-saving motorcycle Report by Henry James A BRAND new £20,000 motorcycle has ben presented to members of North West Blood Bikes - an organisation that helps save lives in Sefton and West Lancs thanks to its twowheeled riders.

The Scarisbrick & District Armada Motorcycle Club presented the fully liveried, BMW R1200 RT-P motorcycle to the blood bikers at a ceremony held on Sunday (March 3) at The Heatons Bridge Inn, in Scarisbrick.

Members of the motorcycle club were in attendance to hand over the bike to North West Blood Bikes chairman Paul Brooks and fleet manager

Simon Hanson. Many members of North West Blood Bikes (Lancs & Lakes) also attended.

The new motorcycle will perform life saving duties for the charity who provide out-ofhours emergency support to the NHS free of charge. All of the members of the charity are volunteers.

Since starting seven years ago the volume of calls the charity cover are now in excess of 1,250 a month and donations like this make the work they do possible. They are completely funded by voluntary contributions such as the new motorcycle.

The Scarisbrick & District Armada Motorcycle Club is a local club made up of motorcycle enthusiasts of all ages.

Most of the current members own a breadth of motorcycles,

Among other things, the club runs the ‘PLOP Enduro’ C90 Race series - an eight-hours

MPs will be given a pay rise of 2.7% - taking their salary to just under £80,000 a year.

Sefton has three MPs – Bill Esterson (Sefton Central) and Peter Dowd (Bootle) both from the Labour Party, and Damien Moore (Southport) who is a Conservative.

It will be even more for MPs who chair select committees.

They will also get a rise of 2.7% on the additional £15,509 they receive for that role - taking it to £15,928.

The increases will be introduced in April.

The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority said it had committed to changing MPs’ pay in line with public-sector earnings.

Workers’ representatives have

hit out at the decision, which will take an MP’s annual salary from £77,379 to £79,468.

But Mark Serwotka, the general secretary of the Public and Commercial Services union, claimed the 2.7% rise is well above the 1.5% received by those serving them in the Commons and the 1% offered to many civil servants.

Mr Serwotka said: “It is an outrage that MPs are rewarding themselves with an above-inflation pay rise while civil servants, who do some of the most vital jobs in society, are still subject to a cruel 1% de facto pay cap.

“PCS are balloting 120,000 members for strike action over pay this summer and today’s news will only anger them further.”

Vets & Pets FULLY QUALIFIED DOG GROOMER ANIMAL WELFARE TRAINED FIRST AID TRAINED FULLY INSURED

Pets are part of our everyday lives and are important members of our families. They provide us with companionship, they can help reduce stress levels, loneliness and can help us to increase our social activities. Pets can add to a child’s self-esteem and positive emotional development. In return, we, as responsible pet owners need to ensure that our animals are kept healthy, fit, get nutritious food, love and affection.

Caring for your pet is a great joy. Below are some different ways to show them how much you care.

Exercising your dog can be a relaxing experience for both of you. It helps them to burn off stored energy and it gives you a chance to connect with your special friend. Whether it is throwing a ball in the park or talking a long stroll on the beach, you will feel a special connection with your dog. Regular exercise is an important part of keeping your pet healthy. Without it, they can become overweight and more susceptible to illness.

Enticing your dog to get active with a walk around the block or a game of fetch is a no-brainer and a fairly common practice. But when it comes to cats, many people don’t realise the value of exercise. Many veterinarians recommend cat workouts to keep cats healthy well into their old age. And though a cat won’t exercise as readily as a dog will, there are strategies that will help you keep your cat active and mobile.

Pair up exercise partners Since a cat won’t respond to your requests to play as easily as a dog might, start with two cats. A pair of cats who get along well will get plenty of exercise through their own wrestling and chasing games.

Try a cat tower The multi-tiered “cat towers” sold both online and in most pet stores are another good way to ensure that your cat will have plenty of places to play and areas to climb for a good workout.

them healthy and happy. Checking online, going to pet specific stores and checking with your veterinarian are just some ways to get information about what foods and treats are recommended.

Take Your Pet for Check-Ups Regular veterinarian visits are not only good for your pet but can be good for your wallet as well. Early detection of illness, like food allergies and urinary tract infections, can help prevent or cure these problems before they become serious, or extremely expensive.

This is a great cat exercise. Get one of the flexible wand-style toys with a feather, mouse, or other diversion on the far end. Interactive play with a wand or fishing-pole-type toy is brilliant exercise, usually quite funny and extremely satisfying for the big hunter in your little cat. You can make it more challenging by running the toy up and over the sofa or up and down stairs to increase the exercise intensity.”

Get Your Pet Groomed Regular grooming is a great way to care for your pet. Clipping your dogs nails will prevent problems with walking and brushing their teeth reduces bad breath. Bathing them can reduce dander and itching and will make your pet more comfortable.

• When it comes to your an animal’s coat, regular brushing helps to keep their hair loss to a minimum and it is a terrific way to give them the attention they crave.

• Most cats take real pride in their appearance, spending almost half their waking hours preening themselves to perfection. Being independent creatures, cats are keen to look after themselves, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t lend a hand in their pampering routine. Grooming your cat plays a big part in caring for your pet and regular maintenance will mean your cat looks great and feels great too!

Plans revealed to recruit more firefighters for Merseyside Report by Tom Martin

for Marc h

MERSEYSIDE Fire and Rescue have described plans to hire more firefighters and buy more fire engines as a ‘breath of fresh air, after years of cuts’.

Proposals by Chief Fire Officer Phil Garrigan were approved at a Fire Authority meeting last Thursday.

They include increasing the number of fire engines from 26 to 30 and recruiting 22 more firefighters bringing the total number up to 642.

They also want to ‘enhance the service’s ability to respond to terrorist threats and environmental changes’.

The moves will be funded by a reinvestment in the frontline of around £1million through the use of current reserves combined with robust debt repayment plans.

Members of the Fire Authority universally supported the proposals.

Cllr Les Byrom, Chair of Merseyside Fire & Rescue Authority, said: “The Chief’s innovative plans make the utmost sense for the Fire & Rescue Service and communities across Merseyside.

“After years of relentless and damaging government cuts these plans present us with an opportunity to move forward with renewed optim-

ism. Chief Fire Officer Phil Garrigan added: “I have made no secret of my vision for our Fire and Rescue Service, particularly my aspiration to ensure it is equipped to meet the demands placed on a modern day fire and rescue service.

