NEW HOSPITAL COULD BE BUILT IN RADICAL VISION FOR FUTURE OF NHS TRUST

Other options include centralising adult and children’s A&E at one site with non-urgent services at the other

Exclusive report by Danielle Thompson A NEW hospital could be built between Southport and Ormskirk as part of radical plans to improve health services floated by local NHS trust chiefs.

Another option put forward is to centralise most services at one ‘hot’ site and the other being used as a ‘cold’ site for non-urgent and specialised services.

The independent report by Northern England Clinical Chief executive of Southport and Ormskirk Hospital NHS Trust, Silas Nicholls, inset, has outlined his vision .

Nursery staff rally to help little Edie after youngster is diagnosed with rare brain tumour

by Danielle Thompson STAFF at a Southport nursery were so touched by the plight of a co-worker’s daughter after she was diagnosed with a brain tumour, that they are holding a special fundraiser for her next month.

The team at the Big Picture Nursery on Scarisbrick New Road are holding a summer fete from 10am-2pm on Saturday, July 21, in aid of three year old Edith May Molyneux, from their sister nursery on the Wirral.

Edith, known as Edie, has a diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPG), a highly aggressive and difficult to treat brain tumour found at the base of the brain.

The Big Picture is part of the Just Childcare chain, which Edie attends and her mum Ashleigh works for at one of their nurseries on the Wirral.

Her mum and dad, Stephen, have launched a fundraising

campaign, the Spider-Ede Appeal, to raise approximately £700,000 to cover the cost of flights and potentially life-saving treatment for her in Mexico, including specialised chemotherapy and immunotherapy.

Marie Kerr, the manager of the Big Picture Nursery said: “It's

called the Spider-Ede appeal as Edie adores Spiderman!

“All of the nurseries that are run

by Just Childcare were very touched by her story so we are all doing events, from bake sales to raffles and sports events. We do a summer fete every year so we are doing that and it will include food, face paints, special guests, stalls and games including hooka-duck. Stalls are £10, contact us at the nursery to arrange to host one.”

Proposal to merge hospital services backed by councillor and former MP Pugh ‘Carving up A&E between two sites was historic mistake’ From page 1. especially in relation to urgent care and step-down facilities for frail, elderly patients.

For paediatric services, Ormskirk offers easier access across a wider area and fewer children and young people and their families would have to travel – but in this option, there would need to be a paediatric triage site in Southport with children and young people requiring admission needing to travel to Ormskirk.

The case for Southport as the 'hot' site offers the opportunity for the development of Ormskirk as a 'cold' site where the quality of estate and readily available theatre and bed capacity mean that a centre of excellence for elective work for the current population and nearby providers facing waiting time and bed capacity challenges.

However, the relocation of maternity and paediatric services to the Southport site could bring a significant risk that expectant mothers could choose to deliver in Wigan, Whiston or Liverpool leading dropping levels to make services unsustainable.

The report found that overall, Ormskirk was the 'marginally better' proposed 'hot site' – unless additional capacity was available for maternity and paediatric inpatient services in neighbouring providers. In this case, the report found that this 'fundamentally changed' the preferable 'hot' option back to Southport, which would then be chosen with a “closer proximity to its frail elderly population” as well as the potential to turn Ormskirk into a ‘cold’ site ‘centre of excellence.’

Ultimately the poor quality of the Southport site means that it would need further redevelopment in the medium term regardless of the services provided from it as a ‘hot’ or ‘cold’ site.

Dukes Ward Councillor John Pugh, who campaigned as the Southport MP against plans to carve up services across the two sites since they were first

The scene of the accident on London Street.

Councillor and former MP John Pugh.

floated in 1999, backs Southport as the ‘hot’ site.

He said: “In briefings I have received from local NHS executives, it has been made clear that the age profile of the population and many other practical considerations tip the balance in favour of Southport. Many of us have always favoured and fought for making Southport the 'hot' site.

“It was a historic mistake to carve up major services like A&E between sites and it is not unrealistic to hope to see children’s injuries treated once more in Southport. That would be a big plus in what is likely to be for some time a pretty complicated picture.

“The long term plans for the Trust depend upon NHS England assisting the Trust financially to remodel its facilities. We have learnt the painful lesson in Southport never to count our chickens so far as the local NHS is concerned. However, I believe, centralising services on the Southport site could be a huge step forward in meeting the challenges of an ageing population.”

Current set-up ‘financially unsustainable’ says report

From page 1. which has proved costly for a small hospital trust and added to its debt burden.

The Acute Sustainability Progress Report submitted alongside the Senate advice stated that the Trust has an annual turnover of £165 million with a deficit for 2017/18 of £34million.

It also states that the current service configuration is not 'clinically or financially sustainable.'

Silas Nicholls said: “Our patients demand the best care and deserve the best care.

“Even though many of us live healthier lives than ever before – we are seeing more and more people needing urgent care.

“That’s because of a huge change our community is under-going.

“In 1996, 14% of people in West Lancashire were aged 65 and over – by 2036 it is expected to be 28%.

In Sefton, the change is even more dramatic. People over 65 are projected to number 30% of the population compared with 18% 40 years earlier.

“Getting older means some people need more frequent care, especially those with long-term conditions like breathing difficulties or diseases more common in old age like dementia.

“It also means hospital buildings planned in the 1980s are not fit for the needs of today’s mainly older, frailer

patients.

“That’s why the Trust’s Board members support senior nurses and doctors’ view that our services need to change to make sure care continues to improve for the better and is fit for the future.

“How services could be organised in the future range from keeping services as they are, redeveloping and improving the hospital sites at both Southport and Ormskirk through to making the case for a new hospital.

“I have a huge ambition for hospital services in Southport, Formby and West Lancashire. I want to see patient care transformed, making it fit not just for the foreseeable future but for decades ahead.”

Elderly woman seriously injured in town centre accident Report by Danielle Thompson POLICE have launched an appeal for information after an elderly woman was seriously injured and two children also hurt in a road accident in Southport on Saturday, June 30.

The collision happened at around 4pm on London Street and involved a Skoda Fabia, a parked car and pedestrians.

A female pedestrian in her 70s remains in hospital for treatment of serious injuries.

Three people including two children were also treated for minor injuries. The driver of the Skoda stayed at the scene to help with enquiries.

