RESIDENTS BACKSCHEME TO HANDCOUNCIL LAND TONATIONAL TRUSTA CONSULTATION over a proposed takeover ofcouncil land in Formby by the National Trust hasended – with residents resoundingly supportingthe scheme.

Comments in relation to the potential transfer ofland in Formby from Sefton Council to the NationalTrust have been received after the Local Authoritypublished a formal notice considering the disposalof land to the northern and southern side of LifeboatRo a d .

The closing date for comments was March 22 withmost correspondence in support of the scheme. Thisincluded a petition with 69 names on it in full sup-port of the potential land transfer.

Positive conversations have taken place and willcontinue regarding the transfer of land at LifeboatRoad and Ravenmeols from Sefton’s ownership toThe National Trust.

If agreed, it would see more than 204 hectaresbecome part of the National Trust Formby portfoliowhich is home to one of the very best mobile sand

dune habitats in the entire UK. The comments madewill now form part of a report going to Cabinet inMay which will look at the possibility of transferringthe land to the National Trust.

Sarah Kemp, Executive Director at Sefton Council,said: “So far the feedback over the potential transferof land in Formby to the National Trust has beenvery supportive.

“We strongly believe this potential land transferwill enable the National Trust to make a significantcontribution to the outcomes of the Sefton 2030 Vis-ion .

“It will also enable a positive impact in terms ofmanaging the broader landscape for the benefit ofpeople, the local economy, natural wildlife and thee n v i ro n m e n t .

Strike hitsracegoers

RACEGOERS in Formby who are lookingforward to the Aintree Grand Nationalmeeting on Saturday, face travel misery if athreatened rail strike goes ahead asplanned.

Merseyrail chiefs say they plan to operatea service every seven and a half minutes toAintree from Liverpool Central at key timesfor the event - but train travel from Formbycould be severely disrupted.

The rail company say that, despite thestrike by the RMT union and the expecteddecision of train drivers not to cross picketlines, it will be able to run the usual GrandNational day service before and after theraces between Liverpool city centre andA i n t re e .

There will be fewer trains or no trains atall on other parts of the network, althoughrail replacement buses will run on certainlines and services on key bus routes will bes t re n g t h e n e d .

BBC probe revealstaxi drivers in Seftonwere handed permitsto work despitecriminal convictions

SEFTON Council has granted or extended taxilicences for drivers who have criminalconvictions, according to a BBC investigation.

A Freedom of Information request by the broad-caster found that the local authority gave threedrivers permission to pick up passengers despitebeing found guilty respectively of drug dealing,violence and harassment.

The findings revealed that six councils in thenorth west have granted or renewed permits formore than 300 convicted drivers since 2012.

It was also found that one in five drivers applyingfor a taxi licence in the region over the last twoyears had a criminal record.

The Licensed Taxi Drivers Association (LTDA)said granting licences to convicted drivers was ‘put-ting the public at risk.’

Under the Freedom of Information request, a totalof 41 councils were asked to reveal how many con-

victed drivers were granted licences. Sefton wasonly one of six to respond.

According to Sefton Council's website: “Any per-son who wishes to work as a Hackney Carriagedriver, private hire driver, horse omnibus or pedicabdriver is required by law to hold a taxi driver licenceand taxi vehicle licence issued by Sefton Council.”

Anyone applying for a taxi licence can be rejectedas the councils take into consideration if they are ‘fitand proper’ drivers.

The Local Government Association put outguidelines which say that anyone with sexual orviolent offences should be refused a licence.

For any other offence, the council can take intoaccount the date of the offence, the circumstances,and the applicant's behaviour since.

Council backed over land transfer schemeFrom page 1"Further discussions will take place with National

Trust with the view of transferring the land to themto develop a richer visitor experience with localcommunities and secure the future of thisextraordinary coastline. This will be reported backin May."

The dunes themselves are home to rare wildlifeincluding sand lizards, Northern Dune TigerBeetles and the rare Natterjack toad. The pinewoodlands that fringe the coast provide a wonder-ful habitat to rare and much loved red squirrels.

The significance of the land at Lifeboat Road

recreation area and Ravenmeols has been recog-nised as a Site of Special Scientific Interest, SpecialArea of Conservation and Special Protection Area.

Rebecca Burton, National Trust Assistant Directorof Operations, said: “We are really encouraged bythe feedback received to the potential land transferand the petition in its support. We appreciate justhow important the Formby Coast is to the peoplewho love it and use it and for the rare wildlife that

makes its home here. As we head towards the mile-stone 50th anniversary of our care for land atVictoria Road on April 12, our aim is to continue toensure that this special place can be used andenjoyed by future generations.

“We want to continue caring for and protectingthis special piece of coastline, working closely withour neighbours, key stakeholders and partners.

“We are excited about the future opportunity the

land transfer would offer to invest in things thatlocal people and users have told us they would like.These include better visitor facilities and access,working alongside local people to shape ourplans.”

The potential land transfer coincides with 2017being the Year of Sefton's Coast and also the 50 yearanniversary of the National Trust in Formby.

Prepare fordisruptionto services,say rail chiefsahead ofstrike action

From page 1People travelling on mainline rail services can

still travel into and out of Liverpool, but asNorthern is also affected by strike action, peopleare being advised to check the timetable beforethey travel.

A Merseyrail spokesman said: “Should the RMTcall the strike off any later than April 5, as part ofa political tactic to act as the saviour of theGrand National travelling public, there will notbe enough time to get the normal service up andrunning and restore all of the original security,emergency service cover and logistical supportwhich go with such a major event.”

Frank Rogers, chief executive of Merseytravel,added: “We have been working closely with Mer-seyrail, Aintree Racecourse and other transportoperators toensure that des-pite the strike,we can getpeople to andfrom Aintree.

“We are used tothe transportchallenges of bigevents with allpartners coming together to go the extra mile.This is no different.”

He called the strike “a calculated and cynicalmove by the RMT to try to use the GrandNational, as a gambling chip in RMT’s nationalbattle.”

He added:“The RMT’s claim that this issue isabout passenger safety falls apart when they areprepared to put the travelling public at risk bydeliberately putting more pressure on a muchreduced network.”

