AN ambitious plan for a tidal lagoon off the coast of Southport looks to have been sunk without trace.

The news that a £1.3billion scheme in Swansea is set to be rejected by ministers, has disappointed campaigners locally who wanted to harness the Sefton coast to create a stateof-the-art renewable energy source.

The Swansea Bay project is expected to be turned down largely due to concerns over high costs to consumers.

It was hoped that a similar scheme would be looked at favourably for Southport should the Swansea tidal lagoon be given the go-ahead.

It is expected that ministers are preparing to reject the proposal, despite strong support from the Welsh government,

An image of how a tidal lagoon could have looked

which has offered to invest in its future.

Tidal Lagoon campaigners in Southport include Dukes Ward Councillor John Pugh who now fears that if Swansea's ‘trailblazer ’ project is not given the green light, plans for other lagoons around the country,

including Southport, will be lost. In January 2017, an Independent Review of Tidal Lagoons, was published, which was backed by a number of MPs, including John Pugh, who was then the town’s MP. The report made more than

30 recommendations for delivering a tidal lagoon auditory bringing maximum benefit to the UK, with suggested sites proposed for all around the country. The report concluded that the benefits to the UK ‘could be huge’.

SEFTON Council chiefs have vowed to minimise the impact of air pollution across the borough.

As part of its 2030 Vision, the council is committed to maintaining a ‘clean, green and beautiful borough’.

The pledge encourages everybody to work together to keep Sefton clean and green, with a commitment to recycling, low pollution and better air quality.

Now the council has put an action plan in place to help minimise the impact of air pollution.

However, council bosses say there are things that residents can do to help improve air quality in their area and in preparation for National Clean Air Day (June 21), the council is asking the public to pledge to make a small change to help reduce pollution.

They have issued the following tips: l Try alternative travel - did you know that 55% of car journeys are less than five miles? Many of these journeys could easily be walked, or made by bike or public transport. By reducing the number of journeys made using a car, you could make a real impact on the air quality in your area. Sefton Council’s Active Travel programme promotes different ways you can get around the borough. Find out more at sefton.gov.uk/ActiveTravel l Share your journey - when two or more people share a car and travel together, it allows more people to benefit from the convenience of a car, shares travel

costs and ultimately reduces congestion and air pollution. There are car sharing websites available online or you could consider starting a car sharing club in your work place. l Become an eco-driver - small changes include reducing the use of air conditioning; avoiding unnecessary idling of your car engine; avoiding sharp acceleration and harsh braking; and shifting into a higher gear as soon as possible. l Change your engine - consider purchasing a lower emissions, hybrid or electric vehicle. These vehicles are less damaging to the environment than those with diesel engines or with a high fuel consumption. l Think about what you’re burning - burning garden waste and wood can have a negative impact on air quality and public health and also releases pollutants into the atmosphere. While solid fuels such as wood, wood chips and pellets are renewable fuels with lower carbon dioxide emissions than gas, coal or electricity, they still emit pollutants like nitrogen oxide and particulates.

Cllr Paulette Lapin, Sefton Council’s cabinet member for regulation and compliance said: “It’s easy for people to fall into habits like driving to the corner shop or leaving the engine on while waiting to pick up a friend, but it’s important to remember that these habits are having a detrimental effect on our environment.

“By making small changes to this behaviour and considering alternative ways of travel, the public can make a real difference to air quality across the borough.”

Under-fire rail chiefs agree to independent scrutiny of train chaos Report by Henry James

The T-Rex makes his way into one of the stores in Central 12

Dino shopper’s big entrance!

SHOPPERS had a roar-some time at a dinosaur-themed event at Central 12 Shopping Park.

Visitors enjoyed a prehistoric treat on Saturday, June 2 when the shopping complex was transformed into Southport’s very own Jurassic Park. As seen in The Natural History Museum, a life-size walking T-Rex roared its way around the shops alongside two baby dinosaurs.

Expert ‘handlers’ provided youngsters with fascinating facts about the prehistoric creatures as well as giving them the chance to snap some memorable photographs.

NETWORK Rail and Northern will commission an independent report and recommendations into the ‘preparations and processes’ leading up to the recent controversial timetable changes which have caused chaos for passengers.

Customer groups, transport and Northern stakeholders will all be invited to contribute to the report.

Since the introduction of the new timetable on Sunday, May 20, many train customers have faced delays, cancellations and overcrowding.

The timetable change, the biggest in decades, is designed to boost capacity with better trains and more services in the long-term. However more immediately it has not delivered an acceptable service for customers.

The multi-billion pound investment plan in the north, claim rail chiefs, will mean improved connections, shorter journey times, larger and better trains and more comfortable journeys. They also say there will be more frequent trains delivered through track and train upgrades as

part of the Great North Rail Project.

This is in addition, they maintain, to measures announced to tackle the current disruption.

Martin Frobisher, managing director for Network Rail’s London North Western route, said: “We recognise how tough it has been for customers, particularly since the May timetable change last weekend and we’re sorry for that. We are working hard with Northern to get service back to where it needs to be. We will work as one team to achieve this.

“The independent report will ensure lessons are learned and that there are no repeats of current problems as we prepare for the next major timetable change in December this year.”

David Brown, managing director of Northern, said: “We are doing everything we can to minimise cancellations and delays and keep our customers informed. It has been difficult for many of our customers and I am truly sorry for this.

“There is urgent work to do to fully understand what did and didn’t work on all aspects of planning and delivery of the new timetable.

“We are committed to working with Network Rail and Northern stakeholders to deliver the services our customers expect and deserve.”

Birkdale housing scheme underway

Expert ‘handlers’ providing kids with fascinating facts on dinosaurs

WORK is underway on the construction of ten houses close to Birkdale village.

The residential development, carried out by LPC Living and called Birkdale Place, is located off Westcliffe Road and once completed will see ten four-bedroom homes created.

Construction is expected to take ten months, with the new homes ready for new residents to move into in spring/summer 2019.

Simon Ashdown, Director at LPC Living said: “We are excited to have broken ground with this boutique development of high specification homes, in such an attractive and vibrant village.

It is rare to be able to deliver new homes so close to Birkdale village.”

David Brown, MD of Northern Rail

Meanwhile, Northern has announced a temporary change to its timetable to help reduce last minute cancellations.

From Monday (June 4) 6% of daily train services - 165 out of the normal 2,800 daily services - will be temporarily removed, until the end of July.

Northern bosses say the interim timetable will enable them to start to stabilise service levels over the next

few weeks and start to reduce the number of last-minute train cancellations.

In the short-term the train company will be running fewer services, but still more than they did before the May timetable change, said Mr Brown.

“We will then get back to a full timetable service by the end of July.”

The areas affected by the temporary timetable include reductions between Ormskirk and Preston and a small number between Blackburn and Southport via Manchester Victoria.

There are also reduced services on the Kirkby to Manchester Victoria line via Wigan.

Additionally, the closure of Liverpool Lime Street for two months while significant work takes place on resignalling and remodelling of the infrastructure (see story - page 28) will mean reduced services and will see three trains per hour run between Liverpool and Wigan/Manchester Victoria.

On a number of these routes there will be alternative rail services available, as well as other modes of transport. Where available, rail replacement buses will also operate on affected routes with details provided locally for customers.

Resort’s tidal lagoon hopes dashed From page 1 Mr Pugh said: “Hopes that Southport will some day get a Tidal Lagoon have been dashed as the government next week are expected to announce that they will not go ahead with the trailblazing project in Swansea.

“The promoters of the Swansea Tidal Lagoon project visited Southport for talks with local politicians about a future scheme which would have transformed the seafront.

“After Swansea got the go ahead, the scheme developers with city backing hoped to roll out other

projects. Swansea was to see the first Tidal Lagoon supported by the Welsh government and guaranteeing endless clean energy for decades. Britain as a whole being an island with strong variable tides was thought to be ideal for this technology.”

Mr Pugh claimed: “It's no secret that the Treasury have always had cold feet about this innovative technology exaggerating its cost to the consumer and taxpayer. There was strong support in parliament when I was there for tidal power and the hope that Britain should be a world leader in this field.

“Since 2015 though

investment in renewable energy is down 50%. The government are pushing forward with nuclear and fracking options. Now it looks grim for tidal options - whether its a

leisure lagoon at Southport or a barrage in the Mersey.

“A future vision for our region cannot count on this investment,” added the former MP.

MERSEYSIDE Police has launched its annual Summer Drink and Drug Drive campaign to remind motorists to be responsible behind the wheel.

During last year’s campaign Merseyside Police arrested 206 motorists in June and July, with 97 arrested for drink drive offences such as failing a breath test or refusing to give one, and 109 drivers tested positive for drugs such as cannabis or cocaine.

So far this year across Merseyside, from 1 January to the end of April 2018, a total of 529 people have been arrested for drug driving, with 423 arrested for drink driving.

Inspector Keith Kellett said: “As you can see from the figures, we now have more drug driving offences than drink driving offences. Also, if you have taken drugs then you drink alcohol it massively increases the effects on your body making it even more dangerous to get behind the wheel. I would urge anyone thinking of taking such risks to stop and think about the consequences.

“We will continue to stop drivers, be it in the morning, afternoon or evening and carry out breath tests. My message is simple – enjoy a drink but do not take the car. The risks are enormous and simply not worth it.”

