Road Safety Concerns Outside Schools Formby High School ‘Determined to Achieve’ Headteacher: DMA/LFO Mr D A Mackenzie BA (Hons) NPQH Freshfield Road Formby 28 February 2020 Liverpool L37 3HW 01704 873100 For the attention of parents of all FHS students enquiries@ formbyhighschool.com www. formbyhighschool.com Dear Parent @FormbyHigh Road Safety You may be aware that Formby High School is participating in a Formby wide initiative led by Andrew Drewary of Road Safety Smart to improve the safe use of all roads in our community and we will continue to support this initiative in whatever way possible. Thank you to those parents who engaged with the recent workshop delivered by Andrew Drewary and who have committed to be involved with Road Safety Smart as this project develops. Through the project, Andrew Drewary will be delivering a road safety awareness session to our Sixth Form students who are either learning to drive or have passed their driving test. This will take place on Wednesday 11 March. As part of our commitment to road safety, I would like to emphasise that we continue to experience considerable safety concerns around the school entrance due to congestion caused by vehicles dropping off and collecting students at the start / end of the school day. I would like to repeat my appeal to all parents to support us in promoting the safety of all our students and school community in the following ways: Encouraging your child to walk or cycle to school (particularly as the weather begins to improve). Dropping off / picking up further away from the school campus (ideally beyond Rosemary Lane / Old Town Lane) to avoid this dangerous congestion. Considering residents, pedestrians and other road users when parking. For those of you who have a child who drives to school, discussing with him / her safe driving and parking practice. Your support with this is very much welcomed by both members of the school community and our local neighbours. I am enclosing with this letter a copy of Road Safety Smart’s first newsletter. Yours sincerely D A Mackenzie Headteacher Formby High School is a Limited Company registered in England and Wales under Company No. 7724342 Newsletter No1 28th February 2020 IMPROVING ROAD SAFETY OUTSIDE FORMBY SCHOOLS Welcome to the very first Formby Schools Road Safety Initiative monthly newsletter. For many, this will be the first you have heard about the initiative, which has been set up to improve environmental and road safety issues outside all the schools in Formby.

PAVEMENT PARKING CARDS have been used in a number of areas throughout Merseyside, where inconsiderate and illegal parking have caused major road safety concerns outside schools. They are an informative and educational document used to remind drivers of their legal responsibilities when parking, the dangers they cause when parking illegally or when causing an obstruction and the potential consequences to themselves and other road users. A copy of the initiative Pavement Parking Card is below and will be rolled out over the next few weeks. YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!

  • St Faith`S Church, Great Crosby Confirmation Registers 1901 – 2000
    1 St Faith`s Church, Great Crosby Confirmation Registers 1901 – 2000 There are two volumes covering the church`s first century, volume 1 covering the period 1901 to 1958 and volume 2 the period 1959 to 2000; volume 2 is not yet full. The registers have entries for a particular confirmation event detailing the names, ages and addresses of those being confirmed (the addresses are not always included for the most recent confirmation candidates). The location of the confirmation service, its date and the Bishop confirming the candidates are given. A number of early male candidates for confirmation came from Merchant Taylors` School which then took boarding pupils. The first volume, for some individuals, mentions when they moved from the district, joined the forces or joined the merchant navy. During the first decade some adults were confirmed privately at the Bishop`s Palace in Liverpool. Services for adults were often held during the latter part of the year and the main confirmation service during March or April. Candidates before WWII would often travel some distance for a confirmation service, in some cases as far as Wigan, Warrington and Rock Ferry. Although most confirmations were conducted by the Bishop of Liverpool or the Bishop of Warrington there have been times when other bishops have conducted the confirmations. Most notable was Lord Runcie of Cuddesdon but in March 1945 the Bishop of the Argentine presided. An interesting feature of the period up to about 1930 is the number of parents who were confirmed shortly before their children were confirmed. In these transcripts some early confirmations are show as having taken place at the Cathedral.

