LOCKDOWN TIERS FOR SEFTON ’ for support of City Region leaders but... ‘that ‘ ’ ’s PM ‘grateful ‘ not what happened’ claims ar area’’s Labour MP Bill Esterson Report by Danielle Thompson

Prime Minister Boris Johnson announces the new lockdown measures for the Liverpool City Region which includes the whole of Sefton Champion Ad.qxp_Layout 1 07/10/2020 10:08 Page 1

PUBS and bars across Sefton are closed from today (Wednesday) along with a host of other businesses including gyms and leisure centres, as the borough gets to grips with being placed in new, stricter, lockdown measures.

Liverpool City Region, which includes Sefton, is the first area in the UK to be placed into the most severe restrictions in a bid to reduce the number of spiralling coronavirus cases.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced the City Region was to be in ‘Tier 3’ under the new measures. Tier 3 is the ‘Very High’ alert level for ‘areas of greatest concern’.

The new restrictions, which came into force at midnight (October 14), now mean: l Pubs and bars close. They can only remain open where they operate as if they were a res-

taurant - which means serving ‘substantial’ meals, like a main lunchtime or evening meal.

They may only serve alcohol as part of such a meal. l Indoor gyms and fitness/dance studios, sports facilities, leisure centres, betting shops, adult gaming centres and casinos must close. l Wedding receptions will not be permitted.

Labour’s Liverpool City Region Mayor Steve Rotheram - praised by Prime Minister Johnson

l People should try to avoid travelling outside their local area, or entering another area rated Very High other than for work, education, accessing youth services, or to meet caring responsibilities. l People should avoid staying overnight in another part of the UK if they are resident in the Liverpool City Region and avoid staying overnight in the region if they are resident elsewhere.

The reason Liverpool City Region was placed in Tier 3 is due to alarming infection rates coupled with startling hospital admissions.

In announcing the measures Prime Minister Boris Johnson praised City Region Mayor Steve Rotheram for his cooperation in attempting to combat the virus on Merseyside.

He said: “I am hugely grateful to local leaders in the Liverpool City Region for the constructive discussions over the further steps we will take together to combat coronavirus.

MERSEYSIDE’S Chief Fire Officer, who grew up in Maghull, has been honoured in the 2020 Queen’s Birthday Honours list.

Phil Garrigan, who joined Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service in 1990, will be awarded an OBE ‘for services to fire and rescue during Covid-19’.

He said: “I am very humbled to receive this honour and recognise that it is in no small part down to the incredible people I work with, people who go out of their way every day to protect the public.

“Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service, who have always given me their unfaltering support and all those who are part of this great organisation, have helped us develop a national and international reputation - a reputation for making a real difference in the lives of those people we have the privilege to serve.

“Nowhere is this more evident than in our response to the pandemic, which has shown that we understand our place at the heart of our communities.

“I am also incredibly grateful to my wife Michelle for allowing me the opportunities in work that many other people aren’t afforded. I know my own limitations and I know that they are offset by hard work, accessibility and unswerving commitment to the people of Merseyside, all of which can come at a cost unless you have someone so understanding as my wife by your side.”

Phil, who now lives in Wirral, grew up in Maghull where he attended St George’s Primary School before going on to Maricourt High School.

He joined the firefighters 30 years ago and worked in some of Merseyside’s most vulnerable and deprived communities.

Phil led the emergency service through the 2018 inspection by Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) in which it achieved two ‘Outstanding’ ratings; the only Fire & Rescue Service in the country to do so.

Phil is also the National Lead for the Fire & Rescue Service with regard to its work with children and young people; transforming hundreds of lives across the UK through his leadership.

In 2013, Phil rebuilt the UK Fire Cadet movement, a national uniformed youth organisation delivered through all Fire & Rescue Services across the UK.

Betting shop raided by armed robber A MAN armed with a gun targeted Done Bookmakers in Bootle last week and threatened staff before taking cash.

Detectives in Sefton are appealing for information after the incident at around 3.50pm on Tuesday, October 6 on Hawthorne Road. They were called reports of a man having entered in possession of a firearm, who made threats to staff, before taking a quantity of cash. Nobody was injured although staff and witnesses were shocked.

The suspect is described as white, aged 2025, with a neck warmer covering his face, a hood up and a dark tracksuit, riding a pedal cycle.

Aintree Village Community Library has now reopened AINTREE Village Community Library which is based in Aintree Community Centre, Oriel Drive, has now reopened on Tuesdays from 10.30am till 12.30pm, and Thursdays from 2pm till 4pm.

Restrictions will be in place where only one person will be allowed in the library room at a time unless there is more than one person from the same family, they will then be allowed in together.

A spokesperson for Aintree Village Community Library said: “We ask people to be patient as we can only allow a maximum of six people in the main hall at a time. We also ask people to wear a face covering, but we will have some available if you forget.”

Membership is £1 and covers the cost of a laminated membership card. There are no further payments or fines.

Members can take up to six books at a time and returned when finished with. They also have a large selection of jigsaws that can be borrowed.

The spokesperson added: “We normally offer a cup of tea/coffee and biscuits (no charge) and a chat, but in the present circumstances we have had to suspend that service.

Renewed appeal to catch the killer of Kyle Whitley POLICE are still appealing for information six months after the murder of Kyle Whitley after hewas stabbed to death in Litherland.

The 18-year-old was attacked in Vincent Road on Monday, April 13 and to date five people have been arrested and remain under investigation.

Police still want to speak to anyone who was in the area of Vincent Road, between 23pm on the date of the murder who they haven’t already spoken to.

Officers are also asking for anyone who was in the surrounding area who may have captured something on CCTV or dash-cam camera to get in touch.

Detective Chief Inspector Mark Baker said: “This was horrific assault carried out in broad daylight and which led to the untimely death of an 18 year-old man.