Inspector Kellett added: “Alcohol can remain in your system for many hours and you may still be over the limit the next day. If you are driving the following day, leaving it 12 hours before getting behind the wheel is advisable.

“Anyone caught drink driving faces a twelve month driving ban and a fine of up to £5,000. There is also the risk of losing their job and the added pain to their families.

“I’d like to remind drivers that your ability to drive can be affected by even a modest amount of alcohol.

Even if you are below the legal limit, alcohol still affects your judgement, placing you, your passengers and other road users at risk.”

Hundreds take part in Race For Life

Lottery boost for townscape scheme Report by Tom Martin

Some of the hundreds of runners set off in Princes Park for last Sunday’s Race for Life.

HUNDREDS of runners took part in the annual Southport Race for Life at the weekend.

The event, which was held to raise money for the national charity Cancer Research UK, was held on Sunday, June 3. Most of the participants on the run wore pink, the colour of the charity.

Many of the runners had dedicated their per-

formance to loved ones who had battled the disease, or are undergoing treatment for it, with names written on many of their number cards.

The 5 kilometre course started off in Princes Park before heading out onto Marine Drive, taking the scenic route around the Marine Lake, down the promenade, passed Kings Gardens and back down to finish in Princes Park.

A MULTI-MILLION pound plan to breathe fresh life into Southport town centre has edged closer thanks to backing from the National Lottery.

The proposed Southport Townscape Heritage Project was given a huge boost after Sefton Council received initial support from Lottery chiefs which now allows the authority to apply for aid.

Development funding of £70,100 has been awarded by the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) to help the council, in partnership with Southport BID, progress their plans to apply for a full National Lottery grant of £1.6million at a later date, which it is hoped will contribute to a combined funding pot of around £2.4m.

The council managed to beat off fierce competition from 23 other submitted bids nationally to be one of only five areas within the UK to receive support.

The Southport Townscape Heritage Project has two main aims: l To enhance the quality and strength of the linkages between the town centre and the seafront so that the two become better integrated.

Police step up patrols after double shootings Flannels, on Tulketh Street

Armed robber crashed getaway car into wall A MAN who raided a town centre store used an imitation gun to threaten staff before crashing his getaway car into a wall ten miles away in Ince Blundell.

On Tuesday, May 29 at around 3pm, a man entered Flannels store, on Tulketh Street, and in front of terrified shoppers he used the weapon to threaten workers before he stole items and then fled the scene on foot.

He then got into a black Ford Fiesta Zetec and escaped down Wesley Street, but following initial enquiries police traced the car which was found smashed into the wall of a house in Lady Green Court, Victoria Road, Ince Blundell.

He tried to run away but was detained by officers.

Tadiwa Ian Chihota, of Clovelly Road, Anfield, has been charged with robbery, possession of an imitation firearm with intent to cause fear of violence, dangerous driving, handling stolen goods and possession of cannabis.

Police are still asking witnesses to come forward to help their investigation.

Detective Inspector Tony O'Brien said: “We believe that there were members of the public in the shop who may have witnessed the incident, and we are keen to speak to all of them.

“Additionally, if you saw a car matching this description being driven at speed in the areas, let us know and pass on any dashcam footage, which may be vital to the investigation.”

A suspected imitation firearm was recovered from the car along with suspected stolen property.

Anyone with information or footage is asked to contact Merseyside Police.

POLICE patrols have been stepped up in Southport and Bootle following shootings in both towns.

Merseyside Police and Sefton Council say they are working together to “reassure the communities” after shots were fired in two incidents last week.

The first incident happened in Church Road, Bootle, when residents contacted officers after hearing loud bangs and although there were no reported injuries or damage caused to any properties, police believe it was a shooting.

The second happened on Bispham Road, in Southport, just after midnight on Thursday, May 31 when a house was shot at and damage caused to the upstairs and downstairs windows.

Chief Inspector Jerry Harris said: “While no-one was injured during either incident, we recognise the impact that

incidents such as this have on our communities. I’d like to reassure residents in both Bootle and Southport that these are ongoing investigations and we are doing everything we can to find those person(s) responsible for these shootings and bring them to justice.

“Guns and those who use them have no place in our communities and residents should not be forced to live in fear.

Alongside our partners we are working hard to prevent these types of crime happening on our streets.

Appeal “I would also like to appeal for anyone who was in either area, around the times of the discharges, who may have seen anything to get in contact.

We’re also particularly keen to speak with anyone living in these areas who may have

CCTV or who may have dashcam footage, to get in contact.”

Cllr Trish Hardy, Sefton Council's Cabinet Member for Communities and Housing, said: “As a council we are totally committed to putting our residents first and creating safe communities right across the borough.

“Unfortunately, our strong and vibrant neighbourhoods have been disturbed by a number of anti-social behaviour incidents taking place in Sefton.

“This has got to stop and we would appeal to anyone with information to do the right thing and report it. Through partnership work with Merseyside Police we are working hard to bring those responsible to justice and ensure that our communities remain safe for our residents.”

Anyone who saw or heard anything which could assist either investigation, is asked to contact @MerPolCC,101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Lord Street

l Increase the levels of economic activity within the target area to reduce the number of vacant and underused properties.

The project will focus on historic properties between Lord Street and the Promenade in order to complement the previously awarded Heritage Lottery Funded restoration of Kings Gardens and the recent £2m award from the Coastal Community funds for the pier.

Essential conservation work will be carried out involving structural and external repair of historic buildings; the reinstatement of authentic architectural features and works to bring vacant floor space in historic buildings back into use.

The scheme will also bring community and educational benefits to the town and in conjunction with partners such as Southport Civic Society and education and training providers, will include a programme for promoting the heritage of the town.

It is hoped that this will bring about significant volunteer opportunities.

Cllr Daren Veidman, Sefton Council’s Cabinet Member Planning and Building Control, said: “Considering we were competing against other local authorities for this funding and how massively oversubscribed it is, the fact we are successful is a testament to the strength of our bid.

“This was a real team effort and involved a lot of hard work with our planning and conservation officers along with partners.”

Rob Uffendell, Chair of Southport Business Improvement District, said: “This is a great example of an effective and strong public and private sector partnership working together to attract external funding to Southport.

“BIDs aren’t just about delivering events and organising marketing and promotional campaigns.

There is increasing evidence that investors and funding bodies are becoming more attracted to areas where BIDs operate and that has to be good news for the future development of our town.”

Dukes Ward councillor, John Pugh said it is ‘the perfect carrot and stick arrangement’.

“The council has wide powers under Conservation laws to make owners of buildings keep them in good shape but often owners claim they haven’t the cash and drag their feet on restoration. Soon hopefully the council will be in a position to offer financial help to them.

Owners will have to find money to match the lottery funding but effectively it's restoration at half price. It saves the council taking legal action and saves shop and building owners having to fund the full cost of repairs.

It’s a win win - the perfect carrot and stick arrangement.”

Appeal to find missing dad who disappeared after family night out in Southport Report by Tom Martin

THE distraught relatives of a man who disappeared after a family meal in Southport, have appealed to people in the town to help find him.

They have turned to resort residents in a desperate bid to locate Carl Lake, 62, who is described as ‘vulnerable’. Carl was last seen in the resort on Tuesday, May 15.

Merseyside Police have described the dad’s disappearance as a ‘complete mystery’.

Officers say neither his mobile phone or bank account has been used.

Carl's daughter Louise Gilbert, brother Brian Lake and niece Tara Lake joined Merseyside Police at their headquarters in Liverpool city centre to make an appeal on Thursday, May 31.

Tara said: “We are growing deeply concerned about Carl and his whereabouts and we just

Carl Lake

want to bring him home safe.

“We have done extensive searches in the Bootle, Southport and Liverpool areas. He is well known in the Bootle area and the police have done a lot to help find him.”

Carl had been on a family meal at the Hickory Smokehouse but he seemed unwell and his relatives took him to hospital to get checked-out.

HUGE SELECTION OF HANGING BASKETS STILL AVAILABLE

After getting the all-clear from doctors, he stayed overnight in the Scarisbrick Hotel and the following day spoke to daughter Louise about plans to return home to Bootle, but no one has heard from him since.

DI Jackie Guiness: “Our investigations have included extensive CCTV enquiries, public transport enquiries and pubs and shops around the Southport area have been searched. Local patrols are making various enquiries with homeless shelters and distributing photos of Carl.

“Merseyside Police on behalf of the family are appealing for information on sightings of Carl to get in touch with us. The family are deeply worried and have done a lot of their own work trying to find him.

“He's a brother, a dad, he has five grandchildren and they are all deeply concerned.”

If anyone has spotted Carl, contact Merseyside Police by calling 101 or the Missing People charity on 116 000.

Council wants more support to help it tackle domestic abuse Report by Tom Martin SEFTON Council is calling for more support to tackle domestic abuse for it to be addressed at every stage from prevention through to rehabilitation, in its response to the government’s latest consultation.

The consultation has been seeking views nationally on both legislative proposals for a landmark draft Domestic Abuse Bill and a package of practical action to tackle domestic violence.

Cllr Trish Hardy, Cabinet Member for Communities, said: “Domestic abuse is an absolute priority for the Council and our partners and we have embraced the opportunity to feed into such important proposals for a Domestic Abuse Bill.

“As a society, we need to challenge the acceptability of any sort of abuse.

