and use all the space in your home
We would all like more space in our homes and with houses in the UK getting smaller, space is at a premium. But what if there was an affordable way to create more space in our homes? A simple solution for all those people fed up of living among clutter and one that doesn’t require planning permission or any major structural building work. For most, the loft is a dark and dingy place visited seasonally; once to dig out the Christmas decorations and then again to bring down the holiday suitcases. A precarious scramble across dusty beams, torch in hand; grabbing what’s needed then clambering back past boxes filled with long-forgotten belongings. But that dark and dingy place is worth thousands. In fact, it takes up a third of
the floor space in an average home. So shouldn’t you be making the most of it? And that’s where More Than Loft Ladders (MTLL) comes in. Founded in Bolton over five years ago, MTLL specialises in generating space by making the loft easily accessible. And that’s all it does. It’s not a generic building company, and it’s not jack-of-all-trades. MTLL only installs loft hatches, ladders, boarding, lighting and insulation. It’s what the company does all day, every day, using qualified local installers who are reliable, tidy and efficient. The latest MTLL franchisee to open covers Crewe and Chester and is run by skilled tradesman, Adam Shepherd...“Our average job is about

Here’s a great way to make more storage space...
£290 and only takes a few hours to complete,” says Adam. “And for that, customers get a modern two section aluminium ladder 50sq ft of boarding and a light to make the space safe and secure.” The price customers are quoted is the price they will pay, with no additional call out or credit card charges. “More Than Loft Ladders is already a trusted name in the north west with over 2,500 successful installations, and I really wanted to bring it here to Cheshire...It’s such a great and cost effective way for people to gain the extra space they need,” added Adam.

Celebrations ahead! In a few weeks we will have been here at our “new” office for two years. I don’t think we can really call the office “new” any more! We are very settled here and I am pleased to offer such comfortable and pleasant premises for our staff and clients, not forgetting the free parking for clients which is a bonus in Heswall.... I am very proud of the renovations we carried out to the building and do believe we have enhanced the local area and have created a prominent and attractive building. It is actually almost seven years since I set up Campion Solicitors and with the hard work, attention to client satisfaction and efficiency of all our staff we have formed great relationships with our clients and consistently being recommended by them. Myself and the team are looking forward to many more successful years ahead.

Anger over plans to build on Thornton Hough greenbelt The Greenbelt at Thornton Hough could be eaten up by new developments. People living in the picturesque village are worried about plans to create a farm shop on agricultural land at Brimstage and a care village on the outskirts of Thornton Hough will spell doom for the green fields. Thornton Hough Community Trust Limited, the accredited conservation body for the Thornton Hough Parish is appealing for help to save the Greenbelt land from the developers In Thornton Hough and the wider borough of Wirral. A spokesman for the trust said: “Our village and surrounding area is now at risk from the very people who made it the beautiful and unique place it is today.” There is an active planning application to encroach into the Greenbelt land at Brimstage, redeveloping agricultural buildings at the Brimstage Hall site making it into a much larger and more commercially focused outlet and adding a massive retail floor space in the form of a farm shop, creating car and coach parks, and developing a new access road (Car parks and access road will be located on Greenbelt). Leverhulme Estates, working in conjunction with English Care Villages, is proposing to build a “continuing care community” on Hill Top Farm and adjoining field at gateway to Thornton Hough.
It would include 24 close care apartments, a 48-bed care home arranged in “family groups” of 12 and 96 assisted living apartments. It would also have a village square with a restaurant, café-bar and shop, library, beauty salon and wellness centre, with a pool, spa and gym. The trust believes that, if approved, this would increase the population of the village by a third and potentially drastically raise the age profile. The trust says: “These are just two projects potentially threatening Greenbelt land in Clatterbridge Ward alone, all trying to erode Wirral’s heritage. None of these must be allowed to succeed.” Keith Cockell, chairman of Gloucestershirebased developer English Care Villages, told the Liverpool Echo: “The people who say it will have more over 65s have missed the point – the reason why we want to build it there is they are already there. “Fundamentally we offer a much better alternative to care homes. The problem that exists in Wirral is that it has an ageing population, which is greater than the national average. “People can live in their own home while having the care they need.” If you wish to find out more, follow the trust on Twitter, sign the petition at http://tiny.cc/qbo1jy or object directly to Wirral Council.

