Warings Solicitors becomes Fylde Law

As many of us at some point in our lifetime are likely to need the services and support of a helpful, reliable and competent lawyer, Fylde Law take pride in making things as stress-free and easy to understand as they can, ensuring that our clients know what is going on at every stage of the legal process.”

Fylde Law is the new name for the recently merged firms of Warings Solicitors, Atkinson Cave & Stuart, Blackledge & Co and Ashley Fisher & Co, who cumulatively have provided over 150 years of legal advice on the Fylde. It also incorporates the old Fylde solicitors firms of Cameron and Ball and Baker, Hoyle and Lees.

Mary Lowe, Family and Probate Solicitor says “as solicitors we understand that legal matters can be highly complex and worrying and that many clients have personal and delicate issues that need handling with the utmost sensitivity and diligence. This is why each client is appointed a named solicitor with the relevant experience to manage their case from start to finish and provide a level of support that client needs. We believe this is the type of law firm people want to use.”

----------------------------

Although a new name, the same traditional values on which all four firms were founded – those of honesty and integrity, professionalism and doing the best for each and every client, still remain at the heart of everything they do.

Gary McAnulty, a Director and Criminal Solicitor with the firm comments “the recent mergers and the decision to launch and operate under a new name marks an exciting and important time for the firm. We are committed to our roots and the history of service we have provided to the people of the Fylde over the last century and a half and look forward to delivering the same quality of service and advice as we have always done.

With offices in Blackpool and Lytham St. Annes, Fylde Law is dedicated to providing local people and businesses with access to expert legal knowledge experience and advice without the exasperating legal jargon and formality that often goes with it.

Blackpool News

Blackpool prepares for free school meals for primary pupils Bispham Endowed Church of England Primary School has been under the national spotlight as it showcased its delivery of the free breakfast scheme.

Myles Bremner from the School Food Trust with headteacher Jo Hirst and Bispham Endowed pupils

All primary school headteachers have recently received a letter from the Government confirming they will be funding free school meals for all pupils in reception, year 1 and year 2 classes from September 2014.

Myles Bremner, from the School Food Plan, visited Bispham Endowed Primary School to see how their catering services team were preparing for an increase in the number of meals they deliver. The School Food Plan was published

by Government last year and lays out specific actions that will transform what children eat in school and how they learn about food. In January 2013 Blackpool Council introduced universal free breakfasts for its 12,000 primary school children.

adds to this. Many people have suggested that the free breakfast scheme should not be universal but we don’t feel that any child should miss out because of their parents’ income. I look forward to working with our schools as they prepare to introduce the scheme.’

Myles Bremner said of the Blackpool scheme: ‘All primary school children in Blackpool can come to school, have a free breakfast and be ready to learn. The benefits of universal free school meals are clear – eating well and eating together improves the attainment, behaviour and culture of a school. It also tackles vital health inequalities.

I saw this first hand in Blackpool today. With the introduction of universal infant free school lunches, we can be confident that all Blackpool’s children will have the best possible start to This scheme has been running for over a year now so Myles Bremner came to witness first hand happy, healthy lives.’ how a large scale free school meal programme was delivered. He also wanted to see the benefits Mrs Jo Hirst, Headteacher, said: ‘We were very that it has brought to the school. happy to welcome Myles Bremner to our school to experience the ‘Blackpool Breakfast’ at first hand. During his tour of the school Myles was Cllr Sarah Riding, cabinet member with responsibility for school catering, said: ‘Thanks to very interested in listening to the views of our the school breakfast scheme our school catering children and our staff. It was also good to hear about the work of the School Food Trust and to teams are already well prepared in catering for entire year groups. Research has shown that that share with him our plans for the new ‘free school meals’ initiative for our infant children from this breakfast scheme can contribute to reducing health inequalities among our young resident and September.’

I hope the proposed free lunchtime meal initiative

BISPHAM JUNIOR FOOTBALL FEDERATION BJFF – Dates for Diaries for 2014

BJFF have agreed a programme of fund-raising and social events for 2014, which will culminate in our 45th Anniversary Charity Dinner Dance.

