Calling a spade a spade Your ultimate guide to the tools your garden will thank you for digging out this summer. SPADE (AND SHOVEL) Tough, unrelenting, sharp at the base, angular and with ledges for your feet so you can push down deep into the soil, the spade is the ultimate garden tool. The shovel is, in many ways, the refined cousin. More rounded, it comes in different materials and caters for a wider range of jobs (such as moving snow), given that digging deep into the earth is not the primary goal. FORK (AND TROWEL) These two work perfectly together in removing soil and plant matter from smaller areas, such as flower beds and pots. HOE A simple metal plate at the end of a stick, the hoe is used to remove surface debris in small areas. It nudges just under the surface in scraping away leaves, small weeds and bits of dead plant matter, leaving your soil turned over and looking fresh. LAWN EDGER Perhaps the most satisfying garden tool of them all, the lawn edger drives down into

L CAL
lawn edges that are suspended above then beds, leaving an impeccable line between the two.
without anything left behind. The extended handle limits bending down, too.
COBRAHEAD WEEDER The cobrahead weeder looks like a torture implement dating back to the medieval ages, yet its popularity is now only coming to the fore. It uses a cultivating blade at the end of a long, hooked handle, meaning it can plough furrows, remove weeds from underneath and even hack its way through thatch. CLAW WEEDER This weeder offers a pincertype movement at the end, meaning it grabs right at the base of the weed, yanking it out of the ground by the roots
RAKE From debris to leaves, removing fruit from beneath trees to perhaps just picking up weed seedlings so as to allow water to permeate back into the soil, the humble rake actually comes in many different forms and will serve you well all year round. PRUNER Modern pruners have become real technical works of art, with adjustable settings that will shape to the size of your hand. Look for a pair that have cushioned grips around the handle, to save on late-afternoon hand ache! PRUNING SAW The pruning saw does the same job as a pruner, albeit with a bit more strength and power. Capable of tackling branches without the need for a full-on saw, it’s a compact yet extremely powerful piece of kit.

Leisure centres in Wyre off to a brilliant start Leisure centres in Wyre have got off to a brilliant start following their recent reopening with members new and old enjoying getting back to the gym and swimming. Thanks to £1.5 million of funding from Wyre Council and a £235,000 grant from the National Leisure Recovery Fund, centres in Fleetwood, Thornton and Garstang have been able to reopen. Staff at the centres are now looking forward to being able to host indoor fitness classes from next Monday as we move into step 3 out of lockdown. Poulton Leisure Centre is still being used to provide a vital community service as a rapid test centre and pick up point for coronavirus test kits, and Fylde Coast YMCA hope to reopen it by September. Reflecting on the reopening of Fleetwood Leisure Centre, Dave Parker, Senior Manager for Physical Activity at Fylde Coast YMCA comments, “Our swimming lessons have restarted with strong numbers from the off and increased interest has been growing all week with over 100 new children booked in just in the last week alone. “Fleetwood schools returned on Tuesday 4 May working towards their Key Stage 2 swimming achievements and the response from the teachers and children has been very positive with the children clearly happy to be back learning this important life-skill and the teachers are pleased with how covid secure the centres are. “The swimming clubs have restarted their sessions for elite swimmers and younger children and are looking to regrow their programme back to full operation over the coming weeks. “The numbers allowed into our public swimming

sessions are unfortunately still limited owing to coronavirus safety regulations, but we have already managed to add additional sessions since we opened to allow even more local users into the pools. We are also reviewing our programme on a daily basis in order to increase opportunities for swimmers wherever and whenever we can whilst strictly following all current covid guidance and regulations. “There is clearly a desire to get back into the swimming pools from the local community and that has been most apparent by the number of happy smiling faces. Today I sat in the spectator area at Fleetwood and just listened to the children from one of our local primary schools. The children were happy and excited, enjoying their swimming lesson and I thought to myself, that is just the best noise I’ve heard in more than a year.” Councillor Lynne Bowen, Portfolio Holder for Leisure, Health and Community Engagement at Wyre Council comments, “It’s wonderful to see Wyre’s leisure centres back open and full of life. I want to thank everyone who has supported the centres. Every swim and gym session booked is helping to secure the longer term future of the centres. “We understand the frustration people have felt when the centres were closed, but through the long hours we have spent looking at ways we can ensure the centres are able to reopen and be safe we’ve been able to achieve this for our residents when the time was right. Fylde Coast YMCA have some brilliant membership offers available and I’d urge anyone who’s not been back since the reopening to take a look at the brilliant facilities we are lucky to have across the borough.” Fylde Coast YMCA is contracted to operate the leisure centres in Wyre on behalf of the council.