‘Strike is a calculatedand cynical move bythe RMT to try to usethe Grand National, asa gambling chip inRMT’s national battle’

‘Care at Chemist’ schemein Sefton to be scaled back

A PHARMACY service in Sefton which providesresidents with advice for minor illnesses insteadof going to a GP practice, is being scaled back.

Health commissioners in Sefton have confirmedthat following a recent review, the Care at theChemist service will continue from April, 1 but atfewer pharmacies.

The move has sparked anger from Sefton CentralMP Bill Esterson who has hit out at the move,describing it as a ‘disaster for our community.’

Pharmacists routinely provide health adviceregardless of Care at the Chemist, but the schemeadditionally ensures residents have access to arange of medicines for minor illnesses for whichthey might otherwise consider a trip to the doctor.

Medicines that are supplied to a patient as a resultof their Care at the Chemist consultation are freefor those who do not already pay for their prescrip-tions. All items available on the scheme are alsoavailable to buy over the counter.

NHS South Sefton Clinical Commissioning Group(CCG) and NHS Southport and Formby CCG, likemany other CCGs, have been forced to scale backthe service to make savings.

Following reviews of current services, the CCGshave informed pharmacies that the consultation feefor the scheme will be reduced for 2017-18 whichhas led to a number of pharmacies choosing to nolonger provide the additional resource.

There will however be at least one pharmacy ineach of the CCG's eight localities, at Ainsdale andBirkdale, central Southport, Formby, north South-port, Bootle, Crosby, Maghull, and Seaforth andLitherland.

Dr Rob Caudwell, local GP and chair of NHSSouthport and Formby CCG, said: “In this challen-ging financial climate we are having to makesavings on many of our services but we do under-stand how valuable Care at the Chemist is,particularly for the borough’s most vulnerable anddisadvantaged communities. We are thereforepleased to be able to support the pharmacies whovoluntarily wish to offer this service to patients.”

But Mr Esterson said, “At a very difficult time forhealthcare services, pharmacies are a lifeline. Theygive people local access to medical advice for minorailments, while relieving pressure on GP surgeries.

“Losing this service could be a disaster for ourcommunity. It will end up costing more, because itis considerably more expensive to provide GP ser-vices for all those people who currently pop intotheir local pharmacy.

“I have contacted the CCG, asking them to getround the table with the providers as a matter ofurgency. They must come to a sensible, viableagreement which keeps medical advice availableon-demand at our pharmacies especially for thosemore vulnerable groups in greatest need.

“Care at the Chemist enables access to medicalprofessionals, appointment-free, at local pharma-cies in Sefton.

“This will have a major impact on local residentsand increase health inequalities and add to thepressure elsewhere in our NHS.”

Jurgen makes apig’s ear of derbyA ‘P S YC H I C pig’ with an uncannyknack of correctly predicting theoutcome of the Merseyside derby...has finally come unstuck.

Jurgen, from Freshfields Animalrescue centre, made headlines lastyear when he trotted out the cor-rect results for games betweenLiverpool and Everton.

However his streak came to anend after he made a pigs ear ofguessing the outcome of the clashbetween the Reds and Blues lastS a t u rd a y.

Jurgen was filmed predicting thatthe Blues would leave Anfield witha draw - but sadly the pig wastelling porkies and Liverpoolromped to a resounding 3-1 win.

In the video Jurgen is clearly seeneating out of a blue bucket beforechanging his mind and going forthe red one instead - that signigfieda draw, or so we thought!

The pig is named after Liverpoolmanager Jurgen Klopp.

Jurgen Kloppig at work!

Consultation startson future of surgeriesA SIX week consultation over thefuture of two doctors surgeries isnow underway with residents,councillors and pharmacists joiningthe battle to keep them open.

Although no decision has been madeon the future of both Hightown VillageSurgery and Freshfield Surgery, wor-ried patients fear that a ‘nuclearo p t i o n’ would be to shut them bothdown .

NHS England are asking people tocome forward and give their viewsover the coming weeks in what theycall a ‘listening exercise’ which couldinfluence a final decision on what willhappen to Hightown and Freshfieldonce current contracts expire.

A five year lease on Hightown Sur-gery was signed last month whichmany believed signalled a safe futurefor the site but NHS England havesince confirmed that this will have noeffect whatsoever on the consultationand subsequent outcome.

A spokesperson for NHS Englandsaid: “We have reached agreement ona five-year lease for Hightown VillageSurgery and this is due to be signedimminently. However, we have never

said that this indicates one way or theother the future of the practice and tosay otherwise is misleading.

“The new lease arrangements forHightown Village Surgery will ensurethat we have premises for a GP prac-tice for the immediate future andlonger-term if required, but we wouldlike to be very clear that this is entirelyseparate from the ongoing discussionsabout the future of GP services inHightown .

“We are continuing to explore alloptions and have launched a listeningexercise so that we can understand theimpact of any changes and hearpatients’ own ideas about how GP ser-vices could be delivered in the future.”

NHS England and NHS Southportand Formby Clinical CommissioningGroup (CCG) and NHS South SeftonCCG – the organisations responsiblefor planning and buying primary caremedical services - want to hearpatients’ views about options forfuture services. They will also be ask-

ing patients to suggest their own ideasabout how services could be deliveredin the future.

Freshfield Surgery is currently run byinterim providers whose contract isdue to expire in December 2017.

Patient views will be consideredalongside a number of other factorswhen deciding the future of the prac-tice. These include the likelihood ofbeing able to identify a future providerof services, a transport audit and sur-veys of both practice premises.

Anthony Leo, Director for Commis-sioning at NHS England Cheshire andMerseyside said: “Our priority is toensure that people have the best pos-sible patient experience and outcomesthrough access to a wide range of goodquality and safe services delivered byGP practices, which are sustainable inthe long term. In order to do this, NHSEngland must review services toensure that they continue to meetpatients’ needs.”

A series of eight meetings will beheld at The Gild Hall in Formby andresidents must register in order toattend. They can do this by calling0800 044 8169.

Council chiefswant feedbackon HMO strategySEFTON Council has launched a publicconsultation over a proposal to place morerestrictions on House in Multiple Occupation(HMO) schemes.

The local authority wants to get resident’s feed-back on whether a selective licensing andadditional HMO licensing scheme for private land-lords, are needed in parts of the borough.

