The Champion • Wednesday 8 May 2013Councillor takesto streets inprotest overbedroom taxWVisit us @ www.ChampNews.com • 5Report by Henry JamesONE local politican is taking his opposition tothe government’s so–called bedroom tax to thestreets – literally.Skelmersdale North councillor Neil Furey has<strong>launched</strong> his one–man campaign against thecontroversial measure by pitching a tent <strong>at</strong>various loc<strong>at</strong>ions across West Lancs.Councillor Furey claims th<strong>at</strong> the coalitiongovernment’s changes to housing benefit, as aresult of which claimants have to pay for‘spare’ bedrooms, could lead to some residentsin the borough being made homeless.He commented: “I have organised this protestto raise awareness of wh<strong>at</strong> might happen totenants who cannot afford to pay their rentbecause of the bedroom tax.“Tenants on a low income and those who aredisabled or unemployed are facing some verydifficult financial problems as a direct result ofgovernment welfare reforms.“Earlier this month I demanded the councilcondemns this policy and agree not tocommence eviction proceedings againsttenants who fall behind with their rent as adirect result of the bedroom tax.“Sadly, the ruling Conserv<strong>at</strong>ive <strong>group</strong> votedagainst this, so tenants who will struggle to paycould end up being thrown on to the streets.Conserv<strong>at</strong>ive councillors showed little concernfor the plight of tenants and are carrying outthe coalition government’s dirty work.“The bedroom tax is simply an <strong>at</strong>tack on poorand disabled people, many of whom will haveno choice but to pay. To avoid being thrown onto the street most will forgo other things, suchas food or he<strong>at</strong>ing to cover the shortfall in theirbenefits.“So when it comes to the bedroom tax therecan be absolutely no justific<strong>at</strong>ion for it. I willcontinue to campaign against the bedroom taxand highlight the consequences of this h<strong>at</strong>edpolicy.”<strong>Cold</strong> <strong>Feet</strong> and Fast Show<strong>star</strong> set to headline <strong>at</strong>Burscough <strong>comedy</strong> <strong>night</strong>Gift ofBeautyA STAR of TV, stage, filmand radio is to appear <strong>at</strong>The Ha Ha <strong>comedy</strong> club inBurscough.Actor and comedian JohnThomson, probably bestknown for his role inpopular <strong>comedy</strong>–drama, of<strong>Cold</strong> <strong>Feet</strong> as well as TheFast Show and as along–time collabor<strong>at</strong>or ofSteve Coogan, will be <strong>at</strong> theWharf on Friday, May 24with Richard Massara whohas an adult themed set.John Thomson hasenjoyed success in film,television, the<strong>at</strong>re andradio.He began his career whilestill <strong>at</strong> college voicing thepuppets on the s<strong>at</strong>irical TVprogamme Spitting Image.After winning the PerrierComedy Award in 1992with Steve Coogan <strong>at</strong> theEdinburgh Fringe, he wenton to work and write withCoogan in the Paul Calfvideo diaries: Three Fights,Two Weddings And AFuneral.

Each time we thought we had passed thefinal hurdle, another obstacle was placed inour way. But this is finally it.“I am delighted for the people of Thorntonwho have campaigned long and hard for thisrelief road to ease the heavy congestion in thecommunity.“The rest of the borough will also benefit ascongestion on roads throughout Sefton will beeased as the new relief road takes the strainand the £19m investment here will be a majorSwitch Islandboost for our local economy.” Cabinet memberfor transport<strong>at</strong>ion, Labour’s Cllr JohnFairclough, praised Sefton Council officers for“negoti<strong>at</strong>ing the detailed technical details”behind the scheme.Cllr Fairclough said: “Councillors and councilofficers have put the hours in on finally gettingto the stage where we can <strong>at</strong> last say th<strong>at</strong> theThornton Relief Road has been given the greenlight.“Th<strong>at</strong> work has involved dealing with all ofthe very technical legal details involved in ascheme of this magnitude, particularly inrel<strong>at</strong>ion to building on land which has beenowned by the Crown.“But they have all pulled out the stops anddelivered.