Cllr Trish Hardy... “Domestic abuse is an absolute priority for the Council”

“We need to ensure that domestic abuse is at the top of everyone’s agenda, break the silence and encourage people to talk more openly about the issue, particularly young people, and reduce the stigma for children and young people

to access services. In Sefton, we already have in place a robust strategy for tackling domestic and sexual abuse. It is based around partners working effectively together, the provision of educational and awareness raising programmes, providing vital victim support and perpetrator programmes, and protection through the criminal justice system.

“Any proposed measures to tackle domestic abuse are welcome but it will take more than new laws to help victims and survivors rebuild their lives, we need more support and to do as much as we can to raise awareness, support victims, and ensure perpetrators are stopped.

“We are determined to ensure victims feel safe and supported and will continue to work closely with our partners to address the needs of survivors and victims, and ensure perpetrators are brought to justice.”

Appeal to find family of First World War hero

Arthur Evans was awarded the Victoria Cross for his act of incredible bravery Report by Tom Martin AN appeal has been launched by the borough’s Mayor to help find the family of a First World War hero from Sefton.

Arthur Evans received the Victoria Cross after an incredible act of single-handed bravery under heavy German fire in France, 1918.

On the day in question Lance Sargeant Evans’ patrol spotted an enemy machine-gun on the east bank of a river.

The river being very deep at that point, Lance Sergeant Evans volunteered to swim across and having done so crawled up behind the machine-gun post, where he shot the sentry and another man and made four more surrender.

After a crossing had been found and one officer and one man joined him, machine-gun and rifle fire was opened on them.

The officer was wounded and Sergeant Evans covered his withdrawal under very heavy fire.

Little is known about Arthur’s life away from the battlefield and he sadly passed away in Sydney, Australia at the age of 45.

He is one of five local Victoria Cross recipients who are being honoured by Sefton Council and the Department for Communities and Local Government with special commemorative stones at civic memorials across the borough.

Ahead of Arthur’s stone being laid on August 31, the Mayor of Sefton is urging any members of his family to come forward to be a part of the service.

Cllr Dave Robinson, Mayor of Sefton Council, said: “We know Arthur was born and raised in

LETTERS to the Editor Support for local newspapers from HRH The Prince of Wales Following the recent Local Newspaper Week, HRH The Prince of Wales has written a letter in support of local journalism and local newspapers.

The Prince of Wales writes: “In a rapidly changing media landscape, the advent of digital media has transformed the way we consume our news.

Despite this rapid change, I am very encouraged by the evidence that suggests that local journalism is adapting well and remains in robust

health with audience numbers remaining strong across print and digital platforms.

“Indeed I am told by the News Media Association that, according to a recent survey, local newspapers remain the most trusted source of community news and information, ahead of all other media.

The importance of trusted media sources cannot be under-estimated in the era of so called 'fake news' and misinformation.”

We’re shooting ourselves in the foot over fracking One government minister recently announced a streamlining of the planning process to speed up delivery of schemes to harvest shale gas by Fracking, while another minister warned us that the UK faces a severe water shortage in years to come.

As each fracking well uses about five million gallons of clean water, and the government plans to allow many thousands of these wells to be built in the UK, it hardly seems joined-up thinking.

As I understand it, about 40% of the water used in fracking fluid flows back to the surface after absorbing the chemical elements of the shale, and by then it is toxic, carcinogenic, flammable and slightly radioactive.

It has to be sent for specialist treatment and safe disposal and is wasted, as there is no way it can be cleaned sufficiently to be reused in domestic or business water supply.

The other 60% of the water used in fracking is claimed to remain deep underground - again wasted. There is a real fear though that the fluid could migrate through the many faultlines in the UK’s geology up into the rock holding groundwater.

As this could potentially contaminate the source of about a third of the water supply in the UK it seems to me a bit like shooting yourself in the foot.

PICTURE of the week

Britain is booming despite governor’s dire predictions of doom and gloom OH look Mark Carney, (Governor of Bank of England) the latest official figures show Britain is booming economically. Fancy that - and after your dire predictions of financial gloom and doom.

Fortunately most of the public - and more importantly businesses - did not believe you in the first place and figures from the Office for National Statistics show government borrowing for last year was about half that predicted in the event of a Leave vote.

It is actually at a 16 year low and I have no doubt that after we actually leave the EU and the i’s have been dotted and the t’s crossed our economy will continue to boom.

Meanwhile I hope the news has fortified Theresa May in her resolve to restore our freedom and that her mantra ‘Brexit means Brexit’ becomes a reality and not a sound bite.

Thank you, Champion, for a wonderful night at the theatre Thank you for my competition win to see An Officer and A Gentleman at the Empire theatre.

It was truly first class.

Also thank you to

Henry James for the lovely telephone call I received informing me of the win.

How should farmer deal with yobs who chased his sheep?

With reference to the Champion report regarding the yobs who chased sheep across a field.

Unfortunately we hear of cases where dogs worry and sometimes kill sheep but it is up to the owner to keep their dog under control.

Otherwise they risk their dog being shot by the farmer - humans, however, who indulge in this dreadful behaviour, do and should, know better, so how would the farmer deal with them?

Local song and dance performers get in on the action as Southport’s Hesketh Park becomes one of the locations for a new feature length musical Perfectly Frank which is being filmed over the coming months around town. Picture by Martyn Snape.

No need for ‘widespread disrespect of youth’ I read the letter by Phil Taylor in the Champion outlining his views on the concept of, it seems, Universal Basic Income and the ‘breaking of the social contract’ between the elderly and the youth, which he views as a farce.

I do not wish to debate his views on UBI, as I myself do not know where I stand on it, finding myself torn between admiration and caution for the idea. But I do wish to respond to Mr Taylor’s views on the youth at large.

Mr Taylor, like it seems a lot of people from older generations, seems to be of the staunch opinion that because in his day people did not ‘go on foreign holidays’ and

drove ‘beat-up cars’ and ‘made do’, that all future generations should suffer the same vices.

Indeed, he seems to berate the younger generations as ‘entitled’, lazy and melodramatic, living the high-life while moaning about a broken social contract (as if his generation did not have a responsibility to make sure the world is a better place for the new generations, something they seem to have failed spectacularly in doing so in recent years).

Aside from the obvious irony that every previous generation has had immense struggles (would he suppose that he is an entitled, lazy, melodramatic individual compared

with the blighted lives of the Victorian poor)? there is the fundamental misunderstanding of the life of the youth, which is a long shot from the luxurious foreign holidays Mr Taylor imagines.

No. Young people today work through the toughest educational curriculum to date, pay somewhere in the region of £40,000 to attend university (something many previous generations could do for free), and then spend the rest of their lives working until they're possibly well beyond Mr Taylor's age for stagnating wages while never being able to afford their own home.

Is this the result of a lazy millennial generation who has never

known true struggle? Or perhaps, is it:- the result of a broken society crafted by former generations?

Former generations who, perhaps, could be said to have broken a promise to the people of the future to keep the system working? A promise one might define as an invisible social contract?

There is no need for this apparently widespread disrespect for the youth. Rather than attacking the young for daring to ask for more, perhaps people like Mr Taylor should try and solve the situation, instead of rejecting our concerns entirely.

Lack of airport rail service will turn us into a ghost town We bought train return tickets on May 19 for our journey to Manchester Airport the following day in order to start our holiday in Spain.

We’ve used this train many times in the past when flying from Manchester and have always told people how convenient it is.

However, on our return to the UK late on May 26 we went to get our train back home from the airport, only to be told there wasn’t one. The station was deserted except for one lady in the information office who told us there is no way we could get back to Southport that night. She said we could sleep on the platform on a bench and she could get us out early Sunday morning but as I am 81 and my companion is 72 , we gave that idea a miss!

So, we went to the taxi rank and were told it would cost us £180 to get home but because we were so upset he charged £100.

Is Southport going to become a ghost town now because of rail services not running any more?

LETTERS to the Editor

Clare House, 166 Lord Street, Southport PR9 0QA tel 01704 392 400 email editor@champnews.com

Backing for campaign to ban ‘Walk Your Way’ challenge will help dangerous drivers for life Lynne Farrimond is right to demand a lifetime driving ban for drink-and drugdrivers who kill (last week’s Champion front page report).

I have long thought the penalties for driving under the influence are too lenient for repeat offenders.

Most first offenders when caught will never do it again; in such cases the present law works.

Others never learn, so if they are caught a second time, they should be banned for life.

If caught driving a third time when banned, whether or not drink or drugs are involved, it should be a spell in prison.

I am not a ‘lock ’em up and throw away the key’ person, but I genuinely can’t see any other way of

dealing with the utter contempt such people show for both the legal system and, more importantly, the safety of others.

Alcohol increases your confidence, so you might feel fit to drive, but at the same time it diminishes your judgement; this means you are a worse driver, but your alcoholically-induced confidence says you're not.

I am both an experienced driver and a regular drinker, but not a drink-driver; I go out to pubs and bars several times a week using legs, buses, trains and taxis.

There really is no excuse.

I’ve signed Lynne's petition at: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/215721.

Neville Grundy, Southport

Protect young birds by keeping a close watch on your pet I work within WWT and I have many concerns regarding not only the issues at Botanical Gardens, but also the Marine Lake in Southport.

It’s my duty at Marine Lake to daily keep a count of the nesting birds and their young and over a period of 48 hours the numbers dropped drastically.