A formal 12 week consultation involving resid-ents, private landlords, businesses and otherstakeholders across the borough and its neighbour-ing authorities was launched on Saturday, April 1.The results and final recommendations will then bereported back later in the year for a Cabinetdecision .

Clare Taylor, Sefton Council's Housing Standardsmanager, said: “Licensing schemes aim to improvethe management of privately rented properties toensure that they have a positive impact on an area.

A selective licensing scheme would require allprivate landlords, who rent out a residential prop-erty in Bootle, to apply for a licence for eachproperty that they let.

“Additional (HMO) licensing would require land-lords of Houses in Multiple Occupation located inparts of Waterloo, Brighton-le-Sands, Seaforth andSouthport to be licensed.

“Licence holders must be a fit and proper personand various conditions can then be applied to thelicence which would enable the council to easilychallenge standards and management practices ofproperties including instances of anti-social beha-viour of tenants. If this could affect you, please getin touch.”

Gardeners donate £500 to Civic SocietyGREEN-fingered home owners in Birkdalehave raised more than £500 by opening theirgardens to a national horticulture scheme.

The group of keen gardeners have beenshowing off their work for the last 10 yearsfor the National Garden Scheme and decidedlast year that they wanted to help the Birk-dale Civic Society.

So they pooled their profits from thescheme in the hope they could give the soci-ety a generous donation. Once the final

figure had been totalled, the residents wereable to donate £500 which will be used tobuy plants to help the village put on its bestface in 2017.

Ralph Gregson of the Civic Society was onhand to receive the cheque from the gardenowners and to complete the village connec-tion, the Civic Society has agreed with JohnCookson, that his nursery in St Peter’s Roadwill supply the plants.

Birkdale Gardens will be open again thissummer on May 28, June 18 and July 9 wel-coming two new gardens and one returningg a rd e n .

And visitors will now be able to wanderthrough the village and admire the work ofthe Civic Society as they go from garden tog a rd e n . Birkdale Civic Society chairman Ralph Gregson receives the £500 cheque.

Town is named UK’s mostfriendly coach destinationSO U T H P O RT has been named the UK’s mostCoach Friendly Destination at the British CoachTourism Awards 2017.

The town saw off stiff competition from Beverley,Bournemouth, Plymouth, Poole and Wells to winthe award.

The award recognises a town, city or region thatdemonstrates a commitment to welcoming coaches,coach groups and coach drivers. Previous winnershave included Liverpool, York, Burnham-on-Seaand the Isle of Man.

The judges praised ‘Southport Welcome’ - a newinitiative launched in 2016 to highlight and remindtour planners and coach operators why the tradi-tional seaside destination is coach and groupf r i e n d l y.

At the heart of ‘Southport Welcome’ is husbandand wife team Rod and Wendy Wright who, as thet o w n’s ‘Coach Welcome Hosts’ meet and greetcoaches arriving on day excursions between March

and October. In addition to promoting the many vis-itor attractions, festivals and other things to do in

the town and surrounding area, ‘Southport Wel-come’ also highlights the town’s dedicated, securecoach parking, and how coach parking charges havebeen reduced.

Steve Christian, Sefton Council's DestinationDevelopment Manager with Visit Southport, said:“We ’re absolutely delighted with winning thisaward. Across the UK’s coach tourism industry,Southport has long been recognised as being ‘coachfriendly ’.

“However, with so many towns, cities and otherdestinations competing for business from group vis-itors, it’s vital that we keep that message in front oftour planners and coach operators.

“Winning this award will mean the campaignreceives even more publicity which, when combinedwith our other marketing activity, and the newSouthport branding, looks set to encourage evenmore people to visit the town over the months tocome.”

Sefton Council’s Sammi Rudge and SteveChristian collect the award, with Miss EnglandElizabeth Grant

Club’s plans fordisabled fans areput on hold amidrelegation fearsSO U T H P O RT FC ’s plans to buildbetter disabled facilities at theirground, have been put on hold dueto relegation fears.

A meeting between the supportersclub ‘Trust In Yellow’ and club direct-ors led to a ‘full and frank’ debate overthe future of two important projects atthe Merseyrail Community Stadium.

Talks had been ongoing about theprospect of building new disabledfacilities along with a new bar behindthe Jack Carr stand. But with the clublanguishing in the relegation zone ofthe Vanarama National League, theyhave now been put on hold.

However, the club maintain they arecommitted to re-igniting the proposalsin the future once the fate of the clubhas been decided.

A statement from Trust in Yellowsaid: “Following a full and frankdebate regarding the future of the

club, proposed projects and schedul-ing, the Trust and members of the ClubBoard reached a mutual decision thatdespite remaining committed to bothschemes they felt the current timing ofthe planned ventures for the disabledfacilities and the bar behind the JackCarr stand, was not appropriate.

“Results of the potential demotion toNational League North were discussedincluding the benefits and disadvant-ages of a full or part time playing staffnext season.

A spokesperson for Southport FCadded: “SFC currently conform withFootball League criteria for disabilityaccess and are committed to develop-ing further with defined coveredaccommodation .”

“Migrant Workers Sefton Community willcontinue to help and support existing andnew migrant workers across the area on arange of issues and we are hopeful thatTheresa May considers the fact that they are akey component to a number of service deliv-ery areas right across the UK, includingSouthport”.

£3m project to improvesafety at Switch IslandHIGHWAYS England will spend £3 million onimproving safety at Switch Island after it wasrevealed there have been 49 collisions at thebusy junction in the last two years.

Construction work on the project at the junction,which is used by more than 90,000 vehicles everyday, is expected to start next year.

The scheme is designed to improve the flow oftraffic and enhance safety, following calls frommotorists to make signs and lanes clearer.

New traffic lights will be installed at a height ofover five metres - higher than HGVs and double-decker buses - so that drivers approaching the junc-tion can clearly see when the lights are changing.

Other improvements will include changes to theroad layout and lane markings, new barriersbetween carriageways, coloured, high-friction sur-faces and better signs.

The major works is being funded by the govern-ment’s £220 million congestion relief programme,which was announced by Transport Secretary ChrisGrayling last month.

