COMMUNITY RALLIES TOHELP FAMILY AFTER BL AZE

A FAMILY from Seaforth havespoken of how they managedto escape a blaze at their homewith the help of neighbours.

And now the community is ral-lying round to help them repairtheir devastated property onBeaconsfield Road following theblaze on the morning ofThursday, July 12.

Paul Scott, 60, lives at thehouse with partner Marion Meesand his 80-year-old father Keith.

Paul, a former firefighter, wasreturning from an errand for his partnerwhen he saw smoke coming from anupstairs window.

Two neighbours, who had seen the flamescoming from the property ran into the burn-ing building to rescue Keith.

Paul was concerned for Marion as she suf-fers from a neurological condition and sowas unable to get out of the house on herown .

So he used his experience as a former fire-fighter to run into the building to save her.

Paul said: “I ran in and shut the door onthe fire and crawled to Marion’s room to gether out.”

The three then had to watch in horror asthe blaze raged on with firefighters battling

the flames for more than five hours.Keith and Paul are now staying in friend's

and relatives' homes, while Marion is still inhospital after suffering smoke inhalation.

The fire caused the roof and bedroom ceil-ings to collapse, leaving piles of debris andrubble in the upstairs, while smoke dam-aged the downstairs carpets and furniture.

The family had spent £20,000 on renovat-ing the house over the past few years,including a new roof space, bathroom andcarpets. Unfortunately they don't haveinsurance to cover the cost of the damage.

Paul told the Champion: “The house hasbeen in the family for more than 100 yearsand treasured family possessions and familyhistory are gone.”

Police wary of upsurge inscrambler bike menaceduring school holidays

A POLICE operation to target scramblerbikes has been a success with fewerreports of nuisance behaviour byyoungsters on off-road motorbikes.

But officers fear there could be anupstage during the school summer holi-days.

As part of Operation Brookdale, morethan 300 bikes have been seized this yearmany of which have been found to bestolen and have been reunited with theirowners.”

Chief Inspector Gary O’Rourke, wholeads the operation, said: “Reports of theanti-social and nuisance use of off-roadmotorbikes have decreased significantlythis year, which is extremely encouragingfor us and our communities, some ofwhom have been blighted by the issue.

“However, we know the problem has notgone away and could rise again during theschool summer holidays.

“But we are determined to drive downthese numbers even more, until the prob-

lem is completely removed from ourcommunities.”

He added: “Key to all of the good resultswe see is information from the public.

“Our best chance of removing this threatis always to know where bikes are beingstored before they get out on the streets.

“If you know where bikes are beingstored, either in homes, storage units orelsewhere, please come forward and wewill act on all information provided.”

“This reduction is not down to luck, it isthe result of a concerted effort acrossmany different agencies, from localauthorities, schools, youth groups, hous-ing associations, and not least peoplewithin the communities affected.

“We know some areas still suffer fromproblems but we see success on a dailybasis, with officers acting on informationto remove these bikes from the streets. Asyou can see, it makes a difference.”

“It’s so upsetting. We didn’t have insurance so Id o n’t know what we are going to do.

“We have already spent more than £1,000 juston skips to help get all the rubble out of thehouse.”

The family have been given support from loc-als, however, and after reports of the fire wasposted on social media, local builders have beengetting in touch to offer their services.

A property restoration firm, called The ForshawGroup, have already offered their help, and areurging other local companies to help.

C h i l d re n’s nursery toclose due to cash crisis

A CHILDREN’S nursery in Seaforth is set toclose due to a cash crisis with the headteacherrevealing the “h e a r t b re a k i n g ” decision topupils and parents.

Sand Dunes Nursery School, which was formedin the 1940s to look after youngsters from two tofive years old, could close its classrooms for a finaltime in July 2019.

Headteacher Hayley Stoba believes it will bedevastating for the community, as the nursery isunlike most others as it caters for children withadditional needs and those from social care.

She said: “For several years now we have beenstruggling to retain a balanced budget but I feel itis of utmost importance that people are aware ofthe effect that Sand Dunes not being a part of thisvulnerable community is going to have.

“Most children who attend Sand Dunes are vul-nerable and have external involvement either fromSocial Care or SENIS (Sefton Council's team tosupport children with special educational needs).

“Sand Dunes has a newly refurbished purposebuilt premises which means that providing for chil-dren with additional needs is a lot easier.

“Removing this type of service from the com-munity will be such a loss.

“Despite looking at reducing costs throughout thenursery, the challenges facing us are just toomuch.

“We cannot set a sustainable budget whichmeans Sand Dunes will no longer be financiallyviable in future.

“Very reluctantly the Governing body have had toinform Sefton Council that we will have to start theformal process of consulting on the proposed clos-ure of the nursery school in July, 2019.”

Ms Stoba also told the Champion how it hasaffected the staff, pupils and their families.

She added: “This has been totally devastating foreveryone involved and it is heartbreaking for thewhole nursery community.

“The welfare of our pupils, their families andstaff will be our main priority during this difficulttime.

“Sand Dunes Nursery School is well-establishedwithin the area and has been part of the immediatecommunity for over 80 years.

“Sand Dunes provides a very strong support net-work for all our families, not only providing highquality education and care for children in the crit-ical early stages of their development butsupporting parents in numerous ways which

include educational advice, support and generalguidance which our families need and rely upon.

“All our staff are fully trained, often beyond therequirements for their role and they have anabundance of Early Years expertise, longevity ofservice and experience.”

Sand Dunes Nursery School relocated to its cur-rent location, on Caradoc Road, in 2008 after theysaw the need to expand.

They are currently based in the same building asSeaforth Children's Centre, which is not affected bythis closure.

It comes in the same week that StreathamSchools in Blundellsands closed for the final time.

The independent school closed this month after93 years due to falling pupil numbers.

Rat run road set to beblocked off permanently

A RAT run in Thornton will be perman-ently blocked off at one end following atrial period by Sefton Council.

There will be no entry to EdgemoorDrive for motorists at its junction withMoor Lane, in a decision which is boundto split opinion among both drivers andlocal residents.

The decision follows a consultation withresidents and a temporary closure wasimplemented in January to see how itwould pan out.

During the trial blockage, locals weredivided on whether it resulted in a better

flow of traffic on the busy Moor Lane.Residents who lived in the Thornton

estate were also split, as some welcomedquieter roads but others claimed it tooklonger to travel towards Crosby withoutaccess onto Moor Lane.

Sefton Council has published a reporton its website detailing the decision toopt for a permanent block at the junc-tion .

They say the main reason for makingthe move permanent is due to a majorityof residents being in favour of the planfollowing the consultation.

The report states: “The results of thatconsultation show that a majority ofrespondents are in favour of retaining theclosure and traffic monitoring has shownthat there has been a balance of positiveand negative impacts on local traffic.

“Respondents to the consultation citedthat they had experienced improvementsin safety, reductions in speeding,

improved road safety, reduced air pollu-tion and reduced noise pollution, duringthe trial closure.

The traffic monitoring confirmed thatthere had been a marked reduction in theamount of traffic entering and exiting theestate as a whole.

“The further work needed to address theimplications and impact of the prohibi-tion of driving at the junction ofEdgemoor Drive and Moor Lane will bethe subject of future briefings to CabinetMember Locality Services and updates forthe public via the council's website.