“This is a key step towards delivering against that ambition, delivering the very best Fire and Rescue Service in the country with the very best people at its centre. It is very reassuring to know that the authority shares that vision. My proposals represent a defining moment for the service and while they are challenging, they are achievable.

The plans will be subject to consultation, which will cover a 12week period beginning March 14.

LETTERS to the Editor

Internet has become impossible to police I read Alex Holt’s letter ( February 20) reference the World Wide Web but I have to say, I agree with Ian Hewitts views previously on the subject.

The Internet has become such an immense vehicle that it is now practically and financially impossible to police.

Millions of pounds and thousands of man hours are now being spent by our security services and police forces attempting to police the Internet instead of our streets.

Cyber bullying is now prevalent online

sadly resulting in children taking their own lives.

Internet banking fraud; the sale of fake goods online; radicalisation to terrorist organisations; online dating scams; alleged vote rigging in politics; personal data breaches; and the dark web.

Sadly, the list goes on and for all the good points that Alex sees and there are some, there is definitely a price to pay.

‘IB’ Southport, (name, address supplied)

Proposals for housing development in Formby ‘frightening’ The recent letter headed ‘Where will it all end’ was spot on with regard to Brackenway, Formby.

I raised a number of issues with Sefton planning department.

The site is on the periphery of the town and the proposed development from a vehicular stand point is completely isolated. There is no proposal for bus routes as it is deemed adequate.

Access from the estate is to be solely via a traffic light road junction. This at times will have a detrimental effect on traffic flow. It is supposed to be a bypass.

This proposal together with the developments already approved will generate hundreds more cars into an already overcrowded village/town where car parking has become a serious issue, particularly at the park and ride car parks at both stations and for those working in and around the village centre.

Car parking at doctors, dentists and schools are also issues, let alone getting on their registers, School places will be another problem that I fear hasn’t been properly addressed Whilst no doubt the developer will be able to overcome the flooding issues, they will simply include the costs of such work on the unit cost of the dwellings. This will make the so called affordable houses more expensive than they need be.

I believe that some of the planning committee members will attempt to push this application through supported by the planning department, purely on political grounds in that central government says we must build x-number of houses.

The fear is, that it will be approved irrespective of the consequence and affect to those already living here.

To others, who may have similar views, I would suggest that they voice their opinion as the consequences of allowing this proposal or indeed any other that will come along in the future to be approved are frightening to say the least.

Cycling clubs need to heed code Champion letters correspondent, Tony Richardson, writes to say the Highway Code advises cyclists should not ride more than two abreast and that they may need to move into a single file in some situations.

The Code quite clearly states ‘never ride more than two abreast, and ride in single file on narrow or busy roads and when riding round bends’.

This is quite clearly not an advert to ride two abreast as ‘the norm’ as he states in his letter, as bends and busy, narrow roads figure a lot in this area.

He also says that it takes less time to overtake a group of a given number when they are two abreast than when they are in a single file, such as a cycling club, maybe? I guess you are a member of such a

club. Not so, when the group is 20 plus in number, cycling two and sometimes three abreast, on a busy road and usually narrow one as well, is contrary to the Highway Code.

This is the equivalent of overtaking a slow, large vehicle and very often there is traffic coming the other way and therefore is not possible, this leads to frustration and dangerous attempts to pass the group.

Whilst having concern for cyclists and the interaction with other traffic, its about time the cycling groups that take the roads on a Sunday, in particular, got their members to ride to the Highway Code; stop abusing motorists who, in their opinion, are in the wrong by overtaking them; ride with consideration to others abiding by the traffic rule of law such as stopping at traffic lights; signalling their intention to turn; giving way to traffic at major road junctions before turning out in front of them; riding at speed WASPI and other groups down pavements; ride in single fighting this, are standing file - not two or three abreast together at various meeting weaving in and out of traffic places from John O’Groats to streams when in slow traffic; not Lands End every Saturday at coming alongside a vehicle that is 12 noon to protest about ‘The signalling the intention to turn Great State Pension Robbery’. left.

Liz Egerton, Angry motorist, WASPI, Sefton (name, address supplied)

Join our wall of protest, ladies I would like to highlight the unjust way in which women born in the 1950’s are being treated.

The State Pension Age was changed firstly to 65 then 66 and 50’s women were given no notice of the increase thus leaving them no time to plan.

Many women are now living in poverty, some have had to sell their homes in order to survive. The changes have affected 3.8 million women in the UK. I am a WASPI (Women Against State Pension Injustice) fighting the Government for some form of compensation/transitional arrangements.

Walk along the pier was spoiled by shoddy work We have been walking on the Pier for some years now, and wondered what improvements had been made.

On a recent Saturday, my wife and I ventured onto the Pier from the Plaza entrance, heading to the far end, and straight away my wife tripped over a screw that had not been fixed down properly on one of the walk boards.

Another couple of yards on, she fell again - same problem even though we are both active and are not prone to tripping over.

After these mishaps, we started to look at how many of the new screws that had been used were either protruding badly, or had just been bent over, and noticed that some of the boards were loose and not flush.

Bootle Golf Club in decline says Terry Dilks

I have used Bootle golf course for more than 45 years.

In the 70s we had a putting green, and tennis courts at the site. The club house was fully open and golfers could retire for a bite to eat and relax after our game. Now, wary golfers can’t even get a hot drink half way around the course It’s sad to have seen the decline.

We in Bootle once again play second fiddle to Southport, our area again made to feel second class. If it’s not our golf course, it’s our shops (Marion Square).

I’m sure the people of Bootle would like to see some investment in our much-loved golf course extending to our shopping centre, so come on the powers-that-be, give our area a much needed face lift.

Terry Dilks.

Chuka and his friends should allow a people’s vote in their own constituencies I welcome any prospect of breaking the two party political domination and perhaps the formation of a new party.

But surely Chuka and his friends should resign their seats and stand in by-elections and prove they have the support of their constituents with a people's vote, Or does a second vote due to changed circumstances not apply to them?

Southport Pier - shoddy work spoiled walk for couple

This is just shoddy work. Surely this should have been checked and signed off by someone?

Bearing in mind the amount of adults and children who use the

Pier, we hope Sefton Council has good insurance.

Worried pier walker, Southport

Think carefully about the use of language I am fascinated by words and have always been interested in how people use vocabulary as emotional weapons.

Once words are said, they cannot be unsaid.

My children know not to tell me that they are ‘starving’ but that they are ‘hungry’, or ‘freezing’ when they are ‘cold’ and never to use the word ‘hate’ when it comes to describing someone they have just fallen out with.

