Full story andmore pictures inside.Report by Danielle ThompsonGRO<strong>WIN</strong>G calls are being made tolimit the number of houses beingconverted to student flats inOrmskirk, amid fears they will driveout families from the town.West Lancashire Borough Council isfacing an increasing number ofobjections from residents to proposedstudent developments across thetown with some labelling them ‘partybedsits.’The <strong>Champion</strong> reported last weekabout residents’ anger over proposalsfor a student bedsit conversion plan inGrimshaw Lane, but since then moresimilar proposals have been putbefore the council.Marians Drive resident DannyRankin, said the “dynamics of ourhistoric market town are beingdrastically changed with the growthof Edge Hill.”He added: “I’m all for education butResidents call for a halt as morehouse conversion proposals gobefore the borough councilthey must consider the residents asthey try to grow the university. It’sunfair on the community to addstudent party bedsits across town.”Others who have object to theproposals state that it will discouragefamilies from living in the town.Mrs and Mrs Arkinsall, of FairfieldDrive, said: “For Omskirk to flourishand prosper we need more families.Families use our tranport, schools andchurches and also support our shopsand other local businesses byproviding year round cashflow.“We need more families inOrmskirk, not fewer.”A couple who live in Pendle Drive,and have one–year old twins, feel it isnot right to have students flats near towhere young families live. They arealso concerned that if the applicationis granted, it could lead to morestudent properties in the future.A West Lancashire Councilspokeman said the authority wasaware that residents have concernsabout student housing.He added: “Residents can give theirviews on individual planningapplications through the planningprocess. Each application must bejudged on its merits against the local,regional and national planningguidelines. The council cannotcomment on individual applicationsbefore they are determined.”ltdprestige flooringcontemporary and traditional floor designsSPRING CLEAROUTFREE MEASURING & QUOTATION SERVICECHOOSE AT HOME SERVICEWE COME TO YOU!UP TO 50% OFF SELECTED ROLL STOCKCall in now for expert advice from our friendly staff TELEPHONE: 01695 578 555www.prestige-flooringltd.co.uk (In Stiles Car Park) 22a Church Street Ormskirk (Sat Nav Users L39 3QG)1117938

That stops today.“The new online collaborativesystem means people will get thegreen light from the DVLA onlywhere their vehicle has beennotified to HMRC for VATpurposes. Any attempt to cheatthe system will stall.”The online Notification ofVehicle Arrivals (NOVA) systemreplaces the manual system,where people dealt with HMRCand the DVLA separately.More information on the NOVAsystem is available viawww.hmrc.gov.uk/novaPuppy love inspires Brownies’ charity drivePROFESSIONAL OVEN CLEANINGLet us do the chore you hate!Minimal disturbance using our heateddip tank and bio degradable, non caustic,eco-friendly solutions.Prices from only £40.00CLEANING &RESTORATIONSERVICESBEFOREAFTER07986 550 7870151 520 94051117325The Brownies were inspired by Steve and his dog NemoWHEN a troupe of big–heartedBrownies met Steve Cross and hisguide dog, Nemo while taking theirDisability Awareness badge theywere so inspired they decided toraise money to train three newhelper puppies.The girls from the 4th Parbold andDalton group organised a numberof events and raised more than£350, enough to sponsor thepuppies for two years of guide dogstraining.Sandy Smith, who runs the group,said: “It was a fantasticachievement all round.”And eight–year–old CharlotteSanti, eight, said: “Lots of peopleCode1057922came to the fundraising night,including my teacher.

