Beth, 22 shoots to Fame!

A TALENTED student will perform alongside the cast of the 80s TV series ‘Fame’ to raise funds for a children's charity.

Beth Rushby, 22, from Southport will join her LMA classmates and eight of the hit show’s actors and actresses for two special charity concerts of The Fame UK Reunion at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool next month.

Liverpool Media Academy is a specialist university centre for creative media and the performing arts. Beth, who is studying for a BA degree in musical theatre, was one of 15 students, former students and mentors from LMA who were chosen following a series of auditions.

The group will act as backing dancers and backing vocalists when original cast members Erica Gimpel (Coco), Valerie Landsburg (Doris), Lee Curreri (Bruno), Carlo Imperato (Danny), P R Paul (Montgomery), Cynthia Gibb (Holly), Nia Peeples (Nicole) and Jesse Borrego (Jesse) take to the stage in the UK together for the first time in 35 years.

CELEBRATING

INSIDE THIS WEEK...

Das Boot crew sails into resort!

Report by Danielle Thompson HOPES that former live-music venue, the Fox and Goose, might reopen in the future appear to have been dashed after the developer who bought the pub revealed he wants to turn it into ‘affordable housing’.

John Jennings, 72, who moved to Southport three years ago from Nottingham, is the new owner of the two-storey Cable Street venue and the three-bedroomed house adjacent to it.

This week he told the Champion he plans to turn them both into a new development comprising nine flats and two studio apartments. His company, Trent Homes Limited, are in the process of preparing to submit a planning application to Sefton Council.

He said: “I like to buy and do up properties and this one seemed a great chance to provide affordable housing, for under £100,000, in the town centre. There are already a lot of bars nearby, with O’Learys Irish Bar and the Ship and Anchor both on Cable Street itself.

“I love Southport’s rich history. We are already working on the plans and I am excited. I am hoping to enhance the area further and to create something special, contributing to the future of Southport.”

Report by Tom Martin TV and film productions could be stepped up in Sefton after a £2m fund was set up to attract more camera crews to the Liverpool City Region.

It is hoped that the ‘LCR Production Fund’ will result in more filming taking place across the area including here in Sefton.

The fund will enable local, national and international production companies to bid for a maximum investment of £500k per proposal - giving a vital financial injection to film companies.

Mayor of Liverpool, Joe Anderson said: “This innovative project sees Liverpool once again pushing boundaries and working in a collaborative way which will see a real impact in terms of jobs created and skills being developed.

“Liverpool is one of the most filmed locations outside of London, with producers and directors repeatedly drawn here to use our world-class locations as a backdrop for their work.”

The fund is aimed at small and large projects ranging from fea-

ture films and TV dramas, right through to scripted comedies and animations. There is an emphasis on working with experienced producers with a substantial production budget.

It has been provided by the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority through its Strategic Investment Fund, which aims to promote economic growth, create high-quality jobs and deliver ‘positive social impacts’.

In order to meet the criteria for the funding, the projects must use the LCR as a location, for all or part of the project; there must be a focus on employing local people; and they are encouraged

to use local businesses, such as hotels, where the cast and crew will stay during filming.

Steve Rotheram, Metro Mayor, added: “Liverpool City Region has long been one of the UK’s creative hubs so it is absolutely right that as a Combined Authority we have created this £2m Film Fund.

“By attracting even more productions to film here in our city region we can help to develop the kind of creative ecosystem that delivers highly-skilled jobs for local people, and opportunities for local businesses to grow.” l Coastal Road to be closed for filming ‘Das Boot’ - page 3

Stretch of Coastal Road to close for Das Boot!

A STRETCH of the Coastal Road in Southport will be taken over by the production team of Sky Atlantic’s popular TV drama Das Boot.

Filming of the German television series in the town will mean a stretch of the Coastal Road will have to be closed to vehicles.

The closure will be between the Shore Road roundabout in Ainsdale and Weld Road roundabout in Birkdale from 10ammidnight on Monday (April 8).

Filming of the second series of Das Boot is currently taking place across the Liverpool City Region.

Sefton Council works closely with the Liverpool Film Office to help promote ‘film friendly Sefton’ and all the

opportunities the borough has for film and production companies.

Das Boot is produced for Sky, and like the hit 1981 film of the same name, the series is based on Lothar-Gün-

ther Buchheim's 1973 book, but with additions from Buchheim's 1995 sequel Die Festung.

The WWII drama centres on an inexperienced U-boat crew

who have to survive a secret mission and a young German woman torn between loyalty for her home country and the French resistance.

A spokesman for Sefton Council said: “We work really hard to help facilitate filming requests right across the borough.

“Often film crews may base themselves in the borough and employ local actors or support staff, which contributes to the local economy.

“We hope this temporary closure for just one day will cause minimum disruption on the Coastal Road and look forward to seeing Sefton and the wider Liverpool City Region positively portrayed in the next series of Das Boot.”

Empty shops and ‘run-down’ look put me off opening in Southport So businessman Chris turned to neighbouring Ormskirk instead!

A FASHION designer says he chose Ormskirk over Southport for his new business as ‘Southport appeared to have more empty shops and looked run down’.

Chris Appleton launched his clothes-altering shop, Chapple, in Church Walks, having previously worked for a company in Wigan. He is aiming to ‘do

Village honours men behind peace garden and Hesketh Out Marsh project TWO MEN behind a peace garden in Hesketh Bank have been honoured for their contribution to village life.

The ‘Love Hesketh Bank’ award is presented by the parish council who were impressed by the work of the pair, Geoff Warminger and David Baines.

The peace garden has been created on a spare plot of land at the entrance to allotments on Shore Road in the village.

Allotment committee members thought it would be a worthy spot for a memorial in honour of past allotment holders who have died.

Volunteered by his partner, Eileen, Geoff, teamed up with David, who is the chairman of the allotments committee, to turn the idea into reality.

Now two years later the peace garden has become established and is a welcome addition to the site.

Geoff said, “We are pleased to accept this award on behalf of everyone who was involved and supported the project, we are a great community.”

They are currently on the look-out for more benches to put in the garden, which they hope will entice people to linger there to enjoy the peace and tranquility.

The Love Hesketh Bank campaign celebrates all that is good about the village. The awards, introduced in 2016 by the parish council recognises those that have made an Left: Geoff Warminger and David Baines in the Peace Garden they helped create. outstanding contribution to the village, show- Right: Richard Shirres - awarded for his work on the Hesketh Out Marsh project ing their love for Hesketh Bank.

Chris Appleton at his new store in Ormskirk after snub to Southport

Report by Kenny Parker his bit’ for the environment by encouraging people to recycle rather than throw away their old clothes but the 34-year-old from Scarisbrick, who has a BA honours in fashion design marketing manufacturing and promotion from Huddersfield University, snubbed the resort in favour of the market town.

Chris explained: “As I was looking around for where to start my business, originally it was going to be either Southport or Wigan because those are the two places I know best.

“But looking at Southport as a town there are more empty shops and it looks run down.

“I found Ormskirk tidier, with fewer empty shops and more going on with the markets.”

