DERELICT CHURCH TO BE TURNED INTO FLATS Apartments plan put forward for historic building which has been empty for 15 years and blighted by fly-tippers Report by Tom Martin

Protests were held by residents against the proposed soccer hub

CAMPAIGNERS are celebrating after controversial plans to build a £1.2million football hub in Orrell Mount Park were scrapped by Sefton Council.

The decision comes after the results of a two-month consultation were made public on Monday, August 8, which showed 49% of 1,000 people who responded were against the proposal.

The Champion has reported how a large group of residents formed the Friends of Orrell Mount Park when the proposal was first revealed last year.

They claimed that the Litherland park is well used by local dog walkers and football teams, and is also the only green space left in the area.

A DERELICT former church in Waterloo, which has been blighted by vandals and fly-tipping since it closed 15 years ago, could be turned into apartments.

A planning application has been put forward by developer Tonik Rok Ltd to transform the empty St John’s Church, on Brighton Road, into ten apartments.

The Grade II listed building, which was built in 1865 and owned by the Diocese of Liverpool, last hosted a service in 2007.

The Champion has published several stories over the years about fly-tipping and anti-social behaviour at the site, with nearby residents complaining it was a blight on their neighbourhood.

A planning application submitted to Sefton Council states: “The proposals forming this application have been well designed, taking into account future residents in the area, the site is well located to utilize an extensive range of nearby amenities and modes of public transport, as such the site is sustainably located.”

The Champion reported in 2016 how a similar plan

was approved by the council to turn the building into flats, but building work never began.

As part of this fresh proposal, a Heritage Assessment report was carried out by heritage consultant Garry Miller.

In his report, he states: “The proposal will put the listed building to an alternative, sustainable use and thereby secure its future.

“Its appearance will be enhanced as a result of refurbishment works.

“The interior, will, inevitably, experience change as a result of the scheme. However, in the overall context of the listed building, this change is considered to be less than substantial harm.”

Sefton Council is yet to make a decision on the proposal.

It also sets out the boundaries of what is and isn’t acceptable at the coast to keep everyone safe. This includes how fires and BBQs are not allowed anywhere; that there are water safety risks so people should follow the advice of lifeguards; and that anti-social behaviour simply won’t be tolerated.

Members of the partnership include Sefton Council, Merseyside Police, Merseyside Fire and Rescue, National Trust Formby, Natural England, the RNLI and other key partners like Merseyrail.

Significant increase in dog cruelty cases, says animal charity THE RSPCA has revealed a ‘significant increase’ in dogs being victims of cruelty.

The animal charity is currently receiving up to ten reports an hour across the country, and this is expected to increase with a spike in reports during the remainder of the summer.

New figures released last week as part of the animal welfare charity’s ‘Cancel Our Cruelty’ campaign show that despite being man’s best friend, there were 44,427 nationwide reports of dog cruelty made to the RSPCA involving 92,244 dogs last year.

With more people becoming dog owners during lockdown, the charity is concerned the number of cruelty incidents involving canines will increase particularly in the summer when it traditionally sees a surge in calls to its cruelty line.

The charity is also worried more dogs will fall victim to abuse and abandonments as the cost of living crisis takes hold

adding financial pressures to pet owners.

RSPCA dog welfare expert Dr Samantha Gaines, said: “Every year, we see many dogs coming into our care bearing the physical and mental scars that were inflicted at the hands of the very people who were meant to keep them safe and love them unconditionally.

“We are supposed to be a nation of animal lovers and dogs are ‘man’s best friend’ as the saying goes but in reality we

Police website to send video clips of suspected house burglars proves a hit

BOOK BY OSCAR WINNING SCREENWRITER AND DOWNTON ABBEY CREATOR JULIAN FELLOWES SONGS BY OLIVIER AWARD WINNING COMPOSER AND LYRICIST GEORGE STILES AND ANTHONY DREWE DIRECTED BY PAUL WILKINSON

AN online service that allows people to upload footage of suspected burglars is proving to be a success, say Merseysie Police.

The Champion recently reported how a new ‘Public CCTV Submission Portal’ was set-up for locals to upload video footage to a police-monitored website showing ‘suspicious activity’ taken from their home security cameras or smart doorbells.