“Extensive consideration whichinvolved a great deal of detailed discus-sion and deliberation by cabinetmembers, ward councillors and officerswas given to reopening the road tothrough traffic but it was considered det-rimental to those living in the Thorntonestate and not in line with the results ofthe monitoring and consultation.”

Council say consultationshowed most residents infavour of retaining closure

Plan to turn former pubinto takeaway rejectedPLANS to transform a closed downpub in Seaforth into a takeawayhas been rejected by Sefton Coun-cil – because they say there arealready too many in the area.

As reported in the Champion lastmonth, the former Seaforth Castlehad been targeted by a developerwho wanted to change part of thederelict building into a new foodbusiness, but last week it was dis-missed by Sefton Council.

A report published by the localauthority states: “It is consideredthat the proposed hot foodtakeaway would create an unac-ceptable grouping of similar usesand cause significant harm to theliving conditions of the dozens ofneighbouring properties whichadjoin and face the site.”

The planning application alsoreceived objections from local res-idents, who claimed it would leadto an increase in litter and anti-social behaviour in the area.

The closed-down Seaforth Castle,which is on Seaforth Road, brieflyre-opened in November 2008 after

a £50,000 renovation – despite a77-name petition claiming reopen-ing the pub would encourage drugdealing and anti-social behaviour.

The following summer it wasfirebombed and extensive damagewas caused to the inside of thep ro p e r t y.

In 2012 there was another large-scale fire at the building withpolice believing it was targeted byarsonists.

Port welcomes itsbiggest ever ships

PORT of Liverpool will wel-come its biggest ever shipsafter two transatlantic con-tainer services switched tothe city.

Shipping firm 2M (Maerskand MSC alliance) has intro-duced a new transatlanticcontainer service to the£400million deep-water con-tainer terminal, Liverpool2,which began on Sunday, July22.

At the same time, MaerskLine’s South American ser-vice, Colombia Express, willalso start calling at the port ofLiverpool, exporting UK goods to Newark, USA.

Liverpool will be the final port of call for bothweekly services as they head westbound across theAt l a n t i c .

The ships will load UK export cargo such as Scotchwhisky, food products and trade machinery.

The new services will also see the Port of Liver-pool open up direct links with the US ports ofCharleston, South Carolina and Savannah, Georgia.

Peel Ports chief executive Mark Whitworth said:“This demonstrates the impact which our invest-ment in Liverpool2 has had in re-shaping UKlogistics, and disrupting traditional approaches toshipping.

“It is also testament to the progress we’ve made atLiverpool and the efforts we’ve made to strengthenour relationships with major lines.

“Our objective is now to secure these or similarservices in the long-term by delivering the cost,congestion and carbon emission benefits that Liver-pool2 in particular will offer shipping lines and

cargo owners.”Michael Forde of Kingsland Drinks said: “As one of

the largest UK wine importers, this is great news forour business. It means we’ll be able to ship moregoods closer to our bottling, storage and distribu-tion facilities in the north west, allowing us tomaintain our reliable and cost-effective service forthe benefit of our customers.”

Asbjorn Kops, trade director of Maersk said: “Afterresuming a service in Liverpool two years ago, via afeeder connection, we have been able to offer flex-ibility to our customers in the North West region.”

The TA2 and Colombia Express routes will use arange of vessels up to 8500 TEU.

The larger vessels will call at Liverpool2 withsmaller vessels using Royal Seaforth Container Ter-minal.

Earlier this year Peel Ports introduced a railfreight service directly from the Port. It is now theonly major UK container terminal to offer tri-modalconnectivity, with road, rail and water, theManchester Ship Canal, plus short-sea shipping.

Bigger ships like the one inset will now call at the Port of Liverpool.

Flytipping warning afterfurniture left dumpedoutside recycling centreFLYTIPPERS who couldn'tbe bothered to properlydispose of unwanted fur-niture instead dumped itoutside South SeftonRecycling Centre.

Three couches and a bedwere found left at theentrance to the Bootlefacility on Monday, July16, which has promptedan investigation by SeftonCouncil's EnvironmentalOfficers.

The local authority arenow reminding locals oftheir “duty of care” when itcomes to getting rid oflarge items from theirhomes.

Many residents hire thirdparties to take awayboth furniture and evenhousehold waste, but most do not know the rules andregulations that cover these types of waste disposal.

By law, individuals are required to make sure theindividuals or firm removing their waste is author-ised to do so and is registered with the EnvironmentAgency as an official waste carrier.

If flytipped waste is traced back to a particularproperty, the householder could be fined if they can-not properly identify who they used to get rid of theirwaste.

Similarly, residents should also be cautious of anydoor-to-door salespeople offering their services forwork to be done on or around a property.

Cllr Paulette Lappin, Sefton Council’s CabinetMember for Regulation and Compliance, said:“Recently we have experienced issues with membersof the public not complying with their legal respons-

ibilities to ensure any waste they produce is removedby a registered carrier.

“This can be from a doorstep call, social media orshop noticeboard but the responsibility is with thehousehold to check they are legitimate first beforethey employ them.

“Too many residents are employing people to takewaste away which is then being flytipped in the bor-ough.

“Householders are required to make a simple checkwith the Environment Agency in order to ascertain ifthe person that they are passing their waste to is aregistered waste carrier. Ask to see their waste carrierlicense issued by the Environment Agency or contactthe Environment Agency directly on 08708 506 506and ask for a free instant Waste Carrier ValidationCheck. Alternatively you can check online on theEnvironment Agency website.

Conmen pretendingto be British Gasworkers stole £4,000from elderly couple

AN elderly couple from Bootle were left devast-ated after bogus workmen tricked their way intotheir home and stole £4,000.

The couple who are in their 80s, were duped by agang of four men when one distracted them as theother three ransacked the upstairs of the house andstole a safe which contained the cash.

They managed to get into the home, on ThackerayGardens, by claiming they were from British Gasand needed to check their gas supply.

The couple's son, Jim Reardon, said: “A man onhis own has knocked on the door and my mumanswered. He claimed to be from British Gas andsaid the road was going to be dug up, so he neededto check their gas.

“My mum let him in and they went to the back ofthe house to get my dad, who was in the backgarden .

“As they've gone in he left the door slightly openso three of his mates could get in. He then distrac-ted my mum and dad by talking as they searchedupstairs for whatever they could find.

“He kept looking back towards the front door andas soon as he saw his mates had left he shut up andjust said ‘that’s all you need to know - I need to go’and basically ran out the house.

“My dad got a bit suspicious and watched the menwalk to the end of the road. I’m not sure if they thengot into a vehicle but we think they were in a whitevan .

“My dad then went upstairs and realised what had

happened. He had been saving up the money for along time and wanted to use it to pay for hisfuneral.

“They are both devastated and don't want this tohappen to anyone else.

“Hopefully by reading this other elderly people inthe area can be more careful and won’t let strangersinto their homes.”

The theft happened at around 2pm on Wednes-day, July 18 and police are asking anyone withinformation to come forward to help their investig-ation .

Detective Constable Adam Dagnall said: “We haveforensically examined the house and continue toconduct CCTV and other enquiries in the area butwould appeal to anyone who may have any inform-ation about this incident, to get in contact.

