She extended her majority to nearly 4,500 over the Conservatives’ John Bell, with David Scott taking third place for UKIP. She said: “Thanks all, and massive thanks to South Wirral constituents. Everyone (voting Labour or not) was so kind.” Alison McGovern (Lab) 20,165 John Bell (Con) 15,566 David Scott (UKIP) 3,737 Elizabeth Jewkes (LD) 1,474 Paul Cartlidge (Green) 895 l Elsewhere, in the local elections, Labour retained control of Wirral Council, slightly extending its majority by taking a seat of the Liberal Democrats.

Cloudy2Clear Windows – Service With A Smile!

It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services. Managing Director Alan Ball feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving

people money, although that obviously helps. Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. We make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’ Cloudy2Clear service Heswall & the surrounding area and

Alan is finding that his approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family

of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated.’ So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Alan a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

Q I’m really interested in buying a Geberit toilet with a spray function, but I have heard they’re very expensive. Are there any more affordable alternatives?

Dave commented “We recognised Irby as a great place to stay and grow in, we like the space we are in. We’ve taken on 2 apprentices and making this significant investment into the building can only improve it.”

Q Should I be concerned about how much water is used in spray-function toilets? A The Geberit AquaClean 4000 only uses 400ml of water at each use, and although this is more than a normal loo, there are positive environmental aspects to this choice, such as using less toilet paper. Water, chemicals and other raw materials are wasted in the production of toilet paper, and while it’s biodegradable, the process still leaves chemical traces in our water supply.

Heswall through the ages A new book has been published which gives a pictorial view of Heswall through the ages. ‘Heswall Through Time’ has been written by local historians Jenny McRonald and Roger Lane. First recorded in the Domesday Book in 1086, the townships of Heswall and Gayton grew rapidly from the late 1800s onwards as new railway and omnibus routes provided easy commuting links to Liverpool, and wealthy merchants chose to build grand mansions here. Hospitals and children’s institutions were established to benefit from the fresh sea air, well removed from the increasing pollution of Liverpool.

Using a selection of old and new photographs, local historians Jenny McRonald and Roger Lane capture images of many historical buildings that are now long lost, and show how Heswall has grown from a small village into the thriving community we know today. They reveal how fascinating glimpses of the past can still be seen among the more modern developments. This book is essential reading for all those who know and love Heswall. l Jenny has always had an interest in the history of Heswall, where she has been a lifelong resident, and she taught local history studies in Heswall Primary School where she was a teacher for 37 years. She has written a history of the school up to the time it moved from its site on the Puddydale in 1982. She was Chairman of the Heswall Society 1996–2000. l Roger developed a passionate interest in the local history of Heswall while researching the history of his house and its previous occupants. Trained as a PhD chemist, he enjoys applying his research skills in this completely different field of study. He leads the Local History Group of the Heswall Society. Jenny and Roger have written over 25 articles covering all aspects of the history of Heswall and have given many talks on the subject. Roger is an avid collector of old photographs and paintings of Heswall and uses these to illustrate his articles and talks.
