NEW ROAD THROUGH PARK? NO TAR! Locals make their feelings known during the march

Rose with Sir Kenny Dalglish

Tributes are paid to ‘inspirational’ Rose TRIBUTES have been paid to a Hillsborough campaigner from Blundellsands who has sadly passed away.

Rose Robinson died on August 8 at the age of 79 after a short battle with cancer.

Her 17-year-old son, Steven Robinson, was one of the 97 Hillsborough victims who died in the 1989 disaster.

Steven went to Sacred Heart High School in Crosby and became an auto electrician before his death.

Rose - described as ‘inspirational’ - became the original press officer for the Hillsborough Family Support Group and later the northern media spokesperson for the HFSG. She played an important role in campaigning against the appointment of N orman Bettison as Chief Constable of Merseyside in 1998.

She fought tirelessly for justice for Steven and the other victims and even appeared on David Frost’s television show to be interviewed alongside fellow campaigner Anne Williams.

Her family say she will be terribly missed as she leaves behind husband Bernie, daughters Tracey and Claire and sons Paul and Peter and her seven grandchildren.

Report by Tom Martin

AROUND 1,000 people made their voices clearly heard after marching through the streets of south Sefton with a clear message: ‘we don’t want a road build through our park’.

Save Rimrose Valley has hailed the mass demonstration on Friday, August 20 as a ‘complete success’ after the large group of protesters walked in solidarity from Rimrose Valley Country Park all the way to the gates of Peel Ports.

People of all ages carried signs, banners and chanted during the peaceful protest against plans by Highways England to build a road through the heart of Rimrose Valley.

Stuart Bennett of the Save Rimrose Valley campaign told the Champion: “We were blown away by the huge turnout for our latest demonstration.

“Yet again, the communities of south Sefton and people from across the Liverpool City Region showed just how much they care about Rimrose Valley and the wider issues linked to this Port Access Road, by coming out in force.

March attracts hundreds of people opposed to port highway scheme

“Families and friends came together to create a wonderful, positive atmosphere and their amazing banners and placards delivered powerful messages. It was a day that will live long in the memory.”

Prior to the march, guest speakers attended a rally on Rimrose Valley itself. Local politi-

cians and environmental campaigners from across the country showed their support for what they said has become a nationally important campaign.

They then walked to the main entrance to Peel Ports, in Seaforth, in an effort to persuade the company to stop its support for the Highways England road plan.

Upon arrival, Sarah Edey, a local primary school teacher and trustee of the charity Rimrose Valley friends, was joined by her children Thomas and Lily, who handed a letter to Port Police Inspector, Stephen Christian. The Inspector is to deliver the letter to Peel Ports’ CEO, Mark Whitworth.

Hundreds of people attended the march, above.

Public invited to virtual health group meetings Report by Tom Martin HEALTH professionals in Sefton are inviting people to attend their virtual ‘Big Chat’ events in September.

This year sees a return to interactive ‘Big Chat’ style events combined with the NHS South Sefton Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and NHS Southport and Formby CCG annual reviews held virtually.

The events build on the success of last year’s virtual Annual General Meetings (AGMs), which were broadcast online due to Covid-19.

As well as looking back at the work of each CCG over the last year, the events will be a chance to get involved and give views during some interactive sessions about future plans for local health and care.

Separate events will be held for each CCG as follows: - NHS South Sefton CCG – Wednesday, September 8 (6pm to 8pm) - N HS Southport and Formby CCG – Wednesday, September 15 (6pm to 8pm) Chair of N HS Southport and Formby CCG, Dr Rob Caudwell, is encouraging anyone with an interest in local health and care to join the event and hear about the important work of the last 12 months, as well as plans for the future.

He said: “We’re pleased to be able to host a Big Chat again this year and we’re hoping that the time of the events and hosting them online will make it easier for

Dr Pete Chamberlain

some of our residents who haven’t considered attending a Big Chat before to come along, particularly those who have commitments in the day.

Chair of NHS South Sefton CCG, Dr Pete Chamberlain, added: “These events are an important opportunity to take stock of the challenging and unprecedented times we have been through over the last year, while also looking ahead to the future for local health and care.

“We want as many people to join us as possible so please register your interest in advance.”

A full agenda will be shared on the CCG websites and sent to the attendees ahead of the event.

Council’s canalside venue to host five day pop-up festival Report by Tom Martin

Lesley-Anne (right) with Alex and Sue

Lesley-Anne spins for Walking With Giants Foundation A MEMBER of Anytime Fitness has raised more than £1,000 for a Maghull-based charity.

Lesley-Anne Bull did 10 consecutive 45 minute spin classes (a form of indoor cycling) at the gym on Saturday, August 14 for the charity Walking With Giants Foundation.

Sue Connerty, the mum of a young boy called Alex Connerty who has a very rare form of Dwarfism called Microcephalic Primordial Dwarfism, set up the charity to support families whose child was affected with this condition.

Lesley-Anne commented: “I organised this fundraiser to support a wonderful local charity that is based in Maghull.

“This condition has affected less than 500 individuals globally since the condition was first recognised.

Sadly not many of these individuals live a long life due to the underlying medical conditions they face.

“The Walking With Giants Foundation has supported more than 140

of these individuals from the UK and around the world.

“The WWGF do not receive government funding or much grants from other sources so they rely on the public to help them raise the money they need to achieve their aims and objectives.

