TOWN MAGAZINE 12,000 Copies Per Month We find ourselves with our last edition of 2015. It’s been another great year!

We would like to thank all our readers, contributors and advertisers.

You are all aware that LINK-MAG reaches more doors than any other local media. Our place in the community means that we can reach out to more people than ever to make sure this Christmas is enjoyed by all, however you celebrate it at this time.

Our next edition will be a joint Jan/Feb issue. As always it will be out later in January as we take a well earned break. But don’t be fooled – we will still be working behind the scenes to re-launch our website with a brand new look. We will also work on other improvements, creating new competitions, offering great print deals and making your best local magazine even better in 2016!

Look out for our 2016 Local Fundraising Calendar (details inside). It makes such a great gift and supports the local community. You can buy your copy direct from us for just £5.99, or at www.wyrecalendars.co.uk or participating outlets.

That’s me the MD signing off for 2015. Thank you for your continued support…

Funeral Planner of the year J T Byrne Funeral Directors named regional Funeral Planner of the Year and received a nomination within the top 3 in the country.

T

hornton-Cleveleys and Fleetwood funeral director J T Byrne Funeral Directors has been named the best mid-sized funeral planner in the West Lancashire & Merseyside area and also named within the top 3 in the country at 2015’s Funeral Planner of the Year awards.

The win came during a competitive year. Run by market leading funeral plan provider Golden Charter, the awards are the biggest gathering of independent funeral directors in the UK, with this year’s event the largest ever held.

The funeral director’s John Byrne said: “We are delighted to have won this prestigious award for the fourth year running. This reflects upon the support we receive from the local community. We are proud to be at the forefront of helping families at their time of need and providing Golden Charter funeral plans.

J T Byrne are a family business supporting families.

Ronnie Wayte, Golden Charter’s Chief Executive, said: “In their 22nd year the awards are more competitive than ever before, with funeral plans continuing to grow in popularity. This award is well earned proof that J T Byrne Funeral Directors has reached a remarkable standard.”

The Funeral Planner of the Year Awards focus on the funeral planning achievements of independent funeral directors, who make up a growing majority of the funeral industry. With recent Mintel figures showing that the average price of funerals has increased 88% in the past ten years to £3,609, more people are choosing to use pre-paid funeral plans to freeze the cost of the funeral director’s services at today’s prices.

A funeral plan from your SAVE local independent upto funeral director makes £465 perfect sense With a Golden Charter funeral plan you’ll benefit from: • Protection against rising funeral costs • Reassurance for your family – no uncertainty or difficult decisions • Complete flexibility to choose the funeral you want • Guaranteed acceptance

advice on staying warm and well this Winter Over the last ten years a staggering quarter of a million older people have died from the cold.

Research shows that exposure to the cold can have a devastating impact on the health of older people, who are particularly vulnerable to the impact of low temperatures. As people get older it takes longer to warm up which can be bad for people’s health. The cold thickens blood and increases blood pressure, and breathing in cold air can increase the risk of chest infections.

The good news is that preparing effectively for the cold weather can literally save lives. That’s why this winter Age UK will be working hard to remind older people and carers of the importance of taking simple precautions to stay warm and well.

The Charity is urging people to call Age UK Advice for free on 0800 169 65 65, and order a free copy of the Charity’s ‘Winter Wrapped Up’ guide which contains a free thermometer and provides tips on staying warm in winter. Alternatively the guide can be downloaded from www. spreadthewarmth.org.uk where contact details for local Age UKs can also be found.

AGE UK’S TOP TIPS FOR STAYING WARM AND WELL THIS WINTER l 64°F (18°C) is the ideal temperature for your bedroom and 70°F (21°C) is the ideal temperature for your living room. Check your thermostat or use a room thermometer to monitor temperature l Keep your bedroom window shut on at night.

Breathing in cold air can increase the risk of chest infections. l Stay active and when you are indoors try not to sit still for more than an hour, if you can get up.

Walk around or make a hot drink. l Eat well. It’s important to eat well, especially in the winter. Have at least one hot meal a day and have regular hot drinks, as they help to keep you warm. Also stock up on basic food items in case of a cold snap.

20

Caroline Abrahams, Charity Director at Age UK, said: “Although it sounds like common sense, advising people on how to stay warm in winter can actually make all the difference. Many people are not fully aware of how the cold affects our bodies differently as we age and how, if we don’t take sensible precautions, it can very quickly put our lives in danger.

“Winter can be an incredibly daunting and difficult time for older people, especially those who live alone or are housebound, so it’s vital that we do all we can to help them prepare for the colder weather. We urge anyone who is concerned about keeping warm and well over winter to get in touch with their local Age UK to find out how we can help them.”

Age UK’s Campaign for Warm Homes For many years, Age UK has argued that improving energy efficiency in people’s homes is the long term to solution to the high levels of excess winter deaths, winter health problems and fuel poverty amongst older people in England.

Due to the closure of one of the Government’s flagship energy efficiency programme - the Green Deal - currently there is very limited support for anyone who wants to install measures to make their home warmer.