“I believe someone knows who is responsible forthese offences and I would urge you to contact us,even anonymously.”

One of the offenders is described as white, around35-40 years and around 5ft 8in tall. He had darkshort hair and was wearing an orange hi-vis vestover a dark blue jacket and blue trainers. The othertwo men are not described, other than one being ofstocky build.

Anyone with any information about this incidentis asked to contact @MerPolCC, 101 or@CrimestoppersUK on 0800 555 111.

It comes only a week after the Champion printed awarning to residents after a spate of incidents insouth Sefton with workers trying to con elderlypeople. The Champion reported last week how aman in his 70s from Litherland was tricked into giv-ing bogus workmen money after they claimed tohave done work to his home.

Warning over town’s‘evil air rifle cat killer’

CAT owners in Maghull are beingwarned after several pets havebeen injured and even killed afterbeing shot with an air rifle.

It is understood more than 10 catshave been targeted in the area roundWindermere Drive, Patterdale Cres-cent and the Penrith Drive.

Cat owner Jennifer Da Costa toldthe Champion she discovered thebeloved family pet Mo had been shotas she was leaving the house to takeher children to school on Tuesday,July 17.

The one year old cat, named Moafter Liverpool striker Mo Salah, hadbeen shot in the face.

When she took him to the vets the X-rays found the pellet had shotthrough his face fractured two teethand was embedded under histongue.

“They managed to remove it and heis currently taking antibiotics and onpain relief.”

Ms de Costa added: “Our lovely cathas been severely hurt. He was shotin the face by an air-riffle causing alot of damage and pain.

“After speaking to the neighbours, wehave heard that this has also happenedto their cats and unfortunately their

cats have died.”She urged people to report all incid-

ents to the police and the RSPCA.She added: “If your cat appears in

pain it could be because of this evil

person with an air rifle.“The pellet in my cat could not

be felt and it was only the X-raythat showed all the damage andthe pellet.

“So please be extra careful let-ting your cats play out. My catuses his cat litter everyday andonly goes to explore in close sur-rounding gardens.

“We can’t understand how any-one can be so cruel.

“Myself, my husband and youngchildren are absolutely devast-ated about what has happened.

“I would like to thank all thelovely people in this communityfor all their kind words on socialmedia It has been very comfort-ing.”

Another resident John Johnsonadded: “Cats have been killed,lost or mortally wounded. Howcan someone get away withsomething like this.

“Our next door neighbourshave lost cats because of this.”

The RSPCA are investigatingthe incident and a spokespersonsaid they are calling for tightercontrols on air weapons.

She added: “Unfortunately, airrifle attacks are not as rare aswe would like. These weaponscause horrific pain and suffer-ing and it is illegal.

“Anyone caught deliberately using anair gun to injure an animal can be upto six months in prison and/or anunlimited fine if found guilty under theAnimal Welfare Act.”

Mo was shot in the face with an air rifle.

Missed call scam couldcost mobile phone users

A FARM worker who lives in the area is warningmobile phone users of a scam that could landthem with a hefty bill after he was charged morethan £4 per minute for contacting a missedc a l l e r.

Richard Rimmer from Scarisbrick says he received69 missed calls over a two day period and when hetried to phone two of the numbers back to find outwho they were he was charged premium rate.

One of the numbers with a +24 prefix (code forSeychelles) was charged at £1.66 per minute andthe other number which had a +88 prefix (code forTaiwan) was charged at £4.16 per minute.

Mr Rimmer was charged £28 by his provider EE forthe brief calls he made. Thankfully after being con-tacted by the Champion, EE has said they will refundhim the money.

Richard, 44, said that when he called the numbersback he heard a recorded message in one case andthe voice of a woman laughing in the other.

He believed the scammers tried to keep him on thephone for as long as possible.

“Even though I am blocking the numbers on myphone, they can still get through,” he said, “Becausewhen you block one number they start ringing onanother similar number with just a digit or two dif-f e re n t .

“The phone calls have been at midnight and 3am,right through the whole day. It’s unbelievable!

“Other people need to know about it so that theyare not going through what I am going through.”

It is believed that Richard was the victim of a scamknown as wangiri, which originated in Japan.

Wangiri is Japanese for ‘one [ring] and cut.’Scammers rely on mobile phone users naturally

ringing callers back when they receive a missed calland lines are then unsuspectingly transferred to apremium rate line.

Fraudsters are said to operate on an industrialscale, using automated dialling machines to workthrough huge ranges of phone numbers, callingthousands every minute.

A spokesperson for EE said: “We have refunded MrRimmer the full £28 charge incurred, and we askthat customers contact their operator and ActionFraud if they think they have been victims of fraud.

“We actively block all numbers we believe to beinvolved in this type of fraud, and block new num-bers as soon as we’re aware of them.

“We also urge everyone to be cautious when call-ing back unknown callers, especially from the 0843and 0845 number ranges.”

Advice to avoid being scammed by a wangirifraudster is not to answer a call from an overseasnumber unless you know who it is from; don't callback a missed call from overseas number; informyour mobile operator of any suspicious looking over-seas numbers you miss calls from; and use an appthat filters out unwanted calls and text messages.

Scammers hang up after just one or two rings.When people call back they are routed to apremium rate phone number.

Charity shop has raised£700,000 for world’sneedy in its 25 years

A CHARITY shop in Water-loo has celebrated its 25year anniversary.

The CAFOD shop, on StJohn's Road, opened itsdoors for the first time inJune 1993 and is still thecharity's only shop in theUK

CAFOD (Catholic ActionFor Overseas Develop-ment), is an internationaldevelopment charity and itsmain director, Chris Bain,travelled from London tothe Waterloo store lastweek to help celebrate withvolunteers.

Shop director, Geoff Far-rell, said: “Some membersfelt opening the shop wastoo big a risk as any finan-cial loss would be borne byindividual members asCafod London made it clearit was a local initiative.“However, any disagreement was resolved and theidea became a reality.

“The Shop was opened in June 1993 and was, andis, the only Cafod charity shop in The British Isles.

“The first donation to Cafod London at the end of1994 was £22,500 with the help of 15 unpaidvolunteers.

“By 2011 the total donated had reached£500,000. This was half a million pounds, twoyears in advance of what was predicted. By July

2016 the total donated had reached the magical fig-ure of £700,000.

“Despite an exodus of volunteers, Wendy Francis-Rowe along with 22 unpaid volunteers have keptthe shop afloat and at the end of 2017 the totaldonations had increased to £740,000.

“This gives a yearly average of £30,825. It is awonderful achievement and those involved over 25years should realise what a benefit this has been forthe needy of this world.”

Some of the staff and volunteers including Trustee Geoff Farrell andDirector Chris Bain.

PICTURE of the week

Lady Lancelot thrilled visitors to last weekend’s Green Fayre at Beacon Country Park when the Cavalry of Heroes team staged a spectaculardisplay of Medieval Jousting. Picture by Martyn Snape.

I was wrong to drop cigarette onground but fine was too muchI work in Bootle, and I'm not slagging off theplace but there’s a few shady characters thathang around the Strand shopping centre.

I went outside the other day to take a fiveminute break due to the current hot weather.

