all our staff enough, we will 

continue to work hard and 

provide great customer service. 

“Customers know exactly

delicious, freshly prepared, top 

quality food; served by friendly 

people who aim to please every

Report by Holly Rummens 

A SCHOOLBOY from Formby has 

been arrested after a handgun was 

intercepted en route from the USA to 

Merseyside. 

Matrix officers carried out a firearms 

warrant at an address in Formby and 

arrested a 15 year old on suspicion of 

importation of a firearm. 

The Champion understands as part 

of the investigation, Merseyside 

Police and UK Border Force recovered 

the handgun which had been ordered 

from the United States and was 

destined for a property in Formby. 

It is becoming increasingly easy to 

purchase and order handguns into the 

UK over the internet, with hundreds 

of websites offering cheap deals on 

firearms to be imported into the UK 

from the US. 

Detective Superintendent, Chris 

Green said: “As part of this 

investigation we have recovered a 

handgun which we believe was 

ordered from the United States. 

15 year old arrested on suspicion 

of importing firearm from USA 

“Working together with UK Border 

Force we were able to stop the 

weapon from reaching its final 

destination. 

“Our message to those involved in 

gun crime is clear, we are relentless in 

our pursuit of those who use firearms 

on our streets. 

“Preventing the distribution and 

supply of firearms is a priority for us 

and we will endeavour to do what we 

can with partners like the UK Border 

Force to stop guns from coming in to 

circulation on Merseyside.” 

Merseyside Police have revealed that 

a total of 55 firearms have been seized 

throughout this year. Including semi 

automatic pistols, sawn off shotguns, 

revolvers and rifles. 

However, police believe the haul 

represents only a fraction of guns that 

are circulating in the community. 

The chief constable of Merseyside 

Police, Jon Murphy, said more needed 

to be done to stop weapons entering 

the country. 

He said: “I think 55 in Merseyside 

alone is a worrying figure, and we 

need to do more to make the borders 

less porous. 

“It’s a huge challenge, but we do 

everything we can to develop 

intelligence on weapon–trafficking 

flows, we work with our hi–tech 

crime unit to try to identify 

transactions on the internet. 

“It’s a big job, but we have specialists 

who are looking at it and trying to do 

everything we can to stop it.” 

The boy was taken to a police station 

on Merseyside where he was 

questioned by detectives. He has been 

released on police bail pending 

further enquiries.

Fines for parents 

of suspended 

pupils caught 

out in public 

Report by Tom Martin 

PARENTS have been warned that they can now 

be fined up to £120 if their child is caught out 

in public during a school suspension under 

new council plans approved this week. 

It is the latest measure in a bid to place more 

scrutiny on parents following the law passed 

on September 1 which made it a punishable 

offence to take children out of school during 

term–time. 

The updated rules now mean that if an 

excluded child is spotted outside during 

normal school hours and there is no 

“reasonable justification” then an 

investigation will be carried out and a fine 

could be issued. 

It applies to any of the first five days of a 

suspension and puts more pressure on parents 

to look after their child during an exclusion. 

Parents will first be given a warning and 

reminded of their duty to preoccupy their 

children during a suspension. 

But if a penalty notice is issued, which could 

be £120, and not paid within 28 days then 

parents could face prosecution at Magistrates 

Court. 

Any income raised from penalty notices will 

go to the local authority to meet the costs of 

issuing the notices and prosecuting those who 

do not pay within the time scale. 

The Sefton Council report, called Procedures 

for Issuing Education–related Penalty Notices, 

Parents to face fines under new school 

crackdown 

said: “Where the local authority is notified that 

a parent/carer is believed to be failing in their 

statutory duty to ensure such children are not 

in a public place, an investigation will be 

undertaken to establish the basic facts of the 

case. 

“However, a parent has a defence if they can 

prove reasonable justification. 

“A competent justification which is capable of 

being regarded as reasonable will depend on 

the parents ‘facts’ being backed up by proof.” 

However, the plans could be delayed if a 

“call–in” is reached but the deadline for this is 

Monday September 30. 

A council decision can be called–in by a 

scrutiny committee but they must state the 

reasons and present an alternative solution. 

If this deadline lapses, then the new rules will 

come into force on Tuesday, October 1.

Formby Junior Sports Club under 12 girls team mascots. 

FORMBY Junior Sports Club Under 

12’s Girls team were delighted after 

being chosen to be mascots for the 

Liverpool v Everton ladies match, 

where they even got the chance to see 

themselves on television. 

Together with seventeen other 

Merseyside clubs FJSC was placed 

into a draw to decide who would have 

the honour to be mascots for the 

ladies derby match at Halton Stadium 

on Thursday September 12. 

FJSC won the draw and all the girls 

were ecstatic to be mascots during the 

match which was shown live on BT

with FJSC’s midfield player Eleanor 

Cockbain. The referee then led the 

teams out with their player’s escorts. 

The girls then watched the match 

which was eventually won by 

Liverpool thanks to a strong second 

half display and now need a win in 

their last game to become League 

Champions.

Project is helping spinal injury 

patients return home quicker 

by Holly Rummens 

You name the price and we will make a 

Kitchen that fits YOUR budget. 

Whether it be Traditional, 

Contemporary or Modern we can design 

and make your DREAM KITCHEN. 

EVERY ASPECT OF BUILDING WORK 

UNDERTAKEN 

1122570 

PATIENTS with spinal injuries are returning 

home quicker thanks to innovative work 

between two charities in Southport. 

The project was formed by staff at the 

North West Regional Spinal Injuries Centre 

based at Southport and Formby District 

General Hospital. 

Centre Director Dr Clive Glass said: 

“Advances in medicine mean patients who 

might once have died from a spinal cord 

injury will survive. 

“Up to 130 people a year now need our 

specialist help which is a challenge with 

only 43 beds when some might require 

months of rehabilitation as an inpatient.” 

Staff began working with two charities to 

find a solution, focussing on finding 

accommodation for patients who still 

needed specialist treatment and support 

from the centre, but not necessarily a 

hospital bed. 

Vitalise, a national charity providing 

respite care for disabled people, runs 

Sandpipers on Southport’s Marine Lake, 

and a local charity, the Spinal Unit Action 

Group provides short and long–term care 

for people with spinal cord injury. 

Imelda Weir, spinal outreach service 

manager at the centre, said: “The patients 

who now stay with Sandpipers and Weld 

Road are still our patients and are treated by 

spinal medical, nursing and therapy staff 

from the centre. By maintaining an ‘open 

bed’ within the centre they can immediately 

return if a problem arises. 

“It’s brilliant for patients because they get 

the clinical care they need from spinal 

injuries centre staff and all the benefits of 

community living without the need to be in 

hospital.” 

A spokesperson for the project added: 

“The impact of the changes has been 

dramatic too for newly–injured patients 

waiting for admission to the spinal injuries 

centre. The wait from referral to admission 

has dropped by more than a third and, 

thanks to the confidence the project gives 

patients, they are now going home 17 days 

earlier on average than before.” 

Dr Glass continued: “We’ve seen dramatic 

improvements in perceptions of control and 

patients’ overall quality of life and their 

mood. There are no negatives.” 

Ed Fletcher, the chair of Southport Spinal 

Injuries Patient Group, added: “The 

combination of NHS and third sector has 

worked beautifully. It ought to be held out 

as a beacon of how other people can do it.”


Proposals for 13 homes 

passed despite protests 

Report by 

Tom Martin 

ANGRY residents have claimed “our 

voices are being ignored” after Sefton 

Council finally passed plans to build 

new homes in Hightown. 

A petition against the proposals was 

signed by over 900 people after fears 

it would create heavy traffic 

congestion in the town and spoil the 

unique rural feel of the area. 

And the Hightown Residents’ Action 

Group (HRAG) made a last–gasp 

appeal at a planning meeting on 

Wednesday, September 18. 

But a company called Hourwatch 

Limited have now been given the 

go–ahead to start building 13 new 

houses on a privately–owned site off 

Kerslake Way and Lower Alt Road. 

A spokesperson for HRAG, Bob 

Daniels, said: “We are appalled at the 

decision made by the planning 

committee in favour of the decision to 

build homes in our town. 

“They have ignored vast opposition 

and failed to even address our 

concerns. 

“Sefton Council should be mindful 

of their undemocratic decision and 

their Local Plan will now be 

scrutinised”. 

The plans were first approved by the 

council on August 21 but due to an 

administrative error, the meeting was 

rearranged to September 18. 

The reason behind this was because 

two objections letters received by 

planning services shortly before the 

meeting were not reported to the 

planning committee. 

Sefton Central MP Bill Esterson 

with Hightown Parish Councillors 

and residents 

Code NA 

Residents claim that the 

introduction of a one–way system 

would make it difficult to hold village 

events and parking restrictions will 

damage trading at local shops. 

