PLANS TO REPLACE BAGS WITH WHEELIE BINS SCRAPPED

Council U-turn on waste collection proposal after uproar from residents Report by Tom Martin PLANS to replace bin bags with wheelie bins or communal bins in south Sefton look set to be scrapped after the council admitted “there is very little appetite” for them from residents.

It would be the second time in less than two years that the council has been forced to ditch the proposal after they faced a similar backlash in 2020.

Thousands of householders in Waterloo, Crosby and Bootle were told this January that the council was proposing to replace bags with either wheelie bins or communal bins for waste collection.

The council said introducing wheelie or communal bins would reduce litter and fly-tipping.

Residents were invited to take part in an online survey to state which option they would prefer, but it brought criticism as it did not allow them to object to both options and keep things as they were.

Many residents complained that there would be no space to store the bins on the pavements in front of their terraced houses.

In an update issued this week, the local authority has said there is a lack of support for communal bins.

No further information was given on the other option of wheelie bins.

A spokesperson for Sefton Council said: “Early indicative feedback has shown there is very little appetite for communal bins among residents in the areas under consultation.

“A detailed outcome of the consultation is due to be presented to the cabinet member this week with a

decision on implementation of any future waste containment arrangements to follow.

“We want to thank all those who took part in our consultation and reassure residents that their views have been taken into consideration.

“Residents will be notified of any change to their current arrangements in due course.”

The update was welcomed by Cllr Trish Hardy, Sefton Council’s cabinet member for housing, who described it as “brilliant news.”

Many residents had contacted the Champion to state that they wanted the current system to remain in place. One resident of Rockland Road, said: “I don’t understand where they expect us to put the wheelie bins. The communal bins would take up parking spaces and it’s already hard to park on this road.”

Witness appeal after cyclist is badly injured in hit-and-run

Liverpool Seafarers Centre chief executive John Wilson

Heartbreak for Ukrainian seamen who don’t know when they’ll return home Crosby-based charity helping seafarers at Port unable to contact their families fleeing the war in their homeland Report by Tom Martin A CHARITY for seafarers based in Crosby is giving support to ship crews from Ukraine and Russia who are facing huge difficulties because of the conflict between the two countries.

Liverpool Seafarers Centre (LSC) is helping crew members arriving in Liverpool who are worried about their loved ones back at home.

Charity staff said they had heard heartbreaking stories from crew members whose family members are fleeing Ukraine and who had lost contact with them.

Crews are facing growing difficulties getting in contact with friends and family and don’t when or if they can return to their home countries.

One Ukrainian seafarer saying that he had ‘no home to go any more.’

The charity stressed that while the two countries are at war there was no sign of any conflict between Ukrainian and Russian seafarers with one crew member telling them ‘We are all family.’

As well as offering emotional support and a listening ear, LSC is supplying them with free SIM cards to help them as they

look to get in contact with relatives.

The LSC also say they are supporting Russian seafarers.

LSC chief executive John Wilson says that on ships docked in Liverpool where crew members are from Ukraine and Russia there is no sign of any conflict between them.

He said: “I spoke to a Russian seafarer and he told me, ‘We are all family’.”

Russian seafarers are also facing difficulties in accessing pay, as sanctions against the country kick in.

They also face uncertainty over travel, with airports closed and international flights to Russia cancelled.

John said another worry was the possibility of Russian ships increasingly being denied access to ports, which he says would have a major impact on the welfare of crew members onboard.

International concern continues to grow over the welfare of thousands of seafarers, both at sea and ashore, as the war continues to escalate.

Many fear they will be unable to return to their homes.

They also face growing practical difficulties, in terms of accessing money and travel restrictions, impacting on their ability to join vessels.

John says the charity has been in contact with seafarers from both Ukraine and Russia, in some cases members of the same ship’s crew, to offer its support.

He says the seafarers he has spoken to on vessels docked in Liverpool are shocked and heartbroken by what is happening and increasingly concerned for their families.

John said: “There is a feeling of helplessness, uncertainty and a lot of worry.

“We have reached out to seafarers docked here and stressed that we are here to listen if people want to talk about anything and that we will give what support we can in what is a terrible situation for them.

“We’re visiting vessels and hearing heartbreaking stories, including people whose family members are fleeing Ukraine and who had lost contact with them.

“They didn’t know where they were or when they would be able to see them again. It is so distressing.

