There’s a nip in the air as the days draw in and the Starlings start to sing their autumn song.

Soon, the leaves on the trees of Lytham and St Annes shopping centres will change colour and once again leave the branches bare.

There are two websites for Fylde, www. visitStAnnes.info and www.visitLytham.info.

You can also subscribe for email updates to make sure that you don’t miss out!

If you’re involved with any autumnal events – like Bonfire parties and Halloween things – please let us know. You’d be amazed at how many people like to go to this kind of thing as a late treat before winter sets in, so we can help you to spread the news.

If you’ve got anything to tell us just email jane@theRabbitPatch.co.uk or ring 07932 143431.

By now you must have seen the new installation against Fairhaven Lake, as the replica spitfire is now proudly in place.

Surprisingly small when you stand next to it, it’s amazing to think of the dangers that pilots like the one sat in the cockpit bravely faced.

Lytham St Annes News

Final bin swap starts soon The new blue and brown recycling bins have been a big success so far with early research showing that recycling has increased by approximately one tonne per day.

The new blue bins replace the old green boxes for glass, tins and plastics while the new brown bins replace the old white/blue sacks for paper and cardboard.

Councillor Albert Pounder, Fylde Council cabinet member for Customer and Operational Services, said: “The more we recycle, the less that taxpayers have to pay to process nonrecyclable waste.

“It is a virtuous circle that saves everyone money and helps the environment. The new bins are a major help in that.

“Most households now have the new bins and the rest will have them by the end of September – although a small number of houses are entirely unsuitable and will continue with the existing system.

“Residents deserve public thanks for the enthusiastic way they have taken to using the new blue and brown bins so far. Staff have asked people to rate the recycling service and

the new bins and the results are overwhelmingly positive which suggest the bins are making their lives simpler.

“More recycling benefits us all as well as reducing the number of wagon movements to and from people’s homes.”

Some enthusiastic residents are putting bins out for collection when they contain only one or two items. That is appreciated but not necessary – waiting, if possible, until there is a fuller load will save crew time and keep vehicle running costs low.

YOUR BINS – WHAT GOES WHERE? For full details, see: www.fylde.gov.uk

New blue bins (formerly green boxes) Glass, drinks cans, food tins, aerosol cans, aluminium foil, plastic bottles.

New brown bins (formerly white/blue sacks) Cardboard, newpapers, magazines.

Green bin - Grass and garden cuttings, leaves, plants, flowers, wood shavings, meat, fish, fruit, vegetables, teabags, coffee grounds, rice, pasta, bread.

Grateful golf chiefs have written to Fylde Council to thank councillors, staff and residents for their support in this summer’s Open Golf.

Councillor David Eaves, Fylde Council leader, said: “Everyone deserves thanks, from the council staff who got the area ready, to the businesspeople who rolled out a warm welcome and the residents who helped with the festive atmosphere and were very understanding about occasional parking difficulties.

Peter Dawson, Royal and Ancient Chief Executive, wrote: “Thank-you for everything that Fylde Council did to make this year’s Open Championship such a great success.

“We’re particularly pleased that Mr Dawson has already said that he wants to bring the tournament back – it is worth a huge amount to the area in terms of income to local businesses and also raising the area’s tourism profile on a national and international stage.

“I can honestly say that we have never experienced such strong support from a local authority as we did this year. It was an absolute delight to work with you.

“The University of Sheffield is still working on official figures on how much the tournament was worth financially to Fylde. I am confident they will be good figures.

“I feel sure that we will be bringing the Championship back to Lytham just as soon as we can.”

“The golf is always good for employment but we wanted to ensure that this year’s event also included things for people who don’t like golf.

We had a very successful cultural festival for residents and other visitors – a modern approach to tourism that I am sure will keep visitor numbers high.”

The tournament attracted 183,000 visitors this year, compared to 180,000 when the R&A was last in town in 2001 – a great boost to the local economy.

Dealing with Fylde Council is getting easier and more cost-effective as more services become accessible through the council’s website.

People can book flights, holidays and even groceries within seconds in the modern economy – and council services should be no different.

So Fylde Council has redesigned its website and continues to make more services accessible through the click of a mouse.

Voter registration, Council Tax payments, even planning applications can now be done online – and more services are being added all the time. There are currently more than 100 services available, saving people time and money.

“Private-sector firms do it because it helps their customers and drives down costs. We’re doing the same”, said Councillor David Eaves, Fylde Council leader.

“Customers will still be able to call at our offices and telephone us for help. That won’t change.