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.
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.”
Repair & Servicing
The first phase of the expansion to their upstairs showroom has begun with renovations to incorporate fully functional bathrooms settings including 10 operational showers and 12 working basins and taps all with the latest digital technology. Added to this under floor heating and a working sauna so clients can really ‘soak up’ the full Wirral Wetrooms offering.

Duo run miles for Maggie’s TWO Heswall women are reflecting on an amazing experience running the London Marathon. Bev Faulkner and Faridah Brooker enjoyed it so much that they’ve put their names in the ballot for 2018! The duo are hoping to raise £7,000 for Maggie’s cancer support centre at Clatterbridge. Their friend Caroline was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2016, and while having her treatment at Clatterbridge, discovered Maggies. It is a cancer support centre, run entirely on donations, which you can just pop into for a cup of tea and a chat, or you can have a one to one with a trained counsellor. It is there to offer support, which is exactly what Caroline has received. They both finished in a time of 5 hrs 23 mins which they were pleased with. Faridah said: “It was very hard but the crowds were amazing and they certainly help you get round. “We haven’t finished fundraising yet but hopefully we will be on target to raise £7,000.” Donations are still welcome on the Just Giving page, with proceeds going to Maggies, which is run entirely on donations. Faridah, who is 46, and a sales assistant in M&Co, Heswall, and Bev, 48, a litigation executive, have been busy raising funds for the cause. Bev’s daughter Poppy had her hair cut before Christmas, which raised £1,000 and they had a belly dancing class in February with a raffle.

Plaudits keep coming for Heswall care home A care home in Heswall has been named in the Top 20 recommended care homes in the North West for 2017 by a leading UK care home website. The Hazelwell is the only care home in the area to be awarded this status by carehome.co.uk based on postal cards and website submissions completed by either residents or family members. The venue, on Oldfield Road, which only opened less than a year ago, has a 9.9 score with reviewers praising it as ‘excellent’ and ‘extremely likely’ to recommend the care home. This month, a family member submitted a review saying: “I cannot praise The Hazelwell highly enough. Everything about it is truly exceptional - the location, the quality of the building and furnishings/decor (in bedrooms and public rooms), the facilities, the cleanliness, the food and most importantly the staff. Since his move from another care home, my dad is so much happier. Dad needs a high level of care and support but absolutely nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff. Dad is treated with dignity and such kindness - he says he feels like he is being thoroughly spoilt each and every day! I would recommend anyone looking for truly exceptional care for a loved one to visit The Hazelwell to see this very special place for themselves.” A daughter, whose mother stayed at The Hazelwell for respite care, wrote: “Fabulous care and attention given to my 81-year-old mum after a stay in hospital. The staff were very attentive and friendly and my mum loved staying there. The accommodation was excellent no complaints about anything.” Another added: “The Hazelwell is wonderful. It is everything I hoped from a care home which didn’t think I would ever find. Staff went out of their way to make my mother’s stay as pleasant as possible. The surroundings were wonderful.” The Hazelwell care home manager Liza Millington said: “We are naturally very pleased to be ranked in the top 20 recommended care homes out of 125 care homes which are listed on carehome.co.uk for the Wirral. “We have only been open since June and all the staff have worked very hard so this is a fabulous endorsement for everybody at The Hazelwell.”

GARDENING BY JANET HEATH
FLORIFEROUS JUNE June is such a lovely month for flowers with the foliage still fresh and so many flowering perennials and shrubs to choose from. Tradescantia Andersoniana varieties are hardy perennials with white, deep pink or violet mauve iris like flowers in June. They have grass like leaves, about 50cm tall and will form a clump in moisture retentive soils. Osteospermum Cannington Roy and Whirligig are prostrate African Daisies which flower in early June (see photo) with pink or white flowers. In theory they like a well drained soil and full sun. However I have clients with heavier soils where the plants thrive and spread, forming a weed suppressing mat of low growing foliage. Or try and find Thalictrum aquilegiifolium or Meadow Rue, a tall growing perennial to about 1m, with fluffy heads of mauve or pink flowers for moisture retentive soil in sun or light shade. Shrubs for June flowers include the ever reliable Spireas. These lower growing shrubs have green, yellow or orange flushed foliage depending on the variety, with white or pink flowers in June. The variety pictured is Golden Princess with vivid magenta pink flowers on golden foliage. When they get too large, cut them back hard in winter and they will rejuvenate in spring. They do best Janet Heath Garden Mentor
in a sunny spot but are very hardy. For those with well drained soil and sun, there are many varieties of Cistus or Rock Rose ranging from small shrubs about 75cm tall to larger ones getting to 2m tall. Generally evergreen they have large flowers in white or pink but all like sunshine. Jobs to do in June include planting out of French bean seedlings, succession sowing of salad crops like radishes or lettuces and plant out leeks individually towards the end of the month to grow on for winter. You can also take softwood cutting of shrubs such as Sambucus, Fuschias and Spireas to grow on into new shrubs. If you would like to visit gardens look out for gardens open under the National Gardens Scheme where all proceeds go to charities including Marie Cure Cancer Care and Macmillan Cancer Support. Burton Village gardens on the Wirral are open on 25th June with four gardens open Briarfield, Burton Manor Walled garden, Lynwood and new for this year, Trustwood garden. Something for everyone! 150 Barrel Well Hill, Broughton, Chester is open on 24th and 25th June. Arrive at this riverside garden on the Dee by river cruiser then enjoy the terraces with sun loving plants and a lovely stream garden.