“So come on people let’s show the WWGF that the work they do matters!”

Sue added: “Lesley had support of others taking part in the classes.

Some people did one class, others did more and one other woman did the whole 10 classes too.

“I didn’t realise the intensiveness and how hard a spin class was until we went along to show our support.

“Alex the owner of Anytime Fitness and all his staff were fully supportive of the event.

“Through this event Lesley has raised more than £1,100 which is truly amazing.”

Tributes paid to inspirational Hillsborough campaigner From page 1

Among those also paying tribute was Professor Phil Scraton, who penned a book called ‘Hillsborough: The Truth’.

He said of Rose: “You were inspirational and determined in your pursuit of justice - for Steven, for all who were killed at Hillsborough and for those who survived, their lives changed for ever.

“You knew the truth and for three decades, along with bereaved families and survivors, you campaigned tirelessly to achieve justice for your loved ones.

“Rose, your strength of spirit, your commitment to ensuring the truth was known, never wavered. That commitment, shared by your family, the bereaved and survivors, reminds us that we never walk alone.”

Rose’s funeral will be held on Friday, August 27 at Thornton Crematorium at 1.30pm for friends and family.

SEFTON’S newest venue – Bootle Canalside – will open for the first time this weekend for a pop-up festival of food, drinks and a whole host of activities and entertainment.

The event will be held from Thursday, August 26 to Monday, August 30 and entry will be free for locals to get a first glimpse of Sefton Council’s new facility.

It will be the first time the much-anticipated venue will host an event and showcase its potential as a new feature of south Sefton’s hospitality and night time economy.

The five-day event is a chance to test the site and gather community feedback from residents, as well as attracting visitors to Bootle from across Sefton and beyond.

It is intended that the lessons learned from this, and other potential events later in the year, will inform design and business planning for the long-term future of the site.

There will be a mix of local traders, serving from bespoke, fitted shipping containers, which is a nod to Bootle’s docklands history.

Bootle Canalside will be accessible via Washington Parade and will open from 12 noon to 9pm.

Cllr Ian Maher, Leader of Sefton Council said: “I am thrilled to see Bootle Canalside opening up for the August Bank Holiday to provide a five, fun-filled days of food, drink and entertainment from a range of Sefton’s talented local traders, artists and entertainers.

“Bootle Canalside is being developed to work for our community and kick-start the regeneration and recovery of one of the country’s towns hardest hit by the COVID pandemic and other issues.

“I cannot wait to see the site bustling with visitors and I hope this is the start of a new chapter of opportunity, regeneration and recovery in Bootle and I hope lots of people head down to our latest venue and tell us what they think.”

Following the pop up, work will take place to

ment, which if successful would see the construction and launch of a new, hitech digital and Virtual Reality (VR) venue in Bootle to host a unique visitor attraction and provide places for technology enhanced ‘competitive socialising.’

Bootle’s ‘Flying Theatre’ will use a robotic hydraulic platform to create the feeling of flying through the British Isles and a VR Time-Travel Tunnel will take visitors on a journey through the ‘History of Bootle and Liverpool’, including an experience of the Blitz, adding to Bootle’s offer as a visitor destination.

complete the site based on community feedback.

Once completed, Bootle Canalside will include an urban garden, food, drink and leisure outlets and events spaces that adds a new element to Bootle’s local economy. It will bring activity to currently under-used land and will help to stimulate the local economy, transforming the look and feel of the town for residents, businesses and visitors and improving the quality of life for the community.

Stuart added: “The march’s purpose was to disrupt the Port of Liverpool’s operations and to shine a light on Peel Ports’ major stake in this road proposal, despite their public silence on the matter.

“We believe we did that, and that it will become harder and harder for them to ignore us.

“The fact that, even though an advanced request was sent via the authorities, no one from Peel Ports felt it necessary to accept the letter and greet concerned residents, speaks volumes. We are left to conclude that Peel Ports’ interest in Sefton begins and ends Thomas and Lily hand a letter to Port at the port’s gates.

“The letter demands that they Police Inspector, Stephen Christian withdraw their support for the road and get behind a truly sustainable solution which respects the health and wellbeing of our communities and our essential green space. We await Mr Whitworth’s response with interest.”

The next planning stage for the roadbuilding project is a consultation on the route in spring 2022. Save Rimrose Valley will be calling on the public to register their objections at this time and to reject the road proposal outright.

The Champion approached Peel Ports for comment.

Report by Tom Martin A FAMILY fun day will be held in memory of a Litherland student, who passed away two years ago from a rare form of meningitis.

Halle O’Brien, who was 19, fell ill in January 2019 at Edge Hill University and died a short time later.

Her family later discovered she had died from Group A streptococcal septicaemia, which caused her to contract meningitis.

On what would have been her 22nd birthday, a fun day will be held today (Wednesday, August 25) at the L21 Judo Club, at the Ford Lane Community Centre, in Litherland, from 10am-4pm.

It is being organised by Halle’s Hub, which is run

by Halle’s mum, Heather, who wanted to set-up a group to support local families.

Heather said: “The mini fun day will include an animal encounter with furry animals and creepy crawlies, teddy tombola, cake stalls. It’s a thank you for people and children that have supported Halle’s Hub since we opened at the beginning of June.

