Crumbling school to get a rebuild

YOBS TARGETED IN BOROUGH-WIDE ASB CRACKDOWN Report by Tom Martin

Youngsters Lara and Freddie cool off with a lolly ice!

What a scorcher!

THOUSANDS of people flocked to the borough’s beaches and other beauty spots across Sefton to make the most of the soaring temperatures.

As mercury levels soared over the past few days to record levels, locals and visitors were seen soaking up the sun, with beaches in Crosby, Formby, Ainsdale and Southport all busy.

On Sunday afternoon, Lifeboat Road, in Formby, was closed off by police as a nearby car park was full and there were still hundreds of cars still trying to get to the beach. Cont. inside

POLICE and council officials have stepped up their efforts to prevent antisocial behaviour across Sefton this week.

The national ASB awareness week, which runs from July 18-24, has seen Merseyside Police and Sefton Council spread awareness to local residents on how they can prevent it from happening in their communities in Sefton.

During the week, there have been high visibility patrols, partner walkarounds and a continued focus on the Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO), which allows police to disperse people engaged in ASB. Chief Superintendent for Local Policing, Zoe Thornton said: “Anti-social behaviour is a priority for Merseyside Police and this awareness week offers an opportunity to highlight the issues of ASB and the impact it can have on the local communities.

“Everyone has the right to feel safe in their home and community and our activities this week, alongside our partners, will highlight some of the work that we undertake on a daily basis to support our

“Tackling and preventing ASB is one of my priorities, so I welcome all the fantastic multi-agency initiatives planned by Merseyside Police, Sefton Council and all our partners during ASB Awareness Week and beyond.

Opportune “Everyone deserves to feel safe where they live. I hope this week will highlight some of the great work which is going on across the region day in day out to improve the safety of our neighbourhoods, helping people to feel safer and

happier in their communities.” Cllr Trish Hardy, Sefton Council’s Cabinet Member for Communities and Housing, said: “In Sefton we continue to do all we can alongside our partners in the police, to curb any and all instances of anti-social behaviour (ASB).

“We hope that the community join us in supporting Anti-Social Behaviour Awareness week and this is an opportune moment for us all to remind ourselves of what we can do to help keep our fantastic borough safe and free from this kind of harm and upset.

“We have a committed and hard working ASB team who regularly team up with partners in housing and uniformed services to support victims, as well as proactively reducing the amount of ASB we see in our communities.

“The Sefton Safer Communities Partnership funds, via its Crime Reduction Grant, many activities throughout the year that offer diversionary activities to help reduce Anti-Social behaviour.”

Police launch new website for residents to upload footage of potential burglars Report by Tom Martin The Saltbox

SEFTON residents can now upload video footage to a police-monitored website showing ‘suspicious activity’ taken from their home security cameras or smart doorbells.

Merseyside Police has launched a link to the website to enable members of the public to notify officers of possible burglars in their area.

Detective Inspector Tony O’Brien from Operation Castle at Merseyside Police, said: “Sometimes these suspicious characters are captured on camera peering through windows or trying door handles, but quite often they may be seen simply looking around the outside of the property.

“When homeowners discover they have video footage of this sort of suspicious behaviour, they often do not realise its potential evidential value. In isolation, it may appear that there are no apparent criminal offences and that it’s a trespasser or prowler.

“We’ve encountered many instances where this type of video footage has been published by members of the public on social media, but this is a wasted opportunity to share visually recorded evidence with detectives in the Operation Castle team.

“Footage of suspicious circumstances like this can actually be valuable in many ways, even if it doesn’t appear to show any offences. These video clips can help us build a case by identifying the movements of suspects in particular locations at certain times and dates, along with piecing together aspects of their description.

Pub reopens after major £160,000 refurbishment An example of a ‘suspicious’ person caught by a smart doorbell

“Our new submission portal makes it easy for the public to upload this type of footage directly for the attention of our burglary team.

“When a burglary has occurred, we already provide a unique link to enable the victim and witnesses to upload relevant video footage. The new portal link we’re launching is aimed at circumstances where there has been no crime reported, but the suspicious behaviour could potentially be related to a burglary.