“Another crew member from the Ukraine, whose contract is coming to an end simply told me, ‘I haven’t got a home to go to any more’.”

According to figures from last year, 198,123 (10.5%) of seafarers are Russian, while Ukraine accounts for 76,442 (4%).

SEFTON taxpayers will have to fork out an extra 2.99% on council tax after the local authority agreed the increase.

At a cabinet meeting on Thursday, March 3, the council’s leader, Cllr Ian Maher, blamed central government for a lack of support and claimed it is “forcing us to increase council tax to make local people pay for vital services.”

The 2.99% increase drew criticism from opposition parties, including Sefton’s Liberal-Democrat leader, Cllr John Pugh, who described it as a “horribly regressive tax”, while leader of the local Conservatives Cllr Tony Brough hit out at the council’s “financial mismanagement.”

Cllr Maher said: “Thanks to careful management, the council’s finances remain resilient despite a reduction in funding of more than 50% since 2010 by the government, which has also failed to recognise just how hard our borough has been hit by those cuts and the Covid pandemic.

“Rather than provide the resources we need to deliver services for local people and businesses and ensure a brighter future for all, the government is, once again, forcing us to increase council tax to make local people pay for vital services instead.”

In Sefton this rise will be 66p per week for homes that fall under Band A, which is the majority of properties in the borough.

Cllr Brough hit out at the council’s “financial mis-

management” in particular its decision to buy the Strand Shopping Centre in Bootle in 2017, which has faced big losses since the takeover.

He said: “The poor decisions taken by them, such as buying the Strand, have resulted in this significant tax increase.

“For example, each year, Sefton Council has to pay £1.7 million to pay off the loan used by Labour to buy the Strand. That’s equivalent to just over 1% of the proposed rise.

“If it wasn’t for this kind of financial mismanagement, we could be looking to cut council tax to help households across the borough.”

Cllr Pugh believes the council should make clear exactly how the increased revenue created by the tax increase will be spent.

He said: “If a council is raising money from hardpressed families through this horribly regressive tax, it should be duty bound at Budget time to tell the public what it wants it all for.

“You can’t play poker with other people’s money.”

Angling academy wants to reel in more locals!

Carnegie Library

Council pressures developer to speed up library site work Report by Tom Martin THERE are fears that plans to reopen Carnegie Library could fall through after the council revealed it had been forced to contact the developer to make sure the “project remains deliverable” due to ongoing delays.

Sefton Council say they are “actively monitoring progress to determine the most appropriate next steps” after a “period of inactivity onsite.”

It comes after the Champion reported how members of the campaign group, the Friends of Carnegie Library (FOCAL), spoke of their concern at a lack of progress on re-opening the Grade II-listed building, with it now being more than eight years since it closed down.

The council had agreed a contract in 2020 with Cunard Construction Ltd, who revealed exciting plans to turn it into a flexible business hub for start-up and smaller businesses and a community café.

Due to a lack of work taking place at the site, the council said it has contacted the company to get an update on the proposal.

The Champion tried to contact Cunard Construction, but received no response.

A Sefton Council spokesperson said: “The council remains wholly committed to doing all it can to support the long-term restoration of the former Carnegie Library building and has demonstrated a commitment to working with the successful third-party bidder for the scheme.

“However, after a period of inactivity on site we are seeking confirmation from said third-party bidder that this project remains deliverable.

“Sefton Council remains eager to bring this muchloved asset back in to use, and to prevent further deterioration of the building itself, we are taking preventative steps to protect its fabric and ensure it is

wind and water-tight in the intervening period.”

The council spokesperson added: “We hope to be able to continue with the current contract, but are actively monitoring progress to determine the most appropriate next steps “This building is valued by the council and the local community, and therefore we will take the necessary steps to ensure that this building is brought back in to use.”

Carnegie Library was closed in December 2013 and a bid by FOCAL to take over the building was rejected by the council.

There were failed attempts to takeover the library by social enterprise company Regenerus in 2014 and then a consortium of local businessmen took place between 2017-2018.

It was then agreed in June 2020 that Cunard Construction Ltd would proceed with its business plan of using the library as a new community hub.

Graham Winckles, from FOCAL, said the group is ‘alarmed’ that it has taken this long for the council to contact Cunard.