Bruce Parker, asset development manager atHighways England, said: “We ’re delighted we’vebeen able to secure funding from the government

for this scheme, and can now carry out the detaileddesign and planning work before constructionstarts next year.

“The improvements we’re making at SwitchIsland will improve journeys and safety at the junc-tion, benefitting the tens of thousands of driverswho travel through it every day.”

Jerry McConkey, transportation and highwayinfrastructure service manager at Sefton Council,said: “We ’ve been working with Highways Englandand Merseyside Police over the last 12 months toinvestigate the issues at Switch Island. It’s greatnews that Highways England has secured this fund-ing and we will continue working with them toimprove the junction and make it safer for everyoneusing it.”

And Tony Jones, Chief Inspector of Roads Policingat Merseyside Police, added: “We welcome anyimprovements to the road infrastructure whichassists drivers and makes the network safer fordrivers and pedestrians.”

We need to respectvisitors to town if wewant them to returnYes, R.Hemming, (‘Yobs arewrecking towns reputation’) wedo need to preserve Southport'sreputation as a first class holi-day resort.

Serious consideration must begiven to alleviate the problem oftown centre yobs.

Also, Ainsdale beach has beena safe haven for dog walkers,kite flyers and a breath of freshair for young and old alike.

A car free beach has been ahuge success.

However, why have traffic war-dens been ticketing cars parkedin a safe place next to the picnic

area? Surely tourists needsomewhere to park if they are toenjoy our beach?

Many tourists respect theenvironment by coming on thetrain.

Why subject them to the longwalk from and back to the sta-tion, lugging their cases andbelongings, pushing prams andwheelchairs?

What happened to the bus?We need to respect visitors if

we want them to return.

Rail strike willplease animalrights supportersAS a supporter of human and animal rights, itpleases me that there will be a rail strike on the daymany horses could suffer at Aintree race course forthe running of the Grand National.

I find it appalling that proposals are in place tohave one driver in charge of a train full of vulner-able passengers.

A guard is essential for our safety.Horses can suffer and die from shocking pain and

injuries in the Grand National.Humans have a choice - to race or not.Animals have no choice.This strike will please many.

I, for one, am not glad my wife has hadpart of her pension taken away from herI FEEL that Mark Wilson could havesaved himself some time and effort bynot writing his letter claiming that thepresenter of the petition regarding pen-sion retirement age and all thesignatories of the same petition, aredisingenuous.

If Mark had allowed himself some timeto research, even a rudimentary one at

that, the campaign by WASPI (WomenAgainst State Pension Inequality), thenhe would have realised that it is not theequalisation of pension age that is theissue, rather than a group of women bornin the 1950s, who had very little notice ofthe promised pension age being exten-ded from 60 to 65.

I for one do not at all see why I should

be glad that my wife has had the best partof £40,000 taken from her due to notbeing able to draw the pension she waspromised for a lifetime's work, since sheworked all her life, since she was 15years of age.

Music was perfectionA recent Saturday night saw a magni-ficent musical performance bySouthport Orchestra.

The music was perfection (Beeth-oven, Mendleson and Tchaikovsky).

St John’s church in Birkdale providedan ideal venue for what I thought was

the performance of a lifetime .Thank you to everyone involved in

organising such a wonderful evening.

Many womenhave been leftin poverty bypension changesIn answer to Mark Wilson’s letter regardingw o m e n’s pensions. As a supporter of WASPA(Women Against State Pension Inequality) Ihave researched the issue.

Traditionally, previous governments grantedw o m e n’s pension rights at 60 in order for menand women to retire at the same time.

This was based on government statistics thatwomen are usually younger than their part-ners/husbands.

As many women are, and were, lower paid, itwas agreed that women retired at 60 for reasonsof equalisation of the gender pay gap.

As the recent parliamentary debates havehighlighted, none or no notice of pensionchanges following the 2011 Pensions Act werecommunicated to women affected by thesechanges.

Consequently, women born in the 1950’s nowhave their pensions withheld for up to six years.

The Parliamentary Select Committee arerequesting payments be made now for women.There is, currently, £70million of unpaidNational Insurance contributions. leaving manywomen in poverty.

We are not clear where the ‘forty years notice’Mark Wilson stated in his letter originates from.Fake news perhaps?

H Murray,Southport.

It’s time forchange atSouthportFootball ClubSouthport Football Club is really in a ter-rible position right now.

The club lies 23rd in the table and withlittle prospect of remaining in the NationalLeague.

Should the club drop a division, it wouldbe a third relegation for long-standingchairman Charlie Clapham.

The chairman has put many years into thefootball club but the time has come toallow the new directors who joined theboard in September, to now take over theclub.

Crowds are dwindling and supporterswho are fearful of relegation are almostunanimous that changes at the top arenecessary to avoid Southport following thelikes of Altrincham who have fallen to asecond successive relegation.

This season Southport have used 45 play-ers and is currently on its 10th manager infour years - they can’t all be at fault.

Second rate service for first class postA few weeks back, I received a phone call offeringme a cancelation for a hospital appointment the fol-lowing week, and I was told the paperwork wouldbe sent out by first class post.

So, that was on a Thursday, with the appointmentfor the Tuesday. Come Tuesday, no paperwork,which meant a nurse wasted time filling in theforms. They turned up eleven days after being pos-

ted first class. Thus taking eleven days to travelnine miles. A wonderful first class service.

A card posted first class by us to Rochdale alsotook days to arrive, proving to me that we may bepaying for a first class service with the Royal Mail,but we are not getting one.

Pet store bring inEaster ‘bunny ban’

A PET store in Southport is refusing to sellbunnies this Easter in a bid to promoteresponsible animal ownership.

Staff at the Pets at Home store at the Ocean Plazain Southport, will not be selling the long-eared petsfrom opening on Good Friday to close of trade onEaster Monday (April 14 - April 17).

Each year, customer interest in rabbits increases atEaster due to the holiday’s connection with theEaster Bunny.

To ensure families understand the specific needsof rabbits, staff are instead hosting free rabbit work-shops in all stores throughout the Easter weekend tohelp children understand the welfare needs of rab-bits.

This includes information about shelter, food andwater, good health, appropriate company and theright living environment to help families and poten-

tial future pet owners to make an informed decisionabout the responsibilities of taking on an animal.

