Personal service from a family run company.

JC Windows is a local family run company offering a personal service to homeowners. John and his team specialise in all areas of the double glazing industry from a simple door to complex bespoke orangeries and conservatories.

product concept, site survey, through to installation and aftercare has given John an enviable reputation within the industry.

Salesmen free zone‌. so consider at your leisure!

You may have often heard the dreaded stories regarding direct sales techniques used by many double glazing companies that do not take no for an answer! The four-hour sales pitch, aggressive bullying sales tactics, harassing phone calls and incredibly large discounts are common practice, which sounds like a very harrowing experience!

At JC Windows they are very different in so many ways, they set themselves apart by making the process hassle free from start to finish and operate a no salesmen or sign on the night policy.

In the comfort of your own home, JC Windows will take great pleasure in assisting you with decisions, and answer any questions that you may have to help you choose the right products for your home and budget and best of all once you have received your written quotation you can then decide at your leisure.

It’s been a Great Summer! Now we are looking forward to all the great things in the Autumn, so if you have any events planned over the next few months, make sure they get listed FREE in LINK-MAG - the Fylde Coast’s most popular free monthly magazine.

We’ve had a fantastic August dealing with more new businesses and enquiries, and we’re looking forward to continued growth over the coming months with even more new areas. We are also expanding our Vegan Print business as we offer very competitive ethical print, so look out for offers in next month’s magazine.

We’ve supported local companies now for over 5 years by helping to generate over a million pounds of business per year now for local companies.

Blackpool News

Blackpool RSPCA moves to new centre They are organising a sponosred bike ride to raise funds at the new unit.

Blackpool RSPCA have recently moved from Division Lane in Marton to 74D Longview Animal Centre, Old Toms Lane, Stalmine, Lancashire, FY6 0JR. A new telephone number is awaiting to be confirmed but they can be contacted by email, enquiries@rspcablackpool.org.uk.

This is in case of any infection which might be brought in by a new arrival and then spread on to healthy animals.

They will be opening with just cats at first until the dog kennels are complete. There is a small animals unit which will also be opened sometime this year at the site. They hope you will all come and visit us and see our new state of the art centre. The animals will have better accommodation at the new site and it will be better working conditions for all the staff.

We assess the animals for up to 14 days in the isolation block before putting them up for homing.

Some animals come in to us in awful conditions and need a lot of medical treatment before being healthy enough to find a new home so the isolation unit allows us to do this in a sterile, safe environment and treat the animals with what they need.

They are also organising a Sponsored Bike Ride. Anybody who would like to take part in the Sponsored Bike Ride in aid of raising money for the, Blackpool and North Lancashire RSPCA Branch then please get in touch. Natasha from the unit, has organised the ride in the hope of raising money to go towards the completion of the ISOLATION unit desperately needed at the new site in Stalmine.

The new isolation block will cost the centre £140,000 so we have a long way to go in raising the money. We are a self funded branch who relies heavily on donations, legacies and the local people’s generosity. If you wish to sponsor one of the staff taking part or you fancy taking part in the ride we would love to have you on board. Sponsor forms are available by email and at the charity shops Talbot Road, Highfield Road, Knott End and Morecambe.

The isolation unit plays a very crucial part at the animal centre as it keeps new arrivals away from all the current healthy animals that are up for homing.

Blackpool News

500,000 reasons why Blackpool is blossoming New businesses are benefitting from more than £500,000 worth of Government start up loans, secured for them by Blackpool Council.

Northern Promenade. Photo: Paul J Martin / Shutterstock.com

The council’s Get Started scheme – part of the Start Up Lancashire service supported by the European Regional Development Fund – plays a key role in supporting new business and helping it to develop. Last year, it helped 100 new businesses get underway and has helped 900 since 2007 by providing business advice and support and access to finance. And they know more than most that securing the finance needed to start up in business can often prove one of the toughest challenges.

But with the Government’s Start Up Loans scheme, which was originally for 18-30 year olds to start up a business, opening up to all age groups, the team have been able to take advantage and secure support for more and more Blackpool entrepreneurs. Now the help the council has been able to source from the scheme since September 2012 has reached half a million pounds.

