Dear Friends, Hello and a great big welcome as usual to the June edition. This month we celebrate Father’s Day on June 21st, so take note and spoil your Dad on this special day with a gift or breakfast / lunch / dinner out; it will be appreciated I’m sure. Les Harris Jewellers have some lovely gift ideas, p11.

This month in pictures...

Frodsham’s Charity Music Festival takes place on the 13th June with 8 great live bands outdoors (indoors if the weather is bad) at the Mersey View. And The White Lion in Alvanley is holding their Charity Beer Festival and Family Fun Day on June 27th from 1pm. Both of theses are always superb events and raise funds for local charities. Looking ahead to July.... Frodsham Summer Festival is at Saltworks Field 10th-12th July, so make sure that’s in your diary. Free to attend except 10th July China Crisis headlining act, which is £10 per person, contact Sonia for tickets: 07976 378391. More information is on the community pages. Year 11 girls, if you are planning for the Prom then Serenity in Helsby have several Prom packages on offer to make you the ‘belle of the ball’.... have a fabulous time. I hope that you enjoy all of the other articles, quizzes and adverts that I have for you this month, so until next time...

Hobbies A Hobby That’s Worth Droning On About By Kate McLelland Drones are much in the news these days: whether it’s shooting a spectacular wildlife image or zooming too close to a passenger plane, these popular flying machines have had their share of good and bad press reports. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) may be the latest gadget-of-choice but pilotless flying vehicles have a long and surprising history. In 1849 the Austrians launched a largely unsuccessful unmanned bomb attack on Venice, using balloons (planes were yet to be invented) and unmanned torpedos also played a part in the First World War. The first remote-controlled pilotless aircraft was invented in 1935 and World War II saw the use of UAVs on both sides, but when the US Air Force lost over 5,000 airmen in the Vietnam War, drones began to be used extensively. They undoubtedly saved further loss of life but these large, expensive, jet-powered craft proved hard to recover and many were lost during operations. If you are thinking of buying one for yourself or a family member, be warned, as you can incur some pretty hefty

penalties if you let your drone infringe airspace regulations. The Air Navigation Order states that no unmanned craft can be flown within 50 metres of a person, vehicle or building – unless the people, vehicles or buildings in question are “under your control”. That means even that flying a drone in your own back garden is not permitted unless your neighbour’s property is at least 50m away. If you’re in a public space, such as a park, you are not allowed to fly within 150m of any “congested area” and you must avoid filming in places such as sports fields where crowds are gathered. Even though you may be able to receive live, streamed video from the drone’s location, you should not let it stray out of your line of sight. Businesses that want to use a drone for commercial purposes must apply for a permit from the Civil Aviation Authority before they attempt a flight close to people or property. A number of recreational users have already been convicted for offences that include flying too close to the rides at Alton Towers and photographing Devonshire landscapes without the landowner’s consent. It

cost one man over £4,000 in fines and court fees when his UAV flew near a road bridge and over a nuclear installation. If you’re still keen to own a drone you can pick up a flyonly model from under £30. A more advanced device, which lets you steer from a smartphone or tablet while a camera streams live images or records video footage, will cost around £250-£300. As long as the rules and regulations are observed, you’ll get hours of enjoyment from flying these clever little gadgets, but do set aside some time to master the techniques you’ll need before you attempt that perfect bird’s eye view shot. Here are some basic rules to follow while you are learning: avoid windy conditions and operate the drone in a park or grassy field well away from people, animals and parked cars. Turn off your mobile phone and try not to let other distractions affect your concentration. With a bit of practice, you’ll soon be flying like a pro, but just remember: if your expensive UAV ends up in a tree, just don’t go droning on about it…

Short Story Boat Number Six Barney secured the last of the pedalos, and gazed with satisfaction out over the boating lake. The ducks were returning to Smuggler’s Island and the water was as still as a tea tray. After four years as first mate, Barney had finally been trusted to take charge. This morning, Mr Vaughn, better known as Captain, handed over the cash tin. Muttering something about a trial run, possible partnership and avoid using boat number six, he’d staggered off for an all day meeting at the Dolphin. And what a busy day it had been. The late morning sun had scorched off the clouds and by midday a queue of holiday makers had stretched along the jetty. All he had to do now was lock the shed. He opened the door and noticed two flowery beach bags hanging on the peg. Barney’s heart sank. Customers must have given them to him to take care of, and he’d neglected to return them. Captain would grumble, but it might be overlooked considering the weight of the cash tin.