Peter Pritchard, chief executive at Pets at Home,said: “We pride ourselves on putting pets beforeprofit so we’ve taken the decision not to sell rabbitsduring the upcoming Easter weekend.

“Our informative workshops help families under-stand what’s involved in being a responsible rabbito w n e r.

“What’s more they’re also a fun and free way forchildren to get up close and personal with somefurry friends during the holidays.”

For more information on how to care for rabbitsand other animals, visit petsathome.com.

Shoe firm toclose store atOcean PlazaA NATIONAL shoe retailer has gone intoadministration and is to close its store in OceanPlaza.

It is the second time in just over a year thatBrantano has gone into administration and, despitebeing saved in 2016, thousands of employees acrossthe country are yet again in danger of being thrownout of work.

The Brantano store at Ocean Plaza is believed toemploy up to twenty staff but their future now looksuncertain following the news.

Based in Hinckley, Leicestershire, the chain has 73stores and 64 concessions across the UK andemploys 1,086 staff.

Founded in Belgium in 1953 it expanded into theUK by buying 47 Shoe City shops in 1998.

According to reports, the company’s privateequity owner, Alteri, had been attempting to sellBrantano and another footwear chain, Jones Boot-maker, which it bought along with its sister retailerfor about £12m in February 2015.

The latter, which has 100 shops and about 800employees, is also at risk of administration but istalking to potential buyers thought to includeprivate equity firm Endless and footwear groupsKurt Geiger and Pavers.

Tony Barrell of PwC, who was appointed as leadadministrator to Brantano, said: “Despite signific-ant improvements in the business and reductions inthe cost base, trading has continued to suffer in adepressed and competitive footwear market.”

Twitchers triumph in garden surveyBIRDWATCHERS in Sefton have been spottingsome interesting wildlife as part of the RSPB BigGarden Birdwatch survey.

The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds(RSPB), which is the UK’s largest nature conserva-tion charity, recently encouraged locals to take partin the research which collected information aboutdifferent birds.

A particular highlight was the high number ofrecorded sightings of waxwings, which flock to UKgardens in winter once every 7-8 years when theberry crop fails in their native Scandinavia.

The RSPB say that close to half-a-million people,including 5,945 in Merseyside, joined in the world’slargest garden wildlife survey.

There was also good news for robins, which wereseen in 86% of Merseyside gardens compared to82% last year. Blackbirds were the county’s mostwidespread garden bird after being spotted in 91%of Merseyside gardens.

Dr Daniel Hayhow, RSPB Conservation Scientist,said: “The sight of a robin or blackbird perched on

the garden fence is often one of the first experienceswe have with nature. So to have over half-a-millionpeople taking part and counting a bumper eightmillion birds across one weekend is amazing. Usingthe information from the weekend we’ll be able tocreate a snapshot of how our garden birds aredoing.

“In the lead up to the Birdwatch there was somespeculation as to whether we could see a ‘waxwingwinter ’ and the results prove that to be the case.Flocks of these striking looking birds arrived in theUK along the North Sea coast and will have movedacross the country in search of food, favouring gar-dens where they can feast on berries.

“With it only happening once every 7-8 years, itwill have been a treat for the lucky people who man-aged to catch a glimpse of one.”


A bohemian waxwing birdEric turnson the stylefor beautycompetiton

A HAIRDRESSING student from Southport has fin-ished runner up in a UK wide competition to findthe best beauty stylist.

Aspiring trainee and student hairdresser, Eric JoeyJones, finished second overall in the “Create theLook 2017” competition which aimed to crown theUK ’s top up-and-coming hair and beauty stylist.

As well as studying full-time, Eric Jones is also anapprentice stylist at Artizan Hair Bar in Southport,training to be a hair colour expert.

To be in which a chance of winning Eric had tosubmit a special ‘look’ he had created for the occa-sion .

Reflecting on his submitted look, Eric stated; “Ilove being a hairdresser, and my inspiration for mysubmitted look is very out there.

“I wanted my entry to be unusual and creative toshow a different side of hairdressing and make-up.”

Although judges were impressed with the 17-year-old’s design, the award was eventually snatchedfrom him by a fellow stylist from Wolverhampton.

The winners were selected from a public vote of ashortlist of the most creative and inspiring hair andbeauty entries. Three expert judges also chose theirfavourite look, comprising Jodie Withers, Editor ofGood Salon Guide, Emily Hunter, Editor of BeautyMagazine, and Katherine Louise, makeup artist andblogger at Katherine-Louise.com.

P l e a s u re l a n dtransformedinto ‘war zone’for airsoft eventP l e a s u re l a n d was transformed into a‘dystopian-themed’ wasteland for an‘airsoft shootout.’

Airsoft is a sport where teams enactmakeshift battles with replica gunsand grenades and players descendedon the Southport park for a weekend-long event.

Pleasureland boss Norman Wallissaid: “We were very excited to hostthis event which was the first of itskind in the area.

“We have been planning this formany months. After a lot of hardwork the participants were able toenjoy a fabulous event that saw hugegroups who had travelled from farand wide fighting it out across mostof the park area - plus the arenaground and the Zombie Zoo in whichother exciting events are nowplanned for later this year.

“The team worked tirelessly to pre-pare the park not just for the battlesbut also to accommodate thecampers.

“The Airsoft event comes during therun up to Pleasureland’s officialopening (April 1). However we doexpect a much more peaceful offer-ing over Easter!”

!"!"!"!"!"


A wrist watch that glistersis as good as gold to meMY wrist watch is one of mostprecious possessions.

My mother bought it for me asa birthday present a good manyyears ago and hopefully it will bemy timepiece for the rest of mylife.

So you can imagine my feelingsjust under a year ago when Ifound myself confined to a hos-pital bed - sans watch.

And since I had already dis-covered that some of my things(money, Zippo lighter and suchhad been nicked while I waslying on a country path uncon-scious, I feared the worst.

Happily, after investigations itturned up and we were reunited- and I reckon that made me feelbetter than any one other treat-ment I was receiving.

In fact, this was the secondwatch given to me as a birthdaypresent by mum.

When I was quite young - nineor so I think, she presented mewith a nifty 'Orris' watch, which Iwore with pride.

Then, one year in the mid1950s we went on our first con-tinental holiday.