In its first seven days, 40 video clips were received, with some leading to “strong lines of enquiry ” and the identification of a convicted burglar in a previously unreported break-in.

As these video surveillance devices grow in popularity, some homeowners are discovering they have video footage of suspicious people walking through their garden, down the driveway or up to their doorstep.

Detective Inspector Tony O’Brien of Merseyside Police’s burglary team, known as Operation Castle, said: “Sometimes homeowners discover they have video footage of someone that they assume is just a trespasser,

to our appeal of not publishing video footage like this on social media and instead, sending it to us so we can assess its evidential value.

“The new portal link is aimed at circumstances where there has been no crime reported, but the suspicious behaviour could potentially be related to a burglary.

“The value of this type of evidence is highlighted in a recent case that featured evidence gathered from various sources of CCTV. In this case, Carl Michael Parkinson, aged 38 years of no fixed abode, was convicted on 7 July 2022 at Liverpool Crown Court for attempted burglary at three addresses in Crosby. He received three sentences of four months each, which he will serve consecutively.

“Modern video surveillance cameras, including smart doorbells can be very useful, particularly those with cloudbased apps, but remember, you should check the guidance on the Information Commissioner’s Office website when installing CCTV at home.”

Plans for £1.2m football hub are kicked into touch From page 1 The 3G pitch, along with new floodlights and changing facilities, would have been largely paid for by the Football Foundation and run by Jamie Carragher’s JC23 Foundation.

Sefton Council Leader Cllr Ian Maher said: “I understand this will be a huge disappointment to those who were in support of the scheme, especially our young people and boys and girls who clearly need high-quality training and playing facilities like this.

“But, throughout the process, we have promised to listen to the public’s views and act accordingly and that’s a promise we are keeping.”

The council had actually tried to start work on the new 3G pitch last year, but local residents formed a barricade at the main entrance so vehicles couldn’t access the site.

They demanded a consultation was held and it resulted in the council pausing the start of work and publishing a consultation on the Orrell Mount Park Masterplan.

As well as the football hub, the council also proposed a number of other park improvements, including new pavilion gardens, a nature trail, upgrades to the existing play area and the pavilion brought back into use.

These sections of the plan were widely supported in the consultation, and the council has said it will carry out the work

“should resources become available.”

Cllr Maher added: “The consultation showed there is support for the wider master plan for Orrell Mount Park, which would bring considerable improvements to this space for communities and future generations, and I will ensure that, should resources become available, the Council will progress with these developments.

“Through our playing pitch strategy, Sefton Council recognises there is a clear need for more training and playing facilities in the borough and I want to reassure our communities and our young people who will be our future sporting stars that we remain committed to creating much needed 3G playing pitch developments.

“We will continue to work with the Football Foundation to identify sites for future development and we have recently entered into a partnership with the Football Foundation to create a dedicated project management role to oversee and develop such schemes.

“I would like to thank everyone who has been involved in this process including those people who took time to provide feedback.

“While it may not have been the decision many wanted to see, this process has shown that Sefton Council is committed to open and transparent consultation and to making decisions guided by local people’s views.”

Huge rise of 71% in drug related deaths in Sefton SHOCKING figures released this week show a huge 71% rise in drug-related deaths in Sefton last year.

According to the Office of National Statistics, record numbers of drug-related deaths were recorded for 2021 compared to the previous year.

In Sefton, there were 28 ‘drug deaths’ in 2020, which rose to 48 last year, resulting in a 71% rise.

There are now serious concerns that this figure could rise even further by the end of 2022.

Local health officials in Sefton have responded to the findings by urging people to contact the group ‘Change Grow Live’ for support if they are struggling with drugs or alcohol.

A Sefton Council spokesperson told the Champion: “Any drug death is a tragedy, which is why Sefton Council works closely with Liverpool John Moores University to review all such occurrences in Sefton and learn any lessons that can inform and improve current practise.

“For people who are struggling with drugs or alcohol Sefton Council commissions nationwide charity Change Grow Live,

which can provide them with advice about reducing the harmful effects of drugs and alcohol and support them on their journey to recovery.

“People can find out more about Change Grow Live at www.changegrow live.org sefton.”

