Campaign to retain former police building The sale of the distinctive red-bricked police house on Telegraph Road has been held up over calls for it to be listed.

Merseyside Police effectively moved out of the building three years ago, citing budget pressures. This meant that the station has been largely unmanned and a sign outside instructs visitors to call a switchboard number Now, the Heswall Society want to preserve the building, which dates back to 1911, by having it listed. The society understands that marketing has been suspended pending the outcome. Preliminary feedback hasn’t been encouraging, hence the Society has appointed specialist consultants Donald Insall Associates to advise on how the Society might be able to strengthen its case.

If you think it’s important to keep the building, please contact the society at webmaster@ heswallsociety.org.uk.

How are decisions made on my behalf if I lack capacity?

Jackie Campion explains the background of the Mental Capacity Act If you lack capacity to make a decision, there’s a law called the Mental Capacity Act (MCA) that sets out how your doctor and those close to you make decisions on your behalf.

The Mental Capacity Act (MCA) The Mental Capacity Act (MCA) has five principles which must underpin everyone’s approach to making decisions on behalf of someone who lacks capacity. l A person must be assumed to have capacity unless it’s proven otherwise. l All practicable steps must be taken to support a person to make a decision. l A person is not to be treated as lacking capacity because they make an unwise decision. l Any decision made on behalf of a person who lacks capacity must be made in their best interests. l Any act done on behalf of a person who lacks capacity must be the least restrictive option.

How decisions are made on your behalf if you lack capacity depends on whether or not you’ve made an Advance Decision (Living Will) or a Lasting Power of Attorney for Health and Welfare (LPA).

The only way to give someone the legal authority to make decisions on your behalf is by making an LPA .

Please contact Jacqueline Campion for a free no obligation meeting.

Hunt for gang who went on the rampage Detectives are appealing for help in tracing a gang of youths believed to be responsible for a burglary and three assaults in Heswall.

A gang of around 20 youths, all believed to be of school age, forced their way into a house in Heythrop Drive on 2nd June. The youths began damaging property, stealing alcohol and threatening the children present.

A 14-year-old girl who lives at the address was punched and one offender spat in her face. As the gang made off from the house they then assaulted a 17-year-old boy in the street.

At around 10.30pm that evening the gang are believed to have caused further disorder and assaulted an 18 year-old man by hitting him in the face with the branch of a tree close to the Tesco store on Telegraph Road.

Detectives are now appealing for anyone with information to get in touch.

Detective Constable Jon Head said: “This was not simply a case of a group of youths

messing around or having a laugh. This was a nasty attack on children enjoying a summer’s evening at home.

“This group forced their way into a house and threatened a number of children before causing damage and assaulting a young girl.

They then continued with their aggressive behaviour assaulting two other teenagers that same evening.

“We believe that although a large group of youths were present the majority of them would be appalled at the behaviour of the minority and I would urge them to come forward to speak to us. I would also ask parents to come forward if they believe their children were involved.

“This type of behaviour will not be tolerated and Merseyside Police will do everything in its power to find those responsible.”

Anyone who has any information can contact DC Jon Head on 0151 777 2246 or Crimestoppers lon 0800 555 111.

GARDENING BY JANET WEEDS

High summer in July J

uly and August are dominated by flowering perennials to bring colour into your garden. Visit one of the flower shows or some of the gardens open in July to get ideas for planting schemes to try at home.

A few shrubs are in flower at this time including the classic Lavender. They revel in gravelly dry soil so are ideal for dry gardens. If you have a wall that needs something to drape over the edge, grow the English Lavender with pale blue flowers and aroma as you brush by. For a complete contrast try Spirea Golden Princess with bright yellow green leaves and magenta pink flowers. This shrub will grow into a low mound, can grow on dry or heavier soils in sun and if it gets too large, cut back hard in February.

Perennial borders need plants of different heights and I recommend Veronicastrum virginicum Fascination growing to 2m tall with spikes of pale pink flowers. With it you can plant Hemerocallis or day lilies with their broad strappy leaves and bright colours from pink to red and yellow. They will grow up to 80cm tall. Another good companion is Phlox paniculata Prospero with pink flowers also a taller grower to 80cm. All these will enjoy a moisture retentive soil in sun. If you have a well drained soil then Lychnis coronaria with felted silver leaves and zingy pink or classy white flowers, is for you.