We have found a few dead caused by animal attacks, so could the Champion kindly bring it to people’s attention to keep all pets under watch to prevent further loss of birds which are of great significance as it’s now time for hatchlings.

Concerned, Southport

stroke survivors

I’m inviting your readers to get their walking boots or trainers on for the Stroke Association and sign up to the summer marathon challenge, Walk Your Way. In April 2013 a year after my own stroke I took on the London Marathon. It was a huge step in my recovery and helped to draw attention to this devastating condition while raising money for a wonderful charity that I’m proud to be an ambassador for.

Walk Your Way takes place between June 17 and July 1 to raise money to support stroke survivors and their families. You can walk the whole 26.2 miles in one go, do it over a few days or spread the distance over the two-week period and get sponsored to do it. It’s your chance to take on the distance of a marathon on your own terms.

For many stroke survivors, like me, getting your life back means overcoming life-changing disabilities and emotional difficulties. By taking part in Walk Your Way you’ll be helping to reduce your own risk of stroke, and the vital funds you’ll raise will help the charity to support more stroke survivors to regain their independence.

Sign up to Walk Your Way now: stroke.org.uk/WalkYourWay

Falklands hero Simon backs bravery awards

Hesketh Park in full bloom!

THIS glorious photograph was taken in Hesketh Park by Champion reader Frances Morris, on a recent beautiful late Spring day and shows the popular park in all its glory.

SEFTON residents are being urged to nominate unsung heroes for a national award.

Falklands war veteran Simon Weston, who was named the Nation’s Favourite Hero in 2014, has joined forces with global hearing specialist Amplifon for the third annual Amplifon Awards for Brave Britons, which will celebrate truly remarkable people who are an example to the nation.

Amplifon, which has a store in Southport, set up the awards in honour of Amplifon’s

Did you know that you can get your hearing tested easily?

And it’s absolutely free at Specsavers!

Our ears are amazing things – helping us to hear everything from birdsong to a glorious brass band in full swing. But hearing can often be taken for granted and many of us don’t realise that over time our hearing can deteriorate, so things don’t sound as sharp and clear as they used to.

Hearing loss is surprisingly common, with current estimates suggesting that it affects around 1 in 6 in the UK*.

Of course, the loss usually happens quite gradually and a lot of the time you don’t notice it yourself. Often it is friends or family who realise you might be having issues before you yourself become aware of it.

So what are the tell-tale signs that we should look out for? The usual ones are things like having the TV turned up so loud that others find it uncomfortable and keep asking you to turn it down, or you having to ask people to repeat themselves frequently and thinking that people are mumbling a lot, particularly in noisy pubs or restaurants.

Specsavers recommend that anyone over the age of 55 should have regular

hearing checks. It is really easy and completely free from Specsavers Audiologists. You can even do it at home in the first instance using the Specsavers free hearing check app or on-line hearing test. If it turns out after your in-store hearing test that you have some hearing loss Specsavers will be able to help and advise you.

There’s often a misconception around the size of hearing aids but the reality is that they come in a whole range of fitting styles that can be very small and discreet. It’s incredible actually, considering the level of technology and features packed into such tiny devices. Specsavers Audiologists have all the latest hearing aids including ones that are rechargable, made from titanium and essentially invisible to others. They can even be controlled through a smartphone.

To find out more or to book a free hearing test, call 0800 023 2920 or visit specsavers.co.uk/hearing. *Action on Hearing Loss

founder, Second World War hero Major Charles Holland.

Emma Haouche, audiologist at Amplifon’s Lord Street branch said: “The awards celebrate the real unsung heroes in our local communities – those truly remarkable people who are an inspiration to us all.”

The winners will be unveiled by Simon Weston at the Army and Navy Club in London on October 16. The closing date for applications is August 3. These can be submitted at amplifon.com/web/uk/awards

Emma Semwayo, captain of the Fletchers Solicitors race team, said: “Since we opened our Manchester office last year, we have been raising money for Big Change to help the homeless population of Manchester.

“This is an issue close to all our hearts, as each day our team see the plight of the homeless in Manchester and we often feel powerless to help.

“The charity’s philosophy fits in perfectly with our own values, and its work makes a real difference to many people’s lives.”

Stem cell donor drive!

THE Stem Cell Scousers recruited new donors at a special drive in Formby.

Sefton Central MP Bill Esterson supported the group, led by Kevin Dunne, at the event at Tesco.

With a simple mouth swab, volunteers’ details are collected and stored on the register which can then potentially be matched with patients worldwide who would benefit from a stem cell transplant.

MP Bill Esterson who has joined the register, said: “Registering is simple and not painful. Kevin is an inspiration in setting up these donor drives purely voluntarily. He has donated stem cells himself to his brother and his wife has also benefited from the treatment.”

Kevin now wants more volunteers to join the group to enable him to

Locals enjoying their visit to the garden centre

Success blooms at New Directions GREEN-FINGERED locals who have a range of support needs have been getting into the summer spirit at a Southport garden centre.

Staff and service users at New Leaf on Rotten Row, which is run by adult social care provider New Directions, are celebrating a bumper seasonal crop of ‘blooming lovely’ plants and flowers.

According to Barbara Gannon of the New Leaf team, everyone at the Park Lodge greenhouses site is pleased with the results of their efforts this spring, despite the prolonged winter which means that flowering has been delayed by several weeks this year. As a result, the garden centre is now offering a wide

Report by Tom Martin selection of bedding plants, hanging baskets, filled containers and shrubs which have been created with the help of service users who have support requirements due to age, disability or a mental health diagnosis.

More than 30 New Directions clients from across Sefton regularly attend sessions at New Leaf, where they learn a number of useful life and work skills.

These range from planting and designing hanging baskets in the greenhouses, to retail and cus-

tomer service skills in the garden centre shop.

And with the support of tutors from St Helens College, they can also work towards a City & Guilds qualification in horticulture.

Barbara said: “Despite the bad weather earlier this year, and snow as late as April, we’re all very pleased with how our planting has turned out, even though it is later than normal.

“We’re looking forward to welcoming customers old and new over the next few weeks, all of whom have the satisfaction of knowing that any money they spend at New Leaf will be ploughed back into providing more resources and opportunities for our service users.”

LES DENNIS and Andrew Schofield are teaming up in a brand new comedy play this summer at Liverpool’s Royal Court.

And the Champion is able to offer one reader the chance to not only see the new production with family or friends, but also enjoy the Royal Court’s unique offering of dinner for four in the stalls before the show starts!

The Miracle Of Great Homer Street by Gerry Linford was a runner up in last year’s Hope Playwriting Prize, for which two of the judging panel were Les Dennis and Royal Court Executive Producer Kevin Fearon.

The comedy is based in Liverpool in 1978. The World Cup is on and Father Aherne, who likes a bet, is on a winning streak. It’s as if he’s getting help from above. His luck doesn’t stretch to accommodation as he finds himself without a roof over his head. His prayers are quickly answered when Marion, one of his parishioners, is delighted to offer him her spare room. Terry, her non-believing husband, is not so keen.

Over the summer, the two men bond when the beautiful game seems to be going in their favour but will they triumph when the final whistle blows?

Gerry Linford’s brand new comedy about family, friendship and having a flutter proves it’s really ‘the odds’ that move in mysterious ways!

Les Dennis and Andrew Schofield are joined by Jake Abraham, Katie King, Cath Rice and Bobby Schofield in the cast. The show is directed by Royal Court regular Bob Eaton.

Bobby Schofield has recently finished a run in the TV show Knightfall and appeared in the film Black Sea alongside Jude Law. This will be the first time that he has appeared alongside his father, Andrew, in a stage show. Les Dennis said: “The characters are

Les Dennis stars in The Miracle of Great Homer Street at the Royal Court

so well written, the story is one that will immediately appeal and the sense of period will strike a chord with Royal Court regulars. Its themes of football, faith and scouse culture in the 70s are at the core of this comedy with a heart.”

The Miracle Of Great Homer Street runs from June 1 to June 30, 2018. Tickets and information are available from www.royalcourtliverpool.com or on 0151 709 4321.

To win this brilliant prize, simply answer the following question and send your answer on a postcard to Royal Court Competition, The Champion, 166 Lord Street, Southport, PR9 0QA.

Q: In what year is The Miracle of Great Homer Street set?

Entries must reach us by Wednesday, June 13, 2018. The winner will be the sender of the first correct entry drawn. Usual Champion rules apply.

Steve Bousfield, instructor for the cadets said: “We would like to thank all of the drivers who brought their cars to Southport Fire and Ambulance Station on May 26 for our charity car-wash. We raised £220 which will be split between the cadets and The Firefighters Charity.

“We are also very grateful to the many passers-by who donated to our collection. We would especially like to thank the kind gentleman in the brown car who not only gave us a donation for washing his car but also bought us ice creams!”

Report by Tom Martin A PROJECT which works with prisoners to reduce the risk of them re-offending is looking for volunteer mentors.

Merseyside Offender Mentoring Project, which is managed by Sefton CVS, is seeking people who can provide mentoring and befriending support to ex-offenders in the community.

The project has been successfully supporting offenders for seven years, and was awarded the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service in 2015 for its outstanding results.

According to recent figures, just 15% of prisoners involved with the project return to prison, compared with a national average of 44% for all offenders.

