- Celebrating 20 Years of excellent service to our customers

James started his career in the RAF, where he trained as a motor mechanic. On leaving the RAF, he rented his first garage on Station Road in Poulton in 1993. He steadily built up his business and then expanded into larger premises, when he moved to Fleetwood in July 2002 by buying Central Garage down Albany Road.

He now has a team of 13 staff including reception, office and workshop / service bays.

They offer a wide range of services including MOT testing (class 4, 7 and motorbikes), fixedprice servicing, diagnostics, computerised wheel alignment & tyres, air-conditioning checks, batteries, etc. They also offer free courtesy cars, and even have a courtesy van for commercial customers!

James has a simple philosophy, “We take good care of each and every customer that comes our way”. That philosophy runs right through the company where there is a strong emphasis on Customer Care. From Lesley and Debbie who are on hand to take your call through to the highly- trained mechanics, the team are there to assist and advise at every step of the way.

All prices at the garage are fully inclusive, with no hidden extras. James’ works on a basic philosophy to be honest and reliable at all times.

James said “We describe all work required in simple terms, no jargon. We always look for the best & most cost-effective solution to meet your repair needs. We never start work until the job has been quoted and approved by the customers”.

Need tyres? They have a large range of tyres in stock to cater for all makes and models & to meet all budgets. James has also invested in a ‘Nitrogen Tyre Inflation’ machine which is guaranteed to increase the efficiency of your vehicle and reduce your fuel consumption.

James said “At Central Garage, we are always

12

looking for products & services that we can offer our customers to help reduce the cost of their motoring”. The Nitrogen Tyre Inflation machine is just one such way in which a little investment from the customer can prove longer-term benefits.

James Jackson’s Central Garage is one of the only local garages where you can still have your car filled up by an attendant! James explained “We recognise that some of our customers find it difficult to fill the car themselves and like our ‘old-fashioned’ approach to fuelling cars. That is why we offer this service”. James said “I’ve been running a garage now for 20 years with many customers that have been with me right from the start. But I like to think that although we’ve expanded, we are large enough to cope but small enough to care”.

James and his family now live in Thornton Cleveleys, where both his wife and himself were brought up. James spends much of his spare time in Fleetwood though, where on a Saturday afternoon you’ll find him at Highbury stadium cheering on Fleetwood Town FC along with the Cody Army. James Jackson’s Central Garage is situated just a stone’s throw from the ground down Albany Road, just off Poulton Road.

James and the team would like to thank all their customers both old and new, and look forward to seeing them soon.

COOKING FOR THE FAMILY

Time to chill

Whether you love American-style gooey ice cream desserts smothered in toffee sauce, or a tart, palate-cleansing sorbet, there’s nothing like a cold treat to finish off a summer meal.

Iced strawberry pavlova roll (Serves 6-8) 2tsp cornflour 225g caster sugar 4 egg whites Icing sugar, sifted 350ml shop-bought strawberry sorbet 120ml double cream Icing sugar, fresh strawberries and mint leaves, to decorate Line a Swiss roll tin with greaseproof paper, cut to fit. Sift the cornflour and blend evenly with the caster sugar. Whisk the egg whites until they form peaks but are not dry and crumbly.

Then whisk in the sugar-cornflour mixture gradually until stiff and glossy. Spoon into the prepared tin and flatten out the top. Place in a cold oven and turn it to 150C/Gas Mark 2. Cook for 1 hour until the top is crisp but the meringue still feels springy. Turn out immediately onto a double sheet of greaseproof paper that has been sprinkled with sifted icing sugar and leave to cool.

22

Meanwhile, soften the sorbet and whip the cream.

When the meringue has cooled, carefully and quickly spread it with the sorbet and then with the whipped cream. Roll up, using the paper as a support and wrap lightly in foil. Return to the freezer. Freeze for about 1 hour (or up to several days) before serving, sprinkled with more icing sugar and topped with fresh strawberries and mint.

Fleetwood News

Fleetwood Plus is a new Community Interest Company that will be based in the 'Angel Building', this building will named in memory of Elyssa Precious and Tyler Brodie, who were the Grandchildren of founder member and First Director George Greenall.

In 2009 George's daughter Laura and her husband Will Brodie looked into purchasing the Clifton and Orient Building to set up Elyssa Leisure in memory of their daughter Elyssa Precious who tragically died at birth.

This was instigated when Elyssa's grave was being vandalised on the local cemetery and Laura and Will thought that by offering people alternative and additional recreational activities this would help eradicate such behaviour.

