Important changes to waste collections in Wyre Get out your calendars and circle 15th February 2010. That's the message being spread repeatedly throughout Wyre during the next few months. From this date simple, but important, changes will be made to the collection of recyclable waste from people's homes. Firstly, from 15 February 2010, cardboard will no longer be accepted in the green waste bin. This should instead be placed into the blue bin alongside paper. The second change will come from around August 2010 when food waste should be wrapped in paper and placed into the green waste bin for composting, thereby diverting up to one third of the grey bin (residual) waste from landfill. But don't put food into your green waste yet, we will let you know when this can start. Residents on black sack collections will be unaffected by the changes for the time being. Both of these measures are a result of the new waste treatment facility that opens in Thornton next year. All of Wyre's waste will be transferred to this exciting new facility, which will create further opportunities for recycling and reducing our reliance on landfill.
Mention LINK-Mag when contacting advertiser
Councillor Vivien Taylor, the council's Living Places Portfolio Holder, reiterated that disruption to residents usual routine would be kept to a minimum. She said: "By transferring cardboard from one bin to another we are making these changes as simple as possible. "People can expect to see reminders about them everywhere they look in their community and there will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions and raise concerns in the run-up to February 15." "Currently up to 33 per cent of rubbish that ends up here is kitchen waste that from August can be recycled. Left on landfill it releases gases such as methane and carbon dioxide as it breaks down, which is harmful to the environment. "This is unacceptable and goes against our pledge to combat climate change in Wyre. The new facility will go a long way to helping us achieve our targets." Councillor May Gandhi, Climate Change Champion for Wyre Borough Council, explained: "Like all districts in Lancashire, Wyre is committed to significantly reducing the amount of waste sent to landfill by 2020.

Blackpool to Fleetwood Tramway Upgrade It is proposed to invest over £100m on totally upgrading the tramway, bringing the service straight into the 21st Century. Key features will include : 16 new 32m Bombardier trams featuring low floors, accessible for all users including passengers with disabilities. New Tram stops featuring level access compliant with Disability Discrimination Act. Replacing 8km of track. Installing 14 priority signals at highway junctions to improve journey times. New Tram Depot at Starr Gate. Faster Journey Times. Trams have been operating in Blackpool since 1885 and through to Cleveleys and Fleetwood since 1898. The trams carry millions of passengers every year and form a key local tourist attraction. The Tramway, which is owned by Blackpool Council runs from the town along the Fylde Coast into Lancashire, serving Cleveleys and Fleetwood. The line is a key transport asset to Coast and it is essential that the tramway is upgraded to ensure the service continues to operate for future generations.
the Fylde
To maximise its potential it is proposed to provide the latest "State of the Art" trams and to dramatically accelerate the quality of service. This will include new easy access tram stops and to provide significantly quicker journey times making the service far more attractive for local travel along the Fylde Coast. Key objectives of the project are to provide a modern light rail tramway which is accessible to all. Passengers will no longer have to clamber aboard there will be level boarding at new tram stops along the full length of the tramway from Starr Gate to Fleetwood. This investment £68.3m from the Department for Transport; £17.7m from Blackpool Council; £15.2m from Lancashire County Council and £0.4m from INTERREG North West Europe Programme will build on the current regeneration of the town whilst improving access to the Fylde Coast. Key aims -To provide a high quality transport facility along the Fylde Coast fit for the 21st century. -To provide quicker journey times for passengers. -To provide level boarding for all passengers greatly assisting people travelling with pushchairs; heavy shopping as well as assisting the less mobile. -To encourage use of public transport. -To assist regeneration along the Fylde Coast.

The £100 million pound upgrade of the Blackpool to Fleetwood Tramway is a key economic regenerator for the whole of the Fylde Coast and will deliver significant benefits to both Cleveleys and Fleetwood. A brand new fleet of state of the art trams combined with a major track and infrastructure upgrade will transform the current tramway system into a modern, efficient and speedy Light Rapid Transport System fit for the 21st Century and beyond. Major construction works will begin in earnest in January 2010 centred on Lord Street, Fleetwood and while there will clearly be some disruption, Lord Street will still be very much 'open for business'. Acknowledging the rich history of the tramway and recognising its importance; a small fleet of heritage trams will be retained and used for special events and summer services to complement the new services which will commence in Easter 2012. Mike Sanderson Chairman of Fleetwood Chamber of Trade & Commerce FCTC said " I would like to thank Andy Whitlam of Lancashire CC for giving Fleetwood Chamber of Trade & Commerce the opportunity to be involved at an early stage of the project. We have been assured that all business's directly affected by the work will be visited by the contractors in order to ascertain their individual needs for deliveries etc during the road closures".