A spokesperson for Sefton Councl said: “Obviously it’s very disappointing if someone chooses one area rather than another but we offer a raft of support and help to encourage businesses to set up in the borough.”

Support The council said that InvestSefton, Sefton Council’s enterprise, business support and inward investment service, continues to support local enterprises and since 2016 has engaged with more than 2,200 individual businesses.

The service provides a wide range of assistance at no cost to business. Areas of support include: access to finance, finding new business sites and premises, business planning, cashflow and cost reduction, dealing with council services more easily and effectively, and winning new business from public sector contracts.

InvestSefton also works with the council’s Sefton@work service which helps support Sefton residents into new employment opportunities arising from business growth and new inward investment in the borough.

Strictly’s Bruno to open Flower Show

LMA dancers and vocalists with Stephanie Wallace Carr (centre) and Beth next to her

Dance judge to waltz into town for annual event

Fame beckons for Beth

Report by Danielle Thompson

From page 1

The show, which will raise funds for Claire House Children’s Hospice, takes place on Sunday, May 5 and Bank Holiday Monday, May 6, with students now busy preparing for opening night.

The Fame television series ran from 1982 to 1987, with several cast members forming The Kids from Fame group. Their self-titled album spent a total of 12 weeks at the top of the UK charts in the summer of 1982 and spawned two hit singles, Hi Fidelity and Starmaker.

Beth said: “Working alongside the original cast of such a well-known series is a huge honour and we’re soaking up every minute. We know how special the film and TV show were to a lot of people and we’re really looking forward to joining them on stage to show what we can do!”

Stephanie Wallace Carr, creative director at LMA, will be choreographing the show. She said: “I’m lucky enough to have worked on some absolutely fantastic projects throughout my career, and it’s down to the inspiration Fame gave me – it was such an iconic film and, later, an amazing TV series.

“Having so many of our students involved in the show is incredible. We’re now in the throes of rehearsals and making sure we’re as slick as possible. It’s going to be a fantastic show!”

STRICTLY Come Dancing judge Bruno Tonioli will open this summer's Southport Flower Show on Thursday, August 15.

Bruno has been a main judge on Strictly since the BBC show first started in 2004 following a hugely successful career as a dancer and choreographer and also judges on the US show Dancing With The Stars.

He was born in Italy and moved to England in the 1970s where he made his name as a dancer and choreographer working with some of the biggest names in showbiz. He worked on videos and stage shows with Tina Turner, Elton John, The Rolling Stones, Boy George, Duran Duran, Freddie Mercury, Sting and Bananarama.

The TV favourite will welcome visitors to the seaside event as it celebrates its 90th anniversary this summer with a giant garden party.

He said: “I can’t wait to see everyone in

Police appeal for missing Faith

Faith Cooil.

POLICE have issued an appeal for help in finding a missing 13-year-old girl last seen in the Ainsdale area.

Faith Cooil from Appley Bridge was seen at around 8.50pm on Saturday March 30 at the One Stop Shop on Holly Brook Road.

It is believed she may have been walking to Ainsdale Train Station on Sunday morning and this is the last

known sighting of Faith.

Faith is described as white, 5ft tall and of a slim build. She has auburn brown long hair and was last seen wearing a green khaki coat with a black top, jeans and black trainers.

If you know Faith or have any information to assist with her safe return home, contact Lancashire Police on 101

Affordable homes plan for Fox and Goose From page 1 Mr Jennings has already successfully transformed the old Post Office in Crossens into housing.

However, his plans for the Fox and Goose have not gone well with everyone. A spokesperson for the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) said: “We are very sad to see yet another pub closing for good - we have lost quite a few in Southport and district.

“CAMRA campaigns to keep pubs open and we have achieved some planning regulations improvement, but unfortunately more than 10 pubs a week are still closing.

“We believe that local councils and the government should do more to keep these community hostelries open or local people should be given an opportunity to voluntarily take some of these over, as is being progressed at the Blundell Arms in

Birkdale.” In July 2018, the Champion revealed that the 4,350 sq ft live music venue had closed its doors for the final time ahead of going up for sale for £195,000.

Campaigners keen to see the Fox and Goose reopen because of its value to the town’s live music scene will be disappointed to see their hopes dashed after describing the venue as ‘iconic’.

Meanwhile, the owners of the Ship and Anchor are organising a Fox and Goose Reunion-themed event, which will be held at the end of this month.

Steve and Charlie Riding are holding the two-day event from 8pm on Friday, April 26 and Saturday, April 27. It will feature live performances from Sometime Today and Slick Cupid on Friday and Dickie McStein and Trollbangers on Saturday. Entry is free.

Southport this summer and help celebrate the 90th anniversary garden party.

One of the highlights of every Strictly season is when we visit this part of the

UK for the Blackpool Tower Ballroom show - but it is always in November and the weather is usually a bit wet and windy.

“I’m looking forward to seeing the seaside at Southport in the sunshine and hopefully I can learn a bit about how to look after my own garden at home.”

The Southport Flower Show is famous for its fabulous floral displays, show gardens and competitions for amateur growers which have attracted visitors to the resort for more than eight decades.

The showpiece Grand Floral Marquee features displays from Britain’s top growers and other highlights include the food festival and entertainment for all the family.

Bruno will join a host of famous names at Southport this year including TV gardener Matthew Wilson who will be sharing gardening tips and advice with visitors.

The show runs from Thursday, August 15 to Sunday, August 18.

Cyclist injured in collision with car on coast road A CYCLIST was seriously injured in a collision with a car on the coast road.

Merseyside Police officers are appealing for information after the incident involving a Vauxhall Astra and the cyclist - a man in his 30s - at the junction of Marine Drive and Marshside Drive at around 2.30pm on Thursday, March 28.

The cyclist was taken to hospital for assessment of head and back injuries. The driver stopped at the scene to assist.

The incident caused large tailbacks for motorists heading out of Southport towards the Plough roundabout.

A YOUNGSTER saved his sister from choking just hours after taking part in a first aid course being held at his school.

Seven-year-old Lucas James was in the bath at the family’s home with his two-year-old sister, Lillie-Anna, when she began choking on an Orbeez ball.

Orbeez are small non-toxic beads made of polymer which expand when put in water and are often used to make bath-time more fun for children.

Describing the incident Lucas’ mum Kathryn, explained: “I had run the children a ‘sensory ’ bath using Orbeez and Gelli Baff (a powder which when added to water makes it jelly-like) before leaving the room to get towels.

“When I came back just seconds later Lillie-Anna was spluttering and crying.

“Lucas quickly explained that she had one of the Orbeez in her mouth and had started choking.

“Having been on the first aid course that day he immediately smacked her on her back until the

Port chief quits for ‘fresh challenge’ Natalie Atkinson.

THE chief executive of Southport Football Club has left, just 15 months after taking up the role.

The club told fans last week that chief executive officer Natalie Atkinson was leaving “to pursue a fresh challenge within football.”

Ms Atkinson was recruited by the club from Curzon Ashton FC in January 2018 to raise the profile of Southport FC and help with its off-field redevelopment as well as securing higher income streams.

A club statement said: “The initial aim was to raise the profile of the club both locally and nationally, but Natalie has been at the heart of several other projects too.

