It’s easy being green!

Woodfall Primary School was lucky
enough to receive funding from the
British Council this year. The school
was able to fund an exchange trip to
South Africa and carry out projects
based around the theme ‘Eco United.’
During Eco Week the children used
recyclable waste to make an Eco
Sculpture. Pupils also dressed in green
to raise money for World Wildlife Fund
and a group of children visited the
recycling centre in Neston.

Financial column with Simon Tutton,
from the Hadlow Edwards Partnership
H ow many times do we say these words with-
out really thinking about the consequences of
what is around the corner? It might be great news
– a new baby or even a win on the lottery.
But sometimes, without warning, life throws the
unthinkable at us. Many of us will know people who
have died young or suffered a life changing illness and
we all hope it will never happen to us. A long-term
illness or injury can be life changing and the financial
consequences can be devastating for our families and
us.
Survival rates for some serious cancers have im-
proved dramatically over the last 10 years with over
80% female breast cancer sufferers and around 70%
of prostate cancer sufferers still alive after 5 years –
source: National Statistics Online April 2009 period
2001-2007. However, many of these sufferers would
not able to return to work full time.
If this were to happen to you, ask yourself the follow-
ing questions.
- How long would my finances last?
- What will I get from the state?
- How long will I get paid at work?
Details of staff sickness terms can usually be found
in a staff handbook or contract and you can find out
about sick pay entitlement at www.entitledto.co.uk,
I had to stop driving my car for a while... the tyres got dizzy.
You never
know what’s
around the
corner
www.direct.gov.co.uk will also explain about the state
benefit availability and how long it is paid for. These
benefits will only provide minimal income sufficient
to maintain a basic standard of living, but are unlikely
to replace lost salary.
Income Protection Insurance (IRP) can provide a
top up to state benefits by providing a regular income
on diagnosis of an illness or injury that keeps you off
work for a significant period. These plans provide a
tax-free income of between 50% and 60% of your
income, paid monthly, either until you return to work
or retire. Usually plans have a deferred period before
the benefit starts to be paid out, which matches the
length of time you continue to be paid. For example,
if you are entitled to six months’ pay then an IRP
policy would start paying out after the six months
period is up.
It’s important that the right plan is taken out to suit
your circumstances, as there are different options
available in the market. A full review of your needs in
this area with a qualified Financial Adviser would be
essential to ensure you end up with the correct cover.

Church dedication
THE Bishop of Chester will
be in Parkgate on Sunday 4th
July for the Dedication of St
Thomas’ Church.
The church was closed back
in 1994 due to structural
reasons and has since been
restored as a church and
community hall thanks to a
gigantic effort by parishioners.
Now, after major structural
work, including a new roof, tie
bars and repairs to stonework
the church has been restored
to its former glory.

Death of veteran Labour councillor Norman Angel
Tributes paid to
former town mayor
Tributes have been paid to long-
standing Neston councillor and former
Mayor of Ellesmere Port and Neston,
Norman Angel, who died on 1st June.
Born in Liverpool on October 12,
1923, Norman graduated from Durham
University with a Bachelor of Science
degree. Following five years with the RAF,
two of these based in India, he forged a
career with Shell, based at the Thornton
Research Centre as a research scientist.
Norman joined Ellesmere Port and
Neston Borough Council, representing
the Neston ward, in 1974 following Local
Government Reorganisation. He was
Chairman of the Housing Committee for
11 years and took on the role of Mayor
of Ellesmere Port and Neston between
1983 and 1984. Prior to 1974 he served
as a Councillor on Neston Urban District
Council, where he was twice Chair of the
Council.
High school campaign
He served as a councillor for over 45
years. Following his decision not to
stand for re-election, he was made an
Honorary Alderman of the Council in 2003
for his outstanding contributions to local
Government.
One of his proudest achievements
was his successful campaign for a
comprehensive school in Neston. In
the early 1950s Neston did not have
a secondary school but by 1958
a secondary modern school was
established, which, thanks to the efforts
I like to reminisce with people I don’t know.
of Norman and others, became a
comprehensive school in 1974.
Cheshire West and Chester Councillor
Derek Bateman, who worked with
Norman at the former Ellesmere Port and
Neston Borough Council, said: “Norman
was an extremely sincere, hardworking
and sympathetic man, who above all, was
fair when it came to decision-making.
“He always put the needs of his
constituents first and was tenacious in
his causes and achieving his aims, never
giving up on what he believed to be right
and true.
“He certainly left his mark on both
Ellesmere Port and Neston and will be
sorely missed.”
He had also been a Governor of Neston
High School and had served as Chair of
Governors of Neston Primary School.
Former Leader of Ellesmere Port and
Neston Borough Council Reg Chrimes
said: “I knew Norman both as a fellow
colleague and as a friend. He was a
dedicated socialist and a fierce champion
of the people of his ward, whom he
represented for more than 40 years.
“His mastery of financial and statistical
detail won him the respect not only
of fellow members but also of council
officers. Throughout his service he
worked in good fellowship with his
colleagues, winning their admiration and
affection.”
Norman is survived by his wife Effie,
son Peter, daughter-in-law Rachel and
grandchildren Daniel and Nathan.