Recipe Tip
For perfect pasta always use a generous-sized pot, salt your water (it should almost be as salty as seawater) and avoid overcooking – al dente is the authentic Italian way!
Ingredients
Creamy Courgette Sausage Penne Introduction
Simple and flavoursome with a generous serving of veg, this is one of those weeknight meals ideal for when you want to feel satisfied but also a little virtuous.
Method
1. While waiting for a large pot of water to boil, prepare the sausages by squeezing the meat gently from their casings - discard the skin. Heat a widebased pan with a tablespoon of oil and at a medium to hot heat add the sausage meat and cook until browned (6-7 minutes) breaking the meat up with a wooden spoon as you go. Remove and set aside the cooked sausage meat. 2. Put the pasta in the boiling water. Next, lower the heat to medium on your nowempty frying pan before gently sautéing the garlic and chilli flakes - add more oil if 26
L CAL
necessary. After one minute, add the red onion and grated courgette, frying till softened. 3. Return your sausage meat to the pan with your onion and courgette, along with the crème fraiche and two thirds of the grated cheese. Next add your drained pasta along with a splash of the pasta water and simmer for two minutes until everything is combined and your sauce becomes silky and rich. Serve your pasta in bowls and garnish with your remaining cheese and the chopped parsley.
(serves four) • 6 Cumberland sausages • 400g penne pasta • 3 cloves of garlic (crushed or diced) • 1 red onion (peeled and sliced) • 1 large courgette (grated) • 250ml crème fraiche • 1 tbsp dried chilli flakes • 60g grated parmesan or other hard Italian cheese • Handful of chopped fresh parsley
Top Tips
• Pasta is endlessly versatile, so feel free to riff on the ingredients to suit your taste… swap cream cheese for crème fraiche, red onion for white onion and courgette for any vegetable you fancy, from chopped kale to tenderstem broccoli, or even Borlotti beans. • For the ultimate weeknight ease, stock up your pantry and freezer with a few handy cheats: garlic puree is the perfect way to get flavour over fuss; frozen peas are delicious when added to this kind of pasta and an abundant spice rack is invaluable when it comes to last-minute flavouring.

Local News
Wyre Council appoints Mental Health Champion Wyre Council has appointed Councillor Julie Robinson as their Mental Health Champion to raise awareness of mental health issues and the support that is available across the borough. Councillor David Henderson, Leader of Wyre Council comments, “The importance of good mental health has been much discussed in recent years and there is no doubt that the coronavirus pandemic has affected many people. Lockdowns and restrictions have resulted in periods of social isolation for many. Add to this financial and health concerns and it’s clear to see that the pandemic is likely to have an impact on mental health for a significant period in the future. “We want to ensure that as a council we are here to support those in need in our community. Appointing a Mental Health Champion reaffirms our commitment to raising awareness of the importance of good mental health, the issues that can affect our wellbeing and the support that is available to our residents. It also provides a point of contact for support groups and services to tell us about what help is available for local residents. Councillor Robinson is the first person to hold this important role for Wyre following a unanimous vote in favour at Wyre’s full council meeting last night. She will hold the position until the next local elections in 2023. Councillor Robinson explains what she hopes to achieve in her new role, “This week is Mental Health Awareness Week, a good time to reflect on the impact the last year has had on us all. Thankfully people are talking more openly about mental health but there is still work to be done to end the stigma associated with it. As we move into the new normal, people are trying to adjust once again and looking after our mental health is something that’s important to us all particularly considering the affect the pandemic has had on everyone, people of all ages and backgrounds. “I am Wyre’s representative on the Joint Lancashire Health and Scrutiny Committee which is where the initial idea for this new role came from. My experience and interest in this field led me to put myself forward for this role which I’m delighted to now start. I hope to be the council’s advocate for mental health issues, play a part in helping to signpost people to support and help promote activities that can make a positive contribution to mental health. “As a council we run lots of activities to help people get outside and connect with others

and with nature. We’ve recently started up our guided walks, cycle rides and bump and buggy walks again and we look forward to bringing back other activities such as the gardening club at Memorial Park, Fun Arts at Garstang Library and the Harmony and Health singing groups across the borough.” Councillor Robinson is keen to hear about support groups and services that are available in Wyre. Get in touch by emailing Julie.robinson@wyre.gov.uk To find out what support is available and what activities are on offer in Wyre follow @ HealthierWyre on Facebook or Twitter or visit www.wyre.gov.uk/health