“We’re appealing to the public, please don’t just publish video footage like this on social media, send it to us so we can assess its evidential value. Your video clip may be the missing piece in a puzzle that helps us put a burglar before the courts.”

People can upload footage by using the following link: https://unitedkingdom1cpp-portal.digital-policing.co.uk/merseyside/appeal/castle

A LITHERLAND pub has reopened after a £160,000 upgrade.

The Salt Box, on Linacre Road, has opened its doors once more after a wide-scale revamp.

Jeanette Rowan and Reg Whewell, who have been running the pub for seven years, say they are delighted with the refurbishment.

Jeanette said: “This pub is a real gem in the community. It’s such a part of Litherland. We are over the moon with the refurbishment and just so glad to be open again for all our customers.”

The pub is part of the award-winning Craft Union Pub Company, who were named the Best Community Operator at the 2022 Publican Awards.

Reg added: “We are a traditional community pub and thanks to these latest works we can serve the community even better.”

Campaigners hold demonstration to help protect Beagles

Man dies in road traffic collision A MALE pedestrian was killed in a road traffic incident in Maghull on Sunday evening (July 10).

The pedestrian was in collision with an HGV truck on Northway close to the junction of Dodds Lane.

Paramedics attended but the man, who in his 50s, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of the HGV stopped at the scene and is assisting with enquiries.

Sergeant Steve Smith from Merseyside Police, Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “Sadly a man has lost his life following the incident and our thoughts are with his family and friends.

“We have launched an investigation into the collision and would ask anyone who was driving along Northway last night who saw anything prior to the collision or the collision itself, or thinks they captured something on their dash cam, to contact us.”

Ford Ward members call for end to suspension MEMBERS of Labour Party ’s Ford Ward are calling for its ongoing suspension to be lifted eight months after it was first announced.

The Champion reported in December 2021, that Labour’s National Executive Committee had acted following allegations of “intimidation and harassment.”

The south Sefton members, who have always disputed the claims, say that they have been kept in the dark and still haven’t been told when or if the suspension will be lifted.

The ongoing restrictions in place mean that Ford Ward members can’t meet, can’t select candidate for elections and no branch delegate may seek any office in the Labour Party.

The Champion has contacted the Labour Party for an update on its investigation, but received no response.

One Ford Ward member, who wanted to remain anonymous, told the Champion: “As a member I have a right to know what’s going on. As far as I’m concerned, there has been no evidence of any intimidation or harassment. It feels like someone is pulling the wool over our eyes.”

Campaigners say the Liverpool demonstration was a big success

CAMPAIGNERS from Sefton who want to protect Beagle dogs that they claim are bred for experiments, held a demonstration in Liverpool.

The Merseyside Beagle Club, which is based in Formby and has members from Crosby, held an event last week in Liverpool city centre to spread their message.

Accompanied by their own Beagles, members told passers-by how they are campaigning for an end to facilities that carry out animal experiments.

The event was one of 74 held in locations throughout the UK A spokesperson for the group said: “The support and interest from the public was phenomenal.

“We were delighted at the wonderful response we received from members of

the public with people queuing at our stall to find out how they could help the campaign and to sign our petition to the government calling for animal experiments to be replaced with humane nonanimal methods.”

The Merseyside Beagle Club are particularly concerned with an animal research facility called MBR Acres, in Cambridgeshire.

The site, in Wyton, near Huntingdon, hit the headlines in November last year when singer Will Young took part in a demonstration outside the facility which breeds Beagles for scientific research.

Experiments are not carried out at the site, but protesters object to the fact that puppies are reared indoors - though MBR insists that the animals are healthy, content and comfortable.

Crumbling primary school’s campaign for rebuild ends in success It’s fantastic news for staff and pupils says MP Esterson Report by Henry James CAMPAIGNERS, staff and council leaders have been praised after a long campaign for the rebuild of a “crumbling” primary school in Lydiate was successful.

Bill Esterson, MP for Sefton Central, said Lydiate Primary School’s need for refurbishment was an issue he had raised “more than almost any other ” in Parliamentary questions and letters to Ministers over the last five years.