It is perfectly acceptable to ‘dislike’ somebody or something but if they ‘hate’ homework given to them by their maths teacher, what word do they have in their armoury for monsters such as Hitler or Saddam Hussein?

It is hard to set an example to young people when I have heard Labour MPs berating the decision of the seven MPs to leave the Labour

Bootle plays second fiddle to Southport

Party, one of whom was said to be ‘traumatised’ at the news of colleagues turning their backs on the party.

Trauma is defined as ‘a deeply distressing or disturbing experience’. Is this really how it feels?

Jeremy Corbyn chose the more restrained word ‘regret’ when it came to describe how he was left feeling following the desertion of his colleagues. This feels much more appropriate.

Rebecca Long-Bailey (Shadow Business Secretary) told her interviewer that she was ‘absolutely devastated’ at the news of the closure of the Honda plant in Swindon in 2021.

Has this shocking news that the associates of Honda, their families and the peripheral workforce (approximately 10,000 personnel in

total) will be unemployed in two years really caused Ms Long-Bailey ‘severe and overwhelming shock and grief’.

I wonder what words will be left for those who are personally touched by terrible situations, the consequences of which will change their lives irreversibly.

I ask our MPs, and anyone who is in the position of having their voices and opinions heard, to think carefully about their use of language.

Reactive vocabulary may make commentators feel better, but it risks leaving the public becoming impassive to the sincere emotion expressed by those directly affected.

Alex Mason, Birkdale

Rebel MPs are a breath of fresh air I find it a breath of fresh air to find some politicians saying things I agree with.

But wait ! These are rebel MP’s breaking away from the extremists in the Tories and Labour camps.

Apparently they have all let their parties and voters down by becoming independent and should have a by-election in their constituencies. Such a shame as they speak the truth and full of common sense.

What I find hypocritical is that this is being said whilst our very own MP, Damien Moore, got elected by us in Southport believing he was a true Conservative.

Yet the truth appears that he is part of the ERG, the right wing group favouring a hard ‘no deal’ Brexit, as well as fully supporting Universal Credit and fracking.

I know this from letters written to me by Damien Moore with regard to Universal Credit and fracking.

Can we have a by-election as well?

NEW TYRES from only

South Sefton Magistrates Court

Women-only hearings at South Sefton court WOMEN-ONLY review courts will be held at South Sefton Magistrates Court for the first time in the hope of reducing the number of females who are sent to prison.

The review hearings will provide an ‘allfemale environment’ where cases can be evaluated with the aim of preventing problems from escalating to the point where the women may breach court orders, potentially triggering a prison sentence.

The first was held on Friday, March 1 at the Complex Case Court at South Sefton Magistrates, and will continue to be held monthly to examine the cases of females sentenced to community orders or suspended sentences with requirements, who will be invited to attend hearings where progress reports will be provided by their offender manager.

Attendees will be encouraged to engage with the order and be open about issues which may be affecting them in the hope that, where possible, they can be resolved.

Up until now, the Complex Case Court has provided a system for reviews where both

Report by Tom Martin men and women’s orders were considered, but by providing dedicated women-only courts the aim is to create an atmosphere which encourages better communication and understanding of the issues facing female offenders.

The introduction of the specialist courts follows a visit by the Police Commissioner, Jane Kennedy, and Deputy Police Commissioner, Cllr Emily Spurrell, to similar courts operating in Manchester.

Cllr Spurrell, said: “For more than 40 years, it has been widely agreed – by academics, legislators, reform organisations, charities and political parties – that it is not appropriate that women offenders are dealt with in the same way as their male counterparts; that there needs to be a ‘distinct’ approach to women in the criminal justice system.

“We know that the vast majority of women who come into contact with the criminal

justice system have experienced significant adversities before they do so – whether that may be due to exploitation as a child or as an adult, because of domestic abuse or sexual violence, alcohol or substance misuse.

“We also know that they may face additional complexities in adhering to orders, due to issues including child care, mental health and appropriate housing. As a result, the road into - and out of - offending behaviour can be very different for women compared to men.

“That means our approach to how we treat women in the criminal justice system should be appropriately tailored. I enthusiastically welcome the introduction of these women-only review courts as a way of improving how the cases of female offenders are handled, with the over-arching aim of reducing the number who end up behind bars.

“They are a step in the right direction and, I hope, will form part of a series of reforms aimed at finding effective remedies to the struggles, needs and vulnerabilities of female offenders.”

Bus network review to let residents have their say on services in Sefton Report by Danielle Thompson SEFTON residents will have the chance to give their views on bus services in the area as part of a public consultation which is now underway.

In the first consultation phase of the bus network review which is running until Tuesday, March 26, members of the public will be able to give their thoughts and feedback via an online survey which can be accessed from the review webpage (merseytravel.gov.uk/busreview).

There will also be two drop-in events taking place in Southport and Bootle where residents can speak to representatives from Merseytravel about bus services across the area, how they use them and what might encourage residents to use them more. The Southport event is being held today (Wednesday, March 6) from 10am-3pm on Chapel Street.

Merseytravel, as part of its Bus Strategy, is committed to carrying out regular bus network reviews across the network, with the aim of creating an improved and simpler network.

The first set of reviews took place from 2016 to 2018. Going forward, there will now be a regular cycle of network reviews, ensuring that the bus network delivers the aspirations of the Liverpool City Region.

The idea of these network reviews is to consider the commercial network and the supported network - that which relies on

public subsidy via Merseytravel - as a whole. This will ensure that the network best reflects the needs of the public and adapts to plans for future housing, leisure and employment developments.

As part of the ‘Bus Alliance’ with Arriva and Stagecoach, and with support from other operators, Merseytravel is working through these network reviews with the aim of getting more people using the bus by creating a better bus experience.

Part of the review will look at the current supported bus network and consider how increasingly limited public resources can be focused where there is most need.

To help this, Merseytravel are looking for feedback and information from the public about how they use the bus network in the area, particularly any supported bus service. The first stage of review is to gather feedback on bus ser-

vices in the area, which will help inform any potential changes.

Cllr Liam Robinson, Liverpool City Region Combined Authority Transport portfolio holder, said: “By listening to the feedback gained in those reviews, we were able to work with commercial operators as part of the Bus Alliance to see where existing routes could be adapted to cover any changes. This has not been the case across the country, where some local authorities have taken the tough decision to withdraw all supported services.

“This latest cycle of bus network reviews will help us to continue to adapt the bus network so that it reflects the aspirations of the Liverpool City Region and we would encourage everyone to give their feedback through the appropriate channels to help shape the network in the best way possible.”

