Robert Pallant Brings Stylish German Bedrooms To The Fylde Coast Robert Pallant Designs have over 30 years experience in the design, supply and installation of bedrooms, kitchens and living spaces. Their refreshing approach is to ensure that each unique design is individually tailored to suit the client’s particular needs and budget, down to the very finest of details.

W

e take great pride in the fact that our reputation is built on a solid foundation of quality, innovation and service and we constantly strive to create visually stunning yet functional environments for each of our valued clients. We offer a very personal service, and really listen to the customer. I deal directly with the customer throughout the process and then hand over to my fitting team – the twins, who have worked with me since starting out 30 years ago.” – Robert remarks.

The new bedroom showroom (opened only last week) houses the latest trends in bedrooms. All of the bedrooms supplied by Robert Pallant Designs are made to order from top German manufacturer Nolte Delbrück, and offer superior quality, form and function.

Robert added: “Nolte Delbrück are one of the top German bedroom manufacturers, they are a fourth generation family run business with whom we have a great working relationship. All orders are tailored down to the very last detail. The collection includes bedrooms designs for all, from traditional through to contemporary styles, from solid built free-standing to fully-fitted units.

The perfect bedroom is complete with the inclusion of lighting, fabrics, curtains, blinds, cushions & more. Robert for many years has teamed up with local fabrics designer Susan Evans. Robert added “Susan came on board when we collaborated on The Raithewaite Hall Project in Whitby - 8 cottages with the Spa Hotel. We now use her for all our client’s bedrooms & kitchens. Susan offers an unbelievable choice of stunning fabrics and designs to compliment and complete your room with style.

Robert looks forward to welcoming existing and new clients to his showroom – your dream bedroom is waiting for you!

Blindingly Good Service

Steve Wear Blinds of Thornton is a father and daughter family business.

Between them they manufacture roller and vertical blinds and supply venetian, pleated and roman blinds. Steve has been in the blind industry for twenty years now, specialising in pleated blinds for Europe’s largest conservatory blind company, before opening his first shop in Kent.

After Kent he moved back to the North West where he was the founder of ‘Simply Blinds’ and ‘The Blind Company’ and is now working alongside his daughter Vanessa in Thornton. Steve says; ‘As a local manufacturer we like to think our customer service is paramount to our success along with our very competitive prices and massive fabric choice. It gives us the confidence to provide a quality product.’

He continued ‘Our showroom is a friendly place to come along and discuss your blind requirements and see for yourself how we manufacture from them from start to finish. I have loved this industry from day one and having my daughter Vanessa work alongside

me is the best thing to happen to both myself and the business, her knowledge and the way she is with customers is terrific and having grown up with blinds all of her life she realises the importance of attention to detail and service.’

He added: ‘I think the fact that we care is a crucial part of our business, plus we never take a deposit until your blinds are installed and the customer is happy. We always welcome any enquiry either by phone or to visit our showroom where a friendly and professional welcome awaits.’

Five Wyre parks among the best in Britain Green Flags are flying proudly at five of Wyre’s parks, as Keep Britain Tidy unveils this year’s recipients of their prestigious awards.

K

epple Lane in Garstang, Poulton’s Vicarage Park, Hawthorne Park in Thornton and the Wyre Estuary Country Park in Stanah are all on the list along with Fleetwood’s Memorial Park, which has received the award for the first time.

Green Flag Awards recognise and reward the best parks and green spaces across the country. A Green Flag flying overhead is a sign to the public that the space boasts the highest possible standards, is beautifully maintained and has excellent facilities.

Councillor David Henderson, Cabinet member with responsibility for parks at Wyre Council, said. “I’m absolutely delighted to receive five Green Flag Awards and official recognition that our parks are among the best in the country.

ANDREWS ELECTRICAL For all electrical work

“We take great care of our green spaces in Wyre because we know how important they are to communities. It’s particularly great news that Memorial Park has earned a flag at the first time of applying, following comprehensive restoration work funded by the Heritage and Big Lottery Funds.

