Central Area Committee 7 July 2016 Period 24Th February to 31St May 2016 Ravenmeols and Harington Wards Plus Manor West Neighbourhood Inspector James Atherton Central Area Committee 7 July 2016 Period 24th February to 31st May 2016 Ravenmeols and Harington wards plus Manor West Neighbourhood Inspector James Atherton Crime Patterns and Trends Anti Social Behaviour There have been no major issues reported. Acquisitive Crime. There have been 20 residential Burglaries in this period with none in the Hightown area. There was a significant arrest on 2nd March 2016 of two males aged 18 and 17 years from Liverpool in connection with a house Burglary that had occurred that day in Woodland Road, Formby. A car taken during the offence was recovered along with stolen property. Both males have been charged, one has pleaded guilty and the case is proceeding. We continue to actively encourage crime prevention. Reduce the risk of being a victim, lock it or lose it. Record your valuables; better still register them for free on immobilise.com by simply following the links from the Police website. We have a very active Homewatch Scheme and I would encourage people to get involved. You can call 0151-777-4145 and leave a message for Mr Roger Sloman and he will get in touch with you. Alternatively speak to any member of the Dedicated Neighbourhood Team. There is lots of great crime prevention advice available via the Merseyside Police website. You can always come to our advertised surgeries. We are hoping to put on a few special events also. Robbery – One offence where a male has had his bicycle taken by other youths. Significant Court results In recent weeks, two significant sentences following convictions for two Formby residents have been widely reported on in the local media. Both having been convicted of offences involving weapons in the Formby area. Paul Range 6 years. Eric Woodward 5 years. I am hoping to be able to announce details of another significant court result in the near future but reporting restrictions are in place. Neighbourhood Priorities Protecting vulnerable people be they young or not so young remains our key priority Operation Colme Ongoing reassurance and disruption plan in relation to Burglary dwelling offences. This has included additional resources from the neighbourhood disruption team and matrix Roads Policing units. Every Burglary victim receives a follow up reassurance visit and we conduct extensive house to house in the immediate vicinity. As a result of funding from the ward councillors we have also been issuing free smart water kits where appropriate Operation Dragonfly Crime prevention and property registration initiative. We have now completed property registration sessions at Formby and Range High schools and ran a special event at Formby Pool where we were offering free property registration of phones and Bikes. We were also fitting immobitags for free funded kindly by the ward councillors. We have registered over 300 items of property this year alone. We are hoping to do another special event in the Summer School holidays. We remind people to lock their bikes even for a quick visit into shops. Use the best lock you can afford ideally a gold standard one. Lock it in a bright visible area ideally with CCTV and to a secure object. A plastic drainpipe for an example can be easily snapped. We work in close partnership with British Transport Police in tackling this type of crime and have run joint Bike registration sessions. Operation School Gate Parking around schools is a perennial problem at certain locations across Sefton. We work with the local schools and hopefully parents in keeping these areas as safe as possible. Operation Brookdale This annual operation to tackle the menace of Anti-social use of off road vehicles was launched. Twitter / Social Media Twitter - We now have 716 followers. We use this to let the community know of a small part of our daily operational duties. This is not to be used to contact us to report incidents as we have dedicated call handlers 24/7. Mersey Now The community messaging system has now gone live. We would encourage everyone to sign up for it. You can get updates for where you or your family live and work. Sefton Crime Alert This is a collaboration between Merseyside Police and Home watch. Margaret Jepson is the Police volunteer co-ordinator who sends out occasional and very informative e mails about current crime patterns and emerging trends especially in relation to fraud. To receive these you will need to sign up. Simply send an e mail to [email protected] with your contact details. Newsletter Our spring newsletter is free to download from the Merseyside Police website. Beachsafe 2016 We are continuing to work in our established partnership approach to promote safety and prevent crime and ASB in the coastal areas. We often use our specialist vehicles i.e. Land Rover and Quadbikes for patrolling purposes. This is done with the permission of National Trust, Natural England and Sefton council’s coast and countryside department. Other partners include, British transport Police, HM Coastguard, Merseyfire and Rescue Service, RNLI, Sefton council and its ward councillors and parish councils The 2016 Beachsafe media launch was on 19th May 2016 just prior to the bank holiday and half term. Extra staffing was in place over this period. Visitor numbers to the area were very high due to the school holidays and a sustained period of good weather. Reported crime was very low. A lot of time and resource was used on Sunday 6th June looking for a missing child which was reported upon in local media. Thankfully he had simply wandered off and was found safe and well. There will continue to be weather dependant additional patrolling in the forthcoming weekends and school holidays. Meet the Team - 2016 Our crime prevention surgeries are detailed below. It is a chance to come and say hello, ask for advice on crime prevention or talk about crime generally. Lady Green Nurseries.

