IS YOUR CONSERVATORY TOO COLD? AFTER

Dont replace your conservatory roof, just insulate it !

C

osy Conservatory is a Lytham based conservatory insulation specialist that transforms the inside of your conservatory roof, to give it a fully insulated, strong, and smooth plastered ceiling, whilst keeping the original shape of your roof. It does all this without even having to change anything on the outside of your conservatory, so no planning permission is required.

After cross-ventilating the ceiling, Cosy Conservatory installs a high performance composite insulation to the inside ceiling of the conservatory, there are multiple layers of reflective and insulating materials to reduce heat-loss by a stunning 90%.

No other conservatory insulation solution can deliver anywhere near this figure. Your conservatory will stay warm in the Winter, and prevent the ‘greenhouse effect’ during Summer.

You’ll therefore need to use far less energy to keep your conservatory warm, drastically reducing energy costs.

After the support framework, cross ventilation, insulation and panelling is installed, the conservatory ceiling will then be plastered to perfection, allowing it to be painted in the colour of your choice. The entire process takes just 1 to 3 days to complete, depending on the size of the conservatory. Your conservatory ceiling will no longer look like a conservatory ceiling, but instead will match perfectly with all the other rooms of your house. And because the entire conservatory will be strengthened and insulated rain noise is reduced by 95%, so you can enjoy that dinner party without worrying whether it’s going to rain.

BEFORE

KEEP THE HEAT IN AND THE COLD OUT

Amazingly it has all these benefits, whilst at the same time costing less, on average, than ceiling blinds, and a quarter of the cost of plastic tile effect roofs, making it the most cost effective solution available.

You will need a solicitor that treats you as the key member of its defence team and you will need a solicitor with the contacts to secure the best barristers in the country to represent you at court.”

Have You Thought About Being A Neighbourhood Watch Coordinator?

Neighbourhood Watch, along with a host of other Watch Schemes that the Police has created, brings a community together with the same goal in mind – to help make a particular area a better place to live; people watch out for each other and tell the Police if they suspect a crime is taking place or there are circumstances that may lead to a crime – such as suspicious people or vehicles driving around the neighbourhood.

A Watch scheme is a citizen-organised system of policing in a particular community or environment to prevent crime and disorder. Being a Neighbourhood Watch Coordinator is not a difficult or time-consuming task – in fact, you decide the number of homes you wish to include in your Watch scheme.

So, you may ask, how do I go about becoming a Neighbourhood Watch Coordinator? You either

Contact Sue Blackburn, Watch Liaison Officer, Lancashire Constabulary on 01253 604134 or email her susan.blackburn@lancashire. pnn.police.uk or talk to a member of your Neighbourhood Policing team. Information will be provided on the process, which is quick and easy. Interested? Please contact Sue Blackburn, above, or a member of your Neighbourhood Policing team.

Exciting Future For Hackett’s Saddlery Hackett’s Saddlery is a family run business, being horse owners themselves for over 20 years, along with dogs, cats and children.

The owners have used their clinical nursing skills along with a keen interest in equine nutrition to develop a comprehensive knowledge base. They give up to date nutrition advice by providing regular training sessions with leading equine nutritionists.

Customers know they will get only the best advice on feed, nutrition and care for their horse.

Noel and Susie have owned Hackett’s Saddlery for two years now and have seen their business grow continuously throughout this time, adding many new brands to the store including: Supreme products, BOGS, USG, HORZE, and others by request.

Hackett’s Saddlery have a lot of repeat customers who buy everything from feed to bridles and more.

They enjoy the shop because they can see how it has developed over two years to provide ‘everything for the horse and rider and more’.

Noel and Susie say “As we look to expand to bigger premises we hope to foster the horse community

feel, by having regular advice evenings at the request of our customers.”

They now have regular customers who come from all over the North West, as word starts to spread about Hackett’s Saddlery.

Preesall schoolboy wins Sheraton Trophy Twelve year old Brandon Evans has won this year’s Sheraton Trophy The Saint Aidan’s school pupil, who lives in Preesall, was nominated by the Garstang and Over Wyre neighbourhood policing team for his work on the Preesall Dog Fouling Challenge.

Awarded annually to an individual, group or team, the Sheraton Trophy recognises young people who have brought pride to the borough as a result of their achievements. Brandon set up the Preesall Dog Fouling Challenge after noticing a problem with dog fouling in the area when he was out and about on his skateboard.

He began by picking up dog mess left behind by irresponsible dog owners. With the help of his family he set up a facebook page - Preesall Dog Fouling Challenge - highlighting the problem and aiming to get other people involved.

Brandon made contact with Keep Britain Tidy who assisted in his quest by providing posters and stickers and Wyre Council provided poo bags. Brandon has been out on patrol with Wyre Council’s Area Officer for Preesall helping to identify good locations for new bins that will be installed soon. He was also invited along to the Police Station. As well as attracting the attention of local residents, Brandon’s efforts have been recognised by the local media and he won the Radio Wave Kids’ Choice Green Award. Brandon has also been asked by his school to get involved in a community volunteering project.

Former Mayor of Wyre, Councillor John Hodgkinson, presenting the Sheraton Trophy to Brandon Evans Brandon is planning to have a rest from the campaign and concentrate on his skateboarding for a while but may well revisit it during the summer holidays. His efforts in highlighting the dog fouling problem should result in local dog owners being more responsible and an improvement in the situation in Preesall.

Brandon’s dad Stephen Evans commented: ‘I am really pleased with the recognition that Brandon has had from the public, local newspapers and radio and Wyre Council.’

