ON THE BEAT with Police Community Support Officer Chris Fox
Guilty of stealing from a car A male was arrested and charged by Police with a theft from motor vehicle offence in October on Barony Way, Lache and put before the courts in November when a guilty plea was entered. The male received an eight weeks suspended sentence and a 12 weeks tagging order to be at his home address between the hours of 19.00 and 07.00. l On December 3rd between 12.00 and 13.00 at the Handbridge Police Surgery on the Old Dee Bridge Bridge Police are going to be offering the opportunity to get bikes marked and registered. This is another stage of Operation Shield and is a method of preventing and detecting bike thefts which is an issue that effects Chester residents. The marking and registering of bikes is free of charge and this event is a fantastic opportunity for Overleigh residents to get a new Crime Prevention technique installed on their bike. l As Christmas fast approaches please ensure that you are taking basic measure to prevent yourselves becoming the victim of crime. Please consider the following tips. • Many people like to visit friends and relatives or even go on a holiday to enjoy some winter sun, when leaving your home unattended always make sure to lock the doors and windows as a first port of call to ensure no one can gain easy access to the home. • Set your alarm and security • Close/Open the curtains and turn on lights regularly – This can be difficult but if you have a neighbour or family member you can trust they could quite easily do this at random times so a potential thief does not see an exact pattern to the houses lights and curtains opening/closing or being switched on and off. A timer can also control the lights. Crimes reported to police in this area recently include: Westminster Park – near Glan Aber Tennis Club – Fencing and netting around the Tennis Club in the park was set on fire, causing damage. Youths were seen running off. Selkirk Road, Curzon Park – Thieves smashed the rear patio doors to break into the house and steal numerous items. Please call 101 if you have any issues to report. Also my e mail address is Christopher.fox@cheshire.pnn.police.uk. Please remember if you have any issues the Police and the local councilors hold the following Surgeries on the first Saturday of every month: Chester Street, Saltney – 9am-10.15am Westminster Park Shops – 10.30am – 11.45am Handbridge – Dee Bridge - Opposite the Ship Inn – 12noon-1pm.

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 the Handbridge, Curzon Park, Westminster Park &
Hough Green areas 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!

The Diamond Jubilee Home, sweet home Ready for a bit of DIY over the festive season? Then why not try this recipe for a traditional gingerbread house. Ingredients l 200g butter l 200g caster sugar l 350g black treacle l 625g plain flour l 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda l 1 teaspoon salt l 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg l 1 tablespoon ground ginger l 300g icing sugar l 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar l 2 egg whites l 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Method Preparation time: 30 mins Cooking time: 15 mins Additional cooling & decorating time: 2 hrs 1. Preheat the oven to 190 C / Gas mark 5. 2. Melt butter in a large saucepan. Mix in sugar and treacle. Combine the flour, salt, bicarbonate of soda, nutmeg and ginger. Gradually stir into the pan, using your hands to work in the last bit until the dough is stiff. 3. On a floured surface, roll out dough evenly to 0.5cm (1/4”) thickness and cut out house shapes as desired. Place all house pieces onto greased baking trays. 4. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes. Cool for several minutes on the baking tray, then move to racks to finish cooling. 5. When the gingerbread has cooled completely, make the icing to glue the pieces of your house together. In a medium bowl, mix together icing sugar and cream of tartar. Add egg whites and vanilla. Beat on high speed until icing holds its shape. If necessary, add more icing sugar to thicken. Cover with a damp cloth to prevent drying while you work. 6. Construct your house using the icing to stick the pieces together and allow to dry. 7. Finally, decorate your new home in your own personal style – though we can guarantee that lots of chocolate buttons, smarties and a sprinkling of sparkly icing sugar look good on any home! Feel free to e-mail or post in pictures of your houses to us at: info@somervillesestateagents.co.uk or Somerville’s Estate Agents, 24a Charles Street, Hoole, Chester CH2 3AZ and we will display them on our Facebook page.

