SMILES ALL ROUND AS VENUES REOPEN Relief for restaurant and bar owners as customers allowed to return indoors Report by Tom Martin THERE was lots to celebrate for customers and staff in south Sefton’s hospitality sector this week after locals were allowed to meet up indoors and enjoy food and drinks!

Restaurants and bars across south Sefton are now able to reopen inside as lockdown rules were relaxed by the government on Monday, May 17.

Also up and running are art galleries, theatres, sports centres, cinemas and soft play centres, with people now allowed to meet inside and stay overnight in groups of six, or two households.

Andrew Peters, who co-owns So Salsa, Rock Salt and The Tree House, all in Crosby, was delighted to welcome back some familiar faces to his restaurants.

He told the Champion: “Covid has impacted everybody and hospitality has been hit hard.

“We are very lucky to have an amazing customer base, who have supported us every time we have adapted and changed the concept of our restaurants.

“The last five months felt like a year, but we are carrying on with a positive mind-set hoping that the next time we will close our doors will be Christmas, for the right reasons this time.”

There were similar feelings of relief from staff at

Michele Parry said: “It’s a relief to be open after being closed for over 150 days in 2020 and 135 days in 2021. Plus the endless restrictions during the limited time we were allowed to open.

“Our local customers have supported us amazingly since reopening on April 12, whilst enduring the elements of the British weather sitting outside!

“The future is looking brighter now for hospitality Continued inside

VETERANS in Sefton will benefit from free use of minibuses, resources, fuel and training and employment opportunities thanks to a new partnership with Apex Management Solutions.

The specialist transport provider has been discussing opportunities for partnering with the Sefton-based charity throughout Covid lockdown, and is now able to put plans into fruition as restrictions begin to lift.

Apex will provide free use of its minibuses to take groups to the Welsh mountains for vital break-away weekends, as well as offering pick up and drop off for some of the regular social sessions. Moving forward, they will offer training opportunities in both driving and support roles with the potential of long term employment.

Dave Smith of Veterans in Sefton explained: “It’s brilliant to be able to work closely with Apex, a local company who are keen to make an impact. We don’t always necessarily want additional funding, what we want is real and tangible support where we find practical ways that will make a lasting and positive impact on the people we work with. We are keen to work in partnership with businesses and are able to save considerable costs by working in this way.”

Veterans in Sefton provide critical support to former veterans across the borough whose ages range from 16 to 95. According to N HS figures, there are an estimated 27,000 veterans under the age of 65 in Sefton, around 13 per cent of whom have complex issues that need to be addressed.

Dave continued: “We’ve been talking through ideas for several months now and its brilliant to finally be able to put firm plans in place for our first away trip where we will use the Apex minibus.”

As an official partner of Veterans in Sefton, the team has nominated Apex for the Armed Forces Covenant which recognises organisations, businesses and individuals who support the veterans.

Phil Sorrell and Dave Smith from Veterans in Sefton with Stephen Heneghan of Apex Management Solutions

Dave added: “We have a really exciting partnership plan in place with Apex and their commitment to us undoubtedly deserves recognition, and so we we’re really pleased to be able to nominate them for the Armed Forces Covenant.”

Stephen Heneghan, managing director of Apex added: “Veterans in Sefton is a brilliant charity that delivers vital work to so many across Sefton.

“Run largely by veterans, there is a real sense of understanding as they explore the often complex issues affecting the lives of the veterans they work with, and find a tangible way forward.

“It’s fantastic to be able to help and support them in this way and now as lockdown is lifting, we can begin to help get them on the road!”

Rosa beat boredom in lockdown by writing a novel with her grandad!

He lives in Budapest but they kept in touch through internet video chats which inspired their children’s book Report by Tom Martin A YOUN G girl from Maghull and her granddad who lives abroad managed to team up over the lockdown period to write a book together!

Ten-year-old Rosa Parry kept in regular touch with her grandfather, Harlan Cockburn, who lives in Budapest, Hungary using an internet video chatting service and it blossomed into an idea to pen a children’s novel.