“This included working towards securing a grant for the end of season pitch works from the Football Foundation, securing a potentially long term partnership with Everton FC, receiving additional funding to launch a community pro-

‘Club’s vision to be a success and a club Southport is proud of is unquestionably one step closer’ gramme through the National League Trust.

Natalie also built and recruited a professional off-field management team, guiding the club alongside the board of directors through the first phase of redevelopment, implemented an events and hospitality package and put a strategy in place which this season saw more season tickets sold than ever before.”

Ms Atkinson said: “Working behind the scenes over the last 12 months with a great team to raise the profile of the club has been incredible, and I am very proud of what we have achieved together.

“The year has had its ups and downs, but the club’s vision to be a success and a club that the town is proud of is unquestionably one step closer.

“I’d like to take this opportunity to place on record my thanks for the opportunity at the football club and I will take with me many great memories.

“The final ‘thank you’ must though go to the team, fans, volunteers and staff - it’s been a year that I will not forget and one I will look back on fondly, as I head towards my next challenge.”

The club added that they wish Natalie “every success in her career as she progresses forward within football, and look forward to welcoming her back as both a fan and friend of the club in the future.”

Bloom town is put in BBC TV spotlight to delight of residents Report by Danielle Thompson THE chairman of Ainsdale in Bloom has shared her pride in the competition – and says that bringing people together on the project is their 'greatest success.'

Green-fingered Sandgrounders featured on national TV last week when they revealed just how they make Southport bloom.

They appeared on an episode of the BBC Two series ‘Britain in Bloom’.

The series is currently airing on weekdays up until April 12 and provides behind-the-scenes access to the Royal Horticultural Society’s prestigious awards.

Britain in Bloom is the largest community gardening campaign in the UK – with more than 300,000 volunteers donating 11.7 million hours of their time every year – to projects that benefit the wider community.

Brenda Porter, who is also the secretary of Southport in Bloom said: “I have been involved with the competition for about 11 years.

“Ainsdale was originally entered as a Neighbourhood of Southport but in 2014, I instigated it being entered in its own right as Ainsdale in Bloom with great success. From 2014-2017 we received the next to highest award, Silver Gilt. In 2018 we were awarded Gold.

“I firmly believe the RHS ‘In Bloom’ creates a feel good factor and brings people together and is a healthy pastime.

“Ainsdale has a great committed team of volunteers supported by their local community, retailers and businesses. We enjoyed welcoming the film crew to our Village and Community Garden and we hope viewers will also enjoy the floral changes we have made ,which will continue, making Ainsdale a great place to live, work and visit.

Former flower trader, Chris Bavin with Brenda Porter and the Ainsdale in Bloom team in a scene from the BBC TV programme.

“These are exciting times as we move forward with our enhancement plans and as with all successes we have many people to thank, including the council, and bringing people together on this project must surely be our greatest success.”

The programme delighted Champion readers including Libby Wilson from Banks, who told the Champion: “The programme showed Southport in the best possible light including the amazing herbaceous border on Rotten Row, the Botanic Gardens and Ainsdale shopping street.

“All of the credit for this goes to a group of dedicated hard-working volunteers.

“Isn’t it time the town showed real appreciation for these wonderful people?

I also think that Sefton MBC should give them the recognition they deserve for doing the work that they should be doing.

“We owe these people a great deal for providing Southport with a few special

places at a time when the rest of the town seems to be slipping further and further in to decline.”

Following the programme, Sefton Council said: “The programme showed a beautiful reflection of Southport and truly recognised the wonderful work that volunteers continue to do to make a positive impact on the town.

“We are extremely grateful to the many groups of volunteers across the borough who dedicate their time to keeping Sefton clean, green and beautiful. For this reason we celebrated the Year of the Volunteer in 2018 to bring attention to the vital work that volunteers do and Friends of' groups have also featured heavily in 2019's Year of Friendship.

“The work of volunteers is far from forgotten and our Green Sefton team works closely to support Friends of' groups and celebrate their efforts each year at a volunteer celebration event.

This rightly recognises everything they do throughout the year by kindly volunteering.”

MP finds time to join students to clear up plastic waste from beaches THE town’s MP Damien Moore found time from his Brexit voting duties to team up with 60 students from Southport College to collect plastic waste on Ainsdale Beach.

Mr Moore holds regular ‘Plastic Free Southport Action Days’ to try to combat waste on the Sefton coastline and the group, who were joined by local constituents, collected more than 40 full bags on Friday, March 22, including plastic drinking straws and stirrers, condiments in plastic sachets and throwaway coffee cups with plastic lids.

Southport College brought students from the Science, Art and Photography departments to highlight the issues around plastic waste. Students then took all the plastic waste back to the college, where they cleaned the items and made them into pieces of art to highlight the effects it was having on the environment in Southport.

Mr Moore spoke with the group after the event and explained that these items can easily be replaced with recyclable,

refillable or multiple-use items.

He said: “Every year 13million tonnes of plastic enter the ocean, causing significant damage to marine life and spoiling coastal landscapes like Southport.

“I was delighted that both the older and younger generation came together to rid plastic from Southport’s beaches, I found it encouraging that we have all come together to recognise that single use plastic is not sustainable.

Environmental impact “It would only take small changes to eliminate and replace these kinds of single-use plastics and reduce the negative environmental impact, and this was the message I was trying to put across.

“Recently, the government announced their 25 Year Environment Plan, which aims to be the first generation to leave the environment in a better state than it was found - something I whole-heartedly support.

“I would also like to thank Southport

College and the students who attended to help with the beach clean, it was encouraging that the younger generation took a keen interest in cleaning up Southport’s beaches and highlighting the use of single use plastic.”

Lynette Smith, curriculum lead for science at the college added: “It was great to be part of such an important project.

We’re all aware of the damage plastic is doing to our world and I am very proud of our students who want to make a difference.

“Some of those involved will study subjects such as Marine Biology, Ecology and Conservation at university in September, so this was a really valuable experience.

“Environmental issues are a key part of the science curriculum and it is vital that we support the students in identifying the impact, so hopefully this is just the start of the college’s involvement in such projects.”

Trust hands over 1,119 meals to Sefton foodbanks FOODBANKS in Sefton will benefit from a slice of 1,119 meals donated by an NHS trust.

Staff from North West Boroughs Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust teamed up with the Trussell Trust charity to make the sizeable donation to its North West foodbanks, including those in Sefton, as part of NHS Nutrition and Hydration Week.

During the week, donation points were open in buildings across the trust for staff and visitors to donate items of nonperishable food.

All items were collected by local food banks to be sorted into emergency meal parcels by volunteers.

North West Boroughs Healthcare Foundation Trust provide treatment, support and guidance for a range of health needs for people living in Greater Manchester, Halton, Knowsley, Sefton, St Helens, Warrington and Wigan.

These include physical and mental health conditions and learning disabilities.

“I was delighted to hear we collectively donated over 1,000 meal parcels across our trust, which will now go to people in our local communities who really need them.”

Dan O’Brien, area manager for the Trussell Trust said: “North West Boroughs Healthcare does

fantastic work. We’re so glad food banks in our network could benefit from the collection organised by them to help support people in distress, facing emergencies.