12 • Visit us @ www.ChampNews.com WK The Champion • Wednesday 8 May 2013LETTERS to the Editor‘No’ to caravan site NOT a case of nimbysHaving read Terry Beddowes’ letter(Champion, April 24) it seems verystrange he has never spoken <strong>at</strong> any ofthe parish council meetings or thepublic meeting th<strong>at</strong> was held.The public meeting was standingroom only and the residents a veryhostile audience. We don’t recallhearing Mr Beddowes speak and hedoes not appear to have written toWest Lancs Council.We have camped and caravanned formany years and we have stayed onsome very noisy sites, with henparties/stag <strong>night</strong>s and some drunkenbehaviour and we would have tomove elsewhere.He is right about the itinerantworkers. This is how the site wouldend up, we believe, as the ‘holiday let’on the site is a dismal failure. Theholiday park would end up in thesame way.Does he realise the tents and tourerswould be sighted very close to thesewage farm, which in the summer isr<strong>at</strong>her noxious? We wonder whowould want to holiday in th<strong>at</strong> spot, allsurrounded by a 30ft hedge with noviews?Mr Beddowes makes no mention ofthis being Green Belt land and to use itfor st<strong>at</strong>ic caravans and such isabhorrent.There are many properties very closeto this site and the noise would be for24 hours as th<strong>at</strong> is the plannedopening time for the site.We will stick with the horticulturalsite as they finish work <strong>at</strong> 5pm.PICTURE of the weekChampagnefootballAn explosion ofchampagnecascades over thechampions asSkelmersdale UnitedFC celebr<strong>at</strong>ewinning theEvo–Stik NorthernPremier League FirstDivision North.Picture by MartynSnape.Code: 1058591.A need for safety measures onapproach to town centreAs a student who walks to EdgeHill every day I have to use thejunction on Derby Street Westoutside the church.Walking towards Ormskirktown centre, in common withothers I have spoken to, I find italmost impossible to cross theroad safely as there is no way ofbeing able to see if any traffic iscoming around the corner.I don’t understand howpermanent residents ofOrmskirk have been able to livewith this. Surely it would besafer for everyone to put <strong>at</strong>raffic mirror on the oppositeside of the road so pedestrianscan have some idea wh<strong>at</strong> iscoming round the corner?Also, standing on the otherside of the road waking awayfrom the town centre, whenmotorists have the option ofgoing straight down SouthportRoad or turning down DerbyStreet West, on a number ofoccasions I have almost beenrun over by drivers who havenot found it necessary toindic<strong>at</strong>e, as I autom<strong>at</strong>icallyassume they are going straighton, not in my direction wellover the speed limit.Edge Hill student, Ormskirk.Anyone towing a caravan andpulling out on Course Lane by IvyHouse Farm is risking their life andthe lives of other motorists.We assume Mr Beddowes, whentowing his caravan aroundNewburgh, would be well aware ofthe best route to take, unlike visitors.This most certainly is NOT a case ofnimbys.We believe the applicant lives inScarisbrick. There are plenty of opengreen fields there, we suggest he puthis caravan park there. It’s near toSouthport, lots to do, no sewage farmclose by and open views.Maybe Mr Beddowes could be hisfirst holidaymaker?Mr & Mrs Sharman, NewburghWe say not in Newburgh please!In response to Terry Bedoes’comments (Champion, April24) may I take this one stepfurther and say, not inNewburgh please!Mr Beddoes forgot to mentionth<strong>at</strong> this proposal is on GreenBelt land and in a residentialarea, not a tourist destin<strong>at</strong>ion.It is for 25 st<strong>at</strong>ic caravans, 20touring caravan pitches, 20camping pitches, severalmobile home ‘hook–up’ sites,and residential holidayaccommod<strong>at</strong>ion, including <strong>at</strong>oilet block and fishing pond(just to <strong>star</strong>t). This could equ<strong>at</strong>eto more than 300 extra people.Common sense tells you th<strong>at</strong>Newburgh does not have thewww.champnews.com/pixonlineOrganic farming is the key toaverting ‘dust storm’ effectThe caption on the photo of thedust storm (Champion, April 17)might allow readers to think th<strong>at</strong>such a severe event for farmerswas an inevitable act of n<strong>at</strong>ure.In 2009, the government waswarning th<strong>at</strong> more than 2milliontonnes of farm topsoil is beingeroded by wind and rain eachyear, jeopardising efforts toincrease food production.In this sense we are living onborrowed time, for the food weimport comes from land oftensuffering even worse soil loss.However, farmers, supported bygovernment and the generalpublic, have it within theircapacity to minimise such eventsthrough more widespreadadoption of organic farming.This