‘We are sailing’ before eventually disappearing around the side of Smuggler’s Island. He also remembered that he had put them in boat number six. A canary yellow two-seater pedalo, boat number six had been patched up more times than he’d had chip suppers. Captain had retired her at the end of last season. But Barney had wanted impressive takings and that meant putting every vessel to work. With a curious feeling of dread Barney studied the pedalos sitting calmly on the darkening water. As instructed he had lined them up numerically. There was boat number five, and next to it boat number seven. Boat number six was not in position. He quickly counted the boats, and counted them again. He counted them slowly just to be certain. Boat number six was missing. On his first day in charge not only had Barney lost a vessel, he had also lost its crew. He dreaded the thought of a humiliating all night lake dredging. It was deep in places, but just how deep Barney had hoped never to find out.

He then remembered the customers. How could he forget them? With supreme lack of coordination, and fits of giggles, that pair of elderly ladies had climbed aboard their He glanced at his watch. He pedalo. He was amazed they was expected in the Dolphin didn’t get a dipping. Following in ten minutes, but there was that fiasco, they had pedalled still time. He un-tethered a little around in Please circles singing boat.when With determined mention Helsbyrowing to Hand responding to

strokes he rowed out onto the lake. The ducks quacked with annoyance. The water was worryingly still. Then he heard a sound like a rusty saw. Backwards and forwards it went, slowly, deliberately, like someone lazily sawing wood for the fire. It appeared to be coming from the bulrushes along the banks of Smugglers Island. He peered into the reeds and saw a flash of yellow. It had to be boat number six, but where was its crew? “Ahoy there!” Barney called nervously. The sawing ended abruptly. “Is anyone aboard?” “Hello?” a shaky voice replied, “wake up Gert, we must have nodded off”. In the shadows the ladies rubbed their eyes and began to stand. “I don’t want to alarm you but you’re in a pedalo”, Barney called. “I’d advise you to sit tight”. It was with great relief that Barney towed boat number six home on her final ever voyage. All the while the ladies serenaded him with ‘We are sailing’ in booming carefree voices. Barney smiled, and joined in with the chorus. by Jackie17 Brewster adverts

Beauty and the Beach by Kate Duggan www.kateduggan.co.uk

Whether you’re planning a staycation, or a round the world trip, camping or a five-star hotel stay, read on for our pick of summer beauty essentials. For many of us, slapping on foundation is the last thing we fancy doing on a summer’s day. But if you still want some coverage, try a Blemish Balm (BB). Similar to a tinted moisturiser, but with added benefits, a BB cream hydrates and primes your skin, while helping to even out your complexion. Pacifica Alight Multi Mineral BB Cream is a steal at just £16.99 from www. naturisimo.com. It’s perfect for creating that fresh-faced glow.

You need to protect your skin from the sun all year around, but it’s even more vital in the warmer months. If you suffer from eczema, psoriasis or other skin complaints, you may want to opt for a natural sunscreen, that’s less likely to irritate your skin. Neal’s Yard Remedies Chamomile & Aloe Vera Moisturising Sun Lotion gets our vote. It’s 100% natural, has an SPF of 25, and offers both UVA and UVB protection. Usually, it’s best to buy a separate facial sun cream, as most body creams are quite greasy, leading to spots and skin irritation. However, this lotion is gentle enough to be used all over, and is packed with nourishing ingredients, such as shea and coconut oils. Ah the joys of trying to fit all of your make-up and toiletries into your suitcase. Travel sized versions of your favourite toiletries can be much more expensive, per millilitre, than their big sisters. A cheaper option is to invest in some refillable bottles. Do make sure that at least some of them are under 100ml, if you want to keep them in your hand luggage when flying. Some sets even come complete with a see through bag, so there’s no faffing around for a plastic bag at the airport check-in. We like The Body Shop’s Travel Kit, £7, which has three bottles, two jars and a handy spatula.

Bobbi Brown’s Shimmer Bricks are a bit of a cult favourite, and the Miniatures are, new Brightening however, a great way to try new skincare Bricks (£34) look ranges without forking out for a full sized set to become just product that might not suit your skin.