Cllr Fred Jackson, Blackpool Council’s cabinet member for urban regeneration, said: ‘It’s pleasing that Blackpool Council is leading the way promoting the entrepreneur spirit so evident in our town. The Get Started Scheme was set up seven years ago to break down barriers that prevent businesses from starting up. They assist by providing expert advice and support to any Blackpool resident thinking of starting up a business. It really is a one stop service, facilitating the development of someone’s simple idea and turning it into a comprehensive plan, utilising training courses and one to one planning meetings. At a time when the local economy is starting to grow, it is important we help people become their own bosses and I look forward to hearing some more great success stories. We’ve helped 85 businesses secure a total of £500,000 26

from the Start Up Loans scheme and we hope that level of support can continue.’

New businesses helped by Get Started span a huge range of fields from film production, tradesmen and gardeners to artists and IT experts.

Nicola Attwood who set up Axon Communications on Empress Drive with her husband Chris, said: ‘Getting in touch with Get Started was the best decision we have ever made. They not only helped us in the early day but continue to keep in touch and assist in the development of our business. We have now moved into new areas, such as WiFi solutions for hotels and caravan parks as well as other multiple occupancy sites. It makes a huge difference to have the backing of such a dedicated professional service provided by Blackpool Council.’

And Alistair Taylor, runner up in the 2012 Oracle young enterprise challenge, has now been trading one year as a hairdresser in Abingdon Street market. He said ‘Setting up a business doesn’t need to be difficult. With help and support from people that take an interest in you, belief in your ability and some hard work, anything is possible. One year on and I have had nearly 2,000 clients, make a good living and enjoy every day. My advice to anyone thinking of starting a business to contact Get Started and explore the opportunity self-employment can provide.’

Blackpool Council’s Stanley Park in is one of the very best in the UK – and that’s official!

Stanley Park received a Green Flag Award 2014, handed out by environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy, which recognises and rewards the best parks and green spaces across the country. The award follows the recently received ‘certificate of excellence’ from review website Tripadvisor.

The certificate has been awarded based on the quality of reviews and opinions that the park has earned on the website over the last year.

The three hundred and ninety acre Blackpool Park boasts beautiful Rose, Remembrance and Italian Gardens, water fountains, statues, Boat Lake, bandstand and the impressive Cocker Tower, a memorial to Blackpool’s first Mayor Dr William Cocker. The Park proudly attracts interest to England’s finest examples of Art Deco design, the Art Deco Café is a unique historic restaurant offering spectacular views.

A brand new animal farm themed children’s play area aimed at 2-8 year olds has also recently opened, now one of the largest outdoor facilities of its kind in the North West Cllr Graham Cain, cabinet member leisure and tourism, said ‘We are absolutely delighted to receive a Green Flag Award for ninth time from Keep Britain Tidy. This award recognises the parks managers, staff and volunteers, who through their hard work have created a green space of the very highest quality for people in

Blackpool News

Stanley Park named one of the best in Britain

Blackpool to enjoy. Stanley Park continues to be a popular attraction for residents and visitors alike; it is a Grade II listed jewel in Blackpool’s crown.’

The Friends of Stanley Park play a fundamental role in the parks success - contributing by running the park visitor centre, helping with fund raising for park improvements, organising music in the park bandstand events and undertaking practical projects.

Elaine Smith, Friends of Stanley Park chairman, said ‘We are thrilled to receive the award again.

This year the park is the busiest I’ve ever known it which is wonderful to see and I hope it continues. Stanley Park is the heart of Blackpool for residents and visitors – very fitting as the park is the shape of a heart! We still have a number of groups on the bandstand and events coming up throughout the summer for people to enjoy.’

A Green Flag flying overhead is a sign to the public that the space boasts the highest possible standards, is beautifully maintained and has excellent facilities. Stanley Park is among a record-breaking 1,476 parks and green spaces that received a prestigious Green Flag Award.

Getting to the core of fitness Blackpool Council’s Get Started service has helped turn Thomas Watt’s dream into reality.

Fitness instructor and personal trainer, Thomas Watt, with 15 years of experience in the fitness industry has launched his own business, Corefit, with the help of Blackpool Council’s Get Started service.

