Knowsley NewsKnowsley News

This follows the savings of

£23.6 million which the council had to

fi nd last year, and it is anticipated that

government funding will continue to

be cut until at least 2017.

In order to meet those targets, the council

has proposed a budget for 2012/13 which

will further reduce spending but also

protect those key services which are most

important to you.

The council has taken early decisions

through a planned approach which avoids

the need to make drastic cuts to frontline

services.

Budget 2012/13Once again, Knowsley Council is facing signifi cant funding cuts from the government, which has left an £8.2 million gap in the 2012/13 budget. A detailed savings package has had to be identifi ed to bridge this gap.

“

”

Setting the budget with the massive funding cuts we face, is an incredibly diffi cult task.

Our priority is always to protect those key, frontline services that are so important to those of you who live and work in Knowsley.

We have had to make some tough decisions and we will continue to face signifi cant challenges in the coming years. However, we will continue to put your needs fi rst and do everything we can to support the people of Knowsley.

As we did last year, the council is intending

to freeze council tax for residents in

order to help ease the fi nancial squeeze

being felt across Knowsley in the current

economic climate.

The council’s budget for 2012/13 was due

to be agreed at a meeting of the council

on 7 March.

Cllr Norman Keats, Knowsley Council’s

Cabinet Member for Finance and IT,

said,

Having our voice heard on welfare benefi t plans

If the government’s current

proposals were adopted, many

people across the UK and right here

in Knowsley, would fi nd themselves

hundreds, or even thousands, of

pounds worse off each year.

The City Region authorities, supported

by Knowsley MP George Howarth,

Knowsley Council has joined forces with its neighbouring authorities in the Liverpool City Region to call on the government to reconsider its proposals to change welfare benefi ts.

have put forward a series of principles

and issues which are crucial for the

government to consider, in order to

make their welfare reforms fairer than

they are currently.

What’s hot

“

”

In tough fi nancial times it can be almost impossible to fi nd and allocate funds to support anything other than essential service delivery.

Here in Knowsley, however, we are determined to go that extra mile and, despite the economic challenge, ensure that we are doing all we can to make targeted investments that we hope will improve people’s lives in this borough. With continued cuts to our external funding this is not an easy process, but something

that we are continuing to strive hard to achieve for our residents.

I n the current fi nancial climate, our

eff orts to balance our challenging

budget for this year have focused

on you – the resident – and in

protecting frontline services and

support that we know you rely on.

Alongside this however, we have also

been working to identify key projects and

initiatives that could really improve the

opportunities, support and lives of people

across Knowsley.

Therefore, as part of our budget setting

process this year, we have also been

working to identify over £9 million of

additional funding to focus on some of

the things that we believe can make a real

diff erence to you, your family and your

community in the coming years.

Bringing our centres for learning up to the national average, or better, for GSCEs

Helping 10,000 of our residents into long-term jobs

Taking a lead role for jobs, skills and tackling poverty across the City Region, to ensure Knowsley residents benefi t from future investments and job creation

Supporting community owned businesses to break into the local economy

Making land available and investing in the development of hundreds of good quality and aff ordable new homes in the borough

Making sure that every resident in Knowsley has access to free debt/money advice and aff ordable credit

We will be focusing on the following:

Still investing to improve people’s lives

The performance space in the new Knowsley Leisure & Culture Park has been pulling in crowds from across Knowsley and beyond.

New theatre has the ’WOW’ factor


Halewood Youth Theatre in The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe at Knowsley Leisure & Culture Park

The multi-million pound centre on

Longview Drive, Huyton, has facilities

for an 850-seat theatre with the latest

sound and lighting eff ects.

The leisure & culture park opened in

September and has played host to the

Royal Shakespeare Company and the

Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra,

as well as world champion Elvis tribute

act Lee ‘Memphis’ King, amongst others.

Local dance and theatre groups have

also starred. Halewood Youth Theatre’s

production of The Lion, the Witch and

the Wardrobe was a winner with families

in the lead up to Christmas.

The popular Knowsley Dance Showcase

attracted big crowds with performances

from local groups Heat, Wiked, Street

Feet, Kirkby Belles, Kirkby Brook Street

and Mafi a.