CHILDCARE COMPANY CELEBRATES 5 YEARS! A regional childcare and staffing company is celebrating five years since it began this week. First Steps Enterprise, which operates across Sefton and Liverpool, began as a small staffing agency

by Managing Director Ian Merrison and wife and fellow Director Jennifer in March 2014.

give the best quality childcare we can, and various funding streams for 2, 3and 4-year olds are available. We are always happy to let interested parents look round. Also, starting this week, we are having stay and plays in our Pine Tots setting in Formby on Friday afternoons, which is a great way to see the setting and ask us any questions.’

The footprints@pinetots setting is based in St Luke’s Church Hall on Kirklake Road in Formby, and the footprints@netherton pre-school is based in Netherton Family & Well-Being Centre (formerly known as Netherton Children’s Centre) in the heart of the Netherton community. The third setting, Kids Kids After School Club serves the children who attend Kings Meadow Primary School in Ainsdale.

Over the past five years it has grown, and it now operates both childcare across three settings and staffing services. The childcare settings, which are known as ‘footprints@’ are based in Formby, Netherton and Ainsdale. Mr Merrison is proud of how the company has grown.

‘I am really happy with how these last five years have seen us to grow. We are especially pleased we are operating the footprints@ childcare settings.’

The numbers of the preschools are in the Little Acorns feature, but for all three or for staffing enquiries, First Steps can be contacted on 0151 665 0160. Mr Merrison adds ‘We look forward to see what the next five years may bring!’

Two of the settings, the pre-schools in Formby and Netherton, are in the attached Little Acorns feature within this week’s Champion. First Steps Deputy Manager Sarah Mercer explains more about the settings: ‘Children are at the heart of our footprints@ settings. We really look to

TV license holders are being warned about fake emails which attempt to scam money out of unsuspecting victims.

The bogus emails claim people are owed a refund or say billing information is out of date and needs to be updated.

The emails often provide a link through to ‘copycat’ television licensing websites, which ask people to input their personal and financial details.

Bosses at the national TV

Licensing body have seen a rise in calls about this issue throughout the North West and Action Fraud reported it had received around 2,500 reports of these emails.

Matt Thompson, a TVL spokesperson said: “In common with other large organisations like HMRC, TV Licensing suffers from fraudsters sending scam emails to the public posing as genuine TV Licensing communications.

“TV Licensing will never email customers, unprompted, to ask for bank details, personal information or tell you that you may be entitled to a refund. Anyone who has provided their details as a result of a fraudulent email should report it via ActionFraud at www.actionfraud. police.uk or by calling 0300 123 2040. If they have provided bank details, they should call their bank urgently.

Patients asked to give feedback on NHS treatments SEFTON residents are being asked for feedback on planned changes to certain medical treatments.

NHS South Sefton Clinical Commissioning Group and NHS Southport and Formby CCG are working together with Halton, Liverpool, St Helens and Warrington CCGs to review a group of policies for procedures and treatments that are known as Criteria Based Clinical Treatments.

These are routine procedures that are known to have medical benefit only in very specific situations, or for a small number of people.

This is the third phase of the review, which aims to keep NHS care up to date with the latest national clinical guidelines, methods and technology, whilst also making the best use of NHS resources.

The policies that Sefton residents are being asked to provide views on are continuous glucose monitoring systems, cough assist devices, insulin pumps, secondary care administered peripheral joint injections,

surgery for prostatism or lower urinary tract infections and transanal irrigation.

At the same time, the CCGs are letting people know about updates to their policy for Botulinum toxin treatments, bringing it in line with national guidance from NICE, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence and the Pan Mersey Area Prescribing Committee.

Dr Rob Caudwell, local GP and chair of NHS Southport and Formby CCG, said: “It is right that we regularly review the services we commission to ensure that we’re providing the most effective treatments that make the best use of our limited NHS resources.”

It is important that as many people as possible give their views to help shape local NHS policies for the future.

Your guide to selecting Early Education and Child Care providers One of the biggest issues facing our children today is the lack of outdoor play and physical exercise - children nowadays have limited opportunity to get outside and have fun in the real world!

Some of the statistics are frightening.

A report by the National Trust said that the majority of children play outside less than one hour a day. That’s almost a third of the time we spent outdoors 30 years ago when we were children!

This lack of outdoor activity means children concentrate less, become more unruly, are less able to mix and socialise, are less imaginative and then there’s the rise in obesity.

For many, the rise in ‘screen time’ is the biggest concern.

Researchers are now looking at the long term effect of too much television, time spent on mobile devices and playing computer games.

They talk of the ‘re-wiring of the mind’

Farnborough Road Infant School Nursery

and danger to young brains. Rather than using their senses to build dens, interact, build social skills and work in teams, while exploring and learning, children are becoming sponges to a one-way traffic of entertainment.

So how can we do our best to foster an attitude of discovery, creativity and good, old fashioned outdoor play from an early age?

Anyone who has taken their child camping will appreciate that things haven’t changed that much.

Children love playing outdoors, but we need to make sure it happens. One increasingly popular idea is Forest School.

In Scandinavia the motto is simple: There’s no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothes.

Although it may be colder than it is in our country, the Scandinavians have never let that get in the way.

They cycle in the snow, they play

outside in the rain, they camp in the cold, they build campfires no matter what the season.

The idea of Forest School began in the 1950s in Sweden, but it is now thankfully being appreciated in the UK. It focuses on the natural world, exploring and observing our environment, working in teams to move logs, make dens and take managed risks.

Rather than mollycoddling, this is about taking responsibility, building confidence, investigating our limits, appreciating life and enjoying the outdoors.

Armed with wellies, waterproofs and snacks, children can spend two or three hours in the woods, they hang hammocks, they create imaginary worlds, they cook s’mores, they do treasure hunts, they read books and make up stories in circles.

And they always, always love it.

What type of services are available?

After school and breakfast clubs These can be provided by schools or private nurseries and provide care for your child before or after school, or both.

Learning is structured and children are always provided with healthy snacks or meals.

Playgroups

Holiday Play schemes Children have a lot more time off school than parents have off work and so for those times holiday play schemes can come in very handy.

They offer childcare only in school holidays and can help the child develop and learn while making sure they are safe and well cared for.

Playgroups offer care for your child several times a week usually, for a morning or an afternoon, and work in conjunction with the Early Years Foundation Stage.

They can help your child to interact and start learning at an age where they are too young to go to school.

