Blackpool News
Yeadon Way works update A project to preserve and repair Yeadon Way is now well underway and is progressing well
As these picture from the site shows, the road is barely recognisable from before works began with the surface and barriers having been removed and piling now taking place. A huge amount of work is being carried out by contractors Galliford Try to repair the structure of the road as part of a £3.6m scheme. There are three aspects of the work: Road stabilisation - At a number of weak points the existing road surface has been removed along with the barriers that line the road. Steel sheet piles will be installed up to 18 metres deep to improve the stability of the road. Securing the embankment – Down either side of Yeadon Way is an embankment that has become weaker over time. The sides are very steep and wouldn’t be built at that angle in modern day construction. These must be secured. Land drainage - Work to improve drainage in the area has already begun and is having a positive effect The work comes as a result of a gradual deterioration in the road over time. Many drivers will have noticed that, as you drive along Yeadon Way, there are a number of points where the road surface is bumpy. This is due to the structure underneath the road surface shifting considerably. The council successfully applied for funding from the Government to address those
problems which, if left to deteriorate further, would have led to the road being closed. The road, which connects the M55 with its town centre car and coach parks, carries huge volumes of local and tourism traffic, preventing congestion and is therefore vitally important. Cllr John Jones, Blackpool Council’s cabinet member for highways and transport said: ‘I visited the site along with our highways team and representatives from Galliford Try last week. Work is progressing well and I’m pleased Galliford Try and engaging with local residents, businesses and organisations to keep them informed. We stressed the importance of the work being completed in time for the Easter holidays because of the huge impact the start of the tourism season has on the local economy. We will keep residents informed of progress as the project continues.’ For more information please visit www.blackpool. gov.uk/yeadonway
Leisure centre expansions now open New gyms at Palatine and Moor Park leisure centres have now opened to the public. An extended 65 station gym at Moor Park Health & Leisure Centre was unveiled on Monday alongside the 45 station gym at Palatine Leisure Centre, which has been refurbished with windows and brand new state of the art fitness equipment being installed. Palatine Leisure Centre now includes state of the art Matrix gym equipment, one of the leading brands in cardio and resistance training machines, which also feature at Gateway Fitness in the Central Business District. The £414,000 expansion at Moor Park Leisure Centre also includes a large free weights area, a women’s only Feel Good Factory and dedicated exercise class and spinning studios. Meanwhile, the expansion at Palatine also has seen a refurbishment to the room to make it more appealing to gym-goers. Cllr Graham Cain, cabinet member for leisure and tourism, said: ‘Since the re-launch of Moor Park in 2011, it has proved exceptionally popular and we’re getting some really good feedback from people who visit it. But we’re not going to stand still. We’ve invested even more in to both centres to make them even better. People told us that they want more exercise machines and bigger studios so we’ve listened to their feedback and have done exactly that. Both new gyms are absolutely top quality and include some of the best fitness equipment around. Whether you want
16
a short jog on a treadmill or to pump some iron, there is something for everybody. The Feel Good Factory at Palatine has proved really popular as an alternative to the regular gym environment. The room is more relaxed and sociable and has been a hit with people who don’t want to join the more serious gym goers in the regular studio. Now we’ve brought it to Moor Park – I hope it will be just as successful. All four of our leisure centres provide excellent value for money and are a great way for people to get fit and healthy.’ If anyone wants to find out more about joining then they can go to any of the receptions or visit www. sportblackpool.co.uk for more information

Special appeals on animals at the moment are: Ghost, Russell and Giles (3 resident guinea pigs) who have been there since September 2014. They are desperate to find these gorgeous boys a new home. They do need to be rehomed separately and be kept indoors through the winter months. During summer they like to live in hutch and run (similar to that of which a rabbit would live in) They are all suitable to live with children and could be ok for first time owners. They are the RSPCA’s longest stay residents at the moment. Further info at www.rspcablackpool.org.uk. RSPCA Longview Animal Centre, Old Toms Lane, Stalmine, Poulton-Le-Fydle, FY6 0JR.