There is a licensed bar inside the centre

on the night of performances, and plenty

of parking right next to the building.

said Cllr Eddie Connor, Knowsley

Council’s Cabinet Member for Leisure,

Community and Culture.

The acclaimed Protein dance group will

be performing ‘LOL’ on 31 March, and

there will be comedy line-ups, including

Laughter House Comedy on 28 April.

There will also be family shows featuring

children’s TV favourites.

You can buy tickets for all performances

by calling in to Knowsley Leisure &

Culture Park, or by ringing 443 5619 for

more details. To see what’s coming up,

visit the council’s website and click on

‘Things to see and do’.

“”

With this investment, we now

have a fi rst-rate venue on our

doorstep.

“

”

All too often in the past we’ve

had to travel some distance to

see shows and performances, but

that’s no longer the case.

In the coming months we’ll be

bringing more acts here and

encouraging local groups to

use the venue for their own

performances.

More and more people are turning

to ‘pay day loans’ for extra cash,

but it’s important to be sure you’re

making the right choice.

Pay day loans are off ered by lenders to

keep you going until your next pay day.

However, as with any loan, if you are

unable to make the repayments, you

can fi nd yourself in bigger fi nancial

trouble.

Park renamed in honour of fallen heroesA Kirkby park is to be offi cially renamed later this month in honour of a hero soldier from the town who was killed in Afghanistan.

When Irish Guard Lance Sergeant

Mark Burgan was tragically killed last

March, the Kirkby community came

out in force to pay their respects and

show their support.

Following the overwhelming response,

the council has been working with

Mark’s family to come up with a lasting

tribute to him and to other brave men

and women who have lost their lives

serving their country.

As a result, Wignall Park, Southdene, will

become known as Memorial Park after

a special ceremony being organised by

the park’s newly formed Friends group,

on Friday 23 March. The park will

become a focal point for remembering

all the area’s fallen heroes – both past

and present.

Cllr Eddie Connor, Knowsley Council’s

Cabinet Member for Leisure,

Community and Culture, said,

For more information on the

ceremony, please ring Ian Grady on

443 4166.

Wignall Park in Kirkby, soon to be renamed ‘Memorial Park’

“”

This is a small way in which

we can thank people like Mark

and remember all those in the

armed forces, who sacrifi ce so

much for us every day.

Keeping energy costs down

However, that doesn’t mean you should stop hunting for a better deal from energy suppliers. You could save money by:

• Switching to a monthly direct debit, which could save you between 5% and 10%

• Checking your meter reading to make sure your bills are accurate

05

• Asking your supplier about having an internet tariff , which could save you 10%

• Avoiding pre-payment meters

• Checking if you are eligible for any schemes or benefi ts to help you, by visiting www.homeheathelpline.org.uk

As the warmer weather arrives and you are relying less on your heating at home, you should start to see your energy bills reduce.

Shoppers in Knowsley may have

To receive a free entry pass, just show

The centre is open daily from March

Halewood Shopping Centre getting closer

The new Halewood Shopping Centre

is making great progress and is on

schedule to open this summer.

The retail development will complete

the new District Centre for Halewood

and will off er local residents a brand

new shopping experience with shops

including Aldi, Tesco, Cooltrader and

Home Bargains, at the heart of the

community.

The new shops will complement the

already popular Halewood Centre

which off ers a full range of public

services.

After years of planning and

working with both partners and the

community, the council’s multi-million

pound regeneration is now almost

complete.

Visitors to the area may be surprised to

see how eye-catching the new buildings

are and the range of facilities and services

that are available. There is a new primary

school, library, supermarket, health centre,

police access point and outdoor play area -

to name just a few of the new or improved

features.

As the new Neighbourhood Centre opens

its doors to the public, a new swimming

pool, fi tness suite, leisure facilities, steam

room, sauna, café and ACE youth facility

will be added to the impressive list of assets.

All that remains is for the fi nal landscaping

to be completed to put the fi nishing

touches to this regeneration scheme.

Cllr Dave Lonergan, Knowsley Council’s


Economy and Skills, commented,Economy and Skills, commented,

“ It is wonderful to see what

has been created here and how

the area has been transformed

in recent years. The regeneration

project is testament to the hard

work and commitment of all

involved - particularly the local

community who have supported

our eff orts throughout and

worked alongside us to achieve

this. ”

Leading the way for our young people

A dedicated youth space has been created as part of the new Neighbourhood Centre in Stockbridge Village.