Sefton Central Labour MP Bill 

Esterson has been working closely 

with Hightown residents and wrote to 

Sefton’s planning committee detailing 

his concerns. 

He said: “I am disappointed that the 

planning committee wasn’t able to 

find a way of supporting residents in 

Hightown who are very worried about 

this development. 

“They were concerned that the 

development would change the 

distinct character of Hightown. 

“These were all concerns that I 

completely understand. 

“I hope that when the developers 

move in, the planning department 

will do its utmost to make sure they 

mitigate the impact of the 

F 

development on the existing 

community.” 

The council were urged to send 

letters to every single property within 

Hightown notifying them of the 

approved plans but this has been 

refused as they are not legally 

required to do so. 

The chairman of the Hightown 

Parish Council, Tim Asbury, has 

claimed it is difficult to fight the 

council because they have limited 

funds. 

He said: “I am very depressed at the 

news and deeply concerned with the 

planning process at Sefton Council. 

“We had a petition against the plans 

with over 900 signatures from 

residents but these were totally 

ignored. 

“Sadly we have found ourselves in a 

situation where we are forced to pay 

for democracy because our only 

option now is to go through a judicial 

review and we can’t afford it. 

“We are only a small community so 

how can we fight the proposals if we 

don’t have the funds?” 

But the planning report from Sefton 

Council claims it will not harm the 

“character” of the town. 

It said: “The main issues to consider 

are the impact on highway safety, the 

character of the area, the residential 

amenity, protected species and 

protected trees. 

“The site is acceptable as it is 

complies with policy, adds to the 

housing supply within Sefton, does 

not cause harm to amenity and will be 

of benefit to the wider public 

interest.”

Mother and daughter complete 

trek to help Asian moon bears 


A MOTHER and daughter from Formby have 

completed a 19 mile trek across the wilds of 

Dartmoor to raise funds for one of the most 

abused animals on the planet. 

Sue and Sophie Prince have raised over 

£1,100 to support the charity Animals Asia 

Foundation, which is committed to ending 

bear bile farming in China and Vietnam. 

Across Asia an estimated 14,000 moon 

bears, named after their golden crescent on 

their chest, are victims of the bear bile 

industry which is a common ingredient in 

traditional Chinese medicine. 

Sue Prince, who works at the Formby 

Village Vets, said: “The trek was great fun, 

despite drizzle and low lying mist for most 

of the walk, it only lifted for about half an 

hour so we were able to see some of the 

amazing scenery for which Dartmoor is 

famous. 

“We came across a number of Dartmoor 

ponies, which are gorgeous, and the 

camaraderie on these type of events always 

keeps your spirits up. 

“There were about 30 of us all in all, some 

were raising money for Animals Asia and 

others were raising funds for Nowzad Dogs, 

a charity dedicated to helping stray and 

abandoned dogs and cats in Afghanistan. 

“My daughter Sophie went one step 

further and did the famous Dartmoor Tors 

abseil on the Sunday. She has raised the 

most amount of money out of the two of use 

and I am really proud of her.” 

The trek mostly followed the route of the 

Royal Marine Green Beret 30 mile 

endurance march.

Sweet Memories 

kept alive thanks to 

bookshop owner 


EVER fancied tucking into a bag of pick ‘n’ mix 

whilst reading one of your favourite novels? 

Well now you can as two of Formby’s local 

stores have combined businesses. 

The Olde Book Shop and Sweet Memories in 

Formby Village have combined businesses to 

save on rent and still keep both business afloat. 

Shop local is a massive subject in Formby and 

is encouraged by all local businesses in the 

Village, so when John from the Olde Book Shop 

heard about Sweet Memories closing down 

due to the lease expiring, he quickly stepped in 

to give a helping hand. 

John Russell, owner of the Olde Book Shop 

said: “Basically we are now going with the 

theme the Olde Sweet Shop within the Olde 

Book Shop, all our customers are really pleased 

with the idea and it means two local shops are 

still available in the village, and nobody loses 

out. 

“Although we have combined businesses, it 

hasn’t effected the amount of stock we have in 

store, in fact we are looking to increase the 

amount of books we store.” 

The combined store opened earlier this 

month and stocks retro sweets such as bon 

bons, refreshers and pick ‘n’ mix, while the 

Olde Book Shop sells books written by local 

authors from around the area, giving them a 

head start in their writing career. 

John, who lives in Birkdale added: “I have 

worked in Formby for the past seven years and 

it is definitely a community based village, 

which is great, everyone always seems to look 

out for each other and it’s great to give 

something back and help out another 

business.”

Payday loan 

debt cases 

rise tenfold in 

12 months 

across Sefton 

Citizen Advice staff urge action 

against unscrupulous lenders 

by Ollie Cowan 

THE number of payday loans debt 

cases put before Sefton’s Citizen 

Advice service has risen tenfold 

over the last year, according to 

latest research. 

Statistics acquired by Citizens 

Advice Sefton (CAS) show that 

the number of payday loan debt 

cases they have had to deal with 

in the past 12 months has risen 

dramatically as more people turn 

to high street money lenders as a 

quick way to get cash. 

As a result the CAS is urging 

payday loan customers to fight 

back against unscrupulous 

lenders. 

Three in four payday borrowers 

who got advice from Citizens 

Advice consumer service had 

been treated unfairly by their 

lender and could have grounds 

for an official complaint to the 

Financial Ombudsman Service, 

says the national charity. 

Today Citizens Advice Sefton is 

launching a month–long 

campaign urging payday loan 

customers not to let predatory 

lenders get away with treating 

them unfairly. 

Just recently, Southport’s 

Citizens Advice helped one 

woman, who wished to remain 

nameless, after she had money 

unexpectedly taken from her 

bank account by a payday lender 

despite never taking out a loan. 

If a complaint is upheld by the 

Financial Ombudsman – and the 

consumer has lost out as a result – 

the lender can be ordered to put 

things right. 

Consumers could get a refund 

on loan repayments, interest or 

default charges or compensation 

for any inconvenience caused. 

Citizens Advice payday loan 

tracker also found that 71% of 

payday loan customers felt they 

were put under pressure to 

rollover their loan and 3 in 4 

people had repayment problems. 

Jane Groves, the Bureau 

Operational and Development 

Manager at Citizens Advice 

Sefton said: “We are urging 

people to stand up to payday 

lenders who have treated them 

unfairly by making a complaint. 

“People come to the bureau 

after lenders have taken money 

from their bank account without 

permission or prior warning or 

have chased them for debts they 

didn’t have. 

“Consumers often feel 

powerless against big business 

but if you’re complaint is upheld 

by the Financial Ombudsman you 

could get money back that was 

wrongly taken or compensation 

for poor treatment.” 

To get help with debts visit 

www.adviceguide.org.uk or head 

to your local Citizens Advice 

Bureau. 

This week, Citizens Advice is 

upping its Payday Loan Fairplay 

campaign. 

The service is calling for more 

robust and effective regulation 

and enforcement of payday 

lenders. This will work alongside 

a removal of irresponsible 

advertising aimed at young or 

vulnerable people and the 

introduction of levies paid by 

payday lenders to the Financial 

Conduct Authority.

New plans to help 

reduce homeless 

number in Sefton 

Report by Tom Martin 

SEFTON Council has vowed to reduce the 

number of homeless people on the streets 

under new plans coming into effect this week. 

It has emerged that since 2012, there have 

been nearly 200 people recorded as homeless 

which is a dramatic rise from 2010–2011, 

when the figure was only 107. 

The introduction of the Homelessness Act in 

2002 meant that local authorities had to 

produce a five–year plan to tackle 

homelessness. 

Sefton Council’s previous strategy expires this 

year but they are hoping that the 2013–2018 

report will tackle the problem further. 

A Cabinet Member for Regeneration and 

Tourism, Ian Maher, said: “This is our third 

strategy and builds upon the work of the first 

two carried out in 2003 and 2008. 

“Without an affordable, settled and secure 

home it is very difficult to establish a sound 

basis on which to build a future. 

“The impact on all generations is significant 

and children who experience homelessness are 

disadvantaged in terms of their health, 

well–being and education. 

“Young people are excluded from 

opportunities that are available to their peers, 

and at a higher risk of becoming victims and 

perpetrators of crime. 

“Older homeless people experience poor 

health and social isolation”. 

The plans were put forward by a 

Homelessness Forum, which has met five times 

since its creation in December 2012 to oversee 

the strategy.

Council will hope to reduce the level of 

homelessness 

The review process has involved a number of 

talks with agencies that provide homeless 

related services and with homeless clients. 

Those undertaking the review have also 

conducted surveys, individual interviews and 

attended group meetings. 

Mr. Maher, added: “We know that 

homelessness, and the risk of homelessness, 

blights lives. 