“Our investigation into the murder remains ongoing and we remain committed to finding the person responsible for Kyle’s

death. It has obviously been a distressing six months for Kyle’s family as they try to come to terms with what happened and I would ask anyone who has any information which could help get them the answers they are looking for to come forward and speak to us.”

Anyone with information is asked to DM @MerPolCC or contact @Crimestoppers anonymously quoting reference 20000215637.

Blue wheelie bins like this one could be set for Sefton

Pugh, who opposes the move, said: “My big concern all along is for those who don’t have big back gardens and want to recycle but lack the space.

“Sefton has a fair amount of property where road access is only from the front. Already there are problems where terraced streets are adapting to the existing to the wheelie bin regime and having to push refuse through their house.

“People may refuse yet another bin and recycling rates would actually fall. I have seen no evidence that the existing brown bin scheme used for mixed recycling has failed.

“The decision seems to be motivated by the Sefton Council's desire to get more money itself for the recycled glass at the expense of the Merseyside Waste Disposal Authority who currently separate and sell it. It’s not about the residents.”

If Sefton’s Overview and Scrutiny

Thief who pretended to be police officer to steal from 92-year-old pensioner is jailed A CALLOUS thief who pretended to be an under-cover police officer to trick his way into the home of trusting 92-year-old Crosby woman to steal her purse has been jailed for four years.

The victim and her family were devastated by this cruel raid - in which £600 savings were taken - and they have been left upset and uneasy.

Michael Delaney, who is a traveller, carried out the theft with another accomplice when they posed as officers in order to get access into the pensioner ’s home on Trevor Road.

Delaney appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on Friday, October 9 when he was put behind bars.

“This was a disgraceful crime. It was highly dishonest, cunning and cynical and committed against an elderly vulnerable lady of 92,” said Judge Garrett Byrne.

“I am satisfied you targeted her because of her age,” he added.

Gerald Baxter, prosecuting, told Liverpool Crown Court that the victim had been watching ‘Songs of Praise’ on the television at lunchtime on July 19 this year at her home.

She went into the kitchen but then heard a knock at her front door and opened it and found two men outside wearing masks.

They claimed they were undercover officers investigating a man who had been stealing, though did not show her any identification.

They asked if they could come in to check the house which she allowed and they went into her living room.

One asked her if she could show him the back garden and when they came back in his accomplice, Delaney, asked if she was going to go upstairs to check her money.

Mr Baxter said she told him, “it was with me in the living room in a plastic bag and he asked if he could see it. I showed him and he grabbed a black purse from it and they both ran out of the house.”

The purse contained £500 and after dialling 999 the shocked pensioner noticed that another purse, containing £100, had been stolen from her handbag.

When she went upstairs she found that Delaney had been up there as cupboards and drawers were left open and a few pounds had been stolen from another purse. A Tetley tea tin had also been moved and this was found by police to have his fingerprint on which led to his arrest in September.

Delaney, 35, of Oil Street, Liverpool city centre, has 13 previous convictions including dishonesty and was

SEFTON Council will hold a meeting next week to decide on whether to press ahead with plans to introduce blue wheelie bins for glass recycling after it was challenged by some councillors.

Ever since the plan was revealed last month, it has prompted a largely negative response from local residents who claim they don’t have enough space outside their homes for an additional wheelie bin.

The local authority want to purchase 100,000 blue wheelie bins so residents across the borough can separate glass from cardboard, which is usually all put in brown bins.

But the rolling out of the new bins was delayed after councillors ‘called in’ the plan, which means it has to be further debated by the local authority.

This will happen at an Overview and Scrutiny Committee meeting set to be held on Monday, October 19.

Lib Dem Cllr for Southport, John

the subject of a community order for fraud at the time of the offence.

His lawyer Khadim Al’Hassan said that the defendant had gone off the rails after the death of his brother and turned to alcohol. “It is only while in prison that he has now realised how far he has fallen from where he was.”

He had got involved with others and made “an error of judgement.

He is now able to see the error of his ways.”

Committee agrees with Mr Pugh’s arguments, the decision to press on with ordering 100,00 blue bins will be referred back to the council’s Cabinet for re-consideration.

The council say that collecting glass separately produces much higher quality material which can be used for closed loop recycling, and used for remelt rather than aggregate, making it ‘infinitely recyclable’ into new glass jars and bottles.

The quality of the other materials, such as paper, cardboard and tin cans, collected in brown bins will also deliver better quality material for recycling.

The cost of the plan and the updating of the cleansing vehicle fleet will be offset by £400,000 of recycling income generated annually over ten years from the Merseyside Recycling & Waste Authority, as a result of Sefton Council removing glass from its general recycling collections.

Staff praised for ‘incredible work’ THE Chair and Chief Executive of Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust have praised staff for their “incredible work” during the organisation’s first year.

The Trust was created on October 1 2019 by the merger of the trusts running Aintree University Hospital, Broadgreen Hospital, the Liverpool University Dental Hospital and the Royal Liverpool University Hospital.

The new organisation is one of the largest NHS university teaching trusts in the country and one of Merseyside’s biggest employers with a workforce of more than 15,000.

Sue Musson, chair, and Steve Warburton, chief executive, cut a symbolic anniversary cake as they used their anniversary message to thank staff for their work during the last 12 months.

VETERANS are appealing for members of the public to support the Poppy Appeal – despite the pandemic.

Former councillor, veteran and Legion committee member Jack Colbert said: “Veterans need your support and even more so this year!

“Crosby Legion gives a really big thank you to our volunteers and members of the public who have supported us in recent years when we have collected over £120,000 in the past four years.

This year Covid-19 will massively restrict selling poppies in all the areas, because of the safety of our volunteers and the public is paramount.

“You can still support our veterans because poppies will be available in some supermarkets, schools, churches and other local outlets but in reduced numbers. Metal poppy badges will also be seen in some supermarkets and some local shops.