On the journey to London wetravelled by the night sleepertrain (those days there was sucha thing from Liverpool) and Iwas thrilled by the sleepingcabin I shared with brotherG e o rg e .

Another high spot was thelocomotive. Steam of course, agreat 'Pacific' beast named 'Prin-cess Helena Victoria.'

I loved her, though I confessthat at that time I had no ideawho this particular princessmight have been,

So, after a great holiday basedin an Austrian village (whereGeorge and I spent a consider-able time trying, withoutsuccess, to dam the local river)we returned to spend a day anda night in London before catch-ing the train back to Liverpool.I’ve no recollection of the locofor that trip, but it was a 'namedtrain'- the 'Red Rose'.

At some point I decided to visitthe toilet, and probably as muchso I could use all the facilitiesavailable as for any sanitary con-sideration, I washed my hands.

And took off my watch.Yes, I left it in the toilet on the

train, and didn't realise until wewere safely back on Merseyside.

Of course the sensible thing to

do was to tell mum or dad, whocould at least have made anattempt at retrieving it.

But being only 10 or so, I wasterrified of retribution so I keptmy nasty guilty secret to myselfand in fact started saving mypocket money with the ratherstupid idea of buying anidentical replacement.

Naturally I was found out -but not 'till several weeks hadpassed.

In fact, I have no recollectionat all of my parents reaction - soit couldn't have been all that

bad.And oddly, I cannot remember

what kind of watch I usedthroughout my secondary schooldays.

My saviour, mum, eventuallybought me a really decent watch(yes it was my birthday again)way back in the late 1960s - andthat I kept until a part bustwhich would have cost more tofix that the watch was worth.

Hence the Rotary watch I now,perhaps luckily, still have.

Actually, my ego receivedsomething of a boost when I dis-covered that a senior localcouncillor sported the samemodel.

Except that his had a gold case,as opposed to the gold-colouredcase that I have.

They both looked, superficiallyat least, the same.

So all that glisters might not begold - but my watch has alwaysbeen as good as gold.

ENTERTAINMENTAddams Family show tospook resort’s audiencesTHEY'RE creepy, spooky and kooky, and, moreimportant, they've definitely settled inSouthport.

The Addams Family is a musical comedy surroun-ded by Charles Addams' sweetish ghoulishrenderings of Gomez, Morticia, Uncle Fester, Lurch,Pugsley, Grandmamma and, of course, Wednesday.

The show is coming to The Atkinson this April 6 to8 by the talented award winning company SONGwho have won NODA’s Best Ensemble award twoyears in a row.

The story isn’t an adaptation of The Addams Fam-ily movies or TV shows but an original story. But ofcourse, the depictions of the characters are heavilyinformed by past screen versions, and the overturekicks off with a snippet of the familiar TV theme.

Daughter Wednesday is all grown up and in lovewith boyishly passionate Lucas Beineke.

Wednesday is suddenly very anxious to have herbizarre family act “normal” to make a good impres-sion on her boyfriend’s uptight father Mal andrelentlessly upbeat mother Alice when they areinvited for dinner. But the moment Lurch ushers theBeinekes inside the decrepit mansion, tensionbegins to mount.

Mal who is in the demolition business takes imme-diate interest in wanting to tear down the houseand Alice, Lucas’s mum spouts out happy poems atrandom, a nervous habit.

Pugsley, Grandmamma and Fester try hard to benormal, but they could not be more peculiar! Wed-nesday having worn black for the last 18 yearscomes down to meet her boyfriend in yellow.

That is just the start and the story reveals so muchmore keeping audiences amused and grippedt h ro u g h o u t .

Charles Moss recent winner of the NODA BestMusical director said: “The songs by Andrew Lippaare a grab bag of tango, cabaret and vaudeville-style numbers that are very entertaining and mostly

appropriate to the Addams aesthetic.“We have a 12 piece orchestra to support a variety

of very good musical numbers - most very witty,some rather touching.”

Karen Edge, director added: “It’s about love in allits forms, it’s about the hard work involved inchange, it’s about being our authentic selves. It isvery exciting that we are one of the last amateurgroups to perform the show before it goes on touraround the UK beginning in Edinburgh.”

Vicci Harrocks has choreographed a selection ofdances that aim to enhance the show and delightaudiences. She commented: “We hope to see famil-ies enjoying the much loved family during theEaster holidays.”

Production was ‘well-acted but wouldhave been better played as a thriller’

Perfect Murder by Peter JamesSDC at Little Theatre,Southport

AS one would expect of PeterJames, this story has a cleverplot and Simon McKenna hasturned the original best-sellingnovella into a successful play.

As an exciting murder mystery,it has all the ingredients of afirst class whodunnit. Anunfaithful husband, wanting toget rid of his wife, who isequally keen to be rid of him soshe can be with her secret lover.Who will strike first? How willthey get rid of the body? WillDetective Constable Roy Gracesolve his first case? Will justicebe done?

Yes, all the ingredients for areal thriller. Except…. the playwas not written as a thriller buta black comedy with a plot sounrealistic it was bordering onf a rc e .

Adrian Roberts was perfectlycast as the unpleasant VictorSmiley (played by Les Dennis inthe original touring productionin 2010) who seems to spendmost of his days, when not atwork, with a Polish prostitute,Kamila, played with seductiveaplomb by Emma Wells-Hall.Kamila is just waiting for him todispose of his wife so they canbe together forever.

Jacqui Padden was the star ofthe show as Joan Smiley, a com-mon tart who screeches like ahysterical banshee at everyopportunity as she rows withher husband, her lover andpretty well everybody she comesinto contact with.

Peter Hoyle played her lover, ataxi driver called Don Kirk, aman willing, or stupid enough,to help her get rid of Victor inany way she suggests. She onlyhas to ask.

Simon Hawkins took the roleof James’s now famous sleuth(into his 13th episode at the lastcount) who has no problemsolving the crime, with a littlehelp from Kamila’s psychicpowers.

Most of the play involves non-

stop screaming from Joan andranting from Victor. When the‘perfect murder’ takes place, thevictim is dismembered and putinto bin bags.

The surprise ending was unex-pected and well worked out andthe play would have been farbetter treated as a straight crimestory instead of a what was arather distasteful comedy.