The facilities, known as ACE (Achieve, Celebrate and Experience), have been designed and developed by local young people from the area and will include a chill-out space, pool table, IT facilities and a refreshment area.

We are one of only four areas in the

country to have been selected to

host one of these Youth Innovation

Zones - that will look at new ways

of delivering services for young

people.

The council’s vision for the YIZ puts

young people and those working

closely with them at the centre of the

decision making process.

The plans will be piloted in the

borough, and will move youth

services into our centres for learning -

making them a key part of secondary

education.

Personal packages of support will

be made available for young people

and the council will look to work

with community groups, as well

as voluntary and private sector

organisations, to support the delivery

of services. OurPlace, which is now

recognised as a national example of

youth involvement, is likely to play an

important role in this project.

Plans are underway to create one of the UK’s fi rst Youth Innovation Zones (YIZ) right here in Knowsley.

OurPlace is a big hit!

There will also be a range of activities and workshops taking place including dance, drama, sports and advice on teenage health. Young people will also have opportunities to take part in accredited awards.

For more information, ring Rose Spellacy or Billy Randles on 443 5333 or 443 2593.

More good news!

The OurPlace youth facility is already proving a big hit with its young visitors.

It is the fi rst youth facility in the

UK to have involved young people

in every level of decision making

throughout its development. As a

result, young people in Knowsley

have a fabulous opportunity to

access something really unique.

Open six days a week, the youth facility

is for young people age 11 to 19 (up to

age 25 for those with additional needs).

There are a range of facilites and

activities on off er and it is a great place

for young people to make new friends,

discover new talents and develop new

hobbies.

Membership is only £5 per year which

gives you 50% off the entrance fee. For

Young people

Claire, 17, from Prescot, and

Christopher, also 17, from Kirkby,

delivered messages written on

footprints from children across the

country - telling the Prime Minister

why children’s rights are important

to them.

The trip marked the 20th anniversary of

the UK ratifying the UN Convention of

the Rights of the Child. Arranged by the

Children’s Rights Alliance for England

(CRAE) and UNICEF, the visit launched a

year of action on children’s rights.

Knowsley youngsters ‘step up’ for children’s rightsTwo young people from Knowsley visited 10 Downing Street to raise awareness of children’s rights on behalf of all young people.

Claire said,

Christopher added,

Claire said,

“ Children’s rights are important;

without rights we are not equal. ”

A recent assessment of the teams

who support children in care has

praised the work being carried out in

Knowsley.

The assessment, carried out by LILAC

(Leading Improvements for Looked After

Children), concluded that children and

young people in the borough are central

to the decisions made about their care

and are able to infl uence the work of the

teams who support them.

Carried out by assessors - who themselves

are young people who have personally

experienced many years of care - the

review included discussions with foster

carers and social care staff , as well as

children and young people themselves.

In addition to praising the work being

carried out in Knowsley, the assessors

also provided useful feedback and

recommendations to make the service

even better in the future.

Children play a key role in decision making

A group of teachers from across

Europe have visited Springfi eld

School to discover how it delivers

outdoor education for pupils with

Special Educational Needs (SEN).

Springfi eld welcomed partners from Estonia, Spain and Turkey, as part of the Comenius School Project, which was established to explore SEN outdoor education.

The 12 teachers had a packed four-day itinerary showcasing many of the outdoor activities Springfi eld pupils take part in. This included horticulture, the Duke of Edinburgh Award and trips to Acorn Farm - where pupils enjoy animal feeding demonstrations. The delegates also visited Kendal to see the outdoor education centre the school uses for residential trips.

The trip inspired teachers to plan workshops in their own country based on what they have learnt at Springfi eld.

Private fostering

teenager might be living with

their boyfriend or girlfriend’s

family, or children could be

living with a family friend following a

family crisis.

All of these situations are examples of

private fostering. But, did you know that if

this is the situation with your child/children,

you are legally required to inform the

council about it?