According to the Office of National Statistics data, one in five drug poisoning deaths in the North West involved cocaine. A record 188 deaths in 2021 mentioned cocaine on the death certificate, up from 148 in 2020 and up from just 20 a decade ago.

Vulnerable Nuno Albuquerque, treatment lead for the drug addiction treatment providers at the UK Addiction Treatment Group said: “The 2020 Covid pandemic has pushed people’s drug use to the limit, and unfortunately for these people living in the North West, they ’ve paid the ultimate price.

“We must remember that these are unnecessary deaths; these are mothers, fathers, grandparents, neighbours, colleagues and friends living in this community who could have been saved.

“Regardless of the current political uncertainty, one thing is certain; that as a society, we must do better to help those most vulnerable.

“We must reach out to them and offer effective help, support and empathy, because nobody should lose their lives to drugs.”

Across the North West, 891 people lost their lives in 2021 to drugs, equivalent to over two lives unnecessarily lost to drugs every day.

The drug death toll in 2021 was 15% higher than the rate recorded in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic, when 771 people living in the region died from drugs and a staggering 89% higher than the number who lost their lives to drugs a decade ago (471).

Deaths where the opiate methadone is on the death certificate, typically used to combat heroin addiction, had risen by 21%, from 102 deaths in 2020 to 124 deaths in 2021.

Antidepressants - typically prescribed by a GP - was included on the death certificates of 103 people in 2021, up 43% from 72 in 2020.

“The Army is a bit like a dream job for me. The number of opportunities I’ve had to do all these different things is great.”

The ceremonial flag-raisers comprised 67 Army personnel, 36 members of the Royal Air Force and 35 from the Royal Navy and Royal Marines. They prepared for the honour at Nesscliffe training camp in the West Midlands.

They completed refresher training in basic drill and the art of ceremonial flag-raising.

The training led by the Army School of Ceremonial also included rigorous dress inspections to ensure their appearance and bearing was of the highest standard when they marched out in full view of an international audience.

Report by Tom Martin A FORMER headteacher who has incurable blood cancer, claims he can’t get the treatment he needs after being excluded from every clinical trial in the UK... because his condition is so complex.

Simon Hulme, who was head at St Michael’s High School, Crosby, is calling for ‘equal access to treatment’ after failing to qualify for a single clinical trial.

Simon was 56 when he was diagnosed with a particularly aggressive type of non-secretory myeloma back in July 2020, a cancer so rare it affects just 116 people in the country each year.

As his battle with the disease draws to an end, his only chance to spend a few more months, if not years, with his loved ones, is a clinical trial.

Simon said: “It feels like discrimination. I don’t have much time left. I’ve been told a clinical trial will be my only option but I’m not allowed to access trials.

“If the line of treatment that I’m on now doesn’t work, or even if it does work, it will run out of use in a year and there will be nothing left. A clinical trial might just mean six more months or a year but if you’ve got children or grandchildren it matters.”

Simon Hulme

gnosed with the incurable blood cancer myeloma each year in the UK. Non-secretory patients like Simon make up around 2% of all cases. Being non-secretory means that, unlike the majority of those with myeloma, Simon’s cancer and his response to treatment cannot be picked up or measured by a blood test.

Instead, he needs to undergo costly scans and bone marrow biopsies to keep track of the disease and monitor his response to drugs.

As it stands, though, clinical trials for myeloma patients measure the return of the disease through regular blood tests, which is far less expensive. Therefore, outliers like Simon are, by default, excluded from most clinical trials for practical and financial reas-

ons, robbing them of their last chance to keep the disease at bay and to enjoy a few more months with their families and friends.

Shelagh McKinlay, acting director of research and Patient Advocacy at blood cancer charity Myeloma UK, said: “People like Simon are in an untenable position. The odds, sadly, are stacked against them before they’ve even started treatment and, although they’re more likely to need access to clinical trials sooner, they are by the very nature of their cancer effectively excluded from them because their disease doesn’t quite fit the mould.

“Opening up clinical trials to non-secretory patients is not impossible, but it requires funding, the willingness to put the effort in and to shake up the status quo.

“We will keep fighting to change the system and make sure the forgotten 2% get a fair chance to live as well as possible for as long as possible.