That is why the Campaign for Warm Homes is urgently calling on the Government to reform its energy efficiency programme to enable all older people to live in a warm home. For more information about the campaign and contacting your local MP, please go to www.ageuk.org.uk/ warmhomes

Christmas Cooking

A festive Feast

Christmas gives friends and families a perfect excuse to come in from the cold and celebrate over plenty of delicious food! Get in to the Christmas spirit with our easy yet impressive recipes that will make this Christmas one to remember.

Roast turkey

with watercress and orange stuffing Prep time: 20 minutes Cooking time: 3hours Serves: 6 Ingredients: 1 (4kg) oven ready turkey, giblets removed 1 onion, halved 1 lemon, halved 75g soft butter 100g watercress For the stuffing: 50g butter 1 large onion, finely chopped 2 stick celery, finely chopped 1 garlic clove, crushed 100g watercress, chopped 50g blanched toasted hazelnuts, roughly chopped zest and juice 1 large orange 200g fresh white breadcrumbs 10ml dried thyme salt and freshly ground black pepper For the gravy 100ml sherry or dry white wine 500ml chicken stock 30ml cornflour

Method: Make the stuffing, melt the butter in a medium pan add the onion and celery and cook over a medium heat until soft and pale golden. Add the garlic and watercress, cook for a further 2 mins until the watercress is wilted.

Remove from the heat and tip into a large bowl, add the hazelnuts, orange zest and juice, breadcrumbs, thyme and plenty of freshly ground black pepper and a little salt to taste. Mix well. Leave until cold.

Preheat the oven to 190oC/ Fan 170oC Gas Mark 5.

Wash the turkey inside and out and dry with kitchen paper. Place the onion and lemon inside the cavity of the bird. Spoon the stuffing into the neck flap of the turkey, packing it in tightly, then secure the flap with cocktail sticks, or sew together.

Line a large roasting tray with two pieces of wide foil laid like a cross. Place the turkey in the centre of the foil and rub the breast and legs with the soft butter.

Season with salt and pepper.

Pull the foil up and around

the turkey to ‘tent’ the bird, sealing it at the edges. Place in the centre of the hot oven and roast for 3hrs.

Half way through the cooking time, remove the bird from the oven, loosen the foil and spoon the cooking juices over the bird to baste, reseal the foil and continue to roast.

Forty minutes before the end of cooking. Remove from the oven, fold back the foil, baste the bird with the juices again then, roast uncovered until the turkey is a lovely golden brown. Remove the bird from the oven, transfer to a board, cover with foil and leave to rest for 10 minutes this makes carving easier.

To make the gravy, pour the hot stock into the roasting tin and use a wooden spoon to scrape away all the cooking juices that have collected on the foil

and in the tin. Then pour the liquid through a sieve into a medium pan. Place on the hob, add the sherry and bring to the boil and simmer to reduce for 10 minutes. Mix the cornflour to a smooth paste with a little cold water, then add to the gravy stirring until the gravy boils and thickens.

Transfer to a warm gravy boat and keep warm.

To present the turkey for the table, take a large warm serving platter, scatter the watercress all over the plate.

Lift the turkey from the board and arrange in the centre of the leaves. The leaves will wilt and soak up the juices from the bird as it is carved. Serve the turkey and stuffing in slices with a good portion of the wilted watercress. Serve with all your favourite seasonal vegetables.

Roast Potatoes, Parsnips and Shallots

Festive Food

with Pancetta and Bay Leaves Prep Time: 10 minutes Cooking Time: 1 ½ hours Serves: 6 Ingredients: 1.5kg Potatoes, medium sized, peeled 900g parsnips, medium sized, peeled 2 tbsp plain flour 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped, plus a few sprigs 6-8 tbsp rapeseed oil 12 shallots, peeled 200g pancetta, roughly chopped 6 whole bay leaves Sea salt and black pepper www.UKshallot.com

Method: Preheat oven to 200°C/Gas 6 Cut any large potatoes in half and all of the parsnips in half lengthways, cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 8 minutes or until parboiled. Meanwhile cook the parsnips in the same way in another pan for 4 minutes. Drain the potatoes well then return to the pan and cover, shake the pan to roughen the edges of the potatoes.

Drain the parsnips and toss them in the flour, chopped thyme and seasoning.

Pour the rapeseed oil into a large roasting tin and heat in the oven; you need around 1cm of oil in the tin. Add the potatoes and turn them over in the oil using a slotted spoon. Roast uncovered for 15-20 minutes, remove the tin from the oven and turn the potatoes, add the parsnips

and shallots and turn them in the oil too.

Roast for a further 35-40 minutes then turn all of the vegetables again, add the pancetta.