Outdoor Cooking Human beings have been cooking things over outdoor fires since we first worked out how to catch and cook woolly mammoths, but while the basics of barbecuing haven’t changed the tools we use have. Today there is a whole range of gadgets for outdoor entertaining, from handy barbecue tools to speakers that can get your favourite tunes wherever and whenever you want to have a party. If you’ve ever wrestled with charcoal in a chimney starter, the £44 BBQ Dragon Fire Supercharger is going to delight you. It’s a battery powered air jet that gives a constant flow of air to your fire, enabling you to get cooking without fire lighters or fluid. It works with fire pits, charcoal barbecues, campfires and anything else that involves setting things on fire. Technology has also reinvented the humble lighter. The Looftlighter (around £60) lights barbecues without fluids or gas by blasting a 1,256 degrees Fahrenheit airstream at the coals. That power isn’t portable - the Looftlighter needs to be plugged into the mains - but the 10-foot cord means you don’t need to wheel the barbecue to the back door to get your grill started. In a nice touch. some models also Please mention Helsby

include bottle openers in the handle so you don’t need to leave the barbecue to open your beer. Unfortunately for many garden-grill guests, barbecue season is also peak food poisoning season. If you know a chef who’s a bit of a health hazard, a wireless Bluetooth thermometer could save your stomach: the clever Bresser Bluetooth BBQ Thermometer communicates with a smartphone to tell you when meat is cooked to perfection. It works without a phone too thanks to an externally mounted display, and at £39.99 it isn’t particularly expensive. If you’re a fan of late-night cooking, technology can help with that too: for around £15, you can get an LED-powered barbecue light that enables you to see what you’re doing even when it’s starting to get dark. Touch sensitive controls means you won’t find yourself fumbling for the switch, and because LEDs use hardly any energy you can expect around 20 hours of light from a single set of AA batteries.

ends up in a mess. If you’d rather not spend valuable summer time on cleaning, a robot can help. The Grillbot (from around £93 to £143) claims to be the world’s first automatic grill cleaning robot and promises one-button operation. Just make sure the grill’s cold before you stick a robot on it. If you’d like a soundtrack to your searing, portable Bluetooth speakers are wonderful things: they connect to your smartphone or tablet, can go almost anywhere and deliver surprisingly good sound. We particularly like the Bose SoundLink Mini, but at £169 it’s quite pricey: perfectly decent speakers such as Creative’s D80 are available for around £33. Money no object? Then you should check out Naim’s incredibly good and incredibly expensive Mu-So Wireless Music System, a steal at £895. It isn’t cheap, but listening to it is like having your ears licked by angels - and with six 75-watt digital amplifiers, those angels are very loud angels indeed. Images left to right: Looftlighter

Home & Interiors The Kings of Bling

The French kings of the 17th and 18th centuries had enormous influence on aristocratic interiors. For elegance, luxury and splendour, look no further than the styles of Louis XIV, XV and XVI, writes Katherine Sorrell The year: 1681. The place: the royal court in France. And, according to King Louis XIV who had assumed power two years earlier: ‘There is nothing that indicates more clearly the magnificence of great princes than their superb palaces and their precious furniture.’ The king was inspired to adapt a small hunting lodge just outside Paris, extend it, and fill it with splendid decoration and furnishings, all in order to glorify his monarchy. Its style was the most up-to-date possible, a new fashion known as Baroque - dramatically dazzling and opulent, epitomised by jewellike colours, large furniture in bulbous shapes, trompe l’oeil paintwork and glittering silver, gold and crystal. The new palace was called Versailles. The interior of Versailles was filled with furniture made in specialist workshops by the finest native and foreign artisans. Pieces were carved and gilded in heavy, scrolling

shapes, upholstered with velvet and brocade, and inlaid with exotic materials such as marble, silver, ivory, lapis lazuli and agate. There were fabrics woven with silver or gold thread, lavish rugs and walls hung with tapestries or covered in marble or mirror. Perhaps most extreme of all was the specially commissioned furniture and lighting made of silver. It was utterly magnificent. Fashions are forever changing however, and by the turn of the 18th century Louis XIV was urging a ‘graceful and airy’ style on his granddaughter-in-law. After his death in 1715 the court moved to Paris, where a less ceremonial lifestyle developed, with smaller rooms and lighter furniture. Known as Rococo, it was frivolous and exuberant, all delicate curves and asymmetrical lines while, overall, homes were arranged to be comfortable rather than impressive, colours and patterns soft and feminine. The typical Rococo home featured elaborate plasterwork and carved, painted and gilded wooden panels, walls hung with imported silk or hand-painted wallpapers, all reflected in ornamental mirrors. Furniture often had a curving front and – most typically of all – cabriole legs. Also known as Louis Quinze style, Rococo was at its height