Round Up by Derick Thomas Pictures by Darren Clarke Jamie Blundell
FTFC UPDATES RED FALCON REMEMBERER Fleetwood Town wore black armbands at Northwich Victoria to mark the 50th anniversary of the loss of the trawler Red Falcon. All 19 hands lost when the Falcon went down off the Scottish coast on her homeward leg in midDecember, 1959. Amongst the 19 crew was George McLoughlin, 44, father of Town kit manager Barry (pic). Manager Micky Mellon said “It was the right a gesture from the team. We felt it was proper to mark the anniversary, particularly with Barry's personal loss as well. "The fishing industry was a job carried out by the toughest men and in the hardest possible conditions. It's those qualities that give the port its character today and the reason why we proudly carry the name 'Cod Army’.” An official enquiry believed it was difficult to ascertain the cause of the loss but the most probable cause was that the ship was “overwhelmed” in rough seas. The club also has a permanent tribute at Highbury Stadium. The Memorial Stand is so named to remember those trawlermen who were lost at sea and the fallen service personnel from the port whose names are carried on the nearby Cenotaph. WEMBLEY THE GOAL Fleetwood Town’s reward for overcoming Blue Square Premier Chester City in the FA Trophy on Friday is a home draw against Dover Athletic. Dover currently occupy second spot in the Blue Square South which is the Football Conference’s sister regional league to Town’s Blue Square North. Both leagues equally share promotion to,
and relegation from, the Blue Square Premier. Fleetwood centre half Steve McNulty inspired his team to trophy success at the Deva Stadium and is pleased with the home tie. Dover’s FA Carlsberg Trophy Second Round visit to Highbury is on Saturday 9th January. The league game away to Eastwood Town originally scheduled for that date has yet to be rearranged. The final will be staged at Wembley Stadium and is provisionally booked for Saturday 8th May. NEW YEARS’S EVE PARTY Come and welcome 2010 at Jim’s Sports Bar at Highbury Stadium Children welcome !

“Did You Know That You Don’t Have To Keep Making Debt Repayments If You Can No Longer Afford Them? Read This To Find Out about this Legal Loophole…..” Recently a friend said to me “If I’d have known that you could have reduced my debt repayments without another loan I would have called you immediately!” At Debt Lifeline, we’ve spent years releasing people from the debt that’s been destroying their lives. The problem is 99% of people are unaware of what can LEGALLY be done using the “secrets” of the “Debt Lifeline SystemTM”. If your circumstances qualify the Debt Lifeline SystemTM GUARANTEES….. All of your unsecured creditors will be legally obliged to write off a significant proportion of their debt No upfront fees and charges. You will pay one monthly amount to creditors, usually for 60 months as full and final settlement. You’re immediately protected from all your unsecured creditors (including credit cards, loans, overdrafts etc.)
4
None of your assets such as your house or the car you use for work can be taken from you. 5 All interest on your debts will be frozen (if 75% in value of your creditors agree) You won’t need another loan. All the creditors that don’t want to help will be forced to do so. We will deal with all letters and phone calls for you.. You’ll be able to get another mortgage if you need to move. You’ll still be able to use a (pre-paid) Visa or Mastercard no matter what your credit rating is like. You’ll avoid the stigma of bankruptcy by your situation not being made public in your local newspaper. The Debt Lifeline System is only implemented by professional, qualified and licensed representatives. If the Debt Lifeline System doesn’t deliver all of the above then we’ll give you £250, no questions asked.
Total debts of £43,404, of which £20,124 (46%) was written off by 60 affordable monthly payments of £388. “I am glad that I followed my instincts and went with Debt Lifeline, I am so pleased with the outcome”. Mrs W Total debts of £118,449 of which £83,209 (70%) written off by 60 affordable monthly payments. “A sincere thank you for all you have done, it is truly appreciated ... many thanks for putting my life back on track”. Mr E Loan repayments reduced from £500 to £100 per month. “Can I once again thank you for helping the both of us with this plan…….it has changed our lives”. Mr and Mrs P W.

Have your say on Rossall sea defences People throughout Wyre are being invited to give their views on the rebuilding of the sea defences between Rossall Hospital and Fleetwood golf course. The proposed scheme will see a comprehensive improvement to the seafront at Rossall planned to commence early in 2012. This will enhance existing facilities and create new attractions, building on the success of the ÂŁ26 million Cleveleys scheme which is now in the final phase of completion. Public consultation will commence with an exhibition giving residents and visitors the opportunity to have a say on how the promenade and lagoon should be developed. In particular the council is keen to get the public's view on the use of public open space, the importance of beach access, views on construction types and future involvement. The touring exhibition will visit several locations: - 5 to 17 January at Marine Hall, Fleetwood - 26 January to 7 February at Frank Townsend Centre, Beach Road, Cleveleys - 8 to 28 February at Civic Centre, Poulton More details are also available on the dedicated website at www.rossall-seawall.co.uk. An online questionnaire can be completed at http://consult.wyrebc.gov.uk/portal Councillor Vivien Taylor, Living Places Portfolio Holder for Wyre Borough Council, said: "This presents an exciting opportunity for people to influence a major regeneration project. "The public helped to shape the award-winning scheme at Cleveleys and we aim to use this to make Rossall just as successful."