“Everyone should have equal access to treatment and we will not stand by while some patients are being treated like secondclass citizens.”

Simon hopes that sharing his story will lead to much-needed change and fairer access to experimental drugs and treatments for future patients. He also hopes to finally be offered access to a trial before it’s too late.

Flout new rules, say police and Council, and you’ll pay the penalty!

Report by Tom Martin

TOUGHER rules are now in place across the borough’s coastlines and town centres, which could result in £75 onthe-spot fines for anti-social behaviour.

The new Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) means those who flout the rules will now pay the penalty for littering, polluting, causing fires, not picking up dog mess, carrying out balloon/lantern releases or general anti-social behaviour.

The PSPO will be in place for three years, until summer 2025.

The council say it was created following feedback from local communities, visitors and partner agencies.

Tracie Trubshaw, Chief Inspector at Merseyside Police said: “Introducing the Public Space Protection Order will help visitors and residents enjoy our coastline safely, throughout the summer and beyond, by making clear what behaviour is and isn’t acceptable.

“If you have any concerns, please speak to our officers out on patrol, or call 101 so that we can take action and keep our communities safe.”

Cllr Paulette Lappin, cabinet member for regulatory, compliance and corporate services, added: “The vast majority of visitors and residents treat our wonderful coastline

with respect and our residents with consideration, and the introduction of this Order, will have very little or no impact on them.

“However, it will help to make clear what is and what isn’t acceptable and will give our teams, along with those of our partners, greater powers to deal with that very small minority who behave inappropriately and cause distress and disturbance to local residents and businesses, or damage to our precious natural coast and infrastructure.”

Coastal areas means the beach and the land next to the beach which is open to the public, including land owned by other partners such as the National Trust, Natural England, RSPB and the Lancashire Wildlife Trust.

This includes: l Sand dunes and grassed areas; woodlands and marshes; ponds and lakes; promenades; car parks; play areas; buildings such as toilets and shelters.

Town centres included in the PSPO are: l Southport (area includes Kings Gardens, Lord Street, Eastbank Street and Promenade) l Formby (area includes Formby Village centre, Andrew’s Lane, Formby Bridge, Kings Road, Duke Street Park)

l Crosby and Waterloo (area includes Crosby Town centre, Moorside Park, Coronation and Alexandra Parks, Victoria Park, St. Johns Road, South Road, Waterloo/Seafront gardens) l Bootle (area within the boundary of parts of Merton Road, Litherland Road, Washington Road and Marsh Lane) Some of the restrictions include: l Pollution such as leaving litter, dog fouling, urinating/defecating in public, or noise pollution l Vehicle related antisocial behaviour; either within defined car parks or taking motor vehicles outside of defined parking areas. l Drinking alcohol in a public space after being told not to by an Authorised Officer to prevent anti-social behaviour (this is not a total ban) l Lighting any fire or BBQ l Taking a dog into a dog exclusion zone, or allowing its behaviour to cause alarm, distress or annoyance to another person l Setting off fireworks, balloon or lantern releases Signage will be installed across the borough to make sure people are aware of their responsibilities.

Parents heartbreak over their baby’s rare skin condition Report by Tom Martin Plaza Cinema

PARENTS want to raise awareness of their baby’s “brutal, chronic condition” after doctors said she was the youngest patient they had ever seen with the illness.

Mabel, who is only one-year-old, has been diagnosed with psoriasis, which is rare for babies as most people develop the condition in their 20s.

Her mum, Jacqueline Smith, who works in Bootle for Cheshire and Merseyside NHS, and dad Ian Gilmore, told the Champion how bad flare ups can “make it look like she’s been burnt” and it is “extremely distressing” for them.

They hope that by raising awareness of psoriasis in young babies that more can be done to find a cure.

Jacqueline said Mabel has suffered from post viral rashes since she was three-months-old, but needed to go to A&E just before her first birthday after blisters appeared on her skin and she had a temperature.

She said: “It wasn’t an obvious diagnosis so she had to undergo a skin biopsy under general anaesthetic.

We were given the news she has psoriasis.

“We have been told that she is the youngest patient her consultant has ever seen with this. It has been absolutely relentless. During bad flare ups we have had to go to Alder Hey for her to be bound in bandages on all four limbs three times a week.