Mr Winckles said: “FOCAL are alarmed that Sefton Council has taken so long to seek a progress update on this building, which has stood empty for eight years.

The council has a statutory duty to safeguard this Listed building, especially as it is on the council’s ‘At Risk’ register.

“Other councils appreciate they need to work in partnership with community groups and developers when restoring council-owned listed buildings.

“Tuebrook Library in Liverpool is a great example of collaborative working, with the city council providing £100,000 towards this project, which has now been shortlisted for an architectural award.

“It is all the more frustrating considering FOCAL’s own bid in 2013 to take over the library as a community resource was summarily dismissed by Sefton Council after less than three months deliberation.”

A CROSBY mum has revealed how being part of a girlband and winning a reality TV show has helped her flourish in the beauty industry!

Nicole Francis, 37, was once a member of a girlband called i-Candi and during the height of their brief music career they were performing at shows with Atomic Kitten.

After being dropped by their management company, Nicole went on to appear in Coleen Rooney’s ITV reality show, Coleen’s Real Women, in 2008.

The show was about giving “regular women” a chance to compete for highprofile modelling jobs and Nicole won the episode she appeared in.

For winning, N icole was given the equipment and tools to start her own beauty business, which she still runs to this day!

Nicole is the owner of The Couture Group, which encompasses Lip Couture, a salon on Crosby Road North, as well as a training school and online training programs.

She said: “I was in a girl band called i-Candi and we were doing quite well.

We were doing tours, Christmas tours, we did a massive show with Atomic Kitten and it looked like it was going somewhere and then, I can’t remember whether it was something to do with our look or our age, but we were

waiting for this big meeting, then they came out and said they weren’t going to go ahead with us and the band split up.

“At the time I was devastated and didn’t know what to do and my friend put me forward for an audition on the TV show Coleen’s Real Women and every week, there was a brand and she was pushing women to get a contract with the company as a model. The one I went for was Fake Bake.

“There were different stages and I ended up winning the contest to be the face of Fake Bake. There was all sorts of prizes and they set me up with a package with stock, a spray tan tent so I could start my own business, and that’s how I entered the beauty industry.”

From here N icole built up a client base and was also asked to appear on Channel 4 reality show Desperate Scousewives when she was filmed tattooing one of the cast members.

Nicole recently celebrated her company ’s ten year anniversary and she hopes to continue to expand and grow the salon.

Martin Mere news Avocets return to WWT Martin Mere Wetland Centre One of our favourite birds of the summer have just arrived back at WWT Martin Mere Wetland Centre, the beautiful avocet. They are striking black and white with a long black up-curved bill that they sway from left to right through the water filtering food such as aquatic insects and small fish.

The avocets have just started to arrive on the Mere they spend the winter on the east coast. This year our first avocets arrived on the 9th February and we now have 20.

The avocets like to breed on Woodend marsh and the islands on the mere so it’s more difficult for a fox to get to their nests as they are protected by a ring of water. They create a scrape and lay their eggs straight onto the gravel and the eggs are really well disguised. They normally have 4 eggs but we always have one pair that has 5.

Both parents incubate the eggs and look after the chicks. Over the summer we will have up to 51

pairs nesting on the reserve and you will be able to see the chicks from the hides overlooking the mere.

Their mating behaviour is very elegant – beginning with vigorous preening, before the female stops still and the male quickly moves from side to side behind the female, dipping his bill in the water.

After copulation, they run forward together with bills crossed, the male with one wing over the female’s back. Finally, they run away from each other in a hunched posture.

The name ‘avocet’ has its origins in the Italian word, ‘avosetta’. The word refers to long-legged birds of the shore with an upturned bill.

Within Martin Mere’s collection of birds, we also have a group of avocets in the WOW aviary that you can see all year round with the opportunities to get photographs up close of the birds.

MP says government has failed to deliver on promised new health centre for town Report by Henry James

Aintree University Hospital.

Hospital buys gas from Russian state company Gazprom NHS Trusts are asked to exit contracts ‘as soon as possible’ Report by Henry James RUSSIAN state owned company Gazprom has been paid hundreds of thousands of pounds to supply gas to Southport and Ormskirk Hospital – NHS Trust and Liverpool University Hospitals N HS Foundation Trust, which runs the Royal Liverpool, Aintree and Broadgreen hospitals.

It has been revealed that more than a dozen Trusts use gas from Gazprom and most of them are in the North West.