For some time I have been tempted tohave a ride on one of the hybrid midi–buses tobe seen these days on the circular routesaround my home town of Maghull.I never have – partly because I have anin–built aversion to riding anywhere inMaghull instead of walking. It might be takenas a sign I was getting old – it might even be thecause of it if I took it up. But partly because Ihave never really accepted these ‘little buses’as being quite pukka – if you see what I mean.Arriva have introduced a fleet of hybriddouble–deckers onto its cross–river routes inLiverpool. So I ventured forth – and took thebus into town rather than the train.I was lucky with that – the bus I got toLiverpool was one of Arriva’s latest full–sizediesel single deckers. Anyway, so it was that Istood at the stop in St Thomas Street andwithin a couple of minutes a shiny new hybrid‘decker going to West Kirby turned up.The first thing you noticed was the total lackof engine noise as you boarded, and the almosteerie ‘sound’ – if that’s the word – of just avery subdued electric whine as it pulled away.Mind you, the small(ish) engine cut in almostimmediately, but with no shudders, and apartfrom an almost imperceptible drop in speedjust at that moment no fuss either.The problem for me thought was that whilethe engine was running it sounded much likeany old diesel bus to me, with the engine doingquite a bit of the work, though admittedly moreeconomically.It was bus stops that rather spoiled the wholething for me though. Without knowingprecisely how a large (12 tonne) hybrid works Ican only presume that depending on the stateof the battery at any given time, the engineeither keeps on ticking over at a stop, or shutsdown altogether.When it did there was a considerable ‘clunk’,rather like someone throwing a very largecircuit breaker – which I suppose it was, really.The bus itself though was quite impressive,with good lighting and heating and ‘real’leather seats. Very swish. Only trouble withthose sets was though that leather though theycertainly were, they also had very thin squabsso that after a 50 minute or so journey I wasactually quite pleased to stand up again andrelieve my backside.I got the electric train back to Liverpool – andon to Maghull. And though Merseyrail trainshave a sound repertoire of their own, at leastthey are quite obviously linked to compressorsetc cutting in and out or the train controller‘notching up’.One thing I never quite got used to on my busride into the future were the odd clicks andwhirrings that punctuated the ride.I was mightily impressed with the big hybrid. Icouldn’t fault its performance (though it hadlittle chance to show any real pace on the openroad).But I’m afraid that, as a bus enthusiast for aslong as I can remember, this vehicle somehowlacked ‘soul’.And I still wonder about any hybrid’s ‘green’credentials given the manufacture of thebatteries – and their eventual disposal.

HelenePorter played Sarah well although therole really suggested she should havebeen more Jo’s age.while trying to look out for youngMarie.Kieran McGinn and LeeHoney–Jones played their partsbrilliantly as the two American bestfriends Curtis and Milton.

By the end of the show peoplewere dancing in the isles and manywere wiping away a nostalgic tear.Credit must also go to the rest of thecast who supported the leadsbrilliantly. Joe McCourt especially, asthe young actor stood in the for sadlyindisposed Jay Perry to play the role ofSergeant Rufus.Choreography on the night was nearperfect from Bill Deamer and you’dneed to be eagle eyed to spot anymistakes in Mark Bailey’s set andcostume design.Save The Last Dance is a great showwhich really should not be missed.9/10Thought provoking play1118189LOVE MOVIES?

The <strong>Champion</strong> • Wednesday 17 April 2013MOTORSWKVisit us @ www.ChampNews.com • 37Off–roaders don’t need apassion for fashion!THEY don’t make ‘em like they usedto. It’s probably the most overusedcliché in the motoring book, but in thecase of one off–road encounter lastweekend it’s definitely true.The car in question was an old LandRover – specifically, a 1969 Series IIAof the ex–military variety – which Iencountered at a garage in Rainfordand I couldn’t help but swoon over itjust slightly. When you’ve been raisedaround old Range Rovers andDefenders you can’t help it.At least one mate of mine justdoesn’t get my fascination with oldoff–roaders but the great thing withold Land Rovers is they acquire apatina over decades which the newones just don’t have.Whereas it’s right for someone witha sports car to spend hours on endpolishing their pride ‘n’ joy, a SeriesIIA without a thin coating of muck isTwo new versions of the Ford Mondeo are now on offerTWO new twists on Ford’sMondeo are now on offer toanyone searching for a familysaloon.The Blue Oval has slimmeddown its Mondeo menu to justfive offerings, including thenew Graphite and Titanium XBusiness Edition, which are onoffer for £15,995 and £21,995respectively. Both the modelsare being offered with moreequipment than their outgoingequivalents, and the option of acleaner 2.0 litre Duratorq diesellike an Arctic explorer who doesn’thave a craggy face and a light helpingof stubble. Yes, old off–roaders areslow and noisy and corner like oceanliners, but the important thing is thatthey’re hard as nails.Or at least, they used to be, becausewhen I got in that night I saw BMW’slatest take on the off–roader – the X4,which is a bit like an X6 and about asup for a spot of Arctic exploring as GokWan is. Yes, I know I drove an X3 lastyear and found it annoyingly brilliant,but to bring out a spinoff with bizarrecoupe styling and even less off–roadability just seems completelypointless.Doubtless BMW’s boffins in BavariaTwo newversions ofMondeoreleasedCode NAengine.Mark Ovenden, managingdirector of Ford Britain, said:“This upgrade offers FordMondeo customers morefeatures at a more competitiveprice as well as outstanding fueleconomy.“This winning formula hasalways played a key role inMondeo’s success and thesesignificant rangeenhancements will grow itspopularity among UK families.”For details see ford.co.ukThe Range Rover Evoque has beenput to the test in the arctic...would laugh politely at my suggestionif they read The <strong>Champion</strong>, andsuggest that all sorts of people, forreasons beyond modern science,WILL buy one. Why? If you want aBeemer that badly, buy a (muchbetter) 3–Series Touring. If you wanta proper off–roader, get a Defender.If you want Gok Wan dressed as anarctic explorer, get a Freelander or aRange Rover Evoque. That way, Iwon’t be laughing at you when youdrive past.PRESTIGE SECTION53 AUDI A6 1.9 TDI MANUAL met blue, 1 owner, full Audi history,

