Alison Wilkinson new furniture business is the result of passion, mixed with talent and smoothed over with hard work. Two years ago, Alison was looking for furniture for her new home, but she found new furniture both too expensive and nowhere near as good quality as her old furniture. Like many people, Alison loves her old furniture, which has sentimental value nothing could ever replace. So she went about transforming it completely.
Tired of your old furniture?
Don’t throw it out!
I can transform it into the French Inspired Shabby Chic Style at a fraction of the cost of replacing!
The results were so spectacular she was soon renovating her friends’ furniture too, as well as supplying local shops with unique, one-of-a-kind pieces that were once run-down and neglected. Alison recently completed advanced courses with Annie Sloan, the world’s most respected expert in the field of decorative painting, and now works with the public and trade to renovate loved but aged pieces of furniture.
By utilising the fabulous Annie Sloan paints
She specialises in French shabby chic, but works with all styles, from traditional to contemporary.

Crime in Fylde reduced by 10 per cent between the start of the police year in April and the end of November. The decrease has prompted praise for police and partner organisations such as Fylde Council, the youth service and the Probation Service from the chairman of Fylde Community Safety Partnership (CSP). Latest statistics presented to the CSP show that Fylde’s reduction is the second strongest in Lancashire with the total number of crimes falling to 1,948 from 2,156 in the same period last year. Crimes so far this year include: - serious acquisitive crime, including vehicle crime, domestic burglary and robbery – a 14 per cent drop from 247 to 212; - all violent crime, including assaults, wounding, harassment and possession of weapons – an 8 per cent from 529 to 488;
-criminal damage and arson, including damage to buildings and damage to vehicles – a 20 per cent drop from 399 to 319; - theft and handling stolen goods, including theft from a dwelling, shoplifting, theft of a bike – down 8 per cent from 757 to 698; - a 7 per cent decrease in burglaries and; - a 21 per cent drop in drug offences, from 111 to 90. Bernard Whittle OBE, Fylde CSP chairman, said: “The fight against crime is never entirely won and the police are never complacent. “I have written to the police on behalf of the public to thank and congratulate them for such a strong performance. They have driven down crime from one year to the next, which is even more remarkable when you consider that last year’s figures had also dropped. “These results are only achieved with a strong sense of teamwork and with all the officers having an intimate knowledge of their patch, combined with strong leadership from senior officers.
Lytham St Annes News
Major crime fall in the Fylde
“The police have pulled together the work of partners such as the fire service, the youth service and even the NHS into tackling crime and tackling the roots of such crime.”

Councillor Sue Fazackerley, Fylde Council cabinet member for Leisure and Culture and one of the Downing Street guests, said: “He was very complimentary about the efforts of al the volunteers who make the FoodCo a success. “We have gardeners, allotment holders, church groups and even Kirkham Prison inmates who grow food and then give it to FoodCo. Other volunteers then distribute the food to people on low incomes. Not only is the fresh food very welcome it also provides an opportunity for social interaction for some of our residents who may find getting out and about difficult. It’s a good example of public spiritedness and the award is a credit to the volunteers.
Prime food impressed the Prime Minister when he heard of FoodCo, Fylde’s fresh food co-operative. Premier David Cameron asked people to submit nominations for the annual Big Society Awards. He received hundreds – but was especially impressed with FoodCo’s efforts to supply fresh fruit and vegetables across Fylde. Last week, the Conservative leader invited Foodco representatives into Downing Street to receive a Big Society Award.
“Foodco’s efforts are supplemented by the purchase of some fruit and vegetables at the wholesale market and then delivery around Fylde in a trailer unit. The profits from those sales are ploughed back into the provision of additional free food boxes. “Everyone who requests it receives fresh food and everyone who volunteers can be sure that they are doing something worthwhile.”
Lytham St Annes News
Food volunteers meet David Cameron
The co-operative was first backed by Fylde Local Strategic Partnership, the Ormerod Trust – and by all the volunteers and gardeners. Fylde Coast YMCA now provides co-ordinating support to the volunteers and nominated FoodCo for the award.

“It has been a number of years since it last had some investment. Nothing major is needed, but it does need some tender loving care.
A new look is on the cards for the heart of Ansdell.
“One thing that was identified was the need for better crossing points and also better management of parking to make it more pedestrian friendly.
Work has started on plans to improve Woodlands Road between Ansdell Institute and Commonside – with plans so far including new streetlights, new paving, new benches and reinstatement of some garden walls. The £250,000 scheme is largely funded by Fylde Council after a town centre survey highlighted the need for improvements.
“Woodlands Road contains the railway station, the Post Office, a supermarket and many shops. It is already a busy area that we want to improve for the future.” When the plans are completed it is intended to mount an exhibition in the area. Plans will also be discussed with local traders. When the improvements are finalised it is expected that work will start in early spring with an expected completion date of summer.
Councillor David Eaves, Fylde Council leader, said: “Lytham, St Annes and Kirkham have had a number of improvements over the years. The survey identified Ansdell as a main district centre that needed modernisation if it is to keep its appeal.