The car had knocked over a traffic light and stopped partly on the pavement on London Street.

Constable Kurt Timpson from Matrix Roads Policing Unit said: “This collision occurred on a busy, sunny Saturday afternoon in a packed

town centre.

“Two children and two adult females sustained injuries, but it is only by sheer chance that more people were not hurt in this incident.

“It is important that we fully understand what caused this crash and I am keen to trace anybody who may be able to help our enquiries, who may have either seen the lead up to the crash or who may have dash-cam footage from their vehicles or CCTV footage from their premises.

“If we have not already spoken to you, please get in touch.

“The two young children involved thankfully only received minor injuries, but were understandably left distressed by what happened.”

Anyone who can help, especially with dashcam or CCTV evidence is asked to contact the police on 101, quoting reference number 18200135955, msg @MerPolCC or you can email 7002@merseyside.police.uk.

HILLSBOROUGH match commander David Duckenfield will face trial for the manslaughter of 95 Liverpool fans.

It was confirmed on Friday, June 29 that the former chief superintendent will be prosecuted after a decision by a High Court judge at Preston Crown Court.

In order for this to happen, an 18 year old ‘stay on his prosecution’ had to be lifted by the judge, Sir Peter Openshaw, who said: “I confirm that I grant the voluntary bill of indictment to allow prosecution against for manslaughter to proceed.”

In 1989, 96 Liverpool fans were unlawfully killed at the 1989 FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest after they were crushed.

Under the law at the time, there can be no prosecution for the death of the 96th victim, Tony Bland, because he

David Duckenfield

died more than a year and a day after his injuries were caused.

The trial of 73-year-old Duck-

enfield, who was match commander for the Liverpool game, is listed to start on September 10.

Four other men will also face trial on charges related to Hillsborough.

Also on trial will be former Sheffield Wednesday club secretary Graham Mackrell, who is charged with health and safety, and safety at sports grounds offences.

Former solicitor Peter Metcalf, and former police officers Donald Denton and Alan Foster are scheduled to go on trial in January 2019 charged with perverting the course of justice.

A hearing to determine whether former Chief Constable Sir Norman Bettison will be tried has been adjourned until August.

The Crown Prosecution Service applied to lift a historical stay, which is designed to halt further legal proceedings, on Mr Duckenfield which was put in place in 2000.

In his ruling on Friday, the judge said: “In respect of the defendant David Duckenfield I lift the stay.”

Animal lovers fear for ‘distressed’ dogs sold out of caravans on car park Concerns over puppies bought without paperwork or background checks

Kirsty Skinsley (left) with Donna, Anne, Caroline and Lee raising funds and awareness at last Sunday's family fun day hosted by The George Pub in support of Huntingdon's Disease charity Phil's Kids.

Community event raises £1,000 for Huntington’s charity

A COMMUNITY event has raised £1,100 for sufferers of a rare condition.

Kirsty Skinsley, 28, was diagnosed with Huntington's disease when she was 20 years old, which also affects her father and brother. It is a progressive brain disorder that causes uncontrolled movements, emotional problems and loss of thinking ability over time.

She held the family-friendly fund-raiser at the George pub on Duke Street in Southport recently to raise funds in honour of fellow sufferer EllieMae Morgan, from Hartlepool who died aged 16 from the disease in October 2014.

There was a DJ inside the pub, as well as an ice cream van, face paints, dog corner, bouncy castle, children’s characters and barbecue.

They raised funds for Phil's Kids, a charity which helps couples to have embryo treatment that means that they won't pass on the condition to their children. It is a charity that means a lot to Kirsty as she is herself undergoing IVF treatment with her partner Lee, 29, from Burscough, which would cost around £12,000 for just one attempt if done privately.

Just one round of genetically-screened IVF treatment is currently offered to couples who carry life-threatening illnesses; after this, they must pay for it themselves but the high cost means couples can often only afford to try it a few times.

The IVF treatment is twice as tricky for couples who are screening for genetic illnesses as there as two stages where it can fail. Firstly, when the eggs are harvested, there is a 50% chance that they will carry the genes and if all the eggs harvested are carriers, treatment will not continue. If they are lucky and the eggs are not carriers, the couple then continues but has to hope that they will implant in the lining of the womb, which does not always work.

Phil's Kids gives money to families whose first few attempts have not worked.

She said: “We were very close to the family who set up the charity and it means a lot to be able to contribute.

The Huntington community is very Need an Expert? close and supportive, it's like a family.

Do you have a service to offer?

Report by Danielle Thompson CONCERNS have been raised after puppies and dogs were sold out close to where caravans were parked up at a supermarket in Southport at the weekend.

The Champion has been called by a number of animal lovers who had seen the dogs, who were ‘very distressed’ being on the Morrisons car park on Saturday, June 30 and Sunday, July 1.

They claimed they were being sold without any paperwork or background checks, for cash and were not given enough water to drink on two of the hottest days of the year.

One caller said: “I went down to see it for myself after a friend told me about it and when I raised concerns about the dogs' agitated state and lack of water I was told to leave, very aggressively.

“They had no paperwork or background checks so it's very bad news for the dogs.

“Who is to say that they are not being bought by someone who is not capable of caring for them, has harmed animals or even worse, wants to use them in illegal fights?

“If the new owners are animal lovers, who is to say that the puppy they just bought is a legal breed, old enough to be separated from the mother, is vaccinated and in good health?

“They could think they are rescuing them and doing a good thing but they could well be funding an illegal puppy farm.

“Aside from this it was one of the hottest days of the year on Saturday and the dogs were very distressed and clearly had no water provided for them.

It was heartbreaking to watch.”

Sam Gaines, head of the RSPCA’s companion animals department, said: “We would urge anyone thinking of getting a dog to first consider rescuing a dog from the RSPCA - there are lots of dogs of all shapes and sizes, but if buying a puppy is the right option please use the Puppy Contract to help you

A HOUSING scheme in Southport is set to be treated in for fleas after residents complained that the entire building was ‘infested’ and ‘crawling with the insects.’

The three tenants, who do not wish to be named, who live at Norwood Gardens on Norwood Avenue, contacted The Champion to raise concerns that whilst they were treating their flats individually, the problem was not being eradicated as there was no overall plan of action to tackle it – and it has been going on for more than two years, driving them ‘demented.’