“Halle’s Hub is part of our fundraising for The Halle O’Brien CIC that we formed in memory of Halle.

“This meningitis is not one that you can immunise against as Halle had her one before going to university, so as part of our project, we like to highlight this and the importance of knowing the signs and symptoms of this type of Group A.” Heather also explained how Halle’s Hub has teamed up with the L21 Judo Club to offer even more support to the community.

She said: “Together we would like Ford Lane Community Centre to become a part of the community again where people can socialise and call in for support.

“There is a free school uniform rail and lots of preloved items for people to buy with all the funds going back into the community.

“Halle’s fund has already sent funds to local schools and sponsored a local children’s football team Forefield Rangers U9 Red and we plan to help lots more groups and schools with after-school activities come September.”

Halle’s Hub is open Wednesday to Saturday from 10am-4pm.

Consultation begins on management of parks and beaches Health officials and workers at the Port of Liverpool

Port of Liverpool workers get Covid jab NHS South Sefton Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and Sefton Public Health Team were invited by Peel Ports to the Port of Liverpool to vaccinate those working there who had not yet been able to get their vaccinations elsewhere.

The vaccinations were provided by an NHS team led

by Seaforth and Litherland Primary Care Network (PCN), a group of GP practices working together to provide local services and supported by NHS South Sefton CCG and Sefton Council’s Public Health Team.

Dr Sandra Oelbaum, clinical director Seaforth and Litherland PCN said: “Our team are proud of the role they played in ensuring that workers at the

Port of Liverpool were given access to a vaccine, whoever their employer was and ensuring that those working in this gateway to the city and important world-wide trade link are kept safe.”

Margaret Jones, director of public health for Sefton, said: “Vaccinations reduce the risk of catching and spreading Covid-19, you’re also far less likely to be seriously ill from Covid if you’ve been vaccinated. That is why it’s so important that we make it as easy as possible, for as many people as possible to get vaccinated right across Sefton.

So, I’d like to thank Peel Ports and our colleagues at the CCG and Seaforth and Litherland PCN for facilitating this programme at the Port of

Liverpool, helping to protect people in Sefton and beyond.”

The clinic was huge success with 102 vaccines given over just three days and more vaccination clinics are planned at the port for week commencing August 16.

Phil Hall, port director at Peel Ports said: “Maritime workers are an essential link in the supply chain and we are proud to be able to offer this service to our key workers, seafarers and pilots alike.

“Vaccinations will help to minimise the disruption on world trade and as a leading Port operator, we are deeply grateful to these unsung heroes for their relentless efforts and we must all work together to keep our industry, family, friends and colleagues safe.”

Report by Tom Martin A CONSULTATION is underway in Sefton to get feedback on the management of parks, greenspaces, playgrounds, sports pitches and beaches.

The customer satisfaction survey is now open for contributions until October 31 and can be completed at www.yourseftonyoursay.sefton.gov.uk Green Sefton Rangers will also be out and about over the next fortnight at popular parks and coastal locations, to help gather feedback and encourage people to submit their thoughts online.

Cllr Ian Moncur, Sefton Council’s cabinet member for Health and Wellbeing, said: “Sefton has 22miles of stunning coastline, more than 30 parks and around 180 open spaces. All these places have been more popular than ever over the pandemic for residents and visitors as people have enjoyed spending time outdoors.

“We have an incredibly passionate workforce who look after these sites, many of whom are experts on conservation and environmental issues. They work side-by-side a network of enthusiastic volunteers and community groups who together ensure our outdoor spaces are great places for people, animals and plants to thrive.

“It’s really important that we take time to stop and reflect on what has been an incredibly busy and demanding 18 months, and so conducting the survey at this time will allow us to make informed decisions on our management and development of the service area over the next few years.”

Feedback will be gathered from people who use Sefton’s parks, open spaces and coastal gateways to see how they rate the services provided by Green Sefton and to set a baseline for future customer satisfaction surveys.

Coronation Park, in Crosby

The survey also looks to provide an understanding of the expectations of visitors which needs to be balanced with the Council’s commitment to managing recreation pressure on the Sefton Coast. The Council must also fulfil its legal duties under the Habitats Regulations to protect these internationally important nature sites.

Cllr Moncur added: “We have faced backlogs and delays to many of our normal maintenance schedules this summer, as we’ve continued to feel the effects of the pandemic. We know that some of our outdoor spaces are not looking up to their usual standards, which people may well reflect on when answering our survey.

“But the management and maintenance of our greenspaces also needs to take into account the need to reduce the impact of climate change moving forward, and how we can boost our biodiversity so that rare species and habitats are not lost.

“We are interested in opening this dialogue with our residents as part of this survey, so that together raising the standards of our outdoor spaces doesn’t just mean regular mowing and pruning, but more sympathetic and sustainable approaches that benefit both people and planet.”

Domestic abuse charity given a funding boost

Vaccine bus rolls into south Sefton

SEFTON Women’s and Children’s Aid (SWACA) has been given a financial boost and will receive a slice of a £272,600 fund to help victims of domestic abuse and sexual violence.

Police Commissioner Emily Spurrell successfully bid for the government funding, which will now be divided up and given to charities across the region.

One of these will be SWACA, which supports any woman living in Sefton who has experienced, or is at risk of, domestic abuse.

Police Commissioner Spurrell said: “Victims of sexual violence and domestic abuse are among the most vulnerable in our communities.

