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.

From steel poles to timber poles Wood and fire are a potent mix, but for Stewart Healy, it’s all part of the day job.

For Stewart has married opening a new timber business with his on call duties as a retained firefighter at Lytham’s fire station.

He opened Lytham Timber, based at The Mill in Boundary Road and said ‘It feels good to bring a much needed trade back to the town. I used to work for Lytham Timber when they were originally based in Lytham on Duck Road. I then went to join the fire service in 2002 as a retained fire fighter and set up my own joinery business too.’

He went on to say ‘When Kensington Developments started work on Lytham Quays the business was bought out and we moved to Whitehills Business Park in Blackpool near B&Q, we traded for four years but the business closed last year. I saw it as a fantastic opportunity to bring it back to Lytham, I felt it was one of those things missed in the town, I see it as a service for the people of Lytham. Being a retained service member I am on call seven days a

week but this is my main job day to day.’

Stewart, who has 15 years experience as a tradesman and lives with his wife Rosamund and sons Max and Oliver, said ‘The timber business provides an extensive range of timber, sheet materials, iron mongery, hardware, paints, decorating and building materials. It also offers a free delivery service, free cutting service on all wood and sheet material and will take specialised machine work orders.’

The trade store is open from 7:30am to 5pm, Monday to Friday and 10am to 1pm Saturday. For more information contact Lytham Timber on 01253 784581

Lytham St Annes News

More improvements planned for reopened pool Plans are taking shape to give refurbished St Annes Pool a new external look to boost its appeal to visitors and residents.

She continued ‘There may also be opportunities Work will start soon to appoint two artists whose brief will involve engaging the community and swimmers to design new signage through town and landscaping between the pool and South Promenade. Once their improvement plans are completed, Fylde Council will then submit a bid for Arts Council cash to fund the works.

to signpost the pool in the town centre. There may even be some works of public art – we won’t know until the artists and the public have gathered their thoughts and reported back to us.

The bottom line is that their work must give the pool a distinctive and eye-catching look for the future.’

Councillor Sue Fazackerley, Fylde Council cabinet member for Leisure and Culture, said ‘The Arts Council has already given us £12,000 to fund the artists and the community involvement to come up with long-term plans to boost the appeal of the pool. It is a blank sheet of paper at this stage.

Schools can get involved, swimmers can get involved: anyone will be welcome to submit their ideas. We’ll ask them to look at the pool’s external walls. Could they be used for murals? We want them to explore opportunities for visual pointers to link the pool to the main road and the avenue entrance.

The pool, which is run by Fylde Coast YMCA on behalf of Fylde Council, reopened in January after a £625,000 refurbishment to changing rooms, the spectator area and café and entrance/reception area.

John Cronin, YMCA Executive Director, added ‘The re-development of the entrance, reception and spectator area has lifted the entire feel of the building. It’s already more welcoming and open with clear views of the pool which will inspire people of all ages and abilities to swim more and be more active. This new creative dimension added to the exterior and surrounding landscape will really enhance the visibility and appeal of the centre, capturing the important role it will continue to have in improving the health and wellbeing of the whole community.’

Quarter Millennial Celebrations at Lytham Hall Lytham Hall is celebrating the 250th anniversary since the completion of the Georgian mansion, regarded as one of the finest in Lancashire.

Hall chiefs are gearing up to mark the milestone with a busy New Year of activities in the hall and grounds. Work is set to start on the £5.9 million restoration project of the former ancestral home of the Squires of Lytham, the Clifton family. There are plenty of crowd-pulling events in the Hall’s calendar, with many more events to be added!

Lytham St Annes News

Project manager Simon Thorpe said ‘We’re celebrating 250 years since the completion of the Georgian Hall and we’re starting the Heritage Lottery Fund project in earnest. Visitors will start seeing a difference in the historic parkland, we’ll be taking a closer look at the archaeology around the courtyard area and we’ll be preparing the Hall for restoration work set to take place in 2015.’

42

A £2.5m Heritage Fund grant was awarded in 2010 and a further £1m has been raised by local fund-raising and grants, but more more will be needed to cover the cost of internal renovations and the addition of a visitor centre.

Hall Activity Plan Officer Marianne Blaauboer added ‘This is the time to participate, in whichever way you choose; by visiting the tearoom as you take the dog (or the family!) for a walk, joining in one of our events, visiting the Hall, regular volunteering or on a project-basis, sponsoring the project: there’s so many ways in which you can make a difference.’