The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care has asked all NHS organisations for an overview of any contracts held with Russian and Belarussian suppliers and to make plans to exit those contracts as soon as possible, within the terms of those contracts. This includes Gazprom.

The decision to take action against Russianowned suppliers is a foreign policy issue which sits with central Government.

If the Government decides to implement any instructions around the procurement of gas or other services from Russian companies, then the N HS, like other public sector organisations, will follow it.

It has been reported in the financial year 2021/22, Liverpool University Hospitals N HS Foundation Trust, which runs the Royal Liverpool, Aintree and Broadgreen hospitals, paid Gazprom £370,000.

For the same period, Southport and Ormskirk Hospital - NHS Trust paid £207,477 to Gazprom.

Southport MP Damien Moore added: “I am pleased to hear from Southport & Ormskirk Hospital that the NHS framework allows them to move to an alternative supplier without any disruption, and I urge them to do this at the soonest possible opportunity so that Southport stands united in its repudiation of Putin and all he stands for.”

Three arrested after high speed police chase through streets THREE men have been arrested after a suspected stolen car was at the centre of a high speed chase through the streets of south Sefton.

Officers saw a suspected stolen blue Audi A3 on Hawthorne Road in Bootle at around 4.45pm on Monday, February, 28.

The driver didn’t stop and sped off. During the five-minute pursuit, the car travelled at speed

through traffic, narrowly missing other vehicles and mounting the pavement.

The chase ended on Galsworthy Avenue when the car mounted the pavement and came to a stop on a grassed area.

A 27-year-old man from Bootle has been arrested on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle, dangerous driving, failing to stop and drug driving.

Health Minister said: “Following the recent spending review, the next round of projects including those for Merseycare NHS Foundation Trust are being considered, and local health systems should be receiving confirmation of their funding envelope for 2022/23 shortly.”

Mr Esterson said: “In November 2018 the then health minister told me that building a new health centre in Maghull, was a priority for NHS England.

“But the Estates and Technology Transformation Fund has closed and the funding for Maghull has not been approved by the government.

“So can the minister confirm that the government still agrees with me that a new health centre is needed in Maghull and can she also tell me what the funding arrangements are in the absence of the Estates and Technology Fund?”

The minister responded: “I very much take the honourable gentleman’s point and of course he’s going to lobby for more investment for his constituency, but as I said the funding envelope will be announced shortly and it is for

MP Bill Esterson

his local area to decide how they spend that.”

Mr Esterson said following the exchange: “The people of Maghull need a new health centre. The Government told me in 2018 that it was a priority for NHS England. It has still not been approved and the fund that was due to finance it has been closed down, with no announcement on what will replace it.

“Investment in our hospitals and mental health services is welcome of course but primary care and community care must not be left behind. I will continue to press Ministers to release the funding Maghull needs for a new health centre delivering GP and community care.”

School installs recycling bin for clothes

Couple who fell in street shocked to get a parking fine

A PRIMARY school in Litherland has installed a new clothes recycling bin so pupils and their families can make a donation ahead of Global Recycling Day. English Martyrs Primary School is asking their children, as well as residents, to have a spring clean and make a donation.

It is hoped that people will be encouraged to get involved as part of Global Recycling Day, which takes place on Friday, March 18.

The recycling bin is located at the main entrance and is open from Monday to Friday between the hours of 9am and 3pm.

All funds raised from the collection of clothes is donated back into the school to pay for activities and equipment for the children.

Andrea Pankiw, chair of the PTA said: “The school has an Eco Council made up of students and pupils who are always introducing initiatives to help to save the planet and to reduce waste which will help the environment, they really want to make a difference.”

Report by Henry James A COUPLE from Maghull, aged 92 and 86, are grateful to the people who came to their help when a strong gust of wind blew them both over recently on a trip to Southport - but were less impressed when they returned to their car and found out they had got a parking fine.

HEALTH experts in Sefton want to make people aware of the early symptoms of ovarian cancer.

March is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month and health professionals want to help residents detect the disease early to stand a better chance of survival.

The key symptoms to look out for are a swollen stomach, a lump in the stomach, feeling bloated, pain or tenderness in the stomach, loss of appetite, feeling full quickly after eating and an urgent need to urinate or needing to urinate more often or both.