Work due to start on leisure redevelopments Construction work is due to start to redevelop two health and fitness centres in Wyre Thanks to a £5.1m investment from Wyre Council, Thornton will benefit from a ten-pin bowling alley, indoor skate park, 3G outdoor pitches and additional fitness facilities, while Poulton will be extended to make room for an indulgent spa experience and new fitness studio.

Contractors ISG will move on to both sites after Easter and in order to ensure the least amount of disruption throughout the seven-month build, Thornton will need to close from tomorrow (17 April) until early May for essential preliminary work.

During this period a large wall will be erected between the main sports hall and the rest of the building, taking in the mezzanine and first floor.

This will separate the building works from the rest of the centre and still allow customer access to two squash courts and Sports Hall A, housing the gym and activities including group exercise classes, gymnastics, martial arts and badminton.

40

The Poulton site remains unaffected as construction will start outside the existing building. As part of their membership package, members can continue to use all YMCA centres throughout the Fylde Coast with the nearest being Fleetwood and Poulton.

Michael Ryan, Corporate Director of People and Places at Wyre Council, said: ‘Can we thank everyone in advance for their patience and reiterate that ourselves and the YMCA are doing everything we can to keep the centre operating throughout the redevelopment. As with any big building project there may be some inconvenience, especially at the beginning, but we ask members to keep in mind the fantastic new facilities they will be able to enjoy by the end of the year.’

Illuminations Switch On 2014 Register NOW for wristbands for the Illuminations Switch on 2014 Register NOW – that’s the message from Blackpool tourism bosses as demand for the FREE 2014 Illuminations Switch-On heightens.

More than 3,000 people have already signed up ahead of the wristbands even being made available. And as registration opened at 9am on Wednesday 23 April, organisers at VisitBlackpool are urging people to get online at www. visitblackpool.com/switchon to avoid missing out.

Lancashire-based radio station Rock FM has already been announced as the media partner for Blackpool’s biggest night of the year which takes place this year on Friday 29 August on the Promenade’s Tower Festival Headland. The last free Switch-On in 2012 saw requests for more than 53,000 wristbands and with only 18,500 wristbands available this year, it is inevitable VisitBlackpool will be unable to meet everyone’s demands.

All wristbands will be allocated randomly with a maximum of four tickets per household, at least 6,000 of which will be allocated to people living within the Borough of Blackpool.

Cllr Graham Cain, Blackpool Council Cabinet Member for Tourism and Leisure, said: ‘There’s a real buzz around this year’s Switch-On with people already contacting the VisitBlackpool

44

team in the hope of getting wristbands. SwitchOn is a fantastic night for Blackpool and we hope to see a really good mix of residents and visitors enjoying the party atmosphere.’

The full line up of performers for Switch-On night will be announced over the coming weeks and media partner Rock FM will be promoting the event across the Bauer Media Group’s radio network in Scotland, Yorkshire and the North West Rock FM Breakfast presenters Hywel & Jamie added: “It’s Blackpool’s biggest night of the year and we are looking forward to seeing as many people there as possible, so get your name preregistered, it’s going to be a night to remember.”

Wristband registration closes at 12noon on Friday 8 August and successful applicants will be notified by email on Friday 15 August.

For your chance to be there on the big night go to www.visitblackpool.com/switchon Those who are not lucky enough to receive wristbands will be able to tune in and listen to the event being broadcast through Rock FM and other Bauer Media Group station online channels.

World’s Largest Indoor Illuminations Opens Its Doors Illuminasia is the first attraction of its kind in Europe, over 35,000 led lights shine in a world of darkness lit by super-sized lantern structures.

Illuminasia, the World’s largest indoor illuminations experience, has finally opened its doors in Olympia at Blackpool’s Winter Gardens.

A team of 55 Chinese artisans has spent over a month creating giant 3D structures using traditional lantern craft to create one of the most visually stunning attractions the UK has ever seen.

Visitors will walk through six different zones spanning over 4000 square metres after entering the venue via a giant kalightascope tunnel.

The journey through the different zones will take families through the Mysteries of China to meet the Dragon Emperor guarded by rows of giant Terracotta warriors. The Blackpool Experience, gives a snapshot of the town’s rich history and heritage and a virtual map of the resort, complete with the three 3D piers and other famous landmarks with the famous seafront taking centre stage.

In the Land of the Giants guests will take a walk through a huge garden, weaving in and out of giant blades of grass, in a scene that could be straight from Honey I Shrunk the Kids.

Dwarfed by huge daisies, insects, birds and an enthusiastic puppy chasing its ball this magical scene creates the feeling of being the size of an ant!

46

Underwater fun and adventure with sharks and sea creatures in The Deep then make way for the Wonders of the World. These huge structures including the Tower of Pisa and the Statue of Liberty also sit alongside a 45-foot high fully illuminated Blackpool Tower!

The astounding Illuminasia structures are created from moulded steel framework which is then covered with coloured layers of silk before being lit in a blend of ancient Chinese lantern craft with the latest in lighting technology.

Co-Producer of the attraction Jon Conway said: “Words really don’t do the work here justice.

What has been created is unlike anything seen in Europe before and we are stunned with the final result. When I discovered these lantern shows on an overseas trip it seemed that Blackpool, home of the lights, would be the perfect place to stage it in the UK. Here we are and the first reactions of visitors say it all. We are thrilled.”

The attraction is open now and runs throughout the year – whatever the weather, from 11am.

We’re keen to have new digging members but you’d be welcome whatever skill you might be able to bring at whatever level. We’re fully insured and we provide basic training and equipment. We’re affiliated to the Council for British Archaeology and have strong links with local professionals in the field.
