Warings Solicitors becomes Fylde Law
As many of us at some point in our lifetime are likely to need the services and support of a helpful, reliable and competent lawyer, Fylde Law take pride in making things as stress-free and easy to understand as they can, ensuring that our clients know what is going on at every stage of the legal process.”
Fylde Law is the new name for the recently merged firms of Warings Solicitors, Atkinson Cave & Stuart, Blackledge & Co and Ashley Fisher & Co, who cumulatively have provided over 150 years of legal advice on the Fylde. It also incorporates the old Fylde solicitors firms of Cameron and Ball and Baker, Hoyle and Lees.
Mary Lowe, Family and Probate Solicitor says “as solicitors we understand that legal matters can be highly complex and worrying and that many clients have personal and delicate issues that need handling with the utmost sensitivity and diligence. This is why each client is appointed a named solicitor with the relevant experience to manage their case from start to finish and provide a level of support that client needs. We believe this is the type of law firm people want to use.”
----------------------------
Although a new name, the same traditional values on which all four firms were founded – those of honesty and integrity, professionalism and doing the best for each and every client, still remain at the heart of everything they do. Gary McAnulty, a Director and Criminal Solicitor with the firm comments “the recent mergers and the decision to launch and operate under a new name marks an exciting and important time for the firm. We are committed to our roots and the history of service we have provided to the people of the Fylde over the last century and a half and look forward to delivering the same quality of service and advice as we have always done.
With offices in Blackpool and Lytham St. Annes, Fylde Law is dedicated to providing local people and businesses with access to expert legal knowledge experience and advice without the exasperating legal jargon and formality that often goes with it.

Have You Thought About Being A Neighbourhood Watch Coordinator? Neighbourhood Watch, along with a host of other Watch Schemes that the Police has created, brings a community together with the same goal in mind – to help make a particular area a better place to live; people watch out for each other and tell the Police if they suspect a crime is taking place or there are circumstances that may lead to a crime – such as suspicious people or vehicles driving around the neighbourhood. A Watch scheme is a citizen-organised system of policing in a particular community or environment to prevent crime and disorder. Being a Neighbourhood Watch Coordinator is not a difficult or time-consuming task – in fact, you decide the number of homes you wish to include in your Watch scheme.
So, you may ask, how do I go about becoming a Neighbourhood Watch Coordinator? You either
Contact Sue Blackburn, Watch Liaison Officer, Lancashire Constabulary on 01253 604134 or email her susan.blackburn@lancashire. pnn.police.uk or talk to a member of your Neighbourhood Policing team. Information will be provided on the process, which is quick and easy. Interested? Please contact Sue Blackburn, above, or a member of your Neighbourhood Policing team.

Clifton Rangers Junior Football Club News Your Club, Our Community
We are an FA Charter Standard Development football club, founded in 1977. The club was awarded an FA Charter Development award in 2010, and working towards an FA Charter Community Award. Over the past few years the club has been developing a partnership in sports with St Marys Catholic College and St Georges Church of England College. Our plans continue through 2014 with ongoing development of sports facilities and plans to provide more sporting opportunities in our community. St Mary’s is nearing the final stages of developing 5 new full sized multi game football pitches and sports ground. We have been using the ground over the past four years, be it during the construction, so use has been limited. However it is clear to see the facility will be of a high standard as the investment continues. Funds are a huge factor in sustaining community sports clubs and without them we would struggle to provide teams with kit and equipment, or maintain community projects. We would like to thank our sponsors for 2013-2015: Royal Mail, Northerncare, Molloys, Arnold Clark Motors, Cost Cutters (Blackpool), Cambridge Weight Plan (Blackpool), Car

Cosmetics, CSE Flooring and Cleaning, Michael’s Indian Restaurant and South Shore Tennis Club – A huge thank you!!
During the next few years we are planning the growth of our football club and helping our educatio partners to provide more sports activities for 1000’s of children. Therefore use of funding will be for an even greater cause! In addition we want to continue with our proven coaching development programme and create more coaching, management and team development opportunities from 2014-2015.
This will require like minded people to support our workforce, to develop further partnerships with local sports organisations, businesses, schools, colleges and national funding bodies, plus increase the number of qualified development coaches to create great coaching environment and experience! If you are interested in a coaching career or a qualified coach, want to make good use of some spare time, donate or you have a good funding idea, then we want to hear from you!