“We are proud of the work we have done to 

prevent homelessness, and address the needs 

of homeless people, but this strategy makes it 

clear that more needs to be done.” 

A key point of the strategy will involve the 

need to supply land on which to build more 

houses. 

Over 86% of homes in Sefton are privately 

owned but around 20% are in serious disrepair 

or do not meet the statutory fitness standard 

with problems such as heating.

Marine Lake must be dredged of 

algae and rubbish in a proper way 

Re: Marine Lake work. 

Obviously this will need to involve careful 

prioritisation. 

We the people of Southport have been 

promised time and time again that the 

Marine Lake needs to be dredged in a proper 

and professional manner. 

If it is not the council will once again 

become a laughing stock. 

Walk across the lake via Millennium Bridge 

and you will come across a half metre of 

allgae growing in the water. 

Cross via the pier and road bridge and you 

will come across debrie galore, slopping 

trolleys, road cones, tyres, boots and shoes,

Recently my daughter, her two little boys 

and I visited the newly refurbished 

Southport Market, enjoying shopping and a 

light lunch. 

We needed the baby changing facilities and 

to our relief found clean, manageable, and 

comfortable facilities. 

Our thanks and appreciation to the 

planners, very often these facilities are 

forgotten, but to families are a necessity. 

A visit to Southport Market is now an 

enjoyable and friendly one, knowing that 

much needed facilities are now available.

you name it you will find it. 

Mistake after mistake are etched in our 

minds. When the council get involved with 

work? 

We had Neville Street revamped five years 

ago and it is still a disgrace, with coloured 

paving flags, and spotlights fixed to a street 

lamp to light up a Queen Victoria statue. 

Please, please, please get something right, 

so Southport people and visitors can admire 

something for once.

PICTURE of the week 

Letter boxes are 

not user friendly 

Once a year, every householder should be 

asked to go outside their home with an 

ordinary letter or catalogue and try to post it 

through their own letter box. 

Many would be amazed at how difficult this 

can be: ground–level letter boxes are 

back–breaking, vertical ones really awkward, 

some too small, some so stiff they snap your 

fingers, some where the inside hole is smaller 

than the outside slot so you can’t locate it. 

Maybe after a few attempts people might be 

inspired to change their letter box for a more 

user–friendly one. 

And the ideal letter box – horizontal, 3–5ft 

above ground, wide slot, easy spring, big inside 

hole. Comments please!

I am happy to continue to be 

looked after by Southport A&E 

I would like to reply to the recent letter by John 

Marshall. 

It is wonderful that he has marvellous 

life–saving treatment in the past (his words). 

Tell me Mr Marshall did you write to the 

paper then or the hospital? 

I doubt it – all most people seem to do these 

days is complain. 

Of course on most nights A&E is noisy and 

bustling. It is the nature of the beast these days. 

But why blame the staff? 

People are treated with respect and they 

complain, or worse still, sue. 

And should the hospital do with the poor 

souls with dementia – drug them to keep them

6mph too fast for 

mobility scooters 

Having read the ‘Speed Limit’ letters in the 

Champion I have to mention mobility scooters 

on Lord Street pavement. 

I believe the top speed is 6mph, which is too 

fast when children are on the pavements. 

A little bit more thought and consideration by 

the moblity scooters users would be 

appreciated.

quiet in case they upset other patients? This is 

not allowed! And how do they keep them in 

bed? Why is it people happily complain but 

never suggest a solution? 

I personally am fed up of reading these sorts 

of letters. I know first–hand how hard these 

staff work, having been many times. 

I know the whingers will not be happy with 

this letter. 

But as for this grateful being, I am happy to 

continue to be looked after at Southport A&E. 

Bless them all. 

’Contented patient’ 

Name and address supplied. 

Patients should 

raise concerns 

with our staff 

I was sorry to read some of John Marshall’s 

care at Southport Hospital appeared to fall 

below the high standards we set our– selves 

(Letters, September 11). 

However, we have no record of Mr 

Marshall contacting us at the time which 

makes it difficult to investigate the points he 

raises. 

In particular, I was surprised by his claim 

to have seen an uncovered patient being 

taken to the mortuary. 

I know the families of other patients will 

also be concerned. 

I want reassure them we have strict 

procedures for the treat– ment of patients 

who die in our care, underpinned by the 

principle they are given the same respect 

and dignity as the living. 

What Mr Marshall may have seen was a 

patient returning from theatre. 

Patients or visitors seeing or experiencing 

care they are unhappy about while in 

hospital should always raise it with a 

member of staff. 

In this way we can act straight away and 

put it right for the individual affected as well 

as patients who come after them. 

Liz Yates, Director of nursing and quality, 

Southport and Ormskirk Hospital NHS Trust 

Care given was 

second to none 

We would publicly like to thank all the staff at 

both Southport Accident and Emergency and 

Ormskirk Ante Natal for their professionalism 

and care during the evening of September 14. 

We would also like to thank the ambulance 

crews who attended at the Civic Hall im 

Ormskirk and the crew who later took us to 

Ormskirk Hospital. The care and medical help 

given was second to none. 

The only issue I have is that there now have to 

be notices highlighting zero tolerance 

regarding violence to NHS staff. What a sad 

reflection this is on present society that such 

notices are necessary. 

Again thanks to all staff.

Air show: ‘It’s 

too early to 

second guess 

commercial 

performance’ 


SEFTON Council chiefs say that 

fall back provisions are in place to 

cope with unforeseen scenarios 

surrounding Southport Air Show. 

The second day of this year’s air 

show (Sunday, September 15) 

had to be cancelled due to severe 

weather warnings. 

A refund process is now in place 

to compensate people who 

bought a ticket for the Sunday 

show. 

Any unused tickets purchased 

over the phone or at the Visitor 

Services based at The Atkinson 

Arts Centre will need to be taken 

back to the centre. 

Customers who bought tickets 

online or via the official app 

should 

email 

southportairshow@visitsouthport.com 

before September 30. 

You will need to provide your 

full name, the email address used 

to book tickets, how many tickets 

were purchased and an order 

number. 

Customers who bought tickets 

through a ticket agency should 

send their unused tickets back for 

the attention of Helen Ford to 

Southport Town Hall, Lord 

Street, Southport, PR8 1DA. 

Last week The Champion 

reported that despite a successful 

Saturday show, the council may 

still make a loss. This was based 

on a 2012 Freedom Request 

which showed figures from 2010, 

when the Sunday show was also 

cancelled due to bad weather. 

In response to our article last 

week, a council spokesperson 

said: “Last week’s article in the 

Southport Champion (September 

18) reported how Sefton Council 

could be hit with a financial loss 

of nearly £50,000 after Sunday’s 

Southport Air Show was 

cancelled due to extreme 

weather. 

“Such details were taken from 

an old Freedom of Information 

request and based on figures 

following the cancellation of one 

day of the show in 2010. 

“The risk attached to the 

Southport Air Show, which is 

clearly subject to the weather, 

was mitigated by various 

indemnities 

including 

cancellation insurance. 

“As a result a claim will 

be progressed following this 

year’s cancellation and until this 

is finalised, it would be rather 

premature to second guess the 

final commercial performance of 

this year’s event. 

“Further information on what 

we believe was a very successful 

show will be released later in the 

year.”

focus of the area. 

A spokesperson for Formby 

Parish Council said: “Very often 

doing nothing brings about a slow 

decay in the environment and our 

parish council is determined not 

to let that happen. 

“Little has been done until the 

parish council began its 

programme of replacing the 

planters and maintaining the 

flowerbeds and roundabouts 

three years ago.” 

The second phase of the 

programme is the design of a 

Formby Wifi project based at 

Formby Pool. It is anticipated that 

it should take up to two or three 

months to complete the first stage 

of the work. 

Newly elected deputy leader 

Mike Coles said: “It is an honour 

to serve again especially at a time 

when we are working on some 

important projects and the 

council begins work on the 

Neighbourhood Plan. 

“I believe the contribution and 

work that we have made in the 

ten years of the council has made 

a real difference. But as time goes 

on we will find that more will be 

expected from us and as far as 

Formby is concerned we have 

made a solid start and will 

continue to do our best to keep 

Formby looking its best.” 

A TOTAL of 364 Merseyside Army 

Cadet Force members attended this 

year’s Annual Camp held at

Besides completing basic Military

Babyballet. 

Jennifer Berrett or ‘Miss Jennifer’ as she is 

more commonly known to her pupils was 

presented with the award at the National 

Babyballet conference at the Tower Hotel, 

West Yorkshire. 

The reward recognises the amount of work 

Jennifer does, not just by running local classes 

and teaching dance to over 200 preschool boys

the Babyballet nationally. 