“Of course none of this would be possible without the support of our volunteers and donors.

We’re continually blown away by people’s support to provide emergency help, and ultimately work towards a future without hunger and poverty.”

Council issue travel advice ahead of Grand National Festival Report by Henry James

SEFTON is once again preparing to welcome thousands of visitors to the borough as part of the three day Aintree Grand National Festival which starts tomorrow (Thursday, April 4.)

The local authority is one of the many agencies that will help thousands of festival goers get to and from Aintree Racecourse as smoothly as possible this week.

Working alongside Merseyside Police, Merseytravel and several other partners, the Council’s traffic management team helps coaches, cars, limousines and even horse boxes get to the right place at the right time.

They also help residents who aren't attending the festival, and businesses who are potentially affected by it, to go about their daily business with as little disruption as possible.

A number of diversions and traffic management measures will be in place throughout the festival's three days (Thursday, April 4 - Saturday, April 6) including temporary closures.

Residents who are not attending the festival are advised to

Aintree racecourse during the running of the Grand National

avoid the A59 Ormskirk Road from Switch Island through to the Black Bull junction.

Ormskirk Road, as well as Park Lane between Bridle Road and Ormskirk Road, will be closed between 4pm and 9pm on all three festival days. Heavy traffic is expected on the A59 from 10am - 2pm.

During the closure, traffic will be diverted via Switch Island, Dunningsbridge Road, Netherton Way and Southport Road.

A spokesman for Sefton Council said: “Every year the Aintree Festival brings thousands of racegoers, tourists and visitors

to our borough and once again all eyes will be on Sefton as the home of incredible international events.

“We are working closely with partners to help keep the borough moving during the festival and to keep disruption to a minimum.

“People wishing to attend the race meeting itself are encouraged to use the Merseyrail network and alight at Aintree station.

“After racing finishes on both Friday and Saturday buses will be operating from Park Lane into Liverpool City Centre.”

Former Rotarians’ fundraiser boosts funds for foodbank SOUTHPORT Foodbank’s funds have been boosted by a gala evening held at the Bliss Hotel.

New Headers.indd 2 FEENIX is a small group of former Rotarians who continue to meet regularly to discuss and arrange social events, parties and holidays. They have more than 100 friends and followers, who join them for regular social activities and outings. They have supported the Trussell Trust's Southport Foodbank in the past and decided to use their organising skills to arrange the event, which featured a dinner dance and red carpet reception, to support this worthy cause.

They raised £1,000 which they donated to the charity recently.

Alison Read, Southport Foodbank’s welfare benefit advisor said: “Feenix’s generous support will enable the Foodbank to continue providing emergency support across the Southport and Formby area.”

LETTERS to the Editor

RSPB nature reserves will become only accessible to the well off...

Regarding the RSPB’s proposals to charge motorists to park at its Marshside site, a community in Anglesey has also been engaged in a campaign against pay & display parking at our local site at South Stack for over a year.

Planning permission for the pay & display machines was refused twice by Councillors but unfortunately the RSPB chose to appeal to the Planning Inspectorate and ultimately won their case.

We have a petition against the charges with some 6,660 signatories which is a huge number for this small corner of Wales.

In our case through repeated campaigning we have managed to get a fix on the fee for three years but be aware that at other sites charges are reviewed annually.

Clearly, the more we hear, the more we

realise that this is part of a much bigger story and despite the fact that the RSPB receives numerous public grants, it is looking to generate more and more income at the expense of the public.

If all this money was going to conserve nature and save the birds, it would become a much more palatable proposition but we have demonstrated time and again that the money could go elsewhere.

We have many RSPB members (some who have since left the RSPB) who support our cause. Complaining to the management or trustees of the RSPB results in the same old answers.

We will not give up and nor should the locals of Southport.

This is part of a drip, drip, drip of financial pressure on locals and hard-pressed

visitors, who we should be encouraging to get outdoors for their mental and physical well being.

We wonder if we will reach a time when these places become only accessible to the well off and those at the bottom of the economic scale are left to go without their history, heritage and culture.

The response from RSPB supporters will be ‘it's only £1.50/£3’ but only people with spare change in their pockets make that statement. To many (in our area and I suspect most areas of the UK), the reality is food banks and poverty and a couple of pounds here or there is just not feasible.

So why play in Sedbergh?

I used to live five miles outside of Sedbergh, it is a lovely place to live or go walking in the countryside, BUT... play county cricket?

Sedbergh, which is in the Yorkshire Dales has hardly any public transport, and the nearest main line railway station is the other side of the M6 at Oxenholme which is nearly 10 miles away. The only other railway stations are Garsdale and Dent which go towards Yorkshire.

It is a market town and the residents are more likely to support

Yorkshire County Cricket than Lancashire. Why play a county cricket match at a private school which Sedbergh School is?

No doubt the venue of this cricket match has been revealed at this stage so they can say it is now too late to arrange an alternative venue.

I am not a cricket fan, but the followers of Lancashire Cricket Club from the Merseyside and Manchester ares are being well and truly hoodwinked.

In praise of Marian Centre!

I have been reading the Champion’s ‘Help the Homeless’ campaign and I wanted to speak out in praise of the Marian Centre in Southport.

Run by volunteers from St Marie’s Church on Seabank Road, the centre offers soup and sandwiches and hot drinks to all members of the community twice a day, five days a week

and many people would be lost without it. They help so many people that they get through 90 loaves of bread a week!

I want to thank them for quietly helping so many people, without any desire for praise.

It’s just a couple of quid Role of Nursing Associates is welcomed - but perhaps it’s not to help save our wildlife I feel the recent front page story in the Chamas pioneering as first thought Half-hearted caddy service pion (Fowl Move) to be very biased and unfair.

Congratulations to all the newly qualified nursing associates who have now graduated and good luck to them in their new posts.

However, is it a case of ‘what goes around, comes around’?

When I started training as a student nurse in the 1970’s - there were pupil nurses who were studying for qualification as State Enrolled Nurses.

It was a two year course which involved all aspects of nursing care and theory.

It was a more practical training but once qualified, the SEN assisted the ward sister and staff nurses as well as look after the pupil and student nurses. As they became more senior -

the SEN was often left in charge of a ward.

Many a student nurse had a lot to thank the SEN for as he/she assisted us with the practical requirements needed in our training.

Sadly, these nurses were phased out with the changes in nurse training and were encouraged to complete a conversion course to become a registered nurse.

While I appreciate the new associates will be a great support to the medical and nursing staff - it is perhaps not as pioneering as first thought.

It’s the RSPB’s land, they are a charity, and totally within their rights to charge a nominal fee for parking, as they do on most of their reserve carparks.

The money goes towards a worthwhile charity, so what's the problem?

The only people that will lose out on free car parking space are the dog walkers and people just fancying a stroll on the front.

Are people trying to say the car park should be kept free so they can take advantage of a renowned national charity? Come on, a couple of quid to help save our wild life is nothing.