Childcare in our Community Pre-School Setting OPEN EVERY WEEKDAY, TERM TIME 8.45am to 3.30pm SESSIONAL AND WRAP AROUND CARE PROVIDED FUNDED PLACES AVAILABLE FOR 2,3 & 4 YEAR OLDS! TO SECURE YOUR PLACE CONTACT 07852 647962 or e-mail footprintsnetherton@ firststepsenterprise.co.uk

Private day nurseries These are open from Monday to Friday and can look after your child between the hours of 7.30am – 6.00pm.

They are available for children aged 3 months to five years of age and although they are private, there are several Government schemes to help you meet the cost if you feel you are struggling. All are means tested and funding could be one call away.

These nurseries are OFSTED inspected and follow the Government’s Early Years Foundation Stage structure of learning.

BeneďŹ ts for your child â&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;˘

â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘

High quality childcare and early education give your child a head start in primary school, as research shows that it improves their educational, emotional and social development.

Children with experience of high quality childcare and early education do better in Key Stage 1 and Mathematics at age 7.

Children who attend a good quality setting are more likely to be more independent, better able to concentrate and more sociable at the start of primary school. The beneďŹ ts of part-time attendance are those of full-time attendance.

Here at Trinity St Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s we are very proud of the way we do things!

Which childcare is best for you?

With so many parents both working full time these days the issue of childcare is a major one.

â&#x20AC;˘ Ask other parents for their suggestions and recommendations. â&#x20AC;˘ Check opening times, holiday dates and, most importantly, costs.

There are several options available but choosing the right one for your family can sometimes be a difďŹ cult task. Before you make a decision â&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;˘ Give yourself plenty of time to choose. Holiday play schemes and other seasonal childcare service can booked up well in advance. â&#x20AC;˘ Make appointments to visit two or three providers to compare whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on offer. This will allow you to look at the services available and chat to the staff. â&#x20AC;˘ Always consider your child in your decision, even if they are far too young to make a choice themselves.

Liverpool Theatre School students during a recent performance

Transform your garden

Free workshops in acting and musical theatre to be offered to young students Report by Henry James STUDENTS at secondary schools and sixth form colleges in Sefton can benefit from free workshops in both acting and musical theatre, as part of an outreach initiative by Liverpool Theatre School.

The Aigburth Stage School will deliver the sessions to young students across Merseyside to help support and encourage talented performers.

During the workshops, pupils will have an opportunity to learn some of the basic principles of acting or performing in musical theatre. Pupils can also find out more about working in the industry and pick up some useful tips from the experts.

Maxine Ellis, principal at Liverpool Theatre School, said: “Our outreach programme is designed to give secondary school pupils and college students an insight into the performing arts industry as an attainable career choice, regardless of their financial circumstances.

“Widening access to professional training is very

much part of the ethos at Liverpool Theatre School, which is why we offer a number of funded places including scholarships with The Stage and the Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation. During the fun and interactive workshops, our team will be on hand to offer practical advice on everything from preparing for auditions to accessing financial support.”

Liverpool Theatre School, which recently became the first stage school in the country to axe its audition fees, is the only training organisation in Merseyside to offer the highly regarded Trinity College London Diploma in both Professional Musical Theatre and Professional Acting.

Liverpool Theatre School alumni include performers who are starring in hit shows from the West End to Las Vegas including Carina Gillespie (appearing in Wicked in the West End) and Tommy Sherlock (starring in Tenors of Rock in Las Vegas).

The free workshops in professional acting and musical theatre are available to all secondary schools and colleges. Contact info@liverpooltheatreschool.co.uk or call 0151 728 7800 for further information.

ADVERTISING FEATURE

for Vegan Vegetarian VERY Tasty!

Vegetarianism and Veganism have boomed in popularity over the last few years with the Vegan diet becoming the biggest food trend of 2018 increasing the demand for meat-free food by almost 1000% from 2017.

Many people site animal welfare as the main reason for changing their diet.

For some it’s also health or environmental grounds. Whatever the individual’s reason, these diets can be an exciting part of your life, full of fantastic flavours and very nutritious.

Gone are the myths that vegetarians and vegans are missing out on essential proteins. Our population is increasingly moving towards educating themselves on how to live with these diets in an exciting and healthy way.

It can be good for your pocket too because as the cost of meat continues to rise, many plant proteins such as beans, lentils and legumes are comparatively cheap, therefore helping you cut down on the cost of your weekly shop.

And it doesn’t stop there. Vegetarians and Vegans are also experiencing a change when eating out, as many local eating establishments and national restaurant and pub chains have now embraced the demand, offering us more far more choice on their menus. We are also seeing more and more restaurants on our high streets who cater solely for vegans and vegetarians, with advice on hand for anyone who is considering evolving their diet to meat free, or meat and dairy free, giving you the confidence to take the plunge.

We’ve rounded up some of the best local places to enjoy a vegetarian/vegan meal or stock up on some vegan supplies.

A SENIOR care assistant has been recognised by a charity for her ‘unfaltering dedication’ to her role for more than three decades.

Sandra Fayer, 49, who works at MHA Connell Court Care Home on Weld Road in Southport, has received the MHA 30 Years of Service Award.

Anna Harvey, home manager at Connell Court, said: “Having started out at the care home as a work experience student at the age of 19, Sandra soon realised the positive effect she could make on the lives of residents and continued to work her way up in the years to follow. From a domestic assistant role where her responsibilities revolved around upkeep of the home, to a senior care assistant who works nights, Sandra has become an integral cog in the care team.

“Travelling in on Bank Holidays and for noncompulsory meetings, her enthusiasm for the role has never gone unnoticed.

“Sandra is a fantastic senior care assistant who is an invaluable team member. Loved by staff and residents alike, I regularly find her volunteering in her own time to cover extra shift hours - nothing is ever too much to ask.

“She prioritises the happiness and well-being of our residents in everything she does and has touched the lives of many throughout her thirty years here. Both, on her own and as part of our wonderful team, Sandra consistently works to a high standard and we feel blessed to have had her with us for such a long time. From everyone here at Connell Court – thank you Sandra for everything you do!”

The winner in the seven-to-12 category was Mawdesley band, Social Nightmare, who “brought the house down” with their cover of The Pretender by the Foo Fighters and followed it with one of their own compositions.

While winner of the older category was 14-year-old solo pianist Olivia Diaferi

Who Cares? We Care!

A

There comes a point in our lives, generally as we get older, when most of us will come to rely on a care service program, whether for ourselves or a relative.

From home services, therapy services, to residing in a care home, fortunately we are lucky to live in communities that offer so many different options in levels of care. However, with such a vast array of choices available, it can often prove daunting and confusing when selecting which is going to be the right option for you or a close relative.