Miss Jennifer has performed in babyballet live 

at The Baby Show in Earls Court, London, The 

Littler Funfestat Red House Farm and York 

Maze, alongside Mr Bloom, Mr Maker and Alex 

Winters from Cbeebies. 

Babyballet provides pre–school ballet classes

years with the ethos firmly on fun. 

Jennifer, who teaches classes in Southport 

and Formby, said: “It is a great honour to be 

recognised at a National level, for something 

that you believe so passionately in. I know it 

sounds cliché but I really do love my job!”

Up the Swanny! 


IMAGINE cycling 4,750 miles around the 

entire Great British coastline, facing only 250 

more miles until your goal and then the trailer 

you’re pulling for charity breaks down. 

That was the problem faced last week by 

Malcolm ‘Swanny’ McCarthy from 

Aberystwyth, who is in the process of 

completing a 5,000 mile around Britain cycle 

trip for three worthwhile charities. 

Swanny left his home town on March 3 and 

has cycled 50 miles a day, every three days, 

with the view of completing the grueling 

challenge before his 40th birthday in 

December. 

However after a night of sleeping on the 

Ainsdale sand dunes, Swanny found that his 

trailer had become severely damaged and 

needed repair. 

If he couldn’t get it fixed, his journey would 

be called off – just 250 miles away from his 

goal. 

“I was facing an absolute nightmare,” 

Swanny told The Champion. 

“After all those miles, all the sleeping rough, 

camping and spreading the good word for my 

charities I was devastated. 

“Fortunately I found Birkdale Engineering 

Company, who stepped in and fixed my trailer 

for me. 

“It’s as good as new now and I can carry on 

my journey for the Ty Hafan Hospice, Children 

with Cancer and Cancer Research UK.” 

The Welsh artist and woodworker continued: 

“Sleeping on the sand dunes may have been 

one of the roughest sleeps I’ve had on my 

journey – and I’ve slept through hail, wind and 

snow! 

“When the wind and rain are battering down 

I’m still out there clocking up the miles, setting 

up base camp late at night or packing away 

early in the morning. 

“I decided to make the trip after losing my 

... but Birkdale firm 

comes to the rescue

“My aches and pains pale into insignificance 

when I think of the pain and loss people have 

felt. 

“I never question why I’m doing it. 

“The things that people have shared with me 

fill me with determination and will power even 

more.” 

Swanny aims to raise £15,000 throughout his 

journey.

Sefton Central Labour MP Bill Esterson with Merseyside Fire Authority vice chairman Les 

Byrom and chief fire officer Dan Stephenson. 

Code NA 

MP given tour of 

new fire station 

can be a very dangerous job, where they put 


their lives at risk in order to save others. A fact 

all too tragically illustrated with the recent 

death of Manchester fire fighter Stephen Hunt. 

FIREFIGHTERS at Formby Community Fire 

Station have given Labour MP Bill Esterson a 

full guided tour of the new facilities. 

Formby MP Bill Esterson was show round the 

Formby Community Fire Station this week by 

Merseyside chief fire officer Dan Stephens and 

Merseyside Fire Authority vice chairman Cllr 

“Our fire fighters do a great job in keeping us 

safe, not just during times of fire, but also 

through working to ensure that we are all 

aware of the dangers of fire and how best to 

prevent it. That’s why Merseyside has one of 

the strongest Fire and Rescue Services in the 

country.” 

Les Byrom. 

Bill also heard how the new Formby 

The MP got the chance to see the new hi–tech 

facilities at the station on Church Road. 

Bill said: “I would like to thank chief fire 

officer Stephens and Cllr Byrom for taking the 

time out and showing me around this fantastic 

new community facility. It was fascinating to 

get an insight into just what our brave fire 

fighters do day in and day out. 

“For instance, who would have known that 

half of a fire fighters’ working day is taken up 

with training – two hours of which is in the 

classroom. 

“But after chief fire officer Stephens and Cllr 

Byrom showed me around a fire engine and 

some of the equipment the fire fighters have to 

use, I can fully understand why there is so 

Community Fire Station really is a community 

facility. 

MP Bill Esterson added: “This is a community 

facility. Not only is it a working fire station, it is 

a community amenity. 

“There’s a community room at the station 

which local community groups can book to use 

as frequently as they want. Be that local clubs, 

organisations or even local churches can all use 

the station for free of charge. All you have to do 

is contact the station to book in.” 

Labour MP Bill Esterson has said he has also 

been working closely with Merseyside Fire 

Authority and chief fire officer Dan Stephens to 

try and prevent any further cuts being made to 

the emergency service. 

much training required. Fire fighting is a very 

skilled job.

THE RECENTLY formed Formby Swimming 

Club are continuing to go from strength to 

strength after attending their first Gala. 

The club which has achieved registration 

with the Amateur Swimming Association 

(ASA), allowing them to enter a wide range 

of formal Galas, had three ten–year–old 

swimmers representing the Formby club. 

At the Merseyside wide Tadpoles Gala in 

Everton Park on Saturday, September 14 the 

young swimmers each battled it out for their 

own personal best goals. 

Anthony Noon, became the club’s first 

ever swimmer in a competitive race to 

achieve a credible time of 50.62 seconds in 

the boys 50m backstroke. 

He was quickly followed by Freya Walsh, 

who was the first female competitor for the 

town racing in the 50m breaststroke. She 

also competed in the 50m backstroke 

achieving a time of 48.97 seconds. 

Sam Riley and Antony Noon both swam in 

the boys 50m breaststroke before a fantastic 

second swim of the day from Sam who

in the boys 50m Fly, beating 13 other with 

his personal best time of 39.66 seconds.

Cumberbatch, head coach expressing 

delight at the results.

Vintage bike 

is stolen in 

raid at farm 

A VINTAGE motorcycle was 

stolen during a burglary on a 

farm. 

The satin red vintage Corgi 

motorcycle, which is about 70 

years old, was taken along with a 

large amount of tools from a farm 

on New Cut Lane in Halsall 

between 12pm on Sunday 

September 8 and 7.40am the 

following morning, Monday 

September 9. 

The offenders forced their way 

into a large freestanding 

workshop where they took tools 

and high value grinders. 

They then forced their way into 

another two workshops and stole 

the rare motorcycle before using 

cutting equipment to cut 6ft of 

yellow hosepipe from within the 

yard and using it to steal a 

quantity of kerosene from a 

tanker. 

PC Sarah Parker said: “The 

stolen satin red vintage corgi 

motorcycle is a rare collector’s 

item and as such is not registered 

for road use. 

The vintage motorcycle 

“It is only around two foot in 

height and is very distinctive with 

a black chassis and painted 

number plate. 

“We believe this vehicle was 

deliberately targeted and would 

urge anybody who has been 

offered it for sale or knows of its 

current whereabouts to contact 

police.”

His colleague Councillor Pat Keith

that these young children have the 

right provision. 

“The emotions of a two–year–old 

can take on a roller coaster quality 

as they go from excitement to anger 

to laughter within a few moments. 

“They are naturally inquisitive 

and need time and space to explore, 

push, pull, fill, prod and touch. I 

would like to be assured that the 

children who are placed in schools

children.” 

Councillor Keith added: “It’s 

reassuring to learn that the toddlers 

will be placed in good and 

outstanding settings which, 

according to government research, 

provide real developmental 

benefits. 

“Conversely, two–year–olds in 

poorer quality settings are no better 

off than those who stay at home. All 

the evidence suggests that the 

quality of the staff is the key 

determinant.”

Twitter ye not! 


MORE and more politicians, 

MPs and councillors are 

signing up to Twitter, an 

online microblogging service 

that enables users to send 

and read “tweets”, which are 

text messages limited to 140 

characters, in an effort to 

better engage and 

communicate with their 

constituents. 

A new report by UK think 

tank Parliament Street has 

this week published a special 

MP Twitter Index report, 

comparing how well each 

member of parliament is 

doing on the site. 

The report includes the 

number of followers, or 

readers, that an MP has and 

how many followers they 

have gained since 2012. 

Steven George–Hilley, 

director of technology for 

Parliament Street said: 

“Social media is now a 

defining feature of modern 

society, influencing every 

aspect of life. 

“By using social sites like 

Twitter, MPs can build trust 

with the electorate and 

engage the next generation 

in the political process.” 

Southport’s MP John Pugh 

only found his way onto 

Twitter last year, joining on 

July 12 with the username 

@johnpughmp. 

Since his first tweet about 

the Health and Social Care 

Act, John has written 104 

messages and amassed 1,092 

followers who are interested 

in seeing what he has to say 

about his constituency. 

Many twitter users from 

Southport send messages to 

John asking him to look at 

and support various 

petitions, whilst others raise 

concerns that they have 

about local issues. 

John told The Champion: 

“As Frankie Howard might 

have said ”Twitter Ye Not“ – 

that used to be my attitude. 

