Teen banned from Neston A teenager who made the lives of people living and working in Neston a misery has been given a two and a half-year ban from the town. The 16-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, had been committing a string of violent offences since 2014, including affray and attempted robbery. At Chester Crown Court he was issued with the Criminal Behaviour Order, which prevents him from entering Neston for two-and-a-half years and an estate in the Wirral. He is also prohibited from associating with a number of named people or attending school or organised events held by Wirral Borough Council, Merseyside Police or other professional bodies. PC Graeme Morrison, of Ellesmere Port’s Beat Management Team, said: “This action has come about as a result of persistent offending which was causing distress to residents of Neston by this particular individual. I hope this sends a strong message that we will not tolerate this kind of behaviour in our towns, and continue to work closely with our partners to take robust action against those who persistently cause a misery to those who visit, work or live in Neston.” The successful application for the Criminal Behaviour Order was part of an ongoing joint initiative between Cheshire and Merseyside Police.

Help inspire others to lose weight Slimming World members in Mid Wirral are celebrating a successful start to the year after helping 1000 people lose a total of 950 stone. Danielle who manages a team of 6 consultants who run 13 groups in the Mid Wirral team including Heswall and Neston, says: “We are going through a period of steady growth. In 48 years millions of people have changed their lives with Slimming World’s brilliant combination of a hunger-busting plan, increased activity and weekly group support.” “Now, with obesity at an all-time high - two out of three adults in the UK are overweight or obese and government predictions say that 80% of men and 70% of woman will be overweight or obese in the next decade - the demand for our unique and warm approach has never been greater.” Slimming World is looking for people who have lost weight themselves with the organisation, people who can share their own weight loss success to build a fabulous career. There are also vacancies for experienced managers to help co-ordinate the work in the area and ensure our unique support is available in every community. Danielle adds: “Every Slimming World group helps members achieve long term success through healthy lifestyle changes. Slimming World consultants are all members or former members. The role is part time with the potential to earn £100-£400 a week for working 10-20 flexible hours as a self employed franchisee.

Nature reserve fire damaged wildlife

A FIRE on the Dee Estuary nature reserve has had an impact on wildlife and nesting birds. That’s the view of the RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds) site manager Colin Wells after a section of the reserve was damaged by fire recently. Mr Wells said: “This is a stark reminder of how vulnerable the reedbed and its surrounds are at this time of year. The last few weeks have been relatively fine and combined with periods of strong winds, the conditions on the marsh have become brittle and dry, which meant the fire would have started easily. “We have a team of volunteers who warden the area in the evenings to try and discourage people from starting fires, which has successfully prevented any for a few years. It was the fast action of one of these volunteers on Saturday evening to promptly raise the alarm and allow the fire to be extinguished quickly before too much damage was done.” 10 To advertise call 01244 350398

The RSPB are concerned about the damaging impact the blaze may have had on local wildlife living in the affected site, particularly harvest mice and nesting birds. Colin added: “The harvest mice have lost their habitat and many of them may have been injured or killed. The area is an important breeding ground for birds such as reed buntings and water rails. They have lost their nesting areas. It’s devastating as we work so hard to create and maintain this site for wildlife and people to enjoy. “We would benefit from having more volunteer wardens to help keep an eye on the reedbed area in spring, so if any local residents are keen to help protect this special wildlife habitat, get in touch with us.” Police are treating the fire as a potential arson case. To enquire about the volunteer warden opportunity, email deeestuary@rspb.org.uk or telephone 0151 336 4932. For more information on the reserve and its activities, visit rspb. org.uk/deeestuary

Putting offenders back on the right track Hadlow Road Station has been spruced up with the help of people on Community Service. The Community Payback Team (CPT) came along to help the Friends of Hadlow Road Station (FHRS) to carry out conservation work on the historic station. They helped to clean and rub down the wooden level crossing gates ready for painting as they are re-instated to their former glory in original white and with the addition of the missing red roundal. The CPT will return each weekend to see the job complete. Chris Hampshire, from the friends group, said: “The CPT provided some very good skills to repair the rotten timber so you wouldn’t even know it had been done.” Another larger repair to the level crossing gate on the West side is required as well as completing the painting of the level crossing gates over the coming weeks. Once the level crossing gates have been done the wooden fences around Hadlow Road Station will then be repaired and painted white over the next few months. Anyone wishing to help this conservation work should contact Chris (Chair of FHRS) on 0151 327 4511 or email c.c.hampshire@btinternet.com l The Friends group held a very successful Breakfast Brunch on 30th April which was very popular with over 150 people visiting the cafe on a lovely sunny morning. Further grants have been secured and other grant applications have been submitted which will be used to enhance the appearance of Hadlow Road Station while also conserving the station and the environment for future generations. The cafe will be open on 28th May; 11th June and 25th June, 10am-1pm. Please come and visit and you may even fmake a new friend to chat to. 12 To advertise call 01244 350398

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 artefacts 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 presentation on ‘Neston High through the Years’ along with students who will be interviewing people to capture 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.