“They deserve the best possible care and support to help them recover from the traumatic ordeal they have suffered.

“Our community-based support services do a fantastic job providing crucial care – but they are desperately stretched. I am determined to do everything I can to give them the resources they deserve and I will continue to try and access funding wherever I can.

THE NHS COVID-19 vaccination bus will be rolling into south Sefton this week.

The bus will be visiting Netherton Activity Centre on Friday, August 27, between 10am-4pm, where residents aged 16 and above will be able to get their vaccine.

It follows the buses successful initial visit to Asda car park in Bootle last week, with more than 119 residents taking the opportunity to get their jab.

Pete Chamberlain, local GP and chair at NHS South Sefton Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), said: “It was great to see so many residents taking advantage of this easy way to

Arts Society to meet for first time since before pandemic THE Arts Society in Crosby is set to meet up for the first time since before the pandemic.

The event will be held on Wednesday, September 8 when they will meet again in St Michael’s church hall in Blundellsands.

Chairman Richard Ainsworth said: “We’re delighted to be getting back to something like normal at last. The Zoom lectures have been excellent, but it’s not the same as being able to meet up with friends and listen to our speakers in person.”

All necessary precautions, including sanitising and distancing, will be in place.

The first speaker to deliver a talk face to face since lockdown began is distinguished musician Nigel Bates, who promises to lift the lid on life backstage at the Royal Opera House. The meeting starts at 2pm and full details can be found at theartssocietycrosby.org.uk.

“I submitted bids on behalf of 18 organisations across Merseyside with the hope of bringing a total of £1.3m in to support our essential services.

“Sadly, not every bid was successful and while this funding is very welcome, I am disappointed some organisations missed out on the critical funding they need and deserve.

“As I’ve said many times before, these one-off ‘crisis pots’ are not the way our vital support services should be funded. They do nothing to address this issue longterm.

“Victims deserve to know they will be supported whenever they need it. To deliver that, our support services need guaranteed, robust, sustainable funding so they can put appropriate support in place and plan for future demand.

“I have raised this with both the Home Office and Ministry of Justice already, and I will continue to lobby central government at every opportunity I get for a funding package that recognises the pressures our support services face and gives them the money they need.”

“We would encourage anyone who still needs to get their first or second vaccine to come along and take advantage of this quick and easy way to get protected.

“The vaccine protects yourself, your friends and your family, so whether you’re 80 or 18 it’s never too late to take up the offer.”

Betting shop closes to GARAGE DOORS make way for Crosby OFFER Village redevelopment £995

Special Introductory

Report by Tom Martin A BETTING shop in Crosby Village has closed down after 15 years on the high street to make way for the redevelopment of Telegraph House.

Betfred held its final day of opening last week and a spokesperson for the company told the Champion it was closing due to Telegraph House, where it is based, being transformed into a new mixed-use residential and retail development.

Crossfield Exclusive Developments has applied for planning permission to use Telegraph House for retail on the ground floor and 74 new homes on the upper floors with rooftop gardens for residents.

A Champion reader described the Betfred closure as “sad” and “another loss for Crosby.”

Betfred, based in Telegraph House in Crosby Village

Brian Metcalfe, a regular visitor to Betfred, said: “It is another loss in Crosby.

The block of shops that Betfred is on are supposedly due to be demolished later this year and new first floor flats and commercial premises are to be built to take their place, but it is a sad day to see another well established business shut.

“The friendly staff have all been re-

housed in other Betfred shops around Liverpool but it was always a great feeling in this small shop and you were always warmly welcomed.

“All the staff were on first-name terms with the punters to make it a pleasure to put a bet on in there. Good luck to all the staff and let’s hope they build a new Betfred here in the near future.”

Parents urged by health experts Residents to continue ‘sense of to look for RSV signs in children community ’ following lockdowns HEALTH experts are urging parents and carers in Sefton to be aware of the signs of respiratory illnesses in toddlers and babies, with cases higher than usual for this time of year and further increases expected over the winter months.

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a common virus that causes coughs and colds in winter and is the most common cause of bronchiolitis in children under two.

In the UK, the RSV season typically begins in the autumn – earlier than the adult flu season – and runs throughout the winter. However, this year we are now seeing this presenting in children much sooner.

Dr Anne Kerr, Emergency Department (ED) consultant, Alder Hey Children’s N HS Foundation Trust, said that while respiratory infections are common in children in autumn/winter, she is now seeing more children and babies with respiratory infections earlier on in the year,

due to restrictions lifting.

She said: "We’re now seeing more children and babies with respiratory infections coming through our doors at the emergency department, as restrictions have lifted and people are mixing again. Many new parents may not have experienced respiratory illness in their child until now which understandably, can cause them to worry.

“Most cases, however, will not be serious and often the child can be cared for at home with simple measures such as paracetamol, rest and plenty of fluids.

“Common symptoms of bronchiolitis are runny nose, a rasping, dry cough, mild increase in temperature. You may also notice them feeding less and making more effort in their breathing.

“Children under two months of age, those born prematurely and those with underlying health conditions, such as a heart condition, are a higher

risk of severe bronchiolitis and parents should consider accessing health advice earlier.”

Dr Nigel Taylor, clinical lead for respiratory conditions at N HS South Sefton Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) said: “If your child has a sore throat, cough or cold and you are concerned about them, contact NHS 111 by phone or online in the first instance or your GP can advise if needed.