I had a cigarette, and yes I put it out withmy foot.

I know I should have disposed of it else-where but does that really warrant being readyour rights by some jobsworth who works forSefton Council?

Seriously, he had literally been waiting topounce.

He actually read me my rights!The fine was £75, £50 if I paid it within 10

days.If I didn't pay it would be a £2,000 fine and

court appearance with criminal record.Re a l l y ?

I offered to pick my cigarette butt up but Iwas told I had to pay the fine.

The person who collared me kept going onabout cleanliness but he wouldn't let me pickit up and he never picked it up he just wantedto fine me.

Ok I agree littering is not on but seriously,did he really need to read me my rights?

I felt like I was being arrested while yobs onscrambler bikes are given a free reign andnothing happens to them.

They are left to wreak havoc.Come on Sefton Council, maybe a verbal

warning would have sufficed.

Merseytravel don’t listen topassengers over bus timesI read an article in your paper statingthat Merseytravel take on board passen-ger views.

This is something I totally disagreewith.

For some time now the 300 and 310bus route timetable have them arrivingin Maghull within minutes of each other.

When I am on my daily walk I oftensee them at the same bus stop at thesame time or one leaving the stop as theother is arriving.

The bus runs every half hour is prob-ably for economic reasons.

I do not understand why they both runon the same timeline and cannot havethem running with separation in time of15 minutes between the two routes.

For example the 300 runs on the hour

and half hour whilst the 310 runs onthe quarter past and quarter to theh o u r.

Recently Merseytravel have changedtheir circular routes which now means itarrives within a few minutes of theother two.

There may well be five buses arrivingin Maghull per hour but passengers onlyhave the two narrow time limits to getthe buses per hour.

If you miss them you need to waitnearly half an hour till the next buscomes.

Housing associations won’t helpyou deal with bad neighboursTrying to have a decent neighbourhood is veryhard when you have a bad neighbour in it whohas no consideration for anyone but himselfthe authorities are useless when you ask themfor help.

Dog wardens promise everything delivernothing.

Councillors are too busy sipping tea and get-ting there pictures in papers like this oneinstead of doing their job.

Housing associations fob you off at everyturn .

You can run any business you like from oneof there properties and do what you like itseems as long as you pay the rent and sod

everyone else. You hit a brick wall with all ofthem no matter how much you or your otherneighbours complain.

Look at their websites and they promise totry and make communities happy places to livein .

What a joke.None of them are interested in anyone but

themselves.Anyone else come up against this brick wall

like I and my neighbours have?

Fu r i o u s ,Seaforth,

Some dog owners are soselfish and inconsiderateWhy are some dog owners so selfish andinconsiderate?

Some dogs bark non-stop when left in agarden to annoy everyone.

But even worse is living near them. How stu-pid to teach a dog to howl so it howls andbarks when left alone in the house (which isoften).

Then when somebody goes to the door itstands there barking non-stop.

This is so very ignorant.It’s the same when you go for a walk and

dogs off their leads run at you.The owners say: “It’s alright, they are only

being friendly.”How do we know that? We are not all dog

lovers. Just stop and think for a change.There is a simple answer, just train and dis-

cipline them.T h e re ’s no need for dogs to bark all the

time.True dog lovers have them under control.As for the rest, half the time these dogs are

just an accessory and the owners can’t evenbe bothered to walk them.

All new homes in Seftonto be fitted with electriccar charging points

NEW houses across Seftonwill all have electric vehiclecharging points as standardin the future.

Sefton Council hasapproved a requirement, con-tained in the New HousingSupplementary Planning Doc-ument, which means that allnew housing developmentswith dedicated parking willhave to provide at least oneelectric vehicle chargingpoint.

For housing with communalparking, at least one in 10parking spaces must providean electric vehicle chargingpoint.

The Sustainable Travel andDevelopment Supplementary Planning Docu-ment also contains a requirement forcommercial developments to provide chargingpoints.

This comes as part of the council’s actionplan to reduce air pollution across the bor-ough by providing better infrastructure forelectric vehicles to support the transition awayfrom polluting diesel and petrol cars.

It is hoped that the new approach willencourage the use of electric vehicles and inturn reduce the air pollution caused by dieseland petrol car emissions as well as helping toreduce carbon emissions.

Cllr Daren Veidman, cabinet member for

planning and building control, said: “This verywelcome initiative shows Sefton Council’scommitment to creating an environment thatis ready for the future by providing infrastruc-ture that supports electric vehicles.

“It will help to encourage the use of electricvehicles and reduce the harmful pollutionemitted from petrol and diesel cars."

Cllr Paulette Lappin, cabinet member forregulatory, compliance and corporate services,added: “I am delighted we are requiring newdevelopment to provide electric vehicle char-ging points, it will have a positive impact onthe health of Sefton residents and will contrib-ute to the fight against air pollution.”

Homelessman madethreat tokill horsesat sanctuary‘in act ofd e s p e r a t i o n’

A MAN has appeared in court for threateningto kill horses at Thornton’s Shy Lowen Horseand Pony Sanctuary.

Jim Evans, 20, of St Catherines Road,Bootle, had previously volunteered at theequine rescue centre and had been helped bythe founder Bernadette Langfield.

He contacted her to ask if he could stay atthe stables when he had no where to stay.He made the threats to kill the horses whenhe was told he couldn’t stay.

Evans appeared at Liverpool Complex CaseCourt on July 18 for sentencing after previ-ously pleading guilty on the day of a trial tosending a communication conveying athreatening message.

Among the messages received through tele-phone and Facebook was the statement:“The horses are getting killed tomorrow andI do not give a s**t.”

Alison Clarkson, prosecuting, read MsLangfield’s victim impact statement whichtold of how she had been deeply upset atthe threats and devastated that someone shehad tried to help would target her in such aw a y.

She said that Evans knows how importantthe horses are to her.

“He used that knowledge to cause me tofear him and to try and control me,” shesaid. “I did not sleep well and even went tocheck on the horses during the night. I wasworried that I would get a call during thenight by emergency services because he hadcarried out his threats.”

Ms Langfield said that she sincerely hopedEvans could sort out his issues. “He wasonce a lovely person, he could have accom-plished much in his life. It makes me feelthat I’ve failed him,” she said.

Solicitor Danielle Gibbons said Evans wentinto custody for 12 weeks the day after hemade the threats. The court heard he hadpreviously been given a suspended prisonsentence.

“The defendant is deeply remorseful abouthis actions,” she said, “The offence occurredduring a difficult time when he was effect-ively homeless.

“It was out of desperation he contacted thecomplainant for somewhere to stay. Hewanted to stay at the stables.

“She refused and quite stupidly he madethe threats. Those threats did not material-ise. He had no intention of doing any harmto her property.”

She added that while Evans had amassed a“fair few” convictions she said they were allcommitted when he was intoxicated. Shesaid there were mental health issues thathad never been addressed.

Sentencing him to 14 weeks custody, sus-pended for 18 months, District JudgeRichard Clancy said: “This is an extremelyserious matter. Basically you were biting thehand that fed you. It is accepted that youdid not intend to carry your threat but youclearly caused distress.

“You did it really out of spite and meannessbecause you could not stay at the stableblock.”

