The highs and lows of moving house

---------------------------After years of stagnation, the housing market at last appears to be starting to move again with average house prices also rising over the last twelve months.

The buoyancy of the rental market has also meant that some sellers decide to withdraw their properties and to rent them instead.

This accounts for roughly 25% of completion failures. The reason for this are not always clear, but there is still a slight nervousness in the housing market about the stability of house prices, which when combined with lingering economic uncertainty and concerns about job security mean that buyers sometimes get cold feet.

We thought it would be a The other major causes of buyers withdrawing from worthwhile exercise to look at the reasons why those the market are a failure to secure the mortgage they sales fell through. had hoped for from their bank and an unfavourable survey.

Blackpool News

Sea defences protected 600 from flooding A review into Blackpool’s new sea defences has found that it has significantly reduced the impact of flooding this winter.

The review found that the new sea wall successfully protected over 600 local properties from flooding during the extreme weather.

On top of reducing the flooding impact, the new sea wall has so far come through the storms unscathed and without any serious damage.

This is in contrast to the old sea defences at Anchorsholme which were damaged by the high tide and waves; these defences were already planned to be replaced by a new sea wall with work beginning imminently.

The new £100m sea defences, which run from Cocker Square down to the Pleasure Beach, were completed in 2011 and received the Brunel Medal for Civil Engineering Excellence. Despite numerous heavy storms over the last month, sea water only significantly over topped the defences on two occasions; on a few other instances the water overtopped the primary section of the sea wall, only to be stopped by the secondary dwarf wall which lies behind it as an extra layer of protection.

At around 70cm high, the concrete dwarf wall looks like a piece of street furniture, however is actually part of the sea defence design. Ahead of these two flooding incidents, surface drains were cleared in order for the water to flow away as quickly as possible.

Cllr Fred Jackson, Blackpool Council’s Cabinet Member for Urban Regeneration, said: ‘We were all shocked to see such extreme weather during last winter. Fortunately in Blackpool we escaped the worst of it – and when you looked at the horrendous flooding in the south west of the country, and even in some other parts of the North West, it really brings home just how much worse it could have been. Any element of flooding however can have a devastating impact on the people and businesses affected and the peak of the storm in December meant that some properties locally really felt the brunt of Mother Nature.

He continued ‘At that point, I felt that it was important to review how the defences were working and to check that they were doing their

26

job properly. What we’ve found is that while the defences have done exactly what is expected of them, this collection of storms had been too extreme for anyone to completely protect against. However had it not been for the new sea defences, the impact could have been much, much worse. The only way to completely prevent any possibility of flooding would have been to create a wall in excess of two metres higher than the new one between the Promenade and the sea. Not only would that have looked ugly, but it would also have affected Blackpool’s tourist offer as a seaside destination and killed off many businesses and livelihoods at the same time These defences were installed to withstand the erosion effect even of a one in two hundred year storm. Having analysed the data, we think that this storm was exactly that and I’m pleased that the new defences have come out of it damagefree.

He then added ‘In contrast, the sea wall at Anchorsholme took one hell of a beating from the sea and wasn’t strong enough to stand up to it. That’s why we have secured the money to rebuild the defences there and I’m eager for work to begin soon. As it stands, our award winning sea defences have done the best job that could be expected of them. Not only are they pleasing on the eye in a way that promotes the town to tourists, but they are also offering flooding protection to hundreds more local properties as well as protecting the sea front from eroding for the next 100 years.’

Looking ahead, civil engineers across all three authorities on the Fylde coast: Blackpool Council, Wyre Borough Council and Fylde Borough Council, as well as at the Environment Agency, are working together to protect the shoreline. As well as work beginning on new sea defences in Anchorsholme and Rossall, funding is also being sought for the sea walls at Fairhaven Lake and at Church Scar.

This is the perfect place for newcomers and GIRLS and BOYS who want to receive quality coaching prior to joining an age group squad. We also offer age group Squads, at each school year, and ideally with our current GIRLS numbers would be looking to encourage GIRLS in School Years 4–6 to join us so that an ALL GIRLS SQUADS can be formed.

If you are new to football, or you are currently looking for a Club, then please don’t hesitate to call our Chairman, Andy Griffiths on (07885) 206605 or e-mail andygriff71@ yahoo.co.uk , and Andy will field your enquire and put you in touch with the relevant Head Coach / Age Group Manager.

BJFF – Poulton & District Primary League Review Under 9’s – Good luck to our BJFF Blades u9’s squad, who look forward to a Coulton Cup Semi-Final away to Clifton Rangers, with the prize at stake an appearance at AFC Fylde in the Final on Saturday 17th May. Our u9’s Predators are already through to the Final of the P&DPL Plate competition, and we wish them well in the Final (date tbc).

Under 10’s – Our u10’s Blades have finished their season with a second successive Runners-Up position in the A Division, whilst our u10’s Predators have matched that position in the B Division, a fantastic achievement.