The one common goal for both the patient and the professionals is to ensure that people remain as independent as they can for as long as possible. Over the next few pages the Champion offers you a choice, as well as advice of what services are out there, and what you can expect from them.

Where care is concerned, one size can never fit all!

Staying at Who Cares? We Care!

Home & Home Care Most of us want to live independent lives, in our own homes for as long as possible. Yet when we begin to struggle with daily chores or getting from A to B, life can become very difficult. The good news is that even if you are recovering from an illness, or a fall, or you need help with your long-term care, there are many support services available.

By making a few changes and by learning to rely on the right services, staying at home longer can be a reality.

Home care (also known as domiciliary care) describes care services that enable people to live in their own homes, and are usually provided by care workers or nurses. Home care can be tailored and adapted over time to match the ever changing needs of the individual. From shopping, to cooking and cleaning, or simply planned visits to relieve someone from the acute sense of loneliness, home

Rating: GOOD DOMICILIARY SERVICES Bathing and showering Help getting up and going to bed Dressing Preparing and cooking meals Feeding Assistance with medication Oral care Shaving Toileting Continence care Making and changing beds

care services can focus on just one or multiple needs, as and when they arise and it is an effective way of enabling people to remain independent in their own homes.

AllCare offers a flexible service, ranging from half-hour visits to 24 hours live in care, providing support for people who wish to remain in their own homes.

Prepare shopping lists Shopping Laundry Ironing Vacuuming Dusting General Cleaning Washing dishes Our services begin with a free assessment and consultation, so that together we can agree to a care plan that suits your needs.

Our domiciliary service operates between 7am and 11pm seven days a week, with office hours between 7am and 11pm Monday to Sunday. In the event of an emergency we operate an out-of-hours service. All of our staff undergo a robust vetting, selection and training programme.

ENABLEMENT SERVICES Allcare can provide support following a stay in hospital, helping you with personal care or domestic tasks while you convalesce at home.

AllCare’s carers can also provide Companionship - someone to talk to and help ease the long hours of convalescence Escorting - someone to accompany you to GP or hospital appointment, for example Our service is tailored to your specific requirements which we can discuss with you at home prior to your treatment or before you are discharged from hospital

RESPITE SERVICES We find the commitment of caring for a relative or friend has a greater value if shared from time to time.

Allcare offers a respite service, giving you the break you need to look after yourself for a while

We can provide personal care and domestic help including overnight sittings

Adapting your Home and Mobilit y

Who Cares? We Care!

Sometimes with age or illness, mobility can become a major concern and it may become harder to move around your home. However, there are an ever increasing number of useful adaptations that can be made to transform someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life within their own home. Getting up and down the stairs, getting out of bed and taking a bath or a shower need not pose the problems they sometimes do thanks to an array of solutions available. It is possible to adapt your home so that it better suits your needs. If you are a wheelchair user then doorways can be widened and access to your property can be made easier with ramps, hand rails, better outdoor lighting and intercom systems for answering the door. You can have a second bannister fitted to help you with the stairs, or even have a stair lift or wheelchair lift installed. Bathrooms can be adapted in many ways with hoists or bath lifts to assist you in getting in and out of the bath, adapted showers and even wet rooms installed. And these changes need not be out of reach as financial help can be available.

Care Homes & Assisted Living

Who Cares? We Care!

When living at home is simply no longer possible, care homes offer the very best solution. Sometimes the decision about care is clear cut. When an elderly parent suffers a fall or illness, resulting in a period of time spent in hospital, it then becomes apparent that returning to their own home is no longer an option.

This however is not always the case and for those living independently in their own home, changes to their health and well-being can be much more gradual meaning it can be incredibly difficult and stressful deciding when to consider a move into a care home.

Many offer the opportunity to try them out over a short stay which can be a great way of experiencing life in a care home, particularly for someone who is initially reluctant. Care homes today are places of haven for patients, where teams of dedicated carers work tirelessly and care deeply about their residents.

If the individual is still reluctant to move into a care home, maybe assisted

living is an option to be considered.

Assisted living is a type of residential care that allows for independent living in a specialist complex. Facilities differ but usually nurses and care staff are provided on-site. These facilities are usually more appropriate for those with low level care needs.

Loneliness Sometimes, independence can seem very lonely. According to Age UK, more than 2 million people in England over the age of 75 live alone, and more than a million older people say they go for over a month without speaking to a friend, neighbour or family member.

Whilst living alone, without a support network of friends and family living close by, the home can sometimes seem like a prison. People can become socially isolated and it is easy to be left feeling alone and vulnerable. This can have an extremely negative affect on people’s physical health and wellbeing. Day centres can play a vital role here, offering the opportunity for new friendships, recreational activities and outings, helping to kick start a new social outlook.

Final Arrangements Making a Will Writing a will is one of the most important things you will ever do. After all, we spend the majority of our lives working to provide for ourselves and our loved ones. You may have property, shares, savings or investments as well as your personal possessions. All of these form your ‘estate’ and making a will ensures that when you die, this is shared according to your wishes.

So what will a solicitor need to know?

Firstly you will need to make a list of all your assets that are to be included in the will. This should include property as well as vehicles you own, any savings or

investments. You must then decide who will get what after you die. This is also the opportunity to add any particular wishes you have for your funeral.

When you lose someone, however prepared you may think you are, the reality is that you feel helpless and generally unable to think straight for a while. A funeral director will help and it pays to choose a firm as soon as possible. Furthermore with so many prepaid funeral plans available, the earlier you decide on what you want, the easier it will be on your relatives.

You must then decide who will carry out your wishes after your death. The individual or people you appoint to be executors of your will, should ideally be familiar with financial matters. They could be friends or family members, or a professional such as your solicitor. Using a solicitor will incur fees but they will be familiar with the law and will therefore be able to provide sound advice and draw up your will as it should be.

Because a funeral director’s responsibility is to ensure that a funeral meets the wishes of the family, he or she will ensure that the funeral is appropriate, dignified and carried out in a professional manner. He will also ensure that each element of the funeral complies with the law. At a time of loss, the funeral director will also be on hand to help with the many practicalities that a funeral demands.

Funeral Director Private Chapels of Rest

For example, a funeral director may assist in moving the person who has died to their premises or your home, provide facilities to view the person who has died, order floral tributes, help you arrange a time and date for the funeral, ensure paperwork is in place, offer caskets to your budget, arrange music at the funeral itself, provide appropriate cars and staff on the day. In short a good funeral director will ensure the funeral is handled with total dignity and make it an occasion to match the person who died last wishes and his or her relatives.