Education Secretary James Cleverly confirmed in a letter to Mr Esterson on Tuesday, July 12 that the school on Lambshear Lane had been chosen as one of 61 that would benefit from the School Rebuilding Programme, in addition to 100 that had already been announced since February 2021.

Mr Esterson said: “Some very good news for Lydiate Primary School. Confirmation from ministers that Lydiate Primary School is to receive funding under the School Rebuilding Programme.

“The slight caveat as always is that the letter to me from the minister speaks of replacing or refurbishing one or more buildings. But as the school is in desperate need of a complete rebuild, and that was the basis for the bid, I am optimistic that this is what the government will fund.

‘Top priority’ “Also, the Education Secretary has acknowledged in his letter to me that the schools that have been chosen in this round have some of the poorest condition buildings and that this should be addressed as soon as possible.

“Big congratulations to the head teacher, Mrs Forshaw, her staff, the governors and to all the children, parents and carers at Lydiate Primary School, who have worked so hard to make this happen.

“It is great news for them and it is great news for the staff and children who will come to the school in the future. It is wonderful that they will

Bill Esterson outside Lydiate Primary School

benefit from these new facilities.

“And a massive thank you to Sefton Council for the quality of the bid, which faced stiff competition. The government has finally agreed with everyone else that this school is a top priority.

“I’ve asked more questions about Lydiate Primary School and written more letters to ministers about the school than about almost anything else in the last five years, so I am delighted at the news.

“I will, of course, be pressing the minister for confirmation that it is the full rebuild the school needs.

“For now, let’s celebrate this fantastic news!”

Cllr Gordon Friel

TRIBUTES have been paid following the death of sitting Sefton council member Cllr Gordon Friel.

Cllr Friel, who was from Maghull, served on Sefton Council since being elected to represent Lincare Ward in 1994, and died at the age of 69 on Monday, July 11.

He was a well known face among the local authority and served on both the Licensing and Planning committees during his time representing Sefton.

Cllr Friel also represented the borough on the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority Transport Committee.

In a tribute, Cllr John Fairclough, deputy leader of Sefton Council, said: “A respected councillor, Gordon was first elected in May 1994 and has faithfully represented Linacre ward for the last 28 years.

“Gordon was a former union convener (rep) at the Jacobs factory in Aintree.

“He represented the interest of Sefton residents on boards and in many other roles during his time as an elected member.

“For the last 10 years, he was a member of Merseytravel’s combined authority transport committee. More recently he was deputy portfolio holder for the Liverpool City region combined authority transport committee.

“He will be sadly missed by both colleagues officers and those who knew him.

Our thoughts are with his family at this time.

“I will remember Gordon as always smiling.”

A spokesperson for Sefton Council commented: “Our thoughts are with Cllr Friel’s family at this difficult time.”

Mencap Liverpool and Sefton, based in Crosby

Community groups share funding to reduce waste SOUTH Sefton community groups have been awarded a slice of funding to help reduce, reuse and recycle more waste.

A pot of £165,000 has been dished out to 16 groups across the region by Merseyside Recycling & Waste Authority and Veolia Community Fund 22/23, which helps to support local waste prevention, re-use and recycling initiatives.

Mencap Liverpool and Sefton, based in Crosby, will use its funding for the ‘Fix Up Look Sharp’ project, which includes plans to reduce litter.

St Mary’s Church, in Crosby, was also successful in the funding bid and they will use the money for its Eco Garden and a ‘grow your own’ initiative.

Bootle Tool Shed will use the fund to rescue unwanted furniture with 40 upcycling, repair and refurbishment sessions.

Chairperson of Merseyside Recycling and Waste Authority (MRWA), Councillor Tony Concepcion, said: “There are a lot of communities understandably concerned about climate change and sustainable living.

“Our Community Fund – which has been running since 2006 - gives groups the opportunity to look after the environment, bringing benefits to all of us.

I think in this day and age people appreciate items as valuable resources rather than something which might be just thrown away.

“Projects we have previously funded continue to deliver benefits beyond the first year, through their legacy and an ongoing impact on participants’ behaviour, and in many cases through new or continuing activities.