“Seeing her go through all of this has been absolutely heart-breaking for us and we’ve felt every kind of emotion, but found great comfort in how she just gets on with everything.”

Young people can sign up for filmmaking workshop at cinema

Mabel has since had a tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, bilateral grommets inserted in her ears and ophthalmology surgery.

As topical steroid treatment stopped working, she is also on an immunosuppressant medication called Methotrexate.

Jacqueline said: “There are a lot of unknowns with Mabel and how she will progress and respond to treatment for this condition, which is potentially lifelong, but that doesn’t stop her. She is a thoroughly delightful and happy baby.

“She is always smiling and nothing gets her down. She is quite simply our hero. We hope to raise awareness of this brutal chronic condition by sharing Mabel’s story, and we hope one day a cure can be found.”

Summer Festival 18th - 21st AUGUST 2022

PLAZA Cinema will host a free filmmaking workshop for anyone aged 13-19 during the summer holiday period.

The project is for those interested in either acting, theatrical make-up and prosthetics, filming/camera work, set design, editing, making music and creating special effects.

Themed on artificial intelligence, those involved will produce a short film that will explore the impact of AI in the workplace, at home as well as how it may affect friendships and relationships.

The completed film will be premiered at a free public screening at the Plaza later in the year.

The project runs four days per week, Monday to Thursday, starting Monday, August 15 through to Thursday, September 1 from 10am – 3pm each LY’ss ICtLY’ day.

STR STRICt Christine Physick, arts & education director with janet janette te & & Aljaz Aljaz the Plaza said: “This is a subject very relevant to young people as we embrace ever new technological change in our lives. As the generation most likely to be working alongside sophisticated AI with the ability to replicate Human behaviour and thinking patterns, it will be interesting to see if they view this as a threat or an opportunity.

“This is a very exciting and ambitious project.

Thanks to the generous support of Children in Need and Southport Rotary Club we are able to bring together a large group of creative and media professionals who are very keen to share some of the tricks of the trade with the young people as well as inspire them to consider a career in film and media.”

Beatles tribute act become youngest band to get a residency at the Cavern A YOUNG Beatles tribute act with two members from Crosby are making waves in the music scene and are already performing regularly at the famous Cavern Club in Liverpool.

Beatles Complete is the youngest band ever to get a residency at the famous venue and are becoming one of the region’s stand-out tribute acts for the Fab Four.

The band is made up of Joe Patrick, 15, and Max Robinson, 18, both from Crosby, and also George Baldwin, 19, and Tom Marrow, 18, who are from Chorley.

Joe, who is the youngest member, is a former pupil of Sacred Heart Catholic College in Crosby

by Tom Martin and is the ‘Paul McCartney’ of Beatles Complete.

His dad, Graham, told the Champion: “Joe joined them about 12 months ago and is really enjoying it. They are doing well at the moment for such a young band.

“They are the youngest band to get a residency at the Cavern so that just shows how good they are.”

In 2021, Beatles Complete performed for the first time at the International Beatle Week Fest-

ival in Liverpool. They perform at the Cavern every Saturday afternoon and have quickly become a firm favourite with Beatles fans who pack the venue out every week.

The lads are also performing in the final two shows at the 2022 International Beatle Week Festival.

For anyone wishing to watch them perform closer to home, they will be at Crosby Comrades Club on Sunday, September 11.

Tickets are priced at £8 and £5 for under 18s and are available on www.ticketsource.co.uk/beatlescomplete or from Encore in Crosby Village.

Show garden lands top prize A SHOW garden created by a group of greenfingered residents from Bootle, landed a top prize at RHS Tatton.

Judges awarded the ‘Could Car Less’ show garden from Taking Root in Bootle, a bronze medal in the Greener Front Garden category.

Taking Root is a network of community gardens and growing projects co-ordinated by local social enterprise Regenerus. The aim of the network is to enhance the appearance of Bootle, and at the same time to improve the health and wellbeing of all those involved.

The prize-winning entry (below) at Tatton is designed to highlight the importance of giving up the car and travelling in a more eco-friendly way.