Ovarian cancer is the biggest gynaecological killer in the UK, with around 7,500 people being diagnosed each year.

The earlier the cancer is diagnosed the easier it is to treat, so it’s important to know what to look out for.

Dr Debbie Harvey, Macmillan GP and cancer clinical lead at N HS South Sefton Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) said: “If you experience any of these symptoms and they are persistent, severe, frequent, or feel out of the ordinary for you, you should contact your GP practice to get them checked out.

“GP practices are still here to help. You can contact your practice using their website or by phone. It is helpful to keep a record of your symptoms, when they occur and how severe they are, so that you can share this information when talking to your practice.

“Most people with these symptoms will not have cancer, but it’s important to get them checked out.”

Dr Graeme Allan, cancer lead for NHS Southport and Formby CCG, said: “Ovarian cancer mostly affects women over 50, but anyone with ovaries can be affected. Sadly, two thirds of ovarian cancer cases are currently diagnosed late when treatment is less effective.

“Many women aren’t aware of the key symptoms to look out for or may think that they are not serious or are related to another condition, which is why we’re raising awareness and urging people to read up on the symptoms.”

WORK to transform a section of high school playing field into a new 3G football pitch is starting to take shape.

Chesterfield High School has shared images of the ongoing construction work, giving a glimpse at how the pitch and floodlights will look.

The school was successful in applying for a grant from the Premier League, The Football Association and the government’s Football Foundation in order to create the new facility.

The pitch will be for the use of both the school and also the wider community, with locals able to hire the pitches seven days a week, up until 10pm on weekdays and 6pm on weekends.

Town centre living comes with perks and compromises

Re: Residents of the retirement flats off Moor Lane, Crosby, complaining about noise from a nearby bar.

I have never been in the bar in question, nor do I know the owners, but I’d like to think that I wasn’t alone in reading this article with a sense of ‘what did you expect?’

First and foremost, that section of Moor Lane is a town centre or district centre, as categorised for planning purposes.

If you can’t have pubs, bars and restaurants in a town centre, where are you meant to put them?

Yes, they do bring some noise at closing time but that’s why they are situated in town centres as opposed to primarily residential areas.

It was always a questionable approach by the Sefton Council planning department (endorsed by the elected planning committee) to allow Crosby town centre to become flanked on all sides by retirement flats - and of course these tensions were an inevitable consequence.

But a town centre it is, and to take up residence there then complain about normal town centre businesses seems unreasonable.

Of course if people are urinating in gardens, that’s a matter for the police, but certainly not the fault of local businesses.

Let’s hope the council, which allowed these huge retirement developments to go ahead, politely reminds the complainants that town centre living comes with some perks but also some compromise.

Taxpayers would pay for Covid tests You report that MP Bill Esterson said that Covid tests should remain free of charge.

I would have thought MPs of all political parties understand that nothing is free, as it has to be paid by somebody.

Covid tests are currently paid for by taxpayers.

If it is the opinion of Mr Esterson that individuals should not, in the future, have to pay for a Covid test, why did he not say that taxpayers should continue to pay for Covid tests?

Lark song could be lost to us forever if dunes are cleared

Nurses work hard, GPs have it cushy

Re: Proposed alternative coastal path.

This is a photo of a lark I took recently in Waterloo. You can see what remains of the old Coastal path in the photo also.

I visit this area most days and see and hear these beautiful birds as many have chosen these dunes as their habitat.

My main fear is if these dunes are cleared as some people have requested, rather than move the path a little inland, their habitat will be destroyed and the larks will be forced to move on and their song will be lost from here forever.

Here are some observations that I have made about my local surgery.

I have called in a couple of times lately with none urgent enquiries and seen the waiting room to be totally deserted.

Then, when needing an appointment for a real situation the walk-in bookings at opening time at 8am on the dot are not allowed.

‘Phone in for an appointment’ it states.

What a laugh.

The phone line is permanently engaged so no chance there.

No wonder our wonderful hospitals are over stretched with no option but to visit A&E. On my recent visit to Aintree I had to wait 11 hours before being seen.

But no complaints there because they work so hard, unlike our cushy GPs on shed loads of money.

Council could use cash from developers for tree planting Whilst I fully endorse your reader’s views about the bleak environment at Thornton Crematorium, why is Sefton Council not using funds it obtains from housing developers as part of the planning process for such tree planting?