But more and more people want to do things there and then.

“They are used to getting books and music over the net. We can’t expect residents in this day and age to wait days or weeks for relatively simple requests.

“Fylde Council has become more cost-conscious than ever in recent years and this gradual expansion of online ‘interactive’ services will help keep costs down in the future. That has to be good news for all Council Tax-payers and users of council services.”

Cost and simplicity is paramount – but not the only reason for change.

As well as making services instantly contactable, the website redesign is also ordered in a logical way. The days are gone when websites were a confusing tangle of poorly managed information.

Councillor Eaves added: “We’ve examined which of our webpages people click on – and made them easier to find as they follow in a logical order.

“The pages we give prominence to contain the information that we know that people need. It’s no longer good enough for council staff to decide what people should and should not see: the information we now provide is what we know they want.

“The website is now up to private-sector levels of useability and, we believe, one of the easiest to use in local government nationwide.”

Lytham St Annes News 32

Concealed cameras in fly-tipping crackdown Discrete cameras are being installed at fly-tipping hotspots in a bid to drive the scourge of dumped rubbish out of Fylde.

Fly-tipping incidents are running at about 30 per month, creating eyesores in places such as car-parks, lay-bys and woodlands – so Fylde Council’s environmental health officers are installing the cameras to catch out the dumpers.

Most dumping is done by unlicensed waste carriers, but the council is reminding householders that they too have a duty of care in ensuring that people they pay to take rubbish away have a waste carrier’s licence.

“The cameras can be there for days. They are triggered by movement – so we get a picture of the miscreant and, hopefully, of the vehicle they use.

“There is no excuse for householders to fly-tip as they can dispose of their waste at the Saltcotes Household Waste Recycling Centre in Lytham.

“Paid fly-tippers are a bigger problem as they turn up and offer to remove waste cheaply – and simply dump it in the countryside. Even so, householders do have a responsibility as they should ask to see the waste carrier’s licence.

“If the contractor doesn’t have a licence, the householder should find someone who does.

Unlicensed fly-tippers can face large fines but householders who contracted them can also be punished.”

Philip Dent, Principal Officer Environmental Protection, said: “Fylde is a beautiful borough and we are working hard to keep it that way.

Recent incidents have included dumped settees and tonnes of discarded building rubble.

“Whenever we find fly-tipped waste we examine it to try to find out where it has come from. We are now stepping up the fight by installing small cameras at known hotspots.

One recent partially successful case involved a business owner who was given a £300 fixed penalty notice after employing a fly-tipper to dispose of rubbish – the business owner had not checked that the tipper had a licence.

Lytham St Annes News

The LSA YMCA FC’s pitches at its Seafield Rd ground in Lytham are recovering well after the damage caused when it was used for car parking during the 2012 Open Golf Championship at Royal Lytham. Repairs were carried out by contractors hired by the Royal & Ancient Golf Club which was a stipulation for the venue to be used for car parking for the event. Due to the very wet summer more damage was caused than anticipated.

The YMCA FC’s Under 15s Girls team had to be disbanded just prior to the new season due to a shortage of players but the club still fields girls teams at Under 11s and 13s on Sunday mornings For the first time in four years the club has boys teams in all six age groups of the Blackpool & District Youth League, Under 11s to 16s. Games are played on Sunday afternoons at 2.30pm. On Saturday mornings (10.30am) the club fields Under 7s, 8s, 9s, and 10s with the 7s and 8s playing their games at Lytham YMCA at

Did you know - Wear and tear checks avoid needless repairs?

Every vehicle is prone to wear and tear to some extent. But by having yours checked regularly by Chris Allen Garages you can keep every part of it running smoothly and so prevent unnecessary – and often expensive – repairs later on.

Our garages offer a

Free 29 Point Visual Healthcheck

by Fully Qualified Ford and Mazda technicians.

Our trained technicians will run an expert eye over your vehicle.

They’ll check 29 different points, and provide a written report with an explanation of any findings. You’ll receive a competitive estimate upfront for any work needed, but you’re under no obligation to have it done.

To help you decide, the written report grades each element of the healthcheck according to the following colour codes.

Red items - Require urgent attention.

Amber items - Some concerns registered. If not rectified, these items need monitoring to ensure safety and/or reliability and to avoid additional costs.

Green items - Have been checked and are in satisfactory condition.

Our expert staff will explain the report fully to you, to help you decide what action to take, if any.

CALL CHRIS ALLEN GARAGES TODAY, TO BOOK YOUR FREE VEHICLE HEALTHCHECK.