New volunteers will be provided with appropriate training, and will have access to ongoing advice and support from members of the Merseyside Offender Mentoring Project team.

Once they are matched with a volunteer, their role is to offer advice on a range of key issues including employment, housing, finance, education, training, health and wellbeing.

The aim is to help offenders overcome any barriers they face, and to resettle back in the community in a positive way, developing new skills and moving on with their lives.

One of the project’s newly recruited volunteers said: “Becoming a volunteer with Merseyside Offender Mentor Project makes you realise an ex-offender is just a normal person who needs a bit of extra support.”

The project works in close partnership with HMP Liverpool, in Walton, and HMP Risley, and recently extended its services to HMP Kirkham.

Positive Andy Laidlaw, Head of Reducing Reoffending at HMP Liverpool, said: “The Merseyside Offender Mentoring Project is considered to be an integral part of the prison and our Reducing Reoffending Strategy.

“The positive effect their team of volunteer mentors has had on making Merseyside safer has been nothing short of outstanding, and this can be supported by statistics. They are reducing reoffending, reducing victims of crime and making the community safer.”

For information about becoming a volunteer mentor contact Merseyside Offender Mentoring Project on 0151 920 0726 or email merseyside.mentoring@seftoncvs.org.uk

St Joseph’s in plea for more volunteers My Tina’s new ‘trick’ disproves the old adage YOU can’t teach an old dog new tricks, or so it’s said. A load of old tut of course, as any dog lover will tell you.

Actually, it’s probably more true that you might well find it more difficult to teach an old(er) man or woman tricks, as I found during the recent spell of hot weather.

Before I explain, I ought to tell you that I only realised this week that my collie, Tina, is nine years old and even ‘little’ Cinders is six. Happily (and I’m touching wood as I tap this out) Tina is still fit, strong and nimble and still the boss when it comes to the occasional disagreement in the canine part of the family group, while I could readily believe that Cinders is about six months!

But back to the question of new tricks.

Over all of her nine years, Tina has always slept in my bedroom - either in her dedicated basket, on the spare bed, by the door or beside my bed, as the mood takes her.

I must confess that I gave up nightly prayers for myself some time ago, but because I do have a belief in God despite this and I have always said a little prayer for Tina (just in case). And over what I now know to be the last nine years, Tina has always done the same for evening prayers. As soon as I switch off the light she comes and stands by my bed with her head adjacent to mine. Then she removes to whichever sleeping spot she has designated, often moving through most if not all of them in the course of the night.

But what she never, ever does is leave my room, even if I pop out to the bathroom; or if she does is straight back in when I return. Until this week.

All the usual rituals had been performed and all was normal. Until I did indeed pop off down the landing and Tina ‘escaped’ and was to be found lying beside the front door and most unwilling to return to her post.

I must confess, in all seriousness, that I was more than a little upset by this. For the first time in nine years I had apparently been ‘abandoned.’ So for the following night or two I made sure she stayed in her rightful place, with me.

Until the penny dropped! Hot air rises, one of the few facts I remember from my now far-off physics lessons. The simple fact was that it was a good deal hotter in my bedroom than it was in the comparative cool draughtiness of the front door. And unlike me, Tina can’t take off her hair coat at bedtime.

So I tried an experiment. Instead of shutting my bedroom door, I left it ajar. And guess what? Good old Tina certainly padded off to the cooler, lower air but came back several times to check up on me with her black nose or rather too sharp claws.

Tina also has another upstairs trick - or habit if you will - which concerns the bathroom. She has always disliked slippery floors - like polished wood or simple lino - yet from the off has doggedly accompanied me when I take a bath. If I tell her at evening prayers that it’s bath time in the morning, as soon as I get out of bed she’s off to the bathroom, scurrying into her place behind the door, where she remains stolidly until I am bathed, dressed and ready to face the world. Then she scoots round the door and precedes me downstairs and out into the back garden.

Incidentally, while all this is going on, Cinders is still quietly in her own ‘bedroom’ - my late brother George’s room. I did experiment with letting her into the bathroom, but this resulted in an Andrex puppy-style of toilet paper explosion and neatly laid-out clothing all over the floor, since when I have adopted a ‘let sleeping Cinders lie’ policy.

One new trick I wish I could instill in them both though is shutting doors behind them - but no luck so far!

One of the eight St Joseph’s Hospice charity shops across Merseyside

ST JOSEPH’S Hospice has made an urgent appeal for more volunteers to help run its eight charity shops across Merseyside.

The Thornton-based hospice has charity stores across Sefton and Liverpool and staff are appealing for more volunteers and also furniture donations to keep them going.

On Sunday, June 10 from 2 to 4pm anyone interested in volunteering in one of its shops can go along and find out what’s involved and speak to other volunteers about their experiences.

The hospice needs tables and

chairs, beds, sofas and cupboards as well as lamps and soft furnishings as long as they are of good quality and any soft furnishings meet the British Standards Specification for Fire Safety.

The hospice even offers a free furniture collection and house clearance service for good quality items which they can sell in their shops.

Jo Rigby-Clare, hospice retail manager, said: “We urgently need more volunteers in all our hospice shops and we need your furniture too so, if you can help, please get in touch.

“Supporting our shops is a really good way of helping us to raise money and our volunteers get so much out of volunteering. It’s a great way of getting out of the house, making new friends and having fun.

“Please come along to our shop volunteer open day on June 10 or pick up the phone to our furniture shop and let them know if you have any goods to donate. We really appreciate your help.”

If you’d like more information about volunteering or would like to come to the open day, call Siobhan Clinton on 0151 932 6046.

LIVERPOOL'S Lime Street railway station closed last weekend and will remain unavailable for commuters until July 29 as it undergoes a major refurbishment.

The station closed last Saturday (June 2) for eight weeks as Network Rail carries out its biggest upgrade since the 19th Century so it can cater for more passengers during peak times.

The work, which began in phases in 2017, is a key part of the £340million railway investment in the Liverpool City Region, which sits within the Great North Rail Project.

During the works engineers will be remodelling station platforms, increasing them in number and in length.

Overhead line equipment will also be installed/renewed to power electric trains and changes will be made to provide extra services.

Residents left singing for joy after raising enough money to buy new music system!

Report by Danielle Thompson A SUPPPORT hub for adults with support needs have been singing for joy after raising funds for a new music system – with a fun fancy dress event!

There was an excellent turnout for the event at the North Hub, on Mornington Road, which is run by adult social care provider, New Directions.

Staff and service users warmed to the theme of 60s, 70s and 80s fashions with a variety of eye-catching costumes on view, with prizes being awarded to the best-dressed!

Organiser Jackie Ross said: “Our aim was to make this a really fun event and it proved to be really successful - I’ve received lots of positive feedback from people who attended.

“I’d like to thank all the local businesses who donated prizes for their generosity. Their response to our requests was excellent and really helped our fundraising efforts.

Family walk for charity A PRAM and family walk is being held from Southport Pier to Birkdale Station on Friday, June 22 to raise funds for a national charity.

The three mile walk will start at 1pm near Funland and all funds raised will be given to the UK Sepsis Trust.

Walkers, who are being

urged to wear the charity's colours of red and orange, can then head onto The Crown on Liverpool Road for a well-earned drink.

ENTERTAINMENT Mawdesley Village Hall set to host ‘A Bunch of Amateurs’ MAWDESLEY Amateur Dramatics Society will be performing their annual play, which this year will be A Bunch of Amateurs written

by Ian Hislop and Nick Newman.

The play centres on washed-up Hollywood star Jefferson Steele (played by Finlay Robertson) who is flown to England to play the title role in King Lear at Stratford believing he will be appearing onstage at the legendary Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare.

Instead he finds he has been signed on with the Stratford Players in the Suffolk village of Stratford St John who are trying to save their theatre from developers.

He goes to England with his career deteriorating and having problems with his daughter, an

aspiring actress herself.

The local villagers, a motley crew, are naturally delighted to have such a famous film star acting with them.

Steele's monstrous ego, vanity and insecurity are tested to the limit by the enthusiastic amdram thespians as he considers himself too big for this lowly setting.

As acting worlds collide and Steele's career implodes, he discovers some truths about himself – along with his inner Lear!

A Bunch of Amateurs will be performed at Mawdesley Village Hall on Thursday, June 14, Friday, June 15 and Saturday, June 16 at 7.30pm.

Tickets are £8 each available online at www.madsociety.co.uk or at the Spar in Mawdesley.

For more information, email mawdesleydrama@yahoo.co.uk.

Victor Michael on stage with The Sopranos. Picture by Ellen Campbell

A nostalgic Mario Lanza Story sends the audience back down memory lane!

Review by Ron Ellis

The Mario Lanza Story Epstein Theatre, Liverpool CHEERFUL compere, Keith McCarthy, opened the show with Al Martino’s ‘Here in My Heart’, which became the first number one in the newly created hit parade in May 1952.

Popular local entertainer, Martin Gregory-Lambert, opened the show with a selection of numbers from the

musicals, demonstrating a warm personality and sense of humour appreciated by many of his fans in the audience.

To close his act, Martin brought on stage his 12 year old daughter, Faye, with whom he reached the finals of Britain’s Got Talent. They duetted in a moving version of ‘Somewhere’ from West Side Story, Faye showing a maturity beyond her years that augurs well for a highly successful singing career ahead of her.