The replica of a typical Bootle front garden was the brainchild of Christine Leung of social enterprise Lotus Brook and features creative and practical ideas for bicycle storage, including an upcycled bike shed.

Borough takes part in slavery globe project A GROUND-breaking art education project will see globes placed across the borough to highlight slavery.

The World Reimagine project is a national initiative which it is hoped will transform how people understand the transatlantic trade in enslaved Africans and its impact on society.

The project involves a series of globes to be placed across Sefton on Saturday (August 13) to educate communities on slavery.

The ‘main globe’, which is called Echoes of the Present designed by artist Amy Bourbon, will be placed in Marine Gardens in Waterloo.

There will also be a globe located in the foyer of The Atkinson, on Lord Street, which has been co-produced

by Christ the King School working with the Southport Against Racism

community group. Significant individuals important to both global and local history, including civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and Liverpool football player Mo Salah will be featured on the Southport globe.

Additionally, smaller globes have been awarded to six Sefton schools, to help teach pupils more about the history they represent.

Cllr Trish Hardy, Sefton Council’s Cabinet Member for Communities and Housing said: “I am so glad we are part of this national initiative to raise awareness of the Transatlantic Slave Trade’s impact.

“That history and the history of our borough are intertwined, and I am looking forward to seeing our communities and schools engage with the globes both to become more aware of our past but also in discussing our future.”

LETTERS to the Editor Park group not responsible for source of blaze

Our beautiful sand dunes will protect us from floods

Can I clarify a potential misunderstanding that may arise from the article on July 27 about the fire under the footbridge on Sommerville Road, Waterloo?

The licence granted to the Friends of Victoria Park for the Community Forest Garden does NOT extend to the area of the source of the flames, so it cannot be implied that they should have “cleared the vegetation” or “could have prevented” the fire.

We take our social responsibilities very seriously and meet all the requirements set upon us by Green Sefton.

It is disappointing that the resident voiced his opinion without being aware of all the facts before making apparent insinuations.

I am writing in response to the recent article about the planning refusal for the new cycle and footpath along the seafront.

As far as I understand from reports about the meeting is that the new path will go back to planning and will introduce improvements where the planning committee saw problems.

My main concern is the lobbying of the Seafront Residents’ Action Group to destroy the sand dunes that are currently covering the promenade along a short stretch.

This argument comes from a very old fashioned concept of how we live with nature.

I believe that we as society, indeed we as residents on this earth, have to learn to live alongside nature rather than mastering it and shaping it for our convenience.

We have to understand and accept natural processes and give nature space around us.

This will benefit us in so many ways.

Of course it is pleasant to walk or cycle

Kirsten Sothmann, Resident of Waterloo

Scallies are ruining Maghull

Arriva’s gratitude to its bus drivers proved cheap

Why has Maghull gone so bad?

It used to be for nice people but now the riff raff are taking over.

Horrible scallies have moved in and are ruining a nice town.

The schools are to blame as they are taking in pupils from areas like Kensington, Norris Green, Kirkby and the like.

That lot want to live in a nice area but bring that scally attitude with them and before you know it Maghull is ruined.

They should be vetted by good residents.

They're the ones who’s house values take a hit.

The Arriva bus dispute centred initially on pay: we simply wanted a pay rise that would cushion the blow of the rising cost of living, and had the company offered this back in March, buses would be running.

We thought then, as we do now, that a company that celebrated its workforce through the pandemic as ‘heroes’, delivered a card thanking its staff and asked a lot of us during some of the most trying times that the industry has ever faced, would at least remember the sacrifices that people made throughout the pandemic.

Name supplied, Sent by email

Week 32.2022

And that they would appreciate that no hard-working man or woman should have to have their pay topped by the UK taxpayer in full-time employment.

However, such messages of gratitude are as cheap as the plastic cards that were fed through our letterboxes.

It just goes to prove that these multinationals and their handsomely paid directors cannot ‘give’ something with one hand without ‘taking’ with the other.

Striking bus driver, Sefton

Last Week’s Solutions

Member of the Friends of Victoria Park, Crosby

unhindered along the seafront, but we should consider other issues beyond our immediate need for convenience.

Not only is it a futile exercise to remove the sand where the dunes have over-run the promenade - we all know what power the wind has over the shaping of the landscape - it is also very destructive.