The book, called Autumn and the Wild World Web, is how a young girl, called Autumn, struggled with boredom and loneliness during lockdown until she was visited by an urban fox and it sparks an exciting adventure.

Rosa said: “I really enjoyed our calls on Zoom and always thinking about what to do next in the story.

“I got surprised sometimes by the things we came up with because there were twists we made up.

“I love the thought of people reading the book, and it’s for adults too.

“Even people who are seventy could enjoy it.

“My teacher was excited about the book and said she would order a copy for school.

“We have a ‘Proud Wall’ at school and grandad and I got our names on it, and a gold star each. N ow I definitely want to write another book!”

Harlan, who writes under the pseudonym Harefield, said: “Rosa and I started chatting on Zoom at a time when she was down about missing school and her friends through lockdown.

“Those feelings are expressed in the opening chapter of Autumn and the Wild World Web. “I am based in Budapest, Hungary, so throughout the pandemic have been

Rosa with a copy of her book

unable to visit my British family.

“We then started discussing what Rosa would like to happen during lockdown, and soon found that we had started telling an adventure story together.

“We allowed our ideas to roam everywhere, and the result is a novel which is not just for ten year olds, but can appeal to anyone who enjoys a heartfelt tale.

“There’s also a strong ecological and nature-loving element to the story, and although the setting is not specified, readers in the Maghull area may recognise

some locations!

“Rosa is also the cover artist, and drew a heading illustration for each chapter.

“The book is now available in hardback and paperback versions, from Amazon, with the authors credited as Harefield & Rosa.

“The experience of writing across a sixtyyear age gap and at around twelve hundred miles distance was never less than the best of fun!”

Autumn and the Wild World Web is available to buy from Amazon.co.uk

Residents still urged to remain cautious to prevent spread of virus as lockdown eased From page 1. with the success of the vaccine roll out.

“We are now hoping for normality to return, when restrictions are relaxed and we can reopen up fully on June 21, allowing large groups to gather for parties.”

Locals are still being reminded to stay cautious, though, to avoid the risk of spreading the virus.

Cllr Paulette Lappin, Sefton Council’s cabinet member for corporate services said: “While it’s great news that we’ve moved into the next stage of lockdown relaxations, and we all want to make the most of them, it’s essential that we stick to all the precautions including the rule of six.

“As we have seen with the rise in cases over the last week and the emergence of

the variant first identified in India, Covid-19 is still very much present in Sefton and distancing, wearing face coverings where required and frequent thorough handwashing remain important to keeping ourselves and others safe.

“Our Environmental Health team are reporting that the vast majority of Sefton’s businesses, bars and restaurants have been doing a great

job to meet the requirements and keep their staff and their customers safe. And customers have been doing their bit and complying with restrictions.

“But if any local businesses want any advice or support from our Environmental Health team, they can contact them at ETSContact@ sefton.gov.uk or by calling 0345 140 0345.

Covid eviction ban due to expire at end of May Report by Tom Martin TENANTS and landlords in Sefton have been urged to seek support as the government’s ban on evictions comes to an end on Monday, May 31.

The ban, which was brought into place in response to the coronavirus pandemic, was extended from its original September deadline but will now end on the last day of May. Sefton Council’s Homeless Prevention Service can provide advice to the borough’s tenants and landlords and they are urging anyone affected to get in touch.

They can help tenants find support to help maintain their tenancy or with moving on to more affordable and suitable accommodation.

They can also assist landlords that are facing issues such as rent arrears and late or inconsistent rent payments.

Landlords who have concerns about vulnerable tenants can also contact the team for support in resolving the situation.

Cllr Trish Hardy, Sefton Council’s Cabinet Member for Communities and Housing said: “The impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on many

Cllr Trish Hardy

people’s circumstances and incomes is likely to be making the costs of housing a problem for some people in Sefton.

“We want any tenants who think they might be facing problems after the Government ends its eviction ban at the end of May to contact us as soon as possible so that we can work with them to find practical solutions.