They showed our reporter ‘flea traps’ at the building which were full of the insects.

The housing company plans to eradicate the problem across the whole building Insect traps to monitor flea infestation at Norwood Gardens. today (Wednesday, July 4).

Ditch the dentures to fix your smile WOULDN’T it be fantastic to never have to worry about a denture moving or slipping ever again?

To have the confidence to choose anything off the menu and be able to laugh, sing and speak in public without that subconscious

fear that your denture will let you down at the worst possible moment?

Dr Marius McGovern, clinical director at Liverpool Implant and Aesthetic Dental Spa, is passionate about ending denture suffering by using implants

• There is an alternative to wearing dentures

to provide same-day teeth.

He said: “Having missing teeth can have a social and functional impact, but here at Liverpool Implant and Aesthetic Dental Spa we aim to address this for our patients by providing same-day fixed teeth.”

“Many people are now aware that dental implants can replace single missing teeth in a highly successful, attractive and long-lasting way.”

“However, the advancement in dental implant techniques allows replacement of all missing teeth and full dentures with All-on-4 in a single day!”

The All-on-4 system is similar to many other dental implant systems; the main difference is that only four implants are required, cutting down the amount of surgery needed to fit them and the number of screws to hold the teeth in place.

The All-on-4 system provides a secure base for a full arch of lower or upper teeth.

Dr McGovern continued: “With dental implants the

roots of your missing teeth are replaced with the highly-specialised titanium cylinder which actually integrates with your bone and becomes a part of you!

“The pressure of biting on food is transferred through the implant into your jaw, just like with your own teeth.

Multiple implants are placed to distribute the biting force and allow almost natural function.”

“At Liverpool Implant and Aesthetic Dental Spa our highly experienced team of dental surgeons are delighted to offer you a comprehensive consultation to discuss your dental issues and develop a customised treatment plan, just for you.”

“The team are so excited about this rapidly-evolving field of advanced dentistry and see dental implants as a way to change people’s lives for the better.”

Report by Tom Martin HUNDREDS of volunteers are needed to help out during the return of the Giants in Liverpool when they will visit the city for a final time in October.

Locals from across Merseyside are being urged to give up their time for the event when hundreds of thousands of visitors are expected to come and watch the spectacle from October 4-7.

Some of the 250 volunteer roles include stewards, production drivers, translators, physiotherapists, media assistants and event ambassadors.

There are also paid positions for anyone who is physically fit enough to be able to operate the Giants as they walk along the streets!

Anyone volunteering needs to ensure they are available across the four event days, and some roles will require commitment of several days in the weeks running up to the event for auditions and rehearsals.

Full role descriptions and the application details can be found at www.giantspectacular.com. The deadline for submissions is 5pm Tuesday, July 31.

Deputy Mayor and Cabinet Member for culture, tourism and event, Councillor Wendy Simon, said: “This is the final time our Giant visitors will ever walk our streets so we want to give as many people as possible the chance to be part of this event which is set to go down in Liverpool history.

“The complexity around staging an event of this scale won’t surprise anyone – years of planning go into it and there’s an army of people who work

incredibly hard behind the scenes to produce a show which wows an audience of hundreds and thousands.

“When we launched the volunteer programme in 2014 we were overwhelmed by the response, and within a few weeks practically every role had been allocated. As this is the climax to the trilogy, we are predicting that demand to be part of the show will be at an all-time high.

“It really is a fantastic opportunity to play an integral role in what will be an unforgettable experience for all involved.”

for using kitchen knife to threaten pensioner

By Danielle Thompson A MAN has been sentenced to eight years in prison for a 'despicable' armed robbery involving a knife at a house in Southport in May. At around 7pm on Friday, 11 May, a 75-year-old woman was at an address in Lime Street, when a man knocked on the door.

When she answered, the man entered the house brandishing a kitchen knife. He demanded the woman hand over cash before making off on foot with a small quantity of cash and two packets of cigarettes.

The woman was uninjured but shaken by her ordeal.

Following CCTV enquiries and an extensive investigation, 37-year-old Graham Wragg of no fixed abode was arrested on 24 May. He was sentenced on June 25 to eight years in prison at Liverpool Crown Court.

Detective Constable Donna Oakley said: “This was a despicable offence against an elderly woman in what should be the sanctuary of her home address, and we are pleased that such a dangerous offender as Wragg has been removed from the streets for the foreseeable future.

“Wragg clearly had no consideration for the fear his actions would cause and we remain absolutely determined to target those who look to cause fear and harm in our communities. We are grateful for all the information provided in this case from the public, which really makes a

Graham Wragg

difference in investigating such crimes.

“The possession and use of knives has no place on Merseyside and we stand alongside our communities and partners in our commitment to doing all in our power to eradicate knife crime.”

SOUTHPORT’S LEADING

Report by Tom Martin RESIDENTS and visitors to Sefton are being encouraged to have their say on the borough's highway network.

Each year Sefton Council conducts a detailed survey to find out what residents, commuters and visitors alike think of the highways around the borough.

Launched in June and running until September 7, the survey seeks feedback on a range of services provided, including road defects, street lights, pavements, traffic management, cycling facilities and road safety.

The results of the survey are then published on Sefton Council’s website, and the data captured helps to inform service planning and prioritisation in the coming months and years.

Cllr John Fairclough, Sefton Council’s cabinet member for locality services, said: “Our highway network is the largest asset that Sefton Council is responsible for.

“It is important that it works Cllr John Fairclough for everyone who lives, works received was exceptionally useful and I and has fun in our borough. encourage as many people as possible to take “Last year's survey proved popular with a part this year.

Report by Henry James WHEN Louisa Henry and her boyfriend Allan Connell set off for their regular trip to the crazy golf course in Southport she had no idea of the surprise in store for her.

For while 33-year-old Louisa, was busy ringing the bell on the 19th hole to win a free round at ‘The Masters Putting Green’ on The Promenade, Allan had another kind of ‘ring’ on his mind - an engagement ring!

And no sooner had Louisa rung the bell for a free game when she turned to see Allan on one knee ready to propose to her.

Dog groomer, Louisa, from Burscough said: “It was a complete surprise. I didn’t expect it at all.

“I had just got a hole in one at the 19th and when I turned round there was Allan on one knee!