“Most cases of bronchiolitis are not serious, but you should contact your GP or call N HS 111 if you’re worried about your child, they’re not feeding properly, they have a persistent high temperature of 37.8C or above, or they seem very tired or irritable.”

Couple whose marriage buckled after caring for loved ones with dementia take part in Memory Walk Report by Henry James A LIVERPUDLIAN man whose marriage broke down under the pressure of caring for his parents on their dementia journey has shared his story and will be competing in this year’s Liverpool Memory Walk at Aintree Racecourse.

Tony Davidson Cowen and his husband Gary Davidson Taylor had been living in Manchester for 16 years, but moved back to Tony’s childhood home in the village of Melling in April 2016 to care for his dad Cedric who had vascular dementia.

Cedric and his wife Maureen adopted Tony when he was 15 after fostering him for several years and have no other children.

In 2011 Cedric was diagnosed with vascular dementia. Maureen had been caring for him at home, but after he suffered a bad fall five years ago she was informed he would need round the clock care.

Tony said: “It was a big move but we immediately said we’re doing it.

“Gary was brilliant with my dad and they developed a really close relationship.”

Tony ’s shift pattern meant he worked four days on and four days off, so on his free days he would take over caring for Cedric.

Cedric sadly passed away in October 2018 aged 91, which was a devastating blow for the couple.

But it was followed by more tragic news when Tony ’s mum Maureen was diagnosed as being in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease just three months later.

In 2019 Tony and Gary got married at Southport Registry Office with Maureen by their side.

Maureen didn’t require the round the clock care that Cedric had needed and Gary was able to return to work and set up a successful dog walking business.

But at the start of this year Maureen’s Alzheimer’s got worse over a very short period of time.

Tony commented: “Gary was out working and he drove past the house and found Mum standing in the middle of the road.

“He helped her back into the house and asked what she’d been doing but she just said ‘I haven’t been in the road’.”

The couple took Maureen back to her dementia clinic, but a cognitive assessment test didn’t reflect

CROSBY residents who became better connected during the pandemic and formed a close bond during the various lockdowns want to continue their new found ‘sense of community’.

Those who live on Moorfield Road were brought together through ‘Clap for the NHS’ events during the first lockdown last year and since then they have organised small events on their street.

It started with a pavement party and afternoon tea to celebrate VE Day and then they switched on Christmas lights last winter.

Most recently, they organised a street party for charity and managed to raise £265 for SWACA (Sefton Woman’s And Childrens Aid) through a raffle sale.

They want to carry on with the events in the future and already have plans for more Christmas lights this year as well as another street party next year.

Bev Steel said: “During lockdown the residents of Moorfield Road in Crosby have developed a better sense of friendship and community.

The street party in full flow

“We decided to hold a street party to mark the end of lockdown in July and teams of neighbours worked together to place bunting the whole length of the road.

“Donations were made for a raffle and when the day arrived there was a real buzz. Neighbours had friends and family to join in, front gardens were converted to outside seating areas, barbecues were lit, children played and new friends were made.

“The raffle table was full of prizes and ticket sales raised £265 for SWACA (Sefton Woman’s And Childrens Aid). A great day was had by all!”

the changes she was experiencing.

The uncertainty over her condition took an emotional toll on Tony and Gary and it was clear that Maureen would need someone with her all the time to keep her safe.

In June Tony gave up his work to care for his mum full time.

Gary then told Tony he wanted to take a threemonth trial separation from their marriage.

While Cedric had always said he wanted to live at home until he passed away Maureen who is now 89 has told Tony she wants to live in a care home when she can no longer wash and dress herself, but there is no way of knowing when that day will come.

On Sunday, September 5 at 10am Tony and Gary, who remain close friends, are doing the Liverpool Memory Walk for Alzheimer’s Society at Aintree Racecourse to raise money to help people living with dementia and their family and carers.

Commissioner urges community groups to apply for funding Report by Tom Martin COMMUNITY groups in Sefton that offer safe and engaging activities for young people are being invited to bid for grants for projects running during the autumn half-term.

Merseyside’s Police Commissioner Emily Spurrell says she is releasing the first round of funding from her Youth Diversion Fund, using money raised through the Police Property Act, which sees money from the sale of unclaimed stolen goods or property recovered by the police which cannot be returned to be diverted into worthwhile causes.

The Commissioner is encouraging community organisations, charities and groups to apply for a vital cash boost of up to £3,000 grants for grassroots initiatives which are working to divert young people away from anti-social behaviour and crime during a time when this traditionally spikes.

A total of £50,000 is available from the fund for one-off grants for organisations which are committed to improving community safety, reducing crime or supporting victims.

The Commissioner said: “I’m delighted to be able to open up my Youth Diversion Fund for the first time for bids of up to £3,000 to organisations which are working to make their communities safer and better places to live by engaging with young people, particularly over the autumn half term.

“Many communities across Merseyside traditionally see a rise in criminal and anti-social behaviour around Bonfire and Mischief Night. Historically, it is also a particularly busy time for the police and the fire service. Through these grants, I want to

Wills, tax, trusts Lasting Power of Attorney Probate, intestacy Police Commissioner Emily Spurrell

help alleviate these issues and provide safe and engaging activities for young people to make sure they don’t become involved in anti-social or criminal behaviour.