approach to soilmanagement conserves theessential carbon in the form ofhumus, bacteria and fungi whichall serve to bind the soil particlestogether and help prevent top soilloss, and incidentally reduce ourcarbon emissions.These micro–organisms whichhelp crops grow well are oftenkilled by chemical sprays anddeep ploughing, which, woefully,is standard practice over much ofour land.John W<strong>at</strong>t, Yew Tree Road,Ormskirkinfrastructure to accommod<strong>at</strong>ethis. This development willhave major impact on localresidents. The only beneficiaryis the applicant, who lives out ofthe area.If this applic<strong>at</strong>ion is approvedthe long–term impact would bedetrimental to the beauty of asmall rural village situ<strong>at</strong>edwithin a Green Belt which ismuch valued by its localcommunity and must lawfullybe protected.If people want to know thetruth about this developmenthave a look on the boroughcouncil’s website.Mr & Mrs Parsley, Newburgh.Think again, TerryWh<strong>at</strong> a load of nonsense Terry Beddoes wrotein the Champion (April 24) about NIMBYS andthe plans for a caravan park.I suggest he reads the comments on thecouncil website and see why people are up inarms about this.Peace and quiet on a caravan park, MrBeddoes? Well, I don’t know wh<strong>at</strong> kind ofcaravan parks you visit. Certainly not like anyI’ve visited, obviously. The noise after 11pm ishorrendous.I wonder if Mr Beddoes would like 26 st<strong>at</strong>iccaravans 30 feet away from his front door.I suggest he looks <strong>at</strong> the council’s websiteagain to re–think his ridiculous comments.D.

Beenthere, donesome of themI WAS fascin<strong>at</strong>ed by an article in my daily paperabout the 50 adventures every child shouldhave before the age of 12.I thought I would be able to tick virtually allthe boxes – but I was reckoning without thenew additions, some of which, to be fair,weren’t even available before I was 12. Or forth<strong>at</strong> m<strong>at</strong>ter for several decades after.But <strong>star</strong>ting from the top of the list, compiledby the N<strong>at</strong>ional Trust, I certainly had climbed <strong>at</strong>ree and rolled down several big hills.Just as well it didn’t mention the gettingdown again from the big tree (always aproblem for me) – or the scolding I once gotwhile on a picnic with my parents for gettinggrass stains on my best shirt through my rollingdown exercises.Still, been there, done them.Mind you I never camped out in the wild orflew a kite. The l<strong>at</strong>ter was something I trulyregret and hope one day yet to fulfil.But for long bike rides, damming steams,playing conkers, exploring inside a cave andbuilding a raft or checking out cre<strong>at</strong>ures in arock pond – then I was your boy.Some activities listed such as learning tohorse ride or canoe down a river were beyondmy means though donkey rides (without crashhelmets) were a part of holiday life.I still wouldn’t know a geocache if I fell overone – and in any case no–one those days hadthe not–yet–invented GPS apparentlynecessary – and as for holding a scary beast,well I did grab my best friend ’F<strong>at</strong>ty’ Smithfrom time to time. (Couldn’t have such afriend these days though).Mind you, my friends and I outdid some ofthese present–day explorers (how did c<strong>at</strong>chinga falling leaf get onto the list?) by quite a longway.’Find some frogspawn’ is one activity we did.We found the frogspawn in a ditch <strong>at</strong> thebottom of the garden and decided to buildourselves a ‘taddery.’ The idea was to dam theditch (another activity to be crossed off) andcre<strong>at</strong>e a kind of h<strong>at</strong>chery in which we couldw<strong>at</strong>ch the frogspawn develop into tadpolesand eventually transform into frogs. All in theinterest of science.I went well into the tadpole stage. But thenthe we<strong>at</strong>her changed for the better (or worse asit turned out for the tadpoles).Because of the hot we<strong>at</strong>her we had to keepadding w<strong>at</strong>er to the taddery. And one day wewere called in for lunch – and by the time wereturned the whole thing had disastrouslydried out.Taught us a lesson though.And then there was our pottery makingenterprise. Didn’t see th<strong>at</strong> on the list.Simple, we found an old metal bucket withthe bottom rusted out and realised it bore adistinct resemblance to kilns we’d seen on TV.So with the aid of a spade, (to dig a hole in thegarden) and an old metal foot scraper for abase to put our pots on, we were almost readyfor business.Clay from the sides of a local brook, and bits ofwood and coal to light under the foot scraperand – Hey Presto – we had a working potterywhich produced mainly egg cups which wechristened ‘Chunky Ware.’Let modern kids try th<strong>at</strong> one on for size!