Memories of Neston High School Former students and staff are invited to share their memories of Neston High School at a special event in July. The existing building is being demolished in September with the school moving ‘up the road’ to brand new, modern premises. The school is planning an end of an era event and would like to contact as many former students and staff as possible. It will be held on Saturday 8th July between 10am and 2pm. There will be lots to do and see, so please come along and share your memories of the school. Current and former staff and students are all invited along with anyone who has an association with the school. There will be a barbeque, snacks and drinks, music, and a huge display of photos and arte-facts from the archives, in Stewart Hall. You will be able to purchase memorabilia or even order a hoodie. There will be a booth where you can record your memories of the school, and a rolling presen-tation on ‘Neston High through the Years’ along with students who will be interviewing people to cap-ture their memories. These will all be compiled into a book which will be on sale from September. You will also be able to tour the building and take some photos. If you have any old photos of the school that can be added to the display, do bring them along or send them in advance (copies only, as they can’t be returned). You can email them to memories@nestonhigh.com or post to the normal school address. The school just needs to know what decade they belong to, so they can be added to the correct display. Tickets are available by visiting https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/end-of-an-eratickets-34479146054

BOOKS with LINGHAM’S BOOKSTORE, HESWALL
PAPERBACK FIGHTERS BOOKS v E-BOOKS Well I hope you managed to see Linghams on BBC National Morning News (27 April) I cannot tell you how excited we were! The breaking news is that e-book sales were down by 17%. We spend so much of our day light hours now looking at computers, tablets and phones by the evening we reach a definite technological saturation point. It seems that the lure of the e-book has waned, with people opting to relax by reading a book with actual pages thus getting that delightful sense of wellbeing that only comes with a real book and tea from a china teacup! Books are very eco-friendly once you have finished you can keep it forever, give it to someone to read, re-stock the shelves of a charity shop, build shelves or tables (yes, I have done that), even create works of art (done that too!) I know I maybe slightly biased but BOOKS RULE! Events this month… June 6th Ed Docx (Let Go My Hand), June 7th Chris Boardman, June 12th Clare Mackintosh (I Let You Go) June 13th Mark Billingham and Chris Brookmyer (Crime authors), June 27th Sharon Bolton (Dead Woman Walking). For more information and tickets call us on 0151 342 7290

Nell Stevens – Bleaker House I usually review books I have read but this is an exception. Nell Stevens, on completing a masters in creative writing, is given the opportunity to spend three months in a location of her choosing to write her first novel. She chooses to go to Bleaker Island, part of the Falklands in the winter. With its official population of 2, it is a treeless wilderness. There is virtually no contact from the outside world, she takes with her one book Bleak House and one DVD Eat, Pray, Love. In her splendid isolation she wrote Bleaker House, memoir, travelogue and short story collection all rolled into one, cannot wait to read it! Greg Milner – Pinpoint I have a terrible sense of direction but unwavering belief that I know everything, so I am always arguing with my satnav! I seem to be having a theme going here about the evils of technology, don’t get me wrong I personally love high tech gadgets, computers etc but I hate how it is become our master and not our servant. Focussing on the way GPS is changing our lives but more importantly our brains. After reading about the phenomenon of Death by GPS I should definite use a map instead! Anthony Horowitz – Never Say Die Alex Rider (think James Bond for kids) makes a very welcome return after a three year break with this new book which picking up directly after Scorpia Rising finishes. Alex is desolate, but receives a clue that Jack Starbright could still be alive! As thrilling and as actionpacked as ever!