“Of course, I said ‘yes’ and was literally in shock.

“It was quite busy at the time with the kids on half-term and suddenly we were surrounded by people clapping and cheering.”

The couple have known each other about 18 years and first met at Myerscough College but only started dating two years ago.

Since then they have visited the

Louisa added: “Since we started dating we have gone to Southport regularly and the crazy golf thing has been our shared hobby.

“It’s a bit of fun and we’ve also got to know the people who run it.”

Louisa and chef Allan, also 33, from Barrow-in-Furness, are not planning to tie the knot just yet and have set a date for April,

2021. Louisa commented: “We just want to save up and enjoy being together without rushing into planning a wedding.”

David Bannister, who works at The Masters Putting Green on The Promenade, said: “Louisa and Allan have been coming here for two years and we are made up for them.

“It was a romantic gesture by Allan and as a way of congratulations, we gave them two complimentary games!”

Merseyrail went above and beyond to help Council funding for loos disabled passenger - unlike Northern Rail appeared as if by magic

I am a visitor to England. I live in Canada. I also have a disability.

On Sunday, June 17, my host from Scarisbrick, Lancashire and I took the train from Liverpool Central Station to Southport. We did not pre-arrange disability accommodations for this trip.

I was truly amazed at how well both of us were accommodated by the Mersey Rail staff. We were given clear, easy to understand, instructions on where to buy our ticket, what time the train left, how to find the lift, and appropriate staff accommodation to set down the ramp and help me to board the train.

At Southport an employee was ready and waiting with a ramp to help me to get out of the train.

The service I received was in stark contrast to the deplorable service offered by Northern Rail.

On June 21 I decided to take the train back to Liverpool, this time from the station that is located 500 ft from my friend’s home. The station name is Bescar Lane.

able so my host, knowing a ramp is usually on the train, called Northern Rail to ask if they could supply the ramp so he could help me get on board the train instead. My host hoped the personnel onboard the train could supply the ramp so he could push me in.

When we called the helpline contact number, supplied on Northern Rail’s website we sat on hold for a full half hour. This is an unacceptably long wait to request a disability accommodation.

When my host asked the representative from Northern Rail if the ramp could be supplied the answer was an unequivocal ‘no.’ We were told we must plan trips for people using a wheelchair 24 hours in advance. Further, we were told the advance-notice requirement was in full compliance with the policy published on Northern Rail’s website.

I looked the policy up and it goes on to say, ‘If you give us less than 24-hours notice, we will still do what we can to help you travel.’

Northern Rail clearly did not do what

they could to help me travel. My host had to drive me to Southport so I could catch the train from there.

Once again, the service I received from the employees at Mersey Rail was excellent! I even had to make an unexpected change to my journey and transfer to another train.

Yet the good folks at Mersey Rail went above and beyond to help me transfer trains and get safely to my destination in an area I am totally unfamiliar with. They told me the names of the new stop, gave me the new scheduled train times, and then ensured I could make the trip from Southport to Liverpool and back safely and with no unexpected barriers.

It is my sincere hope that this information can be shared with both rail lines.

Mersey Rail deserves to receive my thanks.

Northern Rail will hopefully reconsider how to provide quality customer service to people who use a wheelchair.

Environmental group - the A Team - are under the illusion that the toilets at Ainsdale beach had become shabby and neglected because of ‘government cuts to Sefton Council’s budget’. (Champion June 27) It seems the action group fell for that lame excuse lock stock and barrel.

So, the group enlisted the help of cabinet member Councillor Ian Moncur, to see if he could help somehow upgrade the toilets.

A Team leader Dave Flynn said: “We used the toilets after helping with a recent

PICTURE of the week

beach clean and noticed how dilapidated and shabby they were because, we were told, of huge cuts to the council's budget.”

But, lo and behold no sooner said than done for Councillor Moncur who met with the volunteers onsite and discussed - as if by magic - ‘how the council could upgrade the toilets’. How he could possibly do this bearing in mind they were in such a state ‘because of huge cuts to the council’s budget’ is anyone’s guess.

But, hey-ho, he and his officers subsequently prepared a comprehensive action plan to clean the loos up.

Unbelievable.

Now the council has implemented improvements including a full time attendant, according to the Champion’s report last week, who is now on site until 7pm to look after the toilets... with more work to follow when costings are finalised.”

To add insult to injury a spokesman for Sefton Council was then reported as saying that following discussions with the Cabinet Member for Health and Wellbeing, Cllr Ian Moncur, improvement works at the toilets at Ainsdale beach are set to start.

“Further clean-ups and additional maintenance work by the site are also planned in the coming weeks to help improve the overall look of this important location.”

When will residents stop falling for this pathetic old routine that nothing can be done in Sefton because of government cuts to its budget.

They are playing politics with people’s everyday lives and it’s time they were called to account. The money is there when they can find it.

Pity these officers had to be shamed into taking action - at least on Ainsdale’s loos.

Marine Lake walk ruined by smell of bird poo!

Whilst taking a walk on a Sunday morning around the Marine Lake, my wife asked me what that smell was!

On looking over the rail it was evident what the smell was.

There was so much bird poo on the path it’s no wonder there is a bad smell.

This is a blight on Southport that thousands of visitors will take away. Can’t it be regularly cleaned?

Members of the King’s Division Band perform a medley of military music at last Sunday’s Armed Forces Day celebrations in Southport.

Picture by Martyn Snape.

Messages of patriotism fail to impress me Having just read a stirring article by Jim Sharpe (One man and his Dog), I feel obliged to write to you to say that, sadly, I cannot quite share the views and passion for the Trooping the Colour ceremony which he expresses.

I love my country and feel privileged to have been born and live here for 65 years.

My grandfather was a stretcher bearer on the Western Front, for which he received the Military Medal.

My dad was in the Royal Navy on the Malta convoys, and I am immensely proud of both of them.

However. forgive me if I fail to see why an admittedly slick and well organised military ceremony makes us superior to the rest of humanity,

whether or not they live in "dreadful places" in the world. By the way. I too would not be keen on a holiday in Afghanistan, but I guess the average Afghan child or decent living Afghan would be grateful for the chance of a holiday anywhere. How condescending and arrogant to suggest that we are ‘better ’ than such people.

