Hello and welcome to the April edition of LINK-Magazine.

Spring is in the air; lambs are happily knocking about the countryside, the daffodils are sprouting their majestic yellow flowers, and it looks like the sun is finally starting to shine. Let’s hope it continues for what is certain to be a fantastic Easter weekend!

There’s lots of offers inside this month’s issue to help you enjoy it too, including for Blackpool Model Village and Farmer Parr’s Animal World.

There’s also big St George’s Day celebrations going on towards April 23 in different areas of the Fylde – check out our FY8 edition online for a huge bash.

And don’t forget Her Majesty’s birthday on Saturday April 21 – another (or any!) excuse for celebration!

Lytham Window Company

t: 01253 762 811 web:www.lythamwindowco.co.uk Established in the 1980s by Dave Fletcher and joined shortly after by co-director Mark Hegarty, Lytham Windows is now moving into its fourth decade of trading, and is the longest established manufacturing UPVC company on the Fylde Coast.

From humble beginnings to the purpose-built premises on Preston New Road, the company has come a long way, and over 100,000 retail, trade and commercial customers are testimony to its high standards of workmanship, service and quality.

Managing Director Dave Fletcher said: “It’s fantastic the way our customers keep coming back to us time after time, and now, because we have been trading for so long, we are doing installations for our original customers’ grown-up children!”

The prestige showroom has state of the art orangeries, doors, conservatories, and windows on display, all made to the highest standards in the on-site factory that can now make over 500 frames a week.

What has kept Lytham Windows the market leader all these years? “The customer is the most important person in the world,” Dave explained. “I insist on the highest standards of workmanship and professionalism from my staff, so customers know that each installation will be carried out cleanly and efficiently.

“There is no high-pressure selling here, all quotes are put in writing so the customer can decide at their leisure, and each job carries a no-quibble 15-year guarantee along with a ten-year insurance-backed guarantee.

“We are also a FENSA-registered company, which means that every installation is registered and certified as meeting as building regulations.”

Competitive pricing and up-to-date computer technology, together with years of experience explain the company’s ever-growing popularity. And it is a well-known fact that consumers buy from people they like, so with the staff turnover at Lytham Windows so low, the same friendly faces greet customers time and time again.

LSA YMCA’s Under 15s created history on 1st March by becoming the first team ever in Lancashire to achieve Lancs FA County Cups in three successive seasons. They won the trophy 2 years ago at Under 13s and last season at Under 14s. In the Under 15 Final, held as usual under floodlights at the Lancs FA Headquarters in Leyland, they beat Merseyside outfit St Helens Town in a thrilling contest. A double strike

by Jamie Thomas gave YMCA a 2-0 interval lead. St Helens pulled a goal back soon after half time but Aiden Atchison quickly restored YMCA’s 2-goal lead.

However, a battling St Helens side made a spirited revival with two further goals to level the scores at 3-3 and a penalty shootout looked on the cards to decide the issue. With just 60 seconds remaining though Atchison latched on to a through ball and fired home a low drive for a dramatic winner giving YMCA a nail-biting 4-3 victory.

With over 100 teams from all over the county entering every year this is a very tough competition to win so to notch three successive County Cups is an amazing feat.

Another great achievement by the YMCA this season is that its seven boys teams and three girls teams all reached the semi finals of their respective local league cup competitions, the first time this has ever happened at the YMCA making this a remarkable season so far for the club.

Paul Gaunt Furniture Hello, my name is Paul Gaunt, and I would like to invite you to visit our Furniture Store on Squires Gate Lane (opposite the airport) to take advantage of some great offers!

I have been in the furniture industry since I was just seven years old, when I worked for my parents at Doorway to Value, and the skills I have built up in the years following means that I can offer you an enviable expertise.

I have learnt my trade over the past 3 decades and try daily to offer you the benefit of this experience. I am constantly searching for exciting styles and innovations for your home. As style changes, it is important to keep pace with the things that are important to you and your lifestyle, remembering that fashion changes but style lasts forever.

Each member of my team is carefully trained to provide sound, impartial advice on which items of furniture are suitable for you. Your home is a unique expression of who you are, and they way you furnish it should reflect this.

Wherever possible we encourage buying British by supporting the local economy and independent manufacturers. And with 83 Factories supplying us every month, you can be confident that we have probably the best selection of furniture in the region.

We are proud of the values that have created our reputation: service, value, and quality.

Furthermore, choosing your new home furnishings should be a pleasure, and at Paul Gaunt Furniture we pride ourselves on providing a comfortable, friendly shopping experience for all our valued customers.

If you haven’t visited us recently, you will be thrilled by our new look showroom - stocked by our colossal Distribution Centre - meaning that many items are available for immediate delivery!

Fylde Council Tax freeze: second year in row Fylde councillors last night approved a Council Tax freeze for the second year running.

The average Council Tax bill for a Band D home will remain at £186.29 when bill are posted to homes later this month.

The budget for April 2012 to April 2013 includes: • An extra £40,000 to improve promenade pavements; • An extra £50,000 to support planning appeals; • A freeze on car-parking charges; • £200,000 for improvements in Ansdell – things such as new paving, street furniture and landscaping.

• Annual savings of at least £92,000 in reduced borrowing costs.

Total council net spending for the coming year will be £10.9m, funded by £5,753m in Council Tax, and grants from central government of £585,000 in the form of New Homes Bonus, a £278,000 Council Tax Freeze Grant and a total of £3.756m in the form of Revenue Support Grant and National Non-Domestic Rates.