“I wish all our projects the best and look forward to seeing the impact they have.”

The successful groups have got until March 2023 to deliver their projects.

Gardening volunteers needed to help spruce up village flower beds VOLUNTEERS are needed to help work on two flower beds near Crosby Village.

Crosby and Waterloo In Bloom group needs help to maintain the ‘DBed’ by McCarthy and Stone as well as the Princess Diana Garden by Crown Buildings.

A spokesperson for the group said: “You don’t need to be experienced as you will be supervised.

However if you have good horticultural experience it would be most welcome as we are also looking for people to help us manage the gardens as well as become judges in future years when we re-establish the garden competition.

“Gardening is good for you and allows you to spend time outdoors. You will meet people, enjoy a chat, garden and as well as helping to make Crosby Village a better place to visit and enjoy.”

Motorfest is cancelled after club axes support “In order to ensure value for money for the taxpayer, WLBC requested that ACC opened their books to show exactly how much money the event costs to stage and exactly how much revenue it generates. ACC has consistently refused to provide those full costings and has said that it would not spend any of its substantial bank balance to cover the cost of the event this year, insisting instead that the council pay for it.

“Far from working with the council, ACC and its directors have been consistently rude to officers and councillors, posting wildly inaccurate statements on social media, some of which they have had to retract. They have tried to politicise the issue by getting opposition councillors to attack the council, rather than trying to work in partnership.

“With regard to the timescales for organising the event, Lancashire County Council, as the Highways Authority responsible for the road closures, had offered to cut short its usual 12 week requirement to ensure the event could proceed. ACC refused to accept this support and so cancelled the event and tried to shift the blame on to WLBC. ACC has also made repeated and misleading claims about the benefits the event brings to town centre businesses.”

Cllr Adam Yates, cabinet member for finance and economic regeneration, said: “It is a shame that the Motorfest event will not take place this year but we cannot allow the council to be held to ransom by a private organisation that wants the council to fund its profit making every year.

“Aintree Circuit Club has been clear that the money made from Motorfest funds its activities for the rest of the year, yet it refuses to declare, or share, its profits.

“In testament to the fantastic community spirit in Ormskirk, town centre businesses and community organisations have already stepped forward to pledge their support to deliver an alternate event for the August Bank Holiday and I’m sure that following the success of the Jubilee Celebrations and the recent Gingerbread Festival, the town will stage yet another great day out for all the family.

Report by Henry James

Members of the Break Free group soak up the summer sun on Crosby beach

It’s been a scorcher across the borough!

From page 1

Officials from Sefton Council and the RNLI could be seen on the beach hotspots to give advice and provide first aid.

The hot weather saw the warmest night on record in the UK while in parts of the country record temperatures were recorded.

There was ‘significant’ disruption to Merseyrail services on Tuesday due to the high temperatures and red weather warnings in place and passengers were advised not to travel unless essential.

A number of trains running and journey times were affected while some routes were closed completely.

Extreme hot weather can cause track temperatures to reach more than 50°C. When steel becomes very hot, it expands and rails can bend, flex and, in serious cases, buckle leading to some trains being delayed, cancelled or stranded.

Despite many enjoying the hot weather, it caused serious concern for health officials and Margaret Jones, Sefton Council’s Director of Public Health, issued a warning to people about heat exhaustions and heatstroke.

Margaret Jones, Sefton Council’s Director of Public Health said: “While I can fully understand that many people’s thoughts will turn to visiting the coast, what we need to remember is that on the beach, we are fully

exposed to the effects of the sun and heat, especially if we are not prepared.

“It is important to stay out of the sun as much as possible during the hottest part of the day. While it is so sunny if we do go out, we should wear sunscreen and a hat and try and stay in the shade.

“We should try and keep cool this could be indoors or outdoors in the shade.

“If you do want to go out, staying local in areas such as parks where trees and shelters can provide shade “It will also be cooler and much more suitable for young children and elderly people who can succumb to the potentially dangerous effects of heat and dehydration very quickly.”

One group who enjoyed a day on the sand were members of Break Free, which is a local addiction/mental health recovery service, who met up on Crosby beach.