Under 11’s – Our u11’s Blades have won the A Division championship for the 3rd consecutive season – well done to all concerned. Our u11’s Vipers Whites have finished 3rd in the B Division and will face the challenge of A Division Runners-Up Poulton Youth in the Semi-Finals of the Coulton Cup. Good luck to Mark Frankel’s giantkillers.

Under 12’s – Our u12’s Blades look forward to their second successive appearance in the Coulton Cup Final, and will look to go one better than last year (Final will take place at AFC Fylde on Saturday 17th May). Our

30

u12’s Predators Whites will also look forward to their first ever Final appearance, participating in the Coulton Plate Final on Saturday 10th May. Good luck to the Blades and Predators squads.

BJFF – Blackpool & District Youth League Review Under 11’s – Our u11’s Predators are assured of a 6th place finish in their first season of 9-A-Side football, and lost out on the prize of a Hogan Cup Final appearance at Bloomfield Road when beaten at the Quarter Final stages.

Under 12’s – Our u12’s Blades have finished in 5th place in the Alpha Division this season, after a mixed campaign which has seen some positive performance and results, but also some inconsistent performances which has affected their final league position. Team of the season could well be our u12’s Predators Blues, who have taken the Beta Division by storm, winning an incredible 16 out of 17 games, and running A Division Poulton Youth close in the Hogan Plate (a 2-3 reverse). As things stand, a further 4 points from their remaining 4 games will see a first ever trophy for this fantastic group of players, coached superbly by Terry Jackson and Dave McFarlane. Also in the Beta Division, our Predators Whites will conclude their season in 7th position.

Under 13’s – Our u13’s Blades are still battling to climb the table, and will finish between 5th and 7th depending on the results of their final 3 matches. They look forward to an end of season squad trip to Spain, which the boys and parents are really looking forward to. Our u13’s Predators have won more points than last season, and have improved their position in the table to 8th this season.

Under 14’s – Still with 5 games remaining, our u14’s Vipers could come from the pack and by-pass a number of teams currently ahead of them in the table, and indeed with a maximum 15 point haul would take the Beta Division League title – a tough ask, but possible. Our u14’s Predators will finish in a creditable mid-table 6th position.

Under 15’s – Our u15’s have enjoyed their first season in the Alpha Division, and will finish 8th or 9th depending on results in the last couple of games.

Under 16’s – With 5 games remaining, it is looking like our u16’s will finish 6th, but the good news is that they will be continuing as a squad into the Youth League next season, great credit to Phil & Tracie Wing and the boys concerned.

Blackpool News Design of new play area at Stanley Park

Work begins on new play area for Stanley Park Work has begun on a brand new play area for Stanley Park, after funding was secured.

A total of £110,000 has been raised, £60,000 of which has been pledged by the SITA Trust to create an animal farm and safari themed play area for young children. The area being renovated currently occupies the space next to the timber adventure playground. Once completed, the playground will be the largest outdoor facility of its kind on a public park within the North West.

The site is now closed to the public, the new playground is expected to be open in May Funding for a bespoke slide shaped like a lion’s head, is still being sought.

The Friends of Stanley Park and Blackpool Council teamed up to create the colourful new designs and raise the funding which will revitalise the young children’s area, aimed at 2-8 year olds. Containing modern versions of playground classics such as rocking horses, see saws, slides, climbing frames, swings and roundabouts, the designs will also contain modern play features including activity panels, play cars and 3D spring ride-ons. The hugely popular 30 year old train climbing frame feature is to be renovated and will remain as part of the new scheme.

Multiple pieces of equipment will be grouped together so that children can play together, encouraging team work and sharing. Colourful graphics will also be incorporated into the surfacing to include snakes and ladders, hopscotch and caterpillar.

32

New picnic tables, seating and animal themed litter bins as well as bicycle stands will be installed to help families enjoy their visit a little longer. The design for the park followed consultations with local children and parents as to what they thought it should include.

Cllr Graham Cain, cabinet member for tourism and culture, said: ‘The designs for this new park look fantastic and I can’t wait for it to be completed. Once finished, the new section will add an extra dimension to what is already a fun area of the park for children to enjoy. Stanley Park’s offer for families is continuing to grow and will be a favourite green attraction in the centre of Blackpool. There is something for all the family to enjoy.’

Elaine Smith MBE, chairman of the Friends of Stanley Park, said: ‘The Friends have been involved in this project since the start. We got excellent feedback from the public consultation that we held for two weeks in the Visitor Centre and Lisa Foden, the Stanley Park & Parks Development Manager, did a great job ensuring the design scheme fit in as many of the ideas as possible. We are also grateful to SITA for their funding which is going to make a lot of difference for our younger park users.’

Listening approach sparks lower priced parking Lower priced fees now in place at the newly refurbished Talbot Road Car Park.

The new lower priced policy was pout in place on 1st April.