“And we want to hear from landlords expecting difficulties, so that we can help them reach practical solutions without the lost rent and other costs that can result from evictions and disputes.”

Problems Sefton Council wants to hear from tenants who have received an eviction notice or have rent arrears, who are managing out-

standing and current debts or who are trying to reduce their expenses or get the most from their income.

People having problems applying for Discretionary Housing Payments (DHPs) and with concerns about their own or family members’ mental health, drug or alcohol issues affecting your tenancy should also contact the service.

Landlords who contact the team may be concerned about affordability issues due to a change in circumstances, antisocial behaviour, their tenant’s mental health, addiction or other vulnerabilities that are affecting the tenancy.

Cllr Hardy added: “It is not always easy to talk about these issues, but Sefton Council’s Homeless Prevention Service can help start that conversation easier and then to find constructive ways to overcome the problems.

“I would urge any tenants or landlords who are worried to contact the Team now at homeless.prevention@sefton.gov.uk or on 07966 698 065 or 07870 379586.”

The former Harrison House care home.

Former care home could be turned into hotel and restaurant Report by Henry James

A FORMER care home in Maghull could be turned into a hotel and restaurant under plans put to Sefton Council.

The Mikhail Group which runs the Bold Hotel in Southport want to renovate Harrison House and convert it into a 16-room hotel with a restaurant and bar/lounge which could also be used for function hire.

The building was owned by the Parkhaven Trust but has become disused since more modern facilities north of the site were opened.

The application states that the building is no longer viable for modern day care standards, and that an alternate use would be beneficial to the building as well as the local area.

The existing gatehouse will also be renovated and there will be a 100 space car park created under the plans.

The Mikhail Group describe the property as “truly stunning” and state that they have “a passion for resorting or renovating buildings of significant local or historical importance.”

The statement adds: “We would encourage anyone to visit The Bold Hotel in Southport and just appreciate the venue. We are immensely proud of the work undertaken which we believe to be completed to the highest of standards.

“At the start of each project the aim is to bring the building to life, to appreciate and restore its existing features and highlight them to our benefit.

“We aim to restore buildings and compliment their characteristics while at the same time tastefully adding a standard of finish that would be expected of modern society when they visit a high end hospitality venue.”

The planning application states that the new hotel would look to reuse the “existing internal configuration as much as possible to prevent any harm to the internal fabric of a listed building.”

Edith was the youngest sister in a family of five siblings and she married twice, firstly to John Birchall in 1940 but he sadly passed away 14 years later.

Two years later, she was re-married to Ivor Parnell and they lived happily in Bootle until he died in 2001.

Burglary victim speaks of terror ordeal at the hands of armed raiders ‘It’s not just jewellery that the thieves stole but part of our family history ’ she says as appeal is launched

Visit us @ www.ChampNews.com l 7

Man held over £10m drugs seizure THREE men, including one from Aintree, have been charged in relation to the seizure of drugs worth more than £10million in an operation by the Organised Crime Partnership (OCP)– a team of officers from the National Crime Agency and Metropolitan Police Service.

OCP officers seized 109kg of cocaine and 15kg of heroin after raiding an industrial unit in Enfield, north London, on April 27.

The drugs had a street value of

£10,220,000. The accused have been charged with conspiracy to supply Class A drugs and remanded to appear at Wood Green Crown Court on May 17.

They are: Antonio Monobianco, 42, of Wanstead, London formerly Enfield, London; Levi Howarth, 25, of Barnsley, formerly Wakefield,, and David Owens, 61, of Preston, formerly of Aintree.

Seven other men arrested in the same operation have been released under investigation.

Report by Tom Martin A WOMAN from Crosby, who was the victim of an armed burglary when four masked men broke into her home and threatened her with a knife, has spoken out about her terrifying experience.

The local resident, who is aged in her 60s, did not wish to be named, but has spoken out about the ordeal and how it has left a damaging impact on her life.

It happened on Wednesday, December 2 last year when the cowardly burglars pretended to be delivery men before they barged through the door, knocking the resident to the floor.

They then threatened her with a knife and a hockey stick as they stole two large safes from her house.

