It’s fair to say that rail services from Neston are rather limited - unless you want to go to Shotton or Bidston, you’re stuck. At least waiting at Neston Railway Station isn’t so bad, thanks to the work of local volunteers and the town council. Now, their work has been recognised in the Best Kept Station Awards. In this edition we have news from Neston, Bishop Wilson and Woodfall Primary Schools, Christian Aid, crimefile, theatre for the over 50s, the homeless cats, the what’s on guide, business directory and much more.

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.

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.

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!”

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,

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. 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?

History brought to life at Woodfall The pupils in Year 2 at Woodfall Primary School enjoyed a Living History Day recently. There were some amazing outfits including a Suffragette, Charlie Chaplin, Julius Caesar and Cleopatra. As part of the day the children took part in numerous activities including an archaeological dig and examined artefacts. They each gave a presentation to the rest of Y2 about who they were dressed as. Even the Year 2 staff took part in dressing up.

Pupils fly the flag in Antarctica A number of flags designed for ‘Antarctica Day’ by the pupils at Neston Primary School are now on display at the post office at Port Lockroy, Antarctica. The flags were created as part of the school’s Polar Explorer Programme and were inspired by the co-operation shown by the countries who work together to protect and explore Antarctica. “When visitors to Port Lockroy post their letters and postcards, they will see the Neston pupils’ impressive artwork,” said Sammie Buzzard of the British Antarctic Survey. School science Leader Gill O’Hara said: “It is fantastic that the flags we produced have travelled over 8775 miles, from Neston to Antarctica. It’s just a shame that we can’t organise a school trip to see the flags in situ!”

Paralympian inspires Burton pupils Bishop Wilson CE Primary School in Burton were very excited to welcome GB Paralympic Footballer Roy Turnham to school. Roy made his Paralympic debut in London 2012 and was part of the team that finished 7th place. He led a sponsored fitness circuit with all the children and followed with a talk and question and answer session. The aim of the afternoon was to inspire the pupils to take up sport generally and to encourage them to discover and pursue their passion in life.

GARDENING BY JANET HEATH

March highlights By March, spring will be here, the bulbs will be out, some trees and shrubs will be growing and we will hope that there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a cold snap to damage new growth.

Pale yellow Primroses and Primulas in multi-colours will continue to flower in sheltered spots, along with some blue violets. I expect that blue Forget me Not will be starting to come out too and en-masse they make such a cheerful show. No need to sow seed, just let the plants set seed, shake them around and next year you will get a wonderful show. Another perennial that is good for early spring, will grow in dry light shade and has evergreen foliage, is the Epimedium x versicolour Sulphureum. With heart shaped leaves that turn bronze in winter it will bring forth stems with pale yellow flowers in spring. You can cut off the leaves to see the flowers as they form or leave the leaves on and hope the sprays pop up above the leaves. Continuing the yellow theme, the vibrant yellow flowers of Forsythia will be everywhere on the streets. These easy shrubs will form large twiggy plants with yellow flowers clustered on the leafless stems. You can grow as a hedge covered in yellow blooms before the leaves come out. Cut back just after flowering, to keep them within bounds. Another March flowering shrub is the evergreen Mahonia aquifolium Apollo. This is an unassuming low growing evergreen shrub (to 1m) often grown in shade to cover the ground and usually looking a bit tired as it is ignored. However, try feeding it in spring and you should be rewarded with clusters of yellow flowers. The photo is of a swathe of these shrubs grown as ground cover under taller trees and the scent from the flowers was quite superb. Work to do in the garden includes cutting back dead foliage from perennials, trimming the winter flowering heathers to encourage fresh new growth for next year and completing the pruning of roses. If you grow Cornus or Dogwood for the red or yellow stems, cut them back hard every two or three years to about 30cms tall and give them a good feed of general purpose fertilizer such as Growmore. Feed all trees, shrubs especially roses and perennials with Growmore or a specific Rose Fertilizer to give the plants a good start to the year. Weigh out the recommended dose as I find I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t apply enough!

Your Local Personal Conveyancing Service Sophie Teague explains the role of conveyancing At Campion Solicitors we understand that moving home can be a very stressful and confusing process. We offer a tailored service with an efficient approach, to guarantee a friendly and personal experience, something sadly lacking from many large law firms today. We are always here to listen to your concerns and provide progress updates. We welcome you to phone us any time and offer appointments at our office in the centre of Heswall, should you need us. Myself, Sophie Teague and Rachel Collier form our dedicated conveyancing team, which maintains traditional values, so you can be sure to speak to the person dealing directly with your transaction. Conveyancers are not just here for when you are moving home, you may need us if you are remortgaging, transferring ownership to a family member or going to auction and require a precontract report preparing. It is also worth ensuring your property is registered at Land Registry, it holds many benefits for you and members of your family. Registered property is protected by a statebacked guarantee, giving greater security of title and greater protection against the possibility of