A spokesperson for Break Free said: “We strongly believe that a huge part of recovery from addiction is connection, organising regular days out and activities such as this one on Crosby beach!

This is alongside their recovery programme to encourage connections and create a family atmosphere within the group!”

The hot spell was due to end by mid week, said forecasters, with temperatures set to reduce.

AINTREE Circuit Club have withdrawn their support for this summer’s Ormskirk Motorfest, leading to its cancellation.

The popular event was due to have taken place on Sunday, August 28.

It was last held before the pandemic in 2019 and brought in thousands of visitors from across the North West.

Hopes were high the event would return this year following the pandemic but in a shock about-turn Aintree Circuit Club has pulled its support blaming local authorities, West Lancs Borough Council and Lancashire County Council for ‘unnecessary delays’ in obtaining further approvals.

The borough council’s ruling West Lancashire Labour group disputed the claims made by ACC stating that in June, Cabinet had agreed to provide £7,610 funding to Aintree Circuit Club to support Motorfest 2022.

Aintree Circuit Club said in a statement: “Following a meeting of the directors of the club, faced with the continuing complications and unnecessary delays in obtaining further approvals, that Visitors at the 2019 Motorfest are beyond our control, and which could have been avoided by the local authorities, places us in an unacceptably exposed position, with no guarantee that the event can obtain outstanding approvals within the remaining timescales.

“We have therefore taken the decision to withdraw our support for the event. The reality is that these unnecessary delays (over six months) in making key decisions regarding funding and event safety, hasn’t left enough time for road closure consultations “Regarding the Temporary Traffic Regulatory Order, we assumed this would be rubber stamped, given the number of times (9) the event has previously been very successfully run!

“We realise that a huge number of residents, local businesses, participants, event sponsors and supporters will be terribly disappointed but we consider it is in all our best interests to make this decision now rather than at the last minute.” by simply replacing West Lancashire Labour group pointed out since Motorfest began, West Lancashire Borough Council has provided ACC with funding in the region of £140,000 to support the event.

A statement from the group, added: “Despite repeated requests to make the event financially sustainable, and therefore reduce the cost to the taxpayer, ACC has refused to seek commercial sponsorship for its event.

Making Meadows at Martin Mere

At WWT Martin Mere, the nature reserve is currently awash with colour. The orchids are just starting to go over, but you can see the bright purple of the knapweeds, white waving heads of the meadowsweet and hear the seed pods rattling on the yellow rattle. Our nature reserve is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), and one of the designated features is a plant called the whorled caraway.

Pedestrian bridge goes up in flames during heatwave A SHOCKING video showed the moment a fire surrounded the entrance of a pedestrian bridge in Waterloo.

The footage was taken on Tuesday, July 19 and shows the blaze on both sides of the bridge on Sommerville Road, with the flames even reaching as high as an adjacent tree.

It is believed that the fire originated on the railway embankment before spreading to the bridge and also Waterloo Community Forest Garden.

It’s unclear at this stage what caused the fire, but temperatures are extremely high in the area as the country experiences a heatwave.

A spokesperson for Merseyside Fire and Rescue said: “Crews were called shortly before 10am. One fire engine attended.

On arrival crews found a fire on the railway embankment. The fire had spread to fencing at the rear of a property, a footbridge over the railway line and to vegetation in a neighbouring park.

“Firefighters used hose reel jets to tackle the fire, with the main body of fire extinguished by 10.26am. Network Rail also attended to check the structure of the bridge. Firefighters remained on scene until 10.52am.”

‘Serious concerns’ raised by MP over plans for Melling Report by Henry James

SEFTON Council has been asked by Bill Esterson MP to consider the “serious concerns” that residents have regarding plans to build almost 150 new homes on former farmland.

Mr Esterson, MP for Sefton Central, said he has received several representations from residents in Melling regarding the planning application by Rowland Homes to build 147 homes at Wadacre Farm on Chapel Lane Melling.

Mr Esterson wrote to Sefton Council Chief Executive Dwayne Johnson to relay the residents’ concerns.