in France in the 1740s. Within a decade or so, however, a move towards simplicity, combined with a revival of classical forms gave rise to another new look. In England, it was known as neo-classical; in France, Louis Seize. By the time Louis XVI ascended the throne in 1774 this style was dominant, and he and his wife Marie Antoinette were keen patrons. While luxury and elegance were still key, somewhat plainer, even geometric designs replaced elaborate decorations, while straight lines and symmetry took over from curves and arabesques. Key pieces included chairs with horseshoe-shaped backs and tapering, column-shaped legs, striped fabrics and wallpapers, and elaborate window treatments featuring swags and tails. Furniture was grouped sociably rather than placed around the edges of the room, and even featured comfortable, sprung-cushioned upholstery. Louis Seize style could be summed up by two words: expensive simplicity. But it was not to last. In 1793 Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette were guillotined. Two years later, the French revolutionary government was established, the Directory, lending its name to the final phase of neoclassicism: Directoire style, sparse, simple and notable for its lack of ornamentation. It was the end of the Louis era, but these remarkable styles have influenced and inspired us ever since.

And Another Thing... by Tom Hughes

My Sunday morning began like any other. Settled into my favourite chair with my brew, a slice of freshly buttered toast and two episodes of Broadchurch on catch-up, I was just about to take my first sip of tea when in walked Sarah, closely followed by Hannah and Emily.

disappearing, I want you all to know that from now on I promise to share the value pack with everyone else.”

Sarah, wearing a benevolent, concerned expression on her face gently relieved me of my steaming mug, sat me down and said,

“We are gathered here today Tom to tell you that, well, you are a bit of a scruff.”

A confused silence descended. The three women in my life all stared at each other. Chocolate Eggs it seemed, were not the issue. Sarah pressed on.

“A what?”

“Tom, What we are about to say is said out of love and concern, nothing else.”

Next to pipe up was Hannah.

Then I realised what was happening, it was a family intervention! But an intervention about what? Was my customary Friday night pint of mild down the Paraffin Lamp getting out of hand? Was my chocolate habit becoming a cause for concern? What could it be? I decided to confront the issue head on.

“What’s wrong with them?”

“Yes Dad, look at that jumper, look at those jeans?” “Dad, who wears hiking socks, walking shoes and a snood to the gym?” “Yes Tom, the girls are embarrassed. Their friends are talking about you. You need a new wardrobe, urgently”, said Sarah. “Well ok, I’ll go through my stuff and - “

dismay, produced a black bin liner full of my precious old clothes. Sweatshirts, jeans and - horror of horrors - my Bruce Springsteen 2005 tour t-shirt. “Not the Boss! Please?” “No Tom, this lot is off to the charity shop in the precinct. Now, grab your coat and let’s go shopping! Err, on second thoughts, leave the coat, let’s just go.” In the vast outlet clothes store I wandered aimlessly around, fingering the rails without a clue what I was doing. Eventually I held up a pair of jeans with the very pleasing price tag of £24.99. “Sarah, what about these?” Sarah examined my choice. “You haven’t just grabbed the cheapest have you?” “Not at all.” “Right put them back and go try on these.”

I examined the pair picked by Sarah. To my untrained eye, “Too late, we’ve done it for “Listen, if anyone is wondering they looked identical to the you.” Then Sarah, to my why all66 the cream eggs keep call: To advertise 01928 727 165 much or email: helsbytohand@btinternet.com


jeans I’d just chosen. Identical that is, except for the price. Sarah’s were fifty pounds dearer. “Why would I pay seventyfive pounds for something I can get for-twenty five, I just don’t…” Grabbing the seat of the expensive jeans, Sarah pointed to a yellow logo stitched onto the rear pocket. “Look! That’s why. They are designer.” “So, they sew a little squiggle onto the pocket and they charge you treble the price? Are you being serious?” The look from Sarah told me that yes, she was indeed being deadly serious. She picked out another pair from the rack, handed both of them over and pointed in

the direction of the changing rooms. I sloped away to the curtained-off area where a glum-faced child handed me an orange circle on which was printed a number two. I battled with the first pair for what seemed like an age. Eventually I gave up, deciding that in the words of my Auntie Joyce they “Wouldn’t go near me.” The second pair I actually managed to heave myself into. And a more uncomfortable pair of pants I couldn’t imagine. Baggy round the crotch and barely covering the posterior, I assumed that this particular “Designer” - in his hurry to stitch on the magic money squiggle, had stamped them with the wrong size.