The safes contained sentimental jewellery as well as golden Hindu statues of God Ganesha and Goddess Lakshmi, which are important to her family’s faith.

The woman was left with leg injuries following her ordeal and was extremely shaken.

She said: “Since the burglary, my family and I have really struggled to come to terms with what has happened to us.

“Much of what was taken is irreplaceable – items of jewellery that have been passed down to us from our parents and grandparents that have been in our family for

Some of the jewellery taken from the house

generations.

“We feel like it’s not just possessions that have been taken from us but a part of our family history.

“They ’ve also taken statues of the God Ganesha and Goddess Lakshmi which are really important to our Hindu faith. They are symbolic of good fortune and positivity in the home and so by taking these statues the thieves have taken away our symbols of hope.

“It’s taken us a while to get together pictures of what was stolen from us because some of the pieces of jewellery haven’t been worn for a while so we have needed to go through our old photo albums to find everything.

“N ow that these pictures have been released I’d ask anyone who may know anything about the burglary to please come forward to try and help my family and I regain what we have lost.”

One of the men was described as a white man, skinny and tall with dark coloured

eyes. He was wearing a black face mask, black boots, a beanie hat, beige tracksuit top bottoms and gloves.

A second man was described as having curly hair and wearing a full green, pink and black face mask.

The men are believed to have left the scene in a blue car.

Detective Inspector Tony O’Brien said: “This was a disgraceful crime which has had a lasting impact on the victim.

“Many of the items stolen are family heirlooms with a great deal of sentimental value.

“We are releasing images of some of these very distinctive items and would ask anyone who has seen any of the items, or may have been offered them for sale or as a gift, to contact us.

“Although some time has passed since the incident, as the victim has needed time to gather images of all the items stolen, we would urge anyone who has seen the items or has any information to let us know.”

Street garden project welcomed by residents AN innovative environmental project in south Sefton which is creating 80 new sustainable street gardens has received an enthusiastic welcome from local residents.

Following introductory sessions at North Park and South Park, in Bootle, families quickly took up all the available spaces in the first phase of the Community Growing Circle project, which involves them in planting out and creating ‘mini farms’ in the narrow front yards in front of their homes.

The aim of the project is to highlight the benefits of the circular food economy - growing your own food, eating it and then composting the waste to help grow more produce.

The project has been established by the Taking Root in Bootle community gardening network with the help of a grant from the Liverpool City Region Community Environment Fund.

Each household taking part in the project receives a front yard growing starter kit which includes pots, troughs, a water butt and a kitchen caddie for collecting and transporting food waste to the new community compost bins in the local parks.

The project is also supplying soil, seeds and plants to enable residents to grow lettuces, spring onions, tomatoes, green beans, carrots, courgettes, raspberries and strawberries.

Families have even had the opportunity to request a dwarf fruit tree and planter to enable them to grow miniature varieties of apples, pears, plums or cherries.

The distribution of the kits started in April, and families are now planting and growing in earnest, with support from the project organisers.

Ruth Livesey of Sefton-based social enterprise

Mike Stock of MJS Joinery who helped create the sign, Jonathan Aiken from the Gorse Hill Nature Reserve, and FOMD members Michelle Rossiter, Reverend David Hamlet, Val Bridges.

Residents donate more than 200 shrubs for community woodland The project is helping residents to create a network of street gardens

Regenerus, who co-ordinates Taking Root, said: “By using unlikely growing spaces in front of residents’ homes as urban street farms we will enhance biodiversity and create greener communities.

“We also aim to show how growing at home and community composting can help to reduce food miles, packaging and waste, and provide families with delicious fresh produce literally on their doorstep.”

Healthcare firm expands into former Vernon’s Pools site creating 25 jobs PREVENTATIVE healthcare company PAM Group has doubled the warehouse capacity for its specialist retail business with a £3million investment in new premises on Aintree, which will create more than 20 jobs.

PAM Group has acquired Fortune House, a 30,750sq ft warehouse on the Sefton Business Park which was built in 1989 as a call centre for Vernon’s Pools.

