And thesingle market is actuallyshrinking while the rest of theworld is growing.As a result, we now export moreof our goods outside the EU,which is good for jobs as well asour balance sheet.And if it were not for the openborders policy we would have agreater number of employmentLETTERS to the EditorResidents are being misled overhow Local Plan will affect themWe have been fighting the Local Plan for over12 months and have highlighted all the flaws inthe plan and how the data they are using tojustify the numbers is out of date.We have been warning people for some timeabout them being misled by Sefton Council andindeed have emailed a great deal of ourevidence to all the councillors in Sefton, only tobe ignored by them.We have been accused of scaremongering,being NIMBYs and much more yet everythingwe highlighted back in August of last year is inthe preferred options report.Unfortunately, people can be very apathetic ifit is not on the doorstep and only when itaffects them will they do anything.We have highlighted how it will affecteveryone in Sefton and how Formby andMaghull/Lydiate were top of the list.We have been trying to pull Sefton residentsPICTURE of the weekfor our own nationals. Ourmembership costs the UKtaxpayer over £53million everyday, plus £billions more inregulations and tax costs, moneythat should be spent to the benefitof Britain and the British peopleand not squandered on an acorrupt and undemocraticinstitution (they have not hadtheir books signed off in 18years).There is a much bigger worldoutside the inward looking EUoffering greater opportunitiesand prosperity, which is whatBritain should be part of.Phillip Griffiths, UKIP North WestRecycle your trash for PDSAWhat’s that saying about oneperson’s trash being someoneelse’s treasure?Pet charity PDSA is appealing toyour animal–loving readers tolook again at old, half–forgottenitems and donate them to helpsick and injured pets duringRecycle Week.Used stamps, spent printercartridges, old mobile phones andforeign coins – currentlygathering dust in homes andoffices – can gain a new lease oflife with PDSA.Clothing and unwanted gifts arealso welcome donations to PDSAtogether as it is an issue that concerns all. Ourevidence mounts on a daily basis. It isdisgraceful how the residents are beingtreated.We are currently working with the residentsof Maghull and Lydiate and will be putting on apublic meeting to highlight to the exactly whatis going on, why and who benefits.Whilst our organization formed whendevelopers came out in Formby our main aim isto challenge the Local Plan and its mass releaseof green belt.If you would like to discuss anything with usthen please contact me.We intend to fully challenge the Local Plan ata public enquiry and are even consideringgoing down the road of a judicial review.Maria Bennett,www.fragoff.co.ukwww.champnews.com/pixonlinestores. By recycling all of theseitems, the charity’s friends andsupporters can help raise funds tohelp more pets in need of vets inyour community.Recycling everyday items, suchas mobile phones and inkcartridges, is a great way forcompanies, schools and offices toget involved.Holding a mobile phoneamnesty could be one way to getall those redundant mobiles outof those old dusty boxes!Sarah Johnson, PDSA EventsFundraiserFunds need tobe spent quicklyReading the minutes of the last Crosby AreaCommittee it would appear that thecommittee has just over £39,000 left in it’scoffers.I am sure there is many worthwhile localcommunity projects that this money couldbe spent on.More importantly I would get this fundingspent quickly.I believe the Crosby area and its needs willbe the sacrificed to preserve as manyservices as possible within Bootle.With the LibDems only concern beingSouthport, and the Labour party’s Bootle,Crosby will once again be the townsqueezed, despite contributing some of thehighest levels of council tax receipts in theborough.Martyn BarberManor CouncillorSainsbury’s areonly interestedin making profitsRe: Crosby Village.In my opinion Sainsbury’s are quite preparedto leave it as an eyesore whilst they are makingnice fat profits.They are not interested in the community ofCrosby, only the money we spend in their store.They spat the dummy out when refusedpermission to build a monster store and are notinterested in sorting out the mess they have leftthe village in.If the people of Crosby spent their moneyelsewhere maybe, Sainsbury’s would develop aconscience and do the decent thing. SurelySefton Council could do more to resolve thissituation!E Windsor,CrosbyFrustrated at theamount of junkmail I receiveI would like to express my concern about thehuge quantities of junk mail that I amreceiving at my home.I would like to see the reactions formothers regarding this situation.I am at the point now where I getnoticeably more junk mail than I do reallettersIt is a concern for the environment for meas well.I am literally fillling my recycling bag withthe letters each week, which are sometimesentirely from takeaway shopsCan it be stopped?Is anyone else feeling frustrated aboutthis?Mrs B Taylor,Seaforth.Write to the Editor atClare House, 166 Lord Street, Southport PR9 0QAEmaileditorial@champnews.comNewsdesk01704 392 400Websitewww.champnews.comGroup EditorMalcolm HindleAround 126,000† people will read thisThey could have been reading YOUR message† Publisher’s statement.