Let me now admit, as if it wasn't already clear, that I am a Remoaner, one of those strange, dreadful, unpatriotic people who finds it hard to swallow the result of the referendum and the overwhelming will of the people.

Apparently, I should now shut up, back Theresa May and align myself with the likes of Boris Johnson and

Jacob Rees-Mogg, for the good of the country.

Sorry, having spent my life as a teacher of Modern Languages, trying hard to instill in my pupils a love of European Culture (including British, since Britain is part of Europe, isn’t it?), I admit that I do find it difficult to see what the future holds for our future relations with our European neighbours.

Yes, they do want us to remain in the EU, but not because they want to sell us more BMWs, but because they cannot conceive of a Europe without us, for all sorts of reasons, most of which are not selfish.

As I said, with my family history, I don't feel in the need of any messages

about patriotism. As for Brexit, I have French, German and Spanish friends who wonder what on earth we have done. My son’s colleagues, Germans, Poles, Italians, all scratch their heads in amazement, but he will just have to try and reassure them that in 10 or 20 years or so, it will be just as if nothing ever happened.

So forgive me if I do not share the feeling that military parades and an assumption of racial superiority are the markings of a great nation.

A pity that, after 50 short years, we have given up on such a foolhardy and misguided project.

John Ashcroft Ainsdale

Stop peddling this Southport out of Sefton nonsense Torbay Council has been in the news because although it went alone in 1998 it has now run out of money and taken the first steps to handing responsibility back to Devon County Council for running its threatened services.

In the words of its Mayor “We are too small to be a unitary authority and continue to fund these services.”

Ever since Torbay became a unitary authority the Tory and Lib Dem administration has been struggling to provide services on a tight budget in a geographically small area. The relevance to our town is that this unity authority set-up would be much the same arrangements as our MP and many councillors are now trying to push as some sort of magical cure for all of Southport’s ills.

The inevitable result of splitting Sefton would be inferior services, soaring council taxes to pay for reorganisation as well as more councillors. The added complication for Southport would be the loss of concessionary travel as we would no longer be within the City Region and therefore outside the Merseytravel area.

It’s about time our MP and other elected representatives stopped peddling this opportunistic and irresponsible Southport out of Sefton nonsense and looked at precedent and facts.

Young jazz singer hopes to show off unique voice on popular ITV contest

By Danielle Thompson A TALENTED young singer from Southport is set to battle it out for a place on The Voice Kids!

Jazz singer Astrid Smith, from West Street, was chosen to compete in the blind auditions for the ITV competition, which aims to find the best singers in the country aged between seven and 14 years old. It will be shown over eight consecutive nights later this month.

The eight year old, who is a Year Four pupil at St Marks Primary School in Scarisbrick as well as pupil at Allstars Academy in Southport and the Elliot Clarke Dance Academy in Liverpool, loves jazz and blues and recently Astrid Smith performed at the Woodvale audience. He approached us and Rally. gave us his card.

Her mum, Amanda, said: “After this, we entered her into “Astrid has grown up listening to the Voice Kids and sent off YouJazz and Blues as that's what we Tube links and she was invited to like. the first audition in London!

“When she was seven I noticed “After being successful at this that she had a natural singing stage we were invited to a ability and entered her for her second audition in London. We first competition for Teen Star. had to wait then to see if we “She was awarded the New- would actually make it onto the comers Award and there was a blind auditions.

Voice Kids talent scout in the “Out of 10,000 youngsters

entered, only 60 would be chosen for the blind audition and only 36 of them would get a place on a team of 12, the competition was very tough.

“Astrid is completely different and unique.

There is no other child in the UK who sings jazz and has that distinctive sound and phrasing that you associate with some of the greats like Billie Holiday.

“She is becoming quite a well known name in the North West, mainly due to her charity performances.

“She sang at all of the Alfie Evans charity events and even sang at his balloon release on the day of his passing. She has also performed in aid of the Save William charity, Clatterbridge, Alder Hey and Claire House.

“It's really important to Astrid and to us that she helps others through her singing. We are incredibly proud of the wonderfully talented and kind little girl she is.

“Watch the show to see if anyone turns for Astrid!”

Survey to get feedback on borough's highways RESIDENTS and visitors to Sefton are being encouraged to have their say on the borough's highway network.

Each year Sefton Council conducts a detailed survey to find out what residents, commuters and visitors alike think of the highways around the borough.

Launched in June and running until September 7, the survey seeks feedback on a range of services provided, including road defects, street lights, pavements, traffic management, cycling facilities and road safety.

The results of the survey are then published on Sefton Council’s website, and the data captured helps to inform service planning and prioritisation in the coming months

and years.

Cllr John Fairclough, Sefton Council's Cabinet Member for Locality Services, said: “Our highway network is the largest asset that Sefton Council is responsible for. It is important that it works for everyone who lives, works and has fun in our borough.

“Last year's survey proved popular with a great deal of engagement - our highways are clearly something local residents feel are very important. The feedback that we received was exceptionally useful and I encourage as many people as possible to take part this year. It's really easy to get involved.”

Prince’s Trust team get by with a little help from their friends!

YOUNG green-fingered gardeners have teamed up with local volunteers to help maintain Southport's Rotten Row. The beautiful flowering borders along the Row were established over 100 years ago and are wellrecognised and much appreciated by local residents.

The borders play a prominent role in the Southport Air Show, Southport in Bloom and Southport Flower Show and are restored and maintained by a devoted group of volunteers, the Friends of Rotten Row – and the gardens are even set to feature in a BBC 2 programme Britain in Bloom at the end of this year or start of next year.

The Friends group were joined by young volunteers taking part in the Prince's Trust Team programme. The programme is managed by the environmental charity Groundwork and aimed at 16-25 year olds who are not currently in employment, education or training. It helps them to develop new skills, build their confidence and improve their employment prospects. As part of the programme, participants are required to deliver a project that benefits the local community.

For their project, the Southport team decided they wanted to support the Friends of Rotten Row. Amy Stark, Groundwork's Prince’s Trust team leader said: “Working on this project has been a really enjoyable and rewarding experience for our team.

“The Friends of Rotten Row turn up three times a week, whatever the weather, to give something back to the local community. Our young people have not only been inspired by their commitment

Members of the Friends of Rotten Row, Groundwork and the Prince’s Trust volunteers.

but also learned a great deal about horticulture and most importantly, about how to work well together as a team.”