The site on Deltic Way includes an area earmarked for seven smaller units cover-

ing a further 18,700 sq ft.

Plans for these additional units have been submitted to Sefton Council.

The warehouse will be the main storage and distribution centre for PAM Health, which sells exercise, fitness, sports, ergonomic, physiotherapy and rehabilitation equipment.

Fast-growing PAM Health supplies consumers as well as professionals such as physiotherapists, and healthcare providers.

It has expanded through acquisitions as well as organ-

ically, with revenues on track to reach £5m this year.

James Murphy, founder and chief executive of PAM Group, said the investment would initially generate 25 new jobs across PAM Health’s warehousing, sales and customer service operations, rising to 50 over the next couple of years.

Following a fit-out of the warehouse, the company plans to install video recording and photographic studios there alongside a technical support unit.

MORE than 200 mature shrubs have been donated by residents in Maghull to improve a community woodland area in the town.

The Friends of Maghull & District made an appeal for woodland themed shrubs and say they were amazed by the response.

FOMD trustee Dr Frank Sharp said: “Many of the plants we have received have huge sentimental value and we wish to convey a heartfelt thank you to everyone for their amazing support which not only demonstrates the community spirit but how the pandemic has drawn people closer to nature.

“We now want to raise £5,000 to continue the huge challenge of improving this woodland

area with further plants.

“We have received a terrific boost and feel privilege to be partnered with our local Co-op as one of their charities of the year.”

Group member Rev David Hamlett added: “We would like to express our gratitude to Mike Stock of MJS for donating £500, to enable Derek & Jonathan Aiken (owners of Gorse Hill Nature Reserve) to create our bespoke beautiful rustic ‘welcome sign’.”

“Derek has only made these bespoke signs for their nature reserve previously, but because of his cherished memories of living and playing in the area, he undertook this specialised work for material cost only.”

A previous Waterloo Festival

Waterloo Festival to return this summer!

THE popular Waterloo Festival is set to return this summer after last year’s event was postponed due to the coronavirus.

The event will be held over the weekend of July 30 - August 1 at its usual venue in Crosby Coastal Park.

Full details will be announced soon, but 22 bands have already been booked to play, including local favourites The Amazing Kappa Band, The Heavy North and the first-ever gig for Wai Maui, who had their aspirations put on hold because of the lockdowns.

Alongside the music there will be a family funfair and street market with a variety of pop-up food

stalls including vegan options. There will also be community based stalls, exhibitions, displays and performances.

Organiser Steve McGriskin said: “Most of the musicians playing the festival live locally showcasing the vibrant music scene that exists in Waterloo.

“It will be great to be back, but Covid will still be present in our community so we will take steps to reduce the risk of virus transmission taking place at the festival.”

More details about this year’s Waterloo Festival will be published online at waterloofestival.co.uk from Friday (May 21).

Hospital worker’s book tells of her experience with breast cancer Report by Tom Martin

AN inspirational worker from Aintree Hospital who won the prestigious title of Employee of the Year was left rocked just days later following a breast cancer diagnosis at the age of 35.

Danielle McDermott, a Patient Experience and Engagement Officer, has now written her own book, Bald, Brave and Bloody Beautiful, detailing her journey through breast cancer.

The mum-of-one, who lives in Kirkby, checked her breast just one day before the staff awards ceremony at St George’s Hall in N ovember 2018. She felt a lump, but was unwell with a chest infection and thought nothing of it and fell back asleep.

The next day she won Employee of the Year, alongside being nominated for Innovator of the Year and Professional Excellence for Life after Stroke for her work at Aintree Hospital, but still couldn’t shake the feeling that something wasn’t right.

Danielle said: “Something was just telling me no, check your breast again. And that’s when I definitely could feel a lump in my left breast.

“I was in the breast clinic at Aintree just four days later when I was diagnosed with the devastating news of breast cancer.”

At the time of Danielle’s diagnosis, her colleagues didn’t know if it had spread so a biopsy was taken to understand more.