  • Walking and Cycling Guide to Sefton’S Natural Coast
    Walking and Cycling Guide to Sefton’s Natural Coast www.seftonsnaturalcoast.com Altcar Dunes introduction This FREE guide has been published to encourage you to get out and about in Southport and Sefton. It has been compiled to help you to discover Sefton’s fascinating history and wonderful flora and fauna. Walking or cycling through Sefton will also help to improve your health and fitness. With its wide range of accommodation to suit all budgets, Southport makes a very convenient base. So make the most of your visit; stay over one or two nights and take in some of the easy, family-friendly walks, detailed in this guide. Why not ‘warm-up’ by walking along Lord Street with its shops and cafés and then head for the promenade and gardens alongside the Marine Lake. Or take in the sea air with a stroll along the boardwalk of Southport Pier before walking along the sea wall of Marine Drive to the Queen’s Jubilee Nature Trail or the new Eco Centre nearby. All the trails and walks are clearly signposted and suitable for all ages and abilities. However, as with all outdoor activities, please take sensible precautions against our unpredictable weather and pack waterproof clothing and wear suitable shoes. Don’t forget your sun cream during the Summer months. If cycling, make sure that your bike is properly maintained and wear a protective helmet at all times. It's also a good idea to include some food and drink in a small day-pack, as although re-fuelling stops are suggested on the listed routes, there is no guarantee that they will be open when you need them.

  • Translocating Isle of Man Cabbage Coincya Monensis Ssp
    Conservation Evidence (2012) 9, 67-71 www.conservationevidence.com Translocating Isle of Man cabbage Coincya monensis ssp. monensis in the sand-dunes of the Sefton coast, Merseyside, UK Philip H. Smith1* & Patricia A. Lockwood2 19 Hayward Court, Watchyard Lane, Formby, Liverpool L37 3QP 213 Stanley Road, Formby, Liverpool L37 7AN *Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected] SUMMARY This paper describes the results of a translocation rescue of the British endemic Isle of Man cabbage Coincya monensis ssp. monensis from a sand-dune ridge at Crosby, Merseyside, which was about to be excavated as a source of sand for a coastal protection scheme at nearby Hightown. Using methods developed during a 1992 translocation, over eight hundred 1st year plants, together with seed-pods, were moved by volunteers to two protected receptor sites at Crosby and Birkdale in August 2011. Monitoring the following summer located small surviving populations at the receptor sites but mortality of transplants appeared to be over 90%, seed germination and establishment contributing most individuals. Low success at Crosby seemed partly attributable to winter sand-blow and heavy public pressure, while vegetation overgrowth may have been an adverse factor at Birkdale. An unexpected finding was that the original Crosby colony survived the removal of most of its habitat, about 1300 plants being counted in 2012 on the levelled dune area. More than half were small seedlings, presumably derived from buried seed. Also, 234 Isle of Man cabbage plants were discovered on the new coastal defence bund at Hightown, having arisen from propagules transported from Crosby. Other known Sefton duneland colonies at Southport Marine Lake and Blundellsands were also monitored, the former having apparently declined to extinction.

  • Formby and Little Altcar Neighbourhood Development Plan
    Formby and Little Altcar Neighbourhood Development Plan 2012 to 2030 Page| Page|02 FOREWORD Formby is a great town with a unique heritage and a dynamic future. Its uniqueness is due in part to its open areas of natural beauty, unrivalled coastal dunes and its local heritage. Investment and change in the years ahead will only be worthwhile if it makes a real difference to the lives of local people and the future of its community. The Formby and Little Altcar Neighbourhood Development Plan, [NDP] has been produced jointly by the Parish Councils of Formby and Little Altcar, starting back in September 2013. The Parish Councils wanted the people of Formby and Little Altcar to have a say in all aspects of the future of the town; addressing the issues surrounding housing, infrastructure, health and wellbeing, the environment, and natural/heritage assets. However, most importantly, it wanted local people to decide what they wanted in their community. The NDP sets out a vision for the area that reflects the thoughts and feelings of local people with a real interest in their community. It sets out objectives on key themes such as housing, employment, green space, moving around and community facilities and builds on current and future planned activities. The Parish Councils are committed to developing and strengthening contacts with the groups that have evolved because of the NDP process. We believe that by working together to implement the NDP it will make Formby an even better place to live, work and enjoy. We have had to ensure that our NDP is consistent, where appropriate, with the Sefton Local Plan, the February 2019 National Planning Policy Framework, subsequent updates, and guidance notes.