A clever set, with the bed-rooms set back on the upperlevel, worked very well and thesound effects fitted seamlesslyinto the action. Directed byAndrew Sloman, all five Thespi-ans played their parts well. But,for me, not funny at all.

Star Rating. 5 out of 10. Aclever plot, well-acted but betterplayed as a thriller.

Review by Ron Ellis

Opportunity to see popularromantic ballet at theatreFOLLOWING its sold out, critically acclaimed runlast year, Akram Khan’s Giselle returns thisautumn with performances at the LiverpoolEmpire Theatre.

Hailed as “a masterpiece of 21st century dance”(Mail on Sunday), Khan’s Giselle is one of a com-

munity of migrant workers cast out of their jobsin a condemned garment factory. Last seasonover 40,000 people saw Akram Khan’s reima-gined Giselle performed on tour.

Akram Khan’s Giselle will be at the LiverpoolEmpire from Wednesday 25 to Saturday, October28.

His first full length ballet, Akram Khan’s Gisellewill see Academy-Award winning designer TimYip, known for his work on the hit film Crouch-ing Tiger, Hidden Dragon, create the set andcostumes, while composer Vincenzo Lamagnawill create an adaptation of the original score,performed by English National Ballet Philhar-monic.

Giselle will also see lighting design from MarkHenderson. English National Ballet and AkramKhan previously collaborated together on theaward-winning piece Dust, part of its Lest WeForget programme.

Award-winning choreographer and dancer,Akram Khan said: “I am eager to start the cre-ation of Giselle for English National Ballet. It is abeautiful and iconic piece, and I am looking for-ward to bringing my own take to it.”

The Insignia Grand Sport is lighter and saferthan its predecessor

MOTORSParking fines willforce us to park outof town and walk!IT MIGHT not buy you a house any morebut £24,500 still bags you a lot thesedays.

A mid-range BMW 1-Series, for instance,or a Vauxhall Insignia Grand Sport withmost of the options chucked in.

Classic car nuts like me would probablyend up with a Triumph TR4 or Jaguar Mk2for that sort of money.

Or you can follow Carly Mackie’s leadand blow the lot on roughly a year’s worthof parking for the car you already have.

That’s something in the region of £65 aday for a car that’s not even moving.

The punishment administered by a courtup in Dundee this week is widely beingdescribed as Britain’s biggest ever parkingpenalty – but it does (in Scotland at least)scotch the myth that parking tickets issuedby private companies on private land arelegally unenforceable.

All it’ll take is one court case of a similarnature either here in England or over inWales to make the precedent Britain-wide,and I don’t think any of us want to test itout.

Yet I think this is no bad thing.Too many people on the internet have

been perpetuating the idea you shouldrefuse to pay these private penalties underany circumstances, but I’d much rathertake the precedent of a court ruling oversome self-appointed internet legal eagleand – while it’s unfortunate for Ms Mackie– this does at least clear things up. It alsohighlights how bad the situation in mosttown centres has ended up if people areprepared to run this parking gauntlet.

On a busy day Southport and Ormskirkare particularly tricky to find spaces in andI’ll inevitably end up circulating like anautomotive vulture, waiting to swoopdown the instant someone’s Fiesta backsout and frees up a space. Skelmersdaledoes rather better, with its swish multi-storey at the Concourse – but it’s a shamethe spaces were designed for an age wheneveryone drove Austin 1100, not BMWX5s.

But there is a solution both to the parkingprecedent and to another news story that’sbeen doing the rounds this week.

Apparently a third of us are so fat andlazy these days that we’re costing the NHSa billion quid a year, largely because wecan no longer be bothered to stroll to thecorner shop.

So let’s walk more.I’ve spent years parking on the fringes of

Southport on my shopping trips, saving acouple of quid in parking and doubtlessextending my life slightly at the sametime.

If you’re a mum with three prams to pusharound or someone with a wheelchair or

crutches then go ahead and use the towncentre, but for the sake of a few minutes I’dmuch rather enjoy some exercise. Bitrainy? Use an umbrella.

Lots of shopping to carry? That’s whatbags are for.

I know this new-fangled walking thing isgoing to take a while to catch on, but justthink of all the money you’ll be saving.

Enough to buy a Triumph TR4 within ayear, if the latest precedent is anything togo by.

David is the editor of Classic Car Weekly

Being stretched for time is no excuse for poor parking

Port boss admits: ‘Weneed a miracle now’

Southport 0Guiseley 1

SOUTHPORT fans were hoping for the start of aBig Comeback after their victory against Bore-ham Wood last Saturday but their hopes weredashed when they were beaten 1-0 by alacklustre Guiseley side leaving Port boss AndyPreece admitting they now need a miracle tostay up.

For the first quarter hour, The Sandgrounderscontrolled the match, playing some attractive,passing football and, in the 14th minute, when ashot from Rory McKeown crashed against the barthe prospects looked promising.

But that was the closest they came for the rest ofthe match.

Both Richard Brodie and Lewis Almond triedhard to forage a way through The Lions’ defence,whilst Jack Higgins and Ryan Higgins broke upmoves by their opponents, but there seemed to belittle cohesion between the home side’s defenceand attack with no discernible tactical plan.

Young Craig King in goal was Southport’s hero,saving on-target efforts from Will Hatfield andJordan Preston and twice from Kevan Hurst, thebest player on the pitch.

It was Hurst who finally broke the deadlockwhen, in the 72nd minute, he picked up a looseball fifteen yards out and lashed a volley straightinto the net to give his side a victory that theyachieved more through their opponents’ineptitude rather than their own merit.

Meanwhile, in far off Gloucestershire, the villa-gers from North Ferriby United, relegationfavourites, beat long-time promotion challengers,Forest Green Rovers, on their own ground to pushSouthport back to the bottom of the league.

Port manager Andy Preece said he was bitterly

disappointed about the result and the teams’efforts.

“The tempo was flat. We did none of the thingswe did last week.

“It was just unacceptable in the position we’rein .

“We made wrong decisions in possession and ourpassing was poor. Everybody was waiting forsomebody else.

“Instead of a cup final, do or die attitude, that weowe to our supporters and everybody, we weregutless.

“It will take an almighty miracle to save us now.“Now it is just about pride.”