Westminster Park flies the flag of excellence once again Westminster Park has received the prestigious national Green Flag award for 2016/2017. The award is presented to public parks and green spaces throughout the country which meet demanding criteria for providing safe, welcoming and well maintained facilities. The park achieved its first award in 2010 and it has now been conferred for the fourth time. The park has been leased by the council from the Duke of Westminster since 1946 and the range of facilities has developed considerably over the years with the golf course, tennis courts, football and cricket pitches, bowling and croquet lawns, a BMX track, a multi-game hard surface sports area, an open air gymnasium, 400m and 1,000m jogging tracks as well as play facilities for children and young people, and a café. The park is managed by the council’s greenspaces and streetscene teams with active support from the Friends of Westminster Park who represent the dozen sports and recreation groups that are based in the park. Chairman of Friends of Westminster Park David Guyton said “We are all very grateful to the council for maintaining Westminster Park as one of the premier sporting and recreation facilities in the borough and it is immensely pleasing that we now have such a wide range of flourishing activities based in the park. It is also worth noting that the park hosted for the first time two international matches and a second national tournament in addition to all the other regular games and league matches undertaken by the various clubs in the park.” Holding this year’s Green Flag: David Guyton, chairman of the Friends of Westminster Park, Cllr Razia Daniels, Sue Britton, Secretary of the Friends of Westminster Park, and Cllr Neil Sullivan at the entrance to Westminster Park.

Treatment of nail fungus H
OW many of you have suffered for years with nail fungus and have tried numerous anti fungal nail paints that don’t work? Oral anti fungal drugs often have nasty side effects such as headache, nausea and diarrhoea. Onychomycosis or nail fungus can affect finger or toe nails. It is more common with age. But as the fungus is contagious, communal showers at the gym or swimming pools are particularly risky places to pick up fungus. People who suffer with athlete’s foot,
circulation problems or diabetes are prone to the fungus. Also those with sweaty feet are prone to the condition. The most common type of fungal nail infection is caused in most cases by athlete’s foot. It infects the skin under the end of the nail bed turning part of the nail white or yellow. Pieces of skin and debris build up under the nail eventually causing the nail to crumble or split. The nail also becomes thickened and can be painful. Another common white superficial nail fungus can be treated easily as it only affects the top layer of the nail, first forming white spots on the nail surface which eventually

covers the entire nail and the nail is covered with a crumbly, chalky powder. The good news is that at Hough Green Clinic our Ellipse Nordlys Nd:YAG treatment offers a reliable and effective treatment, without the risk of uncomfortable side effects.
DOES IT HURT? No. The treatment gives a feeling of gentle warmth while the laser is flashing.
And it doesn’t hurt. HOW DOES IT WORK? A series of flashes of infrared light is aimed across the whole nail, including the sides and under the tip of the nail. This heats up and destroys the fungus that is present. All nails on either the hand or feet are treated, even though the fungus may only be visible on a couple of toes or fingers. To ensure complete coverage the light passes over each nail 5 times vertically and horizontally. The whole treatment only takes 10 minutes.
HOW LONG BEFORE I NOTICE AN IMPROVEMENT? Toe and finger nails grow at a different rate. Toe nails grow more slowly, but the new growth will be fungus free and the diseased treated nail needs to be cut and trimmed away as it grows out. Jane Bryant, Advanced Skin Health Specialist, Hough Green Clinic Tel: 01244 680414.

Big traffic worries over Wrexham Road housing HORRENDOUS traffic problems are being stored up for the future if plans to build 1,300 homes off Wrexham Road are given the go-ahead. That’s the view of Westminster Park Residents’ Association (WPRA) chairman Pauline Brown, who believes the development will create serious headaches for people in the area. The consultation period expired in the middle of November and the WPRA was keen to give its views on the project to Cheshire West and Chester Council. Pauline (pictured) was concerned that local people are not aware of some of the worrying aspects which were not on the first plans shown to the public last year. “Top of the list is access from the housing estate onto Lache Lane which will inevitably lead to a rat run through the estate to and from the Wrexham Road,” she said. “There is no need for vehicle access at all from this estate to Lache Lane, as there are three access points from the estate onto Wrexham Road.” “Secondly, the traffic, which is already horrendous in the area at peak times, will reach gridlock unless improvements are made to the Chester road network. And this will not only affect travellers south of the Dee – it is likely to affect all parts of Chester. “As we know, if one part of our city gets snarled up, the knock-on effects are widespread. In the latest Local Plan (Part 2) there is yet again mention of the building of the Western Relief road, for which there now seems to be some political will to deliver. However, this should be built before the development of 1300 plus houses, not after it! “Thirdly, the proposed school on the site will not be opened until the seventh year of building at the earliest. This means that school places must be found for a minimum of 163 children before they get a school. In the meantime, places must be found for them in other local schools despite Google map showing busy the fact that some of them are full or morning traffic in south Chester. nearly a mile away. There is already talk of mobile classrooms.”