Brian Quinn, Chairman of Friends of Rotten Row added: “It was a pleasure to meet the members of Groundwork's Prince’s Trust Team. The amount of work that this team did for Friends of Rotten Row was amazing.”

Airport marks 85 year anniversary Report by Tom Martin LIVERPOOL John Lennon Airport has marked 85 years since it first opened.

On July 1, 1933, the Rt. Hon. The Marquis of Londonderry, Secretary of State for Air, officially opened the airport, making it one of the UKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest operational airports.

First thought about in the late 1920â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Speke in south Liverpool was chosen for the location because of the geography of the site and its good year round weather record â&#x20AC;&#x201C; reasons still important today.

Almost 100 million passengers have travelled to or from Liverpool Airport since its official opening in 1933, and much has changed over the past 85 years.

Man charged with burglary after house broken into A MAN from Southport has been charged after a house was broken into.

Officers working on Operation Castle, which is Merseyside Police’s ongoing response to burglary offences, last week charged two men with separate offences.

31-year-old Kamil Kaca from Cable Street, in Southport, was charged with a burglary in Fleetwood Road, Southport on Sunday, June 24.

At around 5am, residents of a property in Fleetwood Road reported noises and men in the house.

The men made off upon being disturbed and one man was detained in the front garden as officers attended.

Kaca was charged with burglary and appeared at Sefton Adult Remand Court on Wednesday, June 27 and has been remanded into custody to next appear on Wednesday, July 25 at Liverpool Crown Court.

As well as this, 42-year-old Andrew Atherton from Bowland Drive in Litherland was charged with burglary following an incident on Tuesday, June 26 in Wallasey.

At around 2.15pm, police responded to a report of a window being smashed at a house in Church Street and a man stealing a television. A man was seen running away and was detained following a foot pursuit. Atherton was charged, remanded in custody and has been recalled to prison after his licence was revoked.

Superintendent Matt Boyle, who leads Operation Castle, said: “These arrests demonstrate the quick response of officers when we are called about burglaries in progress. Call 999 if a burglary is happening, or come forward with any information on suspicious behaviour or burglaries in your community, and we will take swift and positive action.

“Our commitment to tackling burglary is absolute and if you provide information, it will continue to make a difference.”

Spate of burglaries during hot weather BURGLARIES have taken place across Ainsdale and Formby during the recent hot spell.

Between June 12-26 burglaries or attempted burglaries took place in the following locations: Chatsworth Road and a garage on Liverpool Road in Ainsdale; Halsall Lane, Annes Path,

Merseyside Police Sergeant Ian Allum said: “Please be aware that sheds and garages often contain valuable items such as cycles, lawn mowers and tools.

“During the early hours of Sunday, June 3, three residential burglaries were reported in Formby. During

Photographers urged to submit best snaps of Sefton's coastline for national contest

the burglaries, cash, jewellery and three motor vehicles were stolen.

By Danielle Thompson SEFTON snappers are being urged to submit their best photographs of the British coastline to a national photography competition.

National maritime charity, the Shipwrecked Mariners’ Society, are hoping that photographers from Southport and Formby will submit their favourite images honouring Britain’s proud maritime heritage.

Launched to mark national Seafarers Awareness Week, which runs until June 30, the Society’s Maritime Photographic Competition encourages amateur and professional snappers to enter pictures that capture the essence of Britain’s enduring connection with the sea, including its merchant ships, fishermen, coast, harbours and ports.

The winner will be presented with £500 of photographic equipment vouchers.

Celebrating its 179th year, the Society is searching for standout images relating to all aspects of the UK ’s historic relationship with the sea.

Photographs should be submitted before the deadline, Monday, August 13. Photographers can enter via email, post or the Soci-

ety ’s social media channels.

Chief executive of the Shipwrecked Mariners’ Society, Captain Justin Osmond said: “Britain’s strong maritime heritage can be traced back through generations and the history of our rich relationship with the sea is something we should be proud of. We should not forget how heavily we rely on the sea and our seafaring professionals, given that 95% of our imports and exports by volume are transported by sea.

“As this is the first photographic competition I’ve been involved in since joining the Society I eagerly await this year’s entries and very much hope we will see the high calibre of images received in previous years.

“The beauty of our competition is that it gives people the chance to tell their personal stories of the sea via stunning photography that can be enjoyed by all.”

The Shipwrecked Mariners’ Society supports fishermen, merchant mariners and their dependants who are suffering financial hardship, whether due to accident, ill health, unemployment or in retirement after a life spent working at sea. More than £1.4 million was paid in grants over the last year in 2,000 cases of need.

To enter the competition, visit shipwreckedmariners.org.uk

SonFest tunes up for day of live music in King’s Gardens Jennifer and Christine in the Birkdale branch of June the Florist which has closed after 40 years of trading.

Florist wraps up after 40 years in village

1095793

A WELL known Birkdale florist has closed after more than 40 years of saying it with flowers.

The Liverpool Road branch of June the Florist closed its doors for the last time on Saturday, June 23. Their main branch on Lord Street, which has been trading for almost 100 years, will remain open, with the Birkdale staff being transferred over.

The business was set up by current owner Peter Eaton's grandmother Bessie, who named it after her daughter June. Her son Jack, Peter's father, ran the business with his wife Margaret before it was taken over by Peter and his wife Elizabeth.

The Eatons took over the Birkdale shop from another florist who was there for around 16 years before they took over the shop 40 years ago.

Elizabeth said: “The staff from our Birkdale branch will be relocated to the Lord Street shop.

“Peter and I would like to thank our very loyal customers for all of their support over many wonderful years of trading at Birkdale, it is very much appreciated. We look forward to continuing to serve you at our Lord Street branch.”

A FREE live music festival will take place in Southport on Saturday, July 14.

The fifth annual family-friendly SonFest Southport Music Festival will be held from 11am to 6pm at the King’s Gardens across from the Royal Clifton Hotel, featuring music that, say organisers, carries a positive messages for all ages.

In addition to the live music, there will be a giant marquee providing free activities for children, including craft-making, interactive games and a huge 50ft inflatable football pitch provided by Good Sport and The Southport and Area Schools’ Worker Trust.

