Nightclub and late-night bar plan for resort attraction Report by Danielle Thompson

Southport Pier could house a night venue if plans get the go-ahead

THE TOWN’S famous pier could be set to have its own nightclub, if plans to turn its daytime cafe into a late-night bar are given the go-ahead.

Southport Pier Cafe Limited of The Pier Pitstop have applied to Sefton Council for the granting of a premise licence.

This would mean that the cafe at the end of the pier would be open to the public every day of the week from 9am to 3.30am – potentially used as a cafe by day and bar venue by night.

The company has applied to be able to provide live music, recorded music and host dance performances as well as sell alcohol each day and provide late night refreshment

from 11pm to 3.30am. They have also applied to provide regulated entertainment (that of a similar description to music or dance) each day from 10am-3am.

The Grade II listed structure, which is the second longest pier in the UK and the oldest cast iron pier, re-opened to the public in March after the landward end temporarily closed while contractors carried out the second stage of £2.9m improvement works.

The project aims to create additional jobs, increase visitor numbers and secure Southport Pier as a valued asset for many years to come. Additional works include new RSPB telescopes to view wildlife and terrestrial and underwater webcams and television screens to view other marine life.

Sefton Council also revealed that a new access point to the pier will also be constructed in the future. Continued inside

Eyebrows raised over £3.4m spend on Strand Report by Tom Martin PLANS by Sefton Council to splash out more than £3.4million on the Strand Shopping Centre in Bootle for “general works” and a shop roof repair have been questioned by critics.

The council, which bought the shopping centre in May last year for a reported £32.5m, believe the work will result in positive change for both shoppers and business owners.

However, it has raised eyebrows among some residents and Southport councillors who argue the local authority should never have bought the shopping centre in the first place – especially as £307,000 of the £3.4m will be spent on fixing the roof of the TJ Hughes store, which collapsed a little over a year after the takeover.

What the other £3.1m will be spent on is clouded in mystery, as the only description given by the council is “general works to improve the customer experience” with a Cabinet meeting scheduled for Thursday, June 21 when the proposal is expected to be given a green light.

When asked by the Champion what the £3.1m will be spent on, a spokesperson said: “If agreed, this capital investment will support an approved Business Plan to enhance the sustainable competitive position of this important community asset.”

The plans have been criticised by South-

port councillors. Dukes Cllr John Pugh said: “The council should concentrate on its day job and stop pretending it’s a player in the risky retail market. The fact that a year after the purchase of the Strand, it is having to fix the roof shows how far it’s out of its depth.

“We were told extensive checks were made prior to purchase. Looking at the roof might have been a good idea. This is embarrassing for the council and wasting the money of hard-pressed, council tax payers.”

Birkdale Cllr Iain Brodie-Browne added:

‘We are constantly told there is no money and yet it seems there is always money for this pet project of property speculation’

“More of Sefton taxpayers’ money is being poured down the black hole of the Bootle Strand.

“Look around - are there not more important things for Sefton to spend your council tax money on? Social Care, pot holes and road maintenance, our parks and libraries all need investment but we are constantly told there is no money and yet it seems there is always money for this pet project of property speculation.”

With regards to the TJ Hughes roof repair, a council report states: “Defects in the structure in one of the retail units appear to have been exacerbated by the very harsh winter in early 2018. This resulted in part of the concrete structure in TJ Hughes failing and a number of sections of concrete ceiling/roof structure falling to the floor when the shop was closed.

“Given the nature of this failure, it is essential that works are undertaken as a matter of urgency. The costs will be met from prudential borrowing and repayments will be met from income generated through operation of the asset.”

When the council’s Strand takeover was announced in May last year, the Champion reported that the council bought it through a company registered in Luxembourg, with claims that this allowed them to avoid paying £1.5m in stamp duty.

However, the council has always dismissed this claim of ‘tax avoidance’ and maintained the deal made financial sense.

Paedeophile ‘hunter’ talks to the Champion See report on page 5

Southport Air Show will take place earlier this year - in July

Earlier take-off for air show due to high tides in September SOUTHPORT Air Show will be taking off earlier than usual this year - in early July and not September as in recent years.

The resort event will be on Friday, July 6, Saturday, July 7 and Sunday, July 8.

Huge posters have gone up around the town showing the earlier dates, prompting some residents to question why so early!

But for anyone still baffled by the July launch, the explanation is quite simple as Sefton Council chiefs explained that it is because of high tides due in September forcing the popular air show to be brought forward by some eight weeks.

But the displays will be just as exciting.

This year’s event will once again feature a display from the world-famous Red Arrows who will performing their first ever Friday night display at the Southport Air Show.

There will also be aircraft with LED lights, pyrotechnics and music, plus a firework finale.

On all three days the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, The Blades, Fireflies, The Tigers Free Fall Team, OTTO the Helicopter and the P-51 Mustang will display over Southport.

For the first time at the show the Matadors Aerobatic Display Team will be performing at the event and pilots Paul Bonhomme and Steve Jones will also take part in the Spitfire pair display. This has only been done at Duxford and Biggin Hill before.

Members of the Armed Forces will be on hand in the Military Village to talk about career opportunities, and will be testing people’s agility on the climbing walls and paint-ball range and visitors can also enjoy ‘flying a jet’ in flight simulators.

Woman blinded in one eye after attack at Pontins A WOMAN was left blind in her left eye after another woman punched her in it under the misapprehension that she had called her tenyear-old daughter ‘a whore.’

Joanne Benson struck the middle-aged victim in Pontins holiday park in Southport after mistaking her for the person who had shockingly made the comment about her youngster.

A court heard that the victim, now aged 57, had been with her two-year-old grandson on Bonfire night in 2016 outside the resort’s on-site public house. Meanwhile Benson’s young daughter had got into an altercation with a woman who called her ‘a whore’, said Derek Jones, prosecuting.

The child mistakenly told her mum who the woman was and Benson confronted her and there was some finger jabbing and at one point the other woman leaned towards her. “A punch was thrown by the defendant with her right hand which connected with the woman’s left eye.”

The two women grappled and people ran over to separate them. Mr Jones said that the victim suffers from an eye condition which has caused her problems for years and she has had to undergo surgery for it.

The last operation three months earlier had been

By our Court Reporter successful in restoring her vision but after the blow her eye orbit was left misshapen and surgery failed to correct her sight so in January last year she underwent an operation to remove her eye.

In an impact statement the victim told how she had been left in considerable pain and had lost confidence in social situations.

Benson, 41, of Kingsthorne Road, Hunts Cross, who pleaded guilty to inflicting grievous bodily harm, was sentenced to 15 months imprisonment suspended for 18 months.

Judge Andrew Menary, QC told Benson that her behaviour had been “disgraceful.” He also ordered her to carry out 150 hours unpaid work and imposed a four month curfew between 8pm- 6am.

Rachel Oakdene, defending, said that Benson, a mum-of-three, has no previous convictions and references showed she is well thought of.

The comment made to her daughter was the catalyst for what happened and she is deeply sorry for what happened to the victim, she said.

Fishy coins up for grabs!

FISH and chip shop customers in the town could be set to find something a bit fishy in their change – special commemorative 10p pieces from the Royal Mint!

Northern Ireland to release a limited number of the ‘fish and chip’ coins into chippie tills from the start of the month – including Fylde Fish Bar in Marshside!

Three people hurt in Coastal Road collision

AN AINSDALE woman has marked a very special birthday in style.

Edna Park, who is a member of the congregation at St John's Church on Liverpool Road, enjoyed a musical celebration with her friends and family after a church service on her Birthday earlier this month.

Chris York from the church

said: “Our choir, vicar and other church friends and family gathered after church to wish Edna a very happy 100th Birthday!

“She has worshipped at St John’s in our choir for more than 40 years so it was a pleasure to go and sing a couple of favourite hymns as well as Happy Birthday!”

The scene of the accident

THREE people were injured in a multi-car crash on the Coastal Road on Tuesday.

Merseyside Police officers and the North West Ambulance Service attended the accident at the junction with Weld Road, which happened shortly before 8am. It is believed that a Peugeot 307 and a Nissan Juke collided.

Three people with injuries were treated at the scene and then taken to hospital for treatment.

Road closures were in place yesterday to deal with the incident.

Pier could become late night venue From page 1

The Pier is currently gated halfway down and this is locked each night at 6pm.