For those gardens with damp, well drained soil, I would try Monarda didyma or Bergamot, a perennial with shaggy whorls of pink or red flowers up to 70cms.

What to get on with in the garden? Keep pots well watered and stood in saucers to retain moisture.

Cut back your evergreen hedges in July and August so that new growth has a chance to ripen and not be damaged in winter. Prune shrubs that flowered in June such as Deutzia, Weigela and Philadelphus.

If you would like to visit gardens look out for gardens open under the National Gardens Scheme where all proceeds go to charities including Marie Cure Cancer Care and Macmillan Cancer Support.

On 14th and 25th July, 8A Warwick Drive, Altrincham is open.

If you love flower arranging then visit to seek ideas from the herbaceous border and see the new areas developing.

Stretton Old Hall, Tilston, Malpas is open on 15th July and planting is described as “controlled exuberance�. Five acres of gardens divided into discrete areas including herbaceous borders, kitchen garden and scree garden.

Dave and the team have always supported the local community in Irby and the surrounding areas, and played a part in the life and soul of the village and love being there,

Dave commented “We recognised Irby as a great place to stay and grow in, we like the space we are in.

We’ve taken on 2 apprentices and making this significant investment into the building can only improve it.”

“Our new showroom will be completely unique for the Wirral, and will revolutionise the experience of buying a new bathroom for our customers.

And with service and quality and experience that is second to none, your will be sure to find your slice of Bathroom Bliss, right here in the heart of Irby.

A You don’t have to spend a vast amount of money to purchase a Geberit toilet. There are also less expensive models in the range such as the Geberit AquaClean 4000. This compact loo seat is designed to replace your existing loo seat and is straightforward to install, as it fits on the existing seat.

Q Should I be concerned about how much water is used in spray-function toilets?

A The Geberit AquaClean 4000 only uses 400ml of water at each use, and although this is more than a normal loo, there are positive environmental aspects to this choice, such as using less toilet paper. Water, chemicals and other raw materials are wasted in the production of toilet paper, and while it’s biodegradable, the process still leaves chemical traces in our water supply.

Care home offers flexible summer packages A care home in the Wirral has created three ‘packages’ to offer flexibility to new residents.

The Hazelwell, a luxury residential, nursing, palliative and short-term care home in Heswall, identified that not all potential residents need care every day of the week, or every week of the year like most care homes offer, and so have looked in to how to cater for different needs.

The first package is designed to offer Weekly Short-Term Care. This would be especially beneficial to those being cared for by family members who need respite from their responsibilities or need to work on a few days of the week.

The second package is a solution for people whose main carers might be needing to go away, say for a holiday in the summer for a longer one-off period called Special Short-Term Care. It offers peace of mind to carers, knowing that their loved one is having a holiday of their own, in a very safe pair of hands and a beautiful environment.

The third package is the Summer Special Offer package which is available to new permanent residents only, during the months of June and July.

We have a limited number of rooms for a reduced rate.

As well as deluxe accommodation for 55 residents, The Hazelwell’s facilities include a luxury home cinema room, residents bar, quiet library, chauffeurdriven car, salon and gym and stunning rooftop terrace.

Care home manager Kathryn McGuinness (pictured) said: “At the Hazelwell, we pride ourselves in providing the best care and a friendly, personal service to each of the residents, ensuring that their every need is catered for, whilst also running an involving programme of activities.

“We developed these three packages as we wanted create something for those who might need us on a less regular basis, but who would benefit from all we have to offer here. We look forward to opening our doors to some new, shorter term residents in the next few weeks.”

The Wirral care home which opened on Oldfield Road in Heswall less than two years ago has been rated as ‘good’ by the Care Quality Commission. The Hazelwell was also named in the Top 20 Recommended Care Homes in the North West for 2017 by leading UK care home website, carehome.co.uk.

For more information about the packages on offer at The Hazelwell contact Kathryn McGuinness on 0151 342 9654, email info@thehazelwell.com or visit www.thehazelwell. com 38 To advertise call 01244 350398 www.heswall.com

Hayley’s health and fitness

Don't get fat this summer BBQ and wine on a Friday evening when the sun is out - there has to be nothing nicer.