The judge ordered that Evans undertaketen days of rehabilitative activity, pay £265in costs and victim surcharge, and stay awayfrom both the horse sanctuary owner andsanctuary for 12 months.

Coal tar soapwithout thereal thingjust doesn’twash with meFINGS ai n’t wot they used to be.

The catch phrase from a now very old pop song ofthe late 1950s.

And the same applies now as I realised when Icame to take a bath this morning.

For year’s I have used Wright’s Coal Tar Soap mybathtime ablutions - I like the coal tar smell - italmost oozes disinfectant in a pleasant, homelysort of way.

It is long lasting and, I thought, tried and testedover generations.

So I was delighted to be able to buy four tabletsof the soap for theprice of three, theorange, red andwhite wrapper andthe familiar trademark taking meback to my child-hood.

Imagine my dis-appointment whenfor no particularreason I took a closer look at this wrapping - andfound that the wording now says: ‘Tr a d i t i o n a lSoap with coal tar fragrance.’

I’m not certain what this exactly used to say, butI’m pretty sure it used actually claim to be ‘CoalTar Soap.’

The blurb on the back of the packing told methat: ‘Wr i g h t ’s Traditional Soap has been a familyfavourite for over 130 years’ and ‘has retained itsnatural appeal’.

Well, to be fair I wouldn’t argue with that - apartfrom the far less strong aroma of coal tar emanat-ing from it once one has been alerted to have as n i f f.

But once you read the (now compulsory) list ofingredients, of ‘coal tar’ there is no mention so Isuppose the smell is in fact totally fake.

Now I probably will continue to buy Wright's Tra-ditional soap if only because I still like the (nowresidual) smell and it is long lasting.

But this is, I fear, just another ‘not what it used tobe’ item only discovered because of modern trad-ing standards and ‘elf and safety regulations.

Apart from coal tar soap I have always been asucker for chocolate peppermint creams, particu-larly those with dark, as opposed to milk,chocolate.

Now there is a plethora of such chocks on sale -but here the old maxim ‘you get what you pay for’is most certainly true.

You can buy chocolate peppermint creams verycheaply - but beware!

Those ‘b a rg a i n’ peppermints often contain abso-lutely no peppermint whatever - just 'peppermintflavouring’ (Exxx).

Now I realised that long ago and now splash outon more expensive brands (you even get chocolatewith a recognisable amount of cocoa in it).

This ‘ersatz’ approach extends to almost anything- from ‘leather ’ belts and watch straps (which maynot contain any dead cow at all) to your 'real'Omega watch for £20, waterproof to at least asplash from the washing up bowl.

Tell you what though. One place where thingsare very much what they used to be in the Houseof Commons.

I’ve not mentioned Brexit much recently, notleast because the situation seems to change everyday and probably only just over half the popula-tion agree with my views on the matter.

We appear to have a Prime Minister who is nowhell bent on a ‘pragmatic’ solution to our exit deal.

In her two ‘set piece’ speeches on Brexit, MrsMay appeared to be keeping all her balls in the air- now she seems to have lost them.

And if you believe as I do that the quicker weshake the mud from the European Union quagmirethe better, this is catastrophic.

But since her antics don’t seem to have pleasedthe Remainers either, perhaps I should point outthe disastrous, almost fatal for Great Britain, res-ults of the last great appeasement - because thiscountry is within an ace of becoming a vassal stateof the EU and losing a golden chance of a greatnew age where we can all be proud of our heritageand our future.

Heatwave could lead to parts of canal being closedPART of the Leeds and Liverpoolcanal could close for a month unlessthere is significant rainfall.

The Canal and River Trust willclose locks along a 55-mile sectionof the canal from July 30 amid watersupply concerns.

The closure will prevent boatstravelling from Wigan, through Lan-cashire, and up to Gargrave, nearSkipton.

The trust said the closure is likelyto last throughout August.

Trust spokesman Daniel Green-

halgh said it had been “a difficultd e c i s i o n” to close the canal, andthat it had been working with boat-ing businesses to offer alternativero u t e s .

T o help conserve water the Canaland River Trust advise boaters to

share locks where possible andmake the best use of the water avail-able; ensure paddles are fully closedonce passed through a lock; and aimfor minimal contact when navigat-ing through locks by ensuring gatesare fully open as you pass through.

City’sbid forChannel4 HQ isre j e c t e dL I V E R P O O L’S bid to become the new home forChannel 4 has failed.

The Champion has reported how the city was oneof a number of hopeful cities and regions vying to bethe broadcaster’s new headquarters alongside Bris-tol, Cardiff, Glasgow, Greater Manchester, Leedsand the West Midlands.

However, Mayor of Liverpool Joe Andersonrevealed on Monday, July 23 that the city's bid hasbeen unsuccessful, claiming a main reason was dueto transport.

He said: “Sorry to announce Liverpool has notbeen shortlisted for Channel 4 relocation or hub. Ahuge thank you everyone who supported the bid.Sad to be told a big problem was Liverpool notbeing connected transport wise. Exactly why notgetting HS2 link is wrong and short-sighted.”

Channel 4 plans to move 300 of its 800 staff out ofLondon to a national HQ and two “creative hubs”.

The #4ForLiverpool bid was submitted in earlyMay and led by Mayor Anderson and backed by Liv-erpool City Region metro mayor Steve Rotheram.

Channel 4 are to make a final decision on locationof their new HQ and creative hubs in October thisy e a r.

Mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson and metromayor Steve Rotheram had both backed theChannel 4 bid

Rail users urged to avoid EustonRAIL users are being urged to avoidtravelling to Euston for threeweekends this summer.

As part of Britain’s Railway UpgradePlan, Network Rail is replacing NorthWembley junction - a major intersec-tion on Europe’s busiest mixed-userailway. The junction is old and repla-cing it will mean passenger andfreight users will benefit from better,more reliable journeys in future.

Unfortunately doing this vital jobrequires shutting the line. The leastdisruptive time to do this work,jointly agreed by rail industry part-ners, is over the following threeweekends: August 18-19;

August 25-27 (the bank holidayweekend) and September 1 and 2.

The Euston shutdown will impactall services on the West Coast main

line including trains serving Wigan,Penrith, Oxenholme, Carlisle, Lan-caster, Preston, and Blackpool.

Martin Frobisher, managing directorfor Network Rail’s London NorthWestern route said: “There is never anideal time to shut the railway butthese three weekends are the least dis-ruptive times to do it. We have workedtogether for the past three years withtrain operators to carefully plan thisclosure of the railway in a way thatminimises the impact on customers.

“It’s vital the track at North Wemb-ley is replaced to continue to safelymeet the huge demand of passengerand freight rail services on the WestCoast main line. This work will resultin better, more reliable journeys inf u t u re . ”

Peter Broadley, executive director

for customer, operations and safety atVirgin Trains said: “With no servicesinto or out of Euston we stronglyadvise our customers to avoid travel-ling to London on the days affected.We know this will impact on people’s

travel plans, particularly over a bankholiday weekend so we encouragecustomers to plan ahead and wherepossible travel at other times.”

Hospice is now buzzingwith 50,000 honeybees!

THERE is a real buzz around StJoseph’s Hospice following thearrival of 50,000 resident honey-bees!