Earlier this year, Sefton Council was forced to apologise after an incorrect marketing campaign wrongly described it as the ‘longest iron pier in the UK’ on posters in the resort.

Southport resident Malcolm Wood, the former director of marketing for the English Tourist Board criticised Sefton Council for leaving up the poster for more than a month after

they admitted that it was wrong.

The longest pier is actually Southend Pier, which at 7,080 ft long is almost twice the length of Southport’s, at 3,663 ft.

Sefton Council apologised for the misleading information on the poster and said that in the future they will market it as the ‘oldest cast iron pier and the second longest in the country.’

Members of the public can submit their views on the Pier plans to Sefton Council by July 2.

MP in call for Transport Secretary to resign over Northern Rail trains shambles A SEFTON MP has called for the Transport Secretary to resign and for railways to be brought back under public ownership following the chaos suffered by train passengers with the introduction of new timetables.

Bill Esterson, Sefton Central MP told the Champion: “Many of my constituents use Northern to travel from Southport and Liverpool to Manchester and the recent upheaval of the new timetable - which has led to hundreds of trains being delayed and cancelled - could and should have been avoided.”

With no end in sight to the shambles, Mr Esterson said Transport Secretary Chris Grayling is ultimately responsible for ensuring rail companies fulfil their contracts but he had ‘failed in his duties’ and needs to go. He claimed the fiasco had shown that renationalisation was the best way forward for the railways.

In a question to Mr Grayling during a Commons debate, Mr Esterson said: “Before the timetable changed, Members across the House warned about the problem.

Mr Grayling (third from right) pictured at a meeting in Southport in January to discuss train services to Manchester - despite his visit services from the resort to Piccadilly and Manchester Airport were still wiped off the journey planner.

“On a number of occasions, I have warned about the problems for people travelling from Southport to Manchester.

“It seems that anyone who knew anything about railways especially the travelling public warned ministers about the shortage of drivers, the delays and the engineering works.

“Given all the warnings, why did the Secretary of State not delay the implementation of the new timetable? Frankly, given the chaos, why is he still in his job?”

Mr Grayling, who has ordered an independent enquiry into the failings, responded: “One of the things I want the report to do is

to tell us why the train companies did not tell us that there was a sufficient problem to delay or halt the introduction of the timetable.”

But Mr Esterson said Mr Grayling’s excuses were too little, too late, adding: “He should resign. The travelling public has no faith in him because he failed to stop the chaos.

“He could and should have seen this coming and he could and should have delayed the new timetable. He was warned about what would happen and chose to ignore the warnings.

“Our railways should go back into public ownership. Chris Grayling should just go.”

Burglar was disturbed breaking into man’s house A COURT has heard how a Birkdale man returning to his home midmorning to collect a wheelbarrow disturbed a burglar trying to break into his house.

Glen Preston, 48, of Stonyfield, Netherton, appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court on June 13 where he pleaded guilty to attempted burglary, with the intention to steal, at a property on Sandon Road.

Mat Harvey, prosecuting, said that the resident had made a brief return to his property at 10.35am of July 7 of last year to collect a wheelbarrow from his rear garden when he saw Preston lying on the ground and interfering with the bottom of his patio doors.

“He said to the defendant ‘what are you doing?’ and the defendant replied that he was just lying down,” Mr Harvey said, “He got up to leave but was detained at the scene.”

Stressing that it wasn’t used to assist with the offence, Mr Harvey told the court that Preston had his Labrador dog with him. The resident told police that the patio door showed evidence of being tampered with.

Solicitor Rory McCormack said that the offence was aggravated by

Preston’s record for burglary but that there had been a break between burglary offences. “He does have convictions for burglary, there is no doubt about that,” he said, “But you have to go back to March 2014 for the last time he was convicted of a burglary offence at an East Dorset magistrates’ court. More significantly you have to go back to 2003 in order to see the previous burglary.

There does seem to be something of a hiatus.”

Probation worker Pamela O’Brien said that Preston had been a drug addict for 25 years and was using class A drugs at the time of the offence. He was stealing to fund his substance misuse, she said, adding that he was presently receiving support for a drug treatment provider.

The magistrates sentenced Preston to a £120 fine and ordered that he pay £170 in costs and victim surcharge. He was also ordered to participate with a 12 month community order including 10 days of a rehabilitative activity program and six months of drug rehabilitation.

They said: “The purpose of this order is to support you as much as anything else. So it’s in your interests to go along with it.”

Volunteers needed to help out at top Flower Show VOLUNTEERS are needed to help run the annual Southport Flower Show in August.

The 2018 show will be held from Thursday, August 16 to Sunday, August 19 and volunteers are needed on the customer services team.

Roles on offer include staffing information stands, ticket checking and programme sales.

For the first time this year the Flower Show – which has charitable status - is also allowing well-behaved dogs on leads into the grounds, and dog-loving volunteers are needed to provide assistance to visitors with pets where needed.

Historic streetlights to be returned to former glory HISTORIC streetlights on Lord Street which have become damaged and run-down over the years are being returned to their former glory.

Sefton Council say the old styled pedestal lighting columns will be fully refurbished and work is now underway thanks to funds from Dukes Ward.

The move has been welcomed by town centre campaigner David Barton, who led calls for the work when he was a Dukes Councillor, and he believes the funding of just under £7,000 is enough to restore 110 of the streetlights.

He said: “I’m delighted that work has now begun to repair the ornamental lampposts this summer. These are a signature feature which have long graced our popular high street since the first major industrial improvements were made.

“Having long lobbied for this much needed task as part of my ongoing Community Conservation Campaign I am delighted, that whilst part of my final year as councillor, to have procured

the funding necessary for this achievement which I am sure will be greatly appreciated and welcomed by fellow residents, businesses and prospective

investors. I hope this will be a boost for the town centre and something locals and visitors to our seaside town can enjoy as we continue to restore Lord Street to its former splendour.”

A spokesperson for Sefton Council said: “Refurbishment works are due to begin on a number of pedestal lighting columns along Lord Street.

“Lord Street is a hugely important part of our beautiful borough and refurbishment of the lighting columns will ensure the area can be enjoyed by residents and visitors for many years to come.

“These Dukes Ward funded works are an added boost following the news that Sefton Council has received initial National Lottery support for the Southport Townscape Heritage Project.

“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."

In return for their hard work, volunteers will receive two complimentary tickets for friends and family, which

can be used on any of the four days of the show.

Rachael West, volunteering and citizenship worker with Sefton Volunteer Centre which is supporting the Flower Show with the recruitment, told the Champion: “Southport Flower Show is one of the most prestigious events of its type in the country, and this is a great opportunity for local people to join its friendly team.

“As well as getting an interesting insider’s view of how the show works, they will have the satisfaction of knowing that they are making a positive contribution to one of the jewels in Southport’s tourism crown.”

Village to celebrate Rose Queen Day TARLETON will be holding its Rose Queen Day on Saturday to raise money for Mere Brow and Holy Trinity Primary Schools.

Taking place behind Holy Trinity Church Tarleton, Rose Queen Day is a traditional village celebration with a brass

band, maypole dancing, BBQ, tearoom, games, stalls and entertainment starting at 1pm.

The new Rose Queen is 12year-old Rosie Samuels, a pupil at Bishop Rawstorne CofE Academy, who said: “I am really delighted to be Rose

Queen this year and represent my church, Holy Trinity.

“Over the next year whilst Rose Queen, I hope, with the help of my retinue, to raise as much money as I can for my chosen charity which supports research into pancreatic cancer.”

Market place-style meetings will take over role of former Area Committees

SEFTON residents now have a new way to engage with the council and its partners.

Constituency Forums are being introduced by Sefton Council as a more relaxed way for residents to talk to agencies, councillors and council departments about any issues they have.

The forums will be held twice a year in each of the respective Parliamentary Constituencies within Sefton; Bootle, Central Sefton and Southport.

Cllr Paulette Lappin, Cabinet Member Regulatory, Compliance and Corporate Services, said: “After consulting about the old and aged style of Area Committees, we decided to take a look at how we engage with our communities and came up with the idea of the Constituency Forums.

“The format of the Constituency Forum will be a marketplace style at which there will

be a number of tables for ward Councillors, internal Sefton departments and partners to attend.