Two weeks later she was told she had grade 2 invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC), which is cancer that has started in the cells of the milk duct and spreads to the tissue of the breast She would need to have a mastectomy and reconstruction surgery. IDC is the most common form of breast cancer.

Danielle said: “I felt my femininity had been taken away from me when I lost my breast and my hair.

LETTERS to the Editor

We must protect our dunes I am writing to raise an important issue regarding the wanton destruction of our sand dunes on the Sefton Coast between Blundellsands and Hightown.

I cycle this stretch almost daily and over the course of 10 days witnessed no less than five incidents where the dunes have been set ablaze, destroying the natural habitat and ecosystem that is home to birds and other wildlife, and potentially

The Champion l Wednesday 19 May 2021

undermining the defence against coastal erosion (see photos right).

I am writing to ask what can be done to safeguard our dunes - for example, greater police presence, community/volunteer fire patrols, installation of CCTV cameras etc.

If action is not taken soon, I fear there will be none of our beautiful sand dunes left.

Dr Michael Brennan

Indiscriminate glue traps For the safety of the public and other none targeted species, can I point out the following.

Glue traps are recommended for indoor use only to trap vermin.

Unfortunately the traps are not just being used indoors and do not discriminate as to what animals they trap.

The traps are lethal to wildlife and if you find a none-targeted species on one, the following is recommended by one manufacturer in a reply to me.

This is important information as it concerns humans as well as wildlife.

The best products to use to free anyone or any animal from the glue traps are the following: Olive oil, sunflower oil, rapeseed oil, sesame oil, avocado oil, vegetable oil or coconut oil.

Praise for vaccine staff I’ve just got home from having my first Covid vaccine, at Aintree Village Community Centre.

I was so worried about having the vaccine but when I got to the centre the staff were fantastic.

The volunteer in the car park was so helpful and the man on the door was so reassuring and put

me at ease, he also had a great sense of humour, which made my worries go away.

I would like to say a big thank you to all the volunteers, doctors and nurses at the centre and also around the country.

Without them, we wouldn’t be able to vaccine the 64m living in this country.

Privileged to have space for yet another wheelie bin I must assume that some people are privileged enough to have space for yet another wheelie bin.

Many residents do not have space and do not want, nor can they fully utilise, another bin specifically for glass. Some people are forced to store them in front of their homes.

Is this the image our lovely town wants to portray?

Meatballs could have done better research Re: Life on Cars (Champion May 12).

You may wish to point out to writer, David Simister, that he would not ‘conk out’ on the M57 somewhere on the way home from IKEA, because he can charge his car while eating his meatballs, giving him enough charge to comfortably get home.

It’s truly embarrassing that he contrives such a specific ‘setup to fail’ scenario of picking a very

short range, last-generation vehicle and then taking a ridiculously pessimistic estimate of the remaining range... and still manages to be wrong simply through not undertaking the most elementary of research to discover that IKEA Warrington has several charging points, neatly hitting on the fact that even a very old, short range EV is still sufficient for his real world use-case.

There are many arguments to

‘Fossil fool’ must have downer on electric cars David Simister, in his column ‘Life on Cars’ urged us not to write in to complain that he has an unreasonable downer on electric cars.

Unfortunately David then went on to make a fool of himself by stating that he couldn't possibly buy a second hand Nissan Leaf as it’s estimated range of 45 miles wouldn’t allow him to get from Southport to IKEA at Warrington to stock up on meatballs. He said that he would run out of battery power ‘somewhere on the M57 on the return trip’.

What David seems to have overlooked, through either lack of knowledge or for deliberate mischief making, is that IKEA has rapid 50kw electric car chargers in the car park and by the time he had been in and picked up his meatballs and

be made against Electric Vehicles at a societal level, and the question of how folk in 2-up-2-down houses so common near Warrington will be able to charge is valid, but this is a rather pathetic attempt at edginess rather than an honest attempt at discourse.

I rather suspect the meatballs could have done a better job of researching that particular piece.