MP Esterson a traitor to democracy I recently sent my MP an email asking him how he voted in the various Brexit motions To date I have not had a reply and so ask myself why is he scared of telling us as our elected MP. I have no doubt he has not answered as he, along with other MPs, chose to ignore 17.4 million Leave voters believing us all to be idiots.

An MP - be it Labour or Conservative - who does not obey the will of the people and seeks their own self interests over the voters is a traitor to democracy.

I would remind him he was elected

on his party’s manifesto to obey the vote and take us out of Europe. There was nothing in Labour’s manifesto that stated we won’t leave if we have a no deal.

The votes he appears to have sided with cannot be called anything other than treasonous and I, along with other voters (I hope), will punish these MPs at the ballot box.

I am aware he voted to an extension of Article 50, so that’s certainly one vote lost from me on the principle that he was elected on a lie.

Utterly Disgusted, Formby

Ron’s take on Frankenstein at Little Theatre was ‘huge disappointment’ A group of us went to see the production of Frankenstein at the Little Theatre, a few weeks ago.

We all found it a very powerful and riveting production, so much so, that we stood to applause at the end, so to read Ron Ellis’s review in the Champion was a bit of a shock and a huge disappointment.

Ron’s review mostly dwells, in a rather flat negative tone, about the killings by ‘the creature’ who, because he is mostly met with cruelty and misunderstanding, becomes desperate and vengeful.

Ron seems to reject that Mary Shelley's story has any ‘deep significance, but it actually deals with very important and modern themes including parental neglect, isolation, acceptance, scientific

responsibility, the dangers of ‘playing God’, disability, slavery, revenge, to name but a few, and maybe the most significant message of all, is what it means to be human and to both need to love, and be loved.

Being a compassionate human being I experienced a roller coaster of emotions as I empathised with the Creator and the Creature and at times felt repulsed, disturbed, thrilled, angered and saddened.

One thing for sure, was myself, my friends and even my 17-year-old daughter were hugely ‘entertained’.

I can honestly say it is one of the best pieces of drama I have seen since King Lear. Well done!

Julie Godsell, Southport

providing an adequate service. We have had to contact them - on far too many occasions to count - as our collection was missed.

This is not environmentally a good situation having food waste sitting outside your house for weeks on end because they ‘forgot’ to collect it. Not only is the smell unpleasant it also attracts vermin etc.

In our numerous com-

plaints we were told the agency they used were not very good, or the manager controlling this was off sick... blah, blah, blah.

Is it not a case of like everything else Sefton does it is half-hearted, not thought through properly, and carried out as cheaply as possible, thus resulting in a poor service.

Patricia Withers, Southport

Decision to scrap food waste collections flies in face of common sense... and imminent legislation While I have every sympathy with budget constraints Sefton Council face, the decision to scrap food waste caddy collections flies in the face of common sense and imminent legislation.

Sefton state in your article they will await further guidance from DEFRA. They won’t have to wait long.

DEFRA have already published a ‘Waste & Resources Strategy for England and Wales’ in which weekly food waste collections from households are to become mandatory for all local authorities.

The cut to this service now is not only pointless in that not only will it recommence in the near future but also sends a terrible message to Sefton householders about food waste management in the home.

David McDiarmid, Crosby

Council should get its own house in order before blaming residents

Chris Short has submitted this image of a male Reed Bunting casually catching some sun while showing off its subtle yet striking plumage.

The picture was taken at WWT Martin Mere where Chris is a media volunteer.

To submit a photograph for our Picture of the Week, email it to editorial@champnews.com Don’t forget to include your name, the area you come from and a brief photo caption.

Sefton Council has been quick to blame residents, and the drop off in food recycling caddy use, for the planned termination of the food recycling service as reported in the Champion. Perhaps however they need to look a bit closer to home.

Following my complaint last month, the Council acknowledged that the food waste collection service is not currently at acceptable standards - is it therefore any surprise if residents, fed up with missed collections and rotting food on their doorstep for weeks on end, take an easier option.

The Council have also been quick to point out that they have the best recycling figures on Merseyside but sadly this is a case of being the best of a bad lot.

Sefton’s 36.9% recycling is below average nationally and falls well short of the 50% target due to be achieved by 2020.

The Council should take care to get its own house in order before blaming willing but disheartened residents.

Aggression on roads has become norm Our roads have become an area of life where aggression and disrespect have been allowed to become the norm.

Roads are no longer the shared space which we all have an equal right to use in a law abiding and safe manner.

Since 2013, on residential roads in Sefton, there has been a failure to include selfenforcement as an essential element of the reduction of the speed limit to 20 mph.

Consequently, the 20 mph limit is discredited.

If you can’t get drivers to adhere to

the speed limit in our residential areas where risk is greatest, especially to our children and our elderly as the most vulnerable in our community, then how can we get drivers to adhere to any speed limit?

In some areas, speeding at all times of the day is excessive. Speeds on narrow residential roads typically twice that of the 20 mph limit; the worst drivers will speed over 50 mph!

Yet no one in a position of authority does anything about it, so the problem not only goes unresolved it

actively gets worse with more drivers joining the ‘if you can't beat them...’ attitude, often just to avoid themselves being tailgated and harassed.

Sefton Council arrogantly refused to adhere to the criteria of the Department for Transport document covering the effective introduction of 20 mph limits on residential roads - DfT Circular 01/2013 Setting Local Speed Limits - which advised against the reduction of speed limits on roads where speeds exceeded the then 30 mph limit unless selfenforcement measures

Xander and the Peace Pirates on song to help CALM charity May I, through your letters page, bring to the attention of your readers of a campaign being run by a local band, Xander and the Peace Pirates.

In May last year, our son, Christopher, died due to depression. We were lucky and grateful that the band agreed to play at his funeral.

After his funeral, but mainly as a result of previous mental health issues within the band, they decided

to help the charity CALM. They have released a cover version of Prince’s song, Purple Rain. Proceeds of which will be going to support CALM. Details of the campaign and details of how to buy the single can be found on their website www.xanderandthepeacepirates.com.

were implemented at the same time.

It was already proven that drivers would not voluntarily reduce their speeds from 30+ mph down to 20 mph; they would have to be compelled to do so, as the speed

differential was too great.

If those DfT criteria had been applied, we would not have the dangerous speeding that we now have.

Paul Ford, Crosby

Town needs ‘green deal’ I was saddened to discover that planning permission has been granted for the building of executive houses in the Warren Court/Westcliffe Road area of Southport.

Although the application referred to the site as being ‘former garages’ (although many have been in use) the building will entail the removal of dozens of mature trees, bushes and hedges as well as the enclosure of well-used communal green space.

This land is home to sycamore, elm and cherry trees and for countless birds, insects and other wildlife. You will see bats there and hear owls. All of this will soon be grubbed up and replaced with concrete, just as we recently lost the bio-diverse meadowland to the rear of Warren Court, which was also sacrificed for ‘executive homes’.

The United Nations tells us we have 12 years to prevent catastrophic climate breakdown. Meanwhile more and more of our green and pleasant land is being lost forever to speculative development that takes advantage of the new ‘anything goes’ planning laws as well as inept neighbourhood and Local Plans and our couldn’t-care-less councillors.

We need to fight for our trees and green spaces.

We need a new Green Deal for Southport.