Sarah, shaking her head in defeat, flung back at me the cheap pair I had originally chosen. I tried them on right there in the store. Of course, they fitted perfectly. Eye rolls from Sarah, a triumphant beam from her husband. The next day Sarah arrived home from work to find me wearing the new jeans and another, different purchase. “Tom! What are you doing wearing that tatty old Bruce Springsteen T-shirt? I thought I gave that thing away?” “It’s very simple darling, yesterday afternoon, decided to go to the charity shop and do my bit for cancer research...”

Outside, I informed Sarah of the manufacturer’s error.

Saving for Children What are the Best Options? By Ann Haldon

Children’s savings accounts provide a great way to build a nest egg for later life, perhaps for driving lessons or to fund a gap year, and are a good way to introduce the subject of money management. We look at three savings options below that could be ideal for your child. These are products that incorporate a range of features and benefits, including tax-free status, instant access, and longer savings terms. So let’s start with a product that was first introduced in 2011:

Junior ISAs

parents or guardians can open and manage them, the money belongs to the child. Withdrawals by children are not allowed until they turn 18, but they can manage their own accounts when they reach 16 years of age. The Junior ISA will be in the child’s name, but parents and guardians opening the account are the ‘registered contacts’ as far as the bank or building society is concerned.

NS&I Children’s Bonds

These are tax-free investments that run for a 5-year term. They can be purchased by a parent, guardian, grandparent or great grandparent on behalf of a child, and each ‘issue’ has its own guaranteed rate of interest which is paid at the end of the term. The minimum investment amount for these Bonds is £25, with £3,000 being the maximum amount allowed per issue. Interest is calculated daily and added to the account each year, so that the child also benefits from compound interest.

Junior ISAs are available to children under the age of 18 who don’t already have a Child Trust Fund. New legislation has recently been introduced to allow the transfer of monies from a Child Trust Fund into a Junior ISA, however, and this change took effect from April 2015. The contribution limit for a Junior ISA is £4,080 for the 2015-16 tax year, and there are two types of account available: • Cash Junior ISA: offering Children’s Savings tax-free interest and instant Accounts access These types of account can • Stocks and Shares Junior be opened with as little as £1, ISA: cash is invested in stocks with most bank and building and shares, with no tax paid societies offering at least one on dividends or capital growth savings account for children. Children are entitled to In most cases money can be open one of each of these withdrawn with no notice. accounts,Please and although a child reaches the mention Helsby Once to Hand when responding to

age of seven they may be able to manage the account themselves, which is a great way for them to learn how to deal with their money. There are two different types of children’s savings accounts, and you can open more than one: • Easy access: the interest rate will probably be lower with an easy or instant access account, but money can be withdrawn or deposited with no restrictions. These accounts are popular with children as many of them offer free gifts, including piggy banks and toys. • Regular savings: interest rates will be slightly higher for this type of account, but money is not accessible and you need to make regular monthly deposits into the account. If any payments are missed you may suffer a reduction of interest. Which savings account you choose for your child depends on your own circumstances. The Junior ISA has proven to be very popular, and the new legislation regarding transfer of monies from a Child Trust Fund to a Junior ISA opens up the product to more people. https://www.gov.uk/juniorindividual-savings-accounts/ open-an-account http://www.nsandi.com/

Motoring Top 5 Eco Cars

By James Baggott @CarDealerEd

As the costs to run our beloved petrol- and diesel-powered cars increase, it’s no wonder we’re all on the hunt for an alternative solution. With electric and hybrid powertrains driving some of the industry’s most esteemed supercars – the new Honda NSX and BMW i8 – it would appear that there is another way forward. But if eco is at the forefront of your mind, which car should you have on your driveway? Here are our choices.

Ford Fiesta

The Fiesta is the best selling car on the market – and not without good reason. Although it’s not labelled an official ‘eco’ car, its low running costs make it the ideal cost-effective solution for most buyers. Choose the 1.4-litre TDCi, priced from £13,065, and you can expect an average mileage of 68mpg and emissions of 107g/km.