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?

Bathroom

Well known and respected local bathroom and wetroom experts, Wirral Wetrooms have announced a massive quarter of a million pound investment and expansion project. Pulling on their industry leading design skills and extensive experience, the team have planned a show-stopping new look that is set to revolutionise their Irby showroom.

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. Owner Dave Sergison commented, ‘Customers will literally be able to

get a live demo of all the must-have bathroom accessories. You can turn showers on, see how they perform on different settings and see for yourself how the valves and knobs work. There will be full audio visual equipment along with high-tech LED lighting throughout.’

And you can even spend-a penny by sampling the fabulous new Geberit Aquaclean! Finally, complete the picture by choosing from a selection of their stunning tiles and you really be able to create a ‘tried and tested’ space to be proud of. Heart of Irby Village Dave and the team have always supported the local community in Irby and the surrounding areas, and played a part in the life and soul of the village and love being there,

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.” “Our new showroom will be completely unique for the Wirral, and will revolutionise the experience of buying a new bathroom for our customers. We want nothing more than people to come in and try them out for themselves, even down to taking your shoes off and feel the under floor heating, you can even take a shower if you are game, we don’t mind!” And with service and quality and experience that is second to none, your will be sure to find your slice of Bathroom Bliss, right here in the heart of Irby.

A You don’t have to spend a vast amount of money to purchase a Geberit toilet. There are also less expensive models in the range such as the Geberit AquaClean 4000. This compact loo seat is designed to replace your existing loo seat and is straightforward to install, as it fits on the existing seat.

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.

individuals, by assessing your lifestyle and family commitments while providing a unique look. The prices are competitive and with excellent customer service, 100% customer satisfaction and with every aspect of your bathroom completed to the highest quality, what more could you want? Oh, and by the way customers receive a freshly made cup of their favourite coffee, latte, cappuccino or espresso when they visit the showroom! Wirral Wetrooms really do appreciate being part of their community and like to participate in helping with Friends of Irby Library. Their latest venture, I was informed, is a sponsored charity parachute jump, which seven of the team will be undertaking to raise money for the Catterbridge Cancer Charity.

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....

Fundraisers have their cake and eat it More than 120 people from Neston came together for a charity Butterfly Afternoon Tea to raise money for lifesaving cancer research. Organised by the Neston fundraising branch of North West Cancer Research the event held at the Neston Cricket Club raised £1,138 for the charity. Entertainment was provided by the talented Sarah Chidlow, soloist with the Birkenhead Operatic Society Trust, Tony Davies on keyboard and comedian Budge Grownsell. Pat Mann, Secretary of the Nestonbased fundraising committee said: “The Butterfly Afternoon Tea was a great success and we beat last year’s total by at least one hundred pounds, so we are delighted. Everyone enjoyed themselves, the food, the entertainment and just the general relaxed and cheerful atmosphere. “On behalf of everyone on the 28 To advertise call 01244 350398

committee I would like to thank Neston Cricket Club for allowing us to host the event, our fabulous entertainers and Eaton Bakery for providing the food, which was delicious. “Most importantly I’d like to thank all our supporters and everyone who came along and gave so generously to help us support North West Cancer Research. Cancer affects so many of us and it is only through research that we will be able to find new ways to treat it – which is why every penny we can raise is so important.” The next fundraising event from the Neston-based committee will be a Coffee Morning with arts and craft stalls, as well as a raffle and tombola on Wednesday 21st June from 10am – noon at the Neston Cricket Club, Parkgate. Entry is £3 on the door everyone will be made welcome.

The group won the Under 16s category trophy and the special Adjudicators Trophy for their production of ‘The Snow Dragons’ by Lizzie Nunnery.

Artistic Director Samantha Giblin said she is so proud of the effort of all of the young people to create a piece of theatre of such a high standard. As the highest scoring youth group InterACT will be put forward for the All England final in July.