Queenscourt chips in to help sensory centre in West Lancs

30% OFF ALL WARM ROOFS

FUNDRAISERS at Queenscourt Hospice were able to share the joy when they donated 10% of their annual Christmas Tree Collection to another charity - a wellness and sensory centre for youngsters with disabilities and additional needs.

Earlier this year, hospice volunteers joined forces with Just Helping, a charity that works together with hospices, businesses and volunteers to collect and recycle real Christmas trees and raise money for good causes.

They collected more than 1,000 Christmas trees, raising a total of £11,724.01 in donations.

Of this, 90 per cent of the monies raised (£10,551.61) went to Queenscourt and the hospice designated the remaining 10 per cent (£1,172.40) to Twinkle House in Skelmersdale.

Twinkle House is a wellness and sensory centre that provides free support sessions for children and young people with disabilities and additional needs. The charity also provides a range of sensory rooms and a hydrotherapy pool for all ages, as well as sleep counselling, therapeutic dance, yoga and mindfulness sessions for children and young people up to the age of 19-years-old.

The money provided by the Christmas Tree Collection will help to fund the wide range of

Tree recycling scheme raises funds for hospice and Twinkle House services that Twinkle House provides, including its hydrotherapy pool.

On presenting the donation to the Twinkle House team, Rachel Kennedy, Queenscourt Hospice community fundraiser said:

“We’re delighted that this year’s Christmas Tree Collection has been able to benefit another charity as well as Queenscourt Hospice.

“Twinkle House is a charity that bears many similarities to ours.

Like Queenscourt Hospice, it was set up by members of the local community for the local community, and it places a focus on supporting families and loved ones.

“We want to say an enormous thank-you to everyone who helped to make the Christmas Tree Collection such a success.”

Liverpool is named third best place to visit in the UK, according to TripAdvisor For ‘reality ’ TV shows it’s time to ‘get them out of here!’

LAST week saw celebrity Pamela Anderson saying it's time to ban so-called ‘reality shows’ on TV. Well I'd certainly back her on that one.

I watched the first few episodes of the first ‘I'm a Celebrity ’ and decided then and there that I wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.

I never managed to get through a single showing of Big Brother and my opinion of these what used to be called ‘Talent Competitions’ after watching one or two was that the same standard of performance could be equalled or better at many local clubs up and down the country.

Pam though was concerned about the frighteningly high suicide rate of those ‘stars’ who have subsequently committed suicide as a result of their catapult into stardom.

A least 38 hopefuls since 1986 have taken their own lives after being catapulted into instant stardom through 'reality shows' and talent contests.

And that is a sad yet understandable outcome from folk who realise that they don't have that much to offer - and often apparently not very much money either at the end of it all.

So yes, I genuinely feel sorry for them - it must have seemed that a glittering future awaited them, and indeed a fortunate few did find genuine stardom. Most do not.

So good luck to Pamela Anderson on that one so far as I am concerned.

It would from a purely personal point of view free up our TV channels for more drama productions and also hopefully more of those marvellous comedy shows like Fawlty Towers, Dad’s Army, Black Adder and One Foot in the Grave.

Have you noticed that programmes such as these are still repeated regularly, appreciated not only by people such as I who remember them from the first time round, but by new younger audiences as well.

Surely there is still the talent out there to write more of the same - or is it the TV bosses who have turned their backs on this kind of entertainment?

If I remember correctly, even Fawlty Towers was originally turned down - and that was then.

So what hope for now?

Anyway, I see the Brexit supporter who threw an egg at Jeremy Corbyn has been handed a month in jail sentence - and that puzzles me.

Not that anyone should throw an egg at the Leader of Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition, I can understand that, but to be jailed for it?

Surely, being the target for thrown eggs and indeed rotten tomatoes, at politicians of whom you do not approve, is par for the course.

If I remember correctly no-one was jailed for throwing an egg - or was it eggs? - at then Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott a few years ago. Mind you, throwing anything at Mr Prescott was a risky business anyway, he was more than likely to give you a thump for your trouble.

But so far as I know Mr Corbyn was not physically hurt (apparently he was “shocked and surprised”).

OK, throwing things at folk is intrinsically wrong.

But had I been Mr Corbyn I would have probably exchanged words with my attacker - and told the police I did not wish to press charges against my assailant who would have felt rather silly had Mr C simply wiped off the mess, and hopefully come up with an appropriate wisecrack to turn the tables.

It seems to me that today’s crop of MPs really are rather thin skinned compared to some of their mighty forebears.

Prescott was one, but can you imagine the trouble you would have faced had you slung an egg at Bessie Bradock?

I imagine the safety of a prison cell would have been preferable.

Anyway, Mr Corbyn's attacker was reported to be “perfectly happy to go to jail” - so that's alright then.

But enough of politicians.

A great city to visit - Liverpool

LIVERPOOL has been named the third best place to visit in the entire UK by TripAdvisor.

The travelwebsite's annual Travellers’ Choice Awards for Destinations was released last week, and is based on millions of reviews and opinions by internet users for hotels, restaurants and the general experience of an area.

Liverpool came third in the UK list, behind second-placed Edinburgh and winners London.

A spokesperson for TripAdvisor said: “Award winners were determined using an algorithm based on reviews and ratings for hotels, restaurants and experiences in destinations worldwide over a 12month period.

“The methodology takes into account quality and volume of reviews to surface destinations that consistently deliver the best overall experience for

travellers.” Elsewhere in the UK list, Glasgow was fourth, Belfast fifth, but Manchester was only named ninth best place to visit in the UK. Chris Brown, director of Marketing Liverpool, said, “These awards are particularly important to us, because they are the results of millions of reviews across our entire offer – hotels, restaurants, attractions and experiences.

“It’s not something that can be influenced by glitzy advertising campaigns but rather reflects the authentic experience people have here whether they’re domestic or international visitors.

“With that in mind, it’s a phenomenal achievement to again keep our third spot, only behind the two great capital cities of London and Edinburgh.”

Stranded octopus comes to no ’arm!

Competition Winner MR SHAW

Installer

being presented with his prize of a Rise & Recline Armchair

by Julian Tyms

Director at WEST LANCS FURNITURE

A VISITOR to Crosby beach stumbled across an octopus!

The two-legged, six-armed creature was found on the sand by walker Darren Paul but although there were concerns for its wellbeing, the octopus returned to the sea safely.

Social media users identified it as a lesser octopus, also known as a curled octopus, which are usually found in fairly shallow waters.

They can grow to around 50cm in length and are found all around the waters of the British Isles, and throughout European waters, particularly the Mediterranean, and also off the northern coast of Africa.

The lesser octopus is generally a red to orange colour, although they also have the same colour changing ability as the common octopus.

The octopus found on the beach

This is not the first time that unusual creatures have washed up on Crosby beach.

In 2013 a dead Minke whale appeared on the sand and in 2017 a furry-looking creature was spotted which caused debate until experts decided it was a sea mouse. Also in 2017 there was a reported sighting of a dead baby dolphin and a 2ft long baby school shark.

FOODBANKS in Sefton will benefit from a slice of more than 1,100 meals donated by an NHS trust.