Fiat 500

The Fiat 500 completes the ‘Thee Musketeers’ line-up, alongside the Mini and VW Beetle, as one of today’s most stylish cars. Running a 1.2-litre engine, the 500 TwinAir can achieve 49.6 urban mpg and dodges road tax by emitting just 95g/km of CO2. The TwinAir is priced from £12,715 and is the perfect city run around.

BMW i3

BMW’s futuristic i3 is one of just a few cars that has revolutionised the way we view the future of motoring. Not only does it combine eco-friendly driving with premium qualities, it can also reach 93mph, can go from 0-60mph in 7.9 seconds and has a driving range of 106 miles, thanks to its on-board petrol motor, which works alongside a 127kW electric unit. Sadly, its £29,130 price means we don’t see many of them on the road.

Volkswagen E-Up!

The E-Up! is one of the most practical and reasonably-priced electric cars on the market, with five doors and an estimated driving range of 93 miles. It takes six hours to recharge and has a comfortable top speed of 81mph. The price isn’t so attractive at £19,525, but this electric motor is close to feeling more like the average supermini.

Renault Twizy

Renault’s Twizy is just as fun as it looks. It may be the slowest of the pack, with a top speed of just 56mph, but it’s guaranteed to provide you with the most entertainment. Priced at £7,795, its 15kW battery takes four hours to charge, it has a driving range of 62 miles and emits zero emissions. And just look at its 83 Please mention Helsbystyling! to Hand when responding to adverts

Cake and Bake Vanilla and Chocolate Panna Cotta This velvety smooth, vanilla flavoured Italian set cream is simple to make but tastes divine. For a less rich dessert replace half the double cream with full-fat milk.

Ingredients: • 600ml double cream • 2 tsp vanilla extract • 2 pared strips of lemon rind • 55g caster sugar • 1 x 12g sachet powdered gelatine • 50g good quality dark chocolate, finely grated • Chocolate dipped strawberries, to serve (see TIP)

Serves 4 Ready in 30 mins, plus cooling and setting time

90

1. Place the cream, vanilla extract, lemon rind and caster sugar in a pan and bring slowly to the boil. Remove from the heat. 2. Meanwhile place 4 tbsp of boiling water in a small heatproof cup or jug and sprinkle over the powdered gelatine. Leave for a few minutes until spongy then stir until dissolved. If the gelatine doesn’t completely dissolve, heat in the microwave on Full Power for a few seconds or sit the cup or jug in a pan of gently simmering water and stir until completely clear. Leave to cool for 10 minutes. 3. Stir a little of the hot cream into the gelatine mixture then stir back into the rest of the cream. Leave the mixture to cool for 30 minutes. Remove the strips of lemon rind and pour the mixture into four individual 150ml pudding basins. Place on a tray and chill in the fridge for 6 hours or overnight until set. 4.To serve, dip each pudding basin into a bowl of hot water for a few seconds then turn out onto a serving plate. Sprinkle the grated chocolate over each panna cotta and decorate with a sprig of mint or lemon balm. Serve with the chocolate dipped strawberries.

TIP

To make the chocolate dipped strawberries, pick firm ripe strawberries and use a good quality dark chocolate (one with at least 50% cocoa solids). Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Remove the bowl from the heat and stir until smooth. Holding each strawberry by the green calyx, dip into the melted chocolate then shake to allow the excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. Place the dipped strawberries onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper and leave in a cool place until the chocolate has set. Serve on day of dipping.

Housebuilder takes safety message to school With the long school holidays approaching there was no better time for a Health and Safety Road Show to visit Horn’s Mill Primary School in Helsby The school is located close to the new housing development, ‘Mere’s Edge’ on Cable Drive. With building work continuing at this busy Lancet Homes development there was a valuable health and safety message for the children. By the end of the presentation all the children understood that if grown-ups need so much protective clothing, head wear and training to work on a building site, then building sites are definitely no place for children. Head Teacher, Sharon Wyatt said: “This is an excellent initiative and although the presentation was fun and very enjoyable, the central health and safety message to ‘Play it Safe’ was well received and understood.” Taking action... The Health & Safety Executive encourages parents to warn their children of the dangers of playing on building sites. In 2008/09 one child died and 25 were seriously injured on construction sites. Many more children are injured on construction sites every year.