Drummer Jeff is rockin’ a STATUS Quo’s former drummer, Jeff Rich had all KS3 students at Queen’s Park High School getting ‘down, down deeper and down’ to his beats and rhythms during a percussion master class. During his hour and half session he invited students to try out a variety of percussion instruments whilst giving them an insight into the music industry. Students and staff then accompanied him in a rhythm based mini performance ending with a finale which enabled our student ‘drummers’ to play his own personal drum kit! Jeff said, “It’s all about inspiration; because a lot of these kids will never have been in front of a live musician before, especially drums, which are a very powerful instrument.” Jeff was Status Quo’s drummer from 1986 to 2000, but left to share his music skills with young people. Since then, he has taken his drum workshop to over 7,000 schools across the UK. Looking back on his own journey to music, Jeff said: “I never had anything like this at my school. I had to do it

’ all over the school the hard way, playing pots and pans in the kitchen. I took any weekend job, cleaning cars and stuff, to get money to buy a snare drum and gradually built the kit up.” He added: “I come from a really deprived area of London, my parents couldn’t afford for me to do it. But I went out and got into the music business. It’s all about determination. If you want to do it, go for it.” Lyndsay Watterson, headteacher, added: “It was a
pleasure to welcome Jeff to our school and to hear his story. His motivation behind running these workshops is not only to share his passion for music, but also to encourage students to pursue their dreams and push themselves to the next level - something which we regularly promote here within Queen’s Park High School. I am sure that all the students who attended the workshop will have been inspired by his evident enthusiasm and talent.”

Dukes Drive and St Mary’s community centre to get council cash The Dukes Drive and St Mary’s Church Community Centre are to receive monies from Cheshire West and Chester Council. The cash will come from the New Homes Bonus Community Funding for local communities. Local councillors in Handbridge ward, Cllrs Razia Daniels and Neil Sullivan have been working with local residents, community groups and local agencies to help identify key priorities in order to gain funding for the area. Over the past 12 months they have held a series of community meetings to discuss ideas and potential projects, articles featured in local publications and a number of ‘on the street’ discussions. As a result, the projects put forward for final council approval are: l Dukes Drive Outdoor Project - amount awarded: £8,648 - The project includes the creation of a community sensory garden for all local people to enjoy. l St Mary’s Church Community Centre – amount awarded: £30,000 - The project involves the construction of a new Community Centre for Handbridge, serving all of the community. The councillors said: “Throughout the process, we have tried to ensure that all local groups and residents have been involved. However, if you would like to discuss any of the above in more detail, please feel free to contact us. It is also important to note that all bids that have been submitted thus far have been carefully considered. Where New Homes Bonus Community Funding has not been awarded, alternative funding such as the use of Member Budgets has been sought, where possible.”

K HIGH SCHOOL The Diamond Jubilee
Maths matters for animation Visitors from IntoFilm and The Big Bang North West came to QPHS to give a show on how visual effects are linked to STEM ((science, technology, engineering, and maths). The school won this opportunity due to the work with STEM club looking at animal behaviour through the investigation of how snails react to different environments. The year 10 students were able to see the most up-to-date technology used in the production of movies and computer games and even witnessed the creation of a computer-generate zombie from scratch. The team talked to the students about how STEM links to the film industry (maths is more important than art for animation roles!), different career opportunities in the sector and some interesting facts such as over 3,000 people worked on the new Iron Man film!
Would-be thespians face the judging panel Auditions for this year’s school production, ‘Rock of Ages’ have taken place and rehearsals are now well under way. Nearly 100 students had taken part in the workshop auditions leading up to the formal audition evening with students having to perform a section of the script and perform part of a song for the show in front of a panel of six judges.
