Pub demolished to make way for homes THE old Sandon Arms on Milner Road has been bulldozed to make way for housing. Plans were approved by Wirral Council in March to demolish the former pub and build 16 homes, including three terraced and two semi-detached at the front of the site with the others behind. The site had a somewhat chequered history in recent years with the pub changing hands, going from the Sandon Arms, the Slak and the Heswall Bar and Courtyard. The loss of one pub contrasts with a proposed extension at the Jug and Bottle, on Mount Avenue. This involves internal and external renovation of the existing building, with a new kitchen extension, entrance porch, outdoor seating area, children’s play area and landscaping.
Labour remain in charge after uneventful council election It was a case of ‘as you were’ on Wirral Council after Labour retained control of the borough. Locally, Kathy Hodson (pictured) comfortably held onto Heswall ward for the Conservatives while in the Pensby and Thingwall ward Labour’s Mike Sullivan somewhat surprisingly enjoyed a 700 vote win over the Conservatives following a feisty campaign. The make up of Wirral Council is as follows: Labour 39, Conservatives 21, Liberal Democrats 5 and the Green Party with one councillor.

Cloudy2Clear Windows – Service With A Smile!

ADVERTISEMENT
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!

LEGAL MATTERS Legal Column with Jackie Campion, Principal Solicitor at Campion Solicitors
Where there’s a Will
A
well used expression is ‘where there’s a will, there’s a way’. We would play on this to say where there’s a Will, there is a clear set of instructions and wishes you leave so that those you leave behind can deal with matters efficiently. Not so snappy we admit, but it raises the question of where is your Will? You may well know the answer to this question, but at the risk of being blunt, this is of little use. More important is that your family or Executors know where your Will is.
A recent example to illustrate the need for others to know the whereabouts of your Will: James was an only child and never married or had children. Popular and active in the local community, with a number of close friends but in his latter years illness befell him such that social services came to manage his financial affairs as a Deputy for the Court of Protection. The nature of his illness also meant he could not provide any information about his family. When the inevitable time came to deal with his estate, social services confirmed no Will or reference to one was found in James’ papers. Canvassing of local law firms produced no positive results and so the estate was dealt with as intestate, meaning no Will in place. This in turn meant commissioning genealogical research to identify, trace and contact the ‘blood’ relatives entitled under the laws of intestacy. Furthermore, the closest able relative had to be ‘recruited’ as Administrator, in place of an executor. Obviously all this adds both to the costs and duration of the estate administration. One of the relatives contacted had been close to James and had a recollection from years ago James had talked about making his Will but didn’t know any more.
A few months had passed, all entitled relatives had been traced, contacted and notified, the Administrator recruited, and the Probate Registry had issued ‘Letters of Administration’ which is the approval to administer the estate when there is no Will.
Distribution was planned when out of the blue an email was received from a small law firm some distance away. This solicitor had tried to contact James, and in the absence of a response made some basic online enquiries and came across the estate notice in the London Gazette. The Solicitor was planning on retiring and was contacting clients to ask where they want their Wills to be sent for safe storage… Whilst working away many years ago James had called in to a Solicitor offering a discounted Will service and had made a Will leaving his estate to the cousin mentioned above, a longstanding friend and a charity he favoured, and the cousin was the nominated executor. All the work in the estate to date was largely wasted, and very nearly the Administrator was at risk of acting illegally and liable to the beneficiaries named in the Will. So, if you have made a Will, make sure you have discussed it with your chosen executors, keep a copy in a safe place, and clearly record where the original is stored. If you have not made a Will, we would be pleased to hear from you.

We love our job helping ‘sad feet’ HL 120x90 SSF HP Advert OUTLINES.indd 1
17/10/2015 10:26
There are lots of reasons why people don’t have professional foot care. But Heswall’s ‘Sole Sisters’ Big Rach and Little Rach are here to dispel those myths! l Embarrassment – please, please, please don’t ever be embarrassed by your feet. We call them ‘sad feet’ and find they are usually attached to rather lovely people, and with a dose of compassion and expertise, they can be made happier. l Not sure what is involved? First we have a chat about any problems, take a close look at your feet then agree a plan of action. Hard skin/painful corns are removed. Nails are trimmed and filed. Thickened nails are reduced. Fungal nails (which are incredibly common) are identified and treated. Then the best bit – moisturising foot cream/massage to aid circulation to give the ‘walking on air’ sensation. Foot treatments can be so relaxing that some people fall asleep. A good job shouldn’t be rushed so visits can be up to an hour. Subsequent visits can be a half treatment i.e. just simple nail trimming.
l Inconvenience – travelling to a clinic involves time, traffic and parking. We come to your home. l Tickly feet – no problem, just tell us and we can use holding techniques to desensitise your feet. l Bit shy? Share your appointment with a family member or friend and enjoy a group discount. l Don’t want to talk too much? Listen to your favourite music – Classic FM is very popular. l I already have NHS foot care – we are Diabetic Footcare specialists able to supplement your routine 12 week NHS visit. We love our job, we love helping ‘sad feet’, we are Dementia Friends and we are here to help YOU. Best wishes from Big Rach and Little Rach

BOOKS with LINGHAM’S BOOKSTORE, HESWALL
By Kerry Keight
SUNNY JUNE
Incredibly we are almost half way through this year, makes me feel like yelling whoa can’t time stop for a while to let me catch up with everything I was planning to do. Obviously not, but now at least I am catching up with my reading. Hopefully the lovely sunshiny weather has appeared and thoughts will soon be what reading matter to take on our holidays? Becky is beavering away ordering stock for our annual Summer Reads collection, so there will be plenty of exciting new titles to tempt you! June is going to be a full on month with regards to author events so here we go, 16th June - Barney Norris, his new book Five Rivers Met on a Wooded Plain is a MUST read, a very emotional book that I am still thinking about now, 21st June – Chris Boardman, we will be holding a private function during the day tickets are going as fast as an Olympic winner! 23rd June – Anna McPartlin – Her new book will be showcased during her visit. (reviewed this month). July we have Tess Gerritsen and Jessie Burton (auther of The Miniaturist). We shall be opening on the 30th July at MIDNIGHT for the release of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child – VERY EXCITED! Cathy Cassidy – The Broken Heart Club An emotional page-turner which I devoured in three hours! Nothing will break apart the five members of the Heart Club. But when everyone moves in different directions can the Heart Club mend the cracks in their friendship? The all new must-read for any Cathy Cassidy fan! Reviewer - Sophia Campbell Anna McPartlin – Somewhere Inside of Happy Maisie is about to address an audience at the launch of her book about her son and what happened to him that fateful night. Without giving the plot away this is a beautifully written and very sad story, unfortunately love does not always conquer all, but it tries. Although it may not seem like it there is a lot of humour in this book and with great characters that makes this book essential reading. As a bonus we have Anna coming to Linghams on the 23rd June! Reviewer – Sue Porter (owner) Chris Cleave – Everyone Brave is Forgiven Though not directly about Chris Cleave’s grandparents this novel is loosely based on some of the experiences they had during WWII. The novel begins in London on the day war is declared and soon we are transported to war time Malta . It is an emotional book about the hardships of everyday Londoners, the upheaval of evacuation and of great interest to me the treatment of Black people during this time. Fascinating depiction of the Siege of Malta, still only in hardback but such a great read, well worth it! Reviewer – Kerry Keight (bookseller)