“I got infuriated by seeing 

people fiddling with their 

...but more and more MPs are 

deciding to take the plunge 

and tweet their news to 

constituents, says new report 

John Pugh’s Twitter presence 

phones not meeting the eye 

of the people in front of them, 

communicating with unseen 

followers banal boring 

details of their everyday life 

which seemed in any case to 

mostly consist of fiddling 

with their phones. 

“For some the busy, facile, 

virtual world they were in 

replaced the real one. No 

time for silence, reflection, 

prolonged thought just a 

constant prodding on the 

keyboard and endless 

interaction. 

“However, its a bit like 

hating cars because there are 

so many wannabe Jeremy 

Clarksons behind the wheel. 

“It became obvious that 

tweeting might have some 

real use to politicians and 

constituents– sharing a good 

joke, getting a response out 

to the news agenda quickly, 

spreading the word about a 

forthcoming event, picking 

up on news, correcting false 

rumours etc. 

“I have ventured in 

cautiously as @johnpughmp 

but with some reservations. 

“I avoid boring party 

political tweets and tweeters. 

I don’t use tweeting as a 

substitute for dialogue, 

conversation or even e–mail 

exchange– that seems a sure 

route to living your life on the 

net and that’s just sad. 

“I follow the Champion 

twitter feed but if I actually 

want to talk to the Champ I’ll 

pick up the phone and make 

personal contact.” 

Neighboring Sefton Central 

MP Bill Esterson has a slightly 

larger following, with 5,709 

people choosing to read his 

tweets each day. 

Whilst this may seem 

impressive, MP’s social media 

presence in Sefton pales in 

comparison to MPs from 

other areas, some of whom 

have racked up well over 

20,000 followers in the last 

12 months. 

Tom Watson, a Member of 

Parliament for Wes 

Bromwich East, has gained 

38,000 new followers since 

he penned a book detailing 

corruption within the media 

outfit NewsCorp. 

His prolific twitter presence 

has seen the biggest increase 

in followers of all the 

backbench MPs surveyed.

Downton’s 

good – but 

it ain’t great 

AS I write this there are just three days to wait 

for the first episode in the new series of ITV’s 

Downton Abbey. 

Well, you couldn’t not know that, assuming 

you ever watch TV or read a newspaper or 

magazine, could you? For weeks there has 

been a perpetual bombardment of stories 

placed in the media about the private lives of 

the cast and their relationships, about the 

programme itself, about how long this already 

long–running saga can continue. 

Now, don’t get me wrong, I have watched 

and enjoyed Downton since it started. But that 

doesn’t stop me from being sick and tired of 

what amounts to almost continual advertising 

for this programme. 

You might think this is one of television’s 

greatest dramatic productions. Something that 

will obviously go down in TV history as one of 

its greats. Well, it isn’t. And I doubt if in 10 

years’ time anybody will still be bothering to 

watch repeats. 

Downton Abbey is a good series. It provides 

an agreeable Sunday evening slot – though 

personally I much preferred the excellent 

‘Vera’ which it has replaced. But compare it to 

the original Upstairs Downstairs, or to all–time 

greats such as the Forsyte Saga and frankly, 

when it comes to greatness, it just ‘aint there. 

I’m not being dog in the manger about this, 

more guard dog against inflated aspirations for 

a good, but not great, programme which is 

being over–hyped and overblown. 

Let’s face it, Downton is frequently 

historically inaccurate; it is too often mired in 

politically correct causes; and – because of the 

hype – we already know a good deal about the 

plot line of this new series beforehand. 

Actually, thinking of Upstairs Downstairs (a 

truly great programme) reminded me of my 

dad. 

Now, dad’s idea of something to watch on 

TV, if it wasn’t horse racing, was a good, 

old–fashioned Western – like Wagon Train or 

the doings on the Ponderosa. 

At weekends his evenings were usually spent 

in a local pub. 

But something strange happened when he 

saw, by accident, an early episode of Upstairs, 

Downstairs. At that time (it must have been in 

the early to mid–1970s) I was living and 

working in Colchester, but coming home at 

weekends when I could. 

Normally, once dad was installed in the pub 

he was there for the night. Except that – 

uniquely – when ‘Upstairs’ was on, he and I 

would finish our pints, hurry home, watch that 

week’s episode and hurry back to where we’d 

left mum and my brother (and the dogs). 

I rate Upstairs Downstairs, but what this 

genuinely special attraction for my father was I 

have no idea. But of one thing I am certain, it 

must have had ‘something to un–stick my dad 

from the public bar. 

On the subject of good television series, I 

wonder if someone can put my mind to rest 

over the apparently sudden demise of the 

long–running and, to me at least, fascinating, 

series, The Bill? 

I know that some people thought it was past 

its best, but a whole new plot line was just 

being developed when – hey presto! – the plug 

was pulled with seemingly indecent haste. It 

came as an unpleasant surprise to me – and, if I 

remember right, to members of the cast as well. 

Just quite suddenly, an announcement that 

there would be no more Bill, leaving me (and I 

suspect the actors involved) bereft. 

A SPECIAL operation designed to 

improve safety and lower crime 

along Sefton’s beaches has been 

hailed a success by the team 

overseeing the task. 

“Operation Beachsafe” which is 

an annual operation between a 

number of organisations, has 

been successful this year in 

helping to reduce crime and 

deliberate fires on Sefton’s 

coastline over the summer 

months. 

The campaign ran from March to 

September and although there 

was an increase this year in 

SF 

visitors to Sefton’s coast over the 

summer months, the number of 

incidents was down. 

Crime as a whole reduced by 

6.7% on Sefton’s coastline 

compared to last year, with 

violent crimedown by 21%, while 

criminal damage and arson were 

both down by 12%. 

There was a 3% increase in 

anti–social behaviour compared 

to last year, with 479 incidents 

reported, however this is still a 

marked reduction on the 528 

incidents in 2011. 

It follows the success of 

Operation Beachsafe last year 

which saw overall crime and 

anti–social behaviour cut by a 

third compared to the year 

before. Merseyside Fire & Rescue 

Service attended and recorded 41 

deliberate fires along the 

coastline during the campaign, 

which was nine fewer than last 

year. 

Throughout August there were 

no deliberate fires in the beach 

areas. 

Operation Beachsafe involves a 

number of partners who work 

together to tackle issues including 

crime, anti–social behaviour, 

lighting fires, lighting barbecues, 

underage drinking as well as 

camping along the beaches, 

National Trust areas and Sites of 

Special Scientific Interest. 

Partners included Merseyside 

Police, Merseyside Fire & Rescue 


Operation Beachsafe declared a success

Computers! We all love them, don’t 

we. And with them, our tablets, phones 

and general technology. But the moment 

they fail us, panick sets in. Very few of us 

understand the basic workings of any of the 

paraphernarlia we depend upon so utterly 

and this can make us feel very vulnerable 

indeed. Well, reputable help is now at hand, 

and locally too. 

With the opening of their new shop in 

Church Street, Ormskirk, HB Computers 

has now four shops in the region. Started in 

1995 with their first shop in Hesketh Bank, 

Tarleton, the company has steadily grown by 

opening “Formby Fones and Computing”, 

“Ainsdale Computers” and now “Ormskirk 

Fones and Computing”. At a time where 

a lot of technology based companies are 

folding, HB Computers are expanding. It 

is of no surprise to David Dickinson of HB 

who says, “Our success is down to how we 

run all our shops with the ethics of “Local, 

Reliable, Dependable” every 

time someone comes through 

“ 

our doors. 

And David is right. Because 

so many of us know so little 

about technology in general, 

we all fear being “taken in” 

by repair shops. Because of 

HB Computers established 

reputation, earned through 

living up to the company’s 

slogan, this is not a concern any of their 

customers has to have. 

The company sells and repairs desktop 

computers, laptops, tablets and mobile 

phones, and have now become fully fledged 

Apple Repair centres. “Our customers 

have been asking for us to repair Apple 

products, so we have invested heavily and 

can now undertake a repair on any Apple 

item including laptops, iPhones or ipads. 

All repairs are done locally in each of our 

shops, and most can be turned round fully 

guaranteed within 24 hours.” And with 

the recent update of the iPhone operating 

system, there has never been a better time to 

BNI has been a 

major factor in 

the growth of 

our business 

expand for HB Computers into the illustrious 

Apple brand repair market. 

HB Computers believe in providing good 

honest advice, allied to very competitive 

pricing. David says, “When a customer wants 

a new computer, laptop or tablet, or needs a 

repair be it a hardware or software fault, we 

explain exactly what we will do, and what 

the cost will be. “ This is a straight forward, 

transparent way of dealing with clients. David 

agrees: “Yes, you can send the item away 

to an internet company but you don’t know 

who you are dealing with, how long the 

job will take, or what sort of comeback you 

have if something goes wrong. Using a local 

supplier and repairer means that you have a 

point of contact for advice and you know if 

something goes wrong, we are just around 

the corner to help you. And we are FAST!”. 