As part of this The Mersey Forest has secured funding to plant street trees and other greenery along a total of 22km of “linking routes”. The street trees will provide a host of benefits to the areas where they are planted - encouraging residents to spend more time outside, improving air quality, and encouraging active travel. They will have an important role in boosting the local economy by improving the attractiveness of the area, ensuring investor and buyer confidence and leading to jobs. This booklet showcases some of the transformation that has already taken place in Merseyside and further improvements we will carry out through LSTF.

  • Sefton Council Election Results 1973-2012
    Sefton Council Election Results 1973-2012 Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre Plymouth University The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources. Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid- 1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any mistakes should be sent to [email protected]. The results sequence can be kept up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which can be obtained by contacting the email address above. Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line groups together the vote shares for all other parties. Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by- election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance) as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election.

  • 149 Floor Is Strewed with Grave-Stones; One Covers the Remains of an Aged Ecclesiastic of the Eomish Communion, and Is Inscribed " Sa
    149 floor is strewed with grave-stones; one covers the remains of an aged ecclesiastic of the Eomish communion, and is inscribed " Sa. Bo. Ca, Ecc Sacer. ob. die 3° Ap. Ano Domini 1738 at suss 74 Requiescat in Pace." These stones are partially covered by brambles and rank grass that grow ln wild luxuriance. Such is the crude description of the present state of this picturesque ruin; it now remains to endeavour to ascertain when and by whom it was founded, and the cause that led to its present dilapidated condition. Examining the ecclesiastical records of the county from the Taxatio Ecclesiastica, 1291, to the royal commission issued 26th Henry Eighth, 1534-5, the name of Lydiate Chapel does not occur. From this it may be inferred that it was not consecrated. Pennant, in his tour from Downing to Alston Moor, in the year 1773, is the first who has given any account of it. His remarks are illustrated with a tolerably correct view of the ruins. He says " Lydiate Chapel, a small but most beautiful building, with a tower steeple, with pinnacles and battlements, venerably overgrown in many parts with ivy. It had been a Chapel of Ease to the Parish Church of Halsall, dedicated to St. Catherine, and supposed to have been founded by one of the Irelauds of Lydiate Hall; over the door are the letters L. I. for Lawrence Ireland, probably the founder." It is to be regretted that so laborious and respected an antiquary and topographer as Pennant, has not given the authority for his calling it a Chapel of Ease, and for saying that it was dedicated to St.

  • The Manor of Peckleton
    THE MANOR OF PECKLETON INTRODUCTION BY S. H. SKILLINGTON DOCUMENTARY ABSTRACTS BY GEORGE F. FARNHAM, M.A., F.S.A. ARCHITECTURAL NOTES ON THE CHURCH BY ALBERT HERBERT, F.R.I.B.A. The Manor of Peckleton Introduction by S. H. Skillington The documentary evidence printed immediately after this introduction enables us to trace the connection of the family of Moton with the Leicestershire village of Peckleton from the middle of the twelfth century until the beginning of the sixteenth, when part of the manor passed to the Harringtons, of Exton, co. Rutland, through Elisabeth, wife of John Harrington, and daughter and heir of Robert Moton (died 1498), whose son Edward Moton died without issue in 1511; and the remainder of the manor was divided between the families of Vincent and Pole, the descen­ dants of the two daughters and co-heirs of Reginald Moton, who had died without leaving male issue in 1445. The village of Peckleton is situated in the hundred of Spar- kenhoe, about eight miles from Leicester and five from Hinckley, and, in medieval times, was the home of the Moton family, one of the very earliest of the Leicestershire demesne tenants, that is to say resident lords, of the manor, whose names have come down to us. The earls of Leicester were the chief lords of Peckleton, under whom the Motons held the manor, and the arms of Moton—Argent, a cinquefoil Azure—are obviously a variant of those of their chief lord—Gules, a cinquefoil Ermine. This seems to corroborate the statement of Nichols, in his Leicester­ shire, iv, p.
