Conservatives

Jeff Clarke with Heswall Councillor Les Rowlands visit

Heswall Hall

It`s a no asset transfer - transfer Jeff Clarke, Conservative Parliamentary Spokesman is concerned at the way the Wirral council is pursuing their policy of pushing important community facilities into community stewardship.

“I have now been to the public meetings in Heswall Hall and Victoria Hall in Higher Bebington. It is clear that whilst a long lease may be contemplated by Wirral Council, they are not intending to transfer the legal ownership to any community body. The only things that will be transferred will be all the risk and all the liabilities”.

The administration at the Town Hall is seeking to avoid as much expenditure as possible. The result is that they are denying the opportunity for any interested party to reach informed decisions by failing to provide full disclosure of important financial information up front. This approach could jeopardise the future of these facilities and ultimately lead to the permanent closure and disposal of these valuable community assets”

Jeff Clarke’s view is supported by Heswall Councillor Les Rowlands who is calling for full disclosure of all relevant financial and structural information as soon as possible. “In order that community groups can assess the viability of their local facility and draw up a business plan they need information now. If the Lib – Lab administration are serious about making this process a success, they would commission up to date structural surveys to be provided together with all relevant financial information to all community groups who express an interest in taking on the running of these facilities. It is still however our preference that this flawed project should be scrapped and we will continue to fight for this outcome”

It’s a fact: Hens lay an average of 280 eggs a year

LOLLIPOP lady Janet Dean is set to meet the Queen after being awarded an MBE.But the 70-year-old

reckons she also deserves some recognition from the sweet manufacturers.Because every child

who she safely escorts over Pensby Road gets a Chewitt sweet to send them on their way home.Said Janet: “I think I’ve

made a fortune for them over the years. I get through four packets of sweets every day!”Janet has been the

lollipop lady in the same spot at the junction with Whitfield Lane for the last 33 years.She began when her

children attended Heswall

Primary School when it opened in 1976. She has done the job for so long that she is now crossing her grandchildren at the same place.Despite reaching 70

Janet has no plans to stop, saying that she loves the job, meeting the children and parents and getting to know many of the motorists on the busy road.“I just hope to carry on for

as long as I can,” she said.“It’s a lovely school and

it’s a nice job to have, particularly when the weather is nice.”Janet says she can’t wait

to see the Queen to pick up her award and even joked that she might wear her luminous crossing

outfit at Buckingham Palace.Janet, who lives on Poll

Hill, has noticed a big increase in the volume of traffic over the years but proudly boasts that there have been no accidents on her ‘watch’.“It’s a lot busier than it

used to be and because it’s a busy junction they can’t put a pelican crossing in,” she added.“Most of the drivers are

really good and I’ve got to know many of them over the years.”Controversially, she

added: “But there are a few, usually women drivers and people using their mobile phones, who you have to be wary of.”

It’s a fact: The average lifespan of taste buds is about 10 days.

Oldest business breathesnew life into the high streetFRESH life has been injected into the high street with a familiar name taking over the old Woolworths store.Heswall’s longest established

business, Gould’s the Stationers, had been based at the Castle Buildings since 1937 but last month they took the plunge and moved out.Owner Anne Gould, who started

work at the shop as a Saturday girl at the age of 14, said they had outgrown their former premises.She explained that they had been looking to move since January but it had taken

nearly fi ve months to secure the lease.The new premises are twice as big, which means that they have been able to expand

their range to fi ll the void left by Woolies with sweets, toys and musical instruments - as well as stationery!The business was started by her great-grandparents in 1904, initially as a printers in

West Kirby, before moving to Heswall, and has passed through the generations.Anne said: ““If we hadn’t moved into this store it could have been a competitor.“When I heard it was becoming vacant, I really took to the idea, mainly because of the

level of goodwill left by the previous business. It was too good an opportunity to miss.”l Meanwhile, Corks Out opened a new store at 53 Telegraph Road.

It’s a fact: Slugs have four noses.