Few beers and it’s time to relax and tuck into the massive feast of endless meats and nibbles. Us Brits like to take full advantage of the good weather when we have it, making the most of the late evenings with wine and goodies. Here’s how to make it a little less indulgent so we don’t get fat this summer.

Choose lean meats for a BBQ, chicken breasts marinated in a spicy sauce with a salad with no dressing is actually a really good option for healthy eating. Staying away from processed meats such as burgers and sausages is wise but cutting out the buns can save yourself unnecessary calories. Steaks with a sweet potato are another healthier alternative to the processed meats. Portion control is something to be mindful of also.

People often when buying for the weekend treats buy double, even triple the amount they actually will need, yet find it very easy to consume the lot in one sitting. An average cheese burger is 317 calories, hot dogs 155 calories, 90 calories per rib, potato salad is 357 calories per cup, 150 calories per bottle of beer, white wine 121 calories per glass. So, adding this up for an average meal, 1 hot dog, 1 burger, 4 beers, salad 5 ribs that’s without any other bits you might have we’re near to 1,900 calories in one meal without added extras. Add on extra drinks, all your food from the rest of the day and it’s easy to see how weight can creep on.

Exercise is also something that may go out the window when the weather is nice. Do you

go to your regular exercise when it’s 30 degrees outside answer is probably no! However, work hard in the week and the weekends might not be so bad. Skip the hard work in the week and over indulge at the weekends and it’s no wonder your hot pants are feeling a little tighter. It’s useful to get your old summer clothes out a few months before the summer months to allow time to see where you re at. If work needs to be done this gives you time to get sorted and get yourself back on track, trying to squeeze back into last year’s clothes when you only have two weeks to do it in isn’t the best idea.

So be mindful of portions, how much you have already consumed throughout the day and about picking the healthier options. Exercise and stay committed and don’t use the weather as an excuse to skip training!

BOOKS with LINGHAM’S BOOKSTORE, HESWALL

By Kerry Keight

JULY - LET THE SUNSHINE IN! It is great that we have been able to throw open the shutters and blinds and let the beautiful sunshine in! Hopefully you are planning your holidays for the coming summer months and in anticipation our SUMMER READS are in place and if you buy 2 books you get a third half price! Gosh all this excitement is making me giddy!

Linghams has a fantastic schedule of events and here they are: 4th July - Elizabeth Brookes; 7th July - Gill Sims; 11th July - Andy Grant; 13th July - Jess Kidd; 16th July - Dan Toombs (The Curry Guy); 19th July - Gina Kirkham; 24th July - Shari Lapena.

STOP PRESS - STOP PRESS: We are very excited to have an event with Kate Atkinson 17th Sppt as always pop into the shop for more information or check our website linghams.co.uk GILL SIMS – WHY MUMMY SWEARS

JANE HARPER – FORCE OF NATURE Jane Harper’s amazing best seller The Dry was in the TOP TEN bestseller list for a very long time and rightly so. Harper is a brilliant crime writer and she has done it again with this follow up.

Aaron Falk is back and his latest case involves the disappearance of a corporate whistle-blower and for those of you who were blown away with The Dry this new book will not disappoint.

Hands up if you were one of those mums who suddenly found yourself a member of the PTA of your child’s school without even being aware that the friendly conversation you were having with a “mum” was actually the chair of the PTA and you had just agreed to help organise the Christmas Fete and Summer Fair . Oh my gosh I can really relate to this book, such a hoot – when my son said he was old enough to walk to and from school by himself was the happiest day of my life (if only I had changed my phone number at the same time)! We will be having the lovely Gill Sims giving a talk and signing books at Heswall Hall 7th July!

BRITTA TECKENTRUP – UNDER THE SAME SKY Gorgeous illustrations adorn this lovely book about the diversity of the animal kingdom and hints how we should all be singing the same song if we are to survive. The clever use of cut-outs that you use to peep through and see the animals embracing their differences while celebrating what they have in common. Utterly charming.

Summer is here and it’s time to get your outside space in order. Why not give us a call, and we can give you some great ideas to improve your home’s kerb appeal.

Why should you install a Resin Drive?

That’s simple; our product naturally drains water through it which means no puddles. Also with a slip resistant surface it provides better traction for tyres and gives more grip for when you walk on it, making your drive a safe place to be!