Staff from North West Boroughs Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust teamed up with the Trussell Trust charity to make a sizeable donation to its North West foodbanks, including those in Sefton.

It was part of the NHS Nutrition and Hydration Week and they managed to collect 1,119 meals, which is a total weight of 470kg worth of food.

During Nutrition and Hydration Week, donation points were open in buildings across the Trust’s footprint for staff and visitors to donate items of nonperishable food.

At the end of the week, all items were collected by local foodbanks to be sorted into emergency meal parcels by

Just some of the food donated by NHS staff

volunteers who gave up their time.

Simon Barber, chief executive at North West Boroughs Healthcare, said: “We wanted to do something different to mark Nutrition and Hydration Week this year, so we decided to organise a Trust-wide food bank

donation to give back to our local communities. I am very proud of the generosity of our staff and I was delighted to hear we collectively donated over 1,000 meal parcels across our Trust, which will now go to people in our local communities who really need them.”

Cheaper Fast Tag fees begin at Mersey Tunnel

Prescott Road, Pimbo, Nr. Wigan WN8 9QD (5 mins from Junction 5)

www.lancashiremanorhotel.com for further details

Telephone 01695 567260

SEFTON motorists who use the Mersey Tunnel with a Fast Tag are now paying £1 after the reduced fees were brought into force this week.

The reduced rate, which was first announced by Liverpool metro mayor Steve Rotheram in January, is for residents who live in the Liverpool City

Region. Figures released by Merseytravel and the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority reveal that more than 57,000 people a day will benefit from the new lower toll.

For those who use the tunnel every day, it would save them around £400 over the course

of 12 months. The cash toll for cars will be frozen at £1.80, which is still 20p less per journey than the rise authorised by the Tunnels Act. The tolls for all other vehicles – including large vans, coaches and HGVs – will also be held at 2018 rates.

Sefton pubs urged to raise a glass to Liverpool Beer Week PUBS, bars and breweries in Sefton are being urged to raise a glass to Liverpool Beer Week!

Only the second ever Liverpool Beer Week will start on Friday, June 21 to celebrate the growing popularity of local real ale and craft beer and how they help boost local businesses.

The week-long event, organised by the Liverpool Beer Collective, is aimed at encouraging participation from across the Liverpool City Region and invites pubs, bars and breweries to hold

their own events, charity work and even create a new beer for the occasion.

It will culminate in the Liverpool Craft Beer Expo’s final session on Sunday, June 30 at Liverpool's North Docks, which is the largest craft beer festival in Liverpool.

The current chairperson of Liverpool Beer Collective, Pedro Cotzier, said “We're really looking forward to creating a second Beer Week in Liverpool and across Merseyside. The beer scene is still an emerging one but one with a bright future and

deeply creative undertow.

We're certain this year will build on our previous successful year of good participation, supporting local and drinking great beer brewed right here in the Liverpool City Region.

“Liverpool Beer Week is also a chance to do some great work for charity.

“Through our friends at Claire House, we’re hoping that those attending events will leave as enthusiasts and supporters of a worthy local charity and our excellent local craft businesses.”

A scene from Kinky Boots

Kinky Boots walks straight into audiences’ hearts thanks to uplifting show Review by Henry James

THERE is no holding back with Kinky Boots as this show is loud and full of energy.

The musical with lyrics by Cyndi Lauper, which can be seen at the Liverpool Empire until Saturday April 6, is based on the 2005 film written by Tim Firth. He was the man behind Calendar Girls, so expect a good story.

Watkins) at the family shoe factory, Price & Son, in Northampton.

Charlie then leaves the company to move to London with his girlfriend, Nicola (Helen Ternent).

However when Charlie’s dad dies he finds himself at the head of the company, which is struggling.

He comes up with a plan to save it after helping drag queen, Lola (Kayi Ushe), who is in a fight with two drunks.

The company launches a range of boots which can also be worn by men.

Lola steals many of the scenes and is ably assisted by the Angels.

Charlie lightens up as the musical pro-

gresses. One of his standout scenes is when he sings Soul of A Man in Act Two. On the night I went the end of the number was met with rapturous applause.

There are some good characters in the factory too, including Don (Demitri Lampra) who has difficulty accepting Lola at first. Also of note is Lauren (Paula Lane) who has the hots for Charlie.

Kinky Boots has some good messages too, such as the importance of tolerance and acceptance.

Be prepared for a high octane night with plenty of laughs along the way to lift the spirits. Rating: 8/10

ABBA tribute act comes to The Epstein ABBA – Forever, is one of the UK’s leading international tribute shows and is coming to The Epstein Theatre in Liverpool.

Theatre audiences from across Great Britain and Sweden have long enjoyed this superb recreation of possibly the world‘s greatest pop band.

The unique Abba sound is replicated with an incredible attention to detail, using a sixpiece band featuring electric and acoustic guitars, keyboards and piano, drums and bass guitar.

Two outstanding Abba girls complete the line-up, adding the essential glitz and glam-

our to a well-polished and gently humorous show. The superb lyrics penned by Benny and Bjorn are sung in wonderful harmony by all six performers on stage.

Dynamic non-stop choreography, stunning visuals, topclass musicianship and an all live performance ensures that the ABBA Forever show captivates audiences from the opening refrain to the final sing-along chorus of this twohour spectacular.

Sweeney Entertainments, co-founded by Julie and Peter Sweeney, has been providing a wide repertoire of top-quality touring shows for theatre and

corporate events for over 18 years both in the UK and internationally and now boasts a repertoire of fourteen touring productions.

Julie said: “ABBA Forever is a great concert experience for all ages, authentically reproducing some of the best pop hits of all time.”

The company saw its busiest year to date in 2018 and now has even more performances on offer, at a growing number of venues, and with the strongest audience figures to date.

Jane Ellis, who performs as Agnetha in the show, said: “I am very fortunate to have the

opportunity to perform some of the best songs of all time and tour some of the UK’s most prestigious venues and beautiful theatres. We play all the big Abba hits and more, even putting some surprise album tracks in there for the most ardent Abba fan.”

Packed full of excitement and exuberance, Abba Forever will take you on a journey back to the 70’s guaranteed to get you up and dancing in the aisles.

It will be held at The Epstein Theatre on Saturday, April 27 at 8pm. Tickets are £23 and can be bought by calling the Box Office on: 0844 888 4411.

Traffic METROPOLITAN BOROUGH OF SEFTON ROAD TRAFFIC REGULATION (SPECIAL EVENTS) ACT 1994 UNDER SECTION 16A – 16C TEMPORARY CLOSURES AND RESTRICTION OF VARIOUS ROADS COASTAL ROAD, AINSDALE MONDAY 8th APRIL 2019 On 3rd April 2019, Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council made an Order under Section 16(a) to 16 (c) of the Road Traffic Regulation (Special Events) Act, 1994 to enable filming on the highway.

On 8th April EMU TV will be carrying out filming for a major production on Coastal Road, Ainsdale. The section of Coastal Road affected is between its junctions with Weld Road, Birkdale and Shore Road, Ainsdale. It will be required to close Coastal Road to facilitate filming in a safe environment. Coastal Road will be closed from 10.00 hours until 23.59 hours for the purposes of the filming.