Cllr John Jones, Blackpool Council’s cabinet member for highways and transport, said: ‘It is no secret the new car park has not been as well used as we would like. That’s a great shame because it is an excellent facility that is in a good location. What we’ve tried to do is listen and understand people’s thoughts; what the barriers are to them using the car park and what we can do to make people understand that it is a quality facility – probably the best we have in the town.

I hope people will make use of it, support their local shops and let us know what they think of the car park’ Eileen Ormand Blackpool’s Town Centre and BID Manager said: ‘Talbot Road Car Park is an

excellent high quality asset to the town centre car parking offer. Blackpool town centre has such a diverse variety of businesses, which includes retail and leisure and so much more. Talbot Road car park is open from 7am until midnight and in addition to a daytime visit, is a perfect choice to leave your car whilst exploring the town in the evening. Take in a show in one of our fabulous theatres or try out one of the many restaurants in the town centre.’

As of April 1st charges will be in line with those at the popular West Street and East Topping Street car parks with two hours costing just £2.50, three costing £3.50, four costing £4.50, eight for £9, 12 hours for £12 and 24 hours for just £13.

BCH recognises its community champions Blackpool Coastal Housing (BCH) held its sixth Community Involvement Awards at the Winter Gardens.

This event allowed BCH to thank its customers, staff and contractors for their continued contribution to the company over the past 12 months. More than 80 community volunteers and invited guests attended the awards ceremony which included an afternoon tea, entertainment from singer Emma Adams and the presentation of numerous awards and certificates.

BCH was overwhelmed with the amount of nominations received for the seven different award categories and the judges had extremely difficult decisions to make when choosing the winners.

After much deliberation, the following winners were chosen: Janine Feeney won the Number One Neighbour Award for her dedication to her neighbours including providing support, shopping trips and maintaining the local community garden for the benefit of everyone within the Bostonway area. The judges also highly commended Lance Bonsor for his hard work within Lowmoor Community Garden and the assistance he provides to his neighbours.

Jean Thompson won the Community Spirit Award, highlighting her dedication and hard work within the community in the Kincraig area of Bispham. Jean runs arts, crafts and card making courses at the local community centre, making everyone welcome and subsidising the course to ensure anyone can attend. A ‘highly commended’ certificate was also awarded to The Well Breakfast Club for their long-standing community café where cheap, healthy meals are provided to residents.

Lowmoor Gardening Club won the Green Achiever Award for their hard work running and funding the community garden and greenhouse.

Vegetables that are grown in the garden are sold to residents with the money made put back into the garden for everyone to enjoy. Mike Clague was awarded a ‘highly commended’ certificate for his regular litter picks, area clean up days and providing free dog bags to dog owners.

The Tenants Choice Contractor Award was won by the BCH Repairs Team for their customer service. Customers who nominated said that team members are ‘always polite and respectful” and “nothing is too much trouble, regardless of whether the job is big or small.’

Anne, Peter & Afroza

St Marys Catholic College were the winners of the Agency/Partnership Award for providing personalised Christmas presents to needy families and children each year within the emergency housing units. Food hampers are also made by the students and donated to elderly residents within Blackpool. The judges awarded Dying to Keep Warm Charity with a ‘highly commended’ certificate for their work to protect vulnerable people in the community by providing emergency temporary heating, cooking facilities and practical safety items free of charge.

The BCH Staff Award was awarded to Peter Axon, Home Safety Inspector in Care and Repair, for working to achieve the best for customers, helping them to receive necessary aids and adaptations to ensure they have the opportunity to remain living safe, secure and independently.

Ron Anderson and Sandy O’Grady were also highly commended for their work within the Anti-Social Behaviour Team and Involvement and Communications Team respectively.

The final award of the afternoon gave recognition to a customer who has made an outstanding contribution to Blackpool Coastal Housing by helping to develop housing services. BCH renamed the award the Tony Fitzgerald Award in honour of a highly regarded retired colleague who passed away in 2011. Keith Edwards received this award for his commitment to improving and developing services through his involvement in various Service Improvement Panels, and as a Green Warden within his community.

Blackpool Coastal Housing’s Property Services Director, Cyril Holland, said: ‘On behalf of BCH I would like to thank all the winners, those that were highly commended and all of those who attended and helped to support the event. We look forward to working with them again over the next year to continue to improve our housing in Blackpool.’

DOES ANYONE REMEMBER NORCROSS PLAYERS OR THEATRE ONE? Following the recent death of my husband’s uncle, Richard Barlow and his wife Christine 3 years ago, we have discovered an album of memorabilia about the Norcross Players and Theatre One. Both Christine and Richard were key members of these theatre groups in the 1960’s and 1970’s, and I wondered if anyone from those days or maybe relatives of the group would be interested in this information. There are newspaper articles and theatre programmes, and also photographs. Christine was a key player in her time and won many awards. If anyone would like to see this memorabilia, please get in touch with me on 859663 and I would be pleased to show it to them.