Increase the heat to 220°C/Gas 7 for a further 15-20 minutes, adding the thyme sprigs and bay leaves for the final 10 minutes. Sprinkle with a little sea salt and black pepper and serve immediately

Cranberry Meringue Roulade with Cointreau Orange Cream Prep time: 20 minutes Cooking time: 25 mins Serves: 8 Ingredients: For the meringue 5 eggs whites 275g caster sugar 50g flaked almonds For the filling 250g fresh cranberries 100g caster sugar Grated zest and juice of half an orange 300ml double cream 3 tbsps Cointreau Cooks Tip: For that extra wow factor decorate with chocolate holly leaves and delicious crystallised fresh cranberries. For the holly leaves paint melted chocolate onto the back of clean holly or bay leaves, allow to set in the fridge, repeat with another layer of chocolate and set again. Carefully peel off. To make crystallised cranberries, soak fresh uncooked cranberries in a sugar syrup, roll in caster sugar and allow to dry for a few hours.

Method: Preheat the oven to 200°C / Gas Mark 6. Line a 35cmx23cm Swiss roll tin with lightly greased baking parchment.

Whisk the egg whites until very stiff, then gradually add the sugar.

Spread the meringue into the prepared tin and sprinkle with the almonds.

Bake in the oven for 10 minutes then reduce the heat to 160°C / Gas Mark 3 and continue to cook for a further 15 minutes.

Remove from the oven and turn almond side down on to a sheet of baking parchment, allow to cool.

To make the filling, place the cranberries in a saucepan with the sugar,

Advertise your business call 0800 970 7687 or email info@link-mag.co.uk

orange juice and zest and simmer until softened and syrupy. Then take off the heat and allow to cool.

When ready to assemble whisk the cream and the Cointreau until the mixture stands in soft peaks. Spread the cool cranberry mixture evenly over the roulade then spread the cream over.

Roll up from the long end fairly tightly, don’t worry if it cracks a little. Place on a serving plate and chill before serving.

To freeze: Place the filled and rolled roulade on a suitable platter, open freeze overnight then wrap in a double layer of foil. Allow to defrost slowly for several hours. www.berryworld.com

FY7 Community Beat Hello

The Fleetwood PACT event takes place at the ASDA store on Dock Street on the third Saturday of each month between 1pm and 3pm. We’re usually joined by a local Fleetwood Town councillor too so between us we should be able to assist or refer your information to the right person.

I also try to attend the monthly Fleetwood Town Council meetings, 7pm on the last Tuesday of the month at the North Euston Hotel - where I provide a brief update to the meeting about the local policing issues, and do my best to answer any questions Christmas is next!

• Leave your lights on at home when unoccupied and use timers on plugs if you’re out for a long time In last month’s article I referred to the Fleetwood Fireworks Extravaganza at the Marine Gardens. This was a huge event with approximately 10,000 people attending. The rain finally stopped at the crucial time to allow the event to go ahead unspoilt. As with all community events, it’s the volunteers that make it happen usually with very limited funds; I know this event is well supported but it does also require donations from members of the public to ensure it’s here to stay. The event has massively reduced the levels of anti-social behaviour across Fleetwood on 5th November and there are many organisations that continue to work well together to keep it that way. It was a fantastic event!

Work starts to revive iconic Fleetwood landmark

W

ork to return The Mount in Fleetwood back to its original landscape has started and marks the start of a grander plan to completely revive the town’s most iconic landmark.

The seaward side of The Mount’s Grade II registered gardens are to be restored to their 19th century design, starting with bringing back the railings that topped the esplanade wall. At the same time the shelters will be restored, pathways repaired and resurfaced and heritage benches added.

An initial bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund has also been submitted for money to transform the landward side including pavilion, rose garden and gate lodge, with a decision expected early next year.

Councillor David Henderson, Cabinet member with responsibility for parks and open spaces at Wyre Council, said: “We’re reviving this historical site as part of our work to rejuvenate the seafront and make Fleetwood a promenade to be proud of. The Mount was originally designed to be the centre point of the town and it’s time for it to become the focus once again; an original feature among exciting new attractions in a town that’s enjoying a revival.”

The new railings are being specially made to replicate the ornamental pattern of the original Victorian design and they will be painted in shades of green, to match the colours used when first built and other historical Fleetwood features such as Euston Park water fountain.

The existing stone coping atop the low wall will be replaced before 10 metre sections of railings are installed at a time. There are 300 metres to complete in total and given the specialist nature of the work, it will be a gradual, meticulous process that will eventually result in both the boundary being restored and The Mount’s original character.

Work began on Monday 2 November and will finish in summer 2016. The gardens remain open to the public throughout.

Find out more and sign up for e-news about the project at wyre.gov.uk/themount

The project is being funded thanks to a personal donation of £1m from Mrs Doreen Lofthouse and the aim is to encourage more people to visit and firmly establish it as an ideal space for community use.

Councillor Henderson added: “It’s wonderful that Mrs Lofthouse has helped to kick-start this project, which will hopefully lead to a successful Lottery bid and shows the continuing investment in Fleetwood by Wyre Council.”

Designed by eminent architect Decimus Burton in the 1800s and built on an extensive rabbit warren, The Mount was the heart of Fleetwood with the streets of the town radiating out from it.

The original cast iron railings are the key feature currently missing. Made by one of the era’s most prolific iron founders in the world, they had to be removed in 1942 for the Second World War.