The Champion • Wednesday 8 May 2013 WK Visit us @ www.ChampNews.com • 23VILLAGESPECIALISTSFocus on NewburghD<strong>at</strong>ing back over 700 Years Newburgh village is one of themost <strong>at</strong>tractive small villages in West Lancashire, as well as aformer winner of the best kept village competition. Loc<strong>at</strong>edbetween the larger villages of Parbold and Burscough andabout five miles from Ormskirk. Commuting from Newburghis a breeze both junction 27 of the M6 and junction 4 of theM58 can be reached in under 10 minutes. Plus a number oflocal railway st<strong>at</strong>ions are all within easy reach. The village isbounded by the Leeds Liverpool Canal and the river Douglas.It is rich in open space and recre<strong>at</strong>ional areas, surroundedby greenbelt countryside, <strong>at</strong> it heart is a pretty conserv<strong>at</strong>ionarea and village green- the site of ancient fair th<strong>at</strong> still runs tothis day every June.Traditional Values...Surprisingly innov<strong>at</strong>iveThe village has a strong sense of community with around1100 or so residents, it is an active and busy community withmuch to appeal to all ages. The local school Newburgh CEPrimary School has been r<strong>at</strong>ed 'Outstanding' by OFSTED.The Red Lion Pub is <strong>at</strong> the heart of the village where a warmwelcome is assured.

RobTownsend on drums completed theline–up.KEN Dodd’s happiness show cameto Southport The<strong>at</strong>re <strong>at</strong> theweekend and wh<strong>at</strong> a tre<strong>at</strong> it was.I was pre–warned th<strong>at</strong> the comiclegend was well known for hisexuberant and extended routinebut I laughed it off and thought nomore of it.On came the dancing girls andsinger to introduce Ken, much tothe delight of the awaitingaudience. Here he was.Bouncing on stage with all thevigour and excitement of a12–year–old, Ken immedi<strong>at</strong>elygrinned and told us all th<strong>at</strong> we wereThe set opened with one of theclassic blues standards, MississippiFred McDowell’s Few Short Lineswith Dave Kelly and Tom McGuinnesssharing vocals. I particularly likedtheir version of New Stockyard Blueswhile Paul Jones had the audiencesinging along with Suddenly I Like it.My only reserv<strong>at</strong>ion about The BluesBand is the absence of a decent bluespianist. There is only so much aharmonica can do and someone in thestyle of the l<strong>at</strong>e Johnnie Johnson, whoplayed on all the early Chuck Berryhits, would be ideal, and never moreso than for the closing titles of theevening, Big Joe Turner’s ShakeR<strong>at</strong>tle and Roll and Chuck Berry’sLittle Queenie where Paul Jonestre<strong>at</strong>ed us to his impression of theDuck Walk and Tom McGuinnessshowed he could rock and roll withthe best of them as he played guitarbehind his head.“You are lucky to have a venue aswonderful as this, especially in thesedifficult times. So make sure you useit,” said Tom McGuinness, addressingin for a long <strong>night</strong>.Joke after joke reeled off histongue. The audience were in tearslaughing.A slight chesty cough did nothingto put him off his stride either – Kensimply brushed it off and noted th<strong>at</strong>he “should’ve paid the congestioncharge!”I checked my w<strong>at</strong>ch <strong>at</strong> half pasteight and there was no sign of aninterval anywhere.Soon however he announced ashort interlude with various guestsingers including the wonderfullytalented Mezzo Soprano DanielleThomas from Liverpool.An interval yet? No chance as Kencame bounding back on stage withPaul Jones of The Blues Band.Photo by Ron Ellisthe audience. He added howhonoured they all were to be the firstband to play in Southport’s“prestigious new venue.”Let us hope they took notice.Comedy legend’s show was a tre<strong>at</strong>Review byOllie CowanDIRTY Dancing is returning to theNorth West this month.It will be staged <strong>at</strong> the PalaceThe<strong>at</strong>re, Manchester from Tuesday,May 21 to S<strong>at</strong>urday, June 15.Written by Eleanor Bergstein,script writer and cre<strong>at</strong>or of thesuccessful 1987 film, theproduction fe<strong>at</strong>ures all thecharacters and original dialoguefrom the film with extra scenesadded in.The show sees Baby and her familygo to Kellerman’s holiday resort in1963. Baby meets bad boy Johnnyand he teaches her to dance