“This will give our valued residents the opportunity to arrive, get a drink and talk to agencies, councillors and departments about any issues they have, moving from table to table depending on the resident’s particular needs.

Relaxed “We hope that this new format will remove the formality of the old Area Committee process and attract residents to a more relaxed public meeting at which they feel that the Council and its partners are more accessible

and friendly. Dates for the forums have been announced and I really hope people take the time to attend them.”

The planned dates for the Constituency Forum across Sefton are: • Bootle – Thursday, June 21 at 6.30pm in Bootle Town Hall’s Ball Room • Central Sefton – Thursday, June 28 at 6.30pm in Crosby Lakeside • Southport – Thursday, July 5 at 6.30pm in The Atkinson’s Studio Room Each forum is expected to finish around 9pm.

Former Marvel Comics writer Tim Quinn with one of the families who visited his Comic Workshop at the rally.

Woodvale Rally favourites Historia Normannis returned to re-enact one of their 12th century skirmishes at Victoria Park.

Woodvale Rally hits a high note as musical acts prove to be big hit DESPITE poor weather at the weekend, visitors still turned out to support the annual Woodvale Rally at Victoria Park.

The new music line-up proved a great hit with John Lennon’s Quarrymen providing entertainment on Saturday and regaling the audience with stories of the Beatles, Hamburg and the Cavern Club days in Liverpool.

Peter Wood, general manager for the event, said: “Unfortunately the weather wasn’t very kind to us but people turned out and enjoyed the many attractions and entertainment.

“Mike Byrne from the Sunrockers did us proud with the music programme he arranged for both days and performed his brilliant mix of authentic roll ‘n’ roll sounds. We also had more car clubs than ever before.”

Show-goers were also invited to join former Marvel Comics writer Tim Quinn for a lesson in creating a comic book character based on their life.

The 12th Century was also brought back to life when members of the re-enactment society Historia Normannis set up camp at the showground.

Next year’s rally takes place on June 22 and 23.

MEN in Southport and Formby are urged to check if they have the symptoms of diabetes.

With one man in 10 across the country having diabetes, NHS commissioners are urging men to check for signs of the disease in an initiative which ties in with the recent Men’s Health Week campaign.

Diabetes is a lifelong condition that causes a person's blood sugar level to become too high, and the number of men being diagnosed with the disease is expected to increase sharply over the next 20 years.

NHS Southport and Formby Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is backing the campaign as 6,500 people, both men and women across Sefton are ‘at risk’ of developing type 2 diabetes, with a further estimated 26,000 yet to be identified.

Men are being encouraged not to ignore these seven symptoms: feeling very thirsty; urinating more frequently than usual, particularly at night; feeling very tired; weight loss and loss of muscle bulk; itching around the genitals, or frequent episodes of thrush; cuts or wounds that heal slowly and blurred vision.

Dr Doug Callow, GP and diabetes lead at NHS Southport and Formby CCG, said: “It's really important that diabetes is diagnosed as early as possible because it will get progressively worse if left untreated.

“If you are diagnosed with diabetes,

By Danielle Thompson whether a man or a woman, there is lots of support for you, including our Diabetes Education Programme.”

Free education programmes are on offer to help local people with diabetes to manage their condition.

Provided by Lancashire Care NHS Foundation Trust, ‘Diabetes and You’ is a programme for people who have been newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. ‘Diabetes and More’ is for people who have been living with the condition for more than a year.

Dr Callow added: “I know that talking about diabetes isn’t always easy but being able to manage your condition properly can have a big impact on your life.

“These sessions are free, informal and are a great way of meeting other people who are also keen to learn more about managing their condition.

They are held in various venues across Southport and Formby and at various timings throughout the day, including evenings and weekends. They’re designed to make living with diabetes as manageable for you as possible.”

New scam warning to Sefton residents

by Danielle Thompson SEFTON residents are being urged to be on their guard against a new telephone scam involving imposters claiming to be from Citizens Advice Sefton.

The scammers offer bogus debt management plans, known as Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA) in a bid to get victims to part with their money, but genuine Sefton Citizens Advice staff say they would never call people out of the blue offering such plans.

They are urging anyone who does receive such a call or text, to alert Action Fraud immediately on 0300 123 2040, or online at actionfraud.org.uk/reportfraud.

John Trotter from Sefton Citizens Advice told the Champion: “Recently a call was made from a mobile number to one of our money advisors on her own mobile phone while she was at work. As soon as it was clear that this was a scam call, the conversation was put on loud speaker for all colleagues to listen in.

“When the caller was asked which Citizens Advice he was calling from, he replied Manchester. He asked if our colleague had debt in excess of £6,000, and after some pushing for about 15 minutes, he offered to transfer the conversation to his manager at a legitimate debt

Tricksters offering to solve debt problems, claim to be working for Citizens Advice

DOMESTIC CLEANING & IRONING SERVICES The scams involve callers pretending to work for Sefton Citizens Advice

advice charity but the call would then be passed on to another scammer to take further.

“Our advice is clear. Do not take calls like this at face value, come in for a free face to face session with genuine advice.”

John also passed on a warning about a Sky Broadband scam.

He added: “We were recently contacted by phone by a gentleman who had been telephone scammed. He was tricked as he has a Sky account and the caller said he had been overcharged for broadband services and was due a refund.

“They said they needed his bank account and scan of his passport and they took £6,000 from his account. We advised him

to report this to Action Fraud, contact his bank’s fraud team and to notify passport office of this identity theft. He is keen that his story is told to help stop future scam frauds.

“Never give your bank details over the phone to a cold caller.

Never tell someone your PIN number. Anyone with financial difficulties can contact our bureau for free, confidential, independent and expert advice to help solve debt problems.”

If any reader has a scam story that they would be willing to share with Sefton Citizens Advice researchers, contact John by email at john.trotter@seftoncab.org.uk or call 0344 493 0012.

Don’t kill baby birds with kindness, says RSPB KIND -HEARTED animal lovers could be in danger of harming baby birds simply by trying to help them survive!

With the nesting season fully upon us, Chris Collett, spokesperson for the RSPB Northern England, warned: “At this time of year we get hundreds of calls from well-meaning members of the public about the seemingly helpless baby birds they ’ve discovered on the ground.

“But it’s vital that people resist the urge to intervene – this is a natural part of the bird’s development, so keep calm and step away.

“Just before baby birds are ready to tentatively extend a wing, wiggle a tail feather and take flight for the first time,

they leave their nest – “fledge” as it’s called. Fledglings then spend a couple of days on the ground and around the nest developing their final flight feathers. The fledglings will appear fully feathered and hop around your garden in broad daylight – hence why members of the public are convinced they need rescuing.”

Chris continued: “Another common fear is that the fledgling has been deserted by its parents. But fledglings are extremely unlikely to be abandoned.

Mum and dad are probably off gathering food or hiding nearby with a beady eye on their young, waiting for you to leave.

“Parents know best and are the experts in rearing their young. Removing a

A baby great tit

fledgling from the wild significantly reduces its chances of long-term survival – so please don’t ‘kidnap’ the baby bird, even in a well-meaning way.”

There are only a couple of situations

when the public should lend a friendly helping hand: If the baby bird is found on a busy road or path, and if it is safe to do so, the baby bird should be picked up and moved a short distance to a safer place - this must be within hearing distance of where the fledgling was found.

Similarly, if you discover your cat or dog eyeing up a fledgling we recommend that you keep your domestic pet indoors for a couple of days – or at least around dawn and dusk.

If an injured fledgling is discovered this should be reported immediately to the RSPCA on 0300 1234 999. Sometimes local vets treat wild birds for free, but

please check with them first. If a baby bird is discovered on the ground that is either unfeathered or covered only in its fluffy nestling down, it has likely fallen out of its cosy nest ahead of schedule.

Very occasionally it is possible to put these babies back in their nest, but only if you are 100% sure of the nest it has fallen from.

Chris added: “However, sometimes a parent bird will intentionally eject a chick from the nest if they sense it has an underlying health problem or is dying.

It’s a harsh truth to stomach, as humans we want to fix things, but sometimes we need to allow the law of nature to run its course.”

Merseyside Police ask football fans to enjoy World Cup ‘free from trouble’ FOOTBALL fans in the borough not lucky enough to be in Russia for the World Cup are being urged to enjoy the tournament at home or in the pub, ‘sensibly’ and not to break the law.