Bands will take the stage and deliver a variety of styles of music, including pop, gospel, jazz and country. Headlining this year’s free festival is one of the UK’s brightest talents - British singer-songwriter Philippa Hanna. Since her debut release in 2007, she has appeared as special guest for a number of artists, including Lionel Richie, Little Mix,

Wet Wet Wet and Leona Lewis. Her songs and stories are said to be captivating audiences around the globe.

Local favourite Vernon Fuller of Twin Frets, a past performer at the Southport Jazz Festival, returns for his fifth year and thanks to a partnership with Fill The Gap Concerts, Liberty Worship Collective will join the festival from Virgina’s Liberty University in America. Gospel collective Voices Beyond, from Manchester, will also be performing, along with Southport-based youth band Amplified.

Tina Powsey, event founder said: “SonFest was created five years ago to share a message of hope and inspiration to all people by presenting uplifting, positive live music.

“It is our aim that everyone who attends SonFest Southport will leave feeling better than when they came - that a real sense of encouragement and hope will be poured into them!”

Guests at last week's football themed Sportsman's lunch held at The Ramada.

Blues legend joins locals for lunch!

By Danielle Thompson MEMBERS of a care hub enjoyed an afternoon with an Everton legend in Southport.

The Athena Health Care Group, who own a number of homes across Sefton and West Lancs, launched their Community Activities Hub to unite older people’s services and groups last year.

Last week, residents from

their homes, who are part of the hub, enjoyed a Sportsman’s Lunch at the Ramada Plaza Hotel Southport with former Everton player Pat Van Den Houwe and Henry Mooney from Everton in the Community.

Pat, who played for the Welsh national side, made 401 appearances in the Football League playing for Birmingham City, Everton, Tottenham Hotspur and Millwall.

During his time at Everton,

he made 135 appearances, scoring two goals between 1984-89.

Lesley Malone, group events organiser said: “It was a very enjoyable afternoon and a great way to mark the World Cup! “We teamed up with Henry Mooney from Everton in the Community a number of years ago and work together to help our residents to live a full and active lifestyle of their own choices and to age well.”

ENTERTAINMENT

Show was full of glamour

Singers are holding summer concert THE Richard Hart Singers of Ainsdale are holding their summer concert this week.

A Grand Night for Singing will be held at 7.30pm this Saturday (July 7) at St John Stone Church on Sandbrook Road in Ainsdale. It will be directed by Stewart Hankinson with accompaniment by Brenda Redmond and guest oboist Jackie Howard.

Tickets cost £5, including a light buffet. They can be bought by calling Ann on 01704 571709 or from choir members.

Review by Ron Ellis Copacabana by Barry Manilow Southport Spotlights Little Theatre, Southport COPACABANA is an exhilarating show, full of glamour and razzmatazz set alongside a soundtrack of exciting 40s big band music and Latin rhythms, played here by a top-class 12-piece orchestra under the expert direction of Chris Rimmer. Songs like the title track and Sounds like Heaven lingered on long after the final curtain.

John Delahunty and Toni Spofforth were both outstanding as barman/would-be songwriter, Tony Forte, and wannabe singer, Lola Lamar, who work together and fall in love at New York’s legendary Copacabana Club.

Amanda Shaw was a delight to watch as cigarette lady, Gladys, an ex-showgirl herself, who persuades club owner, Sam (the lively Ian Lawson) to take on Lola as a singer. Naturally, she becomes the star attraction, with Tony as her accompanist, and they take the club by storm.

But Lola is drugged by rival club owner, gangster Rico Castelli played by Dom Tolley who, with his Clarke Gable moustache and sinister smile, personified a prewar villain.

Next minute, we are in Cuba. Rico has flown Lola to Havana to headline at his Tropicana Club, Cuba’s top nightspot, intending her to replace current singer, the alluring Conchita (a temptingly seductive performance

by Janine Burrows), both onstage and in his bed.

Tony arrives in Cuba, along with Gladys and Sam, in pursuit of his lost love. Rico makes to kill him but Conchita beats him to it and shoots her lover dead. Very much a ‘with one bound, Lola was free’ explanation but, heigh ho, this is a musical not a thriller and it is the music and dancing that are important so, on with the show.

The colourful costumes for this production were quite spectacular and would not have looked out of place at the London Palladium and were matched by the exuberance of the fleet-footed dancers.

Directed by award-winning Stephen Hughes-Alty, and with a supporting cast of 22 dancers and singers, this was a big-time, feel-good show in what has been a highly successful year for Southport Spotlights after their success with My Fair Lady in February.

Watch out for their next production, Funny Girl in February 2019.

Star rating 8/10 Razzmatazz at its best.

The Champion â&#x2014;? Wednesday 4 July 2018

Visit us @ www.ChampNews.com â&#x2014;? 35

â&#x20AC;˘ A Motorfest Event â&#x20AC;˘ Just a short letter to thank you and the Champion for your support and assistance in helping to make our Dale Park Motorfest a successful and memorable day for residence, families, visitors and all concerned. Despite the coincidence with England and the World Cup match, plus a roasting hot afternoon, support was great and the exhibits and services kept everyone intrigued from start to finish.

The advertisement featured in the Champion created excellent response and feed back. In fact, we were so impressed with the graphic and layout of the advert your team designed, we reproduced it for notices and posters around the event.

On 4th July 2018, Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council, made an order under Section 16(a) to 16(c) of the Road Traffic Regulation (Special Events) Act, 1994, to temporarily close and restrict those roads listed below. Before during and after ‘The Southport Air Show’ event, to regulate the additional traffic which will be attracted to the seafront area, to assist in the management of the carparks, and to permit the safe movement of pedestrians between the Air Show village and the Air Show village on the beach. Therefore it will be necessary to temporarily close Marine Drive between the Pleasureland roundabout and the Marine Way bridge roundabout from Thursday 5th July at 12.00 noon to Monday 9th July 2018 at 23.59 hours.

To enable the safe erection and removal of the air show village and movement of pedestrians during the event it will be necessary to temporarily close Marine Drive between the Pleasureland roundabout and the Marine Way bridge roundabout from Thursday 5th July at 12:00 noon to Monday 9th July 2018 at 23.59 hours.

The hottest thing last weekend was my face!