A flowing movebrought aboutSkelmersdale’s firstgoal, the ball beingworked down the rightbefore a ball across theBurscough 0Mossley 0BURSCOUGH may have suffered a3–0 defeat at the hands Mossleyearlier in the season but it wasn’t to bethe case at Victoria Park on Saturday,as they earned a credible 0–0 drawagainst the Lilywhites and heapedpressure on their opponents as theypush for promotion,writes AdamSaint.The visitors nearly had the lead inthe opening seconds of the game onlyfor striker Young to take a poor touchenabling Horn to deal with thedanger.At the other end Linnets wingerLouis Mayers couldn’t convert JoeCamozzi’s well–timed crossAfter the frantic start the game fizzedout into a chess match, both teamsUnited expect to have huge supportat Goole and have booked two fullcoaches, while at least one ‘exile’ hasindicated he is travelling up fromDevon for the match!For those unable to go to Goole orwho want to re–live the experienceSkem are at home on Saturday toFarsley (kick–off 3pm) when anotherbig gate is expected.It will be an historic day for the town,welcoming home theirall–conquering heroes. And, younever know, should United have NOTbeaten relegation–threatened Gooleedge of the penalty areawas helped on by JoshHine, putting AdamMorning away cutting inon goal from the left andhe hit the ball low andhard into the far corner.In the 27th minute thegoal that many Skemsupporters have wishedfor all season arrived.Lewis Field set off onanother buccaneeringrun down the right andcut inside. The popularright–back, who evenlooks like a latter day‘Blackbeard’ exchangedpasses with Jacksonbefore running on andflicking the ball overFarsley’s aptly–namedgoalkeeper Tom Morganand into the net behindhim. Field is the onlyregular outfield playerwho had not scored aleague goal and he wasengulfed by players andfans alike.The travelling supportnumbered into threefigures and they didn’thave long to wait tocheer again. A free–kickwas lofted into thegoalmouth in the 31stminute, Morgan, underpressure from McIntosh,punched weakly and theball dropped downvertically on toMcIntosh’s head andover a flat–footedMorgan into the goal.The visitors scoredagain in the 37th minutewhen Field was felled bySimeon Bambrook andup stepped the onlyother regular whohadn’t scored,sizing one another up in the midfieldand creating few clear–cutopportunities in front of goal.Controversy came on the half–hourmark when Linnets stopper Tim Hornappeared to carry the ball over hisown line when catching a tricky cross.But the linesman was not placed welland therefore saw no problem.The Greens broke away immediatelybut Niall Cummins’ effort was savedby the Mossley goalkeeper.The second half had morecontroversy when Joe Camozzibrought down Denham on the edge ofthe box.The Mossley players and fans wereincensed with the referee’s decision toaward a free–kick rather than a spotkick.The set–piece was dealt with by theBurscough defence and perhaps atthey might just win the title onSaturday instead.Manager Tommy Lawson has a fullsquad available for the two games.Meanwhile, the club aim to celebratewhat should be a truly memorableweekend by holding a comedy nightat the social club on Friday featuringthree top–line comedians and thecompere from Liverpool’s legendary‘Laughterhouse Comedy Club’, StePorter.Entry costs £10, you can pay on thedoor and the show begins at 8pm.Even the keeper’s on target asSkem notch up a ton of goalsgoalkeeper Sam Ashton.He had come second in atraining session penaltycontest a couple ofweeks ago and drove hisspot kick low insideMorgan’s left post.Skem took their foot offthe accelerator after theinterval and in the 57thminute the impressiveGareth Grant showedremarkable speed toforce his way in on goaland pull one back for thehosts. Then Ashtonmade a pair of top–classsaves to keep out firstGrant then MattyDempsey.Skem finished thestronger and Jacksonheaded on a long ball inthe 80th minute, puttingHughes into the clear, heslotted the ball home.Horn the hero as Linnets keepclean sheet to share the spoilsTelephone01704 392 392Websitewww.champnews.comthis point the home side felt the luckwas with them. The game opened upas it reached its closing stages withboth teams seeking a late winner.Niall Cummins had a fierce shotsaved by Saunders and a glancingheader by Dave Roberts went wide ofthe mark as Brookfield crossed theball across the face of the goal.The final chance of the game went toMossley but Broadbent made a hashof the through ball and Horn didenough to put off the Lilywhitesstriker.Manager Derek Goulding will behappy with the point but will be moreimpressed that his team earned aclean sheet against one of the topsides in the division.Burscough are back in action onFriday when they travel to Wakefield,kick off 7.45pm.© 2013 <strong>Champion</strong> Media Group (Waypride Ltd).