Venues around Merseyside are expected to get very busy when key matches are being played especially England games.

Merseyside Polce Superintendent Mark Wiggins said: “We want people across our area to enjoy this World Cup – it should be a wonderful tournament and there will be many venues and licensed premises showing the games, in particular those involving England. “Merseyside is a welcoming place and there are people from all over Europe who live in and visit the area. Football is a spectator sport and we expect lots of establishments to be busier when matches are being played. “While we do not want to spoil anyone's fun, we will not tolerate anti-social or criminal behaviour.

We know around half of all violent crimes committed are alcohol related and that if you drink at home, then go out, you are more likely to be involved in violence, either as a victim or as an offender. “Liverpool’s night time economy is rightly famous and the city has a well-deserved reputation as a safe and vibrant place to enjoy a night out, recently retaining its Purple Flag status for the eighth successive year. “We want to ensure people visiting the city and other parts of Merseyside who watch the games, leave with memories of a fantastic afternoon or evening watching the football and are keen to come back when the tournament is over. “We work closely with the local authority and the

Former Reds captain urges Sefton residents to give blood More men are needed as donors

Report by Tom Martin For the eighth year in a row, St. Mary’s College will stage the musical spectacular at its Blundell Park playing field on Little Crosby Road at 7.30pm on Saturday 14th July.

Proms in the Park will feature 250 talented young musicians from St Mary’s College & Preparatory School, conducted by the school’s director of Music, Andrew Byers. There will also be a special guest performance by renowned International Soprano and former St Mary’s pupil Rachael Russell.

Compere for the event will be BBC Radio Merseyside presenter Roger Phillips.

The St. Mary’s pupils will play all the old favourites from the annual Last Night of the Proms concert at the Royal Albert Hall.

These include Elgar’s Pomp and Circumstance March No 1 (Land of Hope and Glory), Jerusalem, the Fantasia on British Sea Songs written by Proms founder Henry Wood and, of course, Rule Britannia.

The concert will finish with a performance of Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture, which will be accompanied by a

spectacular fireworks display.

St. Mary’s Principal, Mike Kennedy, commented: “The Last Night of the Proms concert has been a tradition at the school for many years now, but staging it in the open air in recent summers has brought a whole new dimension to the event.

“Following the excellent feedback we received in 2017, we’re hoping for an even bigger audience this year.”

“They will be able to enjoy a concert that will be both a rousing way to end the school year and a wonderful showcase for the wealth of musical talent here at St. Mary’s,” added Mr Kennedy.

Advanced ticket prices for the concert are £17.50 for adults, £10.00 for children (applies to students) and £50.00 for a family ticket (2 adults, 2 children).

Entrance is free for children under five.

For more information about the event and to book tickets please ring St. Mary’s College on 0151 924 3926 or email proms@stmarys.lpool.sch.uk.

FORMER Liverpool and England footballer Paul Ince has teamed up with NHS Blood and Transplant to urge locals to register as blood donors.

There is a particular focus in recruiting more men into giving blood, with two thirds of all new donors being women.

At the launch of the appeal, Ince said: “Each donation can save or improve the lives of up to three seriously ill people.

“It can’t be overemphasised how important each new donor is, where over 6,000 blood donations are required daily to keep the nation pumping.”

Mike Stredder, Director of Blood Donation at NHS Blood and Transplant says: “To meet all of our patient’s needs at all times, we need 700 new donors every day to follow the former England captain’s lead and bleed for their team. (see picture right) “Our campaign is about saving lives and each donation is a precious and generous gift.

“There is a particular need for O negative and B negative donors as these are vulnerable blood groups that often run low on stocks at various times of the year, so any men who know they have one of these blood groups please do come forward to donate.”

Go to the website www.blooc.co.uk to find out if you can donate, register as a donor and book an appointment at your local donor centre.

Cyclists complete their â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;big summer challengeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; A TEAM of cyclists from Ainsdale have completed a 174-mile round trip from Liverpool to Snowdonia to raise funds for two charities close to their hearts.

A total of 15 riders from Ainsdale Cycling Club took on the two-day challenge last week, cycling to Betws-Y-Coed and back for the Woodlands Hospice Charitable Trust and CLIC Sargent, the national teenage cancer charity.

The clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aim is to raise as much money as possible through its pages on online donation site Just Giving (search for Ainsdale Cycling Club) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and are hoping that Champion readers will add to the funds they have already raised.

Gareth McIntegart, one of the cyclists, said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We always plan a big summer challenge. This year we agreed we should use it to benefit not only our own community, but a charity which is doing really important work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our fundraising pages have already attracted a

lot of donations for which we are hugely grateful â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but of course we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to settle for what we have raised so far. Both of these charities do fantastic work, Woodlands for cancer sufferers of all ages and CLIC for those aged 16-24. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any and all donations are welcome and the more we raised, the easier it felt pushing through the almost 180-mile round trip!â&#x20AC;?

Kate Leah, head of fundraising at Woodlands Hospice added: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were delighted to be one of the charities supported during this challenge. Gareth and the Ainsdale Cycling Club have been absolutely fantastic and we are truly grateful for everything they are doing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to raise ÂŁ3,500 every day to continue to provide free services to those with life limiting illnesses across North Liverpool, South Sefton and Knowsley. Without the support of people like the Ainsdale Cycling Club, we simply wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to continue with the work that we do.â&#x20AC;?

LETTERS to the Editor

Beach is for everyone... and that includes dogs!

A response to ‘People should not take dogs on the beach without a lead.’

I was sad to read about a lady being jumped upon by a dog on the beach and so asked for dogs to be kept on a lead while on the beach.

The beach is there for everybody to enjoy - not just people and children, animals too - inclusive of horses.

There are plenty of places to jog where animals aren’t allowed and one incident shouldn't reflect badly on the rest of dog walkers.

Why should dogs have to remain on leads? They enjoy a run just like people do. We do not need ‘safer’ spaces to exercise and relax our dogs - we have them, the beach.

Few open places remain to walk your dog in Sefton and if a dog was kept on a lead all the time and not allowed to run then the animal would go stir crazy.

I’m sure you wouldn’t like it if you were on a lead, restricted and not allowed to run and explore.

Let’s celebrate selfless volunteers who work for St John Ambulance

As St John Ambulance’s County President for Merseyside, I would like to seize the opportunity to thank all of our charity ’s volunteers who work tirelessly in local communities, supporting patients and their families through some of their hardest and most vulnerable times.

Across the country, they give close to a million hours every year to support the public at events. That is over 100 years’ worth of hours given selflessly and without expectation of praise.

Many of your readers will, I am certain, have good reason to join me in thanking our volunteers for their medical care. Some will undoubtedly

owe their lives to these everyday heroes.

In addition to our frontline first aid provision, St John’s impact would not be possible without all the teams whose work happens quietly in the background, away from spotlight.

I would like to take this moment to celebrate those volunteers in support roles across our whole organisation for making it all possible. I am also grateful to our young people and their leaders, plus other volunteers such as advocates and first responders, along with the teams of volunteer managers.

I am also very conscious of the superb support given to

our volunteers by their own families. Without this support, St John Ambulance just could not function.

Through the Champion I want to thank all concerned publicly for all that they achieve; for their family spirit, kindness and dedication, and for representing the values that have been the very foundation of St John throughout all its 900 years of history.

I am immensely proud to be part of this organisation in Merseyside and my thanks are not just for Volunteers’ Week but for every week in every year.

Martin Amlôt, St John Ambulance

Clean car... and an ice cream!

Southport Fire Cadets would like to thank all of the drivers who brought their cars to Southport Fire and Ambulance Station 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.

Thank you all. We look forward to seeing you at the station open day which is being held on August 11.

Aaron, Beckie, Conor & Jacob, Southport Fire Cadets

Stop asking us if we want a plastic bag!

From six-pack black rings of plastic to plastic trays and carrier bags, our supermarkets are awash with plastic packaging that can only be used once then thrown away.

It’s getting into our oceans at an alarming rate and putting vulnerable species, precious wildlife and the entire ocean ecosystem at risk.

So why, oh why, am I still being asked “do you want a plastic bag?” at the checkouts?

I take a cotton bag with me. It’s really not difficult.

My vote and my shopping trips will go to the supermarket refusing to sell all plastic bags at the checkout.