A total of £530,000 will be taken from council reserves to keep Council Tax bills low. Reserves for 2012/13 will be £2,537m – comfortably above the £750,000 “prudential minimum”.

‘Andy Man Services

Councillor David Eaves, Fylde Council leader, said: “The main grant from central government has reduced significantly in the last two years and by £603,000 in the last year alone.

“The nation is short of money and every part of the public sector has had to adjust - just as householders have also had to adjust. Fylde Council knows how citizens are suffering hard times and we are determined not to add to their costs by increasing bills year on year.

“Bills have now been frozen for two years on the trot, meaning that average Council Tax demands from Fylde Council will not have gone up in three years.

“Our first priority is preserving the frontline services that people rely on while cutting back-office costs. We have reduced the number of directors from four to three, saving Council Tax-payers more than £80,000 per year – and we will continue to look for other savings.”

Councillor Karen Buckley, Fylde Council’s finance chief, said: “All householders are struggling so we will continue looking for efficiency savings.

“We have instructed all managers not to make any unnecessary financial commitments and will keep a close watch on all elements of spending.“Fylde Council started saving four years ago to avoid trouble in the future: those savings are now paying off with a budget that is balanced in the medium term.”

Pupils queue to be Mayor for a minute The citizens of the future enjoyed an entertaining lesson in public life when they met Fylde’s Mayor and Mayoress.

Pupils from 15 schools were at the Town Hall to meet the civic duo when Mayor Howard Henshaw invited the children to try on the civic regalia.

Attendant Alan Blundell joined in by offering his top hat and the Town Hall’s reception room was a blur of activity as children sat in the Mayor’s chair, carried the mace, wore the Mayor’s robes, tried on the Mayoral chains and wore the Mayor’s hat. Some girls also wore the Mayoress’s chain and hat.

Councillor Howard Henshaw, “first citizen” until this May, explained how his role was to represent the Queen in Fylde – and that the job required special clothes to look the part.

He said: “They were a particularly bright set of children. They asked questions ranging from security arrangements for the historic chains to questions about the historical significance of the mace which, of course, is a ceremonial adaptation of the weapon of war historically used by knights to club the enemy.

“Mayoral attendant Alan Blundell explained the history of Fylde and the Town Hall which, of course, used to be the Southdown Hydro Hotel until 1925. Inevitably, they all wanted to be a Mayor for a few minutes and really looked the part.”

One child even asked if the Mayoral attendant was allowed to take the civic car home! The answer was no!

Memories to last a lifetime: From left, Kirkham and Wesham Primary School pupil Rebecca Turnbull (10) as Mayoress; Thomas Polkinghorn (10), also of Kirkham and Wesham Primary School, wears the Mayor’s hat; Matthew Snowdon (10), from Clifton Primary School as Mayoral attendant.

Residents Action on Fylde Fracking

Is shale gas extraction safe for the Fylde?

We are a group of concerned local residents who are calling for an immediate halt to shale gas extraction on the Fylde Coast pending a proper evaluation of the risks by way of an independent survey

Our Concerns Potential health risks from air and water pollution An increase in traffic with 500 trucks per well and up to 800 wells across Lancashire—that’s a lot of trucks on our roads The process uses vast amounts of water – millions of gallons per well Potentially a huge impact on the environment particularly through chemical spills Two earthquakes already have been linked to fracking nearby Risk of additional land subsidence All resulting in a negative impact on our property prices

Local slimming expert shares secrets of success!

To celebrate the start of 2012 a weight loss expert from Fleetwood is sharing the secrets of successful slimming to help people turn their New Year’s resolutions to lose weight into a healthy reality.

This January Slimming World has trawled its research to identify the recipe for successful – and sustainable – weight loss. The UK’s favourite slimming club surveyed the lifestyle habits of its most successful slimmers, the target members who have lost weight and kept it off for at least 12 months.

It found most people had seven habits in common and dubbed them ‘the seven secrets of successful slimmers’.

Janet who runs Slimming World groups in Fleetwood, Thornton and Blackpool says: “By learning from other slimmers’ success, and perhaps where they’ve gone wrong with past New Year’s resolutions, people in the Fylde who want to slim down this January can give themselves the best possible chance of achieving their goal.

“Successful weight loss isn’t just about losing weight, it’s about keeping it off too.The key is to make healthy, realistic changes to your lifestyle that you can keep up for the rest of your life.”

Lytham St Annes News

Fylde’s grief at sergeant’s Afghan death

“Sergeant Coupe was in Afghanistan to make life safer for the rest of us and that must never be forgotten.

Fylde’s mayor has paid tribute to Sergeant Nigel Coupe (33) on behalf of the borough.

“The bravery of our troops is something that must never be taken for granted.”

Sergeant Coupe, from St Annes, was killed with five other soldiers on Tuesday 6th March when the Warrior fighting vehicle they were travelling in was destroyed by an improvised explosive device.

Sergeant Coupe was a member of the 1st Battalion, The Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment. The Warrior vehicle was on a routine patrol through the desert when struck by the Taliban device.

The Union Flag is flying at half-mast at the town hall.

Councillor Howard Henshaw, mayor of Fylde, said: “The whole of the nation owes a debt to Sergeant Coupe and the whole of Fylde will be thinking of his family and friends.

“Words can be of little comfort at a time like this – but everyone has the deepest admiration for the men and women who put themselves in harm’s way for the benefit of others.