CLAYHILL INDUSTRIAL ESTATE

IMPROVEMENTS SOUGHT
Neston Town Council is calling for
improvements to the town’s industrial estate
off Liverpool Road.
Councillors have been told that business
owners feel isolated and neglected, and
are unhappy with what they see as lack of
support from the authorities.
At its June meeting the Town Council
agreed to a proposal from Cllr Andy
Williams (Neston Ward) for a wide-ranging
consultation with businesses on suggested improvements. These include improved signage
to the estate and on it, and efforts to “green” the area with tree and floral plantings.
The Council also considered whether a change in name to Neston Business Park would be
more appropriate and improve the image of the area.

NEW COUNCILLOR WELCOMED

Kay Loch has joined Neston Town Council as the new Town Councillor for Ness.
Mrs Loch, who is already a Cheshire West & Cheshire councillor, was chosen by the Town
Council from three applicants for the vacancy, following the resignation of Mike Wellman.
Mrs Loch has lived in Ness for 18 years.

NEW LINK IN THE CHAIN

Cllr Moira Andrews, first Chairman of Neston Town Council, has presented a new Town
Council crest to be added to the Mayor’s chain of office.
The sterling silver gilt blue enamelled crest will hang above the pendant. The chain was
originally that of the chairman of Neston Urban District Council which was abolished in 1974
when the borough of Ellesmere Port & Neston was created.

Having the right Will is probably the most

considerate thing you can do for your family
The changing face of society means that more people than ever would benefit from having a
Will.
Today’s family structures are more complicated than our inheritance laws - written in 1925 - could
possibly have foreseen. There are more unmarried couples and single households. Personal wealth
has risen and people now own a wide range of assets.
A standard Will helps ensure that the basic essentials are carried out according to your wishes ; the
Right Will can contain special clauses and trusts to help protect your
beneficiaries and your estate.
With the Right Will and good forward planning you could:
l Ensure children’s inheritance is secure if your partner remarries.
l Help prevent unnecessary loss of the Family Home to Care Fees.
l Reduce, even eliminate the amount of Inheritance Tax you pay.
l Leave things on special terms and conditions.
l Protect the special interests of some beneficiaries (disabled and
vulnerable persons, young children etc.)
Making a Will offers us peace of mind that our estate will be
distributed according to our wishes. However, the consequences of
dying without a Will fall hardest on those left behind to pick up the
pieces.
The “Right Will” for you is about putting All Your Affairs in order.

competition to win copy of new book

New guide for

Wirral walkers
A new edition of the popular ‘Wirral Walks: 100
Miles of the Best Walks in the Area’ comes out on
16th July.
With 27 ideas for local walks, now there is no excuse
for having nothing to do over the summer and beyond!
The walks range from 1½ miles long to a 10½ mile
‘shore to-shore’ route, right across our peninsula.
Most are around 3 to 4 miles – ideal for a stroll of one
and a half to two hours.
The author is Anthony Annakin-Smith, well known on
the Wirral as a walk leader and as a popular speaker
on the local history and landscape. Anthony said ‘We are really fortunate to have such
wonderful scenery on our doorsteps, and there is no better way to see it than on foot.
Pretty villages, beautiful beaches, glorious countryside and so many great views – what
more could you want?’
As well as giving clear directions and easy-to-follow maps the book tells readers about
the natural and man-made points of interest they can see. As Mike McCartney, Cultural
Ambassador for Wirral, who wrote the Foreword to the book says, ‘Not only does the
book suggest some great walking routes but it also explains what we can see along the
way, bringing Wirral’s scenic and historic heritage to life.’
So, whether you are interested in where dinosaur footprints have been found, signs of
our Viking ancestors from over a 1000 years ago or want to know something about the
wind farms off the coast today, the book will tell you.
‘I am often asked which is my favourite walk’ said Anthony. ‘It’s always a tricky
question but the peacefulness, historical interest and stunning views of the Burton
Point route take some beating. As a complete contrast I also love the buildings, street
art and sheer liveliness of New Brighton – this walk always throws up surprises.’
The book, priced at just £8.99, should be available from all good booksellers including
Linghams, Waterstones, W H Smith and Amazon.
Anthony will be leading four free walks this summer: at Parkgate on 24 July, to Neston
Old Quay on 27 July, the Neston Collieries on 8 August and Burton Point on 9 August.
For more details contact Neston Library on 337 4670.

For a chance to win a copy of ‘Wirral Walks’ just answer the following question:
Which people settled on the Wirral over 1000 years ago?
a) Vikings b) Victorians c) Visigoths?
Answers should be sent to: wirralwalks@hotmail.com Please include “Local
Competition” in the address line. Closing date is Monday 2nd August – the
winner will be picked at random from all ‘Local’ readers with the right answer.