Now what’s the exit strategy? asks MP Esterson From page 1

“They will be critical to save lives and protect the NHS - so it can continue to provide the essential services that so many of us rely on.

“We will continue to work closely with other local leaders in the days ahead.”

The government has also confirmed £14 million for the Liverpool City Region to enhance enforcement of the new rules and NHS Test and Trace measures. Local leaders will be able to use the money for a range of activities including compliance and

enforcement, enhanced contact tracing and support for the clinically extremely vulnerable.

They will also be able to call on the armed forces to provide additional logistical support if necessary.

The support is in addition to the package announced by Chancellor Rishi Sunak last week to protect jobs and support businesses required to close their doors as a result of coronavirus restrictions.

However, Sefton Central Labour MP Bill Esterson told the Champion: “Boris Johnson claims that the leaders in the

Liverpool City Region have agreed the new measures with him. This is not what has happened. The government has decided what is going to happen and told everyone. He wants to be able to blame them if this doesn't work.

“I asked the Prime Minister in the House of Commons on Monday what the exit strategy is. What does the rate of infection need to fall to for the restrictions to be lifted? People need hope, they need to know these measures are not going to be in place indefinitely.

What is the evidence that these measures will work?

Kitten has to have its leg amputated after being shot with an air rifle

“The Prime Minister could not even be bothered to respond to my question about the evidence. He simply said the R would have to be less than one. How will we know when we get to that level? R is only an estimate.

“It’s only three weeks since the PM told us to go back to the office. The real weakness in the Prime Minister's statement was that full lockdown would affect our ability to fund the NHS. Yet he is providing poor support for business and individuals in local lockdown areas. This will only exacerbate economic problems.”

A KITTEN had to have its leg amputated after it was shot by yobs with an air rifle in Litherland.

The family pet, called Gaston, was injured on Sunday, October 11 at around 2pm near its home on Gorsey Lane after a pellet was fired into his back leg.

Despite being rushed to the emergency vet by its owner, Tom Burns, the injured leg had to be removed.

Tom said: “We were at home and Gaston came through the cat flap and we could tell straight away he was hurt. We could clearly see the injury and what had caused it.

“I took him to the emergency vet in Huyton and got told his leg had been shattered by the pellet and the kindest thing to do would be to amputate it.”

Tom, 34, got Gaston from a local rescue centre in Walton at the start of lockdown and named him after a Disney character in Beauty and the Beast.

He said the incident has been particularly upsetting for his young daughter, who helped name the cat.

Leaders of region’s local authorities issue joint statement on new restrictions ‘We must be clear we have not yet reached an agreement on the wider economic support package that we require’ IN a joint statement issued following the Tier 3 order for the City Region, the Metro Mayor, Liverpool City Mayor and the Leaders of the Region’s six local authorities, including Sefton, said: “Since we were first informed by the Government that, in response to the high and rising Covid-19 cases in the City Region, they would be placing the Liverpool City Region onto new Tier 3 restrictions, it was made clear to us that government would be doing this regardless of if we engaged with them or not.

“Since then we have been in dialogue with high level Government officials to try to negotiate a package of support in the best interests of the people of Liverpool City Region.

“We share the Government’s grave concerns about the increasing pressure on our hospitals and remain absolutely committed to working with the Government to drive down the spread of the Coronavirus and the number of Covid-19 cases.

“For anyone who has been in any doubt about the gravity of the situation we face if we do not bring cases down, the preparations announced this morning to step up the North West NHS Nightingale Hospitals may now be a wake-up call.

“It is therefore now as important as it has ever been that we do everything we can to contain the virus, protect our NHS and save lives.

“However, we want to be clear that there are some things upon which we have been able to agree with the Government, but others where we do not, such as the level of the furlough scheme.

“To assist with efforts to bring the number of cases down, we have gained agreement from government for new, local arrangements and funding support for more localised test, trace and isolate and also enforcement, specifically: “These measures will be supported by a specific package of financial support to deliver this for our City Region, covering a six-month period and not dependent upon the Tier position of our City Region.

“In addition to this, we have secured an assurance from the Treasury that in coming to that national position, no Local Authorities placed on Tier 3 restrictions will be put in a position where they are unable to balance their budget this year or to set a legal budget next year. Further discussions will take place as a priority over the coming week.

“However, we must be clear that we have not yet reached an agreement on the wider economic support package that we require.

“The national furlough scheme is inadequate and risks pushing tens of thousands of low paid workers below the national minimum wage, while the direct support to businesses is also less than that offered during the national lockdown.

“We have been assured by government that they will continue to engage in meaningful talks with us on these matters in the coming days and we intend to hold them to that promise. In the meantime, we are looking at what economic support can be provided locally, while we await further national government support.”

Gaston

He added: “I want other people in the area to be aware of what can happen.

This isn’t the first time one of my cats has been shot.

About six or seven years ago another cat I had was injured but not as bad as this.”

Gym owner says new measures ‘unfair ’

James Jones at his gym

A GYM owner in the borough has hit out at the move to place the City Region in Tier 3, claiming the move is ‘unfair.’

James Jones, 42, owner of The Fitness Lab in Birkdale, told the Champion: “The gym had to shut at midnight on Tuesday but it’s confusing as outdoor sessions can continue and indoor sessions can carry on as long as households don’t mix.

“We have as many measures in place as we can to make it as safe as possible such as Track and Trace, face masks, hand sanitiser and bookings.

“The latest figures on the UK Active website show that 1 in 300,000 people have contracted the virus in a gym setting. In 22million visits to the gym, there have only been 78 confirmed cases according to UK Active, and I believe that it is a mistake to shut gyms.

“I would not be reckless at all but it’s confusing and I feel very frustrated.

“I am not against restaurants staying open but it feels unfair that they can stay open with extra measures but we cannot.

“For other small businesses, this could be the end of them.”