C.C, Ainsdale, by email

Jim’s right - railway catering has gone off I agree with Jim Sharpe (One Man & His Dog) Champion about the sad decline of railway catering.

Thirty years ago I was a regular on that Liverpool Street to Norwich line. From their tiny, rocking galley, the restaurant car crew would cook and serve a proper hot meal.

Passengers going to Colchester got three courses, drinks and coffee all within the journey. They didn’t even need a first class ticket, just to pay a tenner or so for the meal.

I found this so impressive that I pitched the idea of a TV documentary series to the BBC, featuring the restaurant car crew and various other professional travellers I had met.

“No,” said the BBC, “nobody

wants to watch that sort of thing.”

Now the TV schedules are stuffed with series about airlines, airports, railways, stations, cruise liners and so on.

Today you need a first class ticket to get at-seat catering. And what do you get? On an early evening Virgin train to Glasgow last week, ‘dinner ’ was a small rice salad in a cardboard box, a packet of crisps, a banana and a biscuit.

Even though I had a really cheap, cut-price ticket, I did not think this was much of a bargain. What should have been a treat was just a disappointment.

Adrian Tayler, Skelmersdale

Gala fun day was such a success Ainsdale Civic Society wish to thank all our helpers and our wonderful traders who joined in to make our annual Gala Fun Day such a success.

We had a fabulous day despite the rain when hundreds came to join us for a good old fashioned family day out.

And, of course, thank you to the residents of Ainsdale for supporting our event.

Lagoon plan for Southport was utterly ludicrous The front page headlines of the June 7 issue of the Southport Champion states that the tidal lagoon plan has been sunk by the apparent abandonment of another scheme at Swansea.

They may both have been referred to as ‘tidal lagoons’ but they were vastly different in nature.

Based upon the published information the plan for Swansea seems to me to be fully feasible, well planned and costed and would likely have been a great success.

The plan for Southport is, and always will be, utterly ludicrous to anybody familiar with the local beach in the slightest.

Having visited many coastal areas over the years I have seen dozens of places where a tidal lagoon or similar, if it were to be granted planning permission, could be built, but at Southport? Never.

The list of adverse conditions is seemingly endless: total absence of water most of the time; too shallow at low tide unless the turbines were fitted at least 6 to 7 miles out from the coastal road (four miles is plainly inadequate as I've walked out on the sand several times that far); too large an area; sediment in the water would settle in the lagoon in large quantities, the permeable and changeable nature of the beach; the vast quantity of materials required; the exposure of the structure to wind and wave action especially during construction; the final end of any semblance of a sandy beach; the uselessness of the shallow, encircled waters as they gradually developed into a huge area of thick mud.

As to the design and installation of turbines needed to cope with the quantity of water involved for a tidal difference of as much as 32 feet every 12 hours, you would need to consult an experienced engineer for any opinion. I presume that the inventors of this scheme have already done this. If so, I think he will still be laughing.

I look forward to seeing plans put onto the drawing board within my lifetime that are both feasible and totally sensible albeit with the requirement for a great deal of cooperation between the appropriate bodies, such as the reinstatement of the Burscough Curves railway lines, a bridge/embankment across to the Fylde (which could perhaps even include turbines to harness the river Ribble and the tide) and the development of the unused railway land between London, Tulketh and Virginia Streets. I readily admit that getting any one of these proposals started, let alone completed would be a Herculean task but each is possible and beneficial, unlike the wacky tidal lagoon.

John Lee Southport

We’re still in the EU! Mr Nuttall’s letter ‘Britain is booming’ fails to say that Britain is still in the EU. Since the referendum our currency has devalued by 16%, and grocery inflation is running at over 25% and some 30,000 jobs are about to go in the retail sector.

But look on the bright side - we will soon be building our own defence satellites so that our military can continue to defend our shores at a considerable price.

I would like to know what Mr Paul Nuttall has achieved as a UKIP MEP and why his attendance in the European Parliament is reportedly one of the lowest ?

Lindsay Flower holding a taster session

Lindsay hoping hedgehog friend can help spike children’s interest in yoga

by Danielle Thompson A YOGA teacher is hoping that her prickly little hedgehog friend will encourage more children to take up the practice.

Lindsay Flower from Birkdale has just set up her own small business, Wobbly Tree Yoga, running classes for youngsters and adults in a variety of settings including schools, nurseries, children’s centres and soft play areas, as well as one-off events at libraries and local festivals.

To coincide with the launch of her new venture, established with the help of the Smarta Business Starter initiative run by the Alt Valley Community Trust, mum-of-three Lindsay has written a book about Doris the Hedgehog which is designed to introduce yoga to children in a

Lindsay Flower with her book, Doris the Hedgehog

fun and safe way. At the beginning of the book, Doris is shy and lonely and longs to make friends.

The story then shows her yoga journey as, with the help of a little girl she meets, she finds the courage to become Super Doris.

Lindsay, who has been practising yoga for ten years, believes that the activity can have a very positive effect on people’s physical, emotional and mental wellbeing.

She explained: “Children can become desensitised to their surroundings due to the development of technology, and as a result many are more prone to anxiety and stress than ever.

That’s where yoga can help. It’s all about slowing down and learning to move in a way that helps us to become more in tune with our bodies and our environment.”

She has been running taster sessions and Doris book readings at venues across the area, and she’s been delighted with the response so far.

“All the feedback has been really positive,” she said. “The classes are different from most of the other activities the children are involved in, as they are encouraged to take time out from everything that’s going on around them.”

Crime commissioner extends Victim Support Fund by three more years Merseyside Police Commissioner Kennedy

MERSEYSIDE'S Police Commissioner has marked the third anniversary of a victim support fund by agreeing to sanction it for another three years with plans to spend £3million to help even more people.

Jane Kennedy launched Victim Care Merseyside in 2015 and so far more than 19,000 vulnerable victims of crime have been given specialist, tailored support and

Report by Tom Martin advice. Additionally, more than 15,000 young people have taken part in group sessions to increase their awareness of exploitation and how to protect themselves, while 4,300 professionals have been trained to increase their understanding of crimes involving children and what action to take if they fear a child is at risk.

Today (Wednesday) Victim Care Merseyside was commissioned for another three years, and Police Commissioner Kennedy has revealed how some of the

support will help families who have lost a loved one through homicide or crimerelated road traffic collisions and victims of hate crime.

She said: “I’m pleased that over the last three years, Victim Care Merseyside has provided more than 19,000 victims of crime with the specialist support they need to help them to become survivors.

“When somebody is subjected to a traumatic experience, it is only right they get the best possible care and support to help them on the road to recovery.

“These are still early days in the commissioning of local support services for victims, so it is right that I keep this under review to make sure we are delivering

what is needed. Crime too is constantly evolving, so I want to make sure we are meeting the needs of victims today, and in the future.

“That’s why, last year I took the decision to fully review the Victim Care Merseyside service to make sure it still fits the bill and whether any improvements could be made.

“As we mark the third anniversary, I’m delighted to not only celebrate Victim Care Merseyside’s achievements so far, but also relaunch the refreshed service which will continue to deliver many vital services, but also offer new and enhanced support for some of the most vulnerable people.”

A trip to Liverpool would not be complete without a ferry across the Mersey.

So what better way to enjoy a sail on the river than by evening cruise - complete with onboard entertainment and a licensed bar!

But rather than just go across the Mersey, this particular journey took us along the river, past the Iron Men at Crosby and almost as far as Formby Point before returning and heading back to port where the magnificent sight of the Three Graces awaits the traveller.

You could just imagine how passengers on those great ships of yesteryear must have felt as they approached the ’pool.

The skyline has changed much over the years with the modern meeting the past, but the spectacle of nearing these great landmarks never fails to impress.

The illuminated Dazzle ferry

This particular summer cruise on an early, balmy June evening was to last two hours – and it sailed by.

It was one of a programme of evening cruises taking place on Friday and Saturday nights and designed to bring the River Mersey alive... with the sound of music and merriment!

First phase of work at Lime Street station completed

I’m not ashamed to say Trooping of the Colour made me proud to be British YES, yes I know this is a week late - but again I can only blame copy deadlines.

Anyway, I watched the highlights of this year’s Trooping of the Colour for the Queen’s official birthday (I confess I forgot to set my recorder for the full event) and was, as usual, overcome by the performance of what is recognised to be the best military display of its type in the world.