The law states that you must let us know

about situations like this so that we can

make sure your child’s care is suitable and

of a good standard.

By telling us about your circumstances,

you will be able to access support and

advice for your child/children, and their

carer, during this time.

They will also be assigned their own

social worker who will make regular

visits and be in regular contact. They will

ensure your child remains safe and well

and that their educational and health

needs are met throughout.

Often, private fostering arrangements

remain informal and the council is not

made aware of changes in circumstances.

Sadly, this can sometimes leave children

vulnerable and without the support they

need at what can be an unsettling time.

Help us to stop this happening and

keep all children in Knowsley safe and well.

If these circumstances refl ect your current

family situation or future plans, you should

contact the Knowsley Access team, which

is part of the council’s Children’s Services,

on 443 2600 or email

[email protected]

For more information on private fostering, visit the council’s website.

Private fostering is when a child under the

age of 16, or up to age 18 if disabled, is

cared for by someone other than a parent

or close relative for 28 days or more.

A close relative in this situation is either a

grandparent, brother, sister, uncle, aunt or

even step-parent. They could be related by

marriage or a full or half-relation. Partners

of the mother or father of a child are not

classed as a relative. Neither are extended

family members such as great aunts, great

uncles or parent’s cousins.

If you are making arrangements for

someone, other than a close relative, to care

for your child, you should let us know at

least six weeks before the care begins.

If the arrangement is made in an

emergency, you must get in touch

within 48 hours.

The North West Vehicle Restoration

Trust has the only collection of vintage

vehicles in the Liverpool area. It consists

mainly of buses dating as far back as the

1940s through to modern day.

The trust has a number of skilled members

who help to restore the vehicles to their

former glory, including mechanics, painters

and engineers. They teach and pass on

these valuable skills to younger members

of the trust, helping them expand and

maintain the collection for years to come.

The Knowsley Partnership has

developed a range of ways to deal

with incidents of hate crime and to

support people who suff er this form

of abuse.

We now have a number of locations

which off er a ‘Speak Up Service’, where

you can report incidents of hate crime and

receive invaluable advice and support. This

includes the council’s One Stop Shops and

housing associations.

This service is just one of a number of

initiatives across the borough to help

prevent and tackle hate crime through

raising awareness, supporting victims and

bringing perpetrators to justice.

A full list of ‘Speak

Up Service’

locations can be

found on the

council’s website

or by ringing

443 2600.

Membership is only £15 per year, and

enables vintage enthusiasts to assist with

the restoration of the vehicles, as well as

having the opportunity to take some

of the vehicles to local transport shows

and events.

If you are interested in becoming a

member of the North West Vehicle

Restoration Trust, or would like more

information, please ring 298 2121 or

‘Speak up’ against hate crime in Knowsley

A new campaign has been launched to make sure nobody has to sleep rough on our streets.

‘No Second Night Out’ aims to make

sure that, by the end of 2012, there

is no-one living on the streets of

Merseyside and nobody will sleep

rough for more than one night.

The council is working with a wide range

of partners – including housing agencies,

homelessness teams and the police - to

help anyone who is sleeping rough today

to fi nd appropriate accommodation for

tomorrow.

If you know of someone who is sleeping

rough, please ring 0300 123 2041.

Rowan Williams says she hasn’t only

got green fi ngers – she’s got green

Rowan lives in Huyton and was overall

winner in the children’s classes at the

Knowsley Flower Show last year.

She also won every category in the

children’s section at the show, and fi rst

prize in fi ve categories at the Croxteth

Hall Royal Horticultural Society show too.

Although the fl ower show won’t be

taking place until 5 August, Rowan is

already thinking about her entries this

time around! Each year, she begins

planting at the start of February to make

sure she has plenty of time to cultivate

something special.

Why not think about getting

involved yourself this year

or encourage your friends

and family to take part?

There are new

and interesting

classes, including the

longest Olympic runner bean and the

best handcrafted crown or tiara - paying

tribute to the Olympics and the Queen’s

Diamond Jubilee.

There’s also a new section for jams

and chutneys and the best computer-

Keep up the good work! Knowsley households are now

recycling one third (33%) of their

waste.

A big thank you to everyone whose

recycling eff orts have made this possible.