Closing the first half was self-described wedding singer,

James Franklin, well-known on the circuit, who had a nice turn in humour and sang a wide range of numbers from the 1950s and 60s including Solomon Burke’s ‘Cry to Me’ and The Shirelles’ ‘Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow’ plus a great version of Cab Calloway ’s 1931 hit, ‘Minnie the Moocher ’.

After the interval, Victor Michael took to the stage accompanied by a 7-piece orchestra and two glamorous sopranos, Lisa Davies and Hayley Bowen and proceeded to recount the life story of Mario Lanza, singing some of

Simply Sinatra concert to honour Ol’ Blue Eyes SIMPLY Sinatra is a concert of music and songs made famous by arguably the world’s most loved singer – and it will be coming to Liverpool Philharmonic Hall.

Frank Sinatra’s initial breakthrough came via a big-band apprenticeship with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra.

Allowing him to develop his own inimitable style, he embarked on a solo career becoming the first teen idol of the popular music era.

His phrasing and interpretation were unrivalled, turning lyrics into something personal and meaningful to the listener and influencing a generation of singers.

Over the decades, ‘The Voice’, as he was affectionately known, established a huge fan base through sold out shows and sales of more than 150 million records worldwide.

The first recipient of a Grammy Lifetime Achievement award, he stands out front as the greatest song stylist of the 20th century.

Alongside his music success, Sinatra had a prolific acting career of over 50 movies which included his Oscar-winning role in ‘From Here to Eternity’.

In Simply Sinatra, Matt Ford, widely regarded as the finest big band singer in the UK and West End star and actress Vic-

toria Hamilton-Barritt are joined by a fabulous 27-piece show band and ballroom champions Chris and Emma Burrell for a performance of music, song and dance celebrating Ol’ Blue Eyes himself.

In a special tribute to the legendary entertainer, the programme will include signature Sinatra songs such as: ‘Come Fly with Me’; ‘Somethin’ Stupid’, ‘The Lady Is A Tramp; ‘I’ve Got You Under My Skin’; ‘Fly Me to The Moon’; ‘Luck Be A Lady Tonight’; ‘Mack The Knife’; ‘Moon River ’; ‘New York, New York’, and ‘My Way ’.

the songs from operas and musicals that had made the Italian a world-wide star, including ‘Be My Love’, his first hit in 1950, and a rousing version of ‘The Drinking Song’ from ‘The Student Prince’, which had the everyone in the theatre singing along lustily.

At the end of the show, which was in aid of the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation, the audience rose from their seats as one to applaud a great afternoon’s entertainment.

Nostalgia at its best.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

AUSTIN MELVIN (MEV) Neil Austin and family would like to thank all of Mevâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family and friends for all their wonderful kind words, condolences, donations and for attending the funeral service at Halsall Church / reception at The Hop Vine on 29th May. Although Mev was a private man and did not like fuss, he would have greatly appreciated your kindness - which is a true testiment of the honest person he was. Mev is now at rest with his sadly missed Wife Marion. The family would like to also thank Southport & Formby General District Hospital who cared for Mev in his final days and the Reverend Paul Robinson for a beautiful service memories from which they will treasure.

Thanks are also expressed to Hunters of Ormskirk for the heartfelt compassion shown throughout this difficult time.

Many, many thanks to you all.

IT’S NOT every weekend that you get asked to help put a car into production. Don’t worry, nobody from Vauxhall has rung me up, asking whether - as that bloke from the Champion – if I have any tips on what I would like to see in the next-generation Adam.

Nor am I loaded enough to be one of those lucky souls invited to, er, help Ferrari develop its next model by paying for a one-off trackday special that you’re only allowed to access three times a year.

But some Estonians have asked me to bung them a couple of quid to help get their retrostyled electric three-wheeler off the ground.

They obviously haven’t approached Deborah Meaden and Duncan Bannatyne yet, but as a car nut I’ll save them the trouble.

Nobe – an eco-friendly start-up specialising in microcars, not a mis-spelling of Leicesterbased supercar maker Noble – is using a crowdfunding site to attempt to secure £800,000 for the new car.

Apparently the thing that’ll excite Greenpeace types is that it’s zero emissions and easily recyclable, but the bit that grabs me is that it looks good.

The front end looks like it could’ve come from a shrunken Borgward Isabella (you’ll have to Google it), the way the rear end tapers to a set of full-width lights is lovely, and the delicate chrome details between the two are distinctly 1960s.

Oh, and there’s a very faint whiff of Jensen Interceptor about that rear glass treatment.

It also has room for three, will sit at 70mph happily enough and promises a two-hour charging time, but I’m not exactly going to be taking out a second mortgage or hounding my bank manager any time soon.

There have been plenty of miniscule motors over the years, from Messerschmitts and Minis to modern day Smart cars, and none of their creators needed to use a crowdfunding site.

The asking figure of £800k also sounds a bit far-fetched, when you consider that Aston Martin apparently had to raise £200 million to help develop their new DBX off-roader, likely to be called the Varekai when it makes production.

All this coming from someone who’s owned two Minis, once bought a Renault 5 for £100 for a laugh and is currently restoring a Reliant Robin.

I completely get the point of cars that offer up motoring fun in pint-sized packages, but if the Nobe’s that clever an idea I’d expect Dragons’ Den types would be queuing up to invest in it.

Best of luck, chaps, but I’m out.

Southport’s Jason Gilchrist celebrates a goal last season.

Port players on full time contracts now Report by Ron Ellis ALL players at Southport are now full time on 52 week contracts, supporters were told at the club’s annual general meeting on Monday.

The players train for three mornings a week from 9am to 2pm whereas previously it was for two evenings a week.

The meeting was told that the rest of the players’ time is taken up by rehabilitation, exercise, swimming, yoga and medicals.

The players’ each have their body weight checked every seven to 14 days.

They all have personal targets and diets and some have personal trainers.

Currently, the players under specific guidance are three weeks ahead of target.

Supporters were also told that the manager is hoping to make two more signings later this week or next week.

Officials said three more Football League players, “whose names will excite supporters,” have already agreed to join but their

names cannot be released until August 1 due to their current circumstances and contracts.

Fans were told that club’s ideal situation is to have a squad of 19-21 players with loans being used only if players have long term injuries, suspensions or the club cannot strengthen mid-season with permanent targets.

As far as season tickets go, 232 season tickets have been sold already with there being 500.

Free season tickets will be given to every under 11 year old school child in the town.

Supporters were also told that a further £40,000 has had to be spent renovating the new stand when it was discovered there was no fireproofing on the structure.

Club bosses are also seeking permission to allow alcohol sales inside the ground.

The Grandstand Club, which is currently being refurbished, will be available for hire seven days a week.

The new facility will open up fully to house up to 250 people for private functions.

The aim is to have all catering in-house as soon as practicable.

Formby just fail to force win after valiant run chase LIGHT showers put the dampeners on a few Liverpool & District Cricket Competition fixtures last weekend, with many having a delayed start which resulted in some captains making bold declarations in order to try and force a positive result in the allotted time left to play, writes Glenn Wallworth.

In the Premier Division, Northern moved up to top spot with a 43 run victory at Wallasey.

Choosing to bat first they bravely declared on 138-8 with skipper James Cole 34 and Justin Snow 29 top scoring, whilst Matty Hughes 3-9 and Matthew Keogh 3-54 were the pick of the bowlers.

In reply, Liam Grey 4-37, Tom Sephton 3-22 and Jamie Barnes 3-28 made sure the hosts got nowhere near to their target as they were dismissed for 95 with Josh Rylance unbeaten on 41.* Formby slipped to second place after an agonising closely fought draw at home against Colwyn Bay. The visitors were asked to bat and managed to declare on 192-5, thanks in the main to valuable runs from Patrick Leach 90 and George Johansen 66.

In reply, the hosts had just 28 overs in which to reach their target and rapid runs from William Porterfield 70, James Seward 47 and Sam Oldham 43 almost took them over line

Porterfield top scores with 70 but match ends in draw as Northern take over top spot in the table before they closed just two runs short of victory on 191-5.

Third placed Bootle recorded a convincing ten wicket win at Lytham, having put the hosts in to bat Chris Liptrot 5-46 and Will Purser 4-39 let the ball do the talking as Lytham were dismantled for 105, with Matt Shawcross unbeaten on 39*.

In reply openers Vishal Tripathi 64* and Will Hale 40* guided the visitors to 110-0 to wrap up victory.

Fourth placed Ormskirk got back to winning ways with a 47 run home win against Rainford, the hosts were asked to bat and declared on 237-7 with Alex Rankin 59, Luke Platt 51* on his 1st XI league debut, Gary Knight 38, John Armstrong 33 and Tom Hartley 22* all weighing in with valuable runs.

In reply, opener Paul Farrar fell one short of his century on 99 but he lacked any real support as Rainford were dismissed for 190, with Hartley topping off a fine individual performance by taking 6-66 with the ball.

Davies sets Ainsdale on their way before Fleetwood innings comes to a Swift end IN the First Division, Southport & Birkdale who have a game in hand over the leaders Orrell Red Triangle closed the gap to just a single point with a 73 run home win against Birkenhead Park.

The hosts chose to bat and thanks to runs from Adam Phillips 59, Chris Cunningham 28, Alex Trimboli 25 and Charlie Byrne 24 were able to declare on 195-8, with Ahmad Abdullah bowling right through the innings to claim 7-59.