These funds, known as Section 106 Agreements or Planning Obligations, are levied by the Council to lessen the impact on the community of the new housing developments.

Last December the council published its ‘Infrastructure Funding Statement’ for 20202021 which showed it had received £3,227,778.83 under planning obligations prior to 2020-21 that has yet to be assigned to specific projects.

The same report also showed that during 2020-21 the Council allocated (but did not spend) £437,252.69 of money received

Week 10.2022

under any planning obligation.

This money was “for various local projects for tree planting, greenspaces and local environmental improvements” in Wards across the borough.

Rather than asking the Champion to raise funds for tree planning, perhaps we should be asking our council why they are sitting on over £3.2million of S106 funding and why the individual ward councillors have not spent the £437,252 which was allocated to them for community benefit.

In addition to tree planting, such funding could also be used to refurbish the Coronation Park boating lake and numerous other environmental schemes.

I really do feel sorry for the armchair scientists, who don’t believe in climate change.

Just look at the extreme weather conditions such like heat waves, floods, and droughts what is happening in Britain and around the world.

Is climate change natural or is it man/woman made?

I believe after looking at all the evidence from 98% of the world’s scientists, that climate change is 20% natural and 80% man made.

We, the human race are destroying our planet earth in putting toxic and poisonous pollutants and gases into the air that we breathe which could make us feel unwell and the same toxic and poisonous gases are also helping to destroy the layers of the atmosphere that protect our planet earth from the sun’s ultraviolet rays.

We have got to act now before it's too late to save our planet.

Electricians urged to take up teaching to pass on their skills ELECTRICIAN S in Sefton have been urged to consider becoming a teacher to help educate the next generation of the workforce.

The recruitment campaign by Hugh Baird College is encouraging electricians to pass down their skills, knowledge and experience to budding electrical engineers by becoming a teacher or assessor on a full or part-time basis.

Demand for electricians in the Liverpool City Region is rising, with an expected 2% growth in jobs over the next five years and 20% of the workforce at retirement age within the next ten years.

The college has recently completed a substantial upgrade to its electrical installations teaching facilities and has announced an attractive package for those who join their teaching team.

Lynn Masterton, assistant principal of business engagement at Hugh Baird College, said: “Our students and apprentices deserve nothing but the best education and that means we need teachers and assessors who have lived and breathed the industry and have a passion for sharing their knowledge.

nd Centre at Martin Mere Wetla SAT 2 - MON 18

“We can offer applicants who wish to follow teaching the support to gain their teaching qualification and there are full and part-time positions available in both teaching and assessing.”

Writers’ club appeal to find lost trophy

Hazel Fort in 2019 with the Elizabeth Murphy Rose Bowl

APRIL

Hugh Baird College is looking for electricians.

CROSBY Writers’ Club has appealed for help to find a lost trophy, known as a the Elizabeth Murphy Rose Bowl.

The glass ornament was presented to member Hazel Fort in 2019 on loan for a year, in recognition of her novel ‘Opening’, which won first prize.

Hazel passed away last year and the group have been unable to contact her family to locate the trophy.

Angela Deegan, chair of Crosby Writers’ Club, said: “If anyone knows the whereabouts of our Elizabeth Murphy Rose Bowl and the engraved metal stand, would they kindly get in touch.”

The Elizabeth Murphy Rose Bowl was presented to the club by her family of Elizabeth Murphy when she died.

Elizabeth was 70 years-old when her first novels, the Liverpool Sagas, were published.

BOOTLE came out on top of a five goal thriller thanks to goals from Ben Hodkinson, Tom Peterson and substitute Connor Millington, writes Joseph Symes.

Bootle made the perfect start to the game as Ben Hodkinson cut inside and unleashed a fine curling effort inside of the post and it nestled into the net.

Michael Carberry played a great ball across the box to Tom Peterson who doubled Bootle’s lead.

Relegation fears deepen for Remyca after narrow loss Litherland Remyca 0 Wythenshawe Town 1 LITHERLAND Remyca were dealt a blow to their survival hopes after a narrow loss against high-flying Wythenshawe Town.

Remyca are rooted to the bottom of the table but have put in some impressive performances in recent weeks,

including a 5-0 away win at Ashton Athletic.

However, they were undone by a first half strike from Deanne Smalley, which gave the away side all three points.