BICYCLE HELMETS: TO WEAR OR NOT TO WEAR:THAT IS THE QUESTION!A RECENTLY decided case in the High Court made important observations upon the merits or otherwise of the wearing of a cycle helmet.In that case, the bicycle rider sued (via his wife

since he sustained serious head injuries) the rider of a motorbike who he alleged drove at speed into collision with him whilst he was waiting to turn right off a major road, causing him very serious injuries, not least to his head. He suffered brain injuries. He had not been wearing a helmet at the time of the accident.There was an issue about who caused the

accident and confl icting accounts in this regard but the important issue was that, despite fi nding the motorcyclist 100% responsible for the accident, the Judge went on to say that, even though there is no legal requirement for the wearing of a cycle helmet nevertheless, if the guilty driver (or rider in this case) could prove that the cyclist’s injuries would have been less severe than they turned out to be had the he been wearing a helmet, then there may be a decision that he was partly responsible for his own accident. In other words, the cyclists’s compensation may be radically reduced by virtue of not having worn a helmet at the time of the accident.The principle is already applied in road traffi c accidents where the injured party had

not been wearing his seat belt at the time of the accident. Normally the deduction from compensation will be 25% although the percentage will vary dependant upon the circumstances. However, the difference here is that the wearing of seat belts is a legal requirement for the driver and, since September 2006, all passengers. The wearing of cycle helmets is entirely voluntary.As it happened, in the case mentioned above, the Judge decided that, as the impact

for the cyclist had been at greater than 12 miles per hour, in fact, whether or not the he had worn a helmet, it would have made no difference whatsoever to the injuries sustained. In other cases, on different facts, the position may be different.It must still be a matter for individuals as to whether or not they should wear a

helmet but the safe approach, one would have thought, is to do so since in anything other than a major crash the helmet will afford some, albeit limited, protection.

“Excellent service extremely pleased with the results. I came home expecting to clean up and it was cleaner than when I’d gone out!”

Mr M. Neston, Wirral

“Michael’s work was of good quality and was performed in a timely, efficient and courteous manner. He also cleaned up well after himself; a rare quality in plasterers.”

Mr P. Meols, Wirral

TIME served plasterer Mike Boyd has just started his new business.Mike does all aspects of plastering as well as rendering, pointing and artex removal.

His speciality that separates him from most of his plastering competitors is that he is also fully qualified in polished plaster and textured walls. Most companies

either offer just the standard plastering or just the polished plastering not many do both.

Mike and his wife Stephanie decided to set up MEB Plastering two months ago. With Mike’s plastering talents and Stephanie’s business experience

they hope to build a successful company over the coming years to cover the Wirral, Cheshire and Merseyside areas.

Said Mike: “We have done lots of research on our competitors pricing so therefore believe we can offer professional services at

affordable prices.“We will offer a 5% discount to customers who return to us for further work.”

The plaudits have already come in for Mike’s work with one Neston man saying: “Excellent service extremely

pleased with the results. I came home expecting to clean up and it was cleaner than when I’d gone out!”

HOLIDAY READING FOR THE SUMMERBY ELEANOR DAVIES, MANAGER OF LINGHAM’S BOOKSTORE, HESWALL

HOLIDAY READING FOR THE SUMMER

Paperback Fiction: The Northern Clemency by Philip Hensher

Shortlisted for the Booker Prize last year, this is the story of two families living opposite one another in Sheffi eld during the 1970s. The day the Sellers family arrive in the North there is a crisis in the Glover family across the road: Malcolm Glover has left home after becoming convinced that his wife is having an affair. The aftermath of this revelation has a profound effect on both couples and the repercussions for their children only come to a full climax twenty years later. There are also many other smaller interlinking plots, some sad, some funny. Don’t be put off by the size of the novel, it is extremely readable and

parts will make you laugh out loud. A great beach read.

Travel Biography: The Last Supper (A Summer in Italy) by Rachel Cusk

If you’re spending your summer holiday in Italy here is a book you might like to tuck in your luggage. Rachel Cusk is a stunning writer both of fi ction and non-fi ction, and her books about child rearing have been completely transformed by her unusual and imaginative writing style. In this book she describes her deep disillusionment with her home city of Bristol and her spontaneous decision to remove the children from school to spend three months wandering round Italy in search of art and its meanings, freedom from routine and a different path into the future. Her descriptions of art , beauty, and the desire to travel are balanced with a down-to-earth attitude to domestic life when away from home. Although only in hardback at the moment it is a delightfully neat little book with a lovely cover- worth every penny.

Leisure Interests: The Most Amazing Places to Walk in Britain- A Reader’s Digest Publication.

For those feeling the effects of the credit crunch and holidaying at home, here is a super book to inspire the whole family to discover new areas of the United Kingdom. Beautifully illustrated and clearly laid out with highly detailed maps, the book covers the whole of Great Britain with walks of differing lengths, diffi culty and landscapes. There is also information about parking facilities and where to get a meal and a well-earned pint after your exertions. The sort of book you will come back to time and time again, the lovely photography would also make it a great present for all kinds of walkers.

Born on 24th July 1969: Actress and singer Jennifer Lopez.