When we used to get winters we’d stay calm and carry on I’M tapping this out on the first day after the false spring that sprung last week has ended - we’re back to cold and damp again.

I enjoyed those few days of warm, sunny weather so I shouldn’t complain.

It was, after all, still winter and to be truthful, round here at least, we haven’t seen too many of those sort of days.

Mind you, it’s a few years now since we had what I used to call winter.

That started when the Leeds and Liverpool canal froze over, as it used to do every year.

And although I’m no fan of climate change for all kinds of reasons, I certainly can do without the bone-chilling winters we used to suffer.

A sign of getting old perhaps?

Or maybe, simply being sensible.

After all, no-one surely actually enjoys being cold?

When I was working in Colchester a few years ago, I remember one winter when I actually slept in my office simply because I had an early start in the morning and the snow was so thick that I didn't fancy the long walk back early in the day.

But in the morning I tottered off to the railway station and caught a (nice warm) train to London and from there to Bletchley Park of WW2 code deciphering fame.

At that time the site was owned (or rented) by British Telecom as a training establishment with new apartments for visiting students - and me.

The Hall itself (you must have seen it on TV) was turned over to admin, plus a dining room, bar and a snooker room.

I've wondered when BT offloaded this wonderful place with its historic connections - and who runs it now.

Still, back to climate change.

Because its not only the climate that is changing it’s our reaction to it as well.

In this month's issue of my ‘Buses’ magazine (yes I am that sad) there is a photo of a bus and several private motors apparently stuck in the snow somewhere.

Expected And on telly there have been pictures of schools closed because teachers (and I suppose pupils) couldn't reach them because of the snow.

Yet in all of these images, I saw nothing to compare with what in the fairly recent past we considered winter and certainly from the scenes on TV and this apparently 'stuck' bus and cars in my magazine, I quite honestly find it hard to believe that, again, we ordinary mortals used to be able to take in our stride.

And no, I am not talking about my now far off childhood (though I cannot remember a single winter day when schools around here shut).

I’m going back to the 1980s at the earliest.

We managed. It was expected that you got yourself into work (or school).

And car drivers, without many of the most modern driving aids available today, struggled through amounts of snow that today seem totally to wreck our transport systems both public and private.

When you see images of stranded vehicles (and there were plenty of those too) they were stuck in snow drifts - not just a snow covered road.

I suppose I might be pilloried for suggesting putting folk in danger - but that is not what I am talking about.

But horses for courses - whereas you’d be daft to attempt to drive over, for instance, a snow-laden Snake Pass, equally it is absurd, I think, to say you cannot drive on a perfectly ordinary road which just happens to have a covering of snow on it.

Not only in my youth, but well into more mature years, you were expected to struggle with winter conditions, not give up as the first snowflakes fell.

Frantastic! says Ofsted STAFF and youngsters from the Frantastic PreSchool based at The Lodge on Mornington Road have been celebrating after getting ‘Outstanding’ in a recent Ofsted report.

Inspector Lynne Naylor wrote in the report: “The highly qualified staff team work together exceptionally well to plan and provide highly stimulating activities for children. Children make outstanding progress.

“Parents hold the pre-school in the highest regard. They are resounding in their praise of the provider, staff and high-quality care and teaching.

They talk very positively about the way the provider enhances their lives, supporting them emotionally as well as their child.

“The highly qualified management team has a

strong commitment to continuous improvement.”

Fran Taylor, owner of the pre-school added: “Our staff are all highly qualified, with the senior management team all holding degree level qualifications and more, from BA Hons in Leadership and Management in Children’s Services to Early Years Teacher Status, transitioning through to BA Hons in Primary QTS. “The Pre-School Practitioners also hold degree level qualifications, and this shows with the outstanding and exceptional progress made by all the children.

“The quality of teaching, learning and assessment together with the outcomes for children reflects the staff’s commitment and knowledge.”

As the family business grew his wife Vera, daughter Amanda and son-in-law Billy all became important members of the team. P&A continued to expand and gain an excellent reputation, resulting in moving twice to larger premises but always remaining on Liverpool Road, Crosby.

In 1999, Dennis bought the already established Southport HiFi from his friends Roy & Pat Beckett, which had also coincidentally began in 1972. And in 2001, Dennis’s son Phil, joined the business after working as Sales Manager for a leading hifi brand for nearly 10 years. His experience in dealing with audio visual stores all over the UK became a very useful asset. Dennis has now taken a back seat and Phil runs the business along with a team of experienced staff, all of whom have worked for P&A for between 20 and 35 years.

The business continues to flourish in today’s modern world of streaming music wirelessly and multi-room audio visual installation, which all seems a far cry from how it all began.

Staying in the home that you

T

he decision to buy a stairlift is often taken at a time of stress, often after a person has suffered a fall or received the news of a debilitating illness. In reality though, stairlifts should be embraced as a modern accessory to prevent falls and preserve the dignity of our loved ones, allowing them to stay and make use of their entire home and not be confined to living downstairs.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a few pointers for you to consider when buying a stair lift: Shop Around Most mobility retailers (and charities) will simply pass on your stairlift enquiry to another company and in return they will receive hundreds of pounds in commission. This commission is naturally built into the final price that you pay.

Mike had significant experience in the retail sector, being one of the founder members of Focus DIY after learning his trade alongside David Quayle of what was then Block and Quayle, now B&Q. The strategy for the new Ableworld business was very clear in Mikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind since it had to provide competitively priced living aids alongside open and honest advice for people to help them continue an independent quality of life. Mike was also keen from the very start that his new business should provide high levels of after sales service and so also established his own in-house engineering department who would install all stairlifts and provide ongoing 24/7 support with direct access to local trained engineers.

Ableworld opened its first store in Nantwich and there are now 34 stores in total across the UK with expansion plans well advanced to open further stores. In the North West, customers

and local Health Professionals now have direct access to an in-house Occupational Therapist to help support the search for bespoke solutions.

Ableworld have also just opened a new dedicated engineering department in the North West to provide the necessary infrastructure to service their increasing customer base in preparation for their new shops.

The company has maintained itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal services despite its size by employing local staff and ensuring they all pass a rigorous training program. The scale of the operation now means that customers benefit from very competitive prices due to the purchasing power of the Ableworld Group and Ableworld are now well and truly at the forefront of the sector as the UKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading mobility retailer plus, their extensive inhouse engineering department is now the UKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest independent installer of stairlifts.

