Warings Solicitors becomes Fylde Law

As many of us at some point in our lifetime are likely to need the services and support of a helpful, reliable and competent lawyer, Fylde Law take pride in making things as stress-free and easy to understand as they can, ensuring that our clients know what is going on at every stage of the legal process.”

Fylde Law is the new name for the recently merged firms of Warings Solicitors, Atkinson Cave & Stuart, Blackledge & Co and Ashley Fisher & Co, who cumulatively have provided over 150 years of legal advice on the Fylde. It also incorporates the old Fylde solicitors firms of Cameron and Ball and Baker, Hoyle and Lees.

Mary Lowe, Family and Probate Solicitor says “as solicitors we understand that legal matters can be highly complex and worrying and that many clients have personal and delicate issues that need handling with the utmost sensitivity and diligence. This is why each client is appointed a named solicitor with the relevant experience to manage their case from start to finish and provide a level of support that client needs. We believe this is the type of law firm people want to use.”

----------------------------

Although a new name, the same traditional values on which all four firms were founded – those of honesty and integrity, professionalism and doing the best for each and every client, still remain at the heart of everything they do. Gary McAnulty, a Director and Criminal Solicitor with the firm comments “the recent mergers and the decision to launch and operate under a new name marks an exciting and important time for the firm. We are committed to our roots and the history of service we have provided to the people of the Fylde over the last century and a half and look forward to delivering the same quality of service and advice as we have always done.

With offices in Blackpool and Lytham St. Annes, Fylde Law is dedicated to providing local people and businesses with access to expert legal knowledge experience and advice without the exasperating legal jargon and formality that often goes with it.

Relax in your very own oasis of calm from as little as £2,999 *Each package includes a choice of suites, taps, fittings & wall & floor tiling etc ....plus the choice of many extras and upgrade options

The most thoughtful decision you could make At J T Byrne, two generations of the family work together to make funeral arrangements that little bit easier to handle at a time when you need help most.

With a pre-paid funeral plan, the cost of which is frozen at today’s price, you are protected against inflation and any other price increase, no matter how much they rise in the future.

Established in 1989, they are the only fully qualified, truly independent funeral directors in Thornton, It reassures you loved ones that your wishes will be Cleveleys & Fleetwood, and deliver a personal service recorded and carried out, and allows them to grieve with both professionalism and dignity. during a most difficult period of time. Dying is certainty of life, but it still remains a subject which some feel difficult to talk about. It means that, more often than not, funeral arrangements aren’t discussed or made in advance. This can, unfortunately mean wishes aren’t always met, and grieving families need to make arrangements at short notice during a very difficult time for them - emotionally & financially.

It also means that your family doesn’t have to worry about the money for your funeral to be paid for, it has already been taken care of. For more information on our pre-paid funeral plans, please telephone our office and we will send you more information or alternatively call in for a chat in person, the kettle is always on.

A funeral plan from your local independent funeral director makes perfect sense

With a Golden Charter funeral plan you’ll benefit from: • Protection against rising funeral costs • Reassurance for your family – no uncertainty or difficult decisions • Complete flexibility to choose the funeral you want • Guaranteed acceptance

Poulton Le Fylde & Garstang News

An idea of what Thornton Skate Park and Poulton spa could look like

Wyre set to reinvent leisure Wyre Council is all set to reinvent leisure after receiving planning permission for new health, fitness, sports and leisure facilities in Poulton and Thornton. Ten pin bowling, a skate park and spa are just a few of the exciting attractions that will transform the two existing leisure centres following this afternoon’s decision. Work is expected to start in early spring by contractors ISG and be completed by the end of 2014. Both centres will remain open while construction takes place. Altogether the council is investing £5.1m in the project in order to take leisure time to a whole new level and provide the most diverse suite of facilities in Lancashire. Thornton’s centre, on Victoria Road East, will house a ten pin bowling alley, indoor skate park and two outside floodlit 3G sports pitches. A new gym and fitness studio facilities will also make it one of the largest on the Fylde Coast. The Poulton site, on Breck Road, will be boosted by a new and enhanced gym, fitness studio space, new changing and shower facilities plus a new state-of-the-art spa with aqua-thermal journey featuring aromatherapy steam, spa pool and more.

Councillor Lynne Bowen, Cabinet member with responsibility for leisure at Wyre Council, said: ‘We are determined to reinvent leisure, providing something a little bit different alongside the more traditional leisure facilities that people come to expect. Choosing attractions that appeal to visitors as well as residents will widen our customer base, which in turn should reduce the amount of public money needed to run our centres. They have an exciting future and I for one can’t wait to see the end results.’ Mike Vernon, YMCA Fylde Coast Leisure Director added: ‘We are now looking at innovative ways to package the new facilities alongside the existing centres. YMCA are committed to providing even better value for money and to increasing the opportunities for more local children, young people, families and adults to participate and enjoy active lifestyles.’

OBITUARY: WINDS OF CHANGE AT CARLETON WI It is with great sadness the news of the sudden death of the President Carol Field of Carleton and District WI was received by members. Carol had been president since 1994 with some time out due to her suffering a serious illness. Carol had been an active fund raiser for various causes over the years despite her own battles with health problems. Carol whole-heartedly lived the W.I and gave her all to her presidency taking on the additional roles of Social Secretary, leading the Holiday and Drama groups in addition to other tasks, making Carleton WI a success. Carol will be deeply missed by everyone who knew her as well as the various community groups in the area she championed. Carol was truly a dedicated member of the community, leaving everyone the better for knowing her. Carleton & District W.I. held their meeting in January and voted in Kathy Scanlon as new president. Kathy is a retired Nurse and Clinical Tutor who is looking forward to her new role albeit under the sad circumstances of the loss of Carol. For further information on the WI Telephone 01253 423241 President Kathy Scanlon WYRE CITIZENS ADVICE BUREAU Thursday: Garstang Medical Centre, Kepple Lane, Garstang PR3 1PB.

Call 01995 602346 WYRE ARCHAEOLOGY Offers a rare opportunity for anyone with an interest in the history of the Fylde Coast and North Preston areas to get hands on experience of practical archaeology. In recent seasons we have excavated a Roman Road in Stalmine, an 18th Century cottage in Pilling, a Roman site in Kirkham and a possible Iron

Age settlement in Thornton. Our 2013 BIG DIG found evidence of Iron Age, Roman and Early Mediaeval presence in the Thornton area. We’ll be following up these tantalising leads in future digs and this season we also plan to investigate the elusive ‘Danes Pad’. WAG is open to people of all ages and has previously provided practical experience for students going on to study for degrees in Archaeology. 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. A meeting, held at Farmer Parr’s in Thornton on the 3rd Wednesday of each month, starting at 7.00pm, keeps everyone informed of activities and there are occasional guest speakers. Non-members may attend up to 3 meetings without charge. If you’ve got a suggestion for a dig please get in touch! Contact: secwyrearch@aol.com or call 0752 850 3710. www.wyrearchaeology.org.uk
