LYTHAM ST ANNES Your FREE Local Community & Business Directory Hello and welcome to the latest edition of LINK Mag!

I’m sure this month, like us, you’ll join the four billion other people worldwide in watching the London Olympics.

Whether you’re lucky enough to be watching in person or simply enjoying it on TV, it should be a monumental showcase of everything that is good about Britain.

We’ll certainly have our eyes on Blackpool-born Carl Myerscough, who will represent Team GB in the shotput event. The best of luck to him and the rest of Team GB! Our NEW business index is in this edition too. Designed to help you quickly and simply find the business you’re looking for at a glance, it can be found near the back of the magazine just inside from the classified pages.

Congratulations to the winners of last month’s competitions.

Caroline Baron of Carleton won our Where Am I? Competition, so well done - £50 is on its way to you! Also, Mr Rusgitti of Blackpool won the James Jackson WIN Your MOT draw. A pat on the back to you both!

Don’t forget, LINK-Magazine also offers competitive leaflet print and distribution for up to 96,000 homes and businesses across the Fylde Coast, as well as offering FREE ‘What’s On’ listings for most local events.

Postcard from Lytham & St Annes You can’t blame me for once again starting by talking about the weather, and my sympathy goes out to all the people who have organised events this ‘summer’ to have them cancelled. The great sense of community spirit that exists on the Fylde Coast is one thing that I really like about the place, and it’s a shame that months of planning have been a washout.

Even the Olympic Torch blew out briefly on its journey through Wyre – many of the celebrations were cancelled because of the dangerous weather, but at least the celebration event could take shelter in the Tower Ballroom.

There’s a new Events Calendar on the Visit St Annes and Visit Lytham websites, so you can keep an eye on what’s happening across the Fylde Coast. If you belong to a community group by all means tell us your news and we’ll share it on the website.

There are two websites for Fylde, www.visitStAnnes. info and www.visitLytham.info. You can subscribe for email updates to make sure that you don’t miss out!

If you’ve got anything to tell us just email jane@theRabbitPatch.co.uk or ring 07932 143431.

St Annes Carnival on the weekend of 7 and 8 July was one of the few which managed to make it home and dry! A great event each year for the community, it’s also a great showcase for the town and the strong community spirit.

Lytham St Annes News

Pupils Join School Gates Safety Drive Police and school staff are teaming up to tackle speeding and bad parking near a Lytham school.

Parents complain that pupils rare being put at risk by speeding passers-by and a minority of parents who park badly near Hall Park Primary School.

Fylde Community Safety Partnership, together with the school and police, is now planning a day of action next week when children will be given high-visibility jackets and “dashboard bugs” to give to parents.

“We’ve all seen the problem: a minority of parents park right up to the school gates.

It saves them a few seconds but creates danger for parents and children who then have to sneak between cars to cross the road.

“It’s difficult for sensible drivers to have children suddenly emerging from between badly parked cars.

“It has been a problem at Hall Park for some time and we’re pleased that staff will join in by handing out leaflets.”

Councillor Cheryl Little, Fylde Council cabinet member for Social Wellbeing, said: “The dashboard bugs remind parents of the need to drive and park carefully when children are around.

Amelia's Charity Night In memory of Amelia Isabella Grace

The Auction/ Raffle Raised

Amelia's Charity Night was held at Lytham Green Drive Golf Club on Saturday 7th July and was organised to raise money to buy a 'cold cot' for Blackpool Victoria Hospital and for SANDS (Stillbirth & neonatal deaths) Charity.

Niki & Neil Duerden would like to thank everybody for the support and generosity given on the night. There is a website set up so you can continue to donate by visiting A cold cot is a specialist piece of equipment used to help preserve a babies body after it has www.justgiving.com/nicola-duerden passed away. It gives parents longer to spend Or if you would like support or to donate to the with their babies as time is very short and very charities please visit the following websites: precious. uk-sands.org & blueskieshospitalsfund.co.uk Niki and Neil Duerden held the charity night in memory of their baby daughter Amelia Isabella Snowden Grace who was sadly born asleep at 39 weeks last september.

Charity The amazing amount of money raised enabled them to buy two cold cots instead of just one.

Each one costs £1350.

Lytham St Annes News

£100,000 to Help Fylde High Streets Thrive High streets are to receive help to thrive after Fylde Council voted to spend £100,000 on providing professional advice and training to new and existing businesses.

The Whitehall money was given to councils nationwide to spend on tackling empty shops – and Fylde Council will spend the £100,000 grant on retail-linked businesses in any Fylde town or village.

Councillor David Eaves, Fylde Council leader, said: “We considered a number of ways to spend the money, including possible Business Rates discounts or small grants for premises improvements, but we decided that the maximum benefit for the greatest number of businesses would be to fund the business advice that has proven to be invaluable to many new and existing businesses.

“Empty shops are not the blight in Fylde that they are in some parts of the country but we must help all our town centres to thrive and in

turn help residents, tourists and the people who work in Fylde.

“We’ve all seen research showing that many new businesses fail in the first 12 months. They are often started by very enthusiastic people, but some of them lack the professional advice and skills that they need to turn their passion into a sustainable business.

“We will make it as simple as possible for any new or existing small retail-linked business in Fylde to get this help. These small businesses are tomorrow’s big businesses and the whole of Fylde will benefit from this support.”

Fylde Council staff will now liaise with organisations like the Federation of Small Businesses and the Chambers of Trade to arrange the practical support.

Councillor Eaves added: “We will start this scheme as soon as possible after we’ve spoken to the organisations that can help.

“We will publicise it to new and existing and new businesses, regardless of where they are in the borough and we will ensure that applying for help is swift and simple. This is practical help that we can pinpoint where it is needed the most.”

As you approach retirement, your pension provider will contact you with details of your retirement income.

But you don’t have to accept this offer.

Berry Financial Planning may get you more income by helping you shop around using the ‘open market option’ with the highest rates for smokers and people with health conditions and on medication.

We are Independent and compare annuity rates from the whole of the market.

We are local advisers who will talk you through all your options.

Lytham St Annes News

Council Disappointed with Queensway Verdict

“On the plus side, we have to bear in mind that the proposed link road to the M55 has been approved. It has been the longestablished desire of Fylde Council to see the road across the moss improved.

Councillor Trevor Fiddler, Fylde Council cabinet member for Planning and Development, said: “It is very disappointing that this site has been granted planning permission before the wishes of the local community could be fully considered through the Local Plan process.

“The new link road will be a completely new road and of great advantage to residents, although there is the penalty of Queensway development to pay for it.

“There is also to be a new primary school which will be advantageous to the area.”

“We know that we need extra houses in the St Annes area, but we had wanted the Queensway site to be considered alongside other potential development sites through the Local Plan process.

“We now have to accept what has been decided and will now work on detailed permission with the developer to ensure that the houses that are built on this land meet the needs of the local community.