And yes, it does make me proud to be British.

Could you imagine the Americans or the French (or any other nation for that matter) being able to put on such a meticulous and truly splendid display?

And these are not special ‘show-off ’ troops kept and trained solely for special events. These are men who fight for Queen and Country and attempt to keep the peace in quite dreadful parts of the world.

This year it was the turn of the Coldstream Guards to troop their colours in front of Her Majesty, but there were no representatives of the Welsh Guards on hand because they are presently rather preoccupied in Afghanistan, a place not on most folks’ holiday list.

Although I must confess that when I first saw the troops lined up on Horseguards Parade I was perhaps a tad disappointed. Not at their smartness and performance, but at the sheer numbers of soldiery on display. I remember watching this event way back in the 1950s, and though as a youngster things sometimes perhaps did look bigger, I’m pretty certain that there were several more ranks of men involved then.

Mind you, those days we didn’t have gaps between scrapping one aircraft carrier and commissioning its replacement; nor have to put it into service before we had any actual aircraft to fly from it! How long, I wonder, will it be before people ask “where is the frigate?” when talking about the Royal Navy.

But none of this detracts from the unique Trooping of the Colour, and coming as it did this year only three weeks after the equally impressive spectacle of the Royal Wedding it reinforced my belief that Great Britain - England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - have a heritage well worth preserving.

I reckon that events such as these also show that we, as a nation, are quite capable of lifting ourselves above the norm when we put our minds to it. And the simple fact that millions of folk around the world tune in their TVs to watch them, surely means that others suspect that too.

Which is why I voted to leave the dreadfully dull European Union, complete with its unelected officialdom, awful dedication to forms of action and self-serving rules.

Ever since the referendum, Remoaners have systematically undermined any attempt actually to get on with getting out until we got to where we are now with a spineless leadership apparently willing to accept any compromise forced on us by our French and German ‘partners.’

Many, many citizens of both France and Germany too are sick of the so-called European Union, which is rarely united about anything anyway.

Odd, isn’t it, that even the most staunch Remoaner doesn’t bang on about how we really should join the Euro.

All of which has led me a long way from Horseguards, but I am not ashamed to confess, both when watching the Royal Wedding and the Trooping of the Colour that I do feel a swelling of unfashionable patriotism.

THE first phase of upgrades at Liverpool Lime Street railway station have been completed.

Some of the work now finished by Network Rail engineers includes building the concrete foundations for platform extensions, overhead line re-wiring, platform surfacing, track drainage, track renewals and track remodelling.

Platforms 1and 2 reopened on Monday, June 11 and will remain open until Friday, July 13.

This forms a key part of the transportation plan to keep passengers moving, with direct services to run between Liverpool Lime Street and Manchester Victoria and Wigan for onward connections to Preston, Blackpool, Yorkshire and the North East.

Liam Robinson, Transport Portfolio Holder for Liverpool City Region said: “We’re really pleased to see the first stage of the upgrade at Lime Street Station completed on time and

would like to thank passengers for their patience and remind them to plan ahead before they travel, while the rest of the essential work takes place.”

Liverpool Lime Street’s major transformation will be fully complete in October this year. This work will enable an extra three services in/out of Lime Street every hour, including new direct services to Scotland.

Remodelling and rebuilding station platforms will provide longer, more spacious platforms capable of accommodating longer trains and more passengers, more safely.

Many mainline services, for example Birmingham, London, Crewe, Runcorn, Manchester and Sheffield, continue to start/terminate at Liverpool South Parkway, with Merseyrail services running every 15 minutes to/from Liverpool city centre.

threatening version of the HMRC scam was received by a Sefton resident.

“They warned the recipient by a call on her mobile that she was due to appear in court.

“She was told to ring a given number and the caller insisted she must comply as she was under surveillance.

Luckily she was aware of the scam and didn’t respond.

“There has been a rise in reports of bogus callers in the Sefton area.

“In one incident a lady handed over £120 in cash to the suspect for cleaning the gutters of her property.

“The man made the excuse he would come back after he had been for his lunch.

“The work on the gutters was not started and he did not return. The suspect claimed to be working on a property being renovated next door, this was not true.

“If you have a porch door it is advisable to keep it locked and speak to any unknown caller through the glass.

“It is easier to say ‘no’ to any bogus officials, workmen or cold caller if you have a closed door between you and them. Also you and your property are kept safer by the locked door.”

by Danielle Thompson SOUTHPORT Meols Rotary Club has pledged to support a small local charity with a big heart.

Amy ’s Swag is a tiny organisation of just eleven volunteers, and is the legacy of Amy Holcroft, from Southport. During her battle with cancer, her spirits were lifted by the kindness of friends who made up bags of goodies for her in hospital to give her some comfort during her treatment.

She came to look forward to what she called her ‘Swag’ bags and they gave her a real boost when she needed it the most.

Sadly, she passed away from the disease aged just 23, eight years ago, but her mum, Carol and a small band of friends wanted to carry on the tradition and formed Amy’s Swag so that other young people could find some comfort in their worst times.

There are a number of organisations that offer a similar service, but most are either for children or older adults. Amy’s Swag is aimed at the 18-24 year old age group and everything they receive is used to help make a

small difference to these young people as they fight this terrible disease.

Each Swag bag is stuffed with items to ease, entertain and soothe. The bags also include a journal and pen, ideal for jotting down thoughts or plans.

Southport Meols Rotary Club connected with Amy’s Swag when Carol was asked to go along to a meeting in order to explain a little about their activities. The Rotary members were so touched by the presentation that the whole Amy ’s Swag team were invited to a special presentation evening when club president, Ged Whittle presented them with a cheque for £300 and offered them a raft of ongoing assistance including supporting their attic sale and Christmas collections.

Amy Holcroft's mum, Carol, from Amy's Swag and the president of Southport Meols Rotary Club, Ged Whittle

Ged said: “Amy ’s Swag really struck a chord with our club members. Most people are touched by cancer in one way or another and as this is the only group in the area that offers this type of support for young adults we were delighted to be able to make a difference and lend our own support to this hardworking team.”

Carol, speaking for Amy’s Swag said: “We are thrilled to receive such a generous donation of £300 from Southport Meols Rotary. This donation means a great deal to us as it

will provide lots of lovely treats to go in our Swag Bags which will then be passed on to young people undergoing cancer treatment.

“Our aim is to offer these young people some comfort during a very low period in their lives and our Swag Bags have been gratefully welcomed by them. We hope to continue this service long into the future and are delighted that Southport Meols Rotary have offered us their kind support.”

INSTANT DECISION

A YOUNG darts player from Southport is arrowing in on national glory after winning a major junior championship.

Sam Cromwell won the Pontins Red Dragon Welsh Open Boys Singles title beating Killan Heffernan of Ireland 3-1 in the final.

It is the latest success for the 17-year-old who only got involved in the sport initially by chance when he started practising with two of his cousins who were already keen players.

At the age of 11 he joined a local men’s team at the former London pub in the town and a year later the former Birkdale High School pupil reached the final of the Southport men’s individuals.

He currently plays for his local team at the Phoenix pub and is also a member of the Southport Superleague squad.

After being invited to join the Lancashire youth squad at 12, Sam later progressed to represent England North youth squad against England South and then became a full England Youth international.

At just 14 he took on former world champion Keith Deller in an exhibition match and beat him in front of a large audience.

Meanwhile his consistently high averages with the town’s Superleague team saw Sam

Welsh Open Boys champion Sam Cromwell.

picked to play for Lancashire County men’s B team.

And, having gained experience with the B squad he then stepped up to the A team for whom he is a current regular player.

After winning a national youth tournament in Skipsea last year, Sam started to realise individual success was within his grasp.

He is currently in his second year of playing on the PDC youth development tour and has just returned from playing in Ger-

many where he has more than held his own against some of the best players in Europe.

Fortunately Sam now also has a sponsorship deal. He is playing in competitions around the country most weekends and the sponsorship enables him to do that without worrying about the cost of travel and entry fees etc.

Sam and his cousin Tom Cromwell are currently Southport doubles champions, winning the event two years running.

CRICKET fans are used to having matches abandoned because of rain - but it was the recent hot dry weather which caused a match at Southport & Birkdale CC to be called off last week.