Speeding motorist kills goose after crashing car into farmer’s field Hit-and-run driver also damaged hedge and smashed into scarecrow Report by Danielle Thompson A SPEEDING motorist crashed his car into a farmer’s field in Lydiate, killing a goose and causing damage to the property before fleeing on foot.

The farm belongs to Lydiate parish councillor Edie Pope, who has been campaigning to have speed cameras placed on the road.

The stretch of road which causes concern for Edie is a sharp bend between Mairscough Lane and Southport Road – and in May, the Champion highlighted how residents were so worried that they wanted some sort of deterrent put in place.

Edie put up a scarecrow, which is holding a speed gun, and said that it was working to help slow down motorists – until a Land Rover ploughed into her farm’s thorn hedge shortly before 9pm on Tuesday, October 6, killing one of her pet geese, flattening a one-tonne trailer farm sign, ripping the head off the deterrent scarecrow and coming to rest in her field.

She says that action ‘must be taken’ to stop speeding in the area – and that ‘it was a goose this time, but it could be a person next.’

Danger road Edie told the Champion: “A car lost control on the bend at speed again, went through the thick hedge, obliterated a sign and killed one of our geese!

“We have had Gertrude for more than 12 years and she was a little character – she used to guard the gate at night with our other two geese and I was so sad to see that she had been killed.

“They hit the speedo doll that I made – her head was hanging off in the hedge. If they had hit a person they would have killed them outright as well, it was horrible to see. Around that time you do get a lot of people walking their dogs, using that pavement right there – it could well have been me.

“The crash moved the trailer – which weighs more

than a tonne! - around 10ft sideways, it would take some serious force to move it that far! It weighs possibly more, maybe even a tonne and a half.

“The road is getting worse and worse.

“The driver and passenger ran off on foot – one down Church Lane, Lydiate and the other in the direction of Maghull. I saw one and he was a white male, around 5ft9in, all black clothing, in his 30s with dark hair.

“I fought so hard to get the road from 60mph to 40mph – but motorists still speed here. Speed cameras would give the police their money back in no time. I’ve lost count of the crashes – it must be at least eight in the last two years. A speed test was carried out in September and they hit speeds of 100mph-plus!”

A spokesperson for Merseyside Police said: “We were contacted at just after 9pm on Tuesday, October 6, following reports a Landrover Discovery had been in collision with a hedge and a trailer at Church View Farm on Southport Road, Lydiate.

“The male occupant of the car left the scene prior to patrols arriving.

“Nobody is reported as having been injured in the collision. Enquiries are ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to DM @MerPolCC or call 101 quoting reference 20000605671.”

Cinema hosts first school trip since February YOUNGSTERS who attend Crosby High School enjoyed a trip to their local cinema as part of World Mental Health Day. The pupils were invited to the Plaza Cinema to watch

the film Inside Out and the children sat in their socially distanced bubbles.

It is the first time since February that the Plaza has been able to host a school trip.

Martin Fol, cinema manager added: “It was great to see students at the Plaza again. This was the first time since February and I could tell that the students really enjoyed the film.”

Remembrance garden opens in memory of music teacher A REMEMBRANCE garden has opened in honour of a former music teacher from Crosby.

The garden, in memory of Isabel Morison, has opened at Sacred Heart Catholic College’s Lower Site in Crosby.

Work started earlier this year on the garden which was designed to be a lasting memorial to Isabel, who sadly died in May last year following a year-long battle with an incurable brain cancer.

Staff, her friends and family helped design and work on the area, as well as donating items of garden furniture, to create a peaceful space to take time out to relax in.

Headteacher, John Pye is delighted with the results and believes it is something that Isabel would have enjoyed.

He said: “The remembrance garden is a fitting tribute to someone who was a wonderful person and will always be

Formby Beach

New vision for coastal paths in Merseyside COASTAL paths stretching along 72 miles of the North West’s coastline - including Sefton – are set to be revamped as part of a ‘vision for a continuous path through Lancashire and Merseyside.’

Natural England has published new proposals to improve public access along a 116km stretch of coast between Cleveleys and the Pier Head in Liverpool, including 43km (27 miles) in Merseyside.

The path takes in some of the most famous and popular parts of the North West coast including the sand dunes at Formby and Ainsdale and the many piers visible along the coast.

There are miles of stunning beaches along the stretch, including at Crosby where Anthony Gormley ’s ‘Another Place’ installation emerges with each retreating tide. Add to this the numerous nature reserves, with 37% of all the rare plants in the North West found on the Sefton Coast as well as Natterjack toads

and sand lizards in the dunes, red squirrels in the woodland and some great bird-watching opportunities over coastal saltmarshes, such as the RSPB reserves at Hesketh Out Marsh and Marshside.

Ginny Hinton, Natural England’s area manager for Cheshire to Lancashire said: “It’s wonderful to progress our vision for a continuous coast path through Lancashire and Merseyside.

“Over the next eight weeks, we are inviting all organisations, farmers, local residents, visitors and businesses to have their say.

It’s important to get feedback and we look forward to hearing people’s views.”

Andrew Brockbank, countryside manager for the National Trust added: “The proposed route at Formby offers exciting opportunities to explore the dynamic dunes and experience wild nature. The route will follow existing natural paths through pine forest, former asparagus fields and natural dune land with

spectacular views across Liverpool Bay. Formby is a rapidly changing dune system and the ability for the England Coast Path to roll back in future sits well with our adaptive approach to managing for people and nature.”

Councillor Ian Moncur, Sefton Council’s Cabinet Member for Health and Wellbeing, added: “Sefton will be the only region in the country to deliver its own stretch of England Coast Path ‘inhouse’, ensuring there are multiple benefits to the borough, including providing work and training opportunities to adults with learning difficulties through our Natural Alternatives programme.”

If approved, the route will become part of the England Coast Path – a 2,700 mile long walking route.