Jon Story, Southport

Keep walking!

had a browse or a coffee his car would be fully charged (around half an hour) and he would get home without problem.

He also fails to factor in other rapid chargers within a mile of IKEA or those on his route either via the M6 or Ormskirk, St, Helens etc Knowledge They are everywhere now.

If David doesn’t want people to think he’s a fossil fuel champion with a downer on electric cars maybe he should write a proper article with factual information to help people choose to drive electric or not.

That would require some research and knowledge of the facts though.

During the pandemic, people in Liverpool City Region rediscovered the simple act of walking – the oldest, cheapest and greenest transport there is.

It has allowed us to stay healthy, happy and connected to those around us.

But lots of us still struggle with narrow, cluttered, uneven pavements; crossings that prioritise cars rather than people; and growing numbers of speeding vehicles.

That’s why I support Living Streets’ Manifesto for Walking Liverpool City Region. It called for candidates in the mayoral election to pledge to end pedestrian deaths and injuries on roads, tackle air pollution, make school streets safe and make walking easier by cutting the clutter on our pavements.

It is time we redesigned our streets around people not cars.

The All on 4 System is the perfect solution to missing teeth and dentures!

CONTACT US TODAY TO BOOK IN

Wouldn’t it be amazing to sleep through your dental treatment?

At the Liverpool Dental Spa we offer sedation which will allow you to get the smile you have always dreamed of!

Liverpool Dental Spa can offer nervous patients pain free dentistry no matter how big or small using sedation this will allow the most nervous patients to go through any dental procedure calmly and successfully.

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 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!”

Dr Marius McGovern, clinical director at Liverpool Implant and Aesthetic Dental Spa

Composer has harder job with BMW than creating a movie soundtrack!

BMW’S latest M-badged offering sounds like a great Read your Champion online - www.champnews.com car – and one that can trace its roots all the way

back to Video Killed The Radio Star.

Wondering what a new arrival from Munich’s bestknown purveyors of performance motoring could possibly have to do with a new wave hit from the late Seventies (which, incidentally, was the first song ever played by MTV)?

Well, it’s all to do with one of the band’s experts in synthesisers, who’s now been lined up to give you goosebumps when you put your foot down.

Even if you’ve never heard of Hans Zimmer and you aren’t old enough to remember The Buggles, you’ll probably know his work.

The German composer and record producer is best known for his work on film soundtracks, adding his aural expertise to more than 150 movies. The Lion King.

Gladiator. Pirates of the Caribbean. Inception. Dunkirk.

Blade Runner 2049. If you’ve seen any of them at your nearest multiplex, then you’ll have heard Hans Zimmer ’s handiwork first-hand.

But now he’s been given a far tougher gig than doing

All-electric Combo Life is announced AN all-electric version of Vauxhall’s Combo Life people carrier is available to order now.

Prices for the Combo e-Life which has a 174mile range start at £31,610, with the first cars due to arrive with their new owners in October.

It’ll only be available in one trim level, SE, but it’ll be available in both Medium size and as a longer XL model.

DID YOU KNOW? You can read your Champion online every week... on your smartphone, tablet or computer

the score for The Dark Knight– convincing car enthusiasts that they’ll enjoy an electric model just as much as a petrol one.

BMW knows all too well that the howl of, say, an E46-generation M3’s perfectly tuned straight six is one of the key sources behind the car’s enjoyment, and that if it isn’t careful all of its go-faster offerings could end up sounding like depressed milk floats by 2030. So, it’s handed over to Hans to create a synthesised soundtrack for its M-badged versions of the i4. That car isn’t due to be launched until later this year, so instead I ended up watching a video that Hans and BMW did the other day to show their working.

There’s lots of stuff about being clever with synthesisers – although probably not enough to trouble Daft Punk fans – and about how performance BMWs need to sound explosive, but it was only at the very end that you got the briefest snippet of how the i4 M is going to assault your eardrums.

It sounds like…. well, it sounds like a BMW when you put your foot down!

Surely, if I were the BMW Group’s creative director for sound (and yes, that job title really does exist), I’d be wanting Hans to come up with something that easily tops his work on Tenet.