In reply, the visitors were soon put on triple spin by Gary Keedy, skipper Chris Firth and Cunningham as they were washed away for 122, with Keedy claiming 6-32.

Third placed Ainsdale recorded a huge 98 run win at Fleetwood Hesketh.

The visitors chose to bat first and thanks runs from Andy Davies who was bizarrely given out for 37, Brandon Faber who made 36 and Stephen Lucas who hit 30 were able to declare on 163-9, with Tommy Wareing 3-23 and Danny Murphy 3-31 taking the bulk of the wickets.

In reply, Mal Swift then took control of the match with the ball as his 7-27 helped roll over the hosts for a paltry 65.

Ainsdale’s Andy Davies top scored with 37 against Fleetwood Hesketh.

Hightown held to a draw after being pegged back by Kelly IN the Second Division, Hightown St Mary’s were held to a draw at home against Spring View.

The hosts were asked to bat and declared their innings on 195-5, thanks in the main to valuable runs from Jayden

Schadendorf 55, Muhammad Zeb 52 and skipper Ben Ashcroft with 26.

In reply, the visitors opening pair of Dave Gornall 49 and Lewis Matthews 29 got them off to a great start, but 5-37 and a run out from Jim Kelly pegged

them back as they closed the game out on 155-7.

Maghull got back to winning ways with a 56 run home win against leaders Caldy.

After electing to bat first the hosts declared on 190-8 with Josh Mahoney 40, Cam Lawren-

son 40* and Anthony Molloy 36 scoring the bulk of the runs, whilst Zaighum Abbas took 481 with the ball. In reply, the visitors collapsed from 41-0 to 134 all out, thanks in the main to a match winning 6-31 from Australian all rounder Mahoney.

THIS weekend’s local LDCC fixtures (1pm start): Bootle v Colwyn Bay, Highfield v Formby, Leigh v Ormskirk, Northern v Rainhill, Ainsdale v Newton Le Willows, Burscough v Southport & Birkdale, Orrell Red Triangle v Fleetwood Hesketh, Caldy v Hightown St Mary ’s, St Helens Town v Maghull and Southport Trinity v Northop Hall.

Focus on Care and Independent Living

At some stage in our lives, as we get older, most of us will come to rely on a care service program, whether for ourselves or a relative.

From home 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, as there is such a vast array of choices

available, it can often prove both daunting and confusing when selecting which is going to be right 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 and advice of what services are out there and what you can expect. Where care is concerned, one size can never fit all!

Independent Living The longer anyone can live independently in their own home, the happier they will generally be. You may be entitled to some help to adapt your home to any special needs required. These changes can be vital for both the carer and charge. Grants and financial help may be available to you and your local authority will guide you through what you need to do.

However, sometimes, help or some sort of supervision may be needed to continue living well and without problems. One of the options available is Sheltered Housing, also known as Retirement Housing. This is an ideal solution if you are still physically and mentally able to live independently and would enjoy the companionship of others your age. These homes are usually self contained, smaller and easier-to-manage with access to communal areas, such as a lounge, laundry area and garden. Some will have a warden who lives on site or off site, and all should provide 24-hour emergency assistance and help through an alarm system. A lot of these homes will arrange regular social events for residents and these communities promote active lifestyles in a secure environment, providing low-maintenance living.

Enhancing quality of life, daily.

WE ARE OPEN 9-4 (Flexible times available) Monday to Friday, with a choice of full and half day sessions Included in sessions is a three course lunch with drinks and snacks available throughout the day. Transport can also be provided.

Most sheltered housing for rent is provided by local councils or housing associations and there’s often a waiting list. Some Retirement housing is also available to buy and is usually built by private developers. The scheme is usually run by a separate management group who employ the warden or scheme manager, who organises maintenance and other services. Make sure the managers are members of a recognised trade body such as the Association of Retirement Housing Managers.

Almshouses are another type of sheltered housing run by charitable trusts, mainly for older people. Each charity has a policy on who it will assist, for example residents who live in a particular geographical area or workers who have retired from a particular trade. As Almshouse residents are beneficiaries of a charity, they don’t have the same rights as tenants.

Home care with a difference With Home Instead Senior Care, caring for an ageing loved one doesn’t have to be a struggle.

It’s why we offer everything from individualized help around the house to advanced Alzheimer’s care - to keep your loved one safe and sound wherever they call home.

You can’t always be there. But we can.

Helping The Carer A carer is anyone who cares, unpaid, for a friend or family member who due to illness, disability, a mental health problem or an addiction cannot cope without their support. Caring for an another person can sometimes prove difficult but it can also be a positive and rewarding experience. Not all carers are trained professionals, many are just caring for someone they love.

If you’re a carer, there are many organisations that can provide practical and financial help, as well as short breaks from caring. Most carers have a legal right to an assessment of their own needs. Take this opportunity to discuss with the social services department of your local authority any help you may need. You can ask for any help that will assist in maintaining your own health and wellbeing, ensuring you can balance caring with other aspects of your life, such as work and family commitments. Social services will then use the assessment to decide what help to provide.

2. DOMICILIARY CARE: someone can come into your home for a few hours or even overnight, so you can go out or have some time to yourself.

You can sometimes get a break when the person you care for is involved in other activities, for instance at school or at a day care centre.

As well as the practical and emotional support that you may require as a carer, you may also need financial help and advice. You may require financial support for extra expenses that come within the caring role. Carer’s Allowance is the main state benefit for carers, so it’s important to find out if you are eligible. You can get a claim form from your local Jobcentre Plus office or the Department for Work and Pensions. For more information on what benefits you’re entitled to, contact or visit your local Citizen’s Advice Bureau.

Below are a number of ways that you can take a break from your caring role and this is something that you can also discuss with a social worker or care manager.

They may also be able to suggest other ways that might suit you better:

If you’re working as well as caring for someone, you have the right to ask your employer for flexible working arrangements to help you. This could be working parttime, flexi-time (when you choose your working hours), compressed hours (working your contracted hours over fewer days), job-sharing or homeworking. You have the right to make one request for flexible working and your employer must consider it but does not have to agree to it.

1. RESIDENTIAL RESPITE: the person you care for is looked after by someone else for a short period of time, either in residential or nursing care, or on holiday.

Your health and wellbeing is most important for yourself and the person you are caring for and we all need a little help some times.

Care Homes When living at home independently is becoming too difficult, then it maybe time to consider what other options are available to you.

You may look into adapting your home to help make life easier, or maybe you could look at getting some support at home to help with those things that are simply becoming too difficult. However, if you decide that moving into a care home is the best option for you then it can give you the chance to focus on your health and wellbeing, whilst also providing you with the opportunity to meet new people and develop new friendships.

Firstly you need to consider all of the options available and work out which will work best for you as there are several different types of care home to consider: CARE HOMES Help with personal care, such as washing, dressing, taking medication and going to the toilet. They may also offer social activities such as day trips or outings.

NURSING HOMES Personal care as well as assistance from qualified nurses.

CARE HOMES WITH DEMENTIA CARE (Sometimes called Elderly Mentally Infirm (EMI) homes) - They are designed to make people with dementia feel comfortable and safe.

DUAL-REGISTERED CARE HOMES They accept residents who require both personal care and nursing care. This means that someone who initially just needs personal care but later needs nursing care won’t have to change homes.

The Glade

Residential Care Home 32 Lancaster Road Southport PR8 2LE

DO YOUR RESEARCH Anyone can get access to information regarding a care home and see for yourself how the home functions. You can get these inspection reports by searching for the care home on the Care Quality Commission website (www.cqc.org.uk).

These reports highlight a number of categories, ie. safety; caring; responsive. You can also find out if the home specialises in any particular services and see their overall rating. For Children’s care homes this information can be found from Ofsted (www.gov.uk/government/organisations/ ofsted).

• LOCATION Residents do not want to feel isolated.

Always ensure that the care home is within reach of family and friends and that shops and facilities are easily accessible.

Noise can also be an issue so visit the location at different times of day and week.

• VISITING & OUTINGS Find out about visits and outings. Does the home provide outings and can anyone come and visit any time?

SPEAK TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS for recommendations. Does anyone that you know have a relative or friend who is already in a care home? A recommendation from a happy resident is worth it’s weight in gold.

VISIT THE CARE HOMES Try to visit all of the homes on your shortlist, making an

appointment to meet the care home manager. Before you visit, make a list of all the questions you want to ask and all the things you want to look out for – it’s easy to forget things and doing as much research as you can is important. It’s useful to ask about the level of care provided, the fees and waiting list. Talk to staff members and observe the way they work and care for residents. Some homes may invite you to spend the day there so you can get a feel of the place and what it is like. It is also advisable that you find out about the details of the Care Home contract that you will be expected to sign.

• COMMUNICATION Find out how communication works with the staff. This consideration is particularly important if you are acting on behalf of someone who is considering becoming a full time resident.

• OTHER CONSIDERATIONS Think about ethnic, cultural and social needs as well as dietary needs. Finally, some homes will allow pets which may be important to you.

Before making a final decision, it is a good idea to ask for a temporary stay of a month or so. This can sometimes be arranged and is an excellent way of seeing for yourself whether the home is right for you.

Although mobility problems make it harder to get around, transport has been getting more accessible for disabled and elderly people over the years.

All public transport vehicles have to be accessible to avoid causing difficulty for disabled passengers. These vehicles also have to accept guide dogs or assistance dogs.