All representations and objections must be received by Natural England no later than midnight on Wednesday, December 3 at the GOV.UK website.

Biggest flu programme in history being rolled out across borough

Sefton COVID-19 Update

Report by Danielle Thompson GP surgeries and pharmacies across Sefton are vaccinating thousands of people against flu.

This year will be the most comprehensive flu programme in UK history, with more people eligible for the free NHS vaccine than ever. If you are eligible, please do not call your practice, your GP practice will be in touch to let you know the plans for you to get your vaccine.

Those eligible for a free flu vaccination this year are: • people who are on the shielded patient list and members of their household • school year groups up to and including year 7 • people aged over 65 • pregnant women • those with pre-existing conditions including atrisk under-2-year old's.

Later this year, dependent on supply, people aged 50 to 64 will also be invited to get the flu vaccination. If people are in this age group, they should wait for their invitation and do not call for an appointment.

Dr Craig Gillespie, chair of NHS South Sefton Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), said: “With more people eligible for the flu vaccine and the need for social distancing and infection control measures staff have been working really hard to ensure that everyone will be as safe as possible while receiving their vaccination this year.

“Don’t ignore the flu, it’s a potentially fatal illness and one that can spread very quickly. If you are eligible for a free flu vaccine and invited to have it, it is important that you take up that offer.”

Highways England Excessive dog should think again barking must be dealt with on Rimrose plans Well said, Lee O'Brien, (Champion Letters, October 7) regarding the wonderful wildlife encountered in Rimrose Valley.

It takes patience and a good eye to take such photographs; unlike the cursory professional ecologists employed by Highways England who may turn up one day to deny the existence of wildlife or promises of planting trees to replace the woodland they intend to fell.

The area is a much appreciated Urban Common and designated Country Park that, as Lee says, has proved a Godsend during the pandemic lockdown; indeed a haven of peace for house-bound families and those taking an hour's exercise a day.

The need for a heavy goods road is so Peel Ports can distribute their container cargo. though they’ve had since the dockers’ strike of 1995 to plan viable alternatives via existing rail tunnels to Wavertree or by super barges to Garston and Ellesmere Port.

The problem is the air and

sound pollution caused by the volume of freightcarriers along Church Lane, Litherland.

But, with Boris’s promise of a greener Britain, surely no such vehicles should be allowed beyond Switch Island where a depot and check point could be created with overnight facilities for the drivers while electric vans ferry the pre-sorted goods.

The cost, if the road is insanely ‘bulldozed’ through this three miles lung of ‘green edgeland’ that local poet, Paul Farley, calls treasured exfarmland, will be borne by taxpayers at the expense of Sefton ratepayers’ medical and mental health.

That’s assuming Boris gets a Trade Deal with Europe, or the USA and other distant continents, in which case time wont be the priority, just well planned efficiency.

The times they are a changing. Highways England, think again.

Eddie Roberts, Crosby

In response to the letter in the Champion on October 7 - ‘Dogs left to bark can cause a great deal of mental distress’, dog owners must be made to take responsibility for animals they choose to have.

Importantly, they must understand that they have a responsibility also to the neighbourhood they live in.

Irresponsible neighbours will allow their dog to cause a nuisance but they must be made to face up to their responsibilities.

In the UK, excessive dog barking is considered to be a statutory noise nuisance. Clearly, the letter writer has tried to resolve the matter with the owner and given them an opportunity to remedy the situation.

In the case where the owner refuses to co-operate, the ‘victim’ must escalate the matter to the relevant department within a local authority.

Nobody takes pleasure in having to complain to their neighbours about noise or other nuisance behaviour, however, if you have made every effort to be reasonable with your neighbour, the law is 100% on your side.

Do not allow other people’s selfish attitude to negatively impact on your life and the enjoyment of your own home in peace.

Steve Kelly, (by email)

Where are we expected to park?

I seriously hope that a nationwide ban on parking on pavements does not go ahead.

Our avenue recently lost all the trees that had been a feature for many years and part

of their removal included access for pedestrians, amongst other reasons.

The Avenue is narrow and there is a necessity to park partially on the kerb to

Hats off to police Do we all remember cheering up our medical front line workers?

Police work is not so different and, possibly, I’d say worse. Officers need to deploy customer care/client skills and the work requires the ability to assess a situation well, then decide, on-the-spot, the best workable solution for what can be an unpredictable situation that can easily escalate and can get out of hand - never mind talking about injuries, or worse, in line of duty.

Police have to deal with a cantankerous minority who should know better but whose reckless and irresponsible behaviour can endanger themselves and impact upon innocent by-standers caught up in it all.

Nobody goes to work morning, noon and night to get verbally insulted, or worse.

So hats off to the police and all who have to deal directly with the public. So before anybody opens their mouth, or tightens a fist and has a go at them, can they think on, take a deep breath, count to 10, and avoid trouble.

‘Mimi T’, Seaforth

allow other vehicles especially ambulances and fire engines - and waste removal vehicles access. There is still sufficient room for prams and wheelchairs to get through.

None of our neighbours park too far on the pavements.

However, interestingly, as we live close to a school, it is amazing how many people who don't live in this avenue, park wherever they want, haphazardly on the pavements, block driveways and also don’t leave sufficient space for pedestrians, including parking on the corners of roads blocking any chance to see oncoming vehicles or indeed pedestrians.

But if this ban goes ahead where are we expected to park?

Not all of us have the luxury of a drive-

way. What happens if an emergency vehicle is urgently needed?

Our vehicles are required because a number of us are key workers and work some distance from home. Are we being penalised for owning a car?

Are they expecting us to leave at the crack of dawn to get public transport?

The majority of us who work already leave way before the start of peak school times and return long after school closes therefore our vehicles are not the ones blocking the pavements if we are at work. The remainder of the time, the avenue is empty.