It is destroying a natural space around us and diminishing the wildlife that inhabits these mighty sand hills.

It is also destroying the natural protection against flooding which nature is giving us.

We live in an age of rising sea levels.

This coast might be safe for a few years, but we have a duty to protect it for future generations.

And sand dunes are nature’s answer to flooding.

I appeal to the local authorities to protect our wonderful sand dunes!

Forget-me-not campaign is in full bloom at Woodlands AS part of Woodlands Hospice’s annual Forget-me-not campaign, flowers are now being placed on display in the hospice’s gardens to coincide with the recent collection weekend.

People can choose to dedicate the traditional metal garden blooms and plant a striking steel flower at home or go virtual via the online meadow option and help fill the online field with flowers.

If you’ve not yet dedicated your forgetme-not in memory of a loved one it’s not too late.

Just go to the link and the end of this story to do so or alternatively call Carole Riley on 0151 529 4143 to make a dedication over the phone.

The proceeds of the Forget-me-not campaign support the work of the hospice to helps patients and their families living with life-limiting illnesses. People like Pat Parker who is supporting this years’ campaign alongside her grandchildren Scarlet, seven, Lucas, six and Amber, three.

Pat and her family have experienced the care and support Woodlands Hospice has to offer after her husband, Allan’s five-anda-half year battle with Motor Neurone Disease.

The annual campaign sees flowers planted in the gardens

Pat recalls from the first week of Allan’s diagnosis how Woodlands took them as a family under their wings never leaving their sides throughout that journey and beyond.

Pat described their experience of support at Woodlands Hospice, saying: “All the staff and volunteers were incredible. Allan and I made some wonderful friendships

Sefton Cllr Paulette Lappin, said: “The closing date for applications is Wednesday, August 31.

Any received after this date cannot be considered, so I would encourage any companies that think they are eligible to check the information on our website and fill out the online application form as soon as possible.

Woman, 35, charged with outraging public decency A BOOTLE woman was charged with outraging public decency after several videos were widely shared on social media showing two people having sex in Liverpool City Centre in front of shocked passers-by.

Following the incident, Merseyside Police arrested Kelly Cousins, 35, of Merton Street, Bootle. She was bailed with conditions not to enter Liverpool City Centre and will appear at Liverpool Magistrates Court on Tuesday, September 20.

Enquiries remain ongoing to identify the male in the video and anyone with any further information is asked to contact police.

not only with the staff but also other patients.

“We can’t thank the hospice enough and can only describe them as a giant hug of holistic support, love, care, compassion and friendship. They’re in our hearts forever.”

Allan sadly passed away in November 2019. Pat and her family are still able to receive care and bereavement support from the hospice’s Patient and Family Services Team.

Woodlands Hospice ‘Individual Giving’ manager Carole Riley, who organises the annual Forget-me-not campaign, said: “This popular campaign transforms our hospice gardens over the summer with each flower on display being a heartfelt dedication to someone special.

“It is just as beautiful to watch our virtual meadow online fill with a beautiful blue haze of tributes, photos and heart-warming messages to loved ones who may be gone but are certainly not forgotten.”

The collection weekend took place between August 5-7, to allow all those who have chosen a metal flower to go along and view them on display in the hospice gardens and collect their own to take home and keep. There is also an option for flowers to be posted for those who would prefer this for a postage and packing cost.

Carole added: “Whether you dedicate a flower through a beautiful handcrafted flower or online in our virtual meadow, all the proceeds from your dedication help towards raising the £4,000 we need each day to continue supporting our patients and their families.”

In the 10th minute, Mo Touray delighted the MTA faithful with a goal fit to win any game, let alone a friendly.

Following patient build-up play to the edge of the Purps’ box, the ball reached Touray on the left, the Welsh striker cutting just inside the area before delivering a venomous, curling finish just inside the far post to register his 5th goal in pre-season.

The visitors made a plethora of substitutions on

57 minutes, and created their first shot on target eight minutes later as a shot from distance was fired straight at Bayleigh Passant who held comfortably.

The Mariners managed to see out the match and claim the narrow win.