Aftersales Service & Costs

You need to ensure that you have total piece of mind with a good warranty from trained engineers.

Check that there are no high servicing costs linked back to the warranty and who do you phone if something goes wrong ? â&#x20AC;Ś. are they local ?

A helping hand at home

Beware High Pressure Sales Many firms employ high pressure sales teams who are paid commission. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t invite them into your home unless you have somebody with you who can take notes and help you to encourage them to leave when you have heard enough! Better still, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t invite a sales person to your home until you have had chance to examine their brochures. Also, keep your home telephone number private so they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pester you.

Try before you buy You wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy any other household item of equipment without testing it first. This is particularly important when it comes to the seat on the stairlift since, just like people, seats come in many shapes and sizes and you need to feel safe on your stairlift.

Future Proof By this, I mean plan ahead and think about what level of mobility you will have in another 5/10 years.

For example, if you suffer from arthritis of the hand/ wrist, you may struggle to turn the stairlift at the top of the stairs, so you may need to consider a motorised chair instead. Buy the stairlift now which is going to help you for the next ten years and not just the cheapest.

London Street Practice in 1984

Following the success of the Churchtown Practice, shortly after in 1984 the London Street Practice was opened.As the business was growing from strength to strength, a larger premesis was needed but they wanted to remain in the heart of Southport.

So in 1991 a new Practice was opened at 19-21 London Street, where their existing shop is today and what is now the heart and hub of David H Myers Opticians.

Quite quickly, David realised that he wanted to offer a first class service to as many people as he could so he branched out across the North West and North Yorkshire. His subsequent practices opened in Lytham in 1992, Leeds in 1997 followed by Penwortham in 2002. Giving him the opportunity to ensure the North West has access to excellent eye care, wherever they may live.

David introduced his son Ben into the business in 2009 where he spent the first 5 years training in the Leeds Practice before moving to the London Street Practice in 2014, where he remains today.

They have a team of long standing members, many who have been working for DAvid H Myers since leaving school. Every practice has a strong family ethos, offering a personal service, friendly caring staff and same first class after care service.

In early 2019 the London Street Practice of David H Myers opened following an extensive refurbishment. Take a trip down today to see how they can look after you!

Show was a ‘great treat’ for Neil Diamond fans Win tickets to see Fame

Hello Again –The Story Of Neil Diamond Southport Theatre

I HAVE been to tribute shows where the group onstage paid little attention to costume or background information on the artiste they were interpreting or stage effects and for all the world could have been performing in a back street pub writes Ron Ellis.

Not this one.

This was a pop music show that was the epitome of

MD

professionalism, and included a huge screen onstage showing changing scenes relevant to the songs being sung.

Brooklyn Creed, looking like a young version of Neil Diamond and sounding uncannily like him, introduced the other ten members of the band and told the story of the singer’s life along the way.

The Brooklyn Horns comprised two trumpets and a trombone. There was a drummer and a percussionist, guitar, bass, keyboards, two attractive girl backing sing-

ers with Brooklyn himself playing acoustic guitar.

Two one hour spots provided ample time to feature tracks from The Jazz Singer; an early forage into what became world music; a couple of religious numbers; plus songs he wrote for other artistes while working as a songwriter in the legendary Brill Building in the Sixties.

Saving the best for the last, came the classic Neil Diamond hits, Song Sung Blue, Forever in Blue Jeans, Cracklin’ Rosie and Sweet Caroline.

7 out of 10. A great treat for Neil Diamond fans.

Historic moment!

I WAS a bit disappointed that yesterday didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t far-fetched anymore. In the meantime, it means begin with the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight that the I-Pace is not only a proper Jag that just hapthundering through the skies overhead, writes pens to be zero-emissions too, but it means that a bunch of motoring writers far better than this one David Simister.

Church bells across the country wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve rung agree that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s award-winningly good too.

Makes up for the Peugeot 307 winning, and all out in unison, followed by politicians of all parties breaking off from the Brexit negotiations to offer thatâ&#x20AC;Ś congratulatory speeches, and schoolchildren David Simister is the editor of Classic Car Weekly wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been invited to send in their drawings and paintings marking the big moment.

Home match offers chance to leapfrog the Pilgrims SOUTHPORT may have a chance to leapfrog Boston United on Saturday when they host the Pilgrims at the Merseyrail Community Stadium.

Both teams faced difficult matches last night (Tuesday, March 5) when Port visited third placed Spennymoor

Town, and Boston hosted second placed Stockport County.

Prior to Tuesday, Boston were two points ahead of Southport in the National League North table occupying tenth place, and six points off the final play-offs qualifying position.

Jack Sampson taps in for Southport’s goal. Pictures by Julia Urwin.

Sampson’s 20th goal of season seals win for Port at Guiseley Report by Jonathon O’Byrne Guiseley 0 Southport 1

Paddy Lacey (number 6) scores Southport’s opener after half an hour.

Picture by Julia Urwin.

Lacey brace secures a place in county cup final Southport 3 Ashton Athletic 1 JORDAN Archer’s late header and Paddy Lacey’s brace was enough to send Southport into the Partners Foundation Lancashire Challenge Trophy Final.

Marcus Cusani’s brilliant

long-range effort brought the North West Counties side level early into the second half.

But an inspired performance from the January signing sealed a date with Colne FC, on April 29 at the University of Bolton Stadium.

SOUTHPORT returned to winning ways with a victory at Nethermoor, their first at Guiseley.

It was also their first double over a team this season, both were tight games, and both ended 1-0 courtesy of a Jack Sampson second half strike from close range.

Port were glad to recall Bradley Bauress a player who the manager has stated his unassuming influence on many occasions.

Bauress returned from a spell out with an ankle injury to replace Devarn Green - the only change to last week’s line up.

The first half was very uneventful as both sides attempted to use a methodical style of football and maximise use of set plays as their principle weapon of attack.

Dion Charles delivered a glorious cross which Jack Sampson failed to find the target from close range.

At the other end a deflected effort saw Dan Hanford scramble across his goal to tip an effort wide at full stretch.

The goal came almost immediately after the restart, Jason Gilchrist’s ball from the left finding Sampson in space to fire home his 20th goal of the season.

With a lead and with the wind

Brad Bauress was back in action after a spell out with injury.

behind them, the Sandgrounders were able to control Guiseley and restrict them to lots of possession and set plays, such as booming long throw-ins on a narrow pitch but limited attempts on their goal.

Southport’s physically commanding back line dealt with the giant strike force of Odejayi and Libburd to record a third clean sheet in as many weeks and a ninth of the season.