The Trafalgar Road ground was hosting a three day match between Lancashire Second XI and Yorkshire Second XI but on the second morning of the game umpires declared the match be abandoned after they thought the pitch was unfit to play on as it could be dangerous for the batsmen.

The decision may have surprised spectators at the ground, particularly as Lancashire’s batsmen had themselves scored 2663 declared the previous day.

The match was being played on a newly laid pitch that had been developed over the last two

Southport & Birkdale CC will host a Lancashire county championship match later this summer.

years, and it had deteriorated overnight after the end of day one of the match.

Club officials said the “rapid deterioration of the pitch was down to the extremely persistent dry and hot conditions, which were more severe than anyone had expected or forecast.”

They added: “The umpires decided that in the best interest of the batsmen, to abandon play on the second morning of the fixture.”

Yorkshire had been dismissed for 75 and were 6-1 following on in their second innings when the match was abandoned.

Club officials appear to have been taken by surprise them-

selves by the situation as earlier that day they had put messages on social media telling people to go to the ground to enjoy the game with a bar open from 11am and refreshment facilities open They stressed that the Specsavers County Championship match between Lancashire and Worcestershire starting on Wednesday, August 29 at the ground will go ahead, as the match will be played on the more established first pitch which has successfully hosted regular county fixtures during the last few seasons. l Local cricket round-up see Champion Sport

Quilts donated to Ormskirk Hospital which were made with the help of the Rotary Club of Ormskirk Clocktower

Rotary Club get creative to comfort sick children

By Danielle Thompson A ROTARY club has given its support to a group of local quilt makers using their skills to benefit sick babies and children at Ormskirk Hospital.

The quilters had approached the Rotary Club of Ormskirk Clocktower to ask for financial support for their new venture to make quilts for new-borns and youngsters receiving treatment at the hospital.

The first batch of 50 quilts were delivered to the staff on

the neo-natal unit at Ormskirk Hospital and were gratefully received.

The next batch of quilts are underway and it is hoped to make at least 100 a year so each baby can be given a hand-made quilt.

The project is linked to the international charity The Linus Project which began in the US when founder Karen Loucks read a newspaper article about how much a comfort blanket had helped a child cancer victim.

Sue Wilson, President of The Rotary Club of Ormskirk Clocktower, said: “It’s often a very stressful time when your son or daughter is ill, so we

wanted to show families that the local community care.

“The local quilters have done a fantastic job of making beautiful handmade quilts which will be used on the babies’ cots whilst they are in hospital and taken home with them when they are discharged.”

If you would like to help in any way with this project, get in touch via the Rotary Club of Ormskirk Clocktower website and use the contact menu.

The quilting group would appreciate donations so they can buy fabric and thread and would welcome the help of anyone who can sew.

Local suppliers urged to get on board Mersey Ferry plans

‘Call for housing sites’ and %URZQà HOG /DQG 5HJLVWHU

Report by Tom Martin LOCAL businesses in Southport and Formby have been urged to find out more about working on Liverpool's new Mersey Ferry.

Steve Rotheram, Liverpool City Region Metro Mayor, has announced an event to help local suppliers get involved in the huge project.

The networking event will bring together local businesses and major maritime partners following Merseytravel's plans to procure a new ferry at the end of last year.

Metro mayor Rotheram said: “I made it clear from the beginning that we need to maximise the opportunities for our excellent local supply chain when it comes to commissioning our new Mersey Ferry.

“That’s why I’ve asked Merseytravel to hold a supplier engagement event where we can introduce local businesses to some of the maritime industry ’s major shipyards both locally and from across the rest of the UK and Europe.

“We want to make sure local businesses are involved in conversations around the new ferry right from the start.

“Ensuring that our projects have social as well as economic value, is an integral part to the work of the Combined Authority.”

During the networking event,

Metro mayor Steve Rotheram with Liam Robinson, Transport Portfolio Holder for the Liverpool City Region

suppliers will receive more details on the plans, as well as get a chance to give their feedback on the proposals for the new ferry including procurement timescales, processes and architects initial designs.

The Liverpool City Region Metro Mayor hopes it will give smaller, local suppliers a chance to meet with companies from the maritime industry who may be interested in submitting official proposals when the tending process starts later in the year.

He continued: “It’s an open invitation to all suppliers, one which demonstrates how committed the City Region is to

continuing the legacy of the iconic Mersey Ferries.

“I’d really encourage any companies interested in the future of the Mersey Ferries to come along to find out our plans.”

The procurement process for the new vessel is being managed by Merseytravel who will be seeking passenger’s views on the design of the new ferry before it comes into full service from 2021.

Companies interested in attending Merseytravel’s supplier engagement event onJuly 11 at Mann Island can register their interest at www.thechest.org.uk or email tender@merseytravel.gov.uk

Abnormal bulging in the legs or varicose veins are a relatively common ailment, according to one study 1 in 4 men and 1 in 3 women suffer from a form of varicose veins during their life time. To have better insight to this condition I recently had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Iraj Zeynali, consultant vascular surgeon and also founder and owner of North West Vein clinic, a private medical institution which deals primarily with varicose veins.

BEFORE

What are varicose veins?

Healthy veins contain one-way valves that open and close to assist blood in returning to the heart. Any condition that results in the malfunction of these valves will result in a reflux of the blood away from the heart toward legs. This in turn puts pressure on smaller veins and ultimately results in the formation of varicose veins.

Is having varicose veins painful or dangerous?

In a vast majority of cases, patients with varicose veins are usually symptom free and the main complaint often relates to how unaesthetic the condition is. Dependent on the degree of incompetence and the specific type of varicose veins the patient is suffering from symptoms may include: aching, pain, itchiness, swollen and heavy limbs especially post strenuous activities. If this condition remains untreated it can result in a brownish pigmentation of the skin, Dryness and thinning of the skin, phlebitis and eventually ulceration.

AFTER

What treatments are available?

What can be seen on the surface of the skin is only the tip of the iceberg in essence; the real problem usually lies deeper within the skin in bigger veins. The modern treatment of varicosities is based on a good understanding

of the direction of blood flow in these veins.

Use of Ultrasound scanning of the limbs can show the actual flow and any abnormalities present in the vein, which aids the specialist in diagnosis and proper treatment of the patient.

A majority of cases involve the sealing of the culprit vein via radiofrequency ablation or laser treatment. These procedures are minimally invasive and are done under local anaesthetic. These could be combined with Sclerotherapy (injection of chemicals into the vein which make it disappear) or multiple stab avulsion: the removal of the vein via tiny incisions.

What feedback do you get from customers post-op?

In the words of one of my patients” Mr Zeynali operated on my problematic varicose veins with Keyhole surgery. From arriving at the clinic to leaving the theatre after surgery everyone was brilliant. Mr Zeynali talked me through the procedure and he and the staff made sure I was at ease with it all. I have got my leg back at last. I cannot thank Mr Zeynali and his team enough. I would totally recommend him to all. A.B.

Is varicose vein surgery painful?

This purely depends on the type of surgery.

However with the modern treatments offered at north west clinic most patients feel little , if any pain and often return to normal daily activities within one or two days.

How long is the average procedure?

This depends on the extent of varicose veins and the type of treatment but on average most procedures typically last about 45 minutes

Computer courses to help unemployed

Some of the staff, service users and family members who attended Brookdale Resource Centre’s ‘thank you’ event for carers

Carers enjoy a cuppa at musical tea party!

STAFF from a specialist day service for residents with dementia held a musical strawberry tea party this week to say ‘thank you’ to the carers of its clients.

Family and friends of service users at Brookdale Resource Centre, in Ainsdale, turned out in force for the afternoon event, which featured entertainment by popular Lancashire-based entertainer Mike Palmer, alias The Lounge Singer.

Guests were able to choose from a wide range of strawberry desserts including strawberry gateau, strawberry

tarts, strawberry cupcakes and the ever-popular strawberries and cream as they enjoyed Mike’s selection of musical memories.

Staff at the centre, run by Sefton adult social care provider New Directions organised the strawberry tea to link in with Carers Week, the annual campaign which recognises the contribution made by carers to families and communities, and also highlights the challenges they face.

Brookdale service manager Salwa Moustafa said: “The weather was kind to us this year

and the event proved to be a great success, with service users and their guests all tucking into the first-class spread and having a really enjoyable time.