“I want to see these grants used to support projects that complement the excellent diversionary work carried out by Merseyside Police and Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service, ensuring that young people can enjoy the autumn festivities in a safe and enjoyable way which is properly supervised.

“Local people know their communities best. They know what works when engaging with their young people and I am looking forward to reviewing their ideas and initiatives for ensuring everyone can have a safe and fun Halloween.”

All applications must be submitted online via the Community Foundation for Merseyside by 4pm on September 10.

Man’s impact on world’s Tiny part of population do horrible things climate is beyond doubt

Amazed by vets refusal to tell me update on cat found distressed I was amazed by the refusal of a Crosby vet’s practice to tell me how a cat was when I phoned asking about its condition after it had been found in a distressed state in a local road recently.

Walking home one morning, I had spoken to a lady who had found a kitten which was lying on a pavement and she was taking it to the local

vet’s. Later that day, I rang the vets to ask how the cat was, and I was told that it had been reunited with its owner, but because of privacy rules, they couldn’t tell me the cat’s condition!

I explained that I was just a concerned animal lover and only wanted to know if the cat was all right, but they still refused. They even told me that the lady who

had found the cat in the first place had also phoned, but that they weren’t allowed to tell her its condition either!

I fully understand the importance of privacy, but I didn’t want to be given any specific private details. I was just concerned about the cat’s welfare.

do horrible things, which is unacceptable and must be dealt with in the strongest possible way. I do however, believe that not all negative comments are because of race or colour. Many people in the public eye endure criticism, even of a personal nature; examples Princess Diana, Sarah Ferguson, David Beckham, Graham Taylor, Peter Crouch, Victoria Beckham, Wayne Rooney, Prince Andrew, Princess Anne, Greta Thun-

berg, etc, etc. There is little evidence that feelings towards Megan Markle are related to her race. She was welcomed most warmly by the nation at first, but it’s her actions that have lead to this ill feeling towards her.

Thank you for article

Rethink Coastal Cycle path

I’d like to thank The Champion for publishing an article about my book Thought for Today (21 July). Because of this the book is selling well at Pritchard’s.

The book is now also available at The Write Blend. We’re very fortunate to have two independent bookshops in our area and I hope sales continue to go well for both shops.

Thank you.

I totally agree with all the people who have sent in letters to The Champion recently objecting to the ridiculous proposed route of the Crosby Coastal Cycle path.

I appeal to Green Sefton on behalf of my 86 year old mother to rethink this ill thought through plan. She like many who live near the front were not consulted. My mum enjoys being taken out in her wheelchair to have some fresh air along the promenade. Presently it is very difficult to do so having to man-

oeuvre through paths full of sand.

It’s bad enough now but to load more fast electric bikes and scooters into pavements will make my mother fear for her safety, and I sadly think that she and others like her with reduced mobility will become more housebound. So as part of the silent unconsulted, my mother says please just clear up the paths and the promenade.

Step up to help beat dementia For over a decade, I have joined thousands of Alzheimer’s Society fundraisers who lace up their boots each autumn to complete a Memory Walk in support of those living with dementia and their families.

Last year, while we could’'t walk together in person, I was determined that the circumstances wouldn’t prevent me and my family from walking in memory of my nana, and I was in awe of the sheer number of people who also stepped onto their local streets to raise vital funds for the charity.

How are we supposed to embrace the necessary changes we must make in our energy usage and transport systems if we continue to deny the true causes of our present situation?

Publishing letters such as C. Quarrie’s, makes a mockery of factbased research that plainly shows that the world is suffering from man’s activity, which is causing all kinds of suffering to many people across the planet.

I feel I must take issue with the content and assertions made in the letter, which both seeks to minimise and deny the existence of climate change and its impact on this Planet Earth.

I was both surprised and disappointed that The Champion should publish this missive of denial, when the scientific evidence of man’s impact on the world’s climate is both factual and incontrovertible.

The chance to build our own agency as a family business and do things the way we believe they should be done was too good to pass up.

After maternity leave and then lockdown I found myself at home looking at what was going on and thinking about setting up my own agency, how I would want to run in it, and just as importantly how I wouldn’t. I’ve seen agencies react to changes in the market in the past, reducing fees and giving flattering valuations to win business. It becomes a race to the bottom, and it’s only natural that low fees lead to reduced service - it’s the client that misses out in the long run.

Right from the get-go we wanted to build something from the ground up based on

I wanted to work in an area I knew really well, and I’ve been valuing in and around

Maghull and Sefton for years and years now so that was the natural choice.

Our service is hands on, it’s personal, it’s traditional. But it’s also modern, the amount of tech we use behind the scenes and in our marketing is amazing, we’re pushing things on that side and I’m really proud that we can do that whilst still offering a really dedicated service.

We’re trying to provide a level of service that we think is missing from the market.

We won’t be for everyone, we get that and we’re comfortable with it.

But for those clients that place value over price when it comes to something as huge as selling your home, we feel we’re building something really special for them.

Making the most of your

Golden Years If you find yourself wondering what to do with your life after retirement, then you’re not alone. Lets face it, our working lives have shaped our daily lives for many years, and now all of a sudden, you could be thinking well what’s next?

But fear not, because the world has not passed you by….