losing title by adverse possession. Registration gives you the certainty we all need and makes the conveyancing process simpler for the future. If you, your bank or building society still holds your original title deeds there is a possibility your property is unregistered. At Campion Solicitors we can run a free check for you and if your property is not registered we will register it for you at a fixed fee. Why should you choose Campion Solicitors? We offer a friendly and personable service whilst providing professional legal advice Unlike larger â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;faceless firmsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; you will be assigned a case handler and with assistance of support staff, you will be able to contact us for updates via email or phone. We believe this offers clients consistency and assurance. We have received continuous positive feedback from Clients expressing they have been extremely satisfied with our service, none have rated our service unsatisfactory to date. We are the only Solicitors within Heswall to offer free on-site parking Card facilities are available Modern office in the centre of Heswall We can deal with conveyancing transactions countrywide If you feel you would benefit from our personal conveyancing experience, call the team on 0151 342 9021 for a free no obligation quotation.

Christian Aid group get their walking boots on! Neston and District Christian Aid Committee are looking forward to another busy fundraising year. The first event will be the traditional sponsored walk on Saturday 17th March. The walk leaves the United Reformed Church Hall, on Moorside Lane, at 9am. Walkers go along the Wirral Way, and across the golf course to Gayton, where refreshments are served. They return along the edge of the Dee marshes to the old baths, Parkgate, then back along the Wirral Way. At the URC hall, home-made soup and bread are served. Sponsorship forms can be got from the Christian Aid representatives of local churches, or from Lynne Vaughan, 0151 336 8920. The committee has just looked back on 2017 with pride. To celebrate 60 years of Christian Aid Week, Christian Aid presented Diamond Awards to people who had made outstanding contributions. Local organiser Lynne Vaughan was recognised for all the work she has done in Liverpool, Ellesmere Port, and Neston since 1958. A posthumous award was given for Ken Hulme, who

34 To advertise call 01244 350398

worked for Christian Aid for many years, and initiated the sponsored walk. Lynne’s award was presented at the Christian Aid Week service at Christ Church, Willaston. Ken’s award was presented to his widow Barbara in Cornwall, where she now lives. Last year’s sponsored walk raised over £1,700. The house-to-house collection in Christian Aid Week in May raised over £6,000, and collections at Gordale added over £450. In July, Linda Jones of Dovecote Nurseries, Burton, organised afternoon tea in her garden, and raised over £1,000. For the Christmas Appeal in December, local volunteers collected over £470 at Gordale, and volunteer bag-packers and collectors raised over £1000 at Sainsbury’s. All of this will be doubled by Government. Lynne Vaughan said: “All of this money will go to help mothers feed and educate their children, to give the next generation a better start in life.” Some of the walkers setting out on the sponsored walk.

Neston enters best kept village competition Neston Civic Society is again entering Neston & Little Neston in the Cheshire Community Pride competition, in conjunction with Neston Town Council. In 2008 Neston & Little Neston was Best Kept Village in its category, and the plaque is displayed on the Bushell Fountain at Neston Cross. On 2nd and 3rd March at 2pm the society is organising litterpicking parties, as part of the Great British Spring Clean. The next meeting of Neston Civic Society will be at 7.30pm on Thursday 15th March at the United Reformed Church Hall, Moorside Lane, Neston, when Joan Bartholomew will give a talk entitled ‘Burton Manor and Henry Neville Gladstone’. Henry Neville Gladstone, son of the Prime Minister, bought Burton Manor from the Congreve family in 1903, and enlarged and remodelled it. The Gladstone family sold the manor in 1924 and in 1948 it became a college. It closed in 2011. The current owners, Liverpool City Council, have offered the Manor for sale for many years. A local developer is interested in converting it into offices. Visitors and new members are welcome. Complimentary tea, coffee and biscuits will be served. Contact: Janet Griffiths 0151 336 5478, email janet.griffiths.ncs@googlemail.com

Women’s Prayer Day Women’s World Day of Prayer will be marked with two services in Burton and Neston on Friday 2nd March. Women (and men) are welcome to join in at 2pm at Burton Parish Church and 7:30pm at Neston Methodist Church. For further information, please visit the WWDP website: www.wwdp.org.uk

Town council asks for extra cash Council tax payers will have to contribute more to the cost of running Neston Town Council. Although the town council only accounts for a small proportion of the council tax bill, this year it is rising by 3.9 per cent. This will be added to the Cheshire West and Cheshire Council budget, along with the costs of policing a fire. A Neston Town Council spokeswoman said: “Following three years of maintaining the charge for Band D properties at the same amount and working to reduce costs, the Council has looked carefully at the budget expenditure for 2018/19 against income. The imminent loss of the Council Tax Reduction grant, which has been received since 2013, combined with rising costs of goods and services has led the Council review its policy. “In order to maintain the services it currently offers the council agreed that it needed to increase the precept request this year. At the same time it will continue to work to reduce costs.” The council will formally request to Cheshire West and Chester Council a net precept of £223,530 for its budgeting requirements for the year 2018/19. The rate for homeowners will increase by 3.9%.