By the way, I tried to get on the survey which didn't work, hence the need to write this letter.

‘Colin’, Litherland

Enough laws already to tackle problem of pavement parking I was rather concerned by your report on Pavement Parking.

While I agree this can be a problem, there are enough laws already to deal with it.

If the police haven’t the resources to tackle this problem at present, a new

law is not going to make any difference to that situation.

The problem is bad inconsiderate drivers, but there are many roads in Southport where such parking is a necessity as the roads are too narrow.

To say then that people

should use public transport more and own less cars is to trot out a utopian dream that will not happen.

More realistically it is easier to educate or fine people who are breaking the existing laws .

No space for dogs!

In response to the recent ‘Letters to the Editor’ from Lindsay Jardine regarding off-lead dogs ruining her afternoon walk on the sand dunes.

The reason there are so many dogs walking off lead in this area is because Sefton Council enforced Public Space Protection Orders (PSPO) across Sefton forbidding the walking of dogs off lead in the majority of other public spaces across the borough.

Although dogs are still allowed off-lead on the beach and the open area around the beach these spaces are over-populated and cause too much of a distraction when trying to manage multiple dogs off lead.

Sadly, the dogs she is encountering on her walk most likely have conscientious owners who have chosen to stay away from busier areas such as the beach in order to exercise their pets without them causing a nuisance to the general public. The only other open area

attractive part of Crosby. The area maintained by Crosby Lions nearby is in stark contrast and shows what can be achieved.

Can I appeal to Sefton Council to be pro-active in ensuring that we don't have to suffer another 14 years of this derelict area -either build or give us a village green.

We, as humans, do not learn from history and are therefore doomed to repeat it.

The Spanish flu lasted for two years. The second wave killed far more people than the first, and in total there were four waves.

It killed 50m people around the world. Citizens were ordered to wear masks, and everywhere shut down. Mail distribution stopped, as did rubbish collection. Many people had to dig graves for their own family members.

Here we are, 100 years later, and what have we learned? Half the people do not want to wear masks because they think it is a hoax/it is not that bad/the government is lying.

People want to prioritise their own narcissistic desires and privileges over other human beings’ lives. What did they have in 1918? No TV, no internet, not a lot of food supply.

What do we have? TV, internet, movies that can be watched from home... you name it. Yet we are a world full of entitled and selfish people who lack human empathy and act oppressed when given any minute sense of responsibility.

Being a decent human should be common sense...

Peter Allan, Crosby

Jack Colbert, Seaforth

to walk multiple pets off lead is Rimrose Valley, which as you know is soon to have a road built through it.

Personally, I do not like the cyclists who ride too fast across Rimrose Valley but I do not complain about them because they too are looking for somewhere safe to ride away from traffic.

Is it too much to ask that Lindsay be sensitive to the needs of others and realise that everyone is trying to go about their business as safely as they can and do not intentionally set out to upset others.

Sefton Council have recently run a consultation about the existing PSPOs in place across Sefton specifically relating to dogs off lead.

Lindsay has missed the deadline to get involved in this as the consultation closed on October 5, however she can still contact them by email.

Rimrose campaigners claim new survey shows park is needed

UP TO 50% LESS THAN A NEW FULLY FITTED KITCHEN by simply replacing the doors and worktops

Report by Tom Martin A NEW report shows how one in five people in England struggle to access quality green space, with neighbourhoods surrounding Rimrose Valley among some of the worst in the country.

A study commissioned by leading environmental group Friends of the Earth, supported by players of the People’s Postcode Lottery, found that some people have difficulty in finding open green areas.

It also shows that income and ethnicity are huge factors, with poorer and BAME communities being disproportionately impacted; often living with dire air pollution, little in the way of green spaces and at greater risk from the impact of extreme weather.

Boroughs from across the Liverpool City Region feature prominently in the list of worst off neighbourhoods, with Liverpool and Sefton particularly affected.

The Save Rimrose Valley campaign, which is fighting controversial plans to build a road through the country park, claims that these latest findings confirm how vital the parkland is to surrounding communities.

Stuart Bennett from the group said: “This list makes for grim reading nationally, but is particularly relevant to our own situation here in Sefton.

“We know how vital access to green space is for people’s health and wellbeing and yet Highways England, instructed by the government is intent on destroying ours.

“Thankfully, organisations like Friends of the Earth are doing fantastic work like this to highlight the issue.

“We are calling on our Metro Mayor, Steve Rotheram, to acknowledge this study and to use it to push back on both the government’s and private

Rimrose Valley campaigners during a protest last year

developers’ plans to destroy green spaces across the Liverpool City Region.”

Helen Rimmer, North West campaign organiser at Friends of the Earth added: “For many of us, lockdown exposed how critical quality outdoor space and nature is for our health and wellbeing. But our research shows just how much of a distant reality that is for millions of people across England who live in nature-deprived neighbourhoods.

“The environmental destruction and social inequality Highways England’s proposed road through Rimrose Valley would cause are plain to see.

“Everyone has the right to live in a healthy environment.

“Instead of bulldozing vital green space, we are calling for the Government to use the forthcoming spending review to invest in healthy environments, including improving access to nature.

“This work must start now so that places like Rimrose Valley can be saved and enhanced.”

Wildflower turf laid as part of Crowdfunding project THE successfully completed Friends of Maghull & District (FOMD) environmental Crowdfunding project that raised more than £6,414 in 2019/20 has now laid the postponed wildflower turf at Stafford Moreton Way which represented £2,000 of its budget.

The first stage of the project was completed in November by creating three borders - by stripping out three oblong areas of turf, planting trees, bulbs, and hedging.

However the final second stage that involved laying wildflower turf, installing a recycling sculpture and noticeboard in April was postponed until now, due to the pandemic restrictions.

