Funeral Planner of the year J T Byrne Funeral Directors named regional Funeral Planner of the Year and received a nomination within the top 3 in the country.

T

hornton-Cleveleys and Fleetwood funeral director J T Byrne Funeral Directors has been named the best mid-sized funeral planner in the West Lancashire & Merseyside area and also named within the top 3 in the country at 2015’s Funeral Planner of the Year awards.

The win came during a competitive year. Run by market leading funeral plan provider Golden Charter, the awards are the biggest gathering of independent funeral directors in the UK, with this year’s event the largest ever held.

The funeral director’s John Byrne said: “We are delighted to have won this prestigious award for the fourth year running. This reflects upon the support we receive from the local community. We are proud to be at the forefront of helping families at their time of need and providing Golden Charter funeral plans.

J T Byrne are a family business supporting families.

Ronnie Wayte, Golden Charter’s Chief Executive, said: “In their 22nd year the awards are more competitive than ever before, with funeral plans continuing to grow in popularity. This award is well earned proof that J T Byrne Funeral Directors has reached a remarkable standard.”

The Funeral Planner of the Year Awards focus on the funeral planning achievements of independent funeral directors, who make up a growing majority of the funeral industry. With recent Mintel figures showing that the average price of funerals has increased 88% in the past ten years to £3,609, more people are choosing to use pre-paid funeral plans to freeze the cost of the funeral director’s services at today’s prices.

A funeral plan from your SAVE local independent upto funeral director makes £465 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

Schoolchildren create a buzz at Thornton park

C

crops. Here in the UK our bees are facing many dangers such as habitat loss, widespread use of toxic pesticides and climate change.

A special meadow seed mix of British wildflowers and grasses has been planted to provide a haven for bees and other insects, as part of a national campaign to halt the decline of the UK’s native wild bee population.

“But all is not lost; the message is getting through and people are happy to tell you about the plants they have grown and the bees they have seen visiting their garden. It is wonderful to have an opportunity like this to plant a Bee World in the beautiful Wyre Estuary Country Park, and to have the children of Baines Endowed along to help us do this. The children are our future. When they develop a love of nature it will stay with them throughout their lives.”

hildren from Baines Endowed VC School in Thornton Cleveleys have joined forces with Friends of the Earth and Wyre’s countryside rangers to create a Bee World at Wyre Estuary Country Park.

Wyre Estuary Country Park already boasts a beefriendly nectar garden containing flowers, herbs, fruit and vegetables selected to attract wildlife and ensure a continuous supply of nectar and pollen from spring through to autumn.

Alison Boden, Coast and Countryside Manager at Wyre Council, said: “It’s great to have the opportunity to work with the local community to create a Bee World and at the same time increase biodiversity at the park. We’re also looking to extend the nectar garden around the main visitor car park over winter, making Wyre Estuary Country Park a thriving environment for bees and insects.”

Friends of the Earth’s Bee Worlds project aims to cover the UK in bee-friendly wildflowers, with over 350 already in existence.

Dot Kelk, Friends of the Earth Volunteer, said: “Our bees are in crisis. Without them our environment and our economy are in trouble too. It would cost farmers £1.8 billion dollars a year if they had to hand pollinate 34

Mrs Judy Whitehead, Year 5 Teacher at Baines Endowed VC School, said: “We have an eco-group at school and are also creating an outdoor classroom, so this is an extension of our outdoor learning.

“The children have been very excited and it’s lovely for them to create a Bee World within walking distance of the school, where they can come back and see the fruits of their labours.”

Wyre Estuary Country Park received its twelfth Green Flag Award in July, which recognises it as one of the best parks and green spaces in the country.

Visitors can enjoy a network of accessible paths by the breathtaking Wyre Estuary, innovative natural children’s play areas, year-round activities and events for all the family and delicious refreshments at the Wyreside Cafe.

Princes Way to re-open as sea defence works near completion

T

he new promenade, along with Princes Way, is now open to the public.

A two and a half year construction programme has seen a brand new 1km seawall replace the old crumbling structure, while a newly elevated road and better access to the nearby park have also been installed.