He wrote: “Over the last few years, a number of large housing developments have been approved despite local objections, and despite directives from Central Government to protect green space.

“Residents tell me they are struggling to access healthcare services in the village and that the only GP surgery is operating on a part time basis.

“With regard to the proposed development, there are a number of concerns residents have raised.

“These are access to the site as many believe Chapel Lane is not a suitable access road.

“Their concerns include that the site is subject to flooding, and there are many protected wildlife species including bats, foxes, water voles, badgers and otters.

“Residents have raised issues regarding the increased traffic that would result from the development, and the increased sewage as residents

Bill Esterson MP with residents Phil Chadwick (right) and Mark Hudson (centre) who have concerns about the application, with the proposed site in the background

fear the sewers already struggle to cope.

“They fear an increased risk of flooding and are concerned by the possible disruption that will be caused by the construction traffic.

“They fear that the probable mix of pedestrians, the narrow lane and large construction vehicles presents a risk to life and property.”

Mr Esterson asked Mr Johnson to outline how the planning department would liaise with partners such as United Utilities, the Lead Local Flood Authority, the Highways Authority and the developer to address the concerns.

He added: “It is imperative that these serious concerns are addressed if permission is to be granted.”

Rowland Homes has said they have distributed a leaflet to properties in the local area about their application.

Report by Tom Martin MARINE’S new artificial pitch has been fully installed at the Marine Travel Arena.

The £500,000 3G pitch has a number of benefits for the Crosby club, including less chances of matches being called off due to wet weather.

The work was supposed to take place last year but was pushed back due to delays and what Marine bosses described at the time as “significant and unaffordable cost increases advised by the installer.”

The new pitch is set to be officially unveiled with a charity match between Spurs Legends and the Yorkshire Spurs Supporters’ Club on Sunday, July 31, kick-off 2pm.

The charity match organised by Yorkshire Spurs will see members of the Supporters’ Club take on the Spurs Legends team to help celebrate the opening of the new pitch and to raise important funds for the JE3 Foundation, set up in memory of former Spurs defender Justin Edinburgh, and the Children’s Heart Surgery Fund.

editor@champnews.com

Yet another NHS reorganisation - but how do we know CCG replacement will be any better?

I see from the Champion that the NHS has introduced the ‘greatest opportunity in a lifetime to make a real difference’, by re-organising yet again.

I do not know what the problem was with the CCGs and I suspect that it is a case of ‘if we have a problem - re-organise and nobody will ever be able to review what was wrong’.

How do we know that the new organisation will be any better than the previous one?

Nothing in the article gives any clue.

Have any of the following questions been answered before it was decided to change?

My initial set of questions would include:

Re: WG Rashley’s letter in the Champion which shows a common confusion over Church of England funding.

A local church, such as St Philip’s Litherland, does not receive direct funding from the national church or the government. They rely on the generosity of local communities.

It is true the Church of England achieves a good performance on their investments.

However, this funds a huge clergy pension bill and supports targeted work of the church.

So, the national figures may seem large yet if they were to be distributed down to parishes they would be miniscule and inadequate when it comes to dealing with the repair bill.

Churches like St Philip’s Litherland are in the heart of the community reaching out to those in need.

Over and above the many weddings, funerals and christenings we conduct for the community, the building is also used by young people's groups like Rainbows, Brownies and Morris Dance groups.

It’s also used by groups for the elderly, and we are a drop off point for the local Foodbank.

We need our building to continue to do this and more and this can only happen through the support of the community.

Rev Canon Andrew Stott, Litherland

7. Exactly what are the powers and budget of the ICS management/system?

8. What reviews are planned to confirm the validity of the changes intended?

I could continue, but I would like to see some documents which confirm the validity of the changes and provide, at least, the relevant budget for comparison with the current system and which provided authority for the changes before they were introduced.

Any chance of some answers before they go too far and it is (as it appears now) a fait accompli?

A Parr, Formby

The Champion reports on yet more changes to the governance of the NHS with the formation of the Sefton Partnership, which they state is a ‘collaboration between NHS, Sefton Council, Sefton CVS, Healthwatch and other local organisations’.