Staff at the Thornton hospice aredelighted with the new arrivals andsay they are great for the local envir-onment and conservation, as bees aren a t u re ’s best pollinators.

The hospice hopes the bees willeventually generate income throughthe sale of its very own hospice honey.

Local beekeeper, John Ryanapproached the hospice in April as hewas looking for somewhere in thelocal area to start a new hive andknew that the 12 acres of woodlandsurrounding the hospice would beperfect.

As a nature lover hospice chief exec-utive, Mike Parr, thought it was afantastic idea.

He said: “Bees are remarkableinsects and they play a really import-ant role in our diets as they pollinatemost of fruit and vegetables we eat so they are vitalfor stable and healthy food supplies.

“Honey itself has always been regarded as a medi-cine. It has antiseptic properties and, historically,has been used for everything from sore throats anddigestive problems to first aid treatment and evenhay fever so I think a hospice, with all our beautifulwoodland gardens, is the perfect place to have a beehive.”

Mr Ryan added: “I was looking around for a newhobby that would be fun and interesting and alsoproductive and you can make loads of things fromkeeping bees, including honey, candles, mead.

“I went on a beekeeping courserun by the Liver-

pool and Merseyside Beekeepers Association andthe more I have learnt about bees the more fascin-ated I have become. They really are incrediblec re a t u re s .

“I will be taking care of the new hospice bees andwill make sure the hive establishes itself and thatthe bees are healthy.

“It’s a real responsibility looking after bees and Ineed to keep them safe and free from disease andp re d a t o r s .

“Another great thing is that it has opened up awhole new world of dad gifts for my children andgrandchildren. You wouldn’t believe all the bee mer-chandise that you can get these days.”

Beekeeper, John Ryan, introduces hospice chief executiveMike Parr, to their new bees.

Firearms campaign ishailed a success by police

POLICE have hailed the success of twoweeks of action carried out to ensurelegally-held firearms and ammunitionare being correctly and safely stored.

There are currently 16 registered fire-arms dealers on Merseyside, includingsports and gun shops, shooting clubsand armouries, with one being inFormby in the form of Formby GunShop.

In the first week of action firearmsenquiry officers, with the assistance ofuniformed colleagues, visited each of thedealers to ensure legislation around stor-age, ownership and record-keeping wasbeing complied with.

All stock was checked against the deal-ers register and specialist architecturalliaison officers checked that propertieswere secure.

As a result one registered firearmdealer was removed from the registerand their personal firearms certificaterevoked after an insecure weapon andparts were found in their property.

A second dealer was also removedfrom the register and their firearms,shotgun and explosive certificatesrevoked after a quantity of ammunitionwas found to be not stored securely.

In a second week of action 23 firearmsand shotgun certificate owners, whoown multiple weapons, were visited andsecurity checks carried out by officers. Awarning letter was issued to one personwhose explosive licence had expired anda full survey carried out at a propertywhere the security did not meet therequired standard.

Assistant Chief Constable Ian Critchley

said: “We have a responsibility for publicsafety and ensuring that everyone wholegitimately owns a firearm or ammuni-tion is correctly registered and abides bythe legislation.

“This is not about preventing peoplefrom legally holding firearms but aboutensuring firearms are correctly andsafely stored and this activity has beenvery successful in reducing the risk tothe communities of Merseyside.

“Nationally there is concern that law-fully-held firearms are finding their wayinto criminal hands which is why it isimportant that operations such as theseare carried out regularly to identify any-one who is not abiding by the law and indoing so is putting themselves or other

people at risk.“During our second week of action it

became apparent that some certificateholders had become blasé in theirapproach to security of their guns andtheir home, which leaves them in a vul-nerable position and poses a risk topublic safety.

“It also became apparent that theywere not using all of their guns and twocertificate holders have now reduced theamount in their possession – with 10 intotal either being sold or destroyed byMerseyside Police.

“There is ongoing work by certificateholders to continue to reduce theamount of weapons in their possessiondue to them not being used.”

Ammunition seized by police as part of the checks

Drug user grabbed cash from hand of shopperA DRUG USER from Waterloo has appeared incourt for grabbing £100 from the hand of a womanwaiting outside the Asda supermarket in Bootle.

As Kenneth English, 49, of Church Road, appearedat Sefton Magistrates Court on June 13, it was heardthat the 21-year-old woman was standing with themoney near to the ATMs where her mother was with-drawing cash, when English suddenly appeared andgrabbed it from her.

Andrew Page, prosecuting, said that English fled ona mountain bike

The woman attempted to stop him by grabbing his

clothes but fell to the ground as he made off.The court heard that the woman was given assist-

ance by members of the public and store staff.While she was still on the floor one of the staff

informed her that English’s girlfriend was still in thestore. After being approached by the victim’s motherthe girlfriend agreed to wait until police arrived whenshe handed over his details

The court heard the couple had since split up.Probation worker Jackie Dawber said that English

has been taking drugs on and off for 10 years afterbeing introduced to them by a cell mate while serving

a prison sentence.She said he had been attending a drug treatment

centre and taking methadone, which is prescribed tohelp drug users. However, on the day he did not havea prescription for the drug and out of desperation andon the spur of the moment he stole to buy street drugsinstead.

“He can not believe what he has done and he under-stands the impact on the victim,” Ms Dawber said.

Solicitor Rebecca Templeman said it was English’sown fault he did not have the prescription which wasdue to it being the early May bank holiday the day

before. “He accepts this was a deeply unpleasantincident and he is very remorseful for his behaviour,”she said, “He was genuinely embarrassed whenlistening to the facts of the evidence. He offers hisapologies to the victim.”

The magistrates sentenced him to a 12-month com-munity order which included a four-week 7pm-7amcurfew, a nine-month drug rehabilitation program,and between 10 and 15 days of a rehabilitative activ-ity, along with costs and victim surcharge of £170.

He was also ordered to pay his victim compensationtotalling £100.

Drug driver was speedingA WATERLOO woman stopped by police in her VW Golf because ofthe speed she was driving at was more than four times over the limitfor cannabis, a court has heard.

Sinead McCall, 24, of Church Road, appeared at Sefton Magis-trates Court on July 11 where she pleaded guilty to drug driving.

Lynn Clark, prosecuting, said she was pulled over on KnowsleyRoad, Bootle, at 10pm on May 8.

“She came to the officer’s attention as she was traveling at speedahead of the officer’s vehicle,” Miss Clark said, “There was also afront seat passenger and a rear seat passenger at the time.

“It was noticed that there was a strong smell of cannabis and theofficer believed that the defendant was under the influence of drugsdue to her demeanour.”

The court heard McCall failed a road side drug test and was sub-sequently blood tested, which showed that she was driving with 8.7

micrograms per litreof delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (the activeingredient in cannabis) in her blood, the legal limit is 2mcg/l.

Miss Clark said cannabis was also found in the car but thatbelonged to a passenger.

Representing herself, McCall said she was sorry and had no issueswith cannabis.

The magistrates fined her £250, ordered that she pay £115 in costsand victim surcharge and banned her from driving for 12 months.

“It’s a very very dangerous thing to drive while cannabis is in yoursystem,” said Chairman Alan Crossland.