“The strawberry tea also enabled us to show our support for Carers Week which recognises the efforts of the estimated 6.5 million people across the UK who care unpaid for an ill, frail or disabled family member or friend.

“This event was our way of saying a big ‘thank you’ to the people who do such a fantastic job of caring for our Brookdale clients when they’re at home.”

FREE computer and employability sessions are being held in Southport for those who are currently unemployed.

Staff at a new project called Include-IT Mersey, funded by the Big Lottery and European Social Fund, are running the free courses for people aged 40 and older alongside training partners across Merseyside.

The courses are around 12 weeks in length and offer basic computer skills with assistance with job search and CV writing.

Participants get refreshments, lunch and travel expenses to and from the course.

They are running the

courses in Southport at Parenting 2000 on Mondays from 9.30am-3pm.

They are also running digital drop in sessions at The Atkinson in Southport from 1-3pm on Mondays and from 10am-1pm on Wednesdays.

Members of the public can come along for free support with either the library computers or their own devices.

If people are interested, the Digital Champion volunteers can take their details to go onto a course too.

The drop in sessions are manned solely by volunteers whereas the courses have a paid and qualified tutor teaching the class.

Classes are kept small,

The free courses are being held for those aged 40 and older who are unemployed

between five and eight people and start right at the beginning and work at the learners' own pace.

ENTERTAINMENT

Choir to perform popular work

THE Southport Bach Choir Summer Concert this Saturday (June 23) at 7.30pm at Holy Trinity Church on Hoghton Street will feature the ever-popular Carmina Burana by Carl Orff along with a new work by Jonathan Dove written to be a companion piece to the Orff.

Both pieces are scored by two piano and percussion accompaniment.

They will be joined by the Boys of Holy Trinity Church Choir as well as soloists from the Royal Northern College of Music.

Spotlights take on Manilow show

Chance to hear Broadway spectacular SOUTHPORT Orchestra presented its first concert of the 2018 season earlier this year to a capacity audience at St. John’s Church, Birkdale.

Under the baton of their resident conductor Jeff Rimmer and led by their principal violinist Melanie Foster the 65-strong orchestra featured three classical pieces of music composed by Otto Nicolai (The Merry Wives of Windsor), Carl Reinecke (Flute Concerto in D Major Op 283) and Johannes Brahms (Symphony No. 3 in F Major Op 90).

Aimed at pleasing the tastes and preferences of a wide audience of classical music lovers the programme was clearly well received, beginning with

The Merry Wives of Windsor featuring the overture to a three-act opera based upon Shakespeare’s comic play.

A highlight for many was the Flute Concerto, brilliantly performed by the orchestra’s very own leader of the flute section Jane Pembleton-Smyth.

Set in three intricate movements Jane astounded the audience by impeccably playing the whole concerto from memory! Brahms’ Symphony No. 3 is a challenging piece of music for any orchestra, demanding a high standard of musicianship from everyone involved.

Southport Orchestra rose to the challenge and the result was a superbly crafted performance at St John’s of all four movements, thrilling both

audience and players alike.

Southport Orchestra’s next performance will be a Broadway spectacular at The Floral Hall, located in the Southport Theatre and Convention Centre on Southport’s Promenade, on Sunday, July 22 starting at 2.30 pm.

Tickets are now available at the box office and online. Both the timing and content of this concert are aimed at an all-age audience featuring a selection of music from such classics as Gypsy, West Side Story, Chicago and Les Miserables while starring a number of solo performers and the 80-strong Woodlands Junior Choir from Formby who last performed with the orchestra in 2016.

FOOD GREAT MUSIC & LIVE

MEMBERS of Southport Spotlights are to present Barry Manilow's Copacabana at the Little Theatre, Hoghton Street, Southport from June 27-30.

The plot centres around Stephen, a present day aspiring songwriter, who is in the midst of writing a new hit.

The song he is writing tells the story of Lola: fresh off the plane from Tulsa, she arrives in New York with dreams of becoming a star.

Tony is the bartender/composer who falls in love with her and helps her become a dancer at the famous Copacabana nightclub.

Lola, of course, attracts the amorous attentions of gangster, Rico, who is determined to possess her regardless of the consequences.

With beautiful ballads, Southport Spotlights are pleased to be presenting the show.

I’ve spent days living and breathing Morris Minors!

MORRIS Minors. I feel like I’ve spent the past few days living and breathing them – but that’s no bad thing.

I’ve been helping to put together a 12-page newspaper supplement to mark the Moggy’s 70th anniversary, and apart from my eyes going square from all the proofreading in front of computer screens, a couple of things have really jumped out.

Chiefly, it’s one of the few truly old-school classic cars (by which I mean ones with chokes, chrome bumpers and an appetite for Castrol 20w50) that you can still pick up for buttons, and it’ll be welcomed into virtually any car show across the land. The other thing is that because it was the first British car to sell over a million, and with roughly 14,000 of them still on Britain’s roads today, virtually everyone with even the vaguest interest in old cars has a Morris Minor story. Including me.

Even though I’ve never owned a Moggy, I very nearly bought one at the age of 16 – well, technically we very nearly bought one, as I would have been part of a car-loving consortium of petrolheads too young and too skint to know any better.

The Morris in question was a slightly crusty two-door 1000, being advertised by a chap in Ainsdale for ‘offers’.

Four of us got distracted enough from our GCSE revision

to seriously think about sticking in an offer for it, and things ended up going far enough that two of us ended up going to view the car, without a clue about remedying rotting sills or replacing its kingpins. It was almost certainly a long and expensive restoration in waiting, but in my head it’d be up and running in six months, perhaps with its 1098cc A-series lump replaced with an MG Midget’s engine and some electronic ignition to make it go as well as it’d eventually look.

In the end the logistics of sharing a car between four people – namely, whose name would go on the registration document – undid the deal long before we put a proper offer in and the car went to someone older and more sensible, but I’ve always had a soft spot for the Moggy ever since. It is one of those cars that seems to go on and on, propelled by a legion of people who love fettling with them on Sunday mornings and taking them to shows. Anyone see that scene in Blade Runner 2049 where one person still has a Volkswagen Beetle in an impossibly futuristic Los Angeles? I imagine it’d be the same if they’d set it in Liverpool, only with a Morris 1000, of course. Probably with me still trying to buy it.

Tommy Fleetwood finished second in the US Open.

Tommy so close to major victory with record last round at US Open Report by Henry James TOMMY Fleetwood says his second place finish at the US Open on Sunday is proof that he has it in him to win a major.

The Southport golfer was only one shot off from forcing a play-off with the eventual winner Brooks Koepka, after his stunning last round of a seven under par score of 63 which was the joint-lowest in the history of the event.

It was the 27-year-old’s highest finish in a major and he then had to wait three hours at Shinnecock Hills course in New York to see if would be a winning score.

Fleetwood had a run of four consecutive birdies from the 12th to 15th, and also had birdie chances at the 16th and 18th holes, but was just unable to convert them.

Fleetwood collected $1.3m by finishing second on two over par and his world ranking has now moved up two places from number 12 in the world to number 10.

He is only one of six players to shoot 63 in the US Open and the other five include illustrious names such as: Jack Nicklaus, Johnny Miller, Tom Weiskopf, Vijay Singh and Justin Thomas.

Fleetwood and Miller are the only two people to score 63 in the final round.

Fleetwood was asked about the putt on the 18th and said: “That putt will play on your mind

www.champnews.com

because it was the last shot you hit, but during the week I made some putts and I missed some “It was good to get close to winning a major again and I will take that away from this week.

“The 62 was more on my mind than where we were in the tournament coming through the last few holes.

“It was very cool to be up there and very special to shoot a 63 at the US Open.

“I had a great stretch on the back nine when I did not miss any putts.

“We had said at the start of the day that if we were to shoot the greatest score in the US Open then we would have a chance.”

Fleetwood had been tied fourth after the first two rounds and said he was playing with confidence, but had a 78 in the third round, which was a day when many of the players struggled.

He added: “It’s just more proof I can get up there.

“I did it a bit differently this time, because I struggled and fell away a bit in the third round but came back really well.

“Overall, it’s another great week.

“I have been playing consistently without any really big results and this one came out of the blue a little bit with a great performance on Sunday but there are so many positives.

“You’re always going to be a bit disappointed to come up one short in a major but I’ll give it another go.”