By using someone near you that you can trust 

wholeheartedly has to be the best option. 

David goes on to praise Breakfast Network 

International (BNI). “BNI has 

certainly been a major factor in 

the growth of our business. “ 

The company actually will 

not set up a new shop unless 

there is a BNI locally that they 

can join. This is how much 

HB believes in the power of 

BNI. “Without the amount of 

referral work we gain from 

BNI we would not have been 

able to expand the business as we have. BNI 

is a great source of income and allows you to 

target specific areas to allow your business 

to grow.” David is adamant. For him, BNI is 

an intrinsical part of his business life.“I would 

recommend BNI to any local business if 

you wish to increase work load and profits. 

My BNI group has already passed over 

£1,000,000 of business to each other since 

the start of the 2013, and HB have seen quite 

a bit of that!”

Sefton 4 Good launches 

to help businesses in 

borough build up links 

A LAUNCH event held by a Sefton charity to 

help businesses build better links in the 

local community has been hailed as a 

success. 

Sefton 4 Good invited over 40 companies to 

attend Formby Hall Golf Resort and Spa on 

Monday September 16 to learn from guest 

speakers. 

It was opened by the Mayor of Sefton, Cllr 

Maureen Fearn JP, and included talks from 

Procter and Gamble, Smiths TV and 

Seaforth Community Shop. 

The Project Manager of the charity, 

Samantha Smith, said: “We are thrilled with 

the amount of businesses who attended our 

event to find out more about how to support 

their local community. 

“Through Sefton 4 Good we will build 

better relationships between businesses, 

local residents and community, voluntary 

and faith organisations. 

“Whether it’s through donating time, 

skills, money or useful items to the 

initiative, everyone can get involved and 

support the ongoing delivery of vital 

services to our diverse local communities.” 

There was also a raffle and prizes included 

‘A Lexus for the weekend’ donated by 

Lexus Liverpool, which was later 

re–donated to The Mayor of Sefton Fund.

WHEN Southport couple John and Carol Allan 

needed a replacement Special Needs Tricycle 

for their 10–year–old daughter, Caitlin, the 

first place they looked was eBay. 

In the past they had been very lucky in finding 

a suitable tricycle for £50, which delivered 

incredibly substantial benefits to Caitlin, who 

suffers from cerebral palsy and is designated as 

a spastic quadriplegic. 

However she soon found herself outgrowing 

the trike, leaving John and Carol with the task 

of finding a more comfortable and suitable 

piece of equipment. Unfortunately, despite 

extensive searching, no suitable second–hand 

ones were available, as Caitlin needed foot 

straps as well as pelvic/trunk support and the 

cost of a new one was simply too much. 

Their next thought was to approach David 

and Victoria Beckham’s charity to ask for a 

donation towards the cost of a new Tricycle. 

Unfortunately, they had no response. 

Despite being stonewalled at every turn, a 

glimmer of hope was handed to the Allans, 

when Carol’s mum was discussing the 

problem to someone who advised her to 

contact Southport Lions Club to see if they 

could help. 

Sure enough, following a number of 

discussions, the Lions decided to completely 

fund a new tricycle at a cost of over £1,550. 

John Husdell, from the Lions, said: “The main 

benefit for Caitlin is the physical exercise. 

“When she got her current tricycle she was 

unable to power it herself and had to be 

pushed, using the attached carer’s handle. 

“However, as the mechanism is fixed wheel 

her legs get exercise, even if she is not 

pedalling herself. 

“This enabled her, in time, to be able to get 

from one end of the Rose Garden in Hesketh 

Park to the other under her own steam. 

“The addition of gauntlet style handlebar 

grips will also help her to keep her left hand on 

the handlebars when she gets tired. 

“The carer’s handle provides assistance as she

is unable to brake for herself and for assistance 

with steering. 

“Another benefit is to be able to go into the 

park with the family, being able to socialise 

with her siblings and peers. 

“Southport Lions Club was pleased to help in 

this case as they are dedicated to providing 

assistance to local people.” 

Caitlin and her family are said to be 

thoroughly delighted with her new tricycle. 

All of the profits from the Lions shop are used 

to support the club’s charitable projects, and 

90% of all the funds raised by Southport Lions 

are spent helping organisations, groups and 

individuals in and around Southport.

Cricket fan Allan 

12 years not out! 


SOUTHPORT resident, Allan Ashworth retired 

almost 20 years ago but has since taken on a 

new full time job – following his cricket team 

around the world. 

Allan has now travelled down under 11 times 

in the past 12 years to support his love of 

cricket. 

This is not the only impact he has had on the 

country. Allan has also appeared in a local 

newspaper, Waikato Times, whilst he was at 

the opening match of the Twenty20 cricket 

series between New Zealand and England at 

Eden Park. 

Originally supporting his home country of 

England he now says he is unsure who he is 

cheering for these days, since he has spent 22 

Cricket fanatic, Allan Ashworth. 

consecutive summers in Australia! 

Allan said: “I’m a bit divided but I can’t lose, 

can I? 

“Plus another advantage is its always good to 

avoid those harsh English winters, but I always 

will be English born and bred.”

Kittens 

need 

new 

home 

TWO kittens are 

looking for a new 

home – after they 

were found 

abandoned and 

dangerously ill by 

the side of the road. 

A member of the 

public found the two 

female kittens on 

Wednesday 

September 18. 

The black kittens, 

believed to be three 

months old, had 

been left on a piece 

of wet cardboard 

and they were 

covered in their own 

excrement, 

shivering and 

starving. 

Care 

They have been 

diagnosed by a vet as 

having the flu and 

they are now in the 

intensive care unit at 

the Woodlands 

Animal Sanctuary.

Bennett’s humour 

shines through in play 

Review by 

• The Lady In The Van by Alan 

Bennett 

• Southport Dramatic Club 

• Southport Little Theatre 

THIS was the true story of the 

fractious relationship between Alan 

Bennett, the celebrated playwright of 

Beyond the Fringe, and an eccentric 

old lady who decamped in his 

Camden Town garden for 15 years 

living in a succession of dilapidated 

vans with no toilet facilities (she used 

plastic bags). 

No expense was spared in this 

production. A dilapidated yellow van 

was driven onto the stage to great 

applause, soon to be followed by a red 

three wheeler car. 

Kathy Felton–Aksoy was majestic as 

the eccentric and unwashed Miss 

Shepherd, covered with years of 

grime, but the smell, luckily, didn’t

reach the front stalls. 

Margaret Hodge gave a convincing 

performance, shuffling round the 

stage as Bennett’s demented mother, 

but then ruined everything by 

reappearing without the grey wig, 

giving the impression she’d made a 

miraculous recovery and had reverted 

to her younger self. But, no, she was 

now Miss Shepherd’s doctor. Surely 

there was a spare actress in the 

company who could have been 

persuaded to take on the second role. 

Nick Lloyd and Ceri Watkins kept 

popping out from next door in a 

variety of costumes to utter a few 

pleasantries like guests on a chat show 

and Simon Hawkins, as the sinister 

Underwood, wandered on and off 

stage like The Midnight Prowler, 

making veiled accusations about Miss 

Shepherd’s background. 

Suzanne Gray made a likeable 

reporter and Nikki Ritchie was 

epitome of an interfering bureaucratic 

social worker. Eddie Webster and 

SINGER Claire Martin is to perform 

something a little bit different this Saturday 

(September 28) at The Atkinson at 7.30pm. 

Jazz vocalist Claire Martin OBE has joined 

forces with the Brighton based Montpellier 

Cello Quartet. 

This new venture combines Claire’s love of 

the Great American Songbook and popular 

classics with brand new arrangements 

especially commissioned for this project by 

internationally renowned composers 

including Sir Richard Rodney Bennet, Mark 

Anthony Turnage and Django Bates. 

Unlike anything Claire has ever done 

before, this chamber – jazz adventure aims 

to be a fusion that brings a new sonic 

perspective to songs such as Kurt Weills’ My 

Ship, Tom Waits’ Old and Lennon and 

McCartneys’ She’s Leaving Home. 

The Mikado to be 

presented by society 

MEMBERS of the Hoghton Players Gilbert & 

Sullivan Society are busy rehearsing for 

their October concerts, to be performed at 

various venues around the north west. 

This year, they will be performing a concert 

version of one of the most popular of all the 

G & S operettas, The Mikado. 

John Hilton will narrate the story, which 

featured in the popular Mike Leigh film, 

Topsy Turvy a few years ago. 

Some of Sullivan’s most beautiful songs, 

such as Tit Willow, A Wand’ring Minstrel 

and The Sun, Whose Rays are sure to delight 

audiences during the course of the evening. 