Blackpool News
The Fight Is On To Save Lives As Race For Life 2015 Launches In Blackpool Blackpool women are being urged to get the New Year off to a great start by signing up now to Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life 2015.
E
very hour, more than four people are diagnosed with cancer in the North West*. And that’s why Cancer Research UK is calling on women in Blackpool to fight back against this devastating disease by entering Race for Life 5k or 10k events at The Prom on Wednesday, July 01. As well as raising funds for life-saving research, taking part in Race for Life is an easy way to be more active – perfect for those setting themselves a fitness goal as their New Year’s resolution. Carrie Murphy, Cancer Research UK’s Blackpool Event Manager, said: ‘We’re urging women of all ages, shapes and sizes to take on Race for Life in their town and sign up now. Race for Life is non-competitive. It’s not about being fit or fast. Most women are able to walk 5k in an hour while chatting and having fun. Or they can choose to jog, run or even dance around the course if they prefer. If you’re looking for an opportunity to get active in 2015 and shake off those January blues, there’s no better time to take on Race for Life. With fire in their bellies and trainers at the ready, we know that Blackpool ladies are up for the challenge.’ Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life, in partnership with Tesco, is an inspiring womenonly series of 5k and 10k events which raise millions of pounds every year to help beat cancer sooner by funding life-saving research. Last year, 2,907 women took part in Race for Life in Blackpool and raised a fantastic £120,916. This year, organisers need 3,100 women and girls to stride out to help raise £147,844. Money raised through Race for Life allows Cancer Research UK’s doctors, nurses and scientists to advance research which is helping to save the lives of men, women and children across the North West. Cancer survival rates have doubled since the 1970s and Cancer Research UK’s work has been at the heart of that progress. But more funds and more supporters are needed to bring forward the day when all cancers are cured. 21 Carrie continued: ‘We’re calling on the brave ladies of Blackpool to show their fighting spirit once more and take on cancer at this year’s
event. Race for Life is to celebrate those who are with us, and also remember those who are not. The atmosphere is electric, our participants are so inspiring and we’re calling on the women of Blackpool to help make 2015 our best year yet.’ To enter Race for Life today go to www. raceforlife.org or call 0300 123 0770. *Approximation based on annual average figure of around 39,400 cases of all cancers (excluding nonmelanoma skin cancer) diagnosed between 2009-2011 in the North West Region. **All cancers (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer) annual average 2009-2011 in the North West Region. Source: HSCIC (2013). Incidence of all cancers: directly standardised rate, all ages, 3-year average, MFP. Accessed 21/07/2014. About Race for Life • Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life in partnership with Tesco is an inspiring women-only series of 5k, 10k and Pretty Muddy events which raise millions of pounds every year to help defeat cancer by funding life-saving research. • Race for Life is the UK’s largest women-only fundraising event series with over 300 events around the UK from May to the end of September. • Women and girls of all ages, abilities, shapes and sizes from all over the UK join together to walk, jog or run to raise money to help beat over 200 types of cancer affecting men, women and children. All women are welcome, regardless of whether they are taking part on their own or as part of a group. • It’s easy to take part and raise money as a group, with the introduction of a simple to use online group entry process. • In 2015, Cancer Research UK hopes to recruit 530,000 women and raise £50m to help fund life-saving work. • The entry fee is £14.99 for adults and £10 for girls under 16. This covers the costs of staging the event series and means that money raised in sponsorship can go to help beat cancer. • Race for Life started as one event in 1994 at Battersea Park with 680 participants. • Since Race for Life started, an incredible 7.7 million participants across the UK have raised over £691 million to fund Cancer Research UK’s vital work.

CINEMA 13th MARCh 2015
RUN ALL NIGht CAST: Liam Neeson, Joel Kinnamen, Ed Harris, Vincent D’Onofrio, Genesis Rodriguez
Brooklyn mobster and prolific hit man Jimmy Conlon (Neeson), once known as The Gravedigger, has seen better days. Longtime best friend of mob boss Shawn Maguire (Harris), Jimmy, now 55, is haunted by the sins of his past—as well as a dogged police detective who’s been one step behind Jimmy for 30 years. Lately, it seems Jimmy’s only solace can be found at the bottom of a whiskey glass. But when Jimmy’s estranged son, Mike (Kinnaman), becomes a target, Jimmy must make a choice between the crime family he chose and the real family he abandoned long ago. With Mike on the run, Jimmy’s only penance for his past mistakes may be to keep his son from the same fate Jimmy is certain he’ll face himself…at the wrong end of a gun. Now, with nowhere safe to turn, Jimmy just has one night to figure out exactly where his loyalties lie and to see if he can finally make things right.

GEt hARD CAST: Will Ferrell, Kevin Hart, Craig T. Nelson, Allison Brie, Tip “T.I.” Harris When millionaire hedge fund manager James King (Ferrell) is nailed for fraud and bound for a stretch Desperate, he turns to Darnell Lewis (Hart) to prep him for a life behind bars. But despite James’ one-percenter assumptions, Darnell is a hard-working small business owner who has never received a parking ticket, let alone been to prison. Together, the two men do whatever it takes for James to ‘get hard’ and, in the process, discover how wrong they were about a lot of things – including each other.