Unfortunately Laura and Will suffered another tragic loss that year and therefore the original plans were abandoned but the vision wouldn't go away.

Since 2009 we have been researching and developing our ideas and with consultation

with people in the community we now feel the plans of an arts and community hub can be realised, with the emphasis being on the arts, the community and the town's heritage. The facility will allow users to participate in creative learning and enjoyment and will be known as The 'Angel' Building, dedicated in memory of Elyssa and Tyler and all those in the community who have lost someone too soon...

This venture will be for the whole of the community to benefit from and we would therefore ask that the community get behind us in which ever way they feel they can...

We are looking for individuals, groups or companies who may be able to help in any way – either financially or by way of volunteering their time/skills or by donation of materials anything from bag packing to sky diving or just having a collection tin in a shop it all helps If you can help with any of the above please contact George on Tel: 01253 825206 or for more information browse our website or ask to be place on our mailing list Email: info@ fleetwoodplustv.co.uk Website: www.fleetwoodplustv.co.uk

Fleetwood Plus Community Interest Company are in the process of

securing the Orient and Clifton building on a ten year lease deal, which will see an old trawler net manufacturers and customs office being transformed into vibrant and welcoming spaces where people can meet, perform, learn, work and be entertained.

The photographs show how the building is now in disrepair and how is may look in the future...

Local debt councelling centre grows to cope with the need

offices. Clients’ creditors are contacted by CAP, a workable budget is set for the household and the charity continues to give support and encouragement until the client is debt free.

Centre Manager for the Fleetwood branch Lisa Tudor said: “We’re delighted to be welcoming debt coach Anne Carlos onto the team at such a crucial time.

As the financial squeeze continues the Fleetwood branch of a debt counselling charity is taking on extra staff to bring more free help to those in need.

From this week, the centre, based at Emmanuel Church will be welcoming a new debt coach to their team resulting in more appointment slots for people suffering from out-of-control debts.

The centre, which opened in 2005, has seen a steady growth in the number of people getting in touch as word has spread of CAP’s uniquely indepth, caring and face-to-face help.

Typically most clients get in touch after personal recommendation while others are referred by local GPs, housing associations and council

Contrary to popular opinion debts are rarely caused by overspending alone. The most common reason is a change in circumstance, for example job loss, relationship breakdown, accident or illness in the family.

THE MOUNT RACING CLUB UPDATE

THE DERBY In wake of the 100th year anniversary of the famous “Suffragette Derby” which saw campaigner Emily Davidson throw herself in front of the Kings horse, it was quite fitting that another female should be making all the headlines. The female in

question was our very own trainer Elaine Burke who made her own piece of history by saddling Libertarian to finish second and secure best ever Derby finish by a female trained horse. Afterwards Elaine acknowledged the famous link to history by saying “It’s nice to do it for the Ladies”. Her only regret as she bemoaned the slow pace was that Libertarian did not win. “Its a shame they didnt go more of a gallop for us as it would of suited him, a good pace and another furlong and he would of been in front” These comments were echoed by his jockey William Buick who said that it was some performance from Libertarian and has no doubt that this is a horse with a wonderful big race temperament and one that is full of promise for the future. He also went on to pay tribute to Elaine and Karl Burke by saying it was a top class training performance by them and they got his preparation absolutely spot on. A job well done by Team Burke and the rest of the staff at Spigot Lodge.

Pleased to say all our horses are fine, Loki is enjoying a summer break and will be back in the autumn when his targets may well include a few races across the channel in France. Eva Clare is taking a bit longer than we thought to fill her frame but were in no rush with her as we feel she going to be a very nice prospect indeed and Hot Right Now is currently entered up in plenty of races and hopefully will be winning a few of them along the way. All in all everything is positive at present and long may it continue.

The achievements of Libertarian has certainly had a positive knock on for Karl and all the team and benefits everyone else connected with the yard as interest grows in all his other horses in training.

We have certainly felt the feel good factor and once again it goes to show what can happen once you’re involved in the magic of Racehorse Ownership.

Hello, We are well into the summer months and as I type this article patrols are very busy dealing with the increased demand the warm weather brings with it. A large majority of the incidents occurring are alcohol related – please drink sensibly, enjoy a beer but don’t drink excessively. Sadly some do, and this invariably means that police are called because of some sort of violent incident.

Don’t spend a night in the cells, and possibly a court appearance or worse!!