Coastal Road is an important route for walkers and cyclists as it forms part of the Trans Pennine Trail. The diversion route for all traffic is quite extensive and it is therefore considered that walkers and cyclists can still use the cycle path adjacent to Coastal Road but during the day walkers and cyclists will be asked to wait for periods until a break in filming when they will be able to pass through.

The diversion of all traffic will be via Weld Road, A565 Lulworth Road, A565 Waterloo Road, A565 Liverpool Road, Kenilworth Road and Shore Road and vice versa.

The Order will be in force between 10.00 hours until 23.59 hours on Monday 8th April 2019.

Access will be maintained for the Emergency Services and where possible for residents.

You can take one of these up to 88mph - unlike new cars on the way over the next few years

BACK to the Future the hysteria you might have ended a bit might have read in the differently had Doc tabloids about new Brown ventured a few cars having their veloyears further. Rather city vetoed by Eurothan only time-travelling approved intelligent as far as the heady, pretech, I reckon the real Brexit days of 2015 and risk to the cars we returning with a flying know and love today DeLorean capable of lies much further running on household down the line. waste, he might have There is a lot in the found himself dealing European Commiswith EU-mandated speed limiters instead. sion’s rules for new cars post-2022 that make sense. Would I have a It would have been a fairly rubbish ending, with our time- drowsiness-detecting sensor jolt the driver in the other lane back travelling star stuck in the 2020s because it’s no longer allowed into action, rather than him drifting into my path? to power up to 88mph (although it would’ve spared everyone Most definitely. Help with braking in emergencies and better the third film, which perhaps isn’t such a bad thing). Yet for all seatbelts? I’m down with that. There are suggestions too for tech that prevents you from driving if you’re plastered, which is long overdue.

It’s not the principle of the tech that troubles me, but the logistics.

If all cars in a decade’s time have their speed controlled intelligently, then there has to be some sort of communication between their internal electronic trickery and whatever roadside gantry is beaming the signals out.

This isn’t the stuff of Tomorrow’s World, as it was trialled down in Kent last year, but if you want to drive something older than a brand-new Audi you might find you’re at a disadvantage – or not allowed altogether.

Put it this way – I spent last weekend driving around in a 29-year-old Mitsubishi which, with a PEUGEOT P SINNIS bit of TLC, could probably reach the same age DJANGO D SHUTTLE again. It saves all the environmental grief of makEVASION EV 125cc ing a brand-new car from scratch, but because an 125cc 12 electric sunroof and a radio/cassette is about the height of its gadgetry it would be a nightmare to retrofit with intelligent speed limiters and data recorders.

The long-term risk is that it, and thousands of older cars cherished by their owners for all sorts of reasons, won’t be allowed onto our increasingly smart roads because they’re too analogue. £1575 £2795 The challenge for the powers-that-be is working OTR OTR out how to move with the times without inadvertently legislating all of our Triumph TR4s, our MG 0% Finance Available Midgets and – in my case – our 29-year-old Mitsubishis off the roads.

BENEFITS OF A SCOOTER: Otherwise I’ll be asking Doc Brown if I can hitch a • £18 tax • Free tunnel • Free parking • 100+ MPG ride.

S&B batting boost with Aussie signing for new season THE 2019 Liverpool & District Cricket Competition gets underway on Saturday, April 20 and it’s time to take a look at the comings and goings in the Premier Division, writes Glenn Wallworth.

Newly promoted Southport & Birkdale have not let the disappointment of missing out on hosting a 2019 Lancashire County Championship match affect morale at the club, with a team behind the scenes doing plenty of work around the ground including fully refurbishing the indoor school.

Skipper Chris Firth has signed experienced left handed batsman Will Affleck from Parramatta in Sydney. His record in first grade cricket speaks for itself and it’s hoped that his knowledge will be a help both on the pitch and off it during the week helping the club’s seniors and its thriving junior section with Gary Keedy.

Formby have appointed Elliot Ketteringham as their new skipper and he’s been busy securing the signings of former Hightown St Mary’s and Zimbabwean international Tatenda Taibu in a player/coaching role, top order batsman Jason Underwood from Pwllheli, and all rounder Dave Atkinson from Rainhill. He will be very happy to see 2018 paceman George Burrows back to full fitness after missing last season due to injury and Ireland’s Will Porterfield available on a more regular basis. Three players leaving the club are former England opener Haseeb Hameed, Lancashire spinner Stephen Parry and former Lancashire batsman Karl Brown who has joined Accrington.

Current champions Northern are looking to retain their title and James Cole has signed opening bowler Danny

Pace bowler Burrows back to full fitness for Formby Houghton from Rainford and top order batsman Taylor Cornall from Lytham, while Jamie Barnes has returned to Ormskirk and Andy Baybutt to Orrell Red Triangle.

Nicky Caunce at Ormskirk has signed last season’s leading run scorer Tyler McGladdery from Rainhill, brought back Jamie Barnes from Northern and the club have also added Michael Gill and Chris King to bolster the clubs ranks.

Andy Baybutt has returned to Orrell and Alex Mason has gone to Lytham. The club are also proud to announce that two of their young home grown players George Lavelle and Tom Hartley have recently signed professional contracts with Lancashire CCC. Bootle have appointed keeper Neil Williams as their new skipper and his first signings are opening bowler Kieron New from Prestatyn and paceman Jhangir Liaqat from Colne.

However the pick of his new recruits has to be Sheffield Shield Tasmanian and Big Bash Melbourne Renegade off spinning all rounder Beau Webster who comes to Wadham Road fresh from a century against New South Wales.

Those leaving the club are Craig Prince who has joined Southport Trinity, Bharat Tripathi who has returned to Burnley and Chris Liptrot who has decided to end his career back at Highfield.

Visit to York offers chance to leapfrog hosts SOUTHPORT visit mid-table York City on Saturday and will leapfrog the hosts if they win.

The Minstermen are currently in 13th place in the National League North table and have three more points than Port but with a worse goal difference.

They have drawn their last three matches and are without a win since March 2.

For travelling fans this could be the last chance to visit York’s Bootham Crescent ground as the club are set to move to a new stadium for next season.

Solid home display ends in stalemate Report by Jonathan O’Byrne Southport 0 Brackley Town 0 SOUTHPORT earned a point against in form promotion contenders Brackley which was a decent effort given the visitors arrived on the back of a seven game winning streak.

Port enjoyed the better chances in the game although the visitors came close to taking all the points when they hit bar in the final minutes.

Andy Parry returned to the side as Brad Bauress was left out as the ankle injury he sustained in February continues to linger.

Parry had a vital role in the side, tasked with stifling Brackley’s creative James Armson.

Southport had started the livelier of the two sides.

Dion Charles was a constant menace and Jordan Archer who led the line for the Sandgrounders was a thorn in the Saints rearguard.

In an uneventful first half Brackley’s best attempt was ruled offside when former Southport favourite Carl Baker’s goal was disallowed.

The second half was again tightly contested.

The match came alive in a 60 second save when Danny Lewis made a remarkable save after Dion Charles had broken through on goal.