Lytham St Annes News
Major boost planned for St Annes pool
“The pool itself is in good condition, but the entrance is uninviting and the lack of a modern spectator area makes it difficult for parents to relax and watch their children.
A new look for St Annes Pool could be on the cards after Fylde Council backed a £500,000 bid “in principle” to Sport England to bring the pool into the 21st century.
“The existing changing facilities are not currently designed to accommodate different user groups such as schools, families, and disabled groups. The YMCA has already introduced a similar changing village at Fleetwood and it is a big success with a mix of cubicles for individuals and family changing.
A new “changing village” and remodelled entrance, reception and spectating areas will be built in late 2013 if the bid to Sport England is finally made and is ultimately successful. Fylde Coast YMCA, which operates the Fylde Council-owned pool, is backing the scheme. Members of Fylde Council last night (Monday) committed £12,000 for initial costs of planning and design. Councillors will commit a further £13,000 if the costs of temporarily closing the pool to allow improvement works to take place are deemed to be affordable. Councillor Sue Fazackerley, Fylde Council cabinet member for Leisure and Culture, said: “More than 300 bids were submitted to Sport England and the pool is one of the last 39 still in the running. We think the pool has a strong chance of getting the money.
John Cronin, YMCA executive director, added: “The team has worked very hard to ensure the centre has continued to grow from strength to strength as a flagship facility for the Fylde community and for visitors to the area. “We introduced the gym facility to increase the offering available at the centre. This additional investment would mean we could really begin to develop the fabric of the building to meet people’s needs and benefit people’s lives now and in the future.” Sport England are expected to make the final decision on the bid at the end of March and the work, if the bid is successful, is expected to start in late 2013. Once the scheme has been approved by Sport England more detailed plans will be produced and made available to view.

Owning his own Italian restaurant has always been Gennaro Calafiore’s dream. At just age 11 he worked hard in his family’s Naples restaurant before studying for a degree in catering as a young man. Quite simply, cooking is Gennaro’s passion and he knew he had the ability to create a unique experience for hungry customers. After moving to the UK and earning his stripes as a top restaurateur, he opened Gennars with his wife Estelle eight years ago – and the business, and Gennaro’s dream, has gone from strength to strength. Food is like fashion, and Gennars’ menu constantly evolves to keep up with people’s changing tastes. So, back by popular demand is the Tapas Corner, and the new menu contains divine new starters and main meals. Advertise Call 0800 970 7687
Open 5pm-10pm Closed Monday
Some things, however, have stayed the same as always: the personal, friendly service, the highquality, locally sourced produce that is always fresh and never frozen (except the chips!) and the clamour by Gennaro for a top class eating experience for every single customer. The restaurant seats up to 80 people and is perfect for family meals and large groups. Enjoy the jovial atmosphere while you’re being served beautiful food and a large selection of wine that Gennaro personally makes sure is the very best it came be. A three-course meal at Gennars costs just £16.95 and is available all week, and from Sunday Thursday any pizza or pasta is just £3.95. And you can enjoy a drink and tapas in the intimate, contemporary Giu Bar downstairs – before you eat or simply as part of your night out. 6-7pm on Sunday - Thursday and 10-11pm on Friday and Saturday is Happy Hour, when you can enjoy two cocktails for the price of one, free mixers with any large spirit and a bottle of house wine for the price of just two glasses. Both the bar and restaurant open from 5pm until late everyday except Monday.

Council’s online move to simplify services
do so. More than 100 services are now online and more are being added all the time.
Residents can now make their lives easier by requesting more than 100 Fylde Council services online.
“Private-sector firms are almost all accessible online. There is no reason why councils shouldn’t be. It suits people while keeping costs down for the Council Taxpayer.
The council introduced its revamped website in autumn. Since then, town hall staff have worked to introduce online “forms” that people use to access services including planning, benefits, environmental health and bin collections.
“We can’t expect residents in this day and age to wait days or weeks for relatively simple requests.”
Councillor David Eaves, Fylde Council leader, said: “People can still get personal service by visiting the town hall or telephoning us.
The website, now being used in nationwide local government circles, as an exemplar of good design can be visited at: www.fylde.gov.uk

Know 4 sure When it comes to cancer, there are 4 key signs to look out for:
1. Unexplained blood that doesn’t come from an obvious injury 2. An unexplained lump 3. Unexplained weight loss, which feels significant to you 4. Any type of unexplained pain that doesn’t go away Chances are it’s nothing serious, but finding it early makes it more treatable. So if you notice any of these signs, tell your doctor.

LYTHAM ST ANNES FOOTBALL CLUB With fixtures lists being badly affected by the weather every weekend during the last two months of 2012 it was nice change to have all scheduled fixtures going ahead after the Christmas break. The LSA YMCA Football Club had a mixed start to 2013 though. In the Boys’ Section the Under 13s’ great run in the County Cup came to an end on 6th January when they were pipped 1-0 in the quarter finals by Lammack JFC . In a very hard fought contest at Seafield Rd the Blackburn based outfit grabbed a winning goal 10 minutes from the end but it was a very gallant effort by YMCA’s boys. In the local league’s Hogan Cup 1st round played that day the Under 11s went through to the next round with a convincing win over neighbours Lytham Juniors with Denny Cain, Jake Oldendorp and Reece Gaffkin all claiming
hat tricks. The Under 12s though were beaten at AFC Blackpool. Also on that day both the Under 15s and 16s maintained their unbeaten records, the 15s with a 2-1 win at BJFF whilst the 16s were beating 2nd in the table Foxhall 6-0. In the Girls Section the Under 11s kicked off the New Year with an impressive 9-0 home win over Lostock Hall but the Under 12s suffered a 6-1 home defeat by Great Harwood after the two teams had been locked together at 1-1 at half time. The Under 15 Boys would be hoping to clinch a place in the County Cup final with a win in the semi final at Seafield Rd against East Lancs based Mill Hill on 13th January. ‘Lozz’ Rose Secretary