THE HOTTEST thing in Lydiate last weekend wasn’t its full-to-bursting classic car show – it was my rather reddish mug afterwards.

With temperatures knocking at the door of 30 degrees Celsius and bright, unwavering sunshine throughout even a liberal dolloping of factor 50 and a hat that in my head was modelled on the one worn by Belloq in Raiders of the Lost Ark (but in truth looked a dodgy knockoff of the one sported in Peter Davison-era Doctor Who episodes) wasn’t going to protect me from a spot of sunburn.

But the cars were most definitely worth it.

It’s been a couple of years since I’ve last ventured to this one-day bash, held in aid of North West Cancer Research, but it’s really grown in stature and variety since then.

The venue – the field immediately behind the village’s parish hall – hasn’t magically increased in size, but the organisers seem to have packed in more variety this year than I ever

remember the event having in its early outings.

There was, for instance, a 1910 Sunbeam whose brass plating beamed in the summer sunshine, and forever seemed to be attracting a small crowd on account of it easily being the day’s oldest entrant. Then there was Kevin Price’s magnificent Volvo P1800 – one of the actual cars used in the filming of The Saint, complete with a cardboard cutout of Sir Roger Moore himself.

Then there was a 1960 MGA, owned by Southport car nut Peter Bowen – and has been for the past 50 years.

This year’s show managed to pack a lot of fascinating motoring stories

into a surprisingly small space.

But my favourite, for all the E-types, TR6s and MGs packed in behind the parish hall, had to be the show’s 1947 Singer Super Ten. There are plenty of people who want to enjoy Austin-Healeys and Triumph Spitfires, which is why there are so many of them on the roads at this time of year, but for what would’ve have been a fairly unremarkable machine when new to have survived more than 70 years – thanks largely, to a succession of devoted owners – is an achievement in itself.

It probably hasn’t been that long since you’ve seen an MG or old Jag zip past – but when was the last time you saw a Singer Super Ten? Unless you went to the show last Sunday, of course.

In which case, I apologise for the hat.

Formby hold out for a draw with Northern to stay in touch with leaders

Devarn Green.

‘Key target’ Green joins Yellows from Tranmere Rovers DEVARN Green has joined Southport on a two-year deal from Tranmere Rovers.

The 21 year-old started his career at Burton Albion before moving to Blackburn Rovers, progressing through their academy and later went on to have spells at Cardiff City and in non-league with Hednesford Town, Stourbridge and most recently Tranmere.

Manager Liam Watson said: “Devarn was a key target of ours this summer and I’m delighted to secure his services.

“He’s an attack-minded player who is effective in the centre or on the wing and will be a great addition to our squad.”

Having signed for the Port, Green said: “I’m delighted to join Southport, I feel it’s a club with loads of positivity around it and huge ambition. Looking at some of the other signings the club have made I’m excited to get started.”

Hesketh Golf Club to host county junior competition LANCASHIRE Golf Association's Junior Team Trophy will be held on Friday, July 27 at Hesketh Golf Club.

The inaugural event is aimed at promoting the best junior golf in Lancashire.

Southport & District Golf Association executive secretary, Keith Hick said: “As the host Association to this inaugural event at Hesketh GC, SDGA is thrilled to support such an important day in the life of junior golf throughout Lancashire.

“Tommy Fleetwood, 2017 European Number One and currently ranked eleventh in the world golf rankings, together with his European Tour colleagues Lee Slattery and Matthew Baldwin, have each proved how far a fledgling youngster can go.

“During the current decade, West Lancashire's Hollie Muse also set the game alight as a teenager with a rapid career rise through the junior game to full women's international honours.

“Each initially came through the SDGA proving ground to place their golf clubs, Southport and the surrounding area, together with Lancashire, firmly in the news.

“SDGA continues to help nurture and develop junior golfers to maximise their potential, make lifelong friends along the way and, most importantly, enjoy all a lifetime playing golf has to offer.”

THE Liverpool & District Cricket Competition reached the halfway stage last weekend, with Ormskirk, Southport & Birkdale and Caldy currently topping the three divisions, writes Glenn Wallworth.

Ormskirk leaped up to top spot in the Premier Division with a 118 run win at Rainhill.

After electing to bat, Ormskirk piled up 258-3 declared thanks in the main to John Armstrong (112 inc 11x4 & 4x6) who scored his second century of the season, whilst he was ably supported by Josh Bohannon 86*, Andy Baybutt 30 and Gary Knight 25*.

In reply, Tyler McGladdery hit a run a ball 50 but his efforts were in vain as Tom Hartley 6-25 took his third six wicket haul of the season as the hosts were dismissed for 140.

Long time leaders Northern dropped down to second place after being held to a draw at Formby who are in third place.

Northern chose to bat and managed to post a total of 203 up on the board, with Jack Boardman 61, Chris Laker 57 and Justin Snow 41 scoring the bulk of the runs, whilst Ben Aitchison took 3-46 with the ball.

In reply, the early loss of former England Test opener Haseeb Hameed for a first ball duck put a huge dent in the run chase as the hosts settled on batting out for a draw 137-3 off 57 overs, with Lancashire’s Karl Brown unbeaten on 46* from 153 deliveries and skipper James Seward unbeaten on 35, whilst once again Tom Sephton led the bowling attack with 3-60 off 28 miserly overs.

There was a shock result at Bootle who were beaten by two wickets at home against bottom of the table New Brighton, the hosts won the toss and elected to bat with runs from Danny Davies 71, Sam Kershaw 54, Will Hale 41 and an unbeaten 28* from Will

Northern’s Jack Boardman who top scored with 61 in the top of the table clash against Formby.

Picture by Roger Green.

Purser enabling them to declare after 45 overs on 254-5. In reply, Mark Rowland 65, Andrew Clarke 50, Louis Botes 47 and David While 29 all weighed in with vital runs to take the visitors to their first win of

the campaign on 256-8, with Bootle skipper Craig Prince who took his second five wicket haul in as many weeks with 5-59 and Davies 3-75 taking the wickets to fall.

Yates hits unbeaten 83 as S&B extend lead at top of First Division with seven wicket win over Fleetwood Hesketh IN the First Division, Southport & Birkdale extended their lead at the top to 50 points with a seven wicket home win against Fleetwood Hesketh.