With pre-season done and dusted the Mariners now turn their attentions to the start of the NPL Premier season, beginning with a trip to Guiseley this Saturday. Kick off 3pm.

Elsewhere, Litherland Remyca earned a replay in an extra preliminary round of the FA Cup after a 11 draw against Prestwich Heys.

Connor Berry’s solo effort in the 48th minute cancelled out Jamie McDonald’s opener for Remyca.

Northern suffer defeat against Ormskirk in top of table clash TWO of the league’s in-form teams met on Saturday, with Ormskirk beating Northern by three wickets.

Having won the toss and electing to field, the Crosby side were all out for 202, with opening batsman Chris Laker top scoring with 55 before he was run out.

Ormskirk bowler Zahir

Shehzad claimed four wickets during an impressive display.

Ormskirk reached the 203 mark with Gary Knight notching up 86 runs.

Elsewhere, Southport & Birkdale were well beaten after an away match at Leigh.

The Lancashire outfit claimed victory by 131 runs. After winning the toss and opting to bat

first, Leigh gained 312 runs, mainly thanks to impressive showings from Sam Dorsey, who got 174 runs and Matthew Hurst, who added 104.

Southport & Birkdale were all out for 181, JJ Fielding contributing the most runs with 63.

Formby claimed a draw away to Wigan, keeping them in ninth place in the league table.

Appetite for chips causing global supply shortages!

Even electric car sales are being affected by global supply shortages

ANYONE for chips? Not the kind that you get on Friday night with a helping of battered cod, mind. This week we’re on about the kind that people are really craving right now.

Sorry, potato purveyors of the north west, but the chips in question are the ones that go into your car rather than the ones best enjoyed with a spot of curry sauce. The global shortage of components, and particularly semiconductors, has had all sorts of weird ramifications for the car industry. And, in a nutshell, it’s why there are plenty of stories doing the rounds of people of ordering new cars and having to wait months, or worse, having their orders cancelled altogether.

It’s the reason why the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders said this week that new car registrations were down nine per cent in July, making it the fifth consecutive fall – and even though electric cars are bucking the trend and still increasing in sales, their growth rate is slowing, with would-be buyers held back by the wider supply chain issues.

But the insatiable appetite for cars is still there – which is why, at the same time, a study into used cars has shown that the cumulative average price for secondhand buys is up by nearly 20 per cent. All those people who can’t get their bums into a shiny new Corsa are simply heading to dealers and car supermarkets instead in search of a pre-owned example, presumably engaging in a round of light fisticuffs with everyone else who had the same idea.

Nor, from painful experience, is sitting it out and occasionally renting something necessarily a way out either. I’ve been lucky enough to know when I’m travelling and been able to book several weeks in advance and have a freshly polished Kia deposited on my

doorstep, but colleagues who’ve needed rentals at short notice have been told that nothing’s available because everything’s been booked up (by me). Don’t like the car you’ve been given?

Tough.

In short – and there are all sorts of reasons for this, from China’s zero-cases policy on Covid, an ongoing logjam in global shipping, and Vladmir Putin’s summer visit to Ukraine – there just aren’t enough cars to go around.

The reason why new car sales are down isn’t because people don’t want them; it’s that the carmakers literally can’t build enough of them.

Don’t fancy spending over the odds on your next buy, or waiting month after month for a new car? For me, the answer’s simple – even in these stunted moments for the UK’s car market there are still all sorts of cars crying out for new owners, but you just have to cast your net a bit wider, and trawl through the classifieds and find something really interesting. You could, for instance, spend £12,250 on a brandnew Kia Picanto – or for the same money, you could have a BMW 740i, with 69,000 miles on the clock and a 4.4-litre V8 beneath its bonnet, sat on your driveway.

I know which I’d rather have. Make mine a 7-series with chips and curry sauce, please…

Skoda has treated its Enyaq to some subtle updates

Prices for the new MG4 will start at £25,995 when it goes on sale next month.

SKODA has kitted its all-electric Enyaq out with new software which helps it get further on a charger.

Other updates include changes to the car’s navigation system and head-up display, and the ability to check on where your car’s parked and its current charge status remotely on your phone.

The latest Enyaq is available to order now, with prices starting at £38,480.

The first MG4s arrive here next month
