SAVE MONEY ? HELP THE ENVIRONMENT ? RETURN SANITY TO YOUR HOME ? For too long we have been throwing out perfectly good electrical items such as televisions, sky boxes, hi-fi equipment, computers and laptops simply because they have developed faults. Not so long ago a television would last you 10-15years and probably require a service or repair every couple of years. Not so now with televisions lasting no more than 18months. So why not SAVE YOUR MONEY and have it repaired? One problem has been the demise of many local repair companies: many did not keep up with the emerging technologies and simply went out of business. The answer is simple, contact THE ELECTRONICS WORKSHOP LTD, a local company offering the very best service to local people. Can we repair your faulty items? You will be surprised at just what we can repair. We also supply new and reconditioned televisions.. For the price of a local call RING US ON 01253 857819 or after hours on 07973293761

If you come down to the beach – you’re sure of a surprise! The next phase of construction is starting on the beach at Cleveleys for the next phase of works to lay the cable for the Walney Offshore Windfarm. A steel pipe will be laid in a trench across North Promenade from Thornton Gate, across the promenade walkway and sea walls and down the beach, through which the plastic ducts will be pulled that will also extend to low water mark. This will complete the route for the submarine cable to be connected to shore, when it arrives in Cleveleys in mid May.
Rossall Promenade will be maintained. The barge will berth on the beach near Rossall Promenade for about a week when it arrives to deliver the cable to land. It will be pulled off the ship and back through the ducts where it is then joined to the land cable on Thornton Gate. It’s a once in a life time opportunity to see this kind of project happening, right on out very own beach, so get your cameras ready!
The works to cross the sea wall will require a cofferdam to be built, and so the footpath will be closed to pedestrians. Traffic management will be in place at key points of the project but vehicle access to