Perhaps this august body should refer to the report in your July 6 issue where Healthwatch Sefton carried out their own survey on GP Access and found that in South Sefton there was 96% negative feedback on the subject.

I would hope that GP Access is therefore one of the main items on the agenda of their first meeting.

Crosby Resident

Keep cemetery maintained The lanes at Thornton Cemetery are in a very poor state of repair with many deep potholes.

I have emailed the manager several times, but to date nothing has been done.

When visiting my parents’ grave by car it is impossible to drive around them as there are so many potholes in the lanes. Surely the Council should maintain the cemetery and keep it in a fit and proper state.

Name, address supplied

Appalling state of the Telegraph Walled Garden brought tears to my eyes I was appalled to see how Sefton Council/Green Sefton have allowed the Telegraph Walled Garden and Rockery to get into such a dreadful state.

I used to run the Crosby Past and Present Weedkillers and we planted this up with shrubs and plants. We maintained it and funded the plants for over 15 months until, sadly, we had to disband.

To see how it is now is really upsetting and if I’m honest, tears came to my eyes when I saw it.

The whole garden is a riot of weeds and the rockery is completely obliterated with overgrown weeds and plants, as is the wall. All the shrubs need pruning back and making tidy.

It’s a disgrace and given that it’s the first thing you see when you enter Moor Lane, it gives a very bad impression to visitors.

The whole area is a total disgrace and I’m ashamed of my home town or, as we Crosbyites call it, The Village.

Knife amnesty starts up across Merseyside

By Henry James

are not required to give any personal details and will not face prosecution for carrying them to a surrender bin.

The amnesty bins are ‘just one element of Merseyside Police’s wider approach to tackling knife crime and as a force they put significant effort into putting a stop to this issue.’

Superintendent Phil Mullally said: “We know that knife bins do a great job in taking knives and other weapons off our streets, but they only work alongside enforcement and education.

“I also want to remind people about the Offensive Weapons Act 2019, which now makes it illegal to possess offensive weapons in a private place.

“There are a number offensive weapons included in the new legislation such as, knuckle dusters, friction lock batons and flick knives.”

If you have information about someone carrying a knife, or know someone involved in crime, get in touch @MerPolCC, call 101 or contact @CrimestoppersUK anonymously on 0800555111.

The Knife Angel

A NEW knife amnesty is underway across the county, to coincide with the arrival of the Knife Angel in Birkenhead Park.

Amnesty bins have been installed at the Knife Angel, which is situated at the Grand Arch, Birkenhead, as well as at Tranmere Rovers, Wirral Change and Beechwood Recreation Centre and Merseyside Police General Enquiry Offices, including Bootle (Marsh Lane).

The amnesty is for anyone who wants to dispose of bladed weapons and any other offensive weapons, such as knuckle dusters or friction lock batons to do so safely and without fear of prosecution.

Many weapons are held in innocence or ignorance of their illegality.

The amnesty gives members of the public the chance to dispose of a knife anonymously with no questions asked, by simply depositing it into the amnesty bin. Those surrendering knives or weapons

SPORT Marine narrowly beaten at Clitheroe MARINE were beaten 1-0 away at Clitheroe last Saturday in a pre-season friendly.

On a scorching summer’s day at Shawbridge the Mariners fielded the usual mix of first-team players, U23s, and trialists.

The only goal of the game came after just six minutes, as a ball to the back-post from the Clitheroe right saw young right-back Ben Jones attempt to divert the ball behind for a corner.

Unfortunately for the Mariners, Jones met the ball sweetly on the half-volley to crash the ball into the roof of the net.

After the break both sides made the expected raft of changes, Neil Young’s trialists all acquitting themselves reasonably well.

Clitheroe almost doubled their advantage ten minutes from time as a loose pass from Winnard found Leigh who slipped the ball through to a home Trialist, however substitute stopper Germano Mendes spared Winnard’s blushes with a good block.

Meanwhile, The Focus Travel Partnership has been

Pupils recognised at special awards event Report by Tom Martin ST MARY’S College Preparatory School held a special event to pay tribute to the achievements of its pupils over the past 12 months.

