“With the Re-use Shop, people will be able to go along, have a look around and perhaps put some of these items to good use while helping support local charities and the HWRC in the process.
A new shop, packed with bargains which may otherwise have been destined for the scrapheap, is set to be opened by Blackpool Council.
“I’m quite excited to see how the idea works and I hope the public will give it their support.”
As part of the council’s environmental efforts, the Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC) on Bristol Avenue, Bispham, is to open the Re-use Shop. The idea is inspired by council staff’s shock at the amount of perfectly good, usable items being disposed of at the site. Staff hope to rescue everything from books and board games to DVD’s and desks and sell them on to raise money for local charities while also helping to fund the running of the site. Cllr Fred Jackson, cabinet member for streets and transport, said: “This is a tremendous idea which I hope will help to cut waste and prevent perfectly good items being sent to landfill. “People often have items that are no longer wanted but don’t like the idea of just disposing of them if they are still fit for purpose.
Acceptable items
Unacceptable items NO electrical items (as these need to be PAT tested) Bric-a-brac NO hazardous items Mirrors (eg knives, weapons) Pictures/Frames NO Safety helmets / hats Small Furniture items (eg bike helmets) NO Car seats Sports equipment NO Pushchairs / prams Videos/CDs/DVDs NO Toiletries (perfume etc) NO Toys for children under the age of three Books
The cost of all items will be relatively small and a receipt will be given for any item purchased. The shop is expected to be ready to open towards the end of the month and its opening hours will be 10am to 4pm on Friday to Tuesday (closed Wednesday, Thursday).

Blackpool Football Club back speed pledge scheme
up to support the campaign.
Blackpool Football Club has become the latest organisation to urge people to kick speeding into touch by backing the “Blackpool is 30 or less” scheme. Players and staff from the club, including star midfielder Angel Martinez, goalkeeper Matt Gilks and new loan signing Matt Derbyshire, recently signed Matt Gilks said: “We are delighted to support Blackpool Council’s ‘Blackpool is 30 or less campaign’. “We recognise the safety of our fans travelling to matches and we want to set an example. We are keen to help support this campaign to save lives and prevent injuries on the roads. “I hope our fans will take part and help to continue to bring down the number of road collisions in the town.” The club follow Blackpool Police and the Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service in showing their support for the campaign. Other organisations are set to tackle speeding in the coming weeks including schools, colleges and business groups. So far more than 3,600 people have signed up to show their support and more are set to follow.
“I hope the club’s support will inspire fans to take part.” The 2013, Blackpool is 30 or less campaign was launched in January at an event which saw councillors sign up at the Town Hall. In February it has been backed by Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service and Blackpool Police with Lancashire’s Chief Fire Officer, Chris Kenny and Blackpool’s top cop, Stuart Noble, pledging his support. Blackpool Council’s Road Safety Team will be engaging with other groups throughout the year to spread the word about the pledge throughout the town.
For more information on the campaign and to sign the pledge visit www.blackpool.gov.uk/speedlimits
Cllr Fred Jackson, cabinet member for streets and transport, has already pledged to try to double the number of people who support the campaign this year. He said: “It’s fantastic of the players and the staff at the club to support the campaign. “Our football team is a great source of pride within the town for the way they play, their storied history and the impact they have in the community. “I’m a big Blackpool FC fan myself so I’m delighted personally that they are supporting a campaign which I am leading.

SL Medical Nonsurgical treatments have become increasingly popular for both women and men over the past decade. A browse on the internet can leave you confused and baffled as to which clinic, or treatment, to choose to improve your appearance. By far the commonest nonsurgical treatments offered by most clinics are anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers.
Fillers are injected along the facial lines to help lift and smoothen their appearance. Essentially they replace the hyaluronic acid in the skin that has been lost with age.
Anti-wrinkle injections, more commonly known as Botox, are mainly used to treat the upper face and to improve expression lines on the forehead, brow and around the eyes. It works by relaxing the muscle in these areas before softening the lines that have formed over the years. With regular treatment, these lines can actually disappear. Indeed there are a number of different brands of anti-wrinkle injections but they all essentially work in the same way.
SL
Dermal filler is generally used to treat the lower part of the face, especially lines around the nose, mouth, upper lip and chin areas. Dermal fillers are also used to give volume and shape to both upper and lower lips. There is a huge range of branded fillers, but the most well known is Restylane - the most trusted and recommended filler on the market.
At SL Medical we take the time to understand and address our client’s needs and expectations before taking any decision to treat. That is why we offer all our clients a free, no obligation consultation and provide expert advice on the range of treatments we offer. A fully qualified medical doctor performs all treatments.

Blackpool News
Where are you really eating out? Blackpool Council is backing a new national campaign encouraging consumers to pay more attention to food hygiene when they eat out. The “Where are you really eating out?” food safety campaign has been launched by the Food Standards Agency and uses light-hearted but provocative imagery to challenge assumptions about hygiene. There is a serious message behind the campaign though; people should take care when choosing a restaurant or takeaway. Cllr Gillian Campbell, cabinet member for housing and public protection at Blackpool Council, said: “No one wants to be on the wrong end of a meal that has been cooked in unsafe conditions without regard to proper hygiene and safety rules. “We’re working hard in Blackpool to try to protect the public and it’s pleasing that is now spreading across the country. “Schemes like this which raise awareness are driving up standards but where that is not enough, we will continue to take enforcement action as necessary to ensure that the safety of our residents
and visitors is not put at risk.” In Blackpool, the council’s Food Hygiene Rating Scheme, launched in October 2011, has scored more than 1,200 restaurants, cafes and takeaways based on kitchen inspections. Most local authorities have now followed suit, giving consumers a wealth of information on how to choose a safe eaterie. There is even a new Food Hygiene Rating mobile app which people can find by searching “food hygiene” within the app store on their tablet or mobile device.
To check food hygiene ratings in your area, visit www.food.gov.uk/ratings or simply have a look for the ratings sticker in businesses windows. If the business is not displaying a rating – ask yourself why! Diners and ‘would be’ food critics are also invited to share and compare their gastronomic experiences by posting messages on Facebook and Twitter.