“I’d like to thank our parks and open spaces staff and all the volunteers, fundraisers and Friends groups for their invaluable help looking after them.”

Diary of a local Councillor Paul Galley is a Councillor for Anchorsholme in Blackpool and each month he writes a weekly diary of what he has been up to

S

aturday: Had a wonderful morning with our gardening club in Eastpines Park, we weeded and watered the new flower garden we have built and it’s really becoming something of a local landmark. I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has helped with the new garden and said hello and given us plenty of encouragement. It’s meant so much to us and it is a real community project. I want to really develop our Gardening Group so it can help with all of our public gardens in Anchorsholme over the years to come. If you want to make some new friends please come alone it meets on the first Saturday of every month 10am to 1pm in Eastpines Park

S

unday: II went on a big weed walk, so I could plot where the weeds are and send the completed list over to the Council. We are aiming to get Community Payback down to remove them all. For those that don’t know I hate weeds with a passion so I am determined to get them removed.

come back. I will keep you posted on progress and won’t rest until I’ve got it for us. Once I’ve got this junction sorted I will then move on to getting the rest of our roads resurfaced.

W

ednesday: I called the bingo this morning and it was great to see all my pals, if you want to make some new friends please do come along, it’s on every Wednesday between 10.20am and 11.40am. It’s a great laugh and this month it’s been four years since I started calling, it’s been great fun. In the afternoon I dealt with some complaints I picked up re Blackpool Transport. For those that aren’t aware I’m a Director of Blackpool Transport so if you have any ideas that could improve the service let me know by emailing me on paul.galley@blackpool.gov.uk or ring me on 01253 826679 I won’t promise they will happen but if they are good I’ll definitely raise them at the board meeting.

T

hursday:I had a really good meeting with the team from Tea Time Golf on Fleetwood Road who have generously agreed to start golf coaching in Eastpines Park. My vision for the Park is that it becomes a ladder for all children who want to play sport to go on to join local sports clubs. I used to coach cricket in Zimbabwe and we had a similar model for coaching in the townships and it worked really well as a way of getting young talent in to organised sport.

It’s a massive step forward as it gives us two sports now in the Park and I’ll let you know about the golf onday: Had a lovely day, worked on my coaching as soon as all the details are confirmed. recruitment business during the day and in the evening we had the official opening of our riday: Met up with the team who are building the New Public Garden in Eastpines Park, it was a brilliant new water storage tanks for United Utilities in do and was opened by Mr Peter Anthony the chairman Anchorsholme Park to get an update on the work of Queensdeans the organisation which gave us some of the money to build the Garden. We are now working and it’s progressing well. If anyone wants to have a on our next three phases of regeneration in the Park look at the aerial shots of the work pop in to the office at the end of Anchorsholme Lane West (you will see including new sports area and children’s play area. a white door in the green fence). I’ll keep you posted uesday: plan, in the morning I met up with Cllr with this huge project over the years to come as it’s Tony Williams my friend and other councillor for essential we get this right if we do it will give us clean Anchorsholme and we discussed plans on how beaches and a great new Anchorsholme Park by 2020. we can get a junction built at the junction where North Drive meets Anchorsholme Lane East. It’s early days yet but it’s a crucial part of our Anchorsholme 2020 plan on what we want Anchorsholme to look like by the year 2020. My view is if we can get this junction in place it will allow people to get really easily from one Many thanks part of Anchorsholme to the other be they on foot or Paul Galley in a car. At the moment the Zebra crossing option is Cllr for Anchorsholme the favourite but we are just waiting on the costings to In the afternoon I went down on the beach and looked at the new promenade. Work is well underway now and I felt so proud to see it moving on at a rapid pace.

It represents four years hard work and if all goes to plan will be opened in March 2016 next year. I should have some very exciting news in next months diary about the new Parking plans that we plan to have in place ready for when the prom opens. If all goes to plan everyone in Anchorsholme should like them.