A happy retirement is possible for anyone, even workaholics. Whether you’re retiring early or have worked way longer than you imagined, retirement can be whatever you want it to be.

Financial Planning

Staying Active

When it comes to planning for your retirement, you need to think about what you’d like your life to be like. Do you wish to relocate? Go on holidays?

Run a car? Enjoy weekends away and evenings out? These things all cost money and working out how you will spend your time once retired will help you plan how much income you are likely to need.

To prepare yourself for these changes it’s a good idea to make a budget by breaking down your potential future spending into two categories: Essential expenditure: money you need to cover your basic living needs, such as heating, utility bills, groceries and day-to-day travel.

Non-essential or ‘discretionary’ income: this is money for the things you like to do day-to-day and beyond, including eating out, holidays and leisure etc.

For some, that’s winding down and relaxing, for others it’s being busier and doing more than you’ve ever done.

Make it an enjoyable adventure spent doing the things you love with the people you love, exploring the places you always dreamed of.

Think about it, you now have time to rediscover old hobbies or uncover new ones! So do not fear about the next chapter of your life, as this one can be the most exciting!

You’ll need to look at different sources to estimate how much income you’ll have. These include the State Pension, personal or workplace pension schemes, state benefits you may qualify for on retirement and any savings or investments you have.

Physical activity and exercise are key to helping you stay healthy, energetic and independent as you get older.

According to the NHS, people who are active have a lower risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, some cancers, depression and dementia.

You should aim for at least 2.5 hours of moderate exercise each week and ideally, you should try to do something every day. Examples of moderateintensity aerobic activities include fast walking, cycling, water aerobics, playing doubles tennis and pushing a lawnmower.

Daily chores such as shopping, cooking or housework do not count towards your 2.5 hours because the effort required is not enough to raise your heart rate, although they do help break up sedentary time.

What you do will depend on your own circumstances but it’s a good idea to do activities you enjoy. You’re more likely to be consistent that way and stick to them. >

Tips to aging well

H

As you age, your life will change and you will gradually lose things that previously occupied your time and gave your life purpose. But this is not a time to stop moving forward. Later life can be a time of exciting new adventures if you let it.

H o at

If you’re not sure where to get started, try some of the following suggestions: Pick up a long-neglected hobby or try a new one. Taking a class or joining a club is a great way to pursue a hobby and expand your social network.

Learn something new, such as an instrument, a foreign language, a new game, or a new sport. Learning new activities not only adds meaning and joy to life, but can also help to maintain your brain health and prevent mental decline.

Get involved in your community. Try attending a local event or volunteering for a cause that’s important to you.

Travel somewhere new or go on a weekend trip to a place you’ve never visited.

Spend time in nature. Take scenic walks, go fishing or camping, enjoy a ski trip, or simply walk the dog in the park.

Enjoy the arts. Visit a museum, go to a concert or a play, join a book group, or take an art appreciation class.

Stay connected It’s important to find ways to reach out and connect to others, regardless of whether or not you live with a spouse or partner. Along with regular exercise, staying social can have the most impact on your health as you age.

Connect regularly with friends and family. Spend time with people you enjoy and who make you feel upbeat. It may

be a neighbour who you like to exercise with, a lunch date with an old friend, shopping with your children, or playing with your grandchildren.

Make an effort to make new friends.

Make it a point to befriend people who are younger than you. Younger friends can reenergise you and help you see life from a fresh perspective.

Spend time with at least one person every day. Whatever your living or work situation, you shouldn’t be alone day after day. Regular face-to-face contact helps you ward off depression and stay positive.

Volunteer Giving back to the community is a wonderful way to strengthen social bonds and meet others interested in similar activities, who share similar values. Even if your mobility becomes limited, you can get involved by volunteering on the phone.

Keep your mind sharp Challenge your brain. For some people, challenging your brain could involve playing new games or sports. Other people may enjoy puzzles or trying out new cooking recipes. Find something that you enjoy and challenge your brain by trying new variations or increasing how well you do an activity.

LIVERPOOL’S LMA Choir, who have singers from south Sefton, have launched their debut single, ‘Best Life’.

The group were formed at media, music and performing arts institution LMA and went on to appear in 2018’s The X Factor where they were mentored

by Robbie Williams.

They later performed alongside Robbie at Wembley and Hyde Park in 2019, in addition to honing their own sound and performing across the country.

Now, their track, which is available to download, is the vocal group’s first original release, with the lyrics designed to uplift and inspire, according to head of LMA Choir, Stephanie Wallace-Carr.

Stephanie, who is also creative director of musical theatre and dance at LMA, said: “We’ve been working on our own material for some time now and we felt there was a real gap in the market for positive, uplifting music, especially after the last 18 months.

“We’ve all experienced a very strange, tough period in our lives throughout the pandemic and, as we know, it’s taken a huge toll on our mental health. So, we wanted to create something that was really motivating and that sent an important message, too.

“The term ‘living your best life’ is such a widelyused phrase nowadays, but we want to shift the meaning and encourage people to live their best life by simply being themselves, feeling body positive, being kind and living in the moment.”

Produced by American producer BizKit, who has worked with the likes of Beyonce and John Legend,

LMA Choir

Best Life was recorded at LMA’s Liverpool campus at Metquarter.

The song features vocals from the whole choir and, after hearing the finished version, Robbie Williams, who is also a co-owner of LMA, gave his seal of approval.