For the first time in three years because of Covid19, the Atkinson arts centre on Lord Street in Southport was the venue for the junior prize-giving ceremony organised by the Crosby primary school.

The VIP guest at this year’s event was former St Mary ’s pupil Ruth Mwandumba, the first female black athlete to represent England in the sport of target shooting.

Ruth – who is the current English champion – is an excellent example of someone who took part in a wide range of activities while at St. Mary’s, including the Combined Cadet Force where she discovered her interest in and talent for shooting.

She said: “It felt amazing to go back to where it all began for me. It was a truly special moment for me to be able to award the kids with their prizes, and it meant so much to hear from them and their parents afterwards when they were letting me know that they were inspired by my story.”

The event was compèred by pupils from Years 3 to 6 and during the ceremony the packed Atkinson audience heard that St Mary’s Prep had again achieved excellent academic results during the school year, despite the challenges posed by the pandemic.

They also watched pupils collect prizes and awards recognising their success in a wide range of extracurricular activities including music, drama and sport.

Guests also enjoyed a series of readings, drama pieces and musical performances that once again highlighted the talent and creativity of pupils at St. Mary ’s Prep.

Looking back at the last 12 months, headteacher Jonathan Webster said: “This annual event is a

VIP guest Ruth Mwandumba pictured with St Mary’s College principal Mike Kennedy (left) and St Mary’s Prep headteacher Jonathan Webster

great way for us to recognise the hard work and achievements of our pupils in so many fields over the last year.

“I pay tribute to all of them for showing their ability to adapt, enjoy and achieve so wonderfully, in spite of coronavirus.”

St Mary’s College principal, Mike Kennedy, added: “I would like to salute the whole St. Mary’s Prep community – all the children, and the staff and families who support them – for making the school such a successful and special place of love and learning.”

Is it too hot to hold car shows?

DUE TO the extreme heat conditions, this week’s column has been cancelled.

Just kidding, although for an awful lot of people the record temperatures of the past few days have been no joke. I’m not sure about you, but I’ve spent most of it with the curtains drawn reading up on whether it’s a good idea to hang wet towels over your windows, fending off emails from Machine Mart about the air conditioners it’s flogging and watching Dominic Raab discuss whether it’s a sensible idea to shut the schools or not.

But then I started hearing from event organisers who were calling things off because it was simply too hot, which is a first in my long career as a car show junkie. I’ve heard of

motoring celebrations being called off because of inclement conditions (including a couple where the venues have been flooded by nearby rivers the night before) or because it’s too windy (including one in Cambridgeshire, where the organisers rightly decided that having an entire field’s worth of precarious-looking stalls wobbling around in gale-force winds wasn’t a good idea). Pulling a show because it’s too hot and sunny, though? That’s a first for me, at least in this country.

Over the past two weekends I’ve been to two big shows that went ahead in temperatures of least 30-degrees Celsius and in both cases exactly the same thing happened; at about 2pm loads of classic car owners decided they’d had enough of the heat, got into their Triumph Heralds and simply headed home, regardless of the fact their cars were meant to stay on as exhibits for another two hours. I also reckon it has an effect on the paying punters too, because years ago one of the organisers of the Tatton Park show in Cheshire told me that if the weather’s really nice, people who’d normally spend the day ogling E-types will set their satnavs for Southport or Blackpool instead.

Most car shows have gone ahead despite rising temperatures across much of the UK

Most of the shows I’m aware of chose to go ahead, even with the Met Office’s rare red warning of an extreme heat alert, but the fact that a couple did choose to call theirs off is an eye-opener because it’s so rare. It matters because shows are such a big part of Britain’s motoring hobby, they invariably happen on summer weekends and the science is fairly unanimous that temperatures like these will occur more often in future. So we’d better get used to the debate over whether to call off outdoor events – including car shows – or not.

Which is where whoever succeeds Boris can step in. In much the same way event

organisers and we, the wider public, looked to the government to give us guidance as to what was appropriate and what wasn’t during the pandemic, so it’s in Whitehall’s interest on public health grounds to look at the facts, weigh up the risks and advise what’s safe and what isn’t in 40-degree heat.