I think it’s wrong that only one company makes the game Monopoly.

Rhino mania
A RHINO has been let loose in a
local classroom, but there’s no
need for alarm. A huge team of
pupils from Neston Primary School
have been decorating the mini
rhino as part of this summer’s
Rhino Mania event in Chester . The
children christened their colourful
rhino ‘Ron’ and have spent lessons,
break-times and lunchtimes
creating their work of art.

I was a peripheral visionary. I could see the future, but only way off to the side.

Vivacious colours

The explosion of bright accent colours in
Wirral homes will continue to be the dominant
trend for window fashions for the rest of 2010.
That’s the view of Marc McQuilliam, who is
one of the region’s leading experts on window
blinds, shutters and awnings.
Marc, who owns Apollo Blinds Wirral, says that
homeowners are daring to be different and accent
colours such as mustard, purple and turquoise are
driving demand for window coverings which make
a statement all around the home.
“The impact of colour on our overall outlook
and emotions is driving the continued colour
revolution,” said Marc.
”Wirral homeowners are looking for positivity
and these new colours deliver just that. Daffodil,

 July – high summer
In July, many of the flowering shrubs
are over and colour comes from the
perennials in your garden.
Cool blues can be found in lavenders
which enjoy hot dry situations and will seed
themselves into gravel if you have a gravel
path or drive. Lavender Hidcote with dark blue
flowers is a smaller shrub than the original
English Lavender which has longer stems of
pale blue flowers. Both look good bordering
a path or near a seating area where you can
brush against the foliage to release the scent.
They can die off in hard winters and tend to
become sparse with age so expect to replace
them after a few years. Once flowering is over,
clip the shrub back but do not cut back into
wood without green growth. Lavenders do not
sprout new shoots from leafless wood.
Try planting lavender with deep purple sage
plants for contrast in foliage colour and texture.
There are some good robust perennials that
flower in July that will come up year after year
and require little attention. If you want vibrant
magenta colour, try the perennial geranium
I remember when the candle shop burned down. Everyone stood around singing ‘Happy Birthday.’
Gardening by Janet Heath
Ann Folkard. The plant is not very tall and
produces stems of flowers with black and
magenta pink flowers from summer to autumn.
Cut off the stems after flowering and more
should be produced in autumn.
Plant the geranium with a yellow Hemerocallis
or day lily for a bright and cheerful display of
contrasting shapes and colours. Hemerocallis
come in a range of large and small varieties
with grassy or strap like leaves and tall heads
of lily flowers in July.
In the vegetable garden, plant out winter leeks
and brassicas such as broccoli and sprouts.
Sow lettuce when the weather is cooler,
germination of lettuce seeds is poor in high
temperatures so wait for a cooler period before
sowing seed. Net fruit such as strawberries
and blueberries so the birds do not eat the fruit
first. Raspberries seem to be largely immune
probably as the fruit is not so easy for birds to
reach.

BOOK REVIEWS:
BOOKS FOR SUMMER
BY ELEANOR DAVIES, MANAGER OF LINGHAM’S BOOKSTORE, HESWALL

Paperback Fiction: The Lacuna - Barbara Kingsolver

Some of the national reviews have been rather lukewarm about this book, but I
really loved it. The main character, Harrison Shepherd, is a novelist who writes
romantic adventures. Born in Washington, by the age of 13 he is living in Mexico
with his mother, and her right-wing businessman boyfriend. Shepherd gets a job
as a cook with Diego Rivera and his artist wife, Frida Kahlo, (real life characters)
who take Trotsky into their household when he has to flee Russia and hide from
Stalin’s hit-men. The assassin eventually arrives, Trotsky is murdered, and the
second half of the novel deals with the way Shepherd’s private life is taken to
pieces by McCarthyist ‘Red’ witch-hunters who suspect him of being a militant
Communist.
I know many of our customers are big fans of The Poisonwood Bible and I
would dare to suggest this is just as good. Kingsolver has a magic way of looking
at history from a new angle and this is a highly satisfying and many-layered
novel. Perfect holiday reading and a great one for your Book Club- I hope to do
it in ours!

Biography: The Bridge: The Life and Rise of Barack Obama

- David Remnick
The rise of Barack Obama is one of the great stories of this
century: a defining moment in American history, and one with truly
global resonance. Until now, no journalist or historian has written
a book that fully investigates the circumstances and experiences
of Obama’s life or explores the ambition and conviction behind his
journey to election. The Bridge offers a portrait, at once masterly
and fresh, nuanced and unexpected, of the man who was
determined to become the first African-American president. This
is a big book but an important one for students of American
politics and there are moments of small personal detail which
prevent it from becoming too dry.

Grace has had time to put together this book of mouth-watering dishes using
nothing but fresh ingredients. I can vouch for the deliciousness of her recipes
as she recently had a tasting session outside Linghams- the mixture of smells

is beautifully produced with easy to follow instructions and lovely photography.