Thursday 17th April (venue to be confirmed) – Race Night and Grand Easter Raffle Draw (tickets on sale now) Saturday 31st May – Annual Girls Football Tournament (over 100 all girls teams visiting BJFF) Sunday 1st June – Hosting the End of Season Poulton & District Primary League Festival (70 – 80 teams visiting) Sunday 8th June – Annual Presentation of Awards Ceremony at the De Vere Hotel (U4’s to U12’s age groups) Sunday 15th June – Annual Presentation of Awards Ceremony at the De Vere Hotel (U13’s and above age groups)

BJFF – Poulton Primary League Review

Unfortunately, there have been very few games played since the New Year, with the weather hitting the pitches hard. Some teams have managed 2 or 3 games, and here we chart the progress of all U9’s to U12’s Saturday teams.

Under 9’s – Our Blades won through to the SemiFinals of the P&DPL Cup, where they will face YMCA away on 1st March, following an excellent 9-2 aggregate win over Thornton Cleveleys. In the P&DPL Plate, our Predators are also through to the Semi-Final stage, a 7-1 aggregate win against South Shore setting up a Semi-Final tie away to Spirit of Youth. Our Vipers are a round behind, and are due to play Fleetwood Gym at Home in the Quarter Finals on 15th Feb. Under 10’s – In the Cup Quarter-Final, our Blades and Predators were drawn to play each other, and in a fantastic couple of games, the Blades ran out 5-3 aggregate winners following a first game 3-1 win, and a thrilling 2-2 draw in the second game, a superb performance from our Predators showing their vast improvement. In the Semi-Final, our Blades, winners of the competition last year, face Foxhall away on 1st March. In league action, our Blades have 4 games remaining and in a twohorse race at the top it looks a second consecutive A Division Runners-Up finish, but 12 points from their remaining games will keep the pressure on

24

their title rivals. In the B Division, our Predators currently sit in 3rd place with 8 games remaining, and also have their eyes set on a Runners-Up spot.

Under 11’s – BJFF enter the Quarter Finals stage of the Coulton Cup with an incredible 3 representatives still in the competition. Our Blades defeated Poulton Town Panthers 6-0, and will play the winner of the Poulton Youth / AFC Blackpool tie. Our Vipers Whites ran out 4-0 winners against Foxhall Hoops, and will play Spirit of Youth Yellows. Best performance of the season from our C Division Vipers Blues saw them overcome A Division Thornton Cleveleys with a thrilling 3-2 victory which sees them face A Division Fleetwood Town or B Division St Annes in the Quarter Finals.

In the P&DPL Plate, our Vipers Reds bowed out with a narrow 0-1 defeat against Spirit of Youth Blues. In league action, our Blades (reigning Champions) are 7 points clear in the A Division with 6 games remaining. Our Vipers Whites are 3rd in the B Division, but can go top if they win their game in hand in what will be a three-way fight for the title. Our Vipers Blues are 4th but aiming to finish 3rd in the C Division, whilst our Vipers Reds look to consolidate with a 7th place finish their target.

Under 12’s – Our Blades, reigning Cup Champions, are through to the Semi-Finals, where they will face Poulton Town Blacks or Layton Lions. In league action, the top 5 teams at Xmas have now formed a mini A Division, and all are still in the hunt for the title with 7 games remaining.

Our Predators Whites remain in contention for the Coulton Plate, with a Home Quarter-Final tie against Warton Typhoons Blues to look forward to on 22nd Feb. In league action, our Predators Whites currently lie 7th of 9 teams in the B Division with 7 games remaining.

Have You Thought About Being A Neighbourhood Watch Coordinator?

Neighbourhood Watch, along with a host of other Watch Schemes that the Police has created, brings a community together with the same goal in mind – to help make a particular area a better place to live; people watch out for each other and tell the Police if they suspect a crime is taking place or there are circumstances that may lead to a crime – such as suspicious people or vehicles driving around the neighbourhood.