A flowing movebrought aboutSkelmersdale’s firstgoal, the ball beingworked down the rightbefore a ball across theBurscough 0Mossley 0BURSCOUGH may have suffered a3–0 defeat at the hands Mossleyearlier in the season but it wasn’t to bethe case at Victoria Park on Saturday,as they earned a credible 0–0 drawagainst the Lilywhites and heapedpressure on their opponents as theypush for promotion,writes AdamSaint.The visitors nearly had the lead inthe opening seconds of the game onlyfor striker Young to take a poor touchenabling Horn to deal with thedanger.At the other end Linnets wingerLouis Mayers couldn’t convert JoeCamozzi’s well–timed crossAfter the frantic start the game fizzedout into a chess match, both teamsUnited expect to have huge supportat Goole and have booked two fullcoaches, while at least one ‘exile’ hasindicated he is travelling up fromDevon for the match!For those unable to go to Goole orwho want to re–live the experienceSkem are at home on Saturday toFarsley (kick–off 3pm) when anotherbig gate is expected.It will be an historic day for the town,welcoming home theirall–conquering heroes. And, younever know, should United have NOTbeaten relegation–threatened Gooleedge of the penalty areawas helped on by JoshHine, putting AdamMorning away cutting inon goal from the left andhe hit the ball low andhard into the far corner.In the 27th minute thegoal that many Skemsupporters have wishedfor all season arrived.Lewis Field set off onanother buccaneeringrun down the right andcut inside. The popularright–back, who evenlooks like a latter day‘Blackbeard’ exchangedpasses with Jacksonbefore running on andflicking the ball overFarsley’s aptly–namedgoalkeeper Tom Morganand into the net behindhim. Field is the onlyregular outfield playerwho had not scored aleague goal and he wasengulfed by players andfans alike.The travelling supportnumbered into threefigures and they didn’thave long to wait tocheer again. A free–kickwas lofted into thegoalmouth in the 31stminute, Morgan, underpressure from McIntosh,punched weakly and theball dropped downvertically on toMcIntosh’s head andover a flat–footedMorgan into the goal.The visitors scoredagain in the 37th minutewhen Field was felled bySimeon Bambrook andup stepped the onlyother regular whohadn’t scored,sizing one another up in the midfieldand creating few clear–cutopportunities in front of goal.Controversy came on the half–hourmark when Linnets stopper Tim Hornappeared to carry the ball over hisown line when catching a tricky cross.But the linesman was not placed welland therefore saw no problem.The Greens broke away immediatelybut Niall Cummins’ effort was savedby the Mossley goalkeeper.The second half had morecontroversy when Joe Camozzibrought down Denham on the edge ofthe box.The Mossley players and fans wereincensed with the referee’s decision toaward a free–kick rather than a spotkick.The set–piece was dealt with by theBurscough defence and perhaps atthey might just win the title onSaturday instead.Manager Tommy Lawson has a fullsquad available for the two games.Meanwhile, the club aim to celebratewhat should be a truly memorableweekend by holding a comedy nightat the social club on Friday featuringthree top–line comedians and thecompere from Liverpool’s legendary‘Laughterhouse Comedy Club’, StePorter.Entry costs £10, you can pay on thedoor and the show begins at 8pm.Even the keeper’s on target asSkem notch up a ton of goalsgoalkeeper Sam Ashton.He had come second in atraining session penaltycontest a couple ofweeks ago and drove hisspot kick low insideMorgan’s left post.Skem took their foot offthe accelerator after theinterval and in the 57thminute the impressiveGareth Grant showedremarkable speed toforce his way in on goaland pull one back for thehosts.