Consequently, in September 2020, Paul Pruden (Ashworth Head gardener) and his team (Chris, Phil, Dave) supported by FOMD, stripped out further turf from around the borders that were created in November 2019 and laid 102 m² of crowd funded wildflower turf.

The turf that they stripped out was recycled by laying it on the sparse borders and car damaged grass islands on the road side leading up to and including the medical centre car park. A lot of these areas, previously had no grass at all because they had been damaged so badly. They also managed to remove some considerable fly tipping in the brambles.

Frank Sharp from the Friends of Maghull & District, said: “Hopefully the wildflowers should provide a fantastic display in spring onwards, alongside 1,500 spring bulbs.

“The property management’s (LCP) ground maintenance subcontractors (Spacecare) have agreed to look after this area in the future.

“Our community is immensely grateful to the Ashworth Hospital Gardeners Team for honouring their invaluable support, following the April postponement, particularly during their incredibly busy work schedule. Thank you also to Allturf for the 10% discount and Barney Rubbles for the free recycled timber for the marker stakes.”

FOMD previously tidied up Stafford Moreton Way: weeded all the borders, removed vegetation from roadside gullies, edged all borders and pavements.

First time buyer, sales Purchases, remortgages Equity transfers Phil, Paul Pruden (head gardener at Ashworth hospital, Merseycare) and Dave at Stafford Moreton Way

Mr Sharp added: “For all those brilliant people still collecting plastic bottle tops for the recycling rhinoceros sculpture, there has been a slight delay due to the pandemic restrictions but we are hopeful that it should be installed in October/November.

More updates: www.spacehive.com/stafford-moreton “Please consider our latest positively supported community crowdfunding campaign to initially provide a safe and accessible natural space at Bobby ’s Wood which needs your help to achieve its last 3% (£604) of its funding target. Information and how to donate can be found at www.spacehive.com/woodend, local community survey results, Q&A, Information Sheet at http://www.maghull-tc.gov.uk/news, and contact at Woodendcwp@gmail.com “Many thanks to everyone, you have been unbelievable at such a challenging time.”

OPENING HOURS: Mon - Sat 9am - 5pm Sunday 11am - 4pm

ST JOSEPHâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S Hospice has launched an appeal in response to the fundraising challenges it continues to face due to the Covid crisis.

The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;2gether Appealâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; aims to highlight that the support of local people is vital to the future sustainability of the Thornton hospice as fundraising events continue to be cancelled.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas Ladies Day is the latest event to suffer from the restrictions currently in place on large gatherings and social distancing.

Head of fundraising, Maxine Armstrong, explained: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Together, we are managing to navigate our way through the challenging times of the Covid-19 crisis but, as we begin to look forward, we must refocus on sustaining our future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our staff have continued to provide compassionate care to some of the most vulnerable members of our community during this crisis and we are continuing to ensure that our patients with complex palliative care needs can access the care they require and deserve. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, as a charity, our income streams have been hit hard. Due to Covid-19, we had to close all our charity shops, cancel all our fundraising events and suspend all lottery canvassing and face to face collections. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All donations received through the 2Gether Appeal will go straight to work helping families deal with the suffering, confusion, doubts and fears that surround the end of a loved oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Please support our appeal and help us to sustain the future of your hospice for our community.â&#x20AC;?

Officers back campaign to stop hate crime MERSEYSIDE Police is supporting a week of action to encourage people to provide intelligence on hate crime.

It is part of National Hate Crime Awareness Week, which runs from October 10– 17.

Information from the communities of Merseyside on where such offences are hap-

pening is a vital tool in the fight to rid the streets of hate crime.

Detective Superintendent Dave McCaughrean said: “Hate crime can involve people being targeted based on their race, religion, sexuality, disability and gender identity - every person in Merseyside has the right to go about their lives without

being the target of language or criminal behaviour motivated by hate or prejudice.

“If you are aware of a repeat offender on your street, of an individual or family who are being subjected to hate, or if you see anything online or while out and about, please tell us.”

Adver tising Feature

Discover more “me time” within a caring community Safety and security One of the aspects that appeals to many Homeowners is that we can help create tailored personal care packages to suit individuals’ needs. Be it short-term support after an operation, or more regular, long-term personal care.

Together with our local care partner, we ensure a flexible solution to suit you.

During the UK lockdown, our team members shopped for our Homeowners, collected prescriptions and created ‘pop-up shops’ to provide a safe and easy way to pick up everyday essentials.

An apartment at The Sailings in Southport is far more than just a new home. Our community offers a range of 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments in a safe, secure and happy environment, with a circle of friends right on your doorstep.

Pets are welcome too We know that animals are often part of the family, so we’re always happy to welcome well-behaved pets at The Sailings.

In uncertain times, that’s more important than ever. Many of our Homeowners have told us how much it helps to have such a strong sense of community and a friendly management team on-site 24/7, 365 days a year to provide advice, assistance and moral support.

Have more fun, make more friends Enjoy the best of both worlds: a beautiful, self-contained apartment of your own; and a thriving community offering new friendships, social occasions and safe activities on your doorstep that you can dip into whenever you want to.

Enjoy relaxing in the Homeowners’ lounge, hair salon or therapy suite, or dine in the table service restaurant, with freshly prepared dishes every day.

“It’s better for both of us here. I can go cycling. Jean can walk to the shops and there are plenty of people here who she can talk to. We’ve made friends already. We should have moved years ago.” John and Jean, The Sailings in Southport

Less maintenance, more ‘me time’ When the maintenance of your house and garden become a full-time job, you can find yourself lacking the time and energy to do anything else.

Jean continues “We had a big garden and I was doing everything. I was out all afternoon and half the night. I didn’t want to be tied to the house. I wanted to go out and do things.”

At The Sailings you no longer have to worry about maintenance or mowing, leaving you to enjoy doing more of the things you love.