A Watch scheme is a citizen-organised system of policing in a particular community or environment to prevent crime and disorder. Being a Neighbourhood Watch Coordinator is not a difficult or time-consuming task – in fact, you decide the number of homes you wish to include in your Watch scheme.

So, you may ask, how do I go about becoming a Neighbourhood Watch Coordinator? You either

New partnership set up to help bus punctuality and reliability

A new problem solving task force has been set up to help improve bus punctuality in Blackpool.

The Punctuality Improvement Partnership (PIP for short) will be charged with identifying hotspots and problems which prevent buses from staying on schedule and coming up with plans to tackle them. The group will comprise of staff from both Blackpool Council and Blackpool Transport and other agencies, like emergency services, other councils and VOSA, will also be consulted when it is necessary. Similar partnerships have worked effectively in other areas of the country.

Cllr John Jones, Blackpool Council’s cabinet member for highways and transport, said ‘Ensuring that buses run consistently, reliably and on time is the number one priority for bus users Developing a task force to proactively identify hotspots is great news for passengers and for the town in general. Creating a high quality 26

transport service is a key priority for growth too and this will help us to do so. The PIP group will meet regularly and will also be a key forum for listening to public feedback and discussing how to improve the service for customers.’

And Bob Mason from Blackpool Transport, said ‘Punctuality, reliability and safety are the most important part of any public transport operation and we hope, by working together more effectively, we can continue to improve on all these important issues. We have been in discussions with officers from the council and Vehicle Operations Standards Agency (VOSA) for some time and we look forward to seeing some positive results which will assist in getting buses moving from A to B in a more timely manner in Blackpool.’

Blackpool News It’s Time To Take On Cancer As Race For Life 2014 Launches In Blackpool Blackpool women are being urged to join forces and show cancer who’s boss by signing up to Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life 2014 which is now open for entries.

Every day, more than 100 people are diagnosed with cancer in the North West.* Everyone is special, everyone is somebody’s mum, dad, brother, sister, friend or colleague. And that’s why Cancer Research UK is calling on Blackpool women of all ages, shapes and sizes, to defy this dreadful disease by entering Race for Life 5k event at Blackpool Promenade on Wednesday, July 9.

Event organisers are issuing the rallying cry ‘cancer, we’re coming to get you’ and urging women to sign up as soon as possible. Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life, in partnership with Tesco, is an inspiring women-only series of 5k events which raise millions of pounds every year to help defeat cancer by funding life-saving research.

Liz Booth, Cancer Research UK’s Blackpool Events Manager, said: ‘We’re calling on Blackpool’s mighty-mums, gutsy-grans, feisty friends and go-getting girls to join our formidable army and take on cancer at this year’s Race for Life. We know how committed Blackpool women can be when they really make up their minds to do something. We want to harness that power to stop cancer in its tracks, by raising money for life-saving research. Race for Life is non-competitive. It’s not about being fit or fast.

Most women are able to walk 5k in an hour while chatting and having fun. Or they can choose to jog, run or even dance around the course if they

34

prefer.’

Everyone who takes part in Race for Life, from the participants themselves to the millions of supporters who sponsor and encourage them, becomes part of a powerful collective force rising up to beat cancer sooner. Last year, 2600 women took part in Race for Life in Blackpool and raised a fantastic £121,000. This year, organisers again need 2600 women and girls to stride out to help raise in excess of £110,000.

Money raised through Race for Life allows Cancer Research UK’s doctors, nurses and scientists to advance research which is helping to save the lives of men, women and children across the North West. Cancer Research UK receives no Government funding for its groundbreaking work but with help from the people of Blackpool, the charity intends to bring forward the day when all cancers are cured.

Liz continued: ‘Race for Life is an amazing way to celebrate life but also remember those who have been lost to the disease. There are over 200 cancers and we won’t give up until we find cures for them all.’

To enter Race for Life Blackpool today go to www.raceforlife.org or call 0845 600 6050 Race for Life events in the North West Blackpool : 5k on Wednesday 9th July at 7.30pm at Blackpool Promenade Lancaster: 5k on Sunday 20th July at 11.00am at Lancaster University Preston: 5k on Sunday 15th June at 11.00am at Moor Park