Whilst that’s a great achievement - and

almost a 5% overall improvement on

Bank Holiday recycling and waste collection days

Visit the ‘household waste

collections’ page of the council’s

website for full details of the

changes to waste collection days

over the Bank Holiday periods.

Due to a reduction in Government funding, from 1 April 2012,

householders using the food waste recycling service will no longer receive

a free supply of compostable caddy liners from the council.

You can buy the liners at all leading supermarkets, or save money by lining your

caddy with newspaper before emptying it into the external food waste bin. For

more information, visit the council’s website or ‘Recycle forKnowsley’ on Facebook.

Food waste recycling update

We’re saying a big ‘thank you’ to everyone who recycles their garden and food waste, by giving away bags of compost made from the contents of your blue bin.

Residents are invited to come

along to collect their free

compost on Sunday 13 May,

between 10am and 3pm at the

following venues:

Knowsley Council Depot

Stretton Way, Huyton

Knowsley Council Depot

Arbour Lane, Kirkby

Halewood Environment Centre

Okell Drive, Halewood

The compost will be available on a

fi rst come, fi rst served basis and will

be limited to three bags per person,

while stocks last.

Limited supplies will also be

available at further giveaways at

Huyton, Kirkby and Prescot town

centres - during and after Compost

Awareness Week in May.

Residents will also have the

opportunity to purchase a home

composter from the council

during the compost giveaways,

as well as at town centre events,

the Green Fayre and Knowsley

thanks to a partnership between Tower

Hill Community Charity, Landlife and the

council. It’s hoped that patients will be

getting involved with planting projects

over the summer months.

Tower Hill GP Dr Faisal Maassarani,

Chairman of Tower Hill Community

Health, said,

“ By taking a daily walk or

working in the community

garden, patients can improve their

blood pressure levels and reduce

symptoms of stress. The garden

is a great asset to both the centre

and local community. ”GP Dr Faisal Maassarani

‘Magnifi cent’, ‘wonderful’ and

‘terrifi c’ were just some of the

words used to describe the Royal

Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra

(RLPO) concert held at Halewood

Centre for Learning recently.

The concert was just one of the events

held at the centre for learning during

a week of impressive entertainment,

including a pantomime supported by

Halewood Town Council.

As well as a performance from a joint

Halewood schools choir, one of the

many highlights of the RLPO concert

Centre hosts musical magicwas the fi rst public appearance

by the newly-formed Halewood

Community Choir.

The choir, which meets on

Wednesdays from 7.30pm to 9pm at

Halewood Centre for Learning, is

on the look-out for new

members.

No previous experience

is needed and adults of

all singing abilities are

welcome. Ring Jill on

The fi rst person in Knowsley to receive the Government’s Excellent Teacher status has retired after almost four decades in the same school.

Patricia Holden has

taught around 1,500

children in 38 years

at Prescot Primary

on Maryville Road.

She is leaving to

spend more time

with her husband

and to look after

her brother who is

recovering from a

serious illness.

Three members of the Trees

Residents Association received police

commendations recognising their

work in the local community.

The presentations were made to

meeting of the association, which has

worked for more than 15 years alongside

local councillors and partners. Together,

they have tackled local issues, including

the £250,000 Greenway Scheme which

provides local children with a safe route

to school.

Top notch teacher takes a bow

New traffi c-free cycling routes

running through Stadt Moers

Park and linking with the Whiston

Greenway are now open.

Knowsley Council and charity Sustrans

have worked with the local community

on this project that uses sections of the

former Mineral Railway line, and links

communities in Huyton and Whiston.

To complement the route, a new piece

of public artwork – a ‘portrait bench’ -

has been unveiled, featuring local cyclist

Joan Kershaw - a former colliery worker

and nurse.

The scheme forms part of a national

Big Lottery-funded project from charity

Sustrans, delivering new walking and

cycling routes for local journeys in

communities across the UK.

The great news in Knowsley is that

the cycleway looks set to be extended

further in the future, with plans being

developed by the Land Trust to open

up the former colliery site, providing a

link to Cronton by creating an informal

country park.

Local school children cycle past the portrait bench watched by local councillors, cyclist Joan Kershaw, as well as representatives from Sustrans and The Big Lottery Fund