Award -winning approach Three of our communities have won Gold, Silver and Bronze Awards for the Best Retirement Development in the UK, at the WhatHouse? Awards. The judges recognised our unique approach to independent living, praising the fact that Homeowners don’t have to compromise on their independence, privacy and social life.

With all the time in the world, a lively social calendar, the company of friendly people and the reassurance of support when you need it, you can truly live life your way at The Sailings in Southport.

Marine 2 Tadcaster 0 A STUNNING free-kick from Josh Hmami and a strike from the impressive Mo Touray were enough to give Marine victory over Tadcaster last Saturday, writes Tom Clarke.

The Mariners went ahead after they won a free kick on the edge of the box on 34 minutes, and Hmami, who has been in great form from dead ball situations, curled the ball beyond the visitors’ goalkeeper and into the net.

Four minutes later, Welsh under-21 international Touray received the ball in a similar position to the free-kick, lost his defender with a step-over, and fired the ball past a despairing Burn for the Mariners’ quick-fire double.

Marine almost added a third on the stroke of half time when Wignall and Cummins slid in to meet a Barrigan cross but Wignall’s initial effort was saved and the referee blew for a foul on the goalkeeper.

Tadcaster pressed in the second half in search of a goal, but Marine’s defence proved resolute while Touray kept the fans entertained, continuously sitting down a host of Tadcaster defenders with his flicks and tricks.

Mo Tourey’s free kick beats the keeper.

Josh Solomon-Davies returning from injury to replaced Kenny Strickland early on in the half, before Neil Kengni and James Ellison were introduced in place of Wignall and Cummins and the Mariners held on to their lead.

Marine’s home FA Cup clash yesterday (Tuesday) against Nantwich was set to go ahead despite the opposition being under strength after four players had tested positive for coronavirus. Several players from Nantwich reported feeling unwell after their recent match against Barwell and four players subsequently tested positive for Covid-19 The match was set to go ahead after Marine were assured by Nantwich and the Football Association that the correct protocols were followed.

Bucks bolster defence with new signing BOOTLE manager Joe Doran has bolstered his defensive options with the signing of River Humphries, writes Connor O’Neill.

The centre-back has previously played in the Northern Premier League for Witton Albion and Radcliffe, and in the North West Counties

League with Runcorn Linnets and AFC Liverpool.

The Champion understands that the Bucks fought off competition from a host clubs in the Northern Premier League for Humphries’s signature, with the defender becoming Doran’s tenth summer signing. The club has

currently suspended all actvities and closed its Berry Street Garage Stadium as a result of the growing number of Covid-19 cases in the area.

As a result of the decision, the Bucks’ first team saw their first four league games of the season postponed.

MOTORS

Sorting things out after screwing them up is the really important bit!

YOU’RE welcome, if you happen to be the owner of a 1998 Rover 200 to which miraculous things have just happened. You’ve just been given a year’s fresh MOT – and you didn’t even lift a finger!

I’ve looked up said Rover and it’s no longer listed on the DVLA’s database, meaning that chances are it almost certainly ended up in a scrapyard or was broken up for spares years ago.

Yet a few weeks ago, and nearly a decade after it was last on our roads, it ended up being given a full year’s ticket, with no advisories.

What’s more, the MOT testers even managed to knock 1,500 miles off its mileage – not a bad result.

The reason why a Rover that’s been deceased for the best part of a decade ended up getting a fresh ticket is because said certificate was actually meant for my own daily driver – a Toyota Avensis, which apart from being manufactured in the same year has absolutely nothing in common with the hatchback family hack from Longbridge.

Oh, except the registration number. Which, as it

turned out, is a single digit different from the Rover ’s and had been inputted incorrectly into the MoT tester’s computer.

Luckily, I spotted the garage’s error a couple of days later - in fact, had COVID-19 not reduced my four-wheeled outings to the bare minimum and left the Avensis, MOT paperwork still in the glovebox, consigned to the driveway.

The chaps at the garage admitted the error in inadvertently giving someone else’s old Rover a free MOT, but because all of the MOT passes, fails and advisories are all linked up to a centrally run computer operated by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency, the only way to rectify it was to book the Toyota in for another MOT inspection.

Thank goodness it passed second time, too!

It’s an honest human error which the chaps at the testing station apologised for the instant I rang them up and once it was back in the garage, the car, correct registration number intact, was legally back on the road - but it just goes to show that the DVLA, the DVSA and all the other government-run initials responsible for keeping our millions of motor cars in order aren’t run by HALesque supercomputers, tended to by boffins with PHDs and MENSA membership cards; they’re run by completely normal human beings, who rely on other human beings to input things correctly.

Humans, as my IT teacher at school was forever telling me, make mistakes. Lots of them, as it turns out.

I’m forever being told about them on the day job at Classic Car Weekly – people who have been fined for breaking rules that old cars are exempt from, normally – but the thing I always have to

A 22-year-old Rover somewhere has accidentally been given a new MoT

remember is that there isn’t some evil organisation in Whitehall somewhere determined to make motorists’ lives hell. It’s always certainly down to the equivalent of someone pressing the wrong button on the washing machine, and then discovering all their T-shirts are two sizes too small.

People screw things up all the time – it’s the

First ever all-electric Mazda will arrive in its showrooms in March

sorting things out afterwards that’s the important bit.

Then again, if it gives someone’s old Rover 200 a free MOT, it can’t be all bad…

David Simister is the editor of Classic Car Weekly

MAZDA’S first ever all-electric model will arrive in its showrooms across the North West next March.

The MX-30 uses an AC synchronous electric motor and a 35.5kWh lithium-ion battery rather than a conventional engine, which its maker says will give it a range of 124 miles and can be charged to

80 per cent of its full charge in 36 minutes.

Prices for the range will start at £25,545, with a more luxurious introductory version, called the First Edition, costing £27,495.

The MX-30 is available to preorder now, with three trim levels to choose from.