andthey <strong>star</strong>t an unlikely rel<strong>at</strong>ionship.The <strong>action</strong> is set to the hits fromthe soundtrack, such as Do YouLove Me?, Hungry Eyes and theAcademy Award Winning (I’veHad) The Time Of My Life.Dirty Dancing was last performed<strong>at</strong> the Palace in December 2001 andalmost 100,000 people went to seethe show.Paul–Michael Jones will continueto <strong>star</strong> as Johnny Castle. The rolewas made famous around the worldby P<strong>at</strong>rick Swayze in the 1987movie. Paul’s the<strong>at</strong>re creditsinclude playing Eddie in MammaMia <strong>at</strong> the Prince of Wales inLondon. He has also representedEngland as a L<strong>at</strong>in American andBallroom Dancer, as one of the toptwo English couples, <strong>at</strong> The Worldmore jokes, and tickling sticks.Soon people began to leave,simply because they would miss thelast bus.Eventually he announced theinterval <strong>at</strong> 9.45pm.In the second half Ken fired jokeafter joke, and included TheChampion in one of his routines. By11pm there was only one man in thethe<strong>at</strong>re who wasn’t thinking aboutleaving.•Ollie’s Verdict: An absolutelyamazing show from a <strong>comedy</strong>legend. Some of his support actsweren’t overly fabulous butDanielle Thomas risked stealing theshow with her beautiful singing.8/10West End musical returns to NorthWest stage <strong>at</strong> the end of this monthReport by Henry JamesOrchestra to present hit movies and musicalsTHE Southport Orchestra has againjoined forces with the Octave Choirand will be presenting a galaperformance of Movies andMusicals <strong>at</strong> Southport’s Floral Hallon S<strong>at</strong>urday, June 22.The concert follows on thesuccessful evening the <strong>group</strong> gavein celebr<strong>at</strong>ion of Her Majesty’sDiamond Jubilee <strong>at</strong> the Floral HallChampionships in Singapore.American performer JillWinternitz <strong>star</strong>s as Baby.

The Champion • Wednesday 8 May 2013WKVisit us @ www.ChampNews.com • 33Crossovers nowsend me to sleep!THE saloon is dead. Long live the sort ofh<strong>at</strong>chback–meets–people–carrier–meets–off–roader!Unless you’ve been living in a cave for thelast year or two you won’t have failed tonotice th<strong>at</strong> your nearest car park isn’tcrammed with Mondeos and Vectrasanymore; increasingly, it’s Jukes andCountrymans you’ll encounter.Ordinary h<strong>at</strong>chbacks masquerading asoff–roaders – or crossovers, as the est<strong>at</strong>eagents of the motoring world would r<strong>at</strong>heryou and I call them – have been around forages, as anyone familiar with the TalbotM<strong>at</strong>ra Rancho (well worth a cheeky Google,by the way) will testify. The recentrenaissance really took off when Nissandropped saloons entirely and replaced thePrimera with the Qashqai, following it upMOTORSThe MG CS is the l<strong>at</strong>est in a long line of crossoverswith the weirder but usefully smaller Juke.Since then Skoda, Renault, Chevrolet, andMINI are among the car makers vying for achomp <strong>at</strong> the crossover cake, with Vauxhalland Peugeot set to join the party l<strong>at</strong>er thisyear.The only problem with crossovers is theyessentially fall into two c<strong>at</strong>egories. There’sthe deliber<strong>at</strong>ely trendy, lifestyle–orient<strong>at</strong>edofferings like the MINI Countryman and theNissan Juke, which like Justin Bieberdownloads sell in their shedloads butsomehow make your mind ache slightly <strong>at</strong>their very existence.I worry, just a little bit, th<strong>at</strong> MG’s gone forthe wrong approach of the two – if theirproposed offering, the CS is anything to goby.

Sudworth, who is also theportfolio holder for health, leisure andcommunity safety, called the claims“scurrilous” and said he had not, andwould not, take part in discussionswithin council on Whitemoss.The Whitemoss consult<strong>at</strong>ion websitewww.whitemoss–consult<strong>at</strong>ion.co.uk/was designed by Brandfly Marketing.According to Brandfly’s own website,www.brandfly.co.uk/meet–the–team.html,David Sudworth is listed as a PRassoci<strong>at</strong>e of Brandfly.Meanwhile, Cllr Sudworth’sdeclar<strong>at</strong>ion of interest section on thecouncil’s website lists him asbelonging to charity, the WhitemossCommunity Fund AdvisoryGroup/Grantscape.