The defeat for Remyca brings the much-feared fate of relegation much closer.

Wythenshawe came into the fixture as heavy favourites

Marine set for return to action this weekend MARINE were without a fixture last weekend, but will return to action this Saturday with a home match against 1874 Northwich.

The Mariners will look to earn all three points when the 14th placed visitors arrive at the Marine Travel Arena for the 3pm kick off, as the hosts aim to push on with their title challenge.

The results at the weekend saw Marine drop down to fourth, but they remain three points off top-placed Rylands and also have two games in hand.

It promises to be an exciting end to the season, with four teams hoping to clinch the Northern Premier League Division One West title.

having defeated Litherland Remyca 6-0 earlier in the season.

Smalley’s goal arrived when he picked up the ball on the edge of the opponent’s penalty area, before unleashing a sublime curling effort into the top corner, leaving Ryan Jones rooted.

Remyca struggled to forge any chances or sustain any possession of their own, until prior to half time, as a cross from the right channel missed everyone in the penalty area, falling to James Hammill at the back post, whose strike was comfortably saved by Morgan Bacon in the Wythenshawe goal.

The second half appeared much the same for the visitors, as they created a number of opportunities but couldn’t add to their lead.

Remyca tried to score an equaliser late in the game but Wythenshawe held on for the win.

Next match: Congleton Town vs Remyca.

PLANS PUT FORWARD AGAIN TO REDEVELOP TELEGRAPH HOUSE SITE Developer hopes public support for plans will persuade council to approve application Report by Tom Martin PLANS to knock down an ‘eyesore’ building in Crosby Village and replace it with apartments and shops have been put forward again after a similar proposal was refused last year.

Crossfield Exclusive Developments had a planning application for the site rejected by Sefton Council in October 2021.

The developer proposed to demolish Telegraph House and build a block of 72 apartments with a roof terrace along with shop units on the ground floor.

Many local residents and business owners had backed the proposal as a much-needed boost to the high street.

Crossfield is now looking to use the public support to persuade the council to re-evaluate its proposal in the hope it could now be approved, and have provided new images

of how the development will look.

The council said the plan was refused due to concerns over the design of the development, and a lack of on-site car parking and amenity space.

The new planning application by Crossfield states that the “significant levels of public support for the application proposal are a material consideration that weighs heavily in favour of the granting of planning permission.”

It adds that when the application was refused “there was widespread commentary in the press and approaches to the applicant and councillors, from local residents confirming their support for the proposal as it was the development they wanted to see take place.”

It states: “A key message was that the decision to refuse the application did not represent the interest of Crosby residents who saw the development of the site as a core part of their desire to see the centre regenerated.”

Crossfield Exclusive Developments bought Telegraph House for a reported £1million and say they want to “contribute to town centre amenities, increasing footfall to Crosby Village by transforming Moor Lane into a vibrant gateway to the town centre.”

Blundellsands and Crosby Physio opened August 2021 in the Crosby Baths.

Since then the clinic has gone from strength to strength. In addition to expert physiotherapy assessment and treatment the clinic offers a hydrotherapy service in Waterloo, sports massage and even home visit physiotherapy services.

HOME PHYSIO

HYDROTHERAPY

There are a great number for whom a trip to the clinic can be difficult. Getting the right support to improve balance, strength and confidence in a safe and controlled manner is vital for good health.

Physiotherapists are well placed to offer this service and it’s a privilege to be able to help people in their own homes.

When Tom Prior, 67, had to have his joint hip replacement removed due to a septic infection just before covid, he spent 20 months during lockdown without a hip. Once replaced he was unable to undertake hydrotherapy on the NHS due to covid restrictions and a friend recommended Ben to him.

“Since having hydrotherapy under Ben’s guidance I have improved both my ability to walk unaided and maintain my balance after such a long time on crutches and would highly recommend hydro treatment.”

The hydrotherapy group runs on a Monday morning in Waterloo at the Liverpool Swim Academy. Sessions last

Barking Mad

Supporting Local Business

A Dream Job and a Rare and Exciting Business Opportunity Barking Mad Dog Care was established in 2000 and is now nationally recognised but locally owned with over seventy Barking Mad business owners over the UK. Nicola took over the existing business almost nine years ago in the Southport, West Lancs and North Mersey area when she was looking for a change in career. She said she had always wanted her own business, and this ticked all the boxes as it was a premier service with a tried and tested business model. It fits around her family life and their two rescue dogs, with control over her own diary. It is also an investment as well as getting paid to do something she loved.