As well as acting as narrator, John also sings 

the role of Pish–Tush. He’s joined by fellow 

cast members Andrew Lamb, Keith 

Cawdron, Phil Clieve and Anthony Seaman. 

Musical director Ian Dunning has been 

putting the cast through their musical paces 

and audiences are sure to go out humming 

many of the lovely chorus numbers. 

The concerts begin on Friday, October 4 at 

Formby URC, followed by Holy Trinity 

Church, Tarleton on Saturday, October 5. 

Concerts continue on Saturday, October 12 

at Holy Trinity Church Hall, Southport, with 

a final performance on Sunday, October 13 

at Aughton Village Hall. All the 

performances will start at 7.30pm, apart 

from the Aughton one, which starts at 7pm. 

Peter Slater managed six roles 

between them, all very plausible. 

I saw the much–lauded original 

production of The Lady in the Van in 

London, with Maggie Smith as Miss 

Shepherd, and I also heard it 

dramatised on the radio, with Alan 

Bennett playing himself, and radio is 

really the medium that suits it best. 

The flaw in the play is the time 

element. Brendan Gillow played the 

young Alan Bennett with Ted Bullen 

as his older self, together discussing 

Miss Shepherd’s plight. Both were 

excellent in their portrayals but it was 

confusing to some in the audience 

seeing them chatting side by side 

onstage but as the same person. 

Nevertheless, Alan Bennett’s 

sardonic observations, his witty 

dialogue and the comically manic 

utterings of Miss Shepherd made for a 

stimulating evening and a successful 

start to the society’s season. 

Star Rating: 7 out of 10. Bennett’s 

humour shines through.

Dream homes up for grabs 

House hunters searching for their dream 

home in Bootle need look no further. 

At Keepmoat’s Regency Park development 

off Balliol Road there are homes perfect 

for both families looking for room to grow 

and couples taking their first steps on the 

housing ladder. 

What’s even better, one lucky house hunter 

has the chance to snap up plot 158, a four 

bedroom Star Buy property, for just £103,995 

with Help to Buy (£129,995 normal price). 

This stylish Countess-style home would be 

ideal both for young couples looking to start 

a family and those looking for extra space 

for their budding families to grow. 

As a Star Buy property, the ready-made 

home comes with carpets, light fittings and 

blinds included as well as turf laid to the 

rear, meaning your children can run round 

to their hearts’ content. 

Help to Buy, the latest Government finance 

scheme, means that this one of a kind property 

can be yours with just a five per cent deposit. 

The scheme means buyers need only save a 

5% deposit and find a mortgage for 75% of 

the property price. The remaining 20% of 

the property price is covered by an equity 

loan, which can be paid back at any time, 

or on the sale of the home. 

On top of all this, Keepmoat is offering 

integrated appliances to anyone who 

reserves this property before the end 

of September. 

Boasting four bedrooms, a stylish kitchen 

diner, spacious living room, family bathroom 

and convenient downstairs cloakroom, 

Keepmoat expects this property to sell 

quickly so buyers will need to act fast. 

With two developments in the town, 

Keepmoat has much to offer house hunters 

in the area. 

Keepmoat’s latest development of 26 two 

and three bedroom homes off Merton Road, 

Coffee House Bridge offers canal-side living 

from just £81,595 with Help to Buy (£101,995 

normal price). 

Those looking for a three bedroom home 

will be pleased to hear that plots seven 

and eight are Star Buy properties. This 

means that anyone reserving the property 

by the end of September need only bring 

a toothbrush when they move in, as it 

comes with carpets, blinds and light fittings 

included. This Clarendon-style property is on 

the market for just £94,395 with Help to Buy 

(£117,995 normal price). 

The plans for homes at Coffee House Bridge 

are now available to view at Keepmoat’s 

Regency Park development, half a mile 

away off. 

Jen Brown, Regional Sales Manager at 

Keepmoat, said: “There is so much choice for 

house hunters here in Bootle. Keepmoat has 

a selection of stunning homes available at 

both Regency Park and Coffee House Bridge.” 

Why not pay a visit to find out more?

Rolling hills gave 

me an epiphany 

No right hand drive hampered the success of the Fiat Barchetta over here 

IT was on the rain–lashed lanes of the Ribble 

Valley that I had a bit of a motoring epiphany 

the other day. 

Normally, the schlep along the A59 from 

Harrogate, through the Pennines and over the 

border into the Red Rose County isn’t exactly 

the most insurmountable of motoring 

challenges, even on a drizzly Tuesday 

afternoon when the grey skies make you feel 

like you’re driving through an old Joy Division 

record. 

This particular trip, however, was different. 

For the first time ever I’ve been out on British 

roads in a left–hand–drive car. Not only have 

the good people of Clitheroe and Skipton 

survived, but it’s opened me up to a whole new 

world of automotive opportunity! 

Up until now, I’ve always been just a little bit 

apprehensive about left–hookers. For starters, 

if a car company simply can’t be bothered to 

move the steering wheel to the right hand side, 

it indicates they’re not all that confident we 

Brits would have wanted it anyway. 

Take, for instance, all those Cadillacs and 

Corvettes which are relaunched here every 

couple of years, and always rack up sales 

figures you can count using your fingers. 

Surely, if the Americans were that confident in 

the cars, they’d offer it to us with right hand 

drive? 

The other thing is that while I’m happy at the 

wheel of everything from a Smart ForTwo to a 

Jeep Grand Cherokee, the idea of being sat on 

We have thousands 

of pictures 

available online....

the wrong side of the road, in real world 

conditions, scared me a bit. 

After trying out a left–hand–drive Suzuki on 

a test track a couple of years back and finding 

the experience strangely alienating, I really 

wasn’t sure I’d want to try it out on real British 

roads. 

It turns out, however, that the perfect 

treatment for my mild phobia of 

left–hand–drive proved to be a dash across the 

Pennines in a Chevrolet Corvette. 

Not only is it more of a four–wheeled–event 

than a car, thanks largely to its easygoing V8 

and cartoonish styling, but being on the wrong 

side of the cockpit wasn’t as nerve–racking as 

some armchair critics might have you suggest. 

Embracing cars with left–hand–drive opens 

you up to potential ownership of everything 

from the original Renault Twingo to the Ferrari 

F40. It means the BMW E30 M3 and the Lancia 

Delta Integrale are not fiendishly inaccessible. 

Perhaps, most pertinently, it means the car the 

Mazda MX–5 should have been – the beautiful 

Fiat Barchetta – could be on your driveway for 

less than two grand. 

If you can drive a car, you can definitely drive 

a leftie. It really isn’t as hard as it might look.

Rimmer the 

top run scorer 

for local teams 

Away misery 

goes on for Port 

Report by Ron Ellis 

THE conclusion of the 2013 

Liverpool & District Cricket 

Competition means it’s time to 

take a look back at our local 

clubs’ leading performers with 

both bat and ball in the Premier 

Division. 

Batting: 

Neil Rimmer (FHCC) was the 

division’s second highest run 

scorer with 781 @ 37.19 and a HS 

of 112, D’Arcy Short (HCC) hit 

726 @36.30 with a HS 112, Gary 

Knight (OCC) hit 675 @ 56.25 

with a HS 103*, James Cole 

(NCC) 662 @ 50.92 a HS 115*, 

Donavon Pell (MCC) 635 @ 

33.42 a HS 148, John Armstrong 

(OCC) 606 @ 46.62 a HS 133, 

Chris Tonge (MCC) 542 @ 33.88 

a HS 132, Stephen Lucas (NCC) 

542 @ 28.53 a HS 101, Sairaj 

Patel (MCC) 535 @ 29.72 a HS 

106 and Logan Weston (SBCC) 

516 @ 30.35 a HS 98. 

Josh Hine (SBCC) hit the second 

highest score in the division with 

164 against Leigh, whilst Adam 

Phillips was third with his 151* 

against Firwood Bootle and 

Donovan Pell was fourth with 148 

against Ormskirk. 

D’Arcy Short (HCC), Neil 

Rimmer (FHCC) and Adam 

Phillips all scored two centuries 

each. 

James Cole (NCC) and Gary 

Knight (OCC) both scored six half 

centuries, whilst John Armstrong 

(OCC) and Neil Rimmer (FHCC) 

scored five apiece. 

D’Arcy Short (HCC) and 

Andrew Watts (FHCC) both hit 

the most 6’s sixes in the top flight 

with 18 apiece, whilst Short also 

hit the most 4s with 114 in total 

with Neil Rimmer the only other 

player to hit over 100 with 101 in 

total. 