SUITABLE FOR TYPE 2 DIABETES CLIENTS

However, if you are using public transport, it’s worth contacting the transport operator before you travel to make sure they are able to offer the assistance you require. By law, all public transport buses have to meet specific disability standards. Buses and trains will usually have priority seating for older people and those with disabilities. They will also usually have space and wide doors for wheelchairs. Some buses, trains and trams are fitted with automatic ramps.

A WIDE SELECTION OF ELECTRIC RECLINERS Molloys Furnishers has been an established furniture supplier since 1932, today it has its fourth generation working within the company to continue the fantastic work. Originally the first furniture shop was opened in Southport where we had a lot of success, but we wanted to expand further to Lytham to allow us to cover more of the North West.

People in their 60’s and those with disabilities can also travel free on local buses anywhere in England between 9.30am and 11pm Monday to Friday, and at any time during the weekend and on bank holidays. Some authorities offer free travel for longer periods, and some will allow a companion to travel with the pass holder for free.

Another option is to check with the local council whether your area has a community transport scheme. Many areas offer a free ‘Dial-a-Ride’ service, offering door-to-door transport for people unable to use regular buses. If you use a wheelchair or simply find it difficult to walk to a bus stop then travel can be an ordeal.Dial a Ride is your answer!

These services are key in helping people to remain independent, ensuring they are able to get to any medical appointments, to the shops or to visit friends. Some also offer a regular timetable of social excursions.

Staying Engaged with Alzheimer’s Seniors with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias should strive to continue to do as much as they can to retain their independence for as long as possible.

Being at home is more often than not, the best place for this.

“The preferred environment for those with dementia is generally in familiar surroundings such as their home.”

This is the view of Dr. Jane F. Potter, who served on the expert panel to help develop content for Home Instead Senior Care® network’s free Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias CARE training programme.

The following, from Dr. Potter and Home Instead Senior Care, are tips on how to help family carers continue to engage older adults with Alzheimer’s in everyday activities: 1 ALLOW THE INDIVIDUAL TO DO AS MUCH AS THEY CAN BUT DON’T EXPECT THEM TO DO WHAT THEY CAN’T. Give clear instructions, which may mean giving instructions one step at a time.

2 SIMPLIFY THE TASK. When dressing, put them in a position to do as much as possible. Make it easier to dress, for instance, by laying out clothing in sequential order, with the underwear and socks on top.

3 START AN ACTIVITY AND THEN ASK FOR HELP. For example if your Mum has forgotten how to make that favourite family recipe, begin the process and ask for her help with whatever she can.

4 MAKE ACTIVITIES EASIER OR CHANGE THE ACTIVITY. If the person can’t play bridge any more, play another card game instead.

5 REMEMBER, IT’S ABOUT MORE THAN JUST THE TASK. Turn a bath into an opportunity to smell different soaps or, when picking out clothing, discuss fashion or special colours.

6 REMEMBER THAT EXERCISE CAN HELP KEEP SENIORS ACTIVE LONGER. It is important to help them to get up and move more, not less.

Dementia Friends

NORWOOD DENTAL PRACTICE

Creating Healthy & Beautiful Smiles Comprehensive Dental Services Having reported on many dementia awareness courses being carried out within the Sefton, West Lancs and Liverpool areas, it was time for the staff at the Champion to learn more about the disease too.

Held over two days, 20 staff from the offices based in Southport learnt more about the disease which has now overtaken heart disease and cancer as the biggest killer in the UK. Information worker and Dementia Champion Linda Lawson from The Alzheimer’s Society Sefton, who being visually impaired was assisted by her husband Jim (“her human guide dog”), led the groups through engaging and fun sessions (we played bingo, with prizes!).

We learnt more about the different types of

dementia, their causes, and what we can do help ourselves. One in 14 over the age of 65 has dementia, statistics show.

While our preconceptions about the disease were challenged - we were taught that people can live well with the disease, we also learnt to appreciate more the challenges of people living with dementia and those who care for them. Who knew about what sort of things could go wrong with making a cup of tea?

Afterwards Linda said the biggest issue people who live with dementia face is the attitude of other people. “People do not understand it well,” she said, “The whole idea of these sessions is to give people some information to be better informed.

It’s all about becoming a dementia friendly community.”

Personal Care As we become older some of the things we take for granted, such as vision, hearing and personal hygiene can deteriorate and become more difficult to us to take care of.

When it comes to bathing there is usually a deeper cause for someone’s refusal to wash than just “not wanting to”. Bathrooms can become dangerous places for someone with reduced mobility who is unsteady on their feet. The fear of falling can be a major contributor to their reluctance. Those who suffer from Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia may simply forget that they have not showered recently.

Others may tire easily or suffer with shortness of breath. There are numerous potential causes, but there are practical and creative ways to minimise someone’s fears and discomfort.

It’s true that most seniors don’t necessarily need to, nor should they bathe as often due to their sensitive skin and relatively low activity levels, but semi-regular washing is crucial for their health and mental well being. Helping someone bathe, shave, dress and perform other personal activities can be difficult. Knowing how to handle these delicate situations will make things easier for both you and your loved one. If the person needs more than a little help with bathing, ask your doctor about having a professional caregiver come to your home and show you how to make the task both easier and safer. Home health services, nurses and therapists provide this kind of service. The United Kingdom Homecare Association Ltd (UKHCA) helps organisations that provide social care (also known as domiciliary care or homecare), which may include nursing services, to people in their own homes. They can also offer advice for carers.

Getting out to visit a barbers or the hairdresser can be a special experience for many people who are ill or disabled. If possible, it’s often worth the extra effort to take the person out for a haircut or shampoo. Many shops will make a special

effort to meet the client’s needs, especially if they know the client or family.

Oral health is extremely important and there are a few guidelines to follow: Clean teeth at least once a day; Check dentures regularly for cracks and other damage; Remove dentures for cleaning and store in liquid when out of the mouth; Have dentures checked if they aren’t fitting properly as this can be a common cause of eating problems – rather than just a loss of appetite.

You need to pay more attention to looking after your eyesight in older age. Lighting in the home can be an issue. At the age of 60, your eyes need three times the amount of light than they needed at 20 years of age. To make the most of your lighting at home keep your windows clean and pull the curtains back as far as possible; consider replacing the curtains with blinds, which makes it easier to control the amount of light that comes into a room. Ensure stairs are well lit and use a flexible table lamp for reading or close work. Everyone aged 60 and over qualifies for a free NHS-funded sight test, every 2 years. A sight test checks your vision straight ahead, as well as your peripheral vision. The test also looks for agerelated changes as well as eye conditions such as cataracts, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and glaucoma, which can lead to sight loss. These conditions can be detected at an early stage, often before you’ve even noticed that anything is wrong.

Hearing problems can also be serious. If you notice signs such as difficulties in hearing people on the telephone, or others complaining the TV volume is very high, then it may be time to seek professional advice. Hearing loss is extremely common and approximately one in three people between 65 and 74 experience hearing loss.

Losing your hearing can have a profoundly negative effect on someone’s enjoyment and quality of life. It is another important area to check and get advice about in your later years.

Final Arrangements One of the most emotional times in someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life is saying goodbye to a loved one. This means it can become hard to think of all the practicalities that need taking care of next.

There are three main things you must do in the first few days after someone dies.

1. Ensure you obtain a medical certificate from their GP or hospital doctor. This is very important as you will need this certificate to register their death. In the case of their passing being unexpected, or if they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been seen by their family doctor in the 2 weeks prior, their death is reported to a coroner and could end up in a post-mortem or inquest. If this happens it sometimes can mean a delay in the funeral.

2. If you register the death within five days, you will be given all the documents you need for the funeral. Ask your registrar about the free Tell Us Once service. If this is offered in your area, this means that several government departments can be informed of the death at the same time and takes a fair bit of pressure off you. This can be done online or by telephone.

3. Arranging the Funeral â&#x20AC;&#x201C; When choosing the Funeral Director, try and choose an accredited one from an organisation who adheres to codes of practice. These must provide you with a price list if you request one. Organisations such as National Association of Funeral Directors, National Federation of Funeral Directors and Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors are all good examples.

The Funeral Director will take you through all the options available to ensure your loved one has the send off they deserve. Be clear on what is included in the price quoted for their service to avoid any unexpected costs for any extras.

The financial part This is the part that sometimes brings with it a bit of worry but if your loved one has being organised and left an insurance policy to cover/help with the costs of the funeral it takes a lot of that worry away.

Perhaps your loved one had a pre-paid funeral plan in place or has a sizeable estate (savings) that could also help cover the cost.

If you have any difficulties in paying for the funeral, you may be able to apply for a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Funeral Expenses Paymentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; from your local government.

Financial Planning

Funeral plans from

Dean Brothers (Formby) Ltd Independent Family Funeral Directors since 1827

For many people, the goal is to arrive at retirement age with a substantial pension pot and a considerable sum in ISA accounts. Is this always possible?

You know you should be saving for your retirement but is a pension always the best way?

With interest rates having been at a historical low, there are a vast number of alternative options available to you for ways to save for your retirement – but which will suit you best?

More often than not, it’s much better to take advice. Start by picking the right Financial Advisor for you. Meet with them and discuss your current situation and your end goal. They will then provide you a variety of ways in which you can invest, save and increase your capital.