Thomas said ‘People want to make a difference to their lifestyle, and improve their health and appearance, but do not want to be tied to a lengthy gym contract. Corefit offers a facility where people could train together in an outdoor environment, have fun and also get fit. Fitness on its own is often not enough and that is why part of my training involves producing a nutritional program for the individuals.

I needed some help and business support to obtain the new enterprise and approached Get Started who helped me with one-to-one advice as well as several bespoke business courses designed to give me practical help. Thanks to them, I not only obtained the business support but was assisted to obtain financial support from the government’s new enterprise allowance scheme and am now up and running. We held our first session on Lawsons Field last month and it was a resounding success. It will be hard work but we already have our first courses full and more clients joining all the time.’

Thomas Watt, personal trainer Holly Andersen with a Corefit bootcamp

Corefit prides itself on being Blackpool’s first all year round outdoor training company, with versatile workouts so there is something to suit everyone’s needs, come rain or shine.

Cllr Fred Jackson, cabinet member for urban regeneration, said ‘We are delighted to see yet another new business open in Blackpool thanks to the fantastic work that Get Started does in helping to get small businesses off the ground. New companies can start from a simple idea, passion or skill. Whatever your business, our experts will be on hand to help develop it into a functioning company, providing advice on business plans, accounting and accessing finance. We wish Thomas the best of luck!’

Blackpool News

Youngsters praised for Commonwealth success A group of Blackpool youngsters have been praised for their successful participation in the Commonwealth Youth Dance Festival in Glasgow.

The Fylde Coast Youth Dance Company, a group consisting of 19 young dancers between the ages of 12 and 19 from Blackpool and Fylde, were one of only eight youth dance groups from across England, Wales and Northern Ireland to be chosen to take part in the festival, a part of the Commonwealth Games celebrations.

They joined more than 400 dancers from 10 countries for three days of workshops and performances celebrating the vibrancy of dance within Commonwealth countries as part of the build up to Glasgow 2014. And now, after a successful trip, they have spoken out about their experiences.

One dancer, Lauren Fail, 19, said ‘These past few days in Glasgow have been so ridiculously amazing and I feel so lucky to have spent it with the most incredible people. I’ll never forget all the amazing experiences I’ve had and the people I have met. My favourite part was being able to participate in workshops of different styles with people from all over the world that had very different dance experiences. It was amazing to see how these dancers came together to create work even when their styles were so different.

It was also really interesting to learn about their cultures when talking to the other dancers.’

The Saturday night performance which the company starred in was a complete sell out and the youngsters received a standing ovation for their efforts.

Cllr Christine Wright, Blackpool Council’s cabinet member for culture and heritage, said the company were showing just what Blackpool children can achieve.

She said: ‘The Commonwealth Games is a huge event for the UK and we’re all looking forward to the action getting underway. But, like many major

sporting festivals, it has also brought together a host of cultural activities, especially for young people, and this is a prime example. The dancers did Blackpool proud by being selected and it sounds like they have had a magnificent time and learned a lot. This just shows what children from Blackpool can achieve through hard work and with the right support and guidance.’

This selection comes at the end of the company’s successful first year of operation. Formed in July 2013, the company have also performed at the U Dance North West, a regional platform taking place at The Lowry and the Lancashire Youth Dance Festival, run by Ludus Dance in May. They meet every fortnight, led by local dance artist Leanne Kirkham, developing their dance technique and creative practice, learning how to create their own performance work and working with professional choreographers and dance companies to inspire them further.

Auditions will be held for the next intake of the company will take place in September 2014. For more details, please visit www.fyldecoastdance. wordpress.com.

The company is funded through the Dance Development programme which is managed by Blackpool Council and is supported by National Lottery through Arts Council England, Blackpool Council, Wyre Council and Lancashire County Council.

Blackpool News Lucy Bicket and PC John Crystal with the winning entry

The poster child for crime!

A nine year old school girl is set to become the poster child for crime in Blackpool – but in a good way!

Lucy Bicket, who attends Bispham Endowed Primary School, will help crack crime after her poster was chosen as the winning entry in a council competition to warn people to avoid becoming a victim. The youngsters were asked to design a poster to be used in the local area to get across a key message – that 50 per cent of all robberies, burglaries and thefts happen, in part, because vehicles and buildings are left unlocked.