After their home match against ninth placedMacclesfield Town on Tuesday, The Yellows travelto 14th placed Sutton United next Saturday bywhich time their fate could be well and truly con-firmed.

The great concern is that the arrival of the threenew directors putting money into the club withthe promise of much-needed ground improve-ments, among other projects, may have come toolate.

Changes need to be made in the close seasonotherwise it will be the Evostick League that beck-ons next by which time there may be too fewspectators left to care.

HURLSTON HALLA multi-million-pound investment in Hurlston Hall’s conference facilities is already reaping rewards with wedding bookings at the West Lancashire venues up considerably onlast year.Owners at Hurlston invested £3 million in the venue creating a fi rst-fl oor facility which can cater for up to 300, more than anywhere in the local area, with wrap-around balconies and views across the sweeping golf course beyond.“We’ve had so many bookings for weddings already, it’s been an amazing start to the year,” says managing director Aoife O’Brien. “We’ve had lots of people come to us to visit the restaurant or golf range and they see the quality of the venue and that’s a clincher - wedding bookings are through the roof.”The investment programme took more than 16 months to complete and catapults the venue into the top rankings for event

bookings. It included a double storey extension to the main building more than doubling the capacity of the conference and wedding facilities, two new bars and a break out area.Money has also been invested in the whole wedding experience with two beautifully restored cottages on site for the wedding party to stay after the wedding and the creation of private dining room which is proving popular with couples planning a pre-wedding get together for families. “We’ve spent a lot of time thinking about what would make this the perfect wedding venue and how we can maximise on our fabulous setting and all the wonderful photo opportunities that represents.” Aoife adds.“We’re fully licenced now and with the cottages up and running we can offer everything the wedding party could need in a seamless ‘under one roof’ venue.”

Weddings

If you want to stray away from a typically traditional wedding, you’re working to a budget or you just want something to make your day stand out. Stepping away from the normal wedding breakfast can be a great way to do any of those things. If you are working to a budget why not consider a later wedding and avoid the sit-down meal all together? Or why not keep up with the vintage trend and have a vintage tea party instead of a three-course meal? Who said a wedding breakfast had to be Chicken or Beef? Speak to your venue about how fl exible they can be in the kitchen and offer something personal to you, such as a full English, Mexican or Curry. Why not hire a funky food truck to give your wedding a festival vibe or put on a BBQ or hog roast to really fi ll up your guests?Food stations are a great alternative to canapés or desserts and double up as entertainment for your guests - letting them get hands on. Try letting your guests build their own tacos, fl avour their own

popcorn or let them release their inner child with an ice cream station! Having a winter wedding? Let them toast marshmallows and add them to biscuits to make smores or offer a hot chocolate or mulled wine bar.

You can also dazzle them with a custom cocktail to toast you with rather than the usual glass

of fi zz. You can even team it with your theme. For example, if your theme is vintage serve it

in a tea cup and teapot!

With a background in textiles, graphics and retail I have always had a passion for fashion and been creative with my style. When planning my own wedding back in 2015 I was shocked at the struggle I had fi nding a local bridal store that wasn’t aimed at the traditional, big white dress, bling loving bride and found myself traveling further afi eld to fi nd boutiques stocking dresses to suite my more unique and quirky look. My other disappointment came when I found the experience of shopping for my dresses was not the champagne and fi reworks event I had dreamed up and that in reality you are lucky to get a cup of tea. I believe that shopping for such an important moment should be an occasion in itself and so I have created The Bridal Barn Boutique. A bridal boutique that offers top quality customer service (friendly and helpful advice and attention to detail), bubbly and refreshments for our brides and their entourage (because dresses shopping can be thirsty work), 2 hour long appointments (so no bride ever feels rushed), complete private use of the boutique and fi tting room (no sharing with other brides here), and a carefully selected collection of dresses, shoes and accessories from some of the industry’s best designers (no need to feel overwhelmed by too much choice). I hope you love the boutique as much as I do and we can fi nd you your perfect dress together.

ENTERTAINMENTThis year entertainment is one of the biggest elements of the big day and people want more than just a DJ. Theme bands are huge such as Ragtime, Jazz or Blues bands, with 7 or more musicians offering a hugely diverse range of music. People want to create an experience rather than just an event and really get their guests involved. Marryoke or Pop up Musicians add the surprise element to your wedding day and can be so much fun. They are a great talking point for guests. Photo booths are still popular with many people opting for an open-air booth which adds to the event rather than distracts. Open Air booths means you can fi t over 20 guests in to one photo and are so much fun to look back on.

For the ceremony why not try something different. Rather than a string quartet, consider hiring a gospel choir. Do your research and you will fi nd the cost is not as much as you may think. Having a summer wedding or travel theme? Steel drums will transport your guests to a far-off island and provide a tropical, romantic feel. Silent Discos have been making their way into the trend books lately and are a great way of keeping guests entertained if your venue gives you a cut off time for music.

If you really want to blow your guests away, hire acrobatsor dancers to accompany your string quartet or band.


Why have paper name cards or menus when you can write on stone or slate? This doubles up as a lovely wedding favour and also saves the trees.

TRENDS TO LOOK OUT FORNow we have covered the main aspects of your day, here are some other trends that we think are set to stick around.

Unplugged Weddings. Last year was all about the custom hashtags and Instagram posts, which is great for the after party, but why pay for a professional photographer to take pictures of everybody taking pictures? This is why couples are opting to ask their guests to leave their phones alone during the ceremony. It’s a bold ask in this day and age but we can guarantee they will enjoy the experience much more.

Image Mapping Technology. Do you want to transform your venue with thousands of pounds worth of fl owers yet don’t have the budget? Or maybe you want a Christmas Winter Wonderland but can’t make it snow?

Image mapping projects moving pictures and lights on to all the walls and ceilings of your venue to help create anything you want! It is tech forward and can save you money on your dream décor.

Earth Friendly Weddings. More and more couples are wanting to reduce their spend and their carbon footprint with their wedding day and there are many different ways to do so.

Instead of a favour, donate to a charity on behalf of your guests. Use locally sourced, in season fl owers and food to add an artisan factor to your day. Instead of throwing your fl owers away, donate them to a local nursing home for others to enjoy!