Stephanie added: “We made the decision early on that we wanted everyone to have their chance to shine on this track so there is no lead vocalist and, instead, it’s a real blend of every member.

“We played it back to Robbie recently and he loved it – he said he loved how catchy and upbeat it was so we’re really looking forward to seeing what everyone else thinks!

“Releasing our debut single is something that’s always been a dream of ours and to finally be doing just that feels amazing – we’ve got lots of ideas for an album and we’re also really eager to tour eventually, so watch this space!”

Best Life is available to download on iTunes, Spotify and Apple Music now.

Speaking about Everton in the Community being recognised in the Ministry for Defence 2021 Employer Recognition Scheme Silver Awards, Everton Veterans’ Hub project coordinator David Curtis said: “It is an honour for our charity to receive the Silver covenant award and to be recognised for the work we do to support veterans and their families.

“I personally feel very privileged to be in the position I am and to see veterans grow through involvement in the programme and to move forward with their lives in a positive way.

Over the next year we will have more and more opportunities to better equip our veteran community on their continued

transition out of the forces and give them that much needed helping hand on ‘civvy street’.

We look forward to the next chapter of the programme and will work with our partners from across Liverpool City Region to support even more veterans and their families” The Minister for Defence People and Veterans, Leo Docherty added: “I would like to thank all the organisations who have proven their support for the Defence community during such unprecedented and challenging times. The vast range of those recognised this year demonstrates how employing the Armed Forces community makes a truly positive and beneficial impact for all employers, regardless of size, sector or location.”

During a wet and windy night on Friday, August 20, it was the Bucks who started the brighter of the two sides and opened the scoring in the first minute through Ben Hodkinson.

The scoreline was doubled in the 14th minute after a mistake by the goalkeeper allowed Jack McGowan to slot home.

AFC Liverpool pulled a goal back just before half time through Kyle Schorah to set the sides up for a nervy second half.

The equaliser came ten minutes from the re-start when Daniel Cockerline finished a superb move from the Reds.

We have a dedicated and talented design team able to

fourth year on the trot – and you get flag-waving bonus points because one of the drivers who made it happen was a Brit.

Yet I’m ashamed to say I didn’t catch a single moment of this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans, and nor do I know anyone else who did, either.

Surely, as someone who’s visited this historic circuit twice and loves nothing more than the howl of a highly tuned endurance racer at full chat, I’d be all over it, but nope. In fact, to see the action unfold at Arnage and the Mulsanne Straight you’d either have to pay to get access to Eurosport or do a lot of online faffing to see it on a livestream – and I’m sorry, but having spent most of the last 18 months stuck at home watching the telly, I went out to some car shows instead.

Normally a four-year run of victories, as anyone who’s seen Ford’s battle with Ferrari chronicled in the Oscar-winning Le Mans ’66 will knows, is a big deal. However, even petrolhead pals who I know are more than happy to bury their Sundays in F1 races are largely oblivious to Le We and haveI reckon a dedicated andthemselves talented that Mans, it’s the cars are the problem.

design team able to provide high quality design of your promotional material CITROËN has slimmed down its range of seven-

The FIA – motorsport’s global governing body – knows this, which is why for this year’s race it’s ditched the increasingly expensive topflight racers, called LMP1, and replaced it a new class, called Hypercars. They’re meant to be cheaper for the carmakers, based more closely on real-world tech and be more likely to use hybrid power – but you’re about as likely to see Toyota’s race-winning GR010 tootling up the Tarleton bypass as you are Boris Johnson winning Strictly. When the McLaren F1 won Le Mans, you at least knew it was based on something with a tax disc.

What I think would actually get Brits (besides the legion of really committed petrolheads who actually travel down to the circuit itself) truly into the world’s coolest motor race is getting it back to its roots and basing the entrants on cars that actually exist on real roads. In fact, send them down a French autoroute just before the race itself, numberplates intact – and if a sniffy Gendarme nicks the driver for it not being roadworthy, then it’s out of the race too.

That way, the cars will reflect the electric-only future we’re swiftly heading towards, and if a zero emissions racer can survive 3,000 miles of flat-out driving in the space of one day, it’ll hopefully translate into better tech for the rest of us, and a new generation of roadgoing Le Mans cars to get enthusiasts excited. Surely that’s the very definition of win on Sunday, sell on Monday?

An all-electric Ford GT40 that’s all-conquering on the track and exempt from city centre emissions charges?

I’d watch that. Would you?

Family Learning Maths, English and Crafts workshop in partnership with Community Café

The Community Pantry Café is based in Sefton Community Learning Service and is currently undergoing a face-lift.

We are looking forward to our return and catching up with our service users. We will continue to offer cooked food for members of the public and provide free community meals twice a week to reduce social isolation and encourage local people from the community to meet up.

We work with several organisations and supermarkets who donate fresh produce which we use to make nourishing, healthy food for families. We house a community fridge and freezer which stores this food, we want people to know they are welcome to come in and help themselves.

The Grub Tub enables the community to donate tinned and long dated food that is made into hampers and distributed to many schools, families and support services across Sefton. If you are a local business in the food industry looking to donate food, we can certainly make use of it.

For more information, to donate or get involved please follow us on Facebook at SeftonCommunityPantry and share our page.

Please Note - Courses will be run in a venue near you. Please call for more information