He added: “We have all heard stories of what the consequencescan be. We also have to look at things that aggravate your actions. Asfar as making things worse you had two passengers in the car andyou were driving at speed.But what goes in your credit is your guiltyplea and cooperation.”

Stars show support for netball tournamentTWO England netball stars were in Formby to help support anevent which saw thousands of pounds raised for charity.

Laura Malcolm and Eleanor Cardwell were invited by Crosby-based Winwood Netball Club to a tournament they arranged atFormby High School.

It involved more than 200 youngsters aged between 9-17 whocompeted in the first ever Mark the Memories netball tourna-ment.

It was organised after three young Winwood players lost theirdad, Mark Edwards, to cancer last year so the event raised moneyfor the Mark Edwards Foundation.

Jenney Taylor from Winwood said: “Winwood Netball Clubestablished it’s junior section in 2014 and three of their membersunfortunately lost their dad to cancer last year. In his memory theMark Edwards Foundation has been established to help giftedyoung athletes to be able to pay for sporting equipment that theyc o u l d n’t otherwise buy without the help of this charity.

“His wife, Anna Edwards is also a member of Winwood NetballClub in the adult division and was elated on the day to have Net-ball Super League players and England representatives LauraMalcolm and Eleanor Cardwell in attendance to meet not only herfamily but all of the budding netballers.

“The day was spent with them meeting the girls, signing auto-graphs and asking questions about life as a professional netballer.The final figure raised is not counted yet as donations are stillbeing made, but the day has raised at least £800 for the charity.”

Winwood have been very busy over the last month, and theyalso organised a Fight For Life netball tournament on Saturday,July 7, this time money raised going to the Marina DalglishAppeal. To date they have raised over £10,000 for the charityhaving organised 11 of these tournaments in the past. Onceagain held at Formby High School, over 20 teams and over 160women took part.

Siblings walk 100kmin two days for charityA BROTHER and sister from Crosby walked100km from London to Brighton to raisemoney for charity.

There was no sibling rivalry when James andLucy Hargreaves teamed up for the mammothwalk, which they completed in 26 hours overthe course of two days.

It saw them endure 13 hours of walking oneach day, but the pain was worth the prize as£1,600 in donations will be given to mentalhealth charity Mind.

Lucy said: “We were doing the walk to raisemoney for Mind, the mental health charity, acharity very close to both of our hearts.Between us we managed to raise just under£1,600.

“Everyone was so generous with their dona-tions, I think because mental health issomething that is getting a lot more attentionnow and people are realizing just how manypeople it affects.

“We were both so thrilled to have raised somuch for such a worthy cause. The walk itselfwas really tough and we were lucky with the

weather as it was dry and bright sunshine forthe duration of the challenge.

“There was a really good feeling andcamaraderie between everyone doing the chal-lenge - we got chatting to all sorts of peoplefrom across the country who were all doing itfor different, very worthwhile causes.

“There was always lots of encouragement andsupport from members of the public and peoplewho were out in their gardens or on a weekends t ro l l !

“I was so relieved that I was doing the walkwith my brother. We really kept each othergoing and the feeling of achievement when wecrossed the finish line knowing we had done ittogether was really overwhelming.

“Even though it was physically and sometimesmentally difficult, I would really encourage any-one to give it a go if they want to step out oftheir comfort zone and enjoy some beautifulscenery! We were also looked after so well bythe organisation we did it with, Action Chal-lenge. With snacks, meals, medics and massagesavailable every 12km and all free!”

ENTERTAINMENTShow was ‘another successfor Royal Court regulars’

Mam! I’m ‘e reRoyal Court Theatre, Liverpool

THE same week that Mama Mia 2 arrivedat our cinemas, filled with apreponderance of Abba B-sides, alongcomes Mam! I’m ‘ere to the Royal Court,featuring great disco hits of the 70’s, likeCandi Staton’s Young Hearts Run Freeand September by Earth, Wind and Fire,played by a live four-piece band that hasthe theatre rocking from the openingchords and with not one Abba number insight.

When first staged at the Dome in RenshawStreet, Mam! I’m ‘ere attracted 10,000people and more than double that numberturned up when it was transported to theRoyal Court in 2015, so what better time fora revival?

We are in Boogie Wonderland, a run-downholiday camp on a Welsh island, brilliantlycaptured by Mark Walter’s ascending set.The camp is run by Dave (AndrewSchofield), who is also lead vocalist andmaster of the disco dancing routines.

Dave’s daughter, Sally (Hayley Sheen), isabout to get married but, unlike in the film,it is not her long-lost father that she is hop-ing to meet on her wedding day, but themother she has never known, having beenleft on her Dad’s doorstep when she wasborn .

So, Sally has secretly invited three of Dad’sex-girlfriends from years ago, Brenda,Mandy and Julie (played with great gusto byRoyal Court regulars, Ethne Browne, LynnFrancis and Lindzi Germaine), one of whomshe thinks may turn out to be her mother.

The minute the first chords of Boogie Won-derland boom out, starry lights cascaderound the auditorium, Mia Molloy andRachel Wood, as the Disco Divas, belt outthe lyrics and the party has begun.

Vocal backing is provided by Jake Abra-ham as Teddy, Stephen Fletcher (who alsohappened to write the script, direct and co-produce the play!) as Alf and his brotherMichael (who helped paint the set) as bride-

groom, Si, complete with 70’s Afro wigs.Corny jokes abound, the dancing is frantic,

the laughs echo round the theatre and thereis a great feelgood factor about the placewith the audience enjoying it as much as thecast. In fact, as quite often happens at RoyalCourt comedies, the two are almost indistin-guishable.

Star rating: 8 out of 10. Another successfor the Royal Court regulars.

Top acts perform at annual festival

THIS year ’s Lytham Festival had astrong line up with the entertainmentstarting on the Wednesday with Steps,and acts on other nights included PeteTong, George Ezra, Nile Rodgers and IlDivo.

The sounds of Ibiza came to theFylde coast on the Thursday nightwhen Pete Tong With The HeritageOrchestra conducted by Jules Buckleyperformed.

The supporting act on the night wasBasement Jaxx.

The set included many of the songsfrom the Ibiza Classics and ClassicHouse albums and the highlightsincluded: the Chemical Brothers’sGalvanize, Fatboy Slim’s Right HereRight Now and ATB’s 9pm Till ICome.

Pete Tong knows how to work acrowd and has years of experience ofevents like this. He said to the crowd:“Look at this sunset, its just like beingin Ibiza.”

Becky Hill provided expert vocals onsome of the slower tunes, such asWhere Love Lives and You've Got theL ove.

The night finished with more crowdfavourites in Insomnia by Faithlessand The Prodigy’s Out of Space.

Throughout the evening there wasalso an impressive laser display.

Saturday night at Lytham Festivalwas also another outstanding occa-sion with Soul II Soul, Bananaramaand Nile Rodgers and Chic performing

on the main arena stage.The songs from Bananarama still

sound as fresh today as they did in the1980s and their set included some ofthe greatest hits such as Robert DeN i ro ’s Waiting, Cruel Summer and NaNa Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye).

Nile Rogers and Chic came to thestage and held the audience’s atten-tion during a set which lasted morethan 90 minutes.

They started with the song Every-body Dance which had everyone ontheir feet and that is where mostpeople stayed for the evening.