She quickly grew the business by over 100% in the first few years and it just continues to grow. Nicola then enlisted some help to assist with the chauffeur delivery of their furry visitors and additionally always has expert support and advice on hand from K9 HQ and all her neighbouring franchisee’s. They are all amazing and friends for life. We have thankfully survived the recession and pandemic and adapted as necessary.

Nicola explained that during the last nine years many of her customers have become friends too, and hosts are like family. She prides herself on matching dogs perfectly. It is great to see the dogs grow and form relationships with their host families. They are all dog passionate and look after the dogs as if they were their own.

Nicola has now been offered other opportunities and is looking for someone to follow in her footsteps as soon as possible. Business always comes in thick and fast in the New Year and this year is no exception with bookings already taken into next year.

SMASHING NEWS – quite literally. The safety boffins have been chucking vans at concrete blocks, and it turns out that if you’re going to have a shunt while doing deliveries for an online conglomerate, then Fiat’s Ducato is the best of the bunch.

The Italians have impressed the experts at Euro NCAP enough for them to name it as the first ever load-lugger to pick up a Platinum safety rating, but after that the party poppers and bunting were promptly packed away as the gurus decided to give the rest of the class a bit of a telling-off instead. I’m not sure exactly how Euro NCAP issues its feedback to the manufacturers, but it might as well have had a stern “Must do better – see me after class” scrawled across it in red biro.

There’s a strong possibility that you’re not especially fussed about whether the Ducato’s a safer buy, than say, Renault’s Master, largely because you drive a small hatchback and your only interaction with vans is when one from Ocado rocks up outside your house to deliver the shopping. However, it’s worth remembering that Britain’s best-selling vehicle last year was a van rather than a car – take a bow, Ford Transit – and that a lot of Brits spend their nine-to-five behind the wheel of one. Brits who, the safety boffins reckon, could have a bit more done to keep them safe in an accident.

The one that the experts gave a particular kicking was Nissan’s Interstar, which of the 19 vans tested was the only one that it gave its dreaded ‘Not Recommended’ rating, largely because it skips safety equipment that you get as standard on a Juke. To be fair to anyone tooling around in a Transit, they shouldn’t worry too much because it’s merely the secondsafest van on the market, with the Custom in fourth place. However, the overall assessment KIA’S EV6 has been crowned as European Car of the Year. The all-electric five-door crossover beat the Renault Mégane E-Tech, Hyundai IONIQ 5, Peugeot 308, Škoda Enyaq iV, Ford Mustang Mach-E and Cupra Born to take the title, in a competition this year dominated by zero emissions models. The EV6, which has a 328-mile range, is available to order now, with prices starting at £40,495.

Nissan is bringing new hybrid tech to its Qashqai this summer

from Euro NCAP was that there’s been “slow but steady improvement” from a year ago, when it derided the amount of safety kit being fitted to vans as “poor”.

There are all sorts of things the carmakers can do to make their commercial offerings do better in a crash, but I reckon the safety ratings themselves are part of the problem. Even people who aren’t that bothered about cars know that a five-star rating is par for the course these days, which is a system that Euro NCAP’s been using for more than 25 years. The van ratings, on the other hand, trickle down from the Ducato’s Platinum ranking through Gold, Silver, and Bronze. Not only does that make them sound like school swimming certificates, but it means that it’s almost impossible to see how much safer you are if you step out of a Sprinter and into a C-Class. The Peugeot Expert has a silver rating, for instance, having scored 44 per cent.

Nope, I’ve no idea whether that’s any good either.

Clearly, if we’re going to be demanding safer vans we need to know what one actually looks like – and the messaging’s a bit too murky at the moment.

David Simister is the editor of Classic Car Weekly

The EV6 impressed motoring experts from magazines across Europe

NISSAN’S launching a new hybrid version of its Qashqai later this summer. The e-Power is essentially a petrol-electric model, with a turbocharged 1.5-litre engine being used solely to charge up the battery for an electric motor.

Nissan claims that this makes it more efficient and kinder to the environment, but without the worry of charging up the car. There’s no word on pricing yet, but expect to cost more than the existing ‘mild hybrid’ Qashqai models, which use a more traditional system.