If the i4 M’s going to be the first performance BMW to have its own score, I’d want it to sound like the best bits of an Aston Martin V12, an Alfa Romeo V6 and a Lotus Twin Cam, depending on what mood you’re in and which part of the rev range you’re exploring. Or, given that Hans is world class when it comes to synthesisers, something that easily outdoes anything Bronski Beat could manage. Or The Buggles, for that matter.

BMW were never going to be there first with an electric performance car, as Tesla chucked its towel on that deckchair years ago. But it can at least make it sound better than anyone else can.

I presume you’ll be able to stream the finished result on iTunes too…

Josephs

All that Glitters in the heart of Ormskirk If you are a fan of the new TV show ‘All That Glitters’, we are sure you will be delighted to know that Josephs jewellers in Ormskirk has their very own exceptionally talented in-house goldsmith. Josephs are renowned for creating bespoke jewellery using their goldsmith Nic, who has over 40 years experience in the art of making hand crafted jewellery. Josephs current team of people have been together for over a decade and their wealth of experience enables them to consult with their customer and establish a relationship, gaining an insight into their jewellery tastes and desires. This allows them to create a truly unique and individual piece of jewellery just for you.

This year is their 20th year in business and they wanted to celebrate by launching a bespoke Josephs branded collection, using the combination of skills from their goldsmith Nic and the passion and influence from Sean who is the owner of Josephs. Drawing on Sean’s inspiration from nature, the ‘ADDITIONS’ range was born. ‘Cascade’ is the first seasonal collection and was launched earlier this year.

The exquisite design of this bespoke collection,

encapsulates the diamond in a seamless circular setting emulating pools of effervescent water. The second collection has also been inspired by nature and will be launched soon.

Due to Josephs in-house workshop, goldsmith and design capabilities, they are able to create many different jewellery options for their customers. From bangles to lockets, pendants and engagement rings, to individual bespoke designs. Family heirlooms and other precious jewellery can also be remodelled to the requirements of the customer. Josephs can turn sentimental family heirlooms into fashionable every-day pieces, making them more wearable and likely to be passed down to future generations.

If you would like to know more about the services they provide and are perhaps looking to remodel some of your existing jewellery, please call into their studio on Burscough street, Ormskirk where Sean and his team will be happy to help.

Molloys Furnishers

Supporting Local Business

We then expanded further to Lytham to allow us tocover more of the North West. We are one of the oldest family businesses in Southport and currently have the fourth generation of Molloys working within the business.

We pride ourselves on the excellent service and value given by the Molloy family and their staff. Being a family run business for so long shows just how much we care about the furniture shops we run.

Supplying the best furniture possible throughout Lytham and Southport is top priority on our list and we fulfil this by offering nothing less than brand new, well priced and British made home furniture.

Molloys Furnishers has been an established furniture supplier since 1932; today it has its fourth generation working within the company to continue the fantastic work...

Originally the first furniture store opened on Ashley Road, Southport. We soon opened in St James Street so we were able to offer a vast range of furniture.

During our years as furnishers we have constantly expanded our range of furniture available to supply. So no matter which room in your house you are looking to perk up, we have just what you are looking for.

The array of furniture we supply for your home includes

tables and chairs for your kitchen or dining room. If you are looking to refresh the bedroom with a new look we have everything covered from brand new comfy beds to unique and modern wardrobes. One of our more popular furniture products would be the recliner chairs, which isn’t a surprise as we believe this is the piece of furniture that everybody needs for their home. The fantastic Sherborne and Celebrity chairs are available in our furniture shops now so what are you waiting for!

If you have any enquires please visit or call our furniture store today. For the Southport shop please call 01704 548101 or for the Lytham shop please call 01253 731433.

Like all businesses, 2020 and the beginning of 2021 has been an uncertain time for Molloys. We have had to adapt the way our business works to make sure we are still providing that same great level of service to our customers even though our doors had to close.

We’re so pleased to be open and to welcome everyone back in store! We look forward to seeing you soon!