More hits followed such as I WantYour Love, which was performed byKimberley Davies.

They also played a medley of all thesongs that Nile Rogers has beeninvolved with such as Notorious andThinking of You.

There was an emotional part to thenight when Nile Rogers explained thathe was now free from cancer.

The band's Brooklyn-born drummeralso had difficulty pronouncingLytham, much to the amusement ofthe audience.

Some of the band’s biggest hits, suchas Le Freak, were left to the end of theevening.

Lytham Festival provides a line-up ofsome of the biggest stars in pop.8/10

MOTORS

I currently have four cars- but not just for braggingabout when at the pub!

THE CAR in front – to paraphrase an old TV ad slogan – is myToyota. Only it isn’t going anywhere, because the vehiclehailed as the nation’s 31st most reliable when it was new hasdecided to come over all un-Toyota-ish and break down.

An hour later and the verdict is in from the AA – the ignitioncontact switch, after nearly 20 years of being flicked back andforth on commutes, is finally on the way out and needs a £20replacement to make sure I can get to work on time. This sort ofthing shouldn’t be a problem if you’re sensible and employ avaguely new car to do your bidding – but if you aren’t and relyalmost entirely on old ones, the next few paragraphs are prob-ably going to sound painfully familiar.

At the moment I have four cars at my disposal, and that’s notfor pub bragging purposes, seeing as they collectively cost lessthan a year’s depreciation on a new 5-Series to buy. It’s a bit likehaving a 72-piece cutlery set from an upmarket department store– you might not use all the bits all the time, but for whatever

you’re cooking up you know you always have the right equip-ment handy.

Which in the event of the Toyota suddenly being out of actionmeans turning to the Mazda MX-5 that I normally keep for holi-days and visits to sun-kissed car shows, but unfortunately that’salready at a garage, having its radiator looked at after getting allhot and bothered in 30-degree heat on a classic car run.

No bother. I’ll just turn to the rather unlikely set of wheels I’vebeen tasked with running for a year by my colleagues at ClassicCar Weekly – a Reliant Robin that I snapped up last Christmas for£600. Alas, that was out of action at roughly the same point BigBen chimed in New Year, after a couple of mates and I discoveredthat its front crossmember was made largely out of rust andneeded a total overhaul. We’ve been tinkering with it ever since.

All of which leaves just one car in my life that I know I can relyon – my MGB GT, built 46 years ago by British Leyland. Despiteits rather faded paintwork this is usually one of the few cars Iown that I can normally depend on to fire up, its B-series hum-ming excitedly in anticipation every time I hop in. Or at least itwould do had I not left it for ages and let its battery go flatbecause I’d been too busy breaking down in the other cars.

They don’t build ‘em like they used to – they build ‘em a lot bet-ter. Feel free to think I’m a bit bonkers for putting up with four oldcars as opposed to one vaguely decent one, but they’re all bril-liant. When they work, that is…

David Simister is the editor of Classic Car Weekly

Classic cars are big fun - but they come with their own challenges

Bootle beaten in nail-biterfor fourth defeat in a rowSINCE the Liverpool & District Compet-ition was officially constituted in 1949Firwood Bootle had never previouslylost four consecutive league matches,but that record went to the wall lastweekend at Beech Walk where Leighwon a nail biting Premier Leagueencounter by the narrowest of mar-gins.

Bootle were invited to go in first butrecent batting frailties were soon inevidence as the top four were dis-missed by Toby Bulcock with 70 on theb o a rd .

Danny Davies (61) and Neil Williams(53) came to the rescue with a muchneeded partnership of 96 and CraigPrince declared after 55 overs with200-9 on the scoreboard, Bulcock end-ing with 5-63.

The home side were left with 57overs in return and their reply washeld together by opener Ross Zelemwho hit an attractive 83 with usefulassistance from Tom Foster (30) andHedley Molyneux (30).

At 170-5 Leigh seemed to be cruising

to victory but their lower order sud-denly became somewhat jittery andthree wickets went down for the addi-tion of 17 runs.

At 197-8 Dan Hewitt was cleanbowled by Bharat Tripathi for 1, butMatthew Hibbert and Jack Hayes ekedout the four runs needed as the hostswon by one wicket off the second ballof the final over.

A small crumb of comfort wasobtained in the following day’s EchoCup quarter-final at The Oval, whereBootle posted an intimidating total of202-8 from their 20 overs to whichWallasey replied with a modest 78 allout to lose by 124 runs.

This weekend Bootle face two toughhome matches against Ormskirk in thePremier League on Saturday andNorthern the following day in thesemi-final of the Ray Digman Trophy.

Tough workout for Bucks after theyneeded to score five to beat BreckLower Breck 2Bootle 3

BOOTLE continued their unbeatenstart to pre-season with a win overLower Breck on Saturday, writesConnor O’Neill, in their toughestworkout of this pre-season.

Breck wasted a host of earlychances but mid-way through thefirst half, Mason Nevitt, the elderbrother of Bucks forward Elliott,picked up the ball 25 yards out beforeletting fly with a low-drive that some-how found its way into the bottomcorner of the net

In truth, Jack McGovern, the goal-keeper on trial with the Bucks, could

have done better.The youngster however, soon made

amends for his earlier mistake whenhe did well to block Jamie Henders'effort after the forward collected PaulMooney's defence-splitting pass.

Just before half time the Bucks lev-elled when Carl Peers was broughtdown on the edge of the Breck box,with Ben Jago curling the free-kickinto the top corner of the net.

Six minutes into the second half andthe hosts retook the lead. Some neatplay eventually saw Nevitt race clearbefore the midfielder finished calmlypassed Ryan Jones in the Bootle goal.

The Bucks hit back with 13 minutesremaining. Matty Coughlan and Ste

Milne combined before the latter'slow cross was turned home byAndrew Gillespie.

And just minutes later, Stafford'sside went ahead for the first time.

Some good play released Milne whoin return fed Gillespie.

The former Widnes man thenturned inside the box before beingtripped by a Breck defender leavingthe referee little hesitation in point-ing to the spot.

Milne stepped up for Bootle but sawhis effort saved before the Breck goal-keeper did well to block Karl Noon'sfollow up, but he was powerless inpreventing Noon from finishing therebound from close-range.

Two goals for Reid asMarine beat Tranmere XIMarine 4Tranmere Rovers XI 0

MARINE ran out comfortable win-ners in their opening home preseason friendly, writes Dave McMil-lan .

The result against a youthfulRovers side was never in doubt onceDom Reid had opened the scoringwith a rasping 25 yard drive after 15minutes, his powerful effort beatingPatrick Wharton and finding the topleft hand corner of the net.

The Mariners played some flowingfootball with several neat movesopening up the visiting defence,Wharton making good saves on a

number of occasions to keep thescore at 1-0 going in to the break.

The home side took a firm grip onproceedings four minutes in to thesecond half as they continued toknock the ball around nicely in thesunshine, Reid notching his secondof the game after racing clear andsliding the ball past the exposed cus-todian .

Danny Mitchley got the third, run-ning through on goal to take the ballround the gloveman and firing in toan empty net on 58 minutes with tri-alist Conor Ready adding a fourthfour minutes later, heading in a deepcross at the far post from closerange.