The batsmen with the most 

ducks fell to Hightown pair Ian 

Sutcliffe and Rob Gamble with six 

Report by Glenn Wallworth 

Braintree Town 1 

each, whilst Davy Smith (NCC) 

and another Hightown pair Andy 

Warhurst and Andrew Glennon 

suffered five each. 

Bowling: 

Northern’s Tom Sephton and 

Stephen Cole ran away with the 

bowling honours, with Sephton 

taking 67 wickets @ 11.51 and 

Cole 62 @ 11.34, Cole also 

bowled the most maidens (68) 

and was the most economical 

going at a miserly 2.88 runs per 

over, whilst Sephton took six five 

wicket hauls. 

Elsewhere Adnan Malik (FHCC) 

took 51 @ 19.39, Ryan Swiers 

(MCC) 46 @ 21.85, Martyn 

Farrell (OCC) 43 @ 16.30, Scott 

Lees (SBCC) 41 @ 20.49 and 

Sabah Ghaus (MCC) 40 @ 20.38, 

Andy Warhurst (HCC) 39 @ 

21.69, Ian Sutcliffe (HCC) 38 @ 

21.26, Chris Firth (SBCC) 36 @ 

20.94, Jack Snowdon (MCC) 31 

@ 26.42, Nick Caunce (OCC) 31 

@ 22.13, D’Arcy Short (HCC) 31 

@ 29.29), Liam Hurt (OCC) 30 @ 

21.83 and Matt Collins (FHCC) 

30 @ 22.80. 

Adnan Malik (FHCC) produced 

the best bowling figures with 

8–30 against Hightown, with 

Andy Warhurst (HCC) taking 

8–63 against New Brighton, with 

Scott Lees taking 7–47 against 

Leigh and 7–60 against New 

Brighton. 

In the wicketkeeping table Gary 

Knight (OCC) took the most 

catches (28) and James Cole 

(NCC) the most stumpings (11), 

whilst out in the field Greg 

Gillespie (MCC) took 16 catches.

Southport 0 

SOUTHPORT’S dismal away form 

continued on Saturday when they 

were beaten at Braintree Town, a 

result that sent them further down the 

table to 14th position in the Skrill 

Conference Premier. 

There were two efforts on goal 

during the 90 minutes, the first a Scott 

Brown shot which crashed against the 

bar. 

“It would have been a different game 

if that had gone in”, declared Alan 

Wright after the game. 

Unfortunately, Braintree went ahead 

shortly afterwards when Sean Marks 

converted Kenny Davis’s pass and 

Davis almost doubled the score after 

the interval only to be denied by 

Danny Hurst. 

Karl Ledsham finally managed to get 

on the pitch on the hour and 

immediately made a difference. 

His was the second effort on goal, a 

determined header from a Matty 

Challoner cross which went just wide. 

After last night’s match against high 

flying Alfreton Town at the Merseyrail 

Community Stadium, the Yellows 

have another long, 490 miles round 

trip, this coming Saturday against 

18th placed Dartmouth who beat 

Kiddermister Harriers 3–0 on 

Saturday, which suggests this, too, 

will not be an easy game. 

Lincoln City 1 

Southport 0 

ALAN Wright made 

several changes to his 

team at Lincoln last 

Tuesday, going with 

three centre halves in an 

effort to stem the run of 

away defeats. 

This meant bringing in 

last year’s Champion 

Player of the Year, James 

Karl Ledsham went close with a header after coming on as substitute. 

Wright wants more clinical finishing 

Smith, for his first game 

of the season after 

injury, recalling calling 

Karl Ledsham and Steve 

Ackrigg, and putting 

Brice Irie–Bi in the 

starting line–up for the 

first time. 

The changes did not 

prevent Port losing and 

the deficit was just the 

one goal when Tom 

Miller avoided defenders 

to seize on a deflected 

cross from Sean Newton 

and head his side into 

the lead. 

It might have been 

worse when Smith, 

suffering from cramp, 

made a late tackle on 

Nick Wright and a 

penalty was awarded 

but, once again, Danny 

Hurst rose to the 

occasion, saving 

Wright’s spot kick with 

his feet. 

“It was a deflected 

cross that caused the 

problem with the goal,” 

said Alan Wright after 

the game. 

“Apart from that they 

didn’t really hurt us. 

With a bit more clinical 

finishing then we could 

have got something out 

of the game.”

Glossop North End 1 

Formby 0 

FORMBY’S Wembley dream 

evaporated on Saturday when a last 

minute miss–kick from North West 

Counties Premier team Division 

Glossop North End delivered the only 

goal of the game. 

For the first hour the defences were 

on top. Squirrels’ midfield maestro 

Franny Smith came off injured and 

was replaced by Andy Olsen, back for 

his third spell with the club. 

Formby asserted themselves and 

ex–Glossop man Jamie Turner 

provided Mini Adegbenro with a clear 

chance but it only rippled the side 

netting from the outside. 

Nonetheless, Adegbenro was 

characteristically haring around the 

field leaving his opponents looking 

like they were wearing concrete 

boots. 

On 72 minutes he had the best 

chance of the game, intercepting a 

miss–hit clearance and sending a 

beautifully struck shot over keeper 

Ben Procter but it bounced off the 

underside of the bar, hit the line and 

came out into the visibly relieved 

goalie’s hands. 

The Squirrels pressed up the field but 

could not break the deadlock and 

extra time seemed inevitable, but in 

the final minute Glossop substitute 

Paul Cliff collected the ball on the left 

but a poor first touch sent him 

towards the by–line. 

He crossed the ball back towards 

Kyle Riley whose miscued effort 

turned the ball into the net. 

Formby visit Northwich Flixton Villa 

tonight before a trip to league 

newcomers 1874 Northwich on 

Saturday. Formed in the FC United 

mould by disgruntled Northwich 

Victoria spectators, the fan–owned 

club has been attracting gates of 400 

and are already clear contenders for 

the title.

HELD OVER 

GUN DELIVERY 

Chris from The Good Catch, Formby. Code 1062382. 

THE GOOD Catch fish and chip 

shop in Formby have been 

crowned best takeaway shop in 

Merseyside, Greater 

Manchester and Cheshire in the 

National Fish and Chip Awards. 

Located off Victoria Road in 

Formby the Good Catch Fish 

and Chip shop is one of three 

establishments ran by the 

Pittaras family, the four 

brothers and sisters, Robert, 

Chris, Alison and Michelle. 

Co–owner Chris Pittaras, said: 

“We are thrilled to reach this 

stage based on a visit from a 

secret shopper who rated us on 

the quality of our food and 

customer service. I can’t thank 

all our staff enough, we will 

continue to work hard and 

provide great customer service. 

“Customers know exactly 

what to expect from us – 

delicious, freshly prepared, top 

quality food; served by friendly 

people who aim to please every 

customer.” 


A SCHOOLBOY from Formby has 

been arrested after a handgun was 

intercepted en route from the USA to 

Merseyside. 

Matrix officers carried out a firearms 

warrant at an address in Formby and 

arrested a 15 year old on suspicion of 

importation of a firearm. 

The Champion understands as part 

of the investigation, Merseyside 

Police and UK Border Force recovered 

the handgun which had been ordered 

from the United States and was 

destined for a property in Formby. 

It is becoming increasingly easy to 

purchase and order handguns into the 

UK over the internet, with hundreds 

of websites offering cheap deals on 

firearms to be imported into the UK 

from the US. 

Detective Superintendent, Chris 

Green said: “As part of this 

investigation we have recovered a 

handgun which we believe was 

ordered from the United States. 

15 year old arrested on suspicion 

of importing firearm from USA 

“Working together with UK Border 

Force we were able to stop the 

weapon from reaching its final 

destination. 

“Our message to those involved in 

gun crime is clear, we are relentless in 

our pursuit of those who use firearms 

on our streets. 

“Preventing the distribution and 

supply of firearms is a priority for us 

and we will endeavour to do what we 

can with partners like the UK Border 

Force to stop guns from coming in to 

circulation on Merseyside.” 

Merseyside Police have revealed that 

a total of 55 firearms have been seized 

throughout this year. Including semi 

automatic pistols, sawn off shotguns, 

revolvers and rifles. 

However, police believe the haul 

represents only a fraction of guns that 

are circulating in the community. 

The chief constable of Merseyside 

Police, Jon Murphy, said more needed 

to be done to stop weapons entering 

the country. 

He said: “I think 55 in Merseyside 

alone is a worrying figure, and we 

need to do more to make the borders 

less porous. 

“It’s a huge challenge, but we do 

everything we can to develop 

intelligence on weapon–trafficking 

flows, we work with our hi–tech 

crime unit to try to identify 

transactions on the internet. 

“It’s a big job, but we have specialists 

who are looking at it and trying to do 

everything we can to stop it.” 

The boy was taken to a police station 

on Merseyside where he was 

questioned by detectives. He has been 

released on police bail pending 

further enquiries.