The new £27m sea defence will provide better flood protection to thousands of nearby properties during the winter weather, in an area which has been prone to flooding as recently as 2013.

The previous flood defences, which were originally constructed back in the 1930s, were secured and built over, with approximately 2,500 pre-cast concrete revetment slabs, wave breaker units and wave walls, as well as in the region of 3,000 tonnes of steel, which provide the primary flood protection from Little Bispham to Anchorsholme.

In addition, precast wall and step units provide the rear defences to achieve the required level of flood protection for the surrounding community.

Memorial plaques from the old seawall have been returned to the new promenade, while pay and display parking has been introduced to the road to stop concerns from residents about overnight parking by motorhomes on Princes Way. In total, over 160 workers were employed as part of the construction process, with coastal construction experts joined by dozens of local apprentices from across the Fylde coast.

Princes Way, which used to flood regularly during bad weather and high tides, has also been raised to the same level as Anchorsholme Park, meaning that it is less likely to flood, while providing better access between the Promenade and the park.

While the vast majority of the flood protection is now in place, some additional work on the Promenade headland at the junction with Anchorsholme Lane West will still need to be completed in the new year.

While it is hoped that the road will be able to remain

open during this time, temporary traffic lights may be needed.

Cllr Fred Jackson, Blackpool Council’s Cabinet Member for Municipal Assets, said: “I’m delighted that we’re now at a stage where we can reopen the Promenade and Princes Way. “Dealing with the strong winds and heavy tides on the seafront makes all coastal defence works difficult and this has been no exception. However the end result will be a fantastic new promenade and better flood protection which will benefit everybody.

“Over £100m worth of investment is taking place in Anchorsholme at the moment with the sea defence scheme and United Utilities reconstruction of the park. I am extremely grateful to the neighbours and the local community for being so patient while the construction work continues and can guarantee them that the end result will be worth the disruption.”

Andy Shore, North West Coastal Engineer at the Environment Agency, said: “The Anchorsholme Coast Protection scheme has been a great success and a fantastic example of how key organisations can work together to deliver flood risk protection benefits for the community.

“The new defences will provide protection to around 4800 properties and associated infrastructure together with a new Promenade.”

LEFT: Catlow, BELOW: I Drink Therefore There’s Darkness BOTTOM: Eye The Bomb

A not so silent night As some of Blackpool’s finest musical acts once again take to the stage to reinterpret classic Christmas songs

B

ack for it’s ninth season following last years triumphant return after a two year break, ‘A Very Messy Christmas’ is not just an average local gig. Over 14 of the Fylde’s finest local acts will once again take to the stage in a single night, packed tighter than Santa’s sack, to smash out their own takes on Christmas classics as well as a couple of their own tunes.

The event started back in 2005 at the long since defunct South Shore music venue Riffs before moving to The Blue Room in Blackpool town centre after Riffs closure. However the curse of the ever evaporating Blackpool music venue struck once again with The Blue Room (Version 1) closing in 2013 (some may argue in part due to the bands polluting the atmosphere with terrible Christmas music) leaving ‘A Very Messy Christmas’ without a home.

The night faded into the annals of Blackpool music history never to be heard of again.

However the event, much like big screen adaptations of Spiderman and Keith Richards, AVMC refused to lay down and die and with the opening of the

Bootleg Social Club on Topping Street two years ago the organisers felt that ‘A Very Messy Christmas’ had once again found a home, last years event proved to be a massive success cementing the future of ‘A Very Messy Christmas’ as it enters it’s second year at it’s new home.

A Very Messy Christmas 9 will once again see the return of regular acts I Drink Therefore There’s Darkness, Eye The Bomb, Dü Pig, Uncle Paul, Kraul, The Drop-out Wives, Catlow and The Penwarden Super Showcase performing the finest Christmas covers available.

New acts to grace the festive stage this year are CSOD, Nana White Pepper, Random House, Elizabeth Preston and The Bootleg Social Club Band. There will be more line-up announcements on the facebook event page over the coming weeks.

A Very Messy Christmas 9 at Bootleg Social Club, Topping Street, Blackpool.