Sheds, garages and cars have all been targeted in recent months by opportunist thieves who have found a welcoming easy access, allowing them to steal whatever they wanted. Blackpool Council has been working with Blackpool Police to try to help make the local community in Bispham aware of the problem.

Cllr Gillian Campbell, Blackpool Council cabinet member for public safety, said: ‘Lucy has done very well with her poster and can be very proud of her work. It will be used all over the area to try to get across the message. There is a serious point here – the police are concerned that people are making it easy for criminals to carry out crimes of this type – simply by leaving their cars 32

and buildings unlocked. We want to urge people not to get caught out and lock up before they leave!’

Inspector Louise Ainsworth, from Lancashire Police, said ‘This was an ideal opportunity to raise awareness with the children to influence their parents and perhaps grandparents to be more security conscious. As well as designing the poster, the children had a security checklist to take home that highlighted ways to makes sheds more difficult to target. Lucy’s poster gave a very clear message to the Bispham community not to make theft easy for opportunist criminals.’

And Head teacher, Jo Hirst, said: ‘We were very pleased to be involved in the recent poster competition. We encourage all our children to think about safety and security as part of our schools safeguarding procedures. Lucy was delighted to be chosen as the competition winner and we look forward to seeing her posters around the Bispham area.’

If you have any concerns about crime, call the police on 101 or, in an emergency, 999.

Blackpool’s breath taking Air Show battled the elements to boost visitor numbers and wow the crowds.

Tens of thousands of people visited the resort this weekend to watch the world famous RAF Red Arrows, the Fylde’s very own Eurofighter Typhoon and many, many more spectacular flying machines. And despite rain on Sunday morning and winds on Monday afternoon which meant the programme had to be re-organised, lady luck shined on the resort to allow the show – in typical Blackpool style – to go on.

Heart North West’s Heart Angels were also on hand running competitions throughout the two days to win a fantastic VIP helicopter ride across the Blackpool coastline. Blackpool Air Show has now been wowing the public since 1909 when the town put on the very first official air show in Britain. That was the same year French flyer Louis Bleriot made the first historic crossing of the English Channel.

Cllr Graham Cain, Blackpool Council’s cabinet member for leisure and tourism, said ‘I was out on the Promenade throughout the day on both Sunday and Monday and people were having a fantastic time. We have to give enormous credit to the brave pilots who showed off their skills in very difficult conditions and the crowds for braving the breeze to catch a glimpse of the Red Arrows, the Eurofighter Typhoon and the spectacular Breitling Wing Walkers and all the other performers. In true Blackpool style, the show must go on and I’m very proud of everyone who took part to make the 105th annual air show a very special occasion.’

Expect a similarly spectacular display next year!

As well as a range of spectacular displays, there were also stalls from the Friends of the Red Arrows, Disney Planes 2, the Lytham Spitfire and charities like the Royal British Legion, Blackpool Carers Centre and Foster Carers Ltd.

Blackpool News

Windy weather fails to blow Blackpool Air Show off course!

Merlin Entertainments – which runs a host of attractions in the town including The Blackpool Tower, Madame Tussauds and Sea Life - together with Visit Blackpool, are driving the exciting family-focused awareness campaign to reenergise the iconic seaside resort.

The initiative #Blackpoolsback aims to challenge any negative perceptions of the resort, by reminding families of everything Blackpool has to offer. This includes an unrivalled concentration of world-class family attractions, an award-winning beach as well as a summer packed with exciting events.

The isolation unit plays a very crucial part at the animal centre as it keeps new arrivals away from all the current healthy animals that are up for homing. This is in case of any infection which might be brought in by a new arrival and then spread on to healthy animals. People are welcome to contact them to take part or to sponsor one of the staff taking part.

For all information email: enquiries@rspcablackpool.org. uk or visit www.rspcablackpool.org.uk FRIENDS OF TRINITY HOSPICE QUIZ NIGHT 27th October, 7:30 The Red Lion Pub, Bispham Halloween Theme, tickets £3 with supper